“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.”
“Grace did a great job watching my dog Goose. He recently had an eye operation and has to wear a cone and get eye drop medication twice a day. She handled it all with ease and sent tons of pics to keep me in the loop with how he was doing. I would definitely recommend Grace!”
“Kendall did a great job watching our puppy Gobi! Our guy has separation anxiety and can't be alone for now so it always a relief to find someone trustworthy to watch him while we work. Kendall was prompt and took great care of him on a day he had an upset tummy. Would definitely hire Kendall again to watch our dog! Thank you so much!!”
“Would strongly recommend Adam to anyone! He took the time to come meet our pup beforehand to ensure she would be comfortable. He arrived on time, sent pictures throughout the day, and was responsive to all of our questions. Would happily bring him back for another visit.”
“Kate was great with our labradoodle puppy! Got tons of photos and video update, communication was easy, she arrived early and was well prepared. Would be delighted to book her 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.
“Lola was so kind, responsive, and caring. Our pets were as obsessed with her as she with them. They were very loved and cared for. She not only took great care of our fur babies, but also spread her good vibes to our leaf babies. Everything thrived in her care. Highly recommend Lola! We are so grateful for her last minute availability 8 Stars from our 8 Paws”
“I can’t find a sitter that I will trust more than Junyi! He is very communicative and you will feel very rest assured that your dog is in the best hand. My dog can be quite energetic and sometimes too much but Junyi is always so patient with Loki. He’s definitely both me and Loki’s favorite sitter of all time!”
“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!! :)”
“This is my second time using Kat in just two weeks, and I’m so glad I found her. I have a large, reactive Golden Retriever, and Kat handles her calmly and confidently, especially on walks where my dog can pull. She’s very aware of triggers and I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in good hands. She makes sure my dog gets real time outside, including the park (her favorite), not just quick potty breaks. Kat is always on time, sends lots of updates, is genuinely kind and caring, and leaves my apartment exactly how I left it. Easily the best sitter experience I’ve had. I already have her reserved for a 2-week stay next month.”
“Alexandra was amazing with Mason. She sent regular updates and pictures. She made sure Mason was taken care of. Would highly recommend her and use her again to sit for us.”
About: I grew up with a Golden Retriever and my family now has a Bernese Mountain dog, who I primarily cared for during the pandemic. I've dog sat for neighbors before and in NYC, I have fostered 3 dogs of various sizes, all with super different personalities. I work remotely with a very flexible schedule, so I have ample time to help take care of your dog! I can be available whenever needed, or for last minute appointments. I live in an apartment with an elevator and live right near plenty of dog parks. If they like other dogs I'd be happy to let them play around!
“Susi was great with our baby kitties! She stayed with them while we were traveling and took great care of them! She really loves cats and dogs and we greatly appreciated her sharing updates and cute pictures! Lilly and Miss Tabby really enjoyed spending time with Susi! 😻”
“Harley was amazing! Our original sitter canceled super last minute, and she stepped in to help us over the long weekend. She took such great care of Nala, gave her lots of love and attention, kept us updated regularly, and left the house clean and well cared for. We were so grateful she was able to help on such short notice and would absolutely book with her again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Hoboken is $60

Dona is awesome! She took time to come meet our animals before an overnight stay and clearly cares so much about caring for pets. We have a large dog and she understood him so well and we did not have to worry or constantly check in while we were away. Dona was great at sending multiple updates and pictures each day and was such a pleasure to coordinate with. We can’t wait to have her again! Highly recommend!
McKenzie is absolutely incredible, and I feel completely at ease every time I leave my cat with her. She sends thoughtful updates, clearly adores cats, and truly came through for me when my flight got delayed and I had a last-minute emergency. I can't say enough good things about her. I'm so grateful everytime Oliver is in her caring hands
Natalie was great. This was our first time leaving our puppy with someone, and she was absolutely wonderful! She sent us pictures and updates throughout the stay, which made us feel so much more comfortable. We could tell he was happy, comfortable, and very well taken care of. We felt completely at ease leaving him with her and we will definitely book with her again!
Steph did a wonderful job with our elderly kitty. Steph was able to put our concerns at ease while we traveled for 2 weeks and gave us detailed updates about the things we cared about most. She did great with the regiment and was flexible when our little girl decided to stray from the program. We came home to a clean house and a happy kitty. I hope Steph will sit for us again in the future!
This was our second time having Hannah watch our two senior dogs. She is very kind, personable and very communicative. Hannah is very proactive in sharing updates and photos of our doggos which we very appreciate. One of our dogs takes 4 medications and she navigated that very well. She sent pictures before administration to make sure everything is correct. Thank you Hannah!
Hannah was amazing! She sat our dog for a couple days when a last minute work trip came up. She was super communicative, flexible, and incredible to Whiskey. We got picture updates all day of walks around town, relaxing at home, and food updates since our pup is a picky eater. She went above and beyond when it came to care and updates about our bearded dragon as well. All around great experience, can’t wait to book her when our next trip comes up!
Grace did a great job watching my dog Goose. He recently had an eye operation and has to wear a cone and get eye drop medication twice a day. She handled it all with ease and sent tons of pics to keep me in the loop with how he was doing. I would definitely recommend Grace!
We had such a great experience with Kaitlynn! She took on a last-minute request to watch our recently adopted 16-month-old Great Dane, who is a 140 lb adolescent and definitely no easy feat! She was amazing with him and made us feel completely at ease while we were away, constantly sending photos and updates throughout the weekend. She also made time in her schedule to come by for a meet and greet beforehand, which we really appreciated. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and would absolutely trust her with Cooper again!
Kinga dog sat for us for over 1 week. She was amazing. She provided daily updates and communication. Our dog absolutely loved her. She put our minds at ease knowing our dog was being well taken care of. She left the house in spotless condition. Thank you, Kinga!!!

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 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.
