About: Calvin and I are both Dog lover since we were little. Calvin owned two dogs in my life; One mud and one schnauzer. I owned chihuahua mini teacup. However, we love doggie of any kind! Calvin owns his own business and WFH. I mostly WFH too. Therefore, we can ensure someone is home most of the time we have a guest. We have plenty of time/space to walk and play with dogs at home. We can spend time outdoors walking/running/hiking or indoors playing depending on your preference. We only take on one client at a time to maximize individual attention. No children or animals at home. Non smoking environment.
“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!!”
“Rebecca was the perfect sitter for our two fur babies. Always on time and provided pictures. I would recommend her to anyone needing an amazing pet sitter. We will definitely be booking her again!!!!!”
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.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was old enough to ride a bike. Friends, family, and even neigbors have utilized my experience when it comes to walking, feeding, and caring for pets! I work 9-5 each day, with 2 days of my week usually spent in my office. Otherwise, I am very flexible in terms of pet care, although I do travel for work/personal life 1-2 times a month, usually on weekends or holidays. I seek to provide plenty of space for any pets that like to roam or need to be crated. I love walking and playing with pets as well, as it’s like exercise for me and for them! It keeps everyone happy. Please contact me regarding further details on caring for pets in my home.
“Catherine is a wonderful sitter who took great care of our cat Luna, especially as a last minute request! She is responsive, caring and made sure Luna was happy all weekend.”
About: I’ve been fostering cats for over 3 years (so far I’ve had a total of 10 cats in my care)! I’ve also babysat my friend’s dog several times (mainly overnight visits but also a couple drop-ins). My sister has a dog that I’ve also watched and spent a lot of time with. While I haven’t pulled the trigger yet and adopted a dog or cat (or both!), I truly enjoy spending time with these furry creatures. I treat your animal as if it’s my own, giving them my full attention and love I fully work from home in a 9 to 5 job with a lot of flexibility, so I’m able to step out for drop-in in your home or to give a lot of attention to your pet if boarding in my home. I own my condo so no worries about an overbearing landlord. I live on a quiet block with no neighbors above or next door to me, so overall a calm apartment to live in. Note that I am on the fourth floor, so three flights of stairs are involved. If your dog has trouble with stairs, my place may not be the best choice. I have around 800 square feet of space for your pet to explore and I also live within a 10 minute walk to 2 different dog parks.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, trustworthy dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs. I started dog walking in high school and college and have loved every minute of it! Since joining Rover, I’ve received multiple 5-star reviews for boarding, day care, and dog walking. Now, living in Hoboken with my fiancé, I focus on walks and visits that keep your pup happy, safe, and engaged. I live near a dog park and a scenic waterfront path—perfect for fun, stimulating walks. I provide regular updates so you feel at ease while you’re away and am happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend and make their day extra fun! I’m currently working from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet during the day! I’m flexible and can take dogs on walks in the morning, mid-day, or evening to fit your schedule. I’m very careful with pets and always follow owner instructions to ensure their safety and comfort. I ask about your pet’s temperament and comfort around other animals, and I respect any limits on interactions. I also watch closely to make sure pets don’t eat or pick up anything unsafe. This approach applies whether we’re on walks, during visits, or any other care you need.
“Annalisa is absolutely amazing! She is such a loving person and did all things that we asked even more. If you are a cat parent, you can be super comfortable leaving your fur baby with her. My both cats love her and we will definitely book her again.”
“Kobi took excellent care of my baby! She was highly communicative and even cleaned up around my apartment without being asked. Would highly recommend her. Thank you, Kobi!!”
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.
“Aniko is our go to and we really are so grateful for her care. She is so professional, punctual, and communicates often. She takes the best care of our pup and is great with her time management - she is such a lifesaver! We highly recommend her care!”
About: Experienced dog sitter and boarder with a 5-star review! I have a flexible work-from-home schedule, live in an apartment building with direct outdoor access, and have an extremely friendly Golden Retriever mix who loves other dogs. Your pup will get lots of attention, exercise, and care while you're away. 🐾 I currently work full-time as an accountant but am still able to give my dog Theo plenty of attention. I would love to have another dog around occasionally to give him company as he loves to play and be around other dogs. I can provide lots of exercise before and after work, with a lunch walk in between! I am a very patient person who will take the time to get to know each and every dog. I give dogs I care for extra space and attention to warm up to me before taking them out for walks.
“Liwei, was super reliable and took care of both my cat and dog while me and boyfriend traveled for a few days. He was very communicative and sent pictures through the walk ins. My dog who can be hyper and nervous to start became comfortable as Liwei spent a little time adjusting to her needs and having great walks. He made my out of town getaway easy knowing he was with the pets.”
“Katherine took great care of our 2 cats during holidays. She was puntual, followed our instructions and sent us updates with lots of pictures. Would definitely book again. Thanks for taking care of our cats!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hoboken
Adiba was amazing with my difficult little boy, Nacho! She followed all of my instructions perfectly, and Nacho warmed up to her so quickly. She sent me a play-by-play throughout the entire visit, keeping me updated on his body language, how he was reacting to her, and how comfortable he seemed having her in his home. She also sent lots of photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind! If you have an anxious or reactive dog, you can feel confident that Adiba will follow your instructions, read their cues, and let them warm up at their own pace. I felt completely comfortable having Nacho in her care and would absolutely recommend her!
Amanda took amazing care of my very young puppy when we were in town for work. She was communicative, responsible, treated my pup with as much love as I would have wanted to give him. It gave me huge peace of mind to know he was being well cared for. We will definitely be reaching out when we’re next in town!
Last evening, Elizabeth sat with our Cocker Spaniel Winnie for few hours while we went to dinner. She was very responsive and flexible with all communications both while scheduling, during and after the stay. She clearly was experienced and quickly won Winnie’s attention. Overall would highly recommend Elizabeth for your pet care!
Jesse was GREAT with Moby. He is clearly a dog lover and Moby, an anxious dog, quickly took to him. Jesse was also very responsive and responsible - wanting to make sure he knew everything he needed to know about Moby. Can’t wait to have him care for Moby again!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Hoboken choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
