“Roxandra cared for my two cats and was lovely!! She fed them, gave them tons of attention, which they appreciated!! We felt at peace knowing she was there with them :)”
“Jenna was fantastic! My pup loved her so much and didn’t want her to leave. Only bad side is I think Duffy may like jenna more than me now! Would love to have Jenna come for drop ins whenever I’m out of town next.”
“Kathleen was amazing! Helped us out last minute in a pinch for two days in a row. She was responsible and responsive. Cheese was happy to see her! Would love to book her again!”

“We can’t say enough great things about Federica! She has been absolutely incredible with our dog and has given us so much peace of mind. She is extremely attentive, communicative, and clearly cares so much about the pets she watches. We always feel like our dog is in the best hands with her. She goes above and beyond, keeps us updated, and treats our dog with so much love and care. We’re so grateful to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely amazing with animals!”
About: Calvin and I are both Dog lover since we were little. Calvin owned two dogs in my life; One mud and one schnauzer. I owned chihuahua mini teacup. However, we love doggie of any kind! Calvin owns his own business and WFH. I mostly WFH too. Therefore, we can ensure someone is home most of the time we have a guest. We have plenty of time/space to walk and play with dogs at home. We can spend time outdoors walking/running/hiking or indoors playing depending on your preference. We only take on one client at a time to maximize individual attention. No children or animals at home. Non smoking environment.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was old enough to ride a bike. Friends, family, and even neigbors have utilized my experience when it comes to walking, feeding, and caring for pets! I work 9-5 each day, with 2 days of my week usually spent in my office. Otherwise, I am very flexible in terms of pet care, although I do travel for work/personal life 1-2 times a month, usually on weekends or holidays. I seek to provide plenty of space for any pets that like to roam or need to be crated. I love walking and playing with pets as well, as it’s like exercise for me and for them! It keeps everyone happy. Please contact me regarding further details on caring for pets in my home.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, trustworthy dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs. I started dog walking in high school and college and have loved every minute of it! Since joining Rover, I’ve received multiple 5-star reviews for boarding, day care, and dog walking. Now, living in Hoboken with my fiancé, I focus on walks and visits that keep your pup happy, safe, and engaged. I live near a dog park and a scenic waterfront path—perfect for fun, stimulating walks. I provide regular updates so you feel at ease while you’re away and am happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend and make their day extra fun! I’m currently working from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet during the day! I’m flexible and can take dogs on walks in the morning, mid-day, or evening to fit your schedule. I’m very careful with pets and always follow owner instructions to ensure their safety and comfort. I ask about your pet’s temperament and comfort around other animals, and I respect any limits on interactions. I also watch closely to make sure pets don’t eat or pick up anything unsafe. This approach applies whether we’re on walks, during visits, or any other care you need.
“Aniko took such good care of my diabetic cat for a second time. She has quickly become my go-to cat sitter. She is very communicative with videos and images and messages. My cat also adores her. Highly recommend her for your special needs cats.”
About: Looking for reliability? I provide repeat as well as one-time services. Please reach out and we can discuss your needs! I'm a fully insured dog walker-sitter that also supports non-standard pets. Aside from experience with my own pets, I have over two years experience as a full-time walker-sitter and time with brick and mortar dog daycares. I have experience with dogs of all energy levels as well as dogs with special health needs. Based in Jersey City, my range includes Union City and Hoboken. I have years of experience with dogs as well as other animals such as birds, cats, rodents, and reptiles. I'm open to discuss other pets! My schedule is usually busy during rush hour (10am-2pm), but please don't let that discourage you. I am more than happy to discuss your needs and find a way to work best with our schedules. I live in an apartment. However, I am able to dedicate good time to walks and attention, so no need to worry about any lack of exercise.
“Kaitlynn is wonderful! She took great care of our pittie while we were out of town. She went above and beyond and send thoughtful updates all week. Our dog loves her - and so do we!”
“Delphi was amazing in taking care of our cats while we were on vacation and even went the extra mile in cleaning some of their things. I could not recommend her more!”
