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.

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.

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.

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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hoboken on Rover is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $42 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 27,909 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 .

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 , 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 .

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.
