“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.”
“Rebecca is a cat whisperer! My two cats who normally take time to warm up to new people absolutely love her, which makes it much less stressful being away and worrying about them. She sends timely updates and so many pictures, which I love. Couldn't recommend her enough!”
“Gabriella was an amazing cat sitter! She was very attentive and loving to our cats. She even communicated with us every visit with some pictures and a quick status on them. We can't wait to have her over again and care for our little guys!”
“Katherine is incredibly attentive, responsive, and an overall total pleasure to work with. Cannot recommend her, and her immaculate services more! (First time Rover user - made it incredibly easy leaving my lil guy knowing she was taking care of him)”
“Kristen was amazing! She kept my cats entertained and happy during each visit and she provided some great pictures, along with funny feedback (my cats tend to yell a lot). It was awesome to know they were well taken care of while I was away!”
About: Hi, I’m Rita — a lifelong animal lover with a heart for pups and a head for details. I treat every dog like family, blending genuine affection with a calm, reliable presence that pets (and their humans!) can count on. Whether it’s belly rubs, long walks, or sticking to a strict medication schedule, I bring both warmth and responsibility to every visit. One of my proudest experiences was fostering Leland, a sweet pittie love bug, for nearly a year. Helping him grow in confidence and eventually find his forever home was a beautiful reminder of how much love and trust dogs give when they feel safe and cared for. That’s the kind of connection I strive to build with every pup I meet. With me, your dog gets more than a sitter — they get a new best friend. Pet care is my passion and priority—I'm available for evening walks all week, plus overnight stays and weekend boarding to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. I offer a cozy, yard-free home with indoor play, enrichment, and leashed walks. I am able to host one dog under 50lbs and two dogs under 30lbs.
“This was Delaney’s second time watching our cat and she did just as amazing of a job as the first time around. Our cat loves her and we’re comfortable knowing Delaney has cats herself. Highly recommend!”
“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: 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.
“Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our fur babies! Knowing they were safe and happy gave us complete peace of mind. You are incredibly professional and did a wonderful job. We truly appreciate you!”
“Melissa was so great with my two cats! One of my cats is super shy so Melissa made sure to note when she would come out or not. So it was really reassuring seeing her updates and pictures of them while I was gone :) And my cats were happy to have her around too!!”
“Ramona has dropped in on our cat while we’ve been away for a week +. She is very punctual and reliable and provided updates/pictures after each visit. We will continue to use her for our cat while we are away!”
“Allie is an amazing cat sitter and follows instructions purrrfectly (sorry, I had to). She really took the time with my sick, 18-year old cat who needs special medication and extra care and attention and was very impressed with everything she did. I was able to be away for an extended time feeling very secure that he was being taken care of, and received thorough daily reports and pictures. She let me know every time there was any concern at all and handled any issues very well (and quickly). I really appreciated her great communication and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitting and general drop-in home visits.”
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.

Yisha is a true professional who genuinely loves animals and is so kind and caring for our cats! we are so fortunate to have met her. Our cats never go up to strangers at first even in our own home but during the meet and greet our kitties went straight to her and that’s when we knew Yisha was the one! We will continue trusting her home and kitties
Jesse was GREAT with Moby. He is clearly a dog lover and Moby, an anxious dog, quickly took to him. Jesse was also very responsive and responsible - wanting to make sure he knew everything he needed to know about Moby. Can’t wait to have him care for Moby again!
Veronika was absolutely fantastic with my husky Snowy! From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, responsive, and thorough. She asked all the right questions and paid such close attention to every detail, which immediately gave me a lot of confidence that Snowy was in great hands. What impressed me most was how quickly she connected with Snowy and how attentive she was to her individual needs and personality. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making her comfortable and giving her the best possible care. She was responsible, thoughtful, professional, and went above and beyond throughout the visit. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I felt completely comfortable trusting Veronika with Snowy, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog with the same care and attention they would themselves. We will definitely be booking with Veronika again!
Steven was the perfect person to help us take care of our cat while away on our honeymoon for two weeks. He was flexible meeting with us prior to the trip, to review our space and routines. He really showed his expertise by understanding every part of our routine, as he is a cat dad himself! We felt a strong connection with him and it really eased our minds heading out for a long trip away. Steven’s daily reports were timely, detailed, and funny! He provided many photos we giggled and smiled at each day. It actually became one of the highlights of our day! We know Steven took good care of our cat and we would recommend him to anyone!
Monica did a great job taking care of our cats! She took care to follow all our instructions and give all our cats plenty of love, attention, and play time. She was timely and sent good follow up notes every time. Even our crankiest cat warmed up to her by the end. And we came back to a clean house at the end of our travels, which was much appreciated. We’d definitely book with Monica again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hoboken on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 27,986 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hoboken. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