“Katia was fantastic with our cat and dog. Shes friendly, followed our instructions, and was always super prompt and communicative - even helping us bring in a package. It’s so nice to find a reliable sitter in our new neighborhood. We’ll definitely be rebooking with her - thanks again Katia ☺️”
About: Both my husband and I have hands-on experience as pet owners and frequent Rover clients! I’m from Utah and my husband, Ikumi, is from Japan, where I lived for 9 years. We actually brought our Golden Retriever, Arc, overseas with us from Japan, so we are incredibly attuned to keeping dogs safe and comfortable during big life transitions. Between the two of us, we’ve grown up with French Bulldogs, Labs, Poodles, and Australian Shepherds, giving us a great foundation for handling all different sizes and energy levels. Because we use Rover for Arc, we know exactly what pet parents want: excellent communication, lots of photos, and total peace of mind. We decided to become sitters because we simply love dogs and want Arc to have regular playmates. Whether your dog is young and playful or an older dog who just wants to lounge, we will treat your pup exactly like our own! Between my hybrid work schedule (three days in the office, two at home) and my husband’s evening part-time schedule working at MLB games, we have pet care completely covered! There is almost always someone at home, meaning your dog will rarely be without human company. For exercise, we stick to a great routine: we usually take Arc out for a dedicated hour-long walk together during the day, supplemented by reliable morning and nightly potty breaks. When your dog stays with us, their comfort and safety are our top priorities. We maintain a secure, clean, and entirely dog-friendly environment, and we always closely supervise playtime, especially as your pup gets to know our dog, Arc! Our philosophy is to let your dog set the pace and we will match their energy. If they are feeling active, we love bringing out the toys for a fun play session in the home. If they are older, anxious, or just want to relax, we are more than happy to just cuddle and chill. We strictly follow your specific rules and routines regarding feeding, treats, and furniture privileges to ensure a trustworthy, stress-free stay that feels just like their own home.
About: Hi my name is Taylor! I’m a work-from-home professional in my mid-20s based in Hoboken. I’m a huge dog lover, and since I don’t have one of my own yet, I love spending my free time caring for other pups. I have plenty of experience walking and pet sitting for friends and family, and I’m often out and about walking around Hoboken so I’d be thrilled to have your dog join me! I’m caring, reliable, and punctual, and I always treat pets as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. Feel free to reach out with any questions or if you’d like to meet before booking. ☺️🐶 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I work from home three days a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). On those days, I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and just giving pets company throughout the day. Just let me know your availability and we can figure out a time that works best for you! I follow your dog’s routine closely, whether I’m walking them or caring for them in your home. For walks, I keep them safely leashed, follow your preferred routes, and make sure they get plenty of exercise and sniff time. When sitting in your home, I maintain their normal feeding, play, and potty schedule, keep their space clean, and give them lots of attention and comfort so they feel relaxed while you’re away. I always send updates so you know how they’re doing.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Hoboken is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hoboken
Amy is incredibly responsible and genuinely loves cats. She takes great care of my cat and pays attention to every little detail, making sure my cat is happy and comfortable. My cat loves her too, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter!
Sophia was wonderful with Leo! Wonderful communicator and she sent me so many pictures. He looked like he was having the absolute best time with her. The little mouse she brought him was so thoughtful—he loved it, and they played fetch together. I felt so happy seeing how much fun he was having and so grateful he was getting so much love. I’d love to have Sophia care for him again!
This was my first time using the Rover app and I got so lucky with Lauren. From the beginning, she was extremely responsive and once we met, I felt comfortable with her taking care of yuzu while we were away for an extended period. I could tell that Lauren played with Yuzu so well and took such good care of her, making sure Yuzu knew she wasn’t alone! She also uploaded very detailed reports of every visit with tons of pictures that I loved receiving as updates. I had peace of mind knowing Yuzu was in good hands while we were gone. Highly recommend Lauren!!
Sunya was incredible with our cats! She is genuine, kind, and a true cat person—even our shyest cat immediately warmed up and came out for snuggles. She was communicative, flexible with timing, and sent wonderful updates throughout the visits. We felt completely at ease knowing the cats were in such sweet and capable hands. Highly recommend! Six stars!!
Francesca was amazing! Both of my cats warmed up to her almost immediately, even my more timid boy, who is usually quite wary of strangers. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and is passionate about what she does. I felt completely comfortable knowing my boys were in such caring hands. I would absolutely book Francesca again and highly recommend her!

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
