About: Hi there! My name is Anna and I’m a Hoboken-based dog lover who would be happy to dog-sit or take your pup for a walk. My main hands-on experience is with Ranger, my family’s 5-year old Belgian Shepherd (you can see him in my profile pic - he’s a cutie!). I’ve cared for and dog-sat many times over the years. Spending time with a large, energetic dog has made me comfortable with everything from long walks and playtime to feeding, routines, and simply keeping him happy and company while his pawrents are away. I also grew up pet sitting for neighbors and friends with both dogs (including a pup with special needs) and cats, so caring for other people’s pets has been part of my life for a long time. I have a very flexible WFH weekday schedule, which means I can give your pet plenty of time, attention, and care without rushing between other commitments. I’m available for daytime walks, drop-ins, and regular recurring schedules, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests or schedule changes. Your pet’s routine, personality, and comfort will always come first. Whether they love long walks and lots of playtime or prefer a slower pace and a little extra reassurance, their care will be tailored to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. You can expect your instructions to be followed closely, your home to be treated with care, and your pet to get plenty of attention while you’re away. You’ll also receive photos and updates along the way, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Took excellent care of our 2 fur babies over the holiday weekend and for a 10 day trip and I felt so at ease. She never complained even though we have a dog with IVDD who requires special care. My dogs can be stubborn but clearly were cared for with love while I was away.”
“Casey is INCREDIBLE. She is so kind and sweet while truly going the extra mile. We felt so comfortable having her with our cats for the weekend and look forward to having her take care of them again soon. Thank you Casey, you are amazing!”
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs but with my career I never adopted one of my own! Getting to care for other's pups is so a great honor and joy. I have watched over a 100 pound golden retriever to a 6 pound chihuahua! I truly love dogs and would love to meet yours! I typically work 2-3 days a week so I have a lot of free time that I'd love to use to meet and love on your pup! I have the world's friendliest cat living at my home if your pup spends the night with me and get at least 15,000 steps every day so would love to take your baby for a walk! I have experience with most different leash types but am a quick learner if you need something I haven't seen before.
“Katherine is incredibly attentive, responsive, and an overall total pleasure to work with. Cannot recommend her, and her immaculate services more! (First time Rover user - made it incredibly easy leaving my lil guy knowing she was taking care of him)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 7. I’ve grown up around lots of pets, and taking care of them is my hobby! I’m the kind of person that would rather stay in with my dog and cat over going out. :) I’ve dealt with all types of animals, from sweet angels to misunderstood ones with different behavioral needs. Whatever your pet needs, I’m able to accommodate it. I work part time and am home most of the day! I’m very available as my work schedule is flexible; I mostly do online work and spend time with my dog and cat! I have an unfenced yard and live very close to a park. I also have a very friendly dog named Piper. She comes on walks but also doesn’t need to. She isn’t interested in other dogs and is submissive.
“John was great with my new puppy! He comes twice a day for a check-in/walk and was very quick and easy to communicate with. Met with John before the initial visit and felt very comfortable with him. Will definitely be using John in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m Rita — a lifelong animal lover with a heart for pups and a head for details. I treat every dog like family, blending genuine affection with a calm, reliable presence that pets (and their humans!) can count on. Whether it’s belly rubs, long walks, or sticking to a strict medication schedule, I bring both warmth and responsibility to every visit. One of my proudest experiences was fostering Leland, a sweet pittie love bug, for nearly a year. Helping him grow in confidence and eventually find his forever home was a beautiful reminder of how much love and trust dogs give when they feel safe and cared for. That’s the kind of connection I strive to build with every pup I meet. With me, your dog gets more than a sitter — they get a new best friend. Pet care is my passion and priority—I'm available for evening walks all week, plus overnight stays and weekend boarding to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. I offer a cozy, yard-free home with indoor play, enrichment, and leashed walks. I am able to host one dog under 50lbs and two dogs under 30lbs.
About: I've been taking care of pets since the time I could walk. My own dogs are two small white ones (4 and 6), but I have extensive experience with pets of all sizes and ages. Neighbors and colleagues have trusted me with their daschunds, terriers, pitbulls, malteses, bichons, dalmations, basset hounds, and spaniels too. I raised two litters of puppies to adoption and saw a very old dog through her roughest days. I can care for other animals too. I kept a veritable menagerie – two cockatiels, two rabbits, a guinea pig, and a bichon – happy and healthy for a full two months while the family was traveling. I work remotely and I live right on the end of the path train line which means I can get anywhere in the city on a moment’s notice. Thus, I have the time and ability to give your fur-babies with the consistency and love that they deserve. At this time, I can’t bring more animals into my apartment but I can walk, feed, snuggle, play with and entertain your pets from the comfort of their own home.
“Ronald was great! I had a 3 day trip out of town and came back to a happy and healthy pup. Was my 2nd time having Ronald and his wife watch Hilton and they were very good at making sure he was taken care of.”
“Catherine took great care of our dog Christopher. She was very communicative, sending lots of pictures and updates and he loved having her around. I would definitely recommend Catherine and will be using her again.”
“Delaney watched our cat a few times while we were out of town and took the time to play with her and give her attention. Delaney is a great pet-sitter given she is also a cat-owner so we would absolutely use her again if available. Delaney followed our instructions to the “tee” and our cat loved her for it!”
“Michelle was amazing - she took care of our cat for a long weekend and we were so happy with her care of Ella. She was patient and thoughtful with our typically shy cat and Ella very quickly warmed up to her! Everything was clean when we came home and Michelle sent us detailed updates daily with pictures of their playtime - would definitely book her again!!”

Jose was great, would definitely book again! He was responsive, caring, and communicative, sending pictures and videos during every visit with our cat. This was only our second time booking through Rover, so I expected our skittish cat to hide, but he warmed up to Jose super quickly! Jose also took the time for a meet and greet when I first reached out, which really put me at ease. He even let us know right away about a random throw up and offered to clean it up (I told him to just leave it lol). Thank you so much, Jose!!
Sana was amazing! Our kitten was hungry and alone at home because our dry food dispenser broke down while we were out of town. We reached out to Sana, and she came over right away and took perfect care of our cat. We were so relieved, and our kitten also had a great time playing with Sana. Thanks again!
Stella was great with our two cats! She kept us updated throughout our trip and sent us photos, which we really appreciated. We could tell our cats were so much happier and more comfortable being able to stay in their own home rather than having to stay somewhere else. The home visits were perfect for them, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for. We would definitely recommend Stella!
Elizabeth was fantastic with our new cats! She took great care of them, showed them lots of love, and they most definitely enjoyed having her visit them while we were away. It was so helpful to see lots of photos since it was our first time leaving them at home. All of us would be glad to have her back!
Deanna went above and beyond taking care of our cat Mr P! She made sure he was fed, thirst quenched, and just the right amount of attention given to in order to make him a happy camper while we were out of town for a week. You never want to leave your furry friend behind when possible, but if we do again would highly recommend/consider booking again!
Dona is great! Our cat liked her from the moment they met and was always calm and relaxed after her visits, which made us feel much more comfortable while we were away. Since Dona has a cat herself, she clearly knows cats well and understands their behavior. We also had to make a few changes to our schedule during the trip, and Dona was very flexible and did her best to adjust and come when we needed. We’re really happy we found her and would definitely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Hoboken on Rover is $26.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 12,784 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hoboken. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 cat, 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, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hoboken. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
