About: I have experience with brachiocephalic breeds as I have three of my own! I have experience working as a Dog Handler at a popular doggy daycare who handled up to 30 dogs. I have experience with puppies and seniors with arthritis. I’m currently working full-time as a Medical Assistant at an Urgent Care and have a few days off during the week where I can fit walking your pup at a daily! I am very careful with anything that is laying out when it comes to my puppers especially living with two pugs who will eat anything and everything!
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: Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a household that hosted numerous foster dogs gave me hands-on, real-world experience with different breeds, behaviors, and energy levels. Today, that passion has trickled into my adult life as a dedicated pet caregiver. Whether it’s my own pets, family dogs, or a new foster pup, my lengthy experience means your best friend is always in safe, capable, and loving hands. Nutrition is important to me, so I make sure my dog is properly fed, but activity is equally as important. Everyday I fit a long outdoor hike or walk in for my dog! I am trustworthy with feed and keeping your pup active! I will walk, feed, play, and keep your pup safe. Whether we are in my home with a fenced yard, or at your home, your pup will be safe and happy!
“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! :)”
“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!”
“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’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have cared for dogs, cats, rats, fish, and ferrets since I was young. I’m patient, reliable, and love getting to know every pet’s personality. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them attention and comfort, I always make sure pets feel happy and safe while their owners are away. I’m currently available for pet care on Saturdays, Sundays, and one weekday each week depending on my school schedule. I’m doing this in my spare time because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I’m reliable, flexible when possible, and will always make sure your pets get plenty of attention, care, and playtime. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in both my home and my client’s home. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I’m patient with animals of different personalities and treat every pet like they are my own. Creating a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment is very important to me.
About: Experience walking and caring for dogs and cats. I have fostered several animals throughout college and have trained dogs of all ages. My own pet is AKC Caine Good Citizen Certified and I have a research background in dog Vet Care and can make adjustments to care based on breed and any current health issues. I make time to take my own pet out on adventures and I'd love to be able to take yours out for some fun as well! I'm vigilant of potential dangers with care for a pet outside of their home. I take notice of areas/ other pets to avoid and will physically step in to protect your pets boundaries.
About: I have taken care of every type of dog since I was 2! I am an avid dog lover, and I just finished housing foster puppies as well! :) I am currently working at home, so I am available at all times, and if I am not in the home my teenage daughter is. I offer a safe loving environment for your pups! My older dog recently passed away from old age (15), and my other dog is with my daughter in another state, so I am looking to dog sit until I am ready to have my own dog back with me!
About: Hello! My name is Alena, and working with animals is my true passion. I have extensive experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as an invaluable background working in the veterinary department of an animal center. I am also Fear Free trained, which means I use specialized techniques to prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress in pets. This experience allows me to understand dog behavior deeply and handle pets with special needs, anxiety, or high energy. At home, I have a cat named Amber who prefers not to live with dogs. Because of this, my home boarding is exclusively open to foster cats. I am happy to offer walking, drop-in visits and pet sitting. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to fully adapt to your pet's established routine. Whether it’s maintaining a strict feeding schedule, timely medication administration, or structured walks, I ensure their day looks exactly like it does when you are home. Keeping a consistent routine is key to minimizing stress. Safety is my top priority. Thanks to my experience in a veterinary shelter department and Fear Free training I create a secure environment for every pet. I strictly follow all care instructions, and keep a close eye on their well-being. I am fully confident in administering medications and maintaining emergency protocols if needed.
“Melanie came by for a visit just to get to know my kitty, Jinjin before I go away for a week. Melanie was great and was able to get Jinjin out of hiding which was awesome and very reassuring. I highly recommend her!”
“I completely trust Calvin to look after my two cats while I’m away. I always come back to find them happy and well cared for. He responds quickly and scheduling a visit with him is always easy. I really appreciate his help taking care of my cats.”
“Katherine watched our cat when we went away for the first time since getting him. She did such an incredible job of keeping us updated and letting us know how our cat was doing, giving us so much piece of mind knowing he was being taken care of so well. Our cat very clearly had a great time and liked Katherine very much. Katherine was also so understanding when our plans changed and was incredible flexible. We will 100% be asking her to watch our cat in the future when we go away. She did an amazing job.”
“Daisy was absolutely phenomenal! She took such great care of my cat. She always kept me up to date when coming, took loads of photos, left everything so tidy, and gave my cat lots of love. My cat is quite old and needs meds, she did a great job with that too!”
“Leslie as fantastic. I booked him last minute after finding out that I had an unexpected long evening at work. He kept me up to date on everything and followed all instructions. He sent tons of pics and played with Coco after feeding her. I would most definitely refer him to anyone looking for someone to care for their pup”
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Secaucus
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.

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 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.

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 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.
