“Madison was so incredible with Nala! She took really great care of her and sent me lots of updates, and took great care of the apartment. She went above and beyond to help Nala as Nala had recently had surgery, and was wonderful to work with.”
“Harley was amazing! Our original sitter canceled super last minute, and she stepped in to help us over the long weekend. She took such great care of Nala, gave her lots of love and attention, kept us updated regularly, and left the house clean and well cared for. We were so grateful she was able to help on such short notice and would absolutely book with her again!”
“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!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Candiance! She was so communicative throughout her stay with our dog and provided us with amazing photos and videos. She sent daily updates and our dog was so happy he barely even noticed we were gone. If I could give 10 stars I would!”
About: I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love for you pets. I've cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and friends and family often trust me with their pets when they're away. I work Monday-Friday full time, but I have flexibility to work from home so my schedule is flexible. I'm happy to arrange my schedule as needed. I am easily adaptable to different environments so I will stick to ground rules set by the client. Strong communicator so will make sure everything goes smoothly.
“True life saver thank you so much Emily!! She was communicative, such a delight to host in my apartment, and took such great care of Rusty. She came to me when I was especially in a pinch too!!”
“Natalia was great with our boys and took great care of our home. She looked after them for a week while we were in Greece and sent frequent updates — our kitties love her. She was very attentive to their needs and when we had a bit of an issue with our fridge too. Will definitely be seeking her services again in future.”
“Alison has taken care of my 3 dogs overnight a few times now. They’re a lot and she does great! I come home and my dogs are happy and clearly have been loved while I’m out. She also handles one of my dogs eye medications for which I am very grateful!”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I actually begged my parents to let me get a dog, promising them that I would be responsible and take great care of him—and I’ve kept that promise ever since! Taking care of my own dog has taught me how much patience, attention, and love pets need every day. I’ve taught my dog eight different tricks, and I love spending time training, playing, and going on walks with him. Whenever I’m at my grandma’s, I always make sure to walk and spend time with her dog too. More recently, I’ve started dog-sitting for friends, which has given me even more experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a freelance dancer, so I have a flexible schedule and make my own hours. This allows me to make time in my day to give pets the attention and care they need. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping your pet company, and I’m happy to work around their normal routine. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I’m flexible and willing to adjust my schedule to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they are always in a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special routines or rules. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep pets away from anything unsafe, and always pay attention to their behavior and needs. I want every pet to feel comfortable, loved, and at home while their owner is away. I’ll also keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better Rover sitter! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, sending regular updates and making us feel completely at ease. It honestly seemed like Winnie had the best time with her—I’m not even sure she missed us! She was also so respectful of our apartment. It’s such a relief to come home to a happy pup and a home that’s just as clean as we left it. We would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Winnie!”
“Jose took care of my dog, Yogi, for three days and stayed at my home while I was away. He was very responsive throughout the entire stay and consistently kept me updated with photos and messages from Yogi’s morning and evening walks. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing Yogi was being well cared for. Everything went smoothly, and Yogi was happy and comfortable when I returned. I really appreciated Jose’s communication, reliability, and attention to detail. I would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Stephanie was kind and caring - she did a great job taking care of both our animals and our house. She even got our shy one to eat! Thank you so much for granting us peace of mind while we were out of town. Our girls had a great time and we would definitely use her again!”
“Genesis was amazing!! She kept me up to date with cute pictures and took such good care of my dog, giving her so much love and attention! I can’t recommend her enough!!”
About: I love spending time with both dogs and cats and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I especially enjoy taking dogs on walks, giving them plenty of exercise, and taking them to the park when appropriate. I also offer drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, potty breaks, companionship, and lots of attention. I’m a cat lover too and enjoy caring for cats while keeping their routines as normal and comfortable as possible. If your pet is farther from my home or needs more company, I’m also available for house sitting and can stay in your home with them. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, and I always keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. 🐾 Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I make sure each pet receives plenty of attention and care. I’m available for drop-in visits and other pet care services during the week and on weekends. I’m flexible and happy to work with each owner’s schedule and their pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow all feeding, litter box, medication, and care instructions provided by the owner. I respect each cat’s personality and boundaries, keep their environment clean and secure, and provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Ajax was so great with Ollie! Gave us plenty of pictures and most importantly gave Ollie lots of love! Would absolutely have him sit Ollie again and highly recommend :)”
“Gwendolyn did great work house sitting Coco and communicated very well throughout. She left our house in pristine conditions. Thank you Gwendolyn and I look forward to working with you again.”
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!
“Tori is dependable and conscientious and is truly someone we trust with our home and our pets. Each time Tori has taken care of our dog and cat we come home to very happy pets who clearly enjoy her companionship. We love the pictures Tori sends when we are away and the stories that go with them. Hopefully we will be able to have Tori back soon.”

Daniella is the absolute BEST! She took amazing care of our dog Oliver and gave him so much love during our week long trip. We got daily updates and pictures and Oliver seemed so comfortable, happy, and doted on throughout the stay. She also took great care of our apartment! She is very caring and genuine- highly recommend! We will definitely reach out again ♥️
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!!
Brooke was amazing with my puppy Louie! She was on time, caring, and attentive, and sent me updates throughout the day with pictures, which I really appreciated. It was such a pleasure having her watch my little boy Louie, and I would absolutely love to have her watch him again. I highly recommend Brooke!
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!
Yisha was outstanding with her care and support. Her update was fabulous and more than what we've asked for. Even when Rumy and Kkumi messed up the bedsheet, she went and washed them for us! We would definitely recommend her for any of our upcoming trips for sure!
We had a great experience with Salette while we were away from Wednesday through Sunday. Mushi and Lola were calm, happy, and well cared for when we returned which is always the best sign. She was kind, communicative, and easy to work with throughout the stay. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals and I felt comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands. I would absolutely use her services again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter <3
We had a wonderful experience with her! She was incredibly kind, communicative, and attentive with our two puppies, Leia and Ken. From the moment we met her, we felt comfortable leaving them in her care. She kept us updated, followed instructions carefully, and treated our pups as if they were her own. Leia and Ken were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we returned. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were with someone so patient and loving. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of our babies! 🐶🤍
Saldin was great with both our foster and actual pup. She made sure to follow the instructions and took extra care to cuddle with our babies while we were away. Everything was left neat and clean in our apartment. Gurb, who is usually so shy and anxious around new people, opened up just fine with her. It would be an easy yes to have her watch Henry and future fosters <3 thank you so much Saldin for taking care of our pups!
Natalia is a hero! This is the second time she has watched our dog and she has been incredible. My dog is very high maintenance and picky in behavior, food and almost anything else and Natalia meets all his needs. While we were thousands of miles away, our dog had several emergency situations in which Natalia knew how to handle right on the spot. I would recommend her 1000%!

FAQs for House Sitting - Secaucus
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Secaucus on Rover is $59.94 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 19,282 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Secaucus. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
