“Katherine was incredible! Our dog has some medical concerns and this was our first time leaving him with a sitter since he began his medication. She was so great about following our administration instructions for the meds, as well as anything else we shared with her. I’d highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again! Our dog was so loved while we were out of town, and that’s truly all we could want!”
“Jebraune was great! Our dog immediately took to her and she clearly has a way with dogs. She took great care of our corgi. She also went above and beyond taking him to the park for fetch, brushing him, and we could tell he’s already missing her. She also left our apartment better than she found it and we really appreciated the care she took not only of our dog but of our home.”
“Zuleyka was amazing! Spontaneous, very communicative and she handled the pups so so well! Thank you for taking such good care of them! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible dogsitter :)”
About: We pick up & drop off cats from Manhattan - at Port Authority (41st & 8th avenue) then we will take the bus for 1 stop to our place:) I adopted 2 lovely cats 2 years ago from Hong Kong and it’s been life changing. They changed my life the same as I changed theirs and I thank god everyday for bringing them into my life. I can’t wait to meet your cats and give them the best care and love. Cats are intelligent creatures with different personalities, I’d always think for the best for them the same way I treat my own. I am patient and caring, and am willing to give my best for your cat to feel safe and happy! I am currently flexible with work from home schedule so I have lots of time to play with and take care of your beloved cats! [discounted rates for returned cat parents & long-term stay] I live in a 680 sq ft 1-br apartment in Midtown with window net & sunlight. I currently have 2 very friendly cats at home. We have housekeeping every 2 weeks to ensure everything is clean for your baby :) For your cats: - cat tree & scratch post - 2 friendly social cats - lots of cat toys & playtime - fur brushing Please provide a carrier, food, and favorite toys with familiar scent for your baby. We’ll communicate everyday during the stay to give you a peace of mind that your baby is well taken care of.
“We got so lucky with Lehan! She took such great care of our kitties, provided a ton of cute photos, and was excellent at communication throughout her pet sitting stay with our cats. Will absolutely book 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!”
“Morgan took amazing care of my very special and beloved dog! He loved her and she was very attentive/careful to follow all of our instructions to make him comfortable and happy while we were away for the week. Would definitely trust her to take care of him again!”
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.
“Severine has consistently taken great care of my dogs and cats. She has house sit for me over long weekends a couple of times now, and she is very communicative and reliable. I recommend her to watch after your pets (and your home) if you need a sitter!”
“Yasmin was so communicative and took wonderful care of Viggo and my apartment while I was away! She is very respectful, kind, and an obvious animal lover. I can tell he was completely comfortable and happy with her. It was such a relief to know that Viggo was well cared for while I was gone and allowed me to enjoy my trip and be present.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Candiance! She was so communicative throughout her stay with our dog and provided us with amazing photos and videos. She sent daily updates and our dog was so happy he barely even noticed we were gone. If I could give 10 stars I would!”
About: Hi! My name is Natty, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I have experience taking care of multiple dogs and cats, including my own pets: a sweet beagle named Harley, a golden retriever named Layla, and three rescued cats named Benito, Minnie, and Oreo, all of whom were adopted as strays and became part of our family. Being surrounded by animals every day has taught me how important patience, attention, and love are when caring for pets. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping pets company, I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treating them like family. I am very responsible, caring, and communicative, and I will always provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members and make them feel happy and loved! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pets throughout the day. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and playtime! I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including my own pets at home. I always make sure animals feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for, while keeping owners updated with photos and communication for peace of mind.
“Absolutely awesome! Great communication and was very understanding with my dog that has some unique quirks. I came back to an apartment that was as clean or better than I left it after Emily has watched Benji overnight for 6 days. 10/10 would recommend Emily!”
“Ariana stayed in my condo while I traveled for three weeks. The photos and video she sent showed me Orion was well-loved and happy. On my return, my condo was clean and orderly, so I know she took good care of my home as well.”
“Andrew was fantastic with our senior dog for an overnight stay. He was very kind and communicative and I felt at ease with him watching our dog. Would definitely recommend him!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Weehawken is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Weehawken
We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! She took such great care of Oreo while we were away. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Oreo was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We truly appreciate her kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Oreo!
Annie was great! She sent us pictures everyday that helped us know Heinz was being taken care of, and always made us happy since we missed him while we were away. Heinz is a very nervous dog and takes awhile to warm up to people, but after about a day, he was asking Annie for belly rubs, a sign he fully trusts someone. We would be very lucky to have Annie watch Heinz again.
Cammie was amazing. She came to meet my pup in advance and took great care of her. Normally Tilly is stressed when I leave but she was completely at ease when I got back and my apartment was probably tidier when I got back than when I left! Recommend Cammie 100%.
Shriya was an amazing cat sitter! She stayed at my apartment for about a week and gave detailed updates everyday and sent lots of pictures and videos throughout the day! My cat immediately became comfortable with her. She was also so neat and left the place cleaner than before. Would definitely recommend and rebook!
Amelia is wonderful!! My cats are so happy and healthy, and my apartment was left completely clean. She was very responsive. I asked a lot of her, because one of my cats was dealing with constipation - Amelia was even attentive enough to pay attention to my cat’s bathroom habits to help reassure me while I was away. I would highly recommend Amelia as a pet sitter!
McKenzie was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was consistently responsive, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the whole booking and clearly understood cats having two of her own, which is important to me as a cat owner. I actually had a last-minute emergency come up and needed to adjust the schedule, and she was so understanding and flexible about it. I really appreciated that she made a stressful situation so much easier. My baby was clearly in great hands, and I'd book her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!
Daniela watched over my cat for over a week. She house-sat too. I received regular updates from her, she seems to really enjoy animals. My cat has a thyroid issue and requires a crushed up pill in each of her meals. Daniela did this with no issues. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Weehawken
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Weehawken on Rover is $68.2 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 19,146 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Weehawken. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Weehawken. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
