Pet Boarding in New Jersey

Pet boarding in New Jersey benefits from one of the most densely populated states in the country and its proximity to New York City and Philadelphia. Newark, Jersey City, Trenton, Camden, Atlantic City, and hundreds of suburban communities throughout Bergen, Morris, Essex, Monmouth, and Burlington Counties represent some of the richest boarding markets on the East Coast.

New Jersey requires commercial boarding kennels to hold a state license through the New Jersey Department of Health, providing a meaningful regulatory framework. The state has a humid subtropical to humid continental climate with hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters. The Jersey Shore creates high seasonal boarding demand around Atlantic City, Asbury Park, Cape May, and Long Beach Island each summer.

Required vaccinations include Rabies (required by state law), DHPP, and Bordetella. The wealthy commuter suburbs of Bergen, Essex, and Morris Counties have a particularly high concentration of premium boarding facilities. Many NYC residents cross the Hudson for more spacious and affordable New Jersey boarding options.
