“This was my first time using Rover to find a place to board my dog, and it was a really positive experience. She was well cared for and got regular walks. I received updates and pictures throughout her stay, which gave me peace of mind. Communication was easy, and I’d happily book with this couple again.”
“Sabrina is incredible and took special care of my dog. She keeps in constant contact with photos and videos. This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely book with Sabrina again. 10/10 fully recommend her!”
“I have a sweet but anxious girl and she was very happy staying with Janise- I could tell by the videos she keep me updated with that she was happy and trusted her - I would highly recommend her and would rebook again!”
“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.”
“John was the perfect choice to watch my sweet Barney while I was on a vacation. He is a true dog lover and treated Barney as his own. I will definitely be leaving my pup in his care when i travel in the future. So Thankful to have found John!”
“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.”

“Anne was great. After the test night, Lola was super comfortable with her. When I dropped Lola off for her stay she walked off with Anne like they were old friends. Anne sent pictures and updates daily and was super flexible on pickup when our flight was delayed 5 hours. Overall, it was a great experience for my first time using Rover.”
“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! (:”
“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.”

“Annett is a fantastic sitter! She took great care of my 4-month-old puppy and kept us updated with frequent photos and messages which gave us peace of mind. Annett was very attentive and patient with our puppy who was going through a picky eating stage and took the time to hand feed her. Highly recommend her and would definitely book again!”

“Anton was very kind and accommodating of my anxious dog. It was the very first boarding experience for my dog, Reiki, and he was very nervous when we arrived at Anton's place. I was worried that he would stay restless, but I was totally wrong! Anton sent me photos and updates, which made me feel safe asking more of his service again. Reiki was able to calm down within hours under his care, and very much enjoyed spending time with him 😄.”
“Tiffany is so wonderful. She was so kind and sent us updates about our dog. We just moved to NYC and our dog has separation anxiety. She is the perfect companion for our pup Leche when we have to be away from home for long periods of time. So glad we found Tiffany.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Union City
This was my first time using Rover pet boarding services. I was nervous at first because our one year old golden doodle is going through a bad chewing phase. However, our pet boarder extraordinaire, Tiffany, calmed my nerves. She gave us daily updates and took good care of our dog. I will definitely use her services again.
Caren was amazing! She treated my dog Meadow like her own, and Meadow absolutely loves her. She was on time for our meet-and-greet, pickup, and drop-off, and was great with communication throughout. She’s also been incredibly flexible and available, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Caren to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!
Jessica was absolutely fabulous. She took amazing care of our 10 year old mini poodle Copper. Constant walks and play time with great photo updates. He wasn't left alone for extended periods of time. We couldn't have asked for a more pleasant experience. We will definitely be using Jessica again and again.
Kelly and Frank were amazing! They took care of our 7-month old, high-energy puppy for an extended stay of 2.5 weeks, and we had complete peace of mind that she was in great hands. They sent up an update and photo pretty much every day and they were always quick to respond about any questions we had. Our puppy seemed to have a great time with both Kelly and Frank and their dog, and I'd absolutely book them again.
Yuan was great with our Willow. She is a great communicator and very easy to get along with. We booked with Yuan a bit last-minute as prior plans fell thru but she was very accommodating, especially as our drop-off was a bit hectic due to a storm hitting Hoboken. We highly suggest and would book with her again!

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.
