“Ivette and Gonzalo were able to accept my next day request and were very friendly and accommodating with my commuting delays. They sent several photos throughout the day, which I always love to receive. Ivette made sure to tell me that Finn had refused to eat all day which I really appreciated so I know to expect that in future sittings and I knew to feed him extra for dinner. Definitely plan on booking with them again!”

Throughout Peanut’s stay, she showed the utmost attention to detail and gave him so much care and love. She also sent frequent photo and video updates, which truly put our minds at ease knowing he was in great hands. Peanut had a wonderful day with her, and we can’t thank her enough for the peace of mind and the exceptional care she provided! 💛🐾”

“I would definitely recommend Leslie to anyone looking for a dog sitter. I am very particular with whom I leave my dog with and I was very happy with Leslie’s services. He was very accommodating regarding the drop off/pick up times. He sent me many pictures throughout the day of my Lizzy. By his constant communication with me, I knew that Lizzy was in good hands. The best part was that Lizzy was exhausted after her day with Leslie. She only gets like that when she has a good, active day. I am definitely planning on using Leslie again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Union City
Jackie makes it clear from the very beginning that she understands how much trust it takes to hand over your new puppy. She immediately puts you at ease, taking the time to ensure you're comfortable and showing genuine thoughtfulness in meeting every one of your dog's needs. Jalen was still a young puppy adjusting to a new environment, yet he warmed up to Jackie almost instantaneously. Knowing he was in such caring, capable hands gave me complete confidence and peace of mind.
Our Bear really enjoyed his stay with Audrey and her dog! He sprinted away from us to go play with his new friends on his second day. Audrey was very flexible with adjusting pick up and drop off times too. She also provided picture updates and was very attentive. Highly recommend!
We had the most wonderful experience over these two days in New York with Rikki! Surf absolutely loved his time with you, and for us that says everything. The biggest sign was on the second day—when it was time to leave, Surf looked back at you and clearly didn’t want to go. ❤️ Thank you so much for taking such great care of him, for the fun walks, the love, and the attention you gave him. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was happy and comfortable while we explored the city. We highly recommend Rikki to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and wonderful dog sitter. We would absolutely book with you again!
Viviane was the absolute sweetest with our little guy! She send us so many cute pictures and updates through the day and made sure Barry was comfortable and cozy. She also gave him plenty of love and attention and let him explore freely the apartment and pick all the good spots to nap. You can feel how much she loves dogs - since the first minute, our dored her! Barry can't wait to spend another day with her - thank you V!

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Union City on Rover is $36.75 per day (as of July 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 11,448 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.
