“It’s official, Magnolia did not want to leave Sabrina this time! Our dog always has the best time and Sabrina gives amazing updates. I feel so comfortable knowing magnolia is receiving great care.”
“We booked with Sanaz for a long weekend and Ivy adored her! She sent us daily updates and took Ivy on lots of walks. Ivy gets very anxious when we go anywhere without her, and Sanaz was very understanding of her separation anxiety and made her as comfortable as possible. She also was flexible with timing of drop offs and pick ups which was much appreciated!! Thank you so much! (:”

“Ryan watched both our dogs for a couple of days while we were gone. Initially it was only supposed to be one but we had some plans change and had a last minute request which he kindly accommodated. He kept us updated everyday while watching the boys. One of them got an upset stomach which he helped tend to. Thank you for taking good care of the boys!”
“Roman was incredible. He sent us daily pictures and videos and was very communicative. He took such great care of Luna for 2 weeks, taking her for long walks in the park. We will absolutely work with him again.”
“Michael was a total professional. He took great care of my 3-year-old dog during an extended stay and was consistently responsive with texts and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. He was also very flexible and accommodating with pick-ups and drop-offs. I could tell my dog had a great time relaxing on their couch and felt right at home.”
“Another great boarding with Marlene! My dog was so happy to see her, and it was great to leave town knowing she was in the best hands. I got regular photo updates, and my girl looked happier and healthier when I picked her up than she did when I dropped her off. I think she's a little sad to be home though...😂”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Sarah gave Dante an outstanding stay caring for him while we were away visiting family do 3 days. She sent plenty of photos and kept us updated several times a day on how he was doing. She took Dante on 2-3 walks a day and gave him plenty of opportunities to make new furry friends at Central Park. Highly recommend Sarah and hope we can work together again!”
“Lal, Matt & Hank were great! My doggy boys stayed with them for a week while we were travelling out of state and they looked like they were having a nice little doggy vacation themselves with their new found friends. Lal would keep us updated with how our boys were doing by also posting pictures and videos along with the texts and e-mails. Lal really took the time to get to know the boys well specially during their meet and greet. Plus the fact that their LabraDoodle, Hank got along very well with the boys made me really feel at ease. I would definitely pick them again for our upcoming travels. So happy to know that my doggy boys were in good hands while we were away. Highly recommended.”

“Our pup Esther had not been away from us for a full week and had not spent the night in anyone else’s home. Eleanor quickly charmed Esther and took good care of her - she asks insightful questions about dog behaviors and character. Most importantly, Esther returned home calm and and happy. Also better socialized with other dogs! We will rely on Eleanor again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Union City
Philip was absolutely wonderful with our dog Hades! Hades has anxiety and needs a little extra patience and care, and Philip went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and at home. It was clear from the start that he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. His sweet pup, Nana Bu, was also incredibly welcoming and helped Hades settle in, which made such a difference. We could tell Hades was in great hands, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We couldn't be happier with the care Hades received and would absolutely book with Philip again. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a kind, attentive, and trustworthy sitter!
Alexis was amazing with our rescue dog Brutus! Brutus can be scared with new people, but Alexis took the time to really understand his needs and make sure everyone was comfortable. With an anxious rescue it is always nerve-wracking to travel and leave, but Alexis made the experience so much easier! She sent us regular updates and photos and we felt very confident that Brutus was in good hands while we were away. We would love to work with Alexis again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!
We reached out to Barry and Lei after a last-minute cancellation, and we couldn’t have been happier with the outcome. They were super responsive and easygoing, with flexible drop-off and pick-up times, and they sent us picture updates constantly. Frida was spoiled with lovely walks and lots of attention the whole time. Thank you Barry and Lei, we’ll definitely be back!
They are very professional, experienced, and thoughtful. They took the time to understand Kuma’s personality and needs, and sent me daily photo updates. Kuma had so much fun with them and got along great with their dog, Nala. When I picked up Kuma, she didn’t even want to leave! I’m so grateful for their thoughtful care and would highly recommend them.
We absolutely love Alejandra! She cares for and loves our fur baby as if he were her own! She is extremely communicative and focused on delivering the best possible care for our dog. She is always our first choice for dog care and our dog loves her more than anyone else! This was our first time doing housesitting and we did not have to worry for one second!

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 14,077 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.
