“Candiance is so thorough in everything she does. I got so many detailed updates and photos while she was caring for my pup. I felt very comfortable with her in my home, taking care of my baby. Highly recommend!”
“Richard was fantastic. He wasn’t available for our full trip, but immediately offered to pair up with his girlfriend to cover the full time if we were okay with that while also being clear that he’d understand if we weren’t. They both came over to meet us and our super-senior cat, Mad Eye, ahead of time and were very communicative while we were gone, sending lots of pictures and updates on her eating and medication. They were also very helpful and accommodating when we had an unexpected change in travel plans last minute and very respectful of our space. We’d absolutely use either or both of them again!”
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!
“Tracy was absolutely wonderful with Daisy! She took such great care of her and gave me peace of mind knowing Daisy was in good hands while I was away. She was caring, attentive, and made sure Daisy was comfortable and well cared for. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave Daisy, and I would absolutely recommend Tracy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and caring pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“She took care of my dog as best as she could and in the most horrible time crunch. The one thing i can say is that my dog was pleased with her and I was pleased with her. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Becka has watched our dog twice now and both times has been so good updating us and willing to stay as long as we need! Definitely recommend and we will be using her for awhile :)”

We can tell she really understands and loves dogs and very trustworthy. THANK YOU!!”

I needed Stephanie to watch Goose for the last day of my trip because my normal dog sitter wasn't available then. Stephanie put in the effort to come meet Goose before I left and to hand-off with another Rover sitter during my trip while I was away. Thanks again!”
About: I have had a dog my entire life, I love dogs! I enjoy going on walks and hanging out with doggies. I have watched my best friends new puppy quite a bit and took care of my family dog Marni when she was a puppy. I will love your doggie like they are my own and play with them until they tire out. Animals are the best. I work in midtown manhattan a 9-5 M-F but it’s pretty lenient. I’m off weekends and totally free for your pets! I can leave work to go check on your pet whenever as well. I play with them, rub their belly, feed them, take them on walks. I enjoy spending times with dogs and will do mostly everything with them if I can.
“Badr is on time and very thoughtful with my dog. Our consultation was mindful of time and he followed new instructions. His walks are energetic and his check ins are thorough. You very up date photos and report card. He's clean and gives my dog ample interactions with outside, toys, cuddles, etc.”
“Bree was amazing with Ludo and Bowie! Super communicative and sent lots of pictures while we were away for a long weekend. Left the house spotless and even ran the laundry. The pups obviously enjoyed their time and perked up when I mentioned Bree's name. Thank you! Will absolutely book again.”
About: I am a passionate and responsible pet caregiver, committed to providing your furry companion with the best care possible. I understand how important your pet is to you, which is why I strive to offer personalized attention, adapting to their needs and ensuring they feel loved and safe at all times. My daily pet care routine includes providing personalized attention to ensure their well-being. Each morning, I start with proper feeding and a walk to ensure they get exercise and enjoy the outdoors. During the day, I offer playtime and mental stimulation, adjusting to each pet's specific needs. In the afternoon, I take them for a second walk, provide more playtime, and check their coat, nails, and ears. Each evening, a short walk before bedtime, ensuring your pet feels calm and comfortable before resting. If necessary, I also provide additional care like administering medication or special treatments, always maintaining a loving and trusting connection with your pet. **Safety, Trust & Environment** When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. I ensure a pet-proof environment by removing any hazards and making sure they have enough space to explore safely. In my home, pets have a dedicated, calm space where they can rest and relax, and I supervise them closely during playtime or outdoor activities. In the client's home, I respect their routine, follow any specific instructions for the pet's care, and maintain a familiar environment to reduce stress. I also ensure the house is secure and the pet has access to food, water, and a comfortable resting area at all times. Building trust with both the pet and the owner is essential, so I maintain open communication and provide updates as needed.

Madison is outstanding!! She took care of our boys (cats) like her own. We came back and they were so content and happy. She played, rub took really good care of them. She sent pictures and videos which really helped put ease to my husband knowing they were well and eating good. Thank you Madison and we will definitely reaching out to her again.
Ariana really helped us out with a last minute sitting request. She was responsive and came early for a meet-and-greet to make sure everything would go well. When I returned, my dog was happy and the apartment was in order. Ariana is a great choice if you need someone to stay with your pet while you’re away!
Bria was an absolute dream. We had originally booked her for 10 days to stay at our home with our cat and dog, but was totally amendable to adding my parents dog as well. She sent us daily updates and I could tell from the photos and videos that our babes were acting as they would when we're home, which is the best feeling in the world. We will absolutely be working with her going forward. Nothing is more reassuring when you're away then knowing your babies are cared for!!
Truly a 5 star sitter!! I've used Aniko before and just like always she's super attentive and is so great about following my cats schedule. They are a bit older and prickly but she totally adapted. Beyond that she took care of my place, my plants and apartment were also in amazing shape when I got back which was such a pleasure. Will definitely keep booking with her!
We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! She took such great care of Oreo while we were away. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Oreo was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We truly appreciate her kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Oreo!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Secaucus is $55 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $168 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 19,208 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Secaucus. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Secaucus walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Secaucus maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
