“Kristen was extremely communicative and flexible, especially when we needed to rebook our trip last minute. She took wonderful care of our cat with care and attention to detail, making sure he got the play time and affection he needed. Would highly recommend to any anxious cat parent!”
“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!”
“You can count on Jenna to go above and beyond for you. She made sure that my cats were taken care of even with an initial issue trying to get into my apartment (my fault). Will be recommending and hiring again!”
“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!”
“Ronald did a great job taking care of my Hilton! This was my first time using Rover and Hilton seemed very happy and content when I arrived back at home. Ronald kept me updated with pictures of their walks too! I highly recommend”
“Annalisa is reliable, has a positive attitude, and was wonderful with our cat while we were gone for a week. She gave us such peace-of-mind knowing our cat was in good hands. We would definitely hire Annalisa again!”
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.
“Ramona has a very warm energy and was communicative throughout my time away. I am confident my cat was well cared for, and my place was tidy when I returned. Would definitely recommend Ramona to others!”
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 sits to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. I offer lots of love, attention, and playtime along with adventurous walks during my time with your for baby. They will receive great care while gaining a new friend.
About: I had a dog for 8 years and a cat for 16. I miss them both. Happy to help provide pet care to your dog or cat while you are away. I work part-time and remotely, so I'm able to be flexible with my time and I can handle last minute requests. Because I'm home all day this also works for daylong sits. I live in Hoboken and do not have a car so I am not available for Jersey City walks. The time it takes me to get there makes the money not worth it. I'm happy to follow the schedule you have set for you pet, as well as any special care they may need (although I'm not good with needles!). My apt is about 750 sq feet and up three flights of stairs.
About: Loving dog dad to an Old English Sheepdog and now have our own medium goldendoodle who is walked and fed to his hearts content. Looking forward to seeing your pup! Fully remote professional; can work your schedule as needed. Multi room apartment for pet sitting; happy to walk your dog alone or with our goldendoodle - up to you! We have a happy and kind Goldendoodle at home who loves to have new friends over. You can request to have your dog walked solo or have them join our Leo on walks!
About: What sets me apart is my attention to detail and consistency. I’m experienced with administering medications and take pride in deep-cleaning litter boxes so homes stay fresh. I’m patient with puppies, seniors, and pets with special needs, stick closely to routines, and send regular photo/video updates. Many clients rebook because their pets settle in quickly and they feel confident leaving them with me. Happy to do a free meet-and-greet! Early mornings Monday/Tues. all day. Wednesday/Thursday all day. Friday/Saturday in morning. Sunday in the evenings only. We can always schedule and talk more about your pets needs. My house has a fence yard and pet will have free range to move and frolic with fresh air as it pleases. Along with always having a great time!
About: I have had dogs all my life and currently work from home, looking to give back and meet new owners + help those where I can! I’m currently working from home so can make time during the morning, day, or at night after work when needed! I love being outside and am energetic, with a dog of my own i oversee who is 2 years old. We typically walk dogs twice a day - morning and night, and try to play in the yard when I can during the day when my schedule allows. they are fed twice a day, and have different types of food :)
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.
About: I’ve been fostering cats for over 3 years (so far I’ve had a total of 10 cats in my care)! I’ve also babysat my friend’s dog several times (mainly overnight visits but also a couple drop-ins). My sister has a dog that I’ve also watched and spent a lot of time with. While I haven’t pulled the trigger yet and adopted a dog or cat (or both!), I truly enjoy spending time with these furry creatures. I treat your animal as if it’s my own, giving them my full attention and love I fully work from home in a 9 to 5 job with a lot of flexibility, so I’m able to step out for drop-in in your home or to give a lot of attention to your pet if boarding in my home. I own my condo so no worries about an overbearing landlord. I live on a quiet block with no neighbors above or next door to me, so overall a calm apartment to live in. Note that I am on the fourth floor, so three flights of stairs are involved. If your dog has trouble with stairs, my place may not be the best choice. I have around 800 square feet of space for your pet to explore and I also live within a 10 minute walk to 2 different dog parks.
“Delphi helped me out and was able to watch my cats on short notice when I had a work trip! As usual, she is very thorough and even came an extra time after I realized the cats had knocked over their water bowls.”
“Daisy was absolutely phenomenal! She took such great care of my cat. She always kept me up to date when coming, took loads of photos, left everything so tidy, and gave my cat lots of love. My cat is quite old and needs meds, she did a great job with that too!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Hoboken is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hoboken
Amy was incredible!! From the first time we talked about the booking she was extremely communicative and organized. She arrived early and was super prepared. She watched my 12 week old puppy and was so accommodating to her naps and any special requests I had asked about. Amy sent me photos all the time and updated me every step of the way about my pup and even how much she ate and played. I could not recommend her enough! She was my first puppy sitter and I will 100% be using her again! My puppy loved her!!
Katie was great! She sent plenty of photos and detailed updates after each visit, which gave us peace of mind knowing our cat was well cared for while we were away. She handled everything like a pro, and we felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. Would definitely book with her again!
We have used Sam a few times now, and he has been excellent in terms of communication, care, and timeliness. At one point our cameras had gone offline, and Sam worked to fix them and succeeded. He goes above and beyond and best of all he took great care of our kitties.
We had Kelly petsit our cat for a week and a half in 2 hour increments and she was super communicative and flexible in her approach and care. From our initial meet and greet it was clear that she has been around cats and understands how to properly engage with them. We came home to a happy and healthy cat so we couldn’t ask for much more
Xinyu was absolutely wonderful with Mocha! She was super responsive from the very first message and incredibly diligent throughout. She checked in every single day and took time to actually play with Mocha, not just feed her. The daily photos and videos were the highlight of my trip and gave me total peace of mind. Mocha was relaxed and happy when I got home, which says everything. I'd book Xinyu again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to any cat parent!
Sana is amazing! We were out for 3 days and booked Sana to look after our cat and a newly adopted kitten. She is extremely diligent and communicative, and paid great attention to each cat. We are so at ease knowing our babies are being taken great care of! Will definitely rebook.
Deanna was amazing! She’s super sweet and patient with our cat and gave him so much love and attention. She took such good care of him while we were away, and we could tell he really liked her! We’re so happy we found her and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hoboken is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $42 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 28,045 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hoboken. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. 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.
Before booking, confirm:
- 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 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:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
