“Zeynel is great - she’s so gentle and conscientious with taking care of my pups and they are always so happy to see her and relaxed when I get home because she keeps them entertained 🥰”
“Alexandra house sat my dog Shifu and she was absolutely great with him. He’s a high energy dog especially during the evenings but she was able to handle him really well. Have already booked her twice to look after him and her proximity to my place is an added advantage. Will definitely avail her services moving forward.”
“Adrian was absolutely amazing and understanding with the needs of my cats. He provided thorough recaps of his time with them and asked tons of questions ahead of time to best understand how to provide for them. Will absolutely be rebooking again when I need”
“Denise is a blessing! I have no words to describe how grateful I am and lucky to have found Denise during the holidays. While no one was available on this app, Denise was flexible and kind to watch my senior dog while I was traveling to see my family for a week. I highly recommend Denise because she demonstrates everything that you hope for while you are away: she sends daily updates makes you feel that your dog is safe, she is trustworthy and honest, she is very flexible and communicates clearly. Thank you Denise and I will definitely rebook your services if your schedule permits. Sailor misses you!”
“Morgan was incredibly helpful as always. We had to extend our sitting as winter storms disrupted all travel and Morgan was more than flexible. We always feel so comfortable leaving Lola in her care.”
“Jolea was excellent! She took great care of my 3 babies - 2 cats and one senior dog. She was responsible, communicative, followed my instructions, left my home clean, and clearly loves animals! I would definitely recommend Jolea and book her again! Thank you!! :)”
“Francesca was amazing with my cats, as always! She accepted last minute booking and was very communicative leading up to and during the visit. She stayed at my apartment and left the space spotless and my cats were very happy when I got home. Don’t hesitate to book Francesca for your next trip, your cats will be in great hands.”
“Adeanna was amazing with our 2 dogs for house sitting for 5 days! She came to meet up prior so she could get a better understanding on how to take care of our dogs. Then when it was time for her to come stay at our space, Adeanna was extremely communicative checking in and sending pics throughout the day. She was also excellent and providing nuance care our 2 dogs. Our dogs love Adeanna and we highly recommend her! 😁😁”
“Andrew was fantastic with our senior dog for an overnight stay. He was very kind and communicative and I felt at ease with him watching our dog. Would definitely recommend him!”
“Ariana was AMAZING! She stayed in our home and took care of our two pups. One that is an elder pup and requires medication. She took them on daily walks and left our home in perfect order. Ariana communicates well and our pups can’t wait to see her again. Highly recommend Ariana. 12 out of 10 stars!!”
“Aiyana is superb. She’s able to accommodate a tough schedule (multiple potty breaks a day) for one of my dogs who was on medications. I was nervous having to leave them for a week but everything went well. She also left the place very clean. Highly recommend.”

When Ivana is housesitting your dog, she is fully dedicated to giving your pup the best time! She will ask you all the right questions to make sure she treats your pet the way they love it. She keeps you updated and shows them having a good time in pictures and videos. Highly recommend Ivana!
Alex is an amazing dog & cat pet sitter. I trust her with my 2 pets & staying at my apt anytime. i am so greatful i found her! she will now be my go-to whenever i need. she is very punctual, reliable, honest and caring. she provides daily updates with photos and videos. I never once had to check in with her, every single day she early in the morning she gave me updates for both my dog and cat! She made me aware if they were eating normal/going to bathroom normal and sent me super cute pictures and videos of each of them. i could tell especially my dog muñeca , looooved Alex, even from day 1 at the meet & greet my dog was licking her face and super happy with alex. My 8 year old cat who is usually very ani strangers and takes time to warm up to people - by the first day i left out of town, alex sent me a video of miso my cat purring as she pet him, it was very cute. i highly recommend alex!!
Jenid is the best. Completely trust her watching my pets and my apartment. Watched my pets and apartment for 22 days. Took great care of the pets and the apartment. Took the time to clean before she left. Great communication skills and sent me plenty of pics and videos while I was away. Completely worth the peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend and will definitely use again.
Elizabeth was a really good sitter for Toby and provided daily updates while I was gone. I could tell that she really enjoyed caring for him! She took care to consider the outdoor temperature when planning his walks. Everything seemed great when I returned home to a happy and healthy dog.
Victoria was great! She made it really easy for me and I'm so thankful. Victoria sent pics during her sit and Goose clearly was loving the attention. Another great benefit was how comfortable she was with Goose and how confident that made me feel. She mentioned she's done many years of equestrian work and has developed the intuition and confidence to be be great at handling animals. Highly recommend.
Ana took wonderful care of my two cats and my dog, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She stayed in our home while we were traveling, and from the very beginning, she really settled into our pets' routine. It was clear she took the time to learn how we do things and made sure their days stayed as normal and comfortable as possible. She is incredibly responsible, respectful, and an excellent communicator. One of the things I appreciated most was that she checked in with me every day—usually two or even three times—with updates, photos, and little messages about how everyone was doing. That gave me so much peace of mind because I never felt like I had to reach out or wonder if everything was okay. She always kept me informed. When I came home, my pets looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which says everything. It was obvious they felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. I highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. She treated our pets like family, and I will absolutely be using her services again whenever we travel.
Anj was fantastic and took excellent care of our cats. She is extremely reliable, showed up on time, and was fast to respond to any questions we had. We really appreciated the regular photo updates and the fact she kept our house clean and organized for when we got back. Would highly recommend her to anyone!
Emily was such a life saver and an absolute joy to have watching over our Winston while we were away. She was so communicative and kind, plus more than happy to go the extra mile to help us coordinate a key hand off with a friend when our flights had issues coming home. I could not recommend Emily more and hope we have the privilege of having her again in the future :)
Olive is an exceptional pet-sitter! She stayed at my home and took wonderful care of my cat. I received lots of cute photos multiple times a day. My cat, who is typically shy with new people, warmed up to Olive very quickly. I came home to a very clean and tidy home, and a well-fed and happy cat. Highly recommended!
Jocelyn is the best! My cats loved her and while one is easy to please the other is very picky and gets nervous so easily. She was patient with them and they seemed really happy. She’s a great communicator and sent the sweetest videos. I will absolutely book with her again and would recommend her to anyone!
Yeji house sat and watched our pitbull Koba for a week and she was absolutely FANTASTIC. Kept us updated with pictures, gave Koba plenty of attention and long walks, and just took such great care of him. She also left our apartment clean and tidy when we left. Could not recommend her more highly for any Rover job. Thanks again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hoboken on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 19,174 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.

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.
