“John was great for regular works when I had to go back to the office. He was consistent, reliable, and did well with my anxious dog. I always got a quick response from him when I needed to reach out and he sent photo of my dog after every walk.”
“I truly cannot say enough great things about Zeynel. She started walking our boxer, Kirby in the fall this year while my husband and I are at work. Kirby has been with many dog walkers, she’s obsessed with Zeynel. The level of care, kindness and responsibility Zeynel provides is unmatched! We feel so comfortable, relaxed, etc. knowing she is in Zeynel’s care. We’ve never had any issues, even with last minute requests and changes on our end. 1000000/10 recommend!”
“Alex has been an incredibly reliable walker for my pup. I’ve had reoccurring walks scheduled every weekday and I could not be happier with her services. She always sends me updates and is super responsive as well as flexible when I have had to cancel and rebook last second :) 10/10”
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.
“Paige accommodated Sonny for a last minute booking, and was very quick to respond and ask questions! She communicated well and was kind and gentle upon meeting our dog for the first time. Would repeat service if needed again.”
“Thank you Roxandra!!! Roxandra was extremely responsive, and I appreciated her availability last minute to help me with a walk for my Boston terrier. She also uploaded the cutest photos. We will definitely be a repeat customer for our Kygo!”
“Love Isabella! And so does my pup! She is an extremely responsible kind and reliable dog walker!! She sends us tons of photos and responds promptly to our requests. My dog loves her! Highly recommend!”
“Alexandra was wonderful with our senior dog. I appreciate how Alexandra is very responsible; communicates timely, always on time, understands my dog’s needs, and is gentle with my dog. Thank you for being so professional; I trust my baby is safe with you.”
“Lucy is obsessed with him, she generally is shy of people but knows his face to drag me over to him to start their walk asap. She doesn't even take a look back despite having separation anxiety from me, he is amazing with her.”
“Life saver! Responded quickly to a last minute request and was able to take my little guy for a nice long walk. Friendly and professional. Will request again!”
About: As the granddaughter of a veterinarian, I have always had the most immense love for animals. Two-Three dogs and cats in the household was quite normal for me growing up. So, when I moved out and I started attending school, I knew, if time and resources permitted, that I would eventually want a pet of my own. The universe provided me with my baby girl nova. A Lab/Pitbull mix with lots of playful energy, kisses and cuddles to give. We embarked in her favorite adventures, car rides, parks, pup cups, and enrichment toys. As I have moved states to pursue higher education, I no longer have the resources to relocate her with me and therefore, she resides in the care of family and a family friend. I know how important it is to have help, community, and the necessary resources when taking care of another living being. Therefore, I wish to help others in any way that I can to care for their own fur baby! As a part-time student, my availability is pretty open. I am unavailable Tuesday/Thursday 11-1pm and Wednesday 10-1 pm. Any other days/time I am available, as long as travel time is accounted for. Each pet is different in terms of their needs. That is why I believe it’s important to follow clear instructions from pet-owners. In my home, pets are respected as fellow residents, and cared for with love:).
About: I have over 15 years of experience dogs and cats! I have a six year old terrier mix, Buster, who is very high energy and takes a lot of time and effort to care for, but is very rewarding. I currently dog sit a 6 year old doodle consistently three days a week and have been looking after her for over 4 years. With lots of previous experience with cats and dogs, I can promise you that you will be getting the highest quality service for dog walks and drop in visits to your home. I have experience dog sitting and boarding over 10+ dogs in Hoboken. I have my own dog that requires 3-4 walks per day. He loves to move and play, and taking care of my pets is at the center of my life. My hours are currently flexible and I’m happy to help with your pets however I can! Safety is a top priority for me and I will always make sure the dogs are safe and protected. Our home is dog friendly and we will treat your dogs like our own!
“Leslie is fantastic! Sean Connery is a demon spawn and Leslie did a great job with him even when Leslie walked into the apartment and Sean had escaped his crate and tore apart my living room. Luckily, Sean is only visiting. Leslie is great with my actual dog Echo who he walks every day. 12/10 would recommend.”
“I had very specific needs for my two dogs with regard to rotating them and walking them, and Dee was very attentive to both my boys’ needs. I don’t trust many people with my dogs, but was in a pinch due to a last minute switch in holiday plans around Christmas - I trust Dee 100% with them. I would recommend Dee to anyone in the area who needs such services, and I have already recommended Dee to my sister. I know I can count on Dee and plan on using her services again in the future.”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Hoboken is $24
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hoboken
Raul is fantastic! He takes such great care of our dog, and we always feel confident he's in good hands. He's incredibly attentive and communicative, especially when it comes to flagging any issues or concerns and keeping us updated. It's clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after. We highly recommend him!
Victoria just started walking Ruby a couple weeks ago and she has been great! Very communicative and I can already tell how comfortable my dog is with her. If you want someone reliable and will go out of their way to make sure you’re comfortable in addition tot our puppy, she’s your gal!!
Stanley was great! He was responsive, attentive, and kind with Gitzi. He confirmed that he had all the information he needed when I first reached out and messaged me as soon as the walk was finished. He also spent a good amount of time with her, which I really appreciated. I felt comfortable having him care for Gitzi and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!
Olivia was exceptional! She was always punctual, had a great disposition and my senior dog, Jiggles, loved her. She always took him for nice, long walks and he would come back happy and ready to take a nice nap. She was also very accommodating and able to fit us in on very short notice. I highly recommend Olivia and guarantee your pup won’t be disappointed!
Paul is an excellent dog walker for my two dogs. He is very punctual, takes great care of the dogs, and is thorough with his updates, so I always know how the walk went. The dogs were very happy with him on their walks. He has also been a great help to us at a busy time. With my husband's hip surgery, having Paul look after the dogs lets me focus on my husband. He goes above and beyond. This is my first time hiring a dog walker, and I couldn't be happier with my choice, both with Paul and with Rover. I would gladly recommend him.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Hoboken is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 28,726 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hoboken. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Hoboken. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Hoboken after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hoboken. On Rover:
- 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
