(Your go-to sitters)
Dog sittingin Jersey City
The sitters who built a home for it.
…like family,
because they are.
Allforthewag started the way every great dog sitter in Jersey City does — watching friends' and neighbors' pups, one at a time. A decade on, that sitting service grew into two Jersey City homes with a third on the way. The care is still a sitter's care; the home just got bigger.
One thing to know: we don't sit in your home. Your pup stays with us — days at either Jersey City location, overnights at our Bergen-Lafayette home on Communipaw Ave — with weekday pickup & dropoff from Jersey City, Hoboken and Bayonne.
(01) — Sitter care, real facilities
Better than a borrowed couch
Your dog's rules
Feeding notes, meds, bedtime, crate or free range — we follow your routines exactly, like a sitter who's known your dog for years.
A pack, not a lonely couch
Instead of one stranger's apartment, your pup joins a small pack matched by size, energy and temperament — with people on hand all day.
Photos all day
You'll watch them play, lounge and cuddle from wherever your trip takes you. No wondering how it's going.
(02) — Where they stay
A real home, not an app
Calm, climate-controlled and staffed by people who've done this for 10+ years. Pack their bed, their food and a piece of home — they'll settle right in.

”truly an amazing caregiver”
Briant and his wife is truly an amazing caregiver. They love Pablo (dog) and it shows, often taking photos and sharing, easy communication. They took care of him and he truly enjoys them...several times, including an extended stay. They're my go to sitters.
(04) — Sitting questions
Good to know
Do you sit dogs in my home?
No — we're not an in-home sitting service. Your pup stays with us: overnight sleepovers happen at our Bergen-Lafayette home at 333 Communipaw Ave in Jersey City, in a small curated pack with people around all day.
How is a sleepover different from hiring a dog sitter?
A sitter is one person checking in on your dog alone. At Allforthewag your dog spends the stay in a staffed home with a matched pack of friends, your rules followed exactly, and photos sent all day — the care of a sitter with the safety and company of a pack.
How much does dog sitting cost in Jersey City?
Our overnight stays are $74.99 for a full 24 hours, dropping to $64.99 per day for trips of 6+ days and $59.99 per day for 13+ days. Daytime-only care (playcare) is $49.99 for up to 10 hours.
Can you watch my dog while I'm at work?
That's exactly what playcare is — a full-day stay of up to 10 hours for $49.99, or a half day up to 5 hours for $29.99, with weekday pickup & dropoff across Jersey City, Hoboken and Bayonne.
