“Adam was great! It was the first time we were away from our puppy over night and we were very nervous. He took great care of her and sent us videos everyday! Will definitely use him again:)”
“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!”
“Eileen was great! She was able to take my reservation for a last minute vacation. She made sure to send me constant updates of my baby. She was attentive and extremely kind. I would definitely recommend!”
“I cannot recommend Chi-wing highly enough for the exceptional care they provided to my dog, Stewie, during the two weeks my family and I were out of the country. This was the first time we left Stewie with a stranger, and we were naturally anxious, especially since Stewie is blind due to cataracts and requires special care. We weren’t sure how he would react to a new environment and being around other dogs, but Chi made the transition seamless. Stewie has multiple medical needs, including daily medications for Cushing’s disease and congestive heart failure, as well as insulin injections for his diabetes. Chi-wing and his girlfriend handled everything with exceptional professionalism and care, ensuring he got his treatments on time and with great patience. Even when Stewie was hesitant to eat on the first night, they worked patiently with him until he felt comfortable and settled in. What truly stood out was their constant communication—they provided us with daily updates, pictures, and videos of Stewie interacting with other dogs and enjoying his day. It was such a relief to see him happy and comfortable, even in a completely new environment.”
“My dachshund Aleph had a great time with Ayush and I suspect he didn’t want to come back home, so well was he taken care of! Ayush went above and beyond to make him feel at home and I was at ease during my vacation that he was in such great hands!”
“Sherry and Walter are just amazing ! They took really good care of our Luna , sending us pictures and updates on a daily basis Sherry’s pictures are professional level We would use them as our cat sitters in a heartbeat Thank you again”
“Christa & her husband were amazing with my pup. They were so thoughtful & kept me updated to ease my mind, since my pup can be timid. I highly recommend them. They’re amazing & I will be booking them again.”
“Rochelle was wonderful for my kitty Zeno. He seemed sad to leave ?. She sent photos and gave him his daily vitamins, and even bought new food for him when he started turning down his own food. The environment seemed calm and quiet for my very timid old cat. She cleaned out his litter and food dish and packed up his things when it was time to go. I would definitely trust her with my kitty again!”
“Stefan and his family were great with Kobe for the long weekend. Lots of communication and photos before and throughout the stay. Kobe obviously got lots of attention, and came home very happy. Will definitely be our first choice in the future. Many thanks.”
“Bridget is an excellent dog sitter. Our pyredoodle is a bundle of separation anxiety, for us and him. Bridget sent frequent updates and pictures showing how well he was doing and allaying our concerns. Highly recommended.”
“We left Phoebe with Angela for a short stint, and felt very comfortable. Angela is in a doorman building, her apartment is spotless, and she was on top of her duties the entire time. She sent us photo after photo showing Phoebe enjoying herself. When I picked her up, Phoebe dug in her heels and didn't want to leave. We will definitely repeat.”
“Meiqi is great! Very communicative and shares updates throughout the day. It gives me a peace of mind knowing that my pup is safe and having fun every time she’s there.”
“Emily and Daniel were the best! They made the entire experience super easy, and my dog loved staying with them. They were so kind and on top of communicating. I'd highly recommend using them for future sits!”
“Alyssa is fabulous. She was very quick to respond throughout the booking process and during our pup's stay with her. Our dog was with her a full week and we received photos and short updates every morning. We could tell that our pup was happy and getting walks, playtime, and lots of belly rubs. I appreciated Alyssa's willingness to meet in person briefly, ahead of having her watch our dog. She's great--I hope to rebook with her again!”
“Lorraine went above and beyond for us when we needed someone for Kiwi last minute. Responded super fast and made Kiwi feel comfortable and relaxed. We truly appreciate all your help and will be reaching out again in the future!”
“Ashley was so amazing - she went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were cared for (especially when my little pup was having stomach issues unexpectedly). Nothing phased her and she was super communicative along the way. Can’t recommend her enough. Trust her 100%!”
“Kecia is an incredible dog-sitter! She is highly dependable and friendly. I appreciate how she makes sure to keep me updated on how my dog is doing Highly recommend!”
“10/10 would leave our pup with Pooja again! She is very experienced with dog sitting, and it was clear our dog had a great time. Pooja was easy to communicate with throughout our time away, regularly providing us photo/video updates. Thank you Pooja!”
“Melanie was an absolute pleasure to work with. It was clear she cared for Archie as if she were her own. She kept me updated throughout her stay and proactively sent lots of photos (which I loved!), so I never had to wonder how she was doing. It was also obvious that Archie truly enjoyed staying with her. I highly recommend Melanie — and I know Archie gives her two paws up!”

Ivette and Gonzalo took great care of my 12 year old Shih-Tzu, Sparky. They were very open in communicating with me during the length of Sparky's stay with them and sent me loads of images of him which was very comforting. They were exetremely considerate and watched him for an extra week at late notice. Highly reccommend them to anyone needing some boarding for their loved pets. Thanks guys!!
We’ve used Lucas a couple of times now for overnight boarding and most recently for a long stay of 10 nights. Archie comes back happy, well cared for, and tired. He loves being boarded with other dogs too. Lucas is reasonably flexible with pick up and drop offs which is super helpful! He always sends updates when we ask. It can be hard to find someone that will take on a big dog in Hoboken and were very glad we found Lucas.
Leila was so communicative both before and throughout Penny’s stay. She checked in beforehand to best understand Penny’s needs as a 15yo senior and how she got along with other dogs before even booking. I was updated with photos and check-ins throughout her stay. I would recommend Leila highly!
Shirley took good care of our pup Rooster and would definitely book with her again! She was able to accommodate a meet & greet on short notice and asked great questions to get to know our pup. During the stay, she provided updates and pictures which was great. She is kind and easy to work with. Most of all you can tell she really loves animals and takes the time understand & respect their personalities. Thank you so much, Shirley!
Amanda was amazing with my doggie Simba! She was able to accommodate a last minute request which we appreciate so much! Simba had lots of cuddles, fun, and walks! Amanda provided many updates and adorable pictures, providing peace of mind. We will definitely be re-booking in the future!
We had a great experience! This was Baker and Emmett’s first time staying with Samantha, and she made us feel very comfortable leaving them in her care. She even sent us a picture after their first night, which we really appreciated. Our train was delayed on the way home and we ended up being about an hour late for pickup, and she was incredibly understanding and flexible with us. Baker and Emmett were well taken care of, and we would definitely book with Samantha again!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Union City on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 14,526 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Union City. About 88% of Union City sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
