“Jade and her team are great dog-sitters. I had/have no complaints and no worries when my dog is with her. She sent numerous photos and videos which I love because my dog is like the son I don’t have, I care deeply about him and I really do appreciate the level of commitment that was shown in watching him. Jade will 100% be the only person watching my dog again in the future.”

About: I've taking care of dogs my entire live, I was raised with them and now that I have my own place I enjoy their company. I work from home, and I have an Schnauzer (Spock) that is my best friend and company, I take care of him and I have full flexibility for walks spend time with them. I have a fenced backyard, my home is currently baby proof, that also work with dogs and I have plenty of space indoor and outdoor.
“Eileen was the best!! My family and I were visiting the area on a winter vacation and needed someone to watch our puppy since we would be gone the entire day. Eileen was so accommodating, responsive, and just an overall sweet young lady!! She took really good care of our puppy, giving him so much attention and love. We ended up extending our services for an additional day! Benji was well taken care of. We will definitely use her again in the future whenever traveling to this area! Very satisfied 😊”
“Stefan was truly amazing and Banks, our pup, had the best time with him! Stefan was super responsive and flexible with pick-up and drop-off times which we were very thankful for, as it made a challenging time for us that little bit easier. We can’t wait to use Stefan’s services again!”
“Leslie was great! He kept me informed on what my pup was doing throughout the day and with any concerns he had. He was also super flexible with me and my crazy schedule!”
About: I don’t just watch pets but I truly bond with them! I’ve had my own cats for years and have been the trusted dog sitter for my family and friends since college, so I’ve seen it all and loved every minute of it. I’ll make sure to send you plenty of photos so you can see exactly how much fun they're having. My goal is to make sure your furry babies feel safe, happy, and totally spoiled while you’re away! I have flexible in office days. Most of weeks, I go in Tuesday through Thursday and my husband go in Monday through Wednesday. I don’t make plans during the week so will be home all day and flexible on the weekends. I make sure to regularly update my availability to reflect my exact schedule, so you can always count on me being there when I say I will. My husband is also around most of times! Whether it’s a workday or the weekend, your pet will have constant companionship and a steady routine. My priority is keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible to keep them happy and stress free. In my home, your pet becomes part of the family, with plenty of cozy spots for naps, dedicated playtime, and a safe, supervised environment where they can feel right at home. Regardless of the setting, I make sure they get all the exercise, cuddles, and mental stimulation they need, topped off with daily updates to let you know how they’re doing. I live in a spacious 2 bedroom so your pet will have plenty of space to roam around as well. I would love to have a details and instructions as I know every pet is different and I’m very good at following the instructions!
“Euitae was amazing! He took care of Kairo for a couple of hours and he left us energetic and came back tired. We love to see that, and I’m glad Euitae kept up with Kairo’s exercise! Will definitely be using his services in the future :)”

“Anne has watch over my puppy several times a week for the last 8 months or so, she’s taken such good care of him during that time. I received plenty of pics of them having fun and very detailed descriptions of everything that happened during his stay with her. When ever I had a last minute emergency or got held at work late she was extremely accommodating and went above and beyond to help. I really can’t say enough good things about Anne!”
“Chi was the best. I royally screwed up my planning but Chi was flexible and really helped me out. Sent a lot of photos of my pup and looks like she had a great time.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Union City
Sophia and Matias were incredibly sweet, mindful, attentive and dedicated. Over the course of three days, it became clear that they put maximum effort into keeping our pup happy, hydrated and entertained. Their communication skills were A+++, keeping us updated with photos, videos and texts throughout the day. They took our pup for frequent walks, fed her at the requested time and even did an amazing photoshoot with her. This was our first time using Rover for extended day-sitting and we couldn’t be happier that we found someone like Sophia and Matias on the first try. Kiki said she enjoyed the service, and while she would prefer not to be left behind by mom and dad, if it has to happen again, it better be with Sophia and Matias 🫶🐾
Matthew took great care of Frankie and kept us updated all day! He sent lots of pictures and made sure to ask for the details on his routine, which was closely followed. It was clearly important to him that Frankie was comfortable and happy which we so appreciate !
Made a last-minute booking, and Jessica was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She responded to my questions within the day and regularly sent me pictures of my dog. It was nice knowing my dog was doing well while I was away. Overall, she was really nice, caring, and I would definitely recommend her!
Darlene is great! Every time I take my Charlie to see her she walks right in to her place excited to see her. Darlene always send me tons of photos through the day of their walks and snuggles. Charlie has a bit of anxiety, but she’s totally at ease when I drop her off.
i’m so happy to have connected with mary in the neighborhood! she was available for a same-day booking and was incredibly accommodating, meeting me at a convenient spot that made everything so easy. luna seemed comfortable with her right away, and i felt completely at ease knowing she was in great hands. so happy to have found someone nearby i can trust with luna!
Sarah was an incredible sitter. We left our dog with her while we went out for a concert and she was extremely accommodating and flexible. She made herself available earlier, she fed our turbo with chicken and rice because we didn’t have his food on us, so she gave him her own food so he wouldn’t be hungry until late, and she was flexible with the pick up time being late because we were at a concert. She kept us updated with lots of photos, which I love! 10/10 sitter, would definitely recommend and leave my dog with her again.
Great host for my Wooli! I highly recommend, she sends updates with videos and pics, understood all directions for wooli since he is deaf. It was a last minute booking and took him in so im very appreciative of that. I'm from California and recommend anyone from out of state to consider Pamela to host your pet 🙂.
Zinnia took amazing care of our dog Stella during her daycare stay. She took care of everything Stella needed, took her on a really nice and long walk, and sent us a lot of great pictures during the stay. Zinnia also was very communicative and made pick up and drop off very easy. We’d definitely ask her to look after Stella again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Union City on Rover is $36.63 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Union City commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 11,402 sitters in Union City, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
