“Adam was wonderful with Dewy and Monroe, both dogs have health issues, and Adam was able to work with them. I travel alot and feel very comfortable having Adam stay in my home and watch my two dogs. Thank you Adam and looking forward to our other trips that are already booked.”
“Thank you, Mercedes! Mercedes did a great job sitting for our girls. She always kept us updated with how they were doing, checked in after meals, and sent fun updates. Definitely recommend!”
“We are so grateful for Adriana! She took such wonderful care of our pup, Blue, while we were away. He can be a bit stubborn and high-maintenance at times, but Adriana handled everything with so much patience, love, and attention to detail. She truly went above and beyond to make sure Blue felt comfortable and cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We would highly recommend Adriana to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you again, Adriana—you’re the best! 💙🐾”
“Alexandra was a great dog sitter for our senior pug. Our dog has special needs such as going out 3-4x a day, needing a diaper, and some pills with food. She dog sat at our apartment for a week and everything was smooth. She also provided regular updates. We will be booking her again for now on.”
About: I’ve always been a big animal lover and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them attention and care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m available for walks every day as well as pet sitting during the week. I’m flexible and can adjust to your pet’s schedule and needs. I provide a quiet, calm, and safe environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow their usual routine closely, including feeding, playtime, and litter care, and always respect their space and personality.
“Celine was super great, she came by a few days early to do a meet and greet and got to know everything about our pups before hand. She showed up on time, has a great attitude and did a perfect job. We will book again and I highly recommend”
“Tori is dependable and conscientious and is truly someone we trust with our home and our pets. Each time Tori has taken care of our dog and cat we come home to very happy pets who clearly enjoy her companionship. We love the pictures Tori sends when we are away and the stories that go with them. Hopefully we will be able to have Tori back soon.”
“Ava was great! She stayed at my house and cared for my 4 dogs, cat, and 9 chickens. She sent me pictures of the dogs multiple times throughout her stay. One of my dogs actually had a small injury (due to my dog’s craziness, not Ava’s fault) and Ava sent me pictures immediately. My dogs appeared to love her from the pictures she sent.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Candiance! She was so communicative throughout her stay with our dog and provided us with amazing photos and videos. She sent daily updates and our dog was so happy he barely even noticed we were gone. If I could give 10 stars I would!”
“Cassie was so great with Mia! She was flexible and accomodating, and I can tell from the pictures she sent that Mia really loved spending time with her. Will definitely book Cassie for sitting again!”
About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life and now have two cats of my own. My family consistently had dogs for the first 25 years of my life whom I assisted with. My experience escalated when I volunteered at my local animal shelter where I walked the dogs and assisted with feeding. I have experience with puppies all the way to geriatric dogs, including overnights. I have a degree in pre-vet medicine as well as experience administering insulin to cats. I am a hybrid worker with flexible office days. I am able to chose when I go in therefore my availability is almost always open. I live in a city apartment and do not have the ability to house animals in my apartment. I have done overnight stays at clients apartments and feel very comfortable doing drop in visits and staying in clients apartments.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life! My husband and I got our pup, Winnie about 4 years ago and it has been the best - if I could own 10 dogs, I would! Winnie loves to have friends over for the weekend and meet up with other dogs in the area for walks. I WFH Monday and Friday and I’m around most weekends and would love to help care for your pup when you can’t be there! I know what every pet parents wants in terms of quality of service and will be sure to send lots of updates and cute pics along the way! I work 2 days in the office, 3 days at home with a very flexible schedule. I am also home most weekends and would love to help you take care of your pup! I live right next to a park and take dogs for frequent walks and what I like to call sniff-afaris! Before I leave, I will make sure water is filled and there is nothing out than your pup can get into.
“JJ was awesome with our pets. Lots of love and attention for our dog and cat plus the house was taken care of. Will definitely book again on our next trip. Thanks JJ for all your help!”
“Anna was absolutely amazing while caring for my cat.. she was very attentive and communicative, always sending updates and asking questions. Will for sure book her again🤍”
About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats in my life. Family, neighbors, and roommates have trusted me with the care of their pets. Growing up with 3 dogs and a cat, I can’t imagine life without them! I currently work full time but work remote on Mondays and Fridays and have lots of free time on weekends. Pet care would be a natural fit into my routine of being outside, getting exercise and relaxing! Whatever needs need to be met for your pet I am willing to do. Whether it’s long walks or just to be let into the yard I can be there. Any special needs like medications or crating I can take care of with your instruction!
“Morgan took amazing care of my very special and beloved dog! He loved her and she was very attentive/careful to follow all of our instructions to make him comfortable and happy while we were away for the week. Would definitely trust her to take care of him again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Hoboken is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hoboken
Grace was absolutely amazing! We were really nervous to leave Ralph for the first time, especially because he’s a rescue and is still very nervous and learning to trust new people. From the beginning, Grace made us feel completely at ease, and Ralph absolutely loved her — and her boyfriend Dan, who spent time with him as well. Knowing that Ralph was happy, comfortable, and being so well cared for genuinely made our vacation so much more enjoyable. Grace was incredibly attentive and clearly treated him like he was her own. It meant so much to us to be able to relax and not worry about him while we were away. We came home to a very happy Ralph, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to have Grace (and Dan!) watch him again. Couldn’t recommend her more!
We had such a wonderful experience with Ariel!! She took excellent care of our pet throughout the day, making sure he was well-fed, got his walks, and was comfortable and happy. She also sent us regular photos and updates, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was safe and well cared for. He had a fantastic time with her and came back happy, relaxed, and content. We are extremely happy with the care she provided and would absolutely have her look after him again. We’ve definitely found our go-to sitter! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and responsible. ❤️🐾
Lucie did a great job sitting for my dog, Frankie. Frankie can be slow to warm up to new people in her space and Lucie was patient and welcoming to Frankie, helping her get settled in while I was away. Lucie kept me updated during the stay. Will definitely book again. Thanks!
Genevieve watched our dog Akhilles and cat Macambo for three days, and also stopped by to care for my girlfriend’s three cats. She handled everything reliably and kept us updated at a good pace. The pets were fed, cared for, and comfortable the whole time. Overall a solid job — we’d be happy to book her again.
Brooke was amazing with my puppy Louie! She was on time, caring, and attentive, and sent me updates throughout the day with pictures, which I really appreciated. It was such a pleasure having her watch my little boy Louie, and I would absolutely love to have her watch him again. I highly recommend Brooke!
Emily was amazing! I was away at a wedding and could completely focus on that because I felt totally at ease that my baby was in good hands. She’s super communicative and my cat was comfortable with her right from the start. Will definitely be reaching out to Emil again in the future! Thank you again Emily!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hoboken on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 19,361 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hoboken. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Hoboken walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Hoboken maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hoboken. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
