“Katie was phenomenal. She picked up over a week of pet sitting when our sitter fell through a week before our departure. Our kids LOVED her frequent updates and photos. Katie even helped schedule and extra visit when snow interrupted our return.”
“Emmy loves Kendall and so do we!! We had a lot of anxiety leaving our brand new rescue home with a new person while we were at work, but Kendall came over the day before and hung out with Emmy and made sure to ask all the necessary questions. Believe the 5 star reviews!”
“Simply put Alexandra was phenomenal. Both of our pets took to her from the start and she provided the perfect mix of information and fun when keeping us updated on how they were handling being away from us. She even went above and beyond by making sure all the dishes she used were washed and the linens on her bed were stripped - completely not necessary but a major difference from previous pet sitters we've used. Absolute 100% recommended - we will definitely be using her again!”
“Morgan was amazing with our dog. We felt so at ease the entire watch. We received tons of pictures and it made being away even better knowing our dog was in great hands.”
“I used Katherine to watch my senior dog quite a few times when I still lived in NJ. And she was awesome! She went above and beyond my expectations. She played with him, loved him, brought him treats. I felt so comfortable leaving her in charge anytime I went away. And she was always super responsive, flexible with even last minute requests and very communicative while I was away with updates pictures and videos. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She’s fantastic!”
“Mercedes took amazing care of my cat! She gave clear and detailed updates and was great at letting me know when things came up. She must have a gift with animals because even my normally shy baby was asking for pets immediately.”
“Dona was great and friendly! I was provided lots of pupdates and could see all the activities she did for lola. The apartment was treated respectfully and Lola really loved having her! Lola was happy and safe when I came home 😊”
“Lehan was amazing and Milo loved her. She gave great updates and sent a lot of photos. Milo had so much fun and I will be using Lehan every time I take a trip. Thank you again for everything!”
“Tiffany was great! She sat for my two cats. She sent regular updates about my kitties and photos! She stayed at my home and was super respectful. I would definitely trust her again to cat sit/housesit! Highly recommend!!”
“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!”
“Cassie was amazing! Our dog was so well taken care of. It was such a relief to know that our dog was happy and having a nice time while we were away. She also took great care of our house! We will definitely use Cassie again!”
“Zuleyka was amazing! Spontaneous, very communicative and she handled the pups so so well! Thank you for taking such good care of them! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible dogsitter :)”
“Jolea is so kind and communicative! She wanted to know all about Astro and his routine and I can tell he really enjoyed her company! He gets separation anxiety when we’re gone but he was in a great mood with Jolea. She was a great house sitter! We would absolutely recommend her to anyone and we would love to have her back!”
“Winston loves Michelle and so do I!! I have to travel for work so much and it is so great to have someone reliable and consistent for him - the most important thing for him is TLC (and food and potty) and she gives it 100%. Cannot thank Michelle enough for caring so much for my pup!”
“Adeanna was fantastic and we cannot recommend her more! She is kind and communicative, we received daily of updates about how our dog Muppet was doing during the week she watched him. It was our first time leaving Muppet, and we are so glad we had Adeanna to stay and take care of him. She is extremely polite and professional, and took wonderful care of our pup as well as our home.”
“Katherine was amazing!! Plenty of updates during the day and kept our little Rosy entertained while we were out. A real gem of a dog sitter. We can't thank you enough.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hoboken
Chana took excellent care of my two cats, she stayed overnight with them between house guests while I was away. She is a responsible and caring cat sitter (and house sitter). During my time away she later returned to for a five day extended sit, which was also well done. I highly recommend her as a cat sitter.
First time having Junyi’s house sitting services for my aussie, Lola. Junyi was great! Super friendly, great communication and listening to all my weird things we do for Lola (helicopter dog mom 😂), and received lots of pupdates. The apartment was taken care of and most importantly, Lola was happy, safe, and healthy when we returned home.
Megan was absolutely fantastic! She took such great care of our cats, making sure they were fed on time, spent quality time with them, and played with them during every visit. It was clear she genuinely cared for them, and they absolutely loved her. She also went above and beyond by leaving us the sweetest welcome-home surprise—a cute cartoon drawing of our cats—which was such a thoughtful and personal touch. It truly made our day. We felt completely at ease knowing our cats were in such caring hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would happily book Megan again. Highly recommend!
Yisha was outstanding with her care and support. Her update was fabulous and more than what we've asked for. Even when Rumy and Kkumi messed up the bedsheet, she went and washed them for us! We would definitely recommend her for any of our upcoming trips for sure!
Malavika was an amazing pet sitter! She watched my cat over the weekend and was incredibly communicative, sending regular updates and photos throughout the day. She made sure to spend quality time with my cat, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away on vacation. She also left my apartment very clean. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!!
Caroline is amazing! My dog loves her, and she took such great care of him. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing that while I was out, he was in such caring and capable hands. It’s not easy to find someone you trust with your pet, and Caroline is definitely that person. I highly recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hoboken
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.
