Cat Boarding in Jersey City
Your cat stays at a local sitter's home
Some cats manage a few days alone with an automatic feeder. Many don't, especially older cats or cats on medication. In Jersey City, Petme sitters in neighborhoods like The Heights and Journal Square take cats into their own homes overnight, so someone is there in the morning, at dinner, and when the cat wants company.
Pricing is simple. Jersey City sitters charge $50 to $110 a night, owners pay no Petme fee, and the Protection Plan can contribute up to $22,000 toward eligible vet costs during the stay. For a full look at what boarding costs compared with catteries and vet boarding, see the cat boarding cost guide.

FAQ
Common questions about cat boarding in Jersey City
How much is overnight cat boarding?
In Jersey City, an overnight stay with a Petme sitter usually costs $50 to $110 a night. Each sitter sets their own rate and Petme adds no owner fee, so the nightly price you agree is what you pay. The Protection Plan, which can contribute up to $22,000 toward eligible vet costs, is included.
How much does cat boarding cost per day?
Sitters price boarding per night, and one night covers the full day your cat spends at their home. In Jersey City that works out to about $50 to $110 per day. Check what each sitter's rate includes before you book.
Is it better to board a cat or leave it at home?
It depends on the cat. Many cats cope best on their own turf, and for them a drop-in visit or a sitter staying at your place is the easier option. Boarding suits cats that get lonely, need medication on a schedule, or settle quickly in a new room. If your cat hides for days after a move, keep them home. If they like company, a quiet sitter's home in Jersey City can work well.
In-home cat boarding vs a cattery?
A cattery keeps many cats in pens or condos, with staff working shifts. In-home boarding means your cat stays in one sitter's home, usually with few or no other cats, and the same person feeds them and sends you updates. A cattery suits owners who want a fixed facility. A home stay suits cats that do better with quiet and one familiar person.
How much does it cost to board a cat for a week?
Seven nights at Jersey City rates of $50 to $110 a night comes to about $350 to $770. Each sitter sets their own price for longer stays, so confirm the total with them before you book.
