About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 12 and have experience with dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, and fish! I currently have a puppy, a cat, and three parakeets, so caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I’ve also looked after family members’ and friends pets many times, giving them the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets. I know every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving, reliable hands. I have a consistent weekday schedule and plenty of availability outside of work. I work Monday-Friday from 7 AM to 2 PM and am available for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I enjoy making time for animals and providing dependable care, attention, and companionship when they need it most. I care for pets by following their normal routines, providing plenty of attention, playtime, feeding, walks, and affection. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while respecting their space and needs. I always treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

About: As a dog dad and future medical doctor, I bring a unique blend of compassion, responsibility, and attention to detail to pet care. My experience in healthcare has trained me to be observant, reliable, and adaptable, which are qualities that are essential when caring for pets. I understand the importance of trust and consistency, especially for senior pets or those with special needs. Whether it’s keeping up with high-energy dogs, providing gentle care for older pets, or administering medications, I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. As a student currently applying to medical school, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive pet care. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I can adapt to fit your pet’s needs. My routine is structured yet flexible, ensuring that your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you’re away! As a dog dad myself that has used Rover on numerous occasions, I know how important it is to find a sitter you can trust. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s. I follow owner instructions closely, maintain routines, and ensure plenty of exercise, play, and affection. With my healthcare background and attention to detail, I’m always mindful of a pet’s well-being, keeping an eye out for any signs of discomfort or distress. Your furry friend will be in responsible, loving hands—just like I’d want for my own dog.

About: I’ve had pets all my life, including some reptiles! I currently take care of two cats and a sweet ball python. I’m great with cats and dogs, and I’m able to correctly give medicine and cut their nails if needed. I know how pets can be the most important part of our lives, and it’s our duty to love them and provide them the best service. I’m doing part time currently, so I’m available Wednesday and Thursday and Saturday and Sunday. I’m mostly available all day during that schedule for any activities! I live in an apartment with my two cats who if needed can be put in a separate room. I always like to sweep and vacuum all areas to avoid due to accumulate, I always like to give them treats an hour before meals, as well as clean their water and food bowls once a day

“Downloaded the app because I was going out of town for the 1st time since the pandemic began; and the first time me leaving my car by herself for more than 10 hours. I came across Lola’s profile and booked her for 3-4 visits. She was absolutely amazing and did a wonderful job sitting my cat. She was very communicative and provided lots of assurance that eased my anxiety. My cat LOVED her! I will definitely be booking her again as I begin to book more trips. Thank you Lola !!”

Please drop a message so we can figure out the schedule!

“Reggie was greatly taken care of during this drop-in visit booking! As he's going through a couple ailments right now, we were worried to leave him in anothers care. However, not only did they give him lots of love and playtime, they also were able to give him eye medication, and inhaler, and his steroid pill! They also sent over many photos, updates, and were incredibly communicative. I will be rebooking, thank you for taking such great care of Reggie <3”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a young kid, as my family had a very energetic, strong medium sized dog. She taught me how to play with animals and proper care for female dogs. Most recently, I have gained experience with puppy care, as I helped raise our golden. Unfortunately, he passed this year after a bout with lymphoma, but that experience taught me how to care for a dog with a terminal illness, and how to love and support them through that time. I work full time 5 days a week, but I have ample time after work to care for your pet, with my weekends completely free of obligation. I am mindful and respectful of your wishes for your pet, as I was myself that pet owner that travelled with a large crate, frozen food, and a large bag full of things every time we took him to stay with a host. Tell me what you need and I can accommodate.

About: Hello, neighbors! My name is Min, and I’m a technical writer and editor. For many years, I shared my life with a sweet Pomeranian who was so much more than a pet—she was my best friend and, in every sense, my little girl. Even though she’s been gone for some time, I still find a little piece of her in the eyes of every animal I meet. Some of my happiest memories are of spending time with my own little one, as well as with my friends’ dogs and cats. Those experiences are what inspired me to join Rover in the first place! 🐾 Ever since moving to NYC, one of my greatest joys has been getting to know my neighbors’ four-legged family members, saying hello, and spending a little time playing with them. I’m always happy to go the extra mile to make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and cared for. To me, every dog and cat is special, and I genuinely cherish the time I get to spend with them. So please, say hello! I’d love to meet you and your furry family members. And who knows? If they’re interested, I could even teach them a little Korean! 😂🇰🇷 Perhaps we can start with a few K-dramas on Netflix. 🐾🤗 Hello, I currently have a full-job, but hours are flexible and I usually work from home! Please, let me know if your pets have any special games that they like to play. Your dogs/cats will be my sole focus when I am with them! Please, let me know if your pets have any special games that they like to play.

About: I'm Back and Excited to Care for Your Fur Babies!! 🐾 After taking some time away to help my daughter with my new grandchildren, I'm excited to be back on Rover! Caring for animals has always brought me so much joy, and I'm looking forward to welcoming your furry family member into my home. I've had dogs and cats my entire life and have always been the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends. I recently lost my sweet dog of 15 years, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I promise to care for yours with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want for my own. Why pet parents choose me: ❤️ Loving, calm, home environment 🐶 Pets are welcome on my couch and bed (unless you prefer otherwise!) 🐱 Experienced with both cats and dogs 💊 Comfortable giving oral medications 🏠 Pet-friendly building with great walking areas nearby 📸 Daily photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing 🛏️ Large 42-inch crate available if your dog is crate-trained 🐈 Large litter box available for feline guests My Schedule I work Monday through Thursday about 20 minutes from home, so I come home at lunchtime for potty breaks and walks when needed. On Fridays I work from home, and I'm home most weekends, so your pet gets plenty of attention and companionship. Every pet has their own personality and routine, and I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys playing, cuddling, relaxing, or simply sticking to their normal schedule, I'll make sure they feel right at home. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member! I work Monday - Thursday 9 to 5 twenty mins from home so I can come home at lunchtime to walk or feed your fur baby if necessary and I work from home on Fridays! I also wake up at 6 am every day so I can walk and/or feed your pet before I leave to work Mon-Thurs. Friday - Sunday I am home all day. I love snuggling and playing with pets so they can hop on the couch or bed with me or I can easily crate your dog if needed! I have waterproof protective pet covers on my furniture so that's all covered! Additionally, My dog had health issues so I got pretty good at giving him his pills with pill pockets etc! I also have my own large dog crate (42 inches). So no need to bring a crate if your dog requires a crate! I also have a large kitty litter tray.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every size and kind for family friends and neighbors. They have relied on me to bathe, feed, walk, and care for their pets. I am currently working part time and I am available a few days out the week so it varies every week depending when I am needed. I have a 3 year old cockapoo and all she loves to do is play. She’s friendly and introductions matter to dogs so being attentive to the client’s pets reaction to my dog matters most to me.

About: Hi! My name is Hayward, and caring for dogs has been a part of my everyday life for years.

I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll provide updates, photos, and plenty of attention to give you peace of mind.

Safety is always my top priority, and I’ll provide photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

This was our first time working with Hayley. She was incredibly patient, kind and understanding of our seniors (one with special needs), and genuinely invested in learning each of their particular personalities. Moving to a new area and having to start over in finding trustworthy care for our little grandpas has been a challenge to say the least. We are grateful to have connected with Hayley and cannot recommend her care enough.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Secaucus

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Secaucus is $31 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $50 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 26,681 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Secaucus. 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Secaucus choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Secaucus with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Secaucus. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.

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.
