“Ivette dogsat recently for me in her home and Ivette and her husband took great care of my fur baby Lambo. Their dog Blas was also so sweet and welcoming to Lambo and they had a great time together. Ivette provided wonderful updates and pics during Lambo's stay. As soon as I met Ivette i felt so comfortable leaving Lambo with her. I would highly recommend Ivette and will definitelt utilize her services again in the future.”
“Sanaz was great with my dog Whitney! She was super flexible and communicative while I was away. I had no doubt that my pup was in great care the whole time. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Michael watched my almost 11 year old pup for a few days and he was great! He was very accommodating with adding an extra day to my already booked stay for her. As well, as being understanding when my flight was slightly delayed. Stella seemed to have a great time with her new friends!”
“Janise was amazing! She took such great care of our dog, Chiara. She was very attentive, kind, and made sure Chiara felt comfortable the entire time. We really appreciated that she sent photos and videos every single day — it gave us so much peace of mind. When we picked her up, Chiara looked happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. We would definitely book with Janise again and highly recommend her!”
“Euitae was the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. Euitae was responsive and so so attentive and caring for my senior guy, Jack, taking Jack for lots of walks and adventures in the park, and even a dog café where Jack got to make new friends. I’m so incredibly grateful for Euitae and 1000% recommend him as a sitter! I can’t wait to call Euitae again, Jack had an AMAZING time.”
“Sabrina was amazing with magnolia! I’ve had unfavorable Rover experiences in the past so planned ahead and did a meet and greet. I could tell instantly how warm and genuine she is- she even read up on the notes before that meeting. I felt super comfortable heading into our weekend away. During the weekend she gave several updates and was generous with photos/ videos all descriptive of magnolias characteristics. I knew Magnolia loved her stay with Sabrina when I picked her up and she kept looking back for her to walk away with us! I will absolutely book with her again whenever she’s free!”
“My dog had a great weekend with Adam and his dog Hermes! Adam took them out on walks/ dog park multiple times daily, and provided plenty of updates and pics. He even let my dog sleep on the bed! Highly recommend Adam, especially for small dogs!”
“John is a great Rover while he watched Pisco for a couple of days. He responds quickly, and we enjoyed his daily pics on how Pisco is doing. Thank you!”
“Chloe and her husband were once again amazing with our dog! While we were away for the weekend we received tons of pictures of George looking happy and settled while at their place :)”
“Bridget really helped me out when I needed a last minute sitter! She was very quick to respond to all messages and sent photos throughout my dog’s stay with her. I would definitely use Bridget again.”
“I can’t recommend them enough! We were nervous to leave Elsa with anyone, but they were wonderful and treated her like family. The frequent updates kept our minds completely at ease. They were absolutely wonderful and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“We appreciated the pictures and updates on how buddy was doing. Amanda definitely loves animals. We knew from the first time she met buddy and Amanda bent down to take buddy's face in her hands and pet her. Buddy looked very comfortable in the pictures she sent us. You were great Amanda.”
“Where to even begin? Onelsis gave A+++ care to Diggory and Dottie - if you want to go on a trip or vacation without worry, Onelsis is the person who will take care of your baby/babies like they are her own. Diggory and Dottie made themselves at home and enjoyed every minute with her, and I didn't have to worry about them even for a second while being OOT for over a week. They slept with her every night, she literally CARRIED Dottie (my little one who has refused to walk outside ever since she got a haircut) on morning and evening walks, and more - I know they will miss her a lot. What is even better is that though her care giving was like a mother, she treats her dog sitting very professionally - I received tons of updates daily, extremely detailed pre and closing messages for our booking, etc. She is a true pro - we will definitely be back!! Thank you Onelsis :)”
“Bitzie had a great time with Mykyla and Andrew! Appreciated the multiple updates and pics, and flexing to keep her an extra night due to my travel delays. Will def be a return guest.”
“Anne was lovely and kept intouch throughout the stay. Her Condo is lovely, bright and spacious. She has a doggy couch, a large bowl of fresh water and toys available for guests. Nugget had a good time.”
