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: Hi! I’m Janise. Traveling can bring out the best and the worst in anyone and I’m here to make that trip, whether it’s a quick getaway or a long haul, as easy as possible. Let me lend a hand! 🤚🏾 Between me, my husband, our kids, and our dog Frankie, your pet is walking into a full house of love. We have a large backyard where the dogs can run and play while working together as a family to make sure your fur baby gets the attention and love they deserve. Pet care fits in really well with our routine. I work, but I’m in and out of the house throughout the day, and so is my husband and teenage son, so there’s almost always someone around to walk, play with, and check on your pet. Weekends and holidays we’re all home, so your pet will get even more attention those days For boarding, your dog stays right in our home with the family they’ll have a dog to keep them company, a big backyard to run around in, and plenty of attention from all of us. They’re treated like part of the family, not just a guest. For walks, I keep things consistent with whatever routine your dog is used to same schedule, same pace, whatever works best for them. For pick up and drop off, I make sure the handoff is easy and stress free. I’ll communicate with you the whole time so you always know your pet is in good hands
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.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Secaucus
As always, we had a great experience with Rachel! She took great care of our cats and even cleaned up any messes they made. We really appreciated the detailed Rover cards with updates and pictures after each visit—it gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was also very communicative and responsive throughout. Our cats love Rachel too. Would definitely book Rachel again!
Deanna was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Micho. She took great care of him while we were away and sent us detailed updates every day, which gave us so much peace of mind. Micho is usually shy with new people, but he became very comfortable with her by the end, he was waiting for her, following her around the house, asking for pets, and even letting her pick him up. She also went above and beyond with his food, water, litter box, and even helped us deal with an unexpected ant problem around his food area. It was obvious that she really cared about him and spent quality time playing with him and giving him attention. We came home to a happy and well cared for cat. We would definitely trust Deanna with Micho again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.
Yisha is a true professional who genuinely loves animals and is so kind and caring for our cats! we are so fortunate to have met her. Our cats never go up to strangers at first even in our own home but during the meet and greet our kitties went straight to her and that’s when we knew Yisha was the one! We will continue trusting her home and kitties
Leila has cared for our cats multiple times now and she always goes above and beyond. She is reliable and communicative which makes all the difference for me. This trip I messaged her late about a food level notification and she was there bright and early to refill and feed them. I appreciate her commitment. Thanks Leila!
Rebecca was fantastic! She checked in a few days before to ensure everything was good to go and we found I needed a lock box for my keys, she had an extra one and let me borrow it! When I was overseas she would check in on my sweet ole lady everyday, provide her with her medicine and vitamin with the addition of 7 pictures everyday! I’ll definitely utilize her services again, and next time have a lock box of my own.
Alena was simply amazing with my cat Athena. She took care of her for over a week and always made sure she was happy and well cared for. After every drop-in, she would let me know how everything went, send me amazing pictures, and provide a detailed update. You can tell Alena truly loves animals. She’s caring, polite, and incredibly attentive. I felt completely at ease knowing Athena was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Alena to anyone looking for a wonderful and reliable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Alena!
Excellent service! took care of my cat for my vacation, and the experience was wonderful. They were very punctual with the visits, kept the litter box spotless, and always left the food and water bowls clean. I received daily photos and updates, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away.
Lauryn did a great job taking care of my cats. One of my cats is usually very shy and hides whenever someone visits, but he quickly warmed up to Lauryn and even spent time hanging out with her. This same cat can also create a mess, and Lauryn went above and beyond by cleaning up. Lauryn also shared photos and detailed notes through the Rover card, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated her care and would recommend her!

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Secaucus. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
