About: I’ve taken care of dogs (including my own, neighbors, friends, etc.) since I was 15 years old. Experienced in handling dogs on walks, playtime and feeding! I work a part time job and my schedule is flexible so I am usually be available during regular business hours as well as nights/weekends! I love all dogs and treat them with the love and respect that they deserve! I enjoy walking dogs, playing fetch/with toys and just hanging out with them in general!
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.
“Katherine is very responsive, polite, and best of all, my Cleo loves her!! She is an experienced pet caregiver and I would gladly continue to book with her/recommend her to others”
“John was absolutely amazing with our pup Dakota! He took her on a great walk, made sure she got her dinner, and treated her with so much care and attention. It’s clear he really loves animals and goes the extra mile—Dakota was happy and relaxed when we got home. We’re so grateful for his help and would definitely trust him again. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, and have cared for many more. I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds! I work full time during the week, but am constantly squeezing in walks in the mornings and evenings. I also work remotely twice a week so am available to pop out for a walk during those days! My weekends and evenings are pretty flexible for larger needs! I’m very comfortable and experienced with pets. I can help feeding them, taking them on walks, and of course giving them lots of attention!
“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!!”
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!”
“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!”
“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!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Hoboken is $25

Wow! Yushan is such an awesome pet sitter! Highly recommend! This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier. I was nervous at first, but Yushan agreed to a meet and greet before the official sitting date to get to know the kitties and their routines. One of my cats needs medicine so I wanted to make sure she would be comfortable giving him his pill and that he’d be agreeable taking it from her. While I was away Yushan communicated the timing she would be over, and also provided multiple pictures and updates during the visit, showing them eating and playing. She also provided daily wellness updates so I’d know if they were eating, drinking, taking their meds, etc. This really put me at ease during my long trip to know they were with such a caring and attentive professional. When I came home, the kitties were completely relaxed and centered - which definitely would not have been the case if they had to be boarded at the vet and spent a week in a tiny cage. I will definitely be using Yushan in the future!
Daisy was absolutely wonderful with Des. She was timely, communicative, attentive, and incredibly responsive throughout my time away, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was also very clear that she genuinely cared about him. She paid attention to his needs, spent real time with him, and treated him with so much affection and care. I came home to a happy, well-tended-to cat. She was also exceptionally respectful of my home and space, which I really appreciated. I would trust Daisy with Des again without hesitation and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and caring sitter.
Another treasured time spent this summer for Christina and her BFF, Winnie. 😽 We love having the company of Christina! She brings such great comfort and generous care to our kitty, family and home. Her updates bring reassurance and humor that make leaving our kitty so much easier! Thank you for always going above and beyond! ❤️
Dong is so amazing! He’s watched our Bean for our past few vacations and goes above and beyond. We always get pictures of Bean, food and treats given, and he messages us if we may be low on litter. He is so great with our cat and I will always recommend Dong!
Always a pleasure to have Monica watch my little guy - he adores her! They always have so much fun and their play sessions are great for getting his energy out before bedtime. She puts together fun tunnel systems for him and he has a blast! Monica was fortunately available last minute when I had to attend a funeral out of state. Replied promptly which enabled us to book quickly and gave me one less thing to worry about while coordinating hotel, cars, flights...a lifesaver to say the least. Nobody I trust more with my cat!
We are grateful that we found Rebecca as a drop-in sitter for our fur-baby Raphael, who is a very affectionate cat that needs some company when his family is away traveling. While sitting for us, Rebecca sent us lots of pictures, scooped litter, played with him, and checked his ears daily (as Raphael is prone to ear infections). We plan to hire her again for a longer sitting!
Xinyu took excellent care of Chibi and Milo. She followed all instructions carefully and was very gentle with both cats. Extra patience was especially important for Chibi, who is very shy and tends to hide around strangers. She provided detailed daily updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. I felt completely relaxed knowing my cats were in such good hands. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her.
Veronika was absolutely wonderful with Princess! She was so gentle, sweet, and patient with her, and asked all the right questions to make sure Princess was comfortable and well cared for. I can’t wait to continue building a relationship with Veronika and have her become someone Princess knows and trusts! 💕🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hoboken on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 27,927 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.