“Sarah and Danny were extremely kind and communicative. They sent plenty of photos and updates throughout my dog’s stay, putting my mind at ease. I would definitely use them again.”
“Will definitely book with Ryan again soon! He proactively sent lots of updates and pictures and was responsive whenever I reached out. He indulged my pup in all the cuddles he demanded, and I trust he was in good care :)”
“Vasiliki is amazing with Kira. My dog is a bit anxious but she loves Vasiliki and looks forward to staying with her all the time! She is super responsive and sends me frequent updates about Kira during her stay. Vasiliki was very accommodating of accepting Kira for a last minute request as well. Kind and responsible, will continue to have Vasiliki take care of Kira moving forward! 🙂”

Cedric was amazing! He already had a full dog setup at his place and was clearly very experienced in caring for dogs. He provided regular updates and was extremely responsive throughout the stay. My younger pup is a bit of a handful, but Cedric did a wonderful job ensuring he got plenty of walks and playtime. I 100% recommend him and would love to book him again!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jesse was absolutely amazing with my baby girl, Astrid! 🐶💕 I felt completely at ease knowing Astrid was in such loving and caring hands while I was away. Jesse took such great care of her, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Astrid definitely made a new bestie! 🥹❤️ Highly recommend her!
I truly cannot express with words what a star Sitter Yuliia is! She is incredible to work with, asked all the Right questions before I dropped off Louie to make sure she knew everything there was to know about taking care of him. She was super communicative. Made the pick up and drop off Seamless. She sent me photos and updates throughout my trip and really put me at ease. My flight was delayed on the way home and she said it was no problem at all, and that my Louis was safe and sound, and she even offered to take care of him an additional night if needed, which really put my anxiety at ease. And then, of course, due to the delay my plans were disrupted for an event that I had that evening, and she even went above and beyond to drop Louie off at my place so that I wasn’t late to my event. If I could give her 100 stars and $1 million dollars to be my permanent sitter for Louis - trust me I would! but definitely will be booking her every single time on priority going forward.
Isabella was lovely! Our 9 month old pup loved her. She responded quickly to any questions, shared plenty of updates and photos while we were away, and was flexible when our plans changed. Our dog can be high-energy at times since she's still young, but Isabella was great at dealing with it. We would absolutely book with her again.
We had a great experience! They took really good care of our dog and he was very happy and comfortable with them. They also kept us updated throughout the stay by sending lots of photos and videos. We really appreciated how attentive and caring they were. Would definitely recommend them and book again!
Kailli was amazing! Our little guy Rocky had a great time and felt right at home with Kailli. Kailli sent frequent updates of his stay with us and sent awesome pictures to see how Rocky was doing during his stay with Kailli. We will be using Kailli during our frequent visits to NYC. Thank you Kailli for taking such a great care of our little one.
Adeanna did an amazing job taking care of Lyric for three days! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands. Adeanna was great about sending pictures and regular updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated being able to see Lyric’s progress throughout her stay and how comfortable and happy she was. It was clear that Adeanna was attentive, caring, and genuinely invested in making sure Lyric was well taken care of. Lyric came home happy and well cared for, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Adeanna, for taking such great care of my girl! I would definitely recommend her and will absolutely book with her again. ❤️🐾
He was super responsive and took great care of my dog! He was also very flexible and accommodating when my flight was unexpectedly canceled and I had to adjust the schedule. I really appreciated how easy and stress-free he made everything. I highly recommend him and will definitely use his services again!
Lindsey was such a gem with our dog. In the photos sent over, Clem looked like she was really enjoying herself, and looked happy to be there. Lindsey was also very accommodating to a flight delay, and worked with us to make sure our trip back into the city was as easy as possible when it came time to pick her up. All requests about food and walks were taken to heart, and communication was fast and easy.
Sarah is a reliable dog sitter and also, a very passionate dog lover. I was so happy to have her watching my dog for the weekend because Sarah kept me regularly updated with funny stories and photos. She truly loves being around animals which makes the time away great for everyone!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Union City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Union City on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 14,059 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Union City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Union City sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Union City landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Union City home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Union City.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Union City sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
