“Taylor took amazing care of our cat!! She sent a ton of photos and kept us updated the whole time. Will definitely be requesting her next time we’re out of town!!! Thank you Taylor!!”
“Morgan took excellent care of our dog!! Our dog can be nervous when we’re gone for a long time, but Morgan helped her feel comfortable. She kept us updated on Ollie and I can tell Ollie had a great time. Highly recommend Morgan as your dog sitter!”
“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!”
“Jehiny watched our pups for an extended stay! They were cared for, safe, and definitely seemed to have fun! We got regular updates with photos and maps of their walks. It was really comforting to see how they all bonded :) and our girls are HIGH ENERGY.”
“This is the third time Angelina has pet sit for us and she is amazing every time! I feel confident that my dog and my home will be well cared for every time Angelina sits for us☺️”
“Raphael did a wonderful job of watching my senior dog Fermi when I had to leave on a last minute work trip. He is great with dogs and Fermi was very happy and affectionate with him from the initial meeting. I really appreciated that he was very communicative with regular updates and lots of pictures, and he also left the apartment in immaculate condition. I would definitely ask Raphael to house sit again next time I am out of town and highly recommend him!”
About: I’ve always been a big animal lover and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them attention and care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m available for walks every day as well as pet sitting during the week. I’m flexible and can adjust to your pet’s schedule and needs. I provide a quiet, calm, and safe environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow their usual routine closely, including feeding, playtime, and litter care, and always respect their space and personality.

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!”
“Celine is the best. She came and met our little guy a week before hand. She made sure to arrange and align with us on everything beforehand. She kept in constant contact with us, sharing pictures, checking in, asking questions. And she left everything perfectly in order, with our pup smiling and happy to greet us when we got home. Like I said. The best.”

She took excellent care of Luna and respected her daily routines, including her walks and playtime. She kept me updated throughout the stay by sending me videos and letting me know how Luna was doing. She was especially patient with Luna’s picky eating habits. I also want to mention that when we returned home, the house was clean and in perfect condition. Most importantly, Luna was happy and doing very well, even though she is very attached to me.”
“Kenine was amazing taking care of Shyra. We had just lost our husky, Kodi, and were concerned about Shyra being alone. Kenine gave Shyra all the love, kept us updated on her status, and left us a beautiful photo memorial of Kodi when we came home. Above and beyond doesn’t even come close.”
About: Hello and welcome! My name is Baris — thank you for visiting my profile. I’ve cared for a wide range of pets for over 15 years, including dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, tortoises, and guinea pigs, and I treat every one of them as a cherished member of the family. I’m calm, patient, and highly detail-oriented, with experience handling pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments — from playful puppies and strong leash-pullers to shy rescues and seniors who need gentle reassurance. I also have an athletic build, which comes in handy when assisting with pets who need help with mobility, require lifting for transport, or simply have plenty of energy to burn during walks and playtime. My goal is always to help pets feel comfortable, secure, and happy in their own home and routine while you’re away. Communication and reliability are at the heart of how I work. I provide regular updates and photos, respond promptly, and approach every booking with professionalism, consistency, and genuine care. My daytime pet-care hours generally fall between 9 AM and 5 PM, and I’m happy to accommodate early or late visits and overnights with advance notice when possible. Outside of pet care, my sister and I enjoy running a small business creating hand-drawn pet portraits, and I’m an aspiring singer who performs with a local chorus in the New York City area. My rehearsal evenings are typically Monday and Thursday, which can keep some nights busy, but they also allow me to maintain a flexible daytime schedule — perfect for dependable, attentive care throughout the week, including most weekends and holidays. Other than those rehearsal nights, I’m generally available during the week for walks and in-home visits to keep your pets cared for and content. At home, my family and I share our lives with several adopted cats, so I’m very familiar with the needs and rhythms of multi-pet households — from feeding and scooping to cleaning, playtime, and giving each pet the attention they deserve. I understand how important it is to maintain every animal’s individual routine, and I’ll follow your instructions carefully to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. For clients located farther from my base area, a small location surcharge may apply when travel exceeds approximately 19 minutes one-way; this typically includes certain areas such as parts of Jersey City, West New York, and Newark. I’m always happy to confirm travel details in advance before finalizing a booking.
“Breanna was very responsive and took great care of Fitz. He is shy and cautious by nature, but seemed very comfortable and happy in the photos and when I returned. I think he had a great time!”

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!
Our dog Mabel had the best time with Madison! She babysat overnight and sent us pictures each day and before bed. It was clear Mabel was so well taken care of and having a great time. I would recommend Madison to anyone who is looking for something to care for their pet she is amazing!!
Stephanie took great care of my dog Goose and was flexible to help with his care while I went on vacation. 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!
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!

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.

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.
