“Very thorough care and excellent communication! My cat seemed very comfortable with Kaylee from the beginning even though she doesn’t often warm up to people quickly”
“My cat has quite a few special needs, and Kobi did a great job making sure he was well taken care of! She sent pictures everyday either playing or hanging out with my cat which was awesome. I highly recommend her for all your cat sitting needs!”
“Jody did a wonderful job taking care of my cat while I was out of town for the weekend. I wasn’t sure what to expect as it was my first time hiring a pet sitter. She was super communicative, sent lots of pictures and updates, and asked questions that hadn’t crossed my mind (if I wanted a light left on, etc). I would highly recommend Jody and am planning to hire her again myself for upcoming trips I have planned.”
“Paige is wonderful! She’s reliable, flexible, communicative, and truly loves our pup as if she were her own. She was always on time, respectful of our home, and sent plenty of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’d happily have Paige care for our pup again and highly recommend her!”
“Delphi got along with my fairly shy cat (played with him and gave him treats) and was able to accommodate his special prescription diet very well! I would trust her to take care of Katsu any time.”
“We book Yushan whenever possible. She’s been watching our cats for a long time now. She is always dependable and responsible. Our cats do well with her—eating all their food and being happy to see her.”
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.
About: I have had multiple dogs and cats my whole life, from tiny Chihuahuas to large Briards. Love walking, playing, and running with any and all pets! Can go on walks, or longer runs (3-7 miles) with the pups if needed. Animals tend to like me and trust me fairly quickly and I really do love any breed. Hi! I'm Lili, a pediatric critical care nurse. My husband and I recently relocated to Hoboken for his orthopedic surgery residency, and while I'm waiting for my New York and New Jersey nursing licenses to be finalized, I'd love to spend time caring for pets. I'm a lifelong animal lover and have two cats of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, or extra love while you're away, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. I'll treat your pet like they're my own! I'll stick to their normal routine, follow any instructions you leave, and make sure they get lots of attention, playtime, and love while you're away.
“Jolea is the absolute sweetest and took great care of my pups! She's very communicative and sent photos every day to ease my conscience. She followed all instructions and went above and beyond by taking the pups to the dog park almost every day! 100/10 recommend!”
“Our boys seemed pretty comfortable with Woonsan. He made sure our boys were well fed on time and cleaned the litters properly. He also followed our instructions so we didn't have to worry about anything. Will definitely be availing his services again.”
“Cassie has looked after our 2 cats twice now when we’ve been on vacation and I wouldn’t hire anyone else! The cats love her. She always sends plenty of photos and videos and keeps us updated. If I could give her 10 stars I would!”
“Celine has been a very communicative and proactive dog sitter for my pit bull, Diamond. She sends lots of photos and makes sure to give my pup lots of love. She stayed in my home and did great, even bringing in some packages that had arrived. Will book again!”

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.
Veronika was absolutely wonderful with Princess! She was so gentle, sweet, and patient with her, and asked all the right questions to make sure Princess was comfortable and well cared for. I can’t wait to continue building a relationship with Veronika and have her become someone Princess knows and trusts! 💕🐾
Feiran is such a great and reliable dog walker. I will definitely be booking her again. She followed all instructions and was very attentive to my dog. She even got him to eat all of his food and my dog loved her! 10/10 would recommend Feiran to anyone in the neighborhood.
Gabriela was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of my two dogs and cat, and they all loved her. She was extremely reliable, attentive, and clearly spent quality time with them—playing with them, giving them lots of attention, and making sure the dogs got their walks. I especially appreciated the pictures she sent throughout, which gave me such peace of mind knowing everyone was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely use Gabriela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter!
Jonathan was punctual and arrived exactly on time. Whenever he needed to adjust the schedule, he communicated proactively and made sure we found a solution that worked for both of us. Most importantly, he took great care of our puppy. Nori warmed up to him immediately, and they got along very well. It was clear that he genuinely cared about her well-being and made sure she was comfortable and well looked after while we were away. Thank you, Jonathan!
Ryota has been walking my 18-year-old dog, Bambi, every weekday for the past month, and I can’t recommend him enough. Bambi has trouble walking and has several health issues, and he has always been so patient, kind, and attentive with her. He’s consistently punctual, reliable, and flexible when I need to adjust the schedule. Knowing Bambi is in such good hands gives me so much peace of mind and has made a huge difference in my day-to-day life. I’m incredibly grateful for all the care he gives her.
Ziyi has been absolutely incredible, and I couldn’t be happier that she’s the one caring for my dog. Since he’s a rescue, he can get very anxious outside and needs someone who’s patient and understanding. Ziyi has been exactly that. She always takes the time to work with him at his own pace, and I can tell she genuinely cares about making him feel safe and comfortable. She also makes sure he gets plenty of playtime and mental stimulation during her visits. Every time I come home, he’s happy, relaxed, and content, which gives me so much peace of mind. I can’t recommend her enough!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hoboken stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Hoboken with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.

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.
