“Ashley was great, very communicative, and took great care of my pup. My dog is reactive and Ashley took care to make sure she was safe and happy. Thank you, Ashley!”
“Candiance is so thorough in everything she does. I got so many detailed updates and photos while she was caring for my pup. I felt very comfortable with her in my home, taking care of my baby. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats, so being around animals has always been a normal part of my life. As an adult, I’ve had a Great Dane, a Doberman, and a Mini Goldendoodle, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of completely different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I trained my own dogs with the help of professional dog trainers, which taught me a lot about behavior, leash manners, routines, boundaries, and how to adjust my approach depending on the dog. I’m comfortable handling everything from small dogs to large, strong breeds, including dogs that need plenty of exercise and structure. I’m also happy caring for cats, whether that means feeding, litter box care, playtime, medication routines, or simply giving them space and company on their terms, because cats apparently prefer employment contracts with very specific boundaries. For both overnight stays and walks, I try to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible. I’m attentive, active, dependable, and most importantly, comfortable caring for animals with very different needs and personalities Pet care fits easily into my schedule, and I’m able to plan my day around walks, feeding times, playtime, and your pet’s usual routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, and I’m happy to adjust to the schedule your dog or cat is already used to. I’m currently working part-time from Home and have very flexible work schedule I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I follow your instructions closely, keep dogs securely leashed outside, pay attention to doors and gates, and never take unnecessary risks. I’m comfortable with large, strong dogs as well as smaller breeds and cats, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and boundaries. During overnight stays, I try to keep everything as familiar and normal for them as possible, because pets are already dealing with the profound betrayal of their human leaving the house. 🐾
“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!”
“Jana took great care of my senior pup while I was away. He gets anxious with new people and was not with her. He was at ease and relaxed. She kept in touch w me sending photos through the day without my having to keep asking. I would def recommend her and use her again.”
“Denise is a blessing! I have no words to describe how grateful I am and lucky to have found Denise during the holidays. While no one was available on this app, Denise was flexible and kind to watch my senior dog while I was traveling to see my family for a week. I highly recommend Denise because she demonstrates everything that you hope for while you are away: she sends daily updates makes you feel that your dog is safe, she is trustworthy and honest, she is very flexible and communicates clearly. Thank you Denise and I will definitely rebook your services if your schedule permits. Sailor misses you!”
“Eric did a house / dog sit at my home for about a week. He was an excellent communicator and gave me great updates on how my pup, Lucy, was doing. The house was in great shape when I returned and Lucy was clearly happy and well taken care of. Would highly recommend Eric for any rover needs. Thanks!”
“Lana is great! She texted us daily updates with pictures and videos, is super neat and organized and I could tell that my cat had a safe and happy time, would definitely recommend booking time with Lana!”
About: I have always had a genuine love for animals and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I enjoy spending time playing with pets, giving them plenty of attention, feeding them, going on walks, and making sure they are happy and comfortable while their family is away. I will care for your pet with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available during the week and on weekends, and I’m happy to work with each pet parent’s schedule and their pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and routines. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention and affection while also respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
“Genesis was amazing!! She kept me up to date with cute pictures and took such good care of my dog, giving her so much love and attention! I can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Celine is a godsend for our crazy pups! They can be a handful, but she handles with grace. Celine is punctual, communicative, respectful, confident with the dogs, and so very kind. Great sitter.”
About: Your dog or cat will have customized care based on his/her personality and needs. I typically take only one dog at a time for daycare, with additional play dates. I love puppies, who have my undivided attention when they are with me. We have tons of fun every day and work on training as needed. I’m experienced as a sitter for smaller breeds including Yorkies, poodles, cocker spaniels, mini Aussies, pugs, Boston terriers, mini schnauzers, corgis, and Havanese; I understand the sensitive feelings of certain small dogs and of senior dogs! It will be important for me to meet you and your dog to learn about the ways you communicate and about the specific likes and dislikes that both of you have. I have experience as a foster home for abandoned dogs. I am a volunteer for Guide Dogs. I owned Labrador retrievers for 25 years. I am experienced with dogs who have separation anxiety. I’m sorry but I can no longer accept young dogs over 30 pounds I’m available for walks along the waterfront and for daycare, boarding, puppy training and play most weekdays and any weekend. I teach English online two times a week and otherwise your pet will have my full and undivided attention. There are no other pets or family members in my home. I ask for a schedule along with feeding, socialization and exercise instructions. I’m cautious about interactions with other dogs until I get to know your dog better. I teach online several hours a week. All other times I’m available to spend time with your pet. I only take one dog at a time. Some dogs enjoy sitting next to me as I teach. Please note however daycare is 9 hours max anything over this time I do charge an additional 10$ per hour I usually walk dogs along the waterfront and play fetch or games with them in my condo. There is a dog park nearby if that’s appropriate.
