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.
“Baris continually is one of the best cat sitters I could ask for. He is always super helpful and caring and provides so much extra comfort while I’m away. It helps that my cat also loves him, one of the best for sure, could not recommend him enough”
“She is absolutely the best! She was supposed to drop in for 30 minutes, but she spent several hours and even took my dog to the dog park because she knew I’m overwhelmed with the bar exam and moving🥹🥹🥹 I can’t thank her enough and highly recommend her.”
“Rachel did a wonderful job caring for my kitties! I could tell she knew cats from the moment she met mine. She was able to watch them for me last minute on a holiday weekend and I am so happy with their care!”
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.
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 recently watched a kitten who is turning 1 soon and had a lot of fun so I’d be open to doing it again. I am a full time student and have a job outside of this. Pet care would be more during my weekends and free time. Seeing animals when not in class or working is such a reward! My current availability is Friday after 3 PM, anytime Saturday and Sunday, and before 5 PM on Monday. I have pet sit overnight in homes for dogs and cats. I learn quickly and take notes 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 love doing pet phone calls for clients who want to check in with their pet in real time! A quick FaceTime call can bring such ease to a pet parent and such joy to their pet.
“Javier took great care of my cat for two weeks and was always kind, reliable, and responsible. I truly appreciate his dedication and would definitely ask for his help again. Highly recommended.”
“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.”
“Couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Tez took such wonderful care of my cats during a snowstorm and difficult conditions. I would recommend her without hesitation!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Secaucus
Yisha is incredible with our cats. She makes you feel as if you are there with your pets through the amazing pictures she takes, really capturing their personalities. Yisha is extremely attentive to detail, quickly noticed the AC broke and was to install a fan to get our pets some fresh air while it got repaired. I could not recommend her enough.
I couldn't be happier with Brynne’s work! She followed all of my instructions to the letter and truly went above and beyond to make sure Harley was well taken care of. It was so reassuring to see how well she engaged and played with my cat during her time here— Harley absolutely loved the attention. Her communication was excellent and gave me complete peace of mind. I would gladly book her services again without hesitation. Highly recommended!
Marlene was absolutely amazing, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She took such wonderful care of my two cats while we were away, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such loving hands. She followed every instruction perfectly, made sure my boys were well-fed, and, most importantly, gave them so much love, attention, and affection. She even stayed overnight one of the nights to ensure my senior cat, Mumu, received his medication on time, which meant so much to me. Caring for a pet with medical needs requires patience and dedication, and she handled everything flawlessly. It’s clear that Marlene genuinely loves animals and treats them like they’re her own. She went above and beyond, and I came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, compassionate, reliable, and attentive, Marlene is the person to call. I would trust her with my boys again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Marlene, for taking such incredible care of Mumu and Speedy!
This was our first time having Deanna care for our two kitties and I am so happy that we found her. We were anxious to leave our fur babies to go on an overseas trip, but Deanna's well written and thoughtful updates truly put us at ease and it was clear that she read and followed our specific care instructions. I could see from the photos that the kitties were comfortable in her presence. It pleasantly surprised me that even my super shy one came out when she was there, and approached her more closely with each passing day. She understands that they have their individual personalities and respected that in her interactions with them. Deanna even went above and beyond when I asked her to leave nuts out each day for the baby squirrels that visit our deck. We were so pleased with her level of care and will definitely seek her out when the need arises in the future.

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

- 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
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.
