“Janise and her family took amazing care of my dog Faith! She suffers from some anxiety, but they were patient, brought out the best in her, and kept us updated frequently. Would definitely recommend!!”
“John and his family are absolutely amazing. I left Iroh with him for a full week and didn’t worry once! He sent pics and kept me updated throughout my trip, which really put my mind at ease! 100000/10 would recommend!!!”
“Euitae was amazing with our pup Nutmeg! He was incredibly responsive, sent us plenty of photos, and treated her like one of his own. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands and look forward to having Euitae care for Nutmeg again soon.”
“Could not recommend Sanaz enough, she is communicative, charismatic and reasonably flexible about drop off and pick up. We have a big, high energy dog and he came home a tired boy!”
“Another great stay with Michael. He is so caring and our fur baby always has a good time despite his separation anxiety. Bonus is that Paneer is now good friends with Bread! Thank you Michael!”
“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.”
“Amanda was beyond great with my baby Suzy! She sent multiple photos per day, general updates, kept her safe and happy throughout the time with her. She even threw Suzy a little birthday party during her birthday! 🎂 10/10 will book every time we need a sitter.”
“Mykala and her partner took great care of my dog Tails! It was a fairly last minute request for multiple days of boarding so I was very relieved to find good caregivers for him. They provided lots of updates and Tails enjoyed spending time with their dog Boots. I would book again!”
“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!”
“Caterina was terrific with Fala! She sent updates and photos + videos throughout Fala's two night stay and despite generally stormy weather, got Fala out as much as possible. I look forward to booking with Caterina again!”
“Christa really is the best! I think Cody loves her more than he loves us :) She is really pleasant to work with, and always very accommodating. She kept us thoroughly informed throughout our trip. Every time I read her update puts a smile on me. It made our get away even more sweeter experience!”
“Chloe was amazing! Seri (dog) really enjoyed her time there. She was able to play with the cat and dog, and I can tell she didn’t want to leave. Don’t know what that says about me lol either way, I highly recommend Chloe for your pet boarding needs!!”
“Grace was sensational with our dog, Chopper. She was able to accommodate us on short notice and was a fantastic communicator - prompt and responsive. Grace was excellent at providing updates via text and photo at the end and beginning of each day and even laid out plans for chopper for the day. Chopper loved his time there and we will absolutely be working with Grace in the future!”
“I could not have imagined a better sitter for my puppy, Leo. This was my first trip away from him, so I was a little nervous and didn't know what to expect. Wei was super communicative from the start. We exchanged many messages before my trip, and met in person so my pup could meet her sweet doggo ahead of time. I could tell right away that Leo was in good hands. I so appreciated all the pictures and videos of Leo while I was away. You can 100% trust her with your pet! We will definitely book with her again. Thank you Wei!”
“Dontae was amazing with Kira. I was abroad and needed someone to take care of her in a pinch and he was very accommodating. He regularly sent updates and made sure Kira was comfortable. His dog seemed to be very chill and got along with Kira. Will definitely book again, thank you again for your help Dontae!”
“Sarah & Danny were fantastic - They were communicative, responsive, and followed the provided instructions very well! My dog could be anxious in new surroundings and have specific needs, but from the moment I met Sarah, she asked all the right questions and I could tell how much she loves and cares for dogs. I was not worried about leaving Ollie with her at all, and came back from my trip to a very happy dog! I would definitely book with them again!”
“Ayush was very attentive and sweet! My dog absolutely loved being with him and was comfortable from the first moment they met. Would definitely rebook and recommend!”
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful with Georgia and all of her quirks. From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely cared about Georgia’s happiness and well-being. She took Georgia on lots of adventures, kept her active and engaged, and even spoiled her with treats and bones purchased out of her own pocket. Jessica truly went above and beyond throughout the stay. She was attentive, communicative, and always happy to provide updates whenever I asked. Knowing Georgia was in such caring hands gave me complete peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jessica again, and I’m confident Georgia would be thrilled to stay with her in the future. Highly recommend!”
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Union City
We booked Roman last minute and he was excellent! Frequent videos, pictures, and updates of Jobi were incredibly reassuring as this was his first time staying with someone other than a friend/family member. So glad we have someone reputable in the neighborhood to watch our pup!
Shirley is such a sweet and kind person. She was truly so accommodating and attentive. Princeton had a curveball health issue while we were out of town and she went above and beyond to care for him and ensure me that he was ok. I’m very thankful for everything she did to make him feel comfortable and healthy.
Sorayah was absolutely wonderful! My dog stayed with her for 7 weeks, and it was clear from all the photos and videos that she was having the best time. Sorayah sent me the sweetest updates throughout her stay, which made being away from my pup for so long so much easier. She also did a great job keeping up with my dog’s various medications and supplements, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loved her and came home happy and well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found Sorayah and will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time I travel. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and genuinely caring to look after their pup!
Alexandra was a superstar, literally the best and most accommodating person (not just sitter!) that we could’ve hoped for. She was attentive, responsible, and loving with her care of our dog, and she even created some silly, cute memories for him. I wouldn’t hesitate at all to book again with her. If she’s available, sprint to book her!
Had such a good experience with Leslie! My dog is a senior and can be very anxious, so I’m always a little nervous leaving him, but Leslie took really great care of him and made me feel super comfortable the whole time. Was also very communicative, sent me lots of cute pictures and updates, followed all of his care instructions, and really paid attention to his needs and my dog also ended up making friends with the other dogs, which honestly made me so happy to see. :) He seemed comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for. Would definitely book with leslie again and highly recommend so for anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.
Paige was a phenomenal boarder for our somewhat introverted French Bulldog, Luna. Luna came back well rested & clean, and based on the pictures, it seemed like she had a blast! Also, Paige was kind enough to accommodate a longer duration & an earlier pickup time - thank you!

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.
