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.

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.

About: As a lifelong dog owner and lover I have always taken care of not only my own but been a go-to sitter for my friends cats and dogs. I currently have a 4 yr old yellow lab who may be 100 lbs but he thinks he’s a lap dog nonetheless. I love big dogs as I have always had a large dog in the house but small dogs steal my heart too. I have an extremely flexible schedule. As a real estate agent I am only in the office/area that I work on random days here and there. Most days I am home, going to the gym, or spending time with family and friends, so pet care can be at any time throughout the day. I will always care for your pet and home. Any instructions that you give I will follow, I want your pet to enjoy their time with me as much as I enjoy my time with them!
“Jade & Scotty have been so wonderful. I was so nervous going online and finding someone but knew I had to with my busy schedule. Jade & Scotty made time to come meet Us prior to us booking our first visit. I knew that day this was going to be a great fit. We have had several visits, my dogs love them and they are always sure to give me updates and pictures! When I get home my dogs are calm and happy after their visit and I feel good knowing they are not alone all day!”
“Taylor went above and beyond watching our two cats! She gave detailed reports every day and looked after them as if they were her own. I can’t recommend her enough, she was the best Rover sitter we’ve ever booked.”
“Andrew has been great with our puppy. We were apprehensive to leave him for the first time with anyone but our fears were lifted with how attentive Andrew is with providing updates and his real care for our dog. Definitely a good choice!”
“Katherine watched our cat when we went away for the first time since getting him. She did such an incredible job of keeping us updated and letting us know how our cat was doing, giving us so much piece of mind knowing he was being taken care of so well. Our cat very clearly had a great time and liked Katherine very much. Katherine was also so understanding when our plans changed and was incredible flexible. We will 100% be asking her to watch our cat in the future when we go away. She did an amazing job.”
“Leslie was awesome! We had someone else come over who claimed our cat was being cold and standoffish, when he’s usually the most loving kitty in the world. We were really concerned something was wrong, so we had Leslie come. She sent tons of photos and videos to reassure us our kitty was fine, stayed in constant communication with us and made sure to address any of our concerns. (She also cleaned the litter box which the other person failed to do). We felt so much better after hiring Leslie, would definitely recommend her to anyone! We’d definitely book her in the future.”
“Alison was so gentle and caring with our girls! She arrived on time and followed all care instructions. We are excited to continue working with her! Thank you, Alison”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Secaucus
Kristen is amazing! My cat is typically shy around new people and will hide. Kristen is basically a cat whisperer and my cat instantly warmed up to her and played during each visit, which made me soooooo happy and feel comfortable while leaving Maxey alone. Will 10000% be using Kristen in the future!
Chi Leuk did a fantastic job dropping in to take care of Coconut! He was extremely patient, careful, and attentive throughout the entire visit. He followed all instructions provided and made sure Coconut was well-fed and comfortable. You can tell he truly cares about the animals in his care. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and considerate sitter!"
Rachel is fantastic! She took great care of our cat Buddy while we were away for two weeks. Buddy is on a couple of medications, so we were concerned about having a sitter watch over him. Rachel looked like was the perfect person for the job and she was simply awesome. She over-delivered and went above and beyond our expectations. She sent us detailed notes and lots of pictures every time she visited Buddy. Whe consulted with us when needed and made great suggestions to make him more comfortable. We couldn’t be any happier and we will definitely keep booking her in the future.
Jose was great, would definitely book again! He was responsive, caring, and communicative, sending pictures and videos during every visit with our cat. This was only our second time booking through Rover, so I expected our skittish cat to hide, but he warmed up to Jose super quickly! Jose also took the time for a meet and greet when I first reached out, which really put me at ease. He even let us know right away about a random throw up and offered to clean it up (I told him to just leave it lol). Thank you so much, Jose!!
Deanna went above and beyond taking care of our cat Mr P! She made sure he was fed, thirst quenched, and just the right amount of attention given to in order to make him a happy camper while we were out of town for a week. You never want to leave your furry friend behind when possible, but if we do again would highly recommend/consider booking again!
Angela was literally a godsend! I needed someone to stop by twice a day on very short notice for my two cats, one of whom was recovering from an infection and needed eye drops administered, all right before my week-long vacation. It was a really stressful time for me to be away while one of my cats was sick, but Angela made me feel so much more at ease. She was incredibly caring, reliable, and attentive, and she sent me updates on both of my cats after every visit. Knowing they were being well cared for and getting their medication properly gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’m so grateful to Angela for taking such wonderful care of my girls, especially on such short notice. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable cat sitter!
We couldn’t be happier with Ruth! My husband and I went away on a long vacation, and knowing that Duchess and Gordo were in her hands gave us so much peace of mind. From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable and reassured. She was always punctual, and after every visit she sent us the sweetest pictures and detailed updates about how our babies were doing. It honestly made our day to see them happy and relaxed while we were so far away. She spent time playing with them, giving them attention, and keeping them company, and we could tell that she genuinely cared about them. Coming home to two happy, well-cared-for cats meant so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful to Ruth for taking such wonderful care of Duchess and Gordo, and we would absolutely trust her with them again. We highly, highly recommend her! ❤️
Yisha did an excellent job watching our two cats! She clearly loves cats and our cats really liked her, even our more shy and sassy boy! Very good communication and she sent so many pictures which made being apart from our kitties feel less distant! Will certainly book again, thank you Yisha!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Secaucus is $31 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $50 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Secaucus. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
