“Morgan was so great caring for our pup! She was consistent with timing, thorough with her updates, and gave our pup lots of love and attention! We appreciated the pictures so much 😊 we will definitely be using Morgan’s help again in the future and would recommend to others too!”
“Rebecca was absolutely incredible! She took such great care of my cat Champ. I would HIGHLY recommend her. I will most definitely be reaching back out to her again!”
“Roxandra cared for my two cats and was lovely!! She fed them, gave them tons of attention, which they appreciated!! We felt at peace knowing she was there with them :)”
“Katie was great with our shy, anxious cats. She made sure our cat got his daily medicine even tho he’s hard to find with all his hiding spots. She was great with communication and I loved getting all the photos she sent in the check in notes. I could tell the cats were well taken care of and I’d be happy to book with Katie again!”
“Victoria did her best to take care of Pipoca, my scared cat that doesn't like anyone. On her very last day Pipoca even came out of her hiding spot to say hi, which means she trusted Victoria (even faster than most people). To me that speaks volumes of Victoria as a person!! Will have to call her again (Pipoca doesn't like anyone so I can't let those she actually likes go away)”
“John has been great, very quick to answer, extremely reliable and consistent with hours visits. In addition, the daily pictures are a great way to see your pets while away. Highly recommend, thanks!”
“I can't thank Melissa enough for taking such good care of my cat while I was away. She followed all the instructions I provided and sent me daily updates with photos and videos, which were such a comfort. When I came back, my cat was happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared for.”
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.
“Catherine did a great job watching my cat, Mason, when I went away for the weekend. She was responsive on messaging and followed all the feeding instructions. I also appreciated that she brushed him and played with him. He seemed very content when I got home even though he doesn’t like when I go on vacation. We will have her back next time!”
“Aniko took excellent care of my cat Penelope! Her updates were very detailed and she took awesome photos. My cat clearly felt very at ease with her. Thank you Aniko!”
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and cat owner, so I’m very familiar with the different personalities, routines, and quirks pets can have. I offer dog walks and drop-in visits, and I always tailor care to what each pet is comfortable with :) My goal is to help your pets feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while giving you peace of mind. I currently have a very flexible schedule since I am at home most days :) I’m available for check-ins and walks during weekdays and weekends As a pet owner myself, I know every animal has their own personality and little quirks! I take the time to learn their routine and preferences, whether they’re playful, shy, cuddly, or independent all while meeting their basic needs. I want them to be as comfortable as they can be while you’re gone.
About: Hi! I'm Steve, a Hoboken resident for fifteen years. While I'm new to Rover, I bring many years of experience caring for my own pets and those of friends, family and neighbors. I understand that entrusting your dog or cat to someone is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and needs so they feel safe, comfortable and happy in my care. My love of animals started early. Growing up, my family had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, chameleons, iguanas, and more. As a teenager, I worked at the Delmar Animal Hospital near Albany, NY, assisting veterinarians and helping care for boarded and recovering animals. Over the years, I've also rescued five cats and cared for pets of all ages, including administering certain medications when needed. These experiences taught me patience, compassion and respect for every animal. Professionally, I'm a photographer and filmmaker. The qualities that have helped me succeed in that field - reliability, empathy, attention to detail, and clear communication - are the same ones I bring to pet care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and will care for your pet as if they were my own. As a freelance photographer and filmmaker, I enjoy a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate many pet-care needs, including weekends and holidays. Whenever possible, I'll do my best to work with your schedule. For those interested in learning a little more about me: Wedding Photography: churchill-downes-........ Commercial & Editorial Photography: ........ I am a caring, attentive, and responsible animal lover. When walking your dog, I stay aware of our surroundings, including other dogs, traffic, pedestrians, and anything on the ground that might tempt them to investigate or eat. I always follow each owner's preferences for interactions with other dogs, but I generally err on the side of caution and avoid unnecessary encounters whenever possible. Your dog's safety and well-being are my top priorities.
About: Hi, my name is Jess and I live in Hoboken. I’ve watched dogs and cats for friends many times over the years, and have great clients on Rover. I work from home so I am flexible to your needs. I love cats and dogs, especially since I work from home we can both keep each other company. I have experience administering oral medicine, watching elderly cats, and pets with quirky schedules/habits. I work from home full time so can be available any day pretty much any time depending on my meeting schedule. I can drop in any time or stay over since my schedule is flexible, whatever you need. I let cats and dogs come to me and sniff me out before petting and do not pick up any animals unless the owner confirms they are friendly and enjoy that.
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.

Joyce did a great job checking in on our two cats, making sure they were fed and if they had any issues that she would report them to us. She also did well keeping their water clean, dishes washed, and overall was very punctual with her visits. Thank you so much again for your help!!!
Lin truly went above and beyond for us, including staying longer on the 4th of July to help keep our kitties company through the fireworks. Lin is extremely thorough, very communicative and provides a very detailed rover report with lots of photos! As someone who gets anxious being away from our cats, she put my mind at ease because I knew they were in good hands. I am so happy to have found Lin and will absolutely rebook!
Katia was fantastic with our cat and dog. Shes friendly, followed our instructions, and was always super prompt and communicative - even helping us bring in a package. It’s so nice to find a reliable sitter in our new neighborhood. We’ll definitely be rebooking with her - thanks again Katia ☺️
Lisa was absolutely amazing! She watched our two cats and took such great care of them while we were away. She sent lots of updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind and made it clear our cats were happy, comfortable, and loved. She was reliable, thoughtful, and truly went above and beyond. We would absolutely recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy cat sitter!
Awesome guy! 2nd time hiring Colin to drop in our cat, Charlie. He is super communicative and we forgot to remind him on anything and he knew what to do and how to take care of her. She really enjoys his company and I love his pics of their time together. Colin is our go to!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hoboken on Rover is $26.75 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 27,729 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.
