About: I've lived with both cats and dogs my entire life. I was usually the first person home at the end of the day, so I was always the one feeding and walking the animals and I have always watched over my neighbors pets when they were away grom home. I'm currently a full-time student and a part time worker, but I have open time in my schedule early morning and in the evening and at night. I also have open time from 2pm-3pm on Mondays, 10am-11am on Wednesdays, and 10am-1pm on Fridays. And my weekends are often flexible except for certain events that will be informed ahead of time. When visiting a clients home I will make sure to fully respect your space and environment. I will make sure to keep to your pets schedule as best as I can and give them as much love and playtime as they need. I have lived with both hyper active and very passive animals, so I can give your pets the attention they need to thrive!
“We had the best experience with Romana and fully trusted that Matcha was in good hands while we were away for the long holiday weekend. She was always on time for her check ins and gave thorough updates - really went above and beyond to communicate with us. We will definitely rebook her the next time we need a sitter!”
“Aniko was great with the cats! The girls loved her and she was very communicative, easy to work with, and sent lots of photos :) would definitely book again and recommend!”
“Laura was very thorough with important questions for me regarding Frazier. She sent pictures and communicated via text messages. Frazier had fun with new toys and a cat tree, hanging out and relaxing in one of its resting spots! Laura was very interested in Frazier’s well being and when I arrived to pick him up she provided me with a few pointers for future boarding vs. drop in visits to my home. I really appreciated her thoughtfulness and insight. Thank you, Laura !”
About: I grew up caring for many different breeds of dogs & cats my entire life. I always love being around pets of all kinds but since I have been moving a lot these last few years, it isn’t the right time for me to have one of my own just yet. However, I love being around them & when I am, I pay close attention to what they want & need which makes for a happy pet! I currently work from home & enjoy going for walks throughout the day so I’m looking to stop in and visit with your pets while on my lunch break & periodically throughout the day. I will be very careful & respectful in your home since that is your space. I can provide care most times of the day at your home or neighborhood to ensure your pet stays happy & healthy while you’re away.
“Christina is the best petsitter you could truly ask for! She was so patient and loving with our timid cat while we were away. She tried all the tricks to get our cat out of hiding and her perseverance paid off! They Winnie finally emerged and they bonded! Christina goes above and beyond in her communication, rover cards and care of Winnie and home. I'm so grateful to have found such a trustworthy, warm, humorous and thorough care giver for our kitty. I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you so much, Christina!! You're the BEST!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Ruth! My husband and I went away on a long vacation, and knowing that Duchess and Gordo were in her hands gave us so much peace of mind. From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable and reassured. She was always punctual, and after every visit she sent us the sweetest pictures and detailed updates about how our babies were doing. It honestly made our day to see them happy and relaxed while we were so far away. She spent time playing with them, giving them attention, and keeping them company, and we could tell that she genuinely cared about them. Coming home to two happy, well-cared-for cats meant so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful to Ruth for taking such wonderful care of Duchess and Gordo, and we would absolutely trust her with them again. We highly, highly recommend her! ❤️”
“Alexandra was great with Munchkin! They played all sorts of games: brain teasers, lasers and feather wands. She also sent many updates along with pictures annd videos each day! :)”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have years of personal experience caring for pets, especially cats. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I’m reliable, patient, attentive, and happy to help with feeding, playtime, walks, litter box care, and plenty of affection. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m currently in the office in the city on Mondays and Wednesdays, but I have greater flexibility on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends. I’m happy to accommodate feeding, playtime, litter box care, and drop-in visits around each cat’s normal routine. I know cats thrive on consistency, so I’ll always follow your care instructions closely and make sure your cat gets plenty of attention and feels comfortable while you’re away. I treat every cat and home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, litter care, playtime, and routines, while respecting each cat’s personality and boundaries. I always make sure doors and windows are secure and keep their space clean and comfortable. I’ll also provide regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your cat is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: Hi! I'm Steve, a Hoboken resident for fifteen years. While I'm new to Rover, I bring many years of experience caring for my own pets and those of friends, family and neighbors. I understand that entrusting your dog or cat to someone is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and needs so they feel safe, comfortable and happy in my care. My love of animals started early. Growing up, my family had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, chameleons, iguanas, and more. As a teenager, I worked at the Delmar Animal Hospital near Albany, NY, assisting veterinarians and helping care for boarded and recovering animals. Over the years, I've also rescued five cats and cared for pets of all ages, including administering certain medications when needed. These experiences taught me patience, compassion and respect for every animal. Professionally, I'm a photographer and filmmaker. The qualities that have helped me succeed in that field - reliability, empathy, attention to detail, and clear communication - are the same ones I bring to pet care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and will care for your pet as if they were my own. As a freelance photographer and filmmaker, I enjoy a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate many pet-care needs, including weekends and holidays. Whenever possible, I'll do my best to work with your schedule. For those interested in learning a little more about me: Wedding Photography: churchill-downes-........ Commercial & Editorial Photography: ........ I am a caring, attentive, and responsible animal lover. When walking your dog, I stay aware of our surroundings, including other dogs, traffic, pedestrians, and anything on the ground that might tempt them to investigate or eat. I always follow each owner's preferences for interactions with other dogs, but I generally err on the side of caution and avoid unnecessary encounters whenever possible. Your dog's safety and well-being are my top priorities.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Hoboken
Amy is incredibly responsible and genuinely loves cats. She takes great care of my cat and pays attention to every little detail, making sure my cat is happy and comfortable. My cat loves her too, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter!
Sophia was wonderful with Leo! Wonderful communicator and she sent me so many pictures. He looked like he was having the absolute best time with her. The little mouse she brought him was so thoughtful—he loved it, and they played fetch together. I felt so happy seeing how much fun he was having and so grateful he was getting so much love. I’d love to have Sophia care for him again!
This was my first time using the Rover app and I got so lucky with Lauren. From the beginning, she was extremely responsive and once we met, I felt comfortable with her taking care of yuzu while we were away for an extended period. I could tell that Lauren played with Yuzu so well and took such good care of her, making sure Yuzu knew she wasn’t alone! She also uploaded very detailed reports of every visit with tons of pictures that I loved receiving as updates. I had peace of mind knowing Yuzu was in good hands while we were gone. Highly recommend Lauren!!
Sunya was incredible with our cats! She is genuine, kind, and a true cat person—even our shyest cat immediately warmed up and came out for snuggles. She was communicative, flexible with timing, and sent wonderful updates throughout the visits. We felt completely at ease knowing the cats were in such sweet and capable hands. Highly recommend! Six stars!!
Francesca was amazing! Both of my cats warmed up to her almost immediately, even my more timid boy, who is usually quite wary of strangers. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and is passionate about what she does. I felt completely comfortable knowing my boys were in such caring hands. I would absolutely book Francesca again and highly recommend her!
Kyle is a reliable and consistent sitter for our cat, Ollie. Ollie has been battling a skin irritation and Kyle did a great job applying medication topically and ensuring our kookie guy didn’t get out of his cone. Not an easy task and did so with good communication and understanding. We highly recommend Kyle!
Yuxin did such a fantastic job taking care of our gato while we were away! She was professional, kind, and thoughtful, and kept us updated with tons of pictures and videos, which we absolutely loved. Our little girl was clearly happy and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!
Anna was fantastic. This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous, but she gave my social, clingy cat all of the attention he needed. Anna sent photos each day and also coordinated a minor mishap with my building’s spare key. She is super thoughtful and communicative - much appreciated by myself and Pippin!

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.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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.
