“Kristen was extremely communicative and flexible, especially when we needed to rebook our trip last minute. She took wonderful care of our cat with care and attention to detail, making sure he got the play time and affection he needed. Would highly recommend to any anxious cat parent!”
“Ava is amazing! This our second time having her sit Peach and she did a great job sending us photos and updates. She is very caring and follows all instructions we leave. Highly recommend!”
“This is our second booking with Katherine she’s always so wonderful with my senior cat and he’s very shy with most people. She’s also super responsive and detailed. I never worry when I know she’ll be around!”
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!
“Yisha was very thorough and attentive. She was great with our two cats and even got our shy cat to come out! Will definitely reach out to her to catsit again in the future!”
About: I had a dog for 8 years and a cat for 16. I miss them both. Happy to help provide pet care to your dog or cat while you are away. I work part-time and remotely, so I'm able to be flexible with my time and I can handle last minute requests. Because I'm home all day this also works for daylong sits. I live in Hoboken and do not have a car so I am not available for Jersey City walks. The time it takes me to get there makes the money not worth it. I'm happy to follow the schedule you have set for you pet, as well as any special care they may need (although I'm not good with needles!). My apt is about 750 sq feet and up three flights of stairs.
“Gabriella was an amazing cat sitter! She was very attentive and loving to our cats. She even communicated with us every visit with some pictures and a quick status on them. We can't wait to have her over again and care for our little guys!”
“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 !”
“Alexandra is great! She’s very prompt and truly cares for our pets. She’s easy to get in contact with and we’ll be working with her regularly. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
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.
“I highly recommend Gulhan to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter! She is wonderful with dogs, very attentive, patient, and genuinely loves animals. She makes sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I would absolutely trust her with my dog and recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and trustworthy!”
“Sophia was so great!! I reached out last minute and she was so accommodating and even FaceTimed me so I could show her where everything was for the check-in. Would absolutely use her again!!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life, including some reptiles! I currently take care of two cats and a sweet ball python. I’m great with cats and dogs, and I’m able to correctly give medicine and cut their nails if needed. I know how pets can be the most important part of our lives, and it’s our duty to love them and provide them the best service. I’m doing part time currently, so I’m available Wednesday and Thursday and Saturday and Sunday. I’m mostly available all day during that schedule for any activities! I live in an apartment with my two cats who if needed can be put in a separate room. I always like to sweep and vacuum all areas to avoid due to accumulate, I always like to give them treats an hour before meals, as well as clean their water and food bowls once a day
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and sizes. I grew up with three dogs, all of whom my family raised from puppies, so I’m very comfortable with everything that comes with puppy care, from lots of energy and playtime to walks, routines, and plenty of patience! I also regularly care for my cousin’s Bernedoodle puppy and have lots of experience pet sitting cats of all ages. I have a cat of my own, so I completely understand that every cat has their own personality and comfort level. I’m happy to give them all the attention and cuddles they want, or give them their space when they need it. If your dog is currently in the training phase, I have experience with that too! I know how important consistency is, and I’m more than happy to follow and reinforce any training instructions, commands, routines, or boundaries you’re already working on at home. I’ll always follow your lead so your pet’s routine stays as consistent as possible while they’re in my care. Beyond dogs and cats, I grew up caring for birds, hamsters, and rabbits, so I’m comfortable around all kinds of pets. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet I care for like they’re my own. My goal is always to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and happy while you’re away! I currently work remote with a flexible schedule. I love going on walks and am happy to include your animal on my strolls or stop by to check on your furry friend. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I know every pet has their own routine, personality, and boundaries, so I’ll make sure to follow any instructions you provide closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, training commands, medications, and any special needs or house rules. I’m very attentive to changes in behavior and will always make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure before heading outside or leaving your home. For cats, I’m especially careful around exterior doors and will make sure they stay safely inside, even if you have a little escape artist! I also believe communication is a huge part of trusting someone with your pet. You can expect regular updates, pictures, and check ins so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I’ll treat your home with respect and your pet with the same care and attention I would want someone to give my own.
“Cannot say enough how amazing and helpful Rachel is and how happy I am with how she took care of my kittens and home. Will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Hoboken
She is great, it was our first time leaving our cat with someone from Rover, but Francesca made everything super easy. She shared plenty of photos during every visit, and made sure our cat was cared for and loved. We won’t hesitate to contact her again in the future.
Katie was great! She sent plenty of photos and detailed updates after each visit, which gave us peace of mind knowing our cat was well cared for while we were away. She handled everything like a pro, and we felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. Would definitely book with her again!
We have used Sam a few times now, and he has been excellent in terms of communication, care, and timeliness. At one point our cameras had gone offline, and Sam worked to fix them and succeeded. He goes above and beyond and best of all he took great care of our kitties.
We had Kelly petsit our cat for a week and a half in 2 hour increments and she was super communicative and flexible in her approach and care. From our initial meet and greet it was clear that she has been around cats and understands how to properly engage with them. We came home to a happy and healthy cat so we couldn’t ask for much more
Xinyu was absolutely wonderful with Mocha! She was super responsive from the very first message and incredibly diligent throughout. She checked in every single day and took time to actually play with Mocha, not just feed her. The daily photos and videos were the highlight of my trip and gave me total peace of mind. Mocha was relaxed and happy when I got home, which says everything. I'd book Xinyu again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to any cat parent!
Sana is amazing! We were out for 3 days and booked Sana to look after our cat and a newly adopted kitten. She is extremely diligent and communicative, and paid great attention to each cat. We are so at ease knowing our babies are being taken great care of! Will definitely rebook.
Deanna was amazing! She’s super sweet and patient with our cat and gave him so much love and attention. She took such good care of him while we were away, and we could tell he really liked her! We’re so happy we found her and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Hoboken is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,633 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

- 82% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