“I can’t thank Jin enough! She provided me with frequent updates and took great care of my dog in my home. She also left everything exactly as I had it. I will definitely book Jin again! :)”
“Madison was so incredible with Nala! She took really great care of her and sent me lots of updates, and took great care of the apartment. She went above and beyond to help Nala as Nala had recently had surgery, and was wonderful to work with.”
“Natalia was great with our boys and took great care of our home. She looked after them for a week while we were in Greece and sent frequent updates — our kitties love her. She was very attentive to their needs and when we had a bit of an issue with our fridge too. Will definitely be seeking her services again in future.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for 10 years and I grew up with three dogs, so taking care of animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m familiar with pets with varying personalities/ages/energy levels. I am patient and excited to get to know every pet and their needs, whether that means getting plenty of exercise and playtime, sticking to a particular food schedule, or being able to provide a more nervous/shy animal with the time and space they need to warm up to me. As someone who loves their own pets, I know that a lot of trust is required to leave your pet with someone else, and I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. I’ll treat your pet like my own while keeping you updated while you’re away, and I will make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and care. I have plenty of flexibility and time to care for your pet’s needs! Communication is key for me to be able to accommodate/tailor my schedule to your pups :) I am a very attentive, respectful, and calm person who works hard to ensure that both pets and their owners feel safe with me. When I’m caring for a pet in someone else’s home, I take safety, trust, and respect seriously. I know I’m being welcomed into both your pet’s space and your home, so I’m mindful about keeping doors secured, following your instructions and routines closely, and making sure your pet is safe and comfortable throughout the visit. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that everything is in good hands while you’re away.
“Lia is a phenomenal house sitter who took amazing care of our two dogs while we were traveling out of town. It’s clear that she clicked with our dogs, and they became instant friends. She stayed in touch with us and provided timely updates throughout. She followed our instructions closely and even made sure to clean our apartment before leaving. We will definitely become repeat clients of Lia!”
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.
“I found Tom to be a very responsible person who truly enjoys caring for animals. He is very caring and loves playing with your pet. I would highly recommend him for pet sitting. He does a great job and your pets will love him too.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Weehawken
I need a last minute sitter and Melissa was great! My senior dog is pretty much a Velcro baby with separation anxiety, but she was very patient with him and he took to her really well. I felt comfortable leaving him with her without feeling anxious or worried about how he’s doing. I also really appreciate the love she gave him and the updates with pictures! Thank you! 💙
Sahib was great! Very communicative, fast to respond, shared lots of photos, and helped ease my nerves being away from our pet for the first time. He also helped out on some other tasks that he absolutely didn't need to and was open to doing a longer first meet and greet over a more quirky/challenging dog. Also very open to taking my high energy dog on long hour walks which was appreciated!
Rachael house-sat for us for two weeks and watched our Millie, and she is an absolute angel! This was our first time ever leaving Millie with someone outside of family, so we were naturally nervous. Rachael went above and beyond in every possible way. She sent daily photo updates and completely spoiled our girl with long walks, fun trips, playtime, and so much love. It was such a relief knowing Millie was in good hands. We came home to a house that was left spotless. We are so grateful and will definitely be reaching out to Rachael again in the future. Thank you, Rachael! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Thaise was able to accommodate our last minute request for a pet sitter. She was very responsive, professional, and sent lots of pictures of our cats while we were away! We felt very comfortable with her in our home and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks, Thaise!
Catherine was incredible! Our pup is a lot to handle, but Catherine wasn't even phased! Great communication, very punctual, respectful, diligent, tidy. Can't recommend Catherine enough! We really look forward to working with her in the future! Thanks a million, Catherine 🙏
Kristina once again came through for us when our cat Malcolm spent the first several days of our vacation barfing on the rug every night. Nothing is worse than being unable to handle a situation because you are hundreds of miles away. And yet, I had every confidence in her. She did all I could have done and more. She got the little guy through it which of course meant she got me through it too. She remains the best.
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!!

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 Weehawken 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 Weehawken 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Weehawken 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!

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.
