About: I have the unique perspective of being both a "dog person" and a "cat person". I grew up caring for my lively Jack Russell Terrier and I now live with my two cats. I have a deep love for all animals and I am highly attentive to their needs and health. As a college student, I have a very light schedule over the summer, so I have plenty of time to spend caring for your pets! I am very attentive to your pets' needs. I have experience safely walking dogs of all sizes, letting them enjoy themselves while still keeping them secure. I am cautious when it comes to keeping the house secure when checking in and making sure they are eating well.
About: Hello! I’m Mahia, a passionate dog lover with years of experience caring for our furry friends. I believe every dog deserves to feel loved and pampered, just like my own dog, Cookie, who lived like a princess! I’m committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment for your pup, ensuring they feel right at home with my patient and love for dogs. Let’s make every moment special for your dog! I can easily integrate pet care into my daily schedule as I have flexible hours and mostly working from home, and a routine that allows me to dedicate time to ensure your pet gets the attention they need. I have a dedicated area in my backyard for dogs to do their business, which helps keep things convenient and clean. Additionally, there’s a beautiful boardwalk next to the water, perfect for a peaceful two-mile walk, and a dog park nearby for some extra fun and socialization. Your dog will have plenty of space to play, exercise, and enjoy the outdoors.

About: I love caring for and being around animals. I have more than 5 years of experience caring for pets. They’re precious and deserve tender care. I have cared for dogs and cats through check ins, walks, and house sitting. I have mostly watched dogs or cats 3-4 or older. I have recently watched a kitten who is turning 1 soon and had a lot of fun so I’d be open to doing it again. I am a recent graduate starting a new job in counseling. Pet care would be more during my weekends and free time. Seeing animals when off work is such a reward! My current availability is spontaneous due to my varying work schedule so I always make sure to keep my availability on my calendar up to date. I have pet sit overnight in homes for dogs and cats. I learn quickly and take notes to assure I care for any pet well. I like to ask clients about what they typically do with their pet in a day that their pet will expect outside of feeding and walking time. This might include playing with toys once they come home for 15 minutes or treats after walks. I love doing pet phone calls for clients who want to check in with their pet in real time! A quick FaceTime call can bring such ease to a pet parent and such joy to their pet.
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely love dogs and have had them as part of my family ever since I was a kid. Caring for dogs has always come naturally to me, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand that each dog has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also provide enjoyable, engaging walks tailored to each dog’s energy level and needs, making sure they get the exercise, attention, and fun they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, reliable hands. I have a pretty flexible day job, which allows me to easily fit walks, drop-in visits, and pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Because of that flexibility, I’m also available for pet sitting when needed and can provide reliable care and attention throughout the day. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I am very thorough and make sure each pet has everything they need, including food, water, exercise, comfort, and companionship. I pay close attention to their routines and individual needs, and I always aim to keep them happy, safe, and well cared for. I would apply the same level of care, responsibility, and attentiveness to my client’s pets as I do with my own.

About: To me, pets are family, and that’s exactly how I’ll treat yours with patience, kindness, love, and the same level of care I’d want for my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend and provide a safe, fun, and loving experience they’ll look forward to every time! Monday–Friday: Available after 3:30 PM Saturday & Sunday: Available all day for pet care. Need a different time? Feel free to reach out—I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule! I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can truly trust. I promise to care for your furry family member with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Their safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow their routine, provide plenty of love and affection, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands.
About: I have owned a variety of pets in my life including cats, dogs, turtles, tortoises, lizards, birds, snakes, dwarf hamsters, hermit crabs, rats, and ferrets. I also have extensive horse care experience through friends and riding programs. I work in a nursing home so I have a flexible schedule and am experienced in dealing with pets that need daily medication, including intramuscular shots. I work at a school in Brooklyn during the week so I am only available after school hours but on breaks I have more availability. I also have lots of weekend availability Pets are family. I spoil my own babies and would love to spoil your pets as well as they are coping with not having you around. During the day it would need to be a quicker stop in however, if it’s first thing in the morning or in the evening I can do longer visits
“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!”


About: I was a proud dog mom for over 20 years. While my beloved pups have since crossed the rainbow bridge, my love for dogs has never faded. I enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand the importance of providing them with patience, attention, and care. I would love the opportunity to treat your furry family member as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for them is something I genuinely look forward to each day. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions and respect each pet’s unique personality, routine, and boundaries. I believe patience and consistency are important in building trust. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Whether that means playtime, belly rubs (if they’re willing!), companionship, or long walks when weather and the pet’s needs allow, I will provide attentive care and treat them as if they were my own.

