“Randi was great! She Took care of our two cats while we were out of town for the week. She made sure to take photos and keep us updated with how they were doing the whole time!”
About: While I'm new to Rover, I've spent years caring for dogs and other pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I've helped with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving pets attention while their owners were away. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I'm dependable, patient, and excited to provide loving care for your furry family members. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I am available on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays and have the flexibility to dedicate my time to walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and pet sitting. I enjoy spending time with animals and always make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, exercise, and affection while their owners are away. When caring for pets, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. In a client's home, I follow their pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and a clean environment. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to build trust and help them feel comfortable while their owners are away. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care and give pet owners peace of mind.
“Amanda took wonderful care of my sweet bunny girl while I was away. She followed all instructions carefully and was consistently on time for each visit. I especially appreciated that she removed her shoes upon entering the house and respected Holly’s environment. She sat calmly and quietly next to Holly’s playpen, which is exactly the kind of peaceful presence rabbits need. She was very pleasant, communicative, and attentive throughout the stay. I truly felt comfortable knowing Holly was in good hands, and I would absolutely book with Amanda again. Thank you Amanda, for giving me peace of mind while I was away!”

Monday–Friday: Available after 3:30 PM Saturday & Sunday: Available all day for pet care. Need a different time? Feel free to reach out—I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule! I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can truly trust. I promise to care for your furry family member with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Their safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow their routine, provide plenty of love and affection, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands.
“Melissa was such a delight! She had to spend a few hours resolving an issue with the keys with the front desk, but she handled it professionally, which meant she stayed for way longer than the 30min slot. She also took excellent care of Canéle during several visits over a two-week period. I really appreciated reading her detailed notes and seeing the beautiful photos and videos she shared.”
“I am so thrilled to have found Rachel as my kitties’ sitter!!! I just recently learned about this app. I scrolled through a few profiles, and chose Rachel because of her proximity and fabulous reviews. For my first booking, I had her come over to meet my kitties so we become acquainted with her together. I felt immediate comfort with her. My boy cat went up to her right away. He can always tell a person’s vibe from the first moment. She greeted us all with her warm smile, I then showed her around and instructed her on how they like things. She got right to it! She hung out on the floor with them after feeding them and scooping their litterboxes. Because of my anxiety, I have never left my cats alone over night with anyone, but that fear has gone! My family and I are now free to go on vacations and weekend trips together because of Rachel! She sent me pictures of everything she did and documented every step of her visits. When we got back home, I knew my cats were so content that they didn’t even get up from their cat tree to greet us. They looked at us and went right back to sleep. 😆😂😅 Thanks to Rachel, they were well fed and unbothered. 💞 I am looking forward to many more bookings with her!!”
“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.”
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.

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.
“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.”
“Baris was a fantastic sitter for my cat Zuko. He went above and beyond with all he had to do and more. His communication and understanding of the timings/scheduling was outstanding and he really worked to make things work with my schedule. I highly recommend him, I am sure I will book him again soon because I trust he’ll do a fantastic job. Thanks Baris, I appreciate everything you’ve done!”
“Mari is amazing! Grateful to have found her to check in on my two cats when Im out of town and give them some love. She’s helped me many times and I always appreciate the care she puts into making sure they’re staying happy and healthy.”
“Daisy was extremely punctual and so easy to communicate with. She treated my cat with extreme love and care. She updated me with multiple pictures and videos and I could be at ease when I was away. Highly recommend her”
“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.”
“Jessica is great! I've used her to look after my cats when I've had to go out of town, and I always know they are in good hands. Would definitely recommend if you need a sitter.”
About: Hi, I’ve had many dogs my whole entire life even puppies from Yorkshire terrier, miniature Doberman pinscher and Chihuahua. I was also a nanny/caretaker during college so have plenty of caregiving experience with transporting children. I have a small 10 pound Chihuahua. She gets along with any type of breed of dog as long as your dog does not bite. She is super friendly and loves to be around all the pets. I work in finance from home and have all day to pay attention / watch carefully and play with your dog while working and also relaxing. Since my small 10 pound Chihuahua is fairly small I prefer dogs less than 40 pounds if coming to my home. Some exceptions for a little bit over 40 lb. My dog does not bite or bark and loves to play all day with other dogs . If I come to your home I can do any dog greater than 100lb. I have a well-kept apartment with a nice balcony and a dog park located on site in my building complex with a beautiful walkable path and grass area to play.
About: I will treat your fur baby like my own! I understand it can be scary to leave your dog in the care of a stranger, so don’t! Let’s meet before-hand and make sure your pet is comfortable with me and their environment. I am a dog mom to a 1.5 year old mini dachshund female who I adore and had a chihuahua for 14 years. so rest assured I have a ton of experience caring for small to medium sized dog. I have also been watching many different breeds on Rover for the past 6 years and have experience with Corgis, Dachshunds, Beagles, Chihuahuas, Cavapoos, multipoos, mini goldendoodles, Pomeranians, french bulldogs and many more small to medium sized breeds. I have also fostered a Havanese male rescue pup. I will send photos each day and as much as you’d like to ensure you are comfortable and feel secure with how your pet is doing while you’re away. I will ensure I follow all care instructions down to every last detail. I live in a dog friendly, air conditioned house in Secaucus, NJ. We have a private fully fenced in yard where your dog can run around and play. There are also many parks in the area for walks. My Home your rules; if your pet loves couch cuddles / sleeping with you at night we can certainly do the same, so they feel at home. Looking forward to meeting you and your beloved pet. Caring for dogs give me so much joy, so thank you for considering my profile!

We can provide potty breaks as often as every 4 hours. I live in a private house with a fenced in yard making play time fun and easy. I’m happy to crate your pet if we step out if that’s what they are used to or we can give them free reign if they are potty trained and trusted.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Secaucus
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!
We are grateful that we found Rebecca as a drop-in sitter for our fur-baby Raphael, who is a very affectionate cat that needs some company when his family is away traveling. While sitting for us, Rebecca sent us lots of pictures, scooped litter, played with him, and checked his ears daily (as Raphael is prone to ear infections). We plan to hire her again for a longer sitting!
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.
Deanna was very helpful by taking care of our 2 cats while we were out of town! She sent comments and pictures everyday to keep us updated on how they were doing, which was very sweet. We are so grateful to have someone there to give us peace of mind while gone. Thank you Deanna!!!
Tez is amazing! My cats were feral, so they take some time for them to warm up to people and Tez has taken her time over the years to become best friends with them. We can barely pick up our cats and she was just recently able to pick up one of them so I think that speaks volumes to how good she is with cats. She has also been super nice in watering our plants a few times and bringing up our packages while we are away. I highly highly recommend Tez, your cats are missing out if you’re not using her as a sitter! One of our cats was even on Lexapro for some time and Tez was really good with giving him pills.
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!
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!

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
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.
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.
