About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for most of my life and have regularly helped care for them through pet sitting for family and friends. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone dependable who will treat your pets with the same care and attention you’d give them yourself. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I’m committed to making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have experience caring for anxious pets and administering some medications, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and following each pet’s routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm and reassuring presence around, I’ll adapt to their needs and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m a teacher currently enjoying my summer break, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. During the summer, I work only part-time, allowing me to provide reliable care, frequent check-ins, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. As an educator, I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and skilled at following routines and instructions—qualities that carry over naturally into pet care. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, regular walks, or overnight house sitting, you can count on me to provide dependable care and keep you updated while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walks, routines, and any special needs your pet may have. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit, taking your dog for a walk, or staying overnight, I’ll provide attentive care, plenty of affection, and regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. As a teacher, I am dependable, patient, and detail-oriented. You can trust me to treat your pets, your home, and your belongings with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.
About: I have grown up with and around dogs, am an absolute dog lover, and am familiar with dogs of all ages. Working remote full time allows me to be flexible with the owners schedules and cater to their and their pets needs. I work from home/am fully remote, so I have a very flexible schedule due to this! I am available Monday - Friday throughout the day for drop ins and walks for your pups! I understand that every dog has different needs therefore ensuring I have the owners trust and the dogs trust is something that is super important to me. I would first ask that me and the owner meet prior to services to ensure everyone agrees this is a good and safe match. Exercise is something that is apart of my daily routine, I can make certain that each dog will get a walk that is catered to their needs (i.e. distance vs play time)
“My cat was super happy & well behaved with Olivia as her sitter, the photos were also super cute & funny. She is super sweet and took care of my cat perfectly, would definitely recommend!”
About: Hi my name is Taylor! I’m a work-from-home professional in my mid-20s based in Hoboken. I’m a huge dog lover, and since I don’t have one of my own yet, I love spending my free time caring for other pups. I have plenty of experience walking and pet sitting for friends and family, and I’m often out and about walking around Hoboken—so I’d be thrilled to have your dog join me! I’m caring, reliable, and punctual, and I always treat pets as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. Feel free to reach out with any questions or if you’d like to meet before booking. ☺️🐶 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I work from home three days a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). On those days, I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and just giving pets company throughout the day. Just let me know your availability and we can figure out a time that works best for you! I follow your dog’s routine closely, whether I’m walking them or caring for them in your home. For walks, I keep them safely leashed, follow your preferred routes, and make sure they get plenty of exercise and sniff time. When sitting in your home, I maintain their normal feeding, play, and potty schedule, keep their space clean, and give them lots of attention and comfort so they feel relaxed while you’re away. I always send updates so you know how they’re doing.

I love spending my free time with animals! I am respectful of my clients homes and of any instructions given to me. Making a pet feel comfortable and safe in their own home or on a walk will always be my top priority. Of course it helps to know what their favorite treats are:)

“Lucas did an amazing job with my dog Roscoe. Needed someone to let him out/feed him twice on a day I wasn’t going to be around. He came over the day before to make sure there would be no issues. He kept me updated and was in constant communication during his visits. Will definitely be requesting his services again!”
“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!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, and have cared for many more. I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds!

My weekends and evenings are pretty flexible for larger needs! I’m very comfortable and experienced with pets. I can help feeding them, taking them on walks, and of course giving them lots of attention!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hoboken
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!
Itati and Ronald were amazing!!!! Holly was well taken care of by them!! They helped me tremendously with my anxiety of leaving her alone for the first time. They kept me up to date on her and sent me Pics! Loved that they let me know about her potty breaks and if she ate or didn’t. Thank you so much!! We will be booking again!!
I reached out to Isaac fairly last minute when I needed a regular walker for my puppy on the days I’m in the office after my previous walker went on an extended vacation. He responded quickly, asked all the right questions, and has been incredibly reliable ever since. As a first time puppy owner, I definitely get nervous about leaving him with someone I didn’t know. Isaac offered to do a meet and greet first, and within minutes I could tell my dog absolutely adored him. Since then, he’s become a staple in our routine, and I know my dog genuinely looks forward to seeing him every week. Communication has been fantastic. I always get updates and the best photos from their walks, which definitely makes being away a little easier. He’s also been amazing about accommodating last minute drop-in requests when something comes up. Even now that my original walker is back, I’ve asked Isaac to continue walking my dog one or two days a week because I know how much he loves him. I can’t recommend Isaac enough to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring dog walker.
Huge shoutout to Loretto for taking such amazing care of Amara! He was so attentive, dependable, and awesome with communication while I was away. Amara absolutely loved him, and it gave me total peace of mind seeing how well cared for she was. 10/10 would recommend him to anyone!
Katia was fantastic with our cat and dog. Shes friendly, followed our instructions, and was always super prompt and communicative - even helping us bring in a package. It’s so nice to find a reliable sitter in our new neighborhood. We’ll definitely be rebooking with her - thanks again Katia ☺️
Connie was super helpful, had great communication, and was prompt! She helped with my weird request to help with dog training my stranger danger dog while I was home. She was lovely and was willing to help us figure out how we can be successful in managing our dogs stress, and was willing to let us use her as a guinea pig to see what would be successful to help our fur baby! Appreciate her willingness to use Madonna’s stinky treats to motivate her :)

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.

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.

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.
