About: I’m a patient, dependable, and caring dog lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. Growing up, I helped care for and dog sit for friends, and neighbors, which gave me valuable experience working with dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. From feeding and refreshing water bowls to taking dogs on walks, letting them outside for bathroom breaks, administering basic care, and making sure they received plenty of love, attention, and exercise, I have always enjoyed helping pets feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have been dog sitting for many years and have experience with a variety of pet care arrangements. This includes staying overnight in clients’ homes to maintain their pets’ normal routines, providing extended care while owners are traveling, and stopping by for drop-in visits to feed, walk, and spend quality time with their dogs. I understand that every dog has unique needs, energy levels, and routines, and I always make it a priority to adapt my care to what makes each pet feel most comfortable and secure. Because I work from home most days, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of timing needs. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, multiple check-ins throughout the day, or someone to spend extra time with them while you’re away, I can often provide the flexibility and attention that many pet owners are looking for. Working remotely also means I can be more available for longer visits and can give pets additional companionship and supervision throughout the day. Above all, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners, ensuring that your dog receives plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care while you have peace of mind knowing they are in good hands. I currently work from home most days, which gives me a flexible schedule. While I do go into the city a few times each month for work, I’m usually home and make it a point to get outside for walks during my lunch break and I’d love a furry friend to join me. I provide care in my clients’ homes and do not offer boarding in my own home. I believe pets are often most comfortable in their familiar environment, where they can stick to their normal routines and feel secure. I will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, etc. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am patient, dependable, and happy to adapt to each dog’s unique personality and routine.
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.
“Casey is INCREDIBLE. She is so kind and sweet while truly going the extra mile. We felt so comfortable having her with our cats for the weekend and look forward to having her take care of them again soon. Thank you Casey, you are amazing!”


About: I’ve helped take care of my family and neighbors dogs and pets for my entire life. I grew up with a dog at home, and in college I helped take care of my roommates dog. I love animals, and would love to get some more dog and cat cuddles in on my days off from my nursing job. I am a pediatric nurse working 3 shifts a week. On my days off I’d love to help care for your pets, whether that is pet sitting, dog walking, or anything else. I’d love to get in some dog and cat cuddles on my days off! I will care for your pets at your house how you prefer! In the safety and familiarity of your home to help calm any anxious pets.
“Took excellent care of our 2 fur babies over the holiday weekend and for a 10 day trip and I felt so at ease. She never complained even though we have a dog with IVDD who requires special care. My dogs can be stubborn but clearly were cared for with love while I was away.”

“Katie is truly amazing! My dog warmed up to her very quickly. She’s always on time, extremely communicative, and genuinely caring. She puts real time and effort into spending quality time with my pup and takes excellent care of her. I feel completely comfortable trusting her and highly recommend her!”

About: I've been taking care of pets since the time I could walk. My own dogs are two small white ones (4 and 6), but I have extensive experience with pets of all sizes and ages. Neighbors and colleagues have trusted me with their daschunds, terriers, pitbulls, malteses, bichons, dalmations, basset hounds, and spaniels too. I raised two litters of puppies to adoption and saw a very old dog through her roughest days. I can care for other animals too. I kept a veritable menagerie – two cockatiels, two rabbits, a guinea pig, and a bichon – happy and healthy for a full two months while the family was traveling. I work remotely and I live right on the end of the path train line which means I can get anywhere in the city on a moment’s notice. Thus, I have the time and ability to give your fur-babies with the consistency and love that they deserve. At this time, I can’t bring more animals into my apartment but I can walk, feed, snuggle, play with and entertain your pets from the comfort of their own home.
“Catherine is a wonderful sitter who took great care of our cat Luna, especially as a last minute request! She is responsive, caring and made sure Luna was happy all weekend.”

About: Hi there! My name is Anna and I’m a Hoboken-based dog lover who would be happy to dog-sit or take your pup for a walk. My main hands-on experience is with Ranger, my family’s 5-year old Belgian Shepherd (you can see him in my profile pic - he’s a cutie!). I’ve cared for and dog-sat many times over the years. Spending time with a large, energetic dog has made me comfortable with everything from long walks and playtime to feeding, routines, and simply keeping him happy and company while his pawrents are away. I also grew up pet sitting for neighbors and friends with both dogs (including a pup with special needs) and cats, so caring for other people’s pets has been part of my life for a long time. I have a very flexible WFH weekday schedule, which means I can give your pet plenty of time, attention, and care without rushing between other commitments. I’m available for daytime walks, drop-ins, and regular recurring schedules, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests or schedule changes. Your pet’s routine, personality, and comfort will always come first. Whether they love long walks and lots of playtime or prefer a slower pace and a little extra reassurance, their care will be tailored to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. You can expect your instructions to be followed closely, your home to be treated with care, and your pet to get plenty of attention while you’re away. You’ll also receive photos and updates along the way, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“John was great with my new puppy! He comes twice a day for a check-in/walk and was very quick and easy to communicate with. Met with John before the initial visit and felt very comfortable with him. Will definitely be using John in the future.”


About: I have over 5 years of hands-on pet care experience watching dogs for neighbors and family. During this time, I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities—handling daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable and happy while their owners are away, and I always treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and fun environment so both pets and owners can feel at ease. I work from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Because I have a flexible schedule, I’m able to come and go from my residence as needed for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins. During drop-in visits, I care for pets in their own home by following their normal routine. This includes feeding, refreshing water, potty breaks, walks if needed, and spending time with them to make sure they’re comfortable. I also check that everything in the home is in good order.
“Josselyn was absolutely fantastic and I can’t recommend her enough! She was a great communicator, provided tons of updated and photos. Luna loved her and we will definitely be reaching out 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!”

“Delaney watched our cats while we were away, and she was incredibly attentive and caring. We were so glad to have someone as trustworthy and reliable as Delaney look after our cats. We’ll definitely rebook with her! 🙂”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hoboken
Delphi took amazing care of our cat while we were on an extended trip. She took tons of pictures documenting our happy kitty and all areas of her care duties. She bonded with our baby immediately, and they built a great rapport. We highly recommend Delphi and would absolutely book her again!

Yuxin was a wonderful cat sitter! She was reliable, responsive, and sent us lots of photos and videos while we were away. Cleo can be shy and takes some time to warm up to new people, but Yuxin was very patient and kind with her. We especially loved the videos of Cleo happily eating her snacks! We felt very comfortable knowing Cleo was well taken care of and would definitely have Yuxin watch her again.

Susi is the absolute best! She is reliable, kind, and takes great care of all my pets. I always know my babies are happy and safe when she's taking care of them. She also sends the best pet pictures and is a joy to chat with. 10/10, my favorite pet sitter!!!!

Jose was great, would definitely book again! He was responsive, caring, and communicative, sending pictures and videos during every visit with our cat. This was only our second time booking through Rover, so I expected our skittish cat to hide, but he warmed up to Jose super quickly! Jose also took the time for a meet and greet when I first reached out, which really put me at ease. He even let us know right away about a random throw up and offered to clean it up (I told him to just leave it lol). Thank you so much, Jose!!

Sana was amazing! Our kitten was hungry and alone at home because our dry food dispenser broke down while we were out of town. We reached out to Sana, and she came over right away and took perfect care of our cat. We were so relieved, and our kitten also had a great time playing with Sana. Thanks again!

Stella was great with our two cats! She kept us updated throughout our trip and sent us photos, which we really appreciated. We could tell our cats were so much happier and more comfortable being able to stay in their own home rather than having to stay somewhere else. The home visits were perfect for them, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for. We would definitely recommend Stella!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hoboken stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hoboken. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
