About: I’ve had animals all my life including cats, dogs, and I had a rabbit once. I’ve helped take care of sick dogs and cats, and have taken care of puppies and kittens. I was also apart of my animal club in high school where I got to donate to animal shelters and interacted with animals in that setting. I have a flexible schedule, so pet care can easily be a regular part of my day and week. I really enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to structure my routine around their needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, loved, and well taken care of while their family is away. I care for every pet as if they were my own! I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while sticking to their normal routine as much as possible. I’m happy to follow any feeding, walking, medication, playtime, or bedtime instructions you provide. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and make sure their space stays clean and comfortable. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.
“I am so happy we found Candiance to check in on our doggy. She is so patient and understanding to our dog’s needs. She has great communication and it was easy for me to trust her to care for our dog.”
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 watched a few senior dogs and one kitten before, I would do it again. Communication is key for me so as long as you tell me the dogs needs, I will follow them. I am a recent graduate starting a new job. 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 would love to come home to your pets, check in on them, and spend time with them when I am not working. Caring for animals in my free time brings me great joy and I feel the animals can sense that from me so we have a good time together. I have pet sit overnight in homes for dogs and cats. I learn quickly and take notes during meet and greets 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 take pictures throughout my time with the pets to keep the owner(s) updated on what’s happening.
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.
“Daisy was extremely punctual and so easy to communicate with. She treated my cat with extreme love and care. She updated me with multiple pictures and videos and I could be at ease when I was away. Highly recommend her”
About: I have 4 years of personal pet care experience and 1 year in professional experience with pets, from dog walking to doggy daycares! I’ve dog walked many senior dogs, as well as dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ll be sure to follow any requests needed to bond with your fur baby and make sure they have the best time! I’ve worked with many companies from daycares to walking businesses. But I’ve been a personal dog walker for around a year now and I’d love to form a strong bond with your pups when needed! I shower my dogs with cuddles and loads of pet time at home. Once I can build a special bond with your fur baby I’ll be sure to treat them like my own!
About: Hi, I’ve had many dogs my whole entire life even puppies from Yorkshire terrier, miniature Doberman pinscher and Chihuahua. I was also a nanny/caretaker during college so have plenty of caregiving experience with transporting children. I have a small 10 pound Chihuahua. She gets along with any type of breed of dog as long as your dog does not bite. She is super friendly and loves to be around all the pets. I work in finance from home and have all day to pay attention / watch carefully and play with your dog while working and also relaxing. Since my small 10 pound Chihuahua is fairly small I prefer dogs less than 40 pounds if coming to my home. Some exceptions for a little bit over 40 lb. My dog does not bite or bark and loves to play all day with other dogs . If I come to your home I can do any dog greater than 100lb. I have a well-kept apartment with a nice balcony and a dog park located on site in my building complex with a beautiful walkable path and grass area to play.
About: I’ve been a pet lover my entire life and have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve had two dogs and a cat of my own and regularly care for pets belonging to friends and family, including walking, feeding, playtime and keeping them company. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and sizes, including puppies, seniors and multiple-pet households. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I make it a priority to follow your care instructions closely and make sure they feel comfortable, safe and loved while you’re away. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins and quality time with your pet. I’m attentive, reliable and communicative, and you can always expect plenty of photo updates! I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I’ve always given my own. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my day. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, sitting and boarding, and can spend plenty of time playing with and keeping your pet company. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding, walking and playtime schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding, walks, medications and any specific routines your pet is used to. I’m attentive to their behavior and will keep you updated with plenty of photos and communication while they’re in my care. For pets staying with me, I live in a spacious two-level, one-bedroom condo with no other pets, so they’ll have plenty of one-on-one attention in a calm environment. I’m also close to Overpeck Park, which is great for walks and outdoor time. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll treat them and your space with the same care and respect I would my own.
“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!”
“Nicole was wonderful during her drop in with our 4 yr old Samoyed. Our pup instantly took to her and Nicole was so kind, patient with her barking, and very attentive to our routine. She is super communicative, punctual, and gave our pup all of her attention. We had peace of mind that our pup was safe and will definitely book Nicole again!”
“Dan was awesome! He really helped us out on short notice and over a holiday weekend! Great communication and pictures of the kitties. 10/10 would use Dan’s services again!”
“Rivera was 10 out of 10 stars. The only reason I wouldn’t recommend her to someone is because I want to keep her for ourselves!!! She is the BEST of the BEST. The boys absolutely adored her. I can go on and on, but to keep it short we used her for our destination wedding week, all our close family and friends who we trust were with us so we were really in a jam, however rivera was god sent! All the wedding planning we had, the most stressful part was what to do with the dogs while we were away, rivera took every part of that stress away for us. Rivera if you are seeing this just know you made our wedding weekend complete!! Thank you a million times over again. The boys can not wait to see you again!!”
“Valeria was great with my cat! She was very responsive, punctual, and genuinely cares about what she does. I loved the pictures and updates she sent when I was away. Would highly recommend!”
About: I love dogs and understand that yours is part of your family. I have owned dogs for over 18 years (male german shepherd mix and female pitbull) and I know what makes them tick! I have experience walking fussy/reactive, even aggressive dogs, both big and small. I just can’t live without them. With reasonable notice, I am available pretty much all day long for dog walks and sits. I can always easily adjust my schedule and am very flexible when it comes to last minute arrangements. No issues moving dates around if my calendar is open. I have a fenced in yard and the house is plenty spacious. My goal is always to provide a safe and comfortable experience for your pet.

“Madison did a great job with our two cats. She was very communicative and gave us a detailed update on the days events. She also refilled the water and emptied the litter without me asking her to. We would gladly book her again!”
About: Have taken care of all kinds of dogs my whole life! Forming relationships with the dogs and making them feel comfortable is the best feeling :) They truly brighten my days. *I don’t have of my own dogs in my home while dog sitting, they’re in LI 🥺* I work 9-5 in hudson yards but if dogsitting can work remote from home!

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.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Secaucus 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.
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 .

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.
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.

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.