I also maintain clear communication with owners and provide updates for peace of mind.
“Julia was extremely quick, responsive and understanding to a last-minute drop in request I had sent out on Christmas Eve. When I was worried I would have no one to watch my Nori over the holidays, Julia came through and was very transparent about what she needed in order to gjve Nori the best care! She was super flexible and sent frequent pictures and updates and let me know whenever she would need some flexibility on her end, which I was happy to accommodate! I will definitely be considering her in the future if I ever need a cat sitter again! :)”

About: Hi! I’m Natalia, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. Activities like walking, being in nature, and staying active are a big part of my lifestyle, which naturally fits well with caring for pets. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs with different personalities and needs. I’ve cared for three cats, including two that were very calm and affectionate, and one that was initially more distant and cautious. With patience and a gentle approach, I was able to build trust over time, helping the cat feel more comfortable and open to interaction. I’ve also cared for a small dog with hip dysplasia. I followed the owner’s instructions closely to support the dog’s comfort, including gentle handling and basic massage. Since the dog couldn’t use stairs, I would carefully carry them when needed. This experience taught me to be attentive, patient, and mindful of a pet’s physical limitations. What sets me apart is my patience and attention to detail. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always adapt my care accordingly. Whether it’s an energetic pet that needs engagement or a more sensitive one that needs space, I focus on creating a calm and safe environment. I’m reliable and respectful of routines, including feeding, walks, and any specific care instructions. My goal is to make pets feel secure and cared for, while giving owners complete peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet and create a positive, stress-free experience for both of you. My schedule is structured, but I offer reliable availability for specific types of care. I work in the afternoons and evenings (typically from 4:00 PM to around 11:00 PM), so I’m not available during those hours. However, I have flexibility in the mornings and early afternoons, especially if scheduled in advance. From Tuesday to Saturday, I can often accommodate morning visits or adjust my schedule when needed. I’m also available for overnight stays if your pet needs care during the night. Sundays and Mondays are my most flexible days, with greater availability throughout the day—especially Mondays. I’m happy to coordinate with pet owners to find a schedule that works best for both sides while ensuring pets receive consistent and attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always aim to follow their usual routines as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. I make sure the environment is clean, safe, and calm, and I’m respectful of the client’s home at all times. I also provide updates and photos, so owners can feel reassured while they are away. My priority is to create a stress-free experience for both the pet and the owner by being attentive, reliable, and caring.

“Rivera was absolutely amazing! She was wonderful with our 3 cats. One is very shy and doesn’t come out for anyone other than mom or dad and she understood that. We have two more that are just about a year old, and they really seemed to enjoy her visits while we were away on vacation. She had no problem taking care of our babies with the instructions we provided, and times asked for. She also provided many pictures, which I loved! We would recommend her, and will definitely be using her service again in the future!”


“Andrew was so attentive and caring with Greyson! I am so relieved that I was able to find another sitter that I’d feel comfortable leaving Greyson with. Will definitely be booking again in the future.”


“Leslie was reliable and helped us understand how everything worked since we were Rover.com first timers. We really appreciated the regular communication and all the pics Leslie sent while checking in on our dog. I'd recommend Leslie to anyone.”

About: Hi my name is Elle. I am an animal lover, advocate, and a volunteer at a local animal shelter. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and have had a natural affinity for all kinds of animals. I have boarded dogs for both short-term and long-term stays (months to years). I understand the unique needs of different breeds and adjust care accordingly. I understand dog behavior, and needs-your dog is family, and I treat them as such. Full-Time, Dog Care - A Safe, Loving Home for Your Dog.

Photo updates at least 3 times daily - so you can feel connected to your dog while you're away. I strictly follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, play preferences, and routines and only feed the food you provide, ensuring your dog's diet remains consistent.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Secaucus
Rachel was an amazing pet sitter for my babies! When I arrived home, everything was spotless, clean, and well taken care of. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly received lots of love and attention while I was away. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!

Victoria was fabulous! She took care of our epileptic dog while we were on vacation, making sure he had his medicine on time every day, twice a day. He adores her! Even though we were on the other side of the world, we never had to worry about him. Our other dog is afraid of her own shadow, but I saw her warming up very slowly to Victoria. I can’t wait to book her for more visits.

We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Julia went above and beyond in every way—keeping us updated regularly, sending photos, and truly caring for our pet as if it were her own. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Reliable, kind, and attentive—we highly recommend her!

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.

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!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
