“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!”
“Adam did an awesome job with Roxy! Roxy's a strong dog with lots of energy who's not the right fit for everyone, so we were a little nervous leaving her. Prior to watching Roxy, Adam came by for a meet-and-greet and it was immediately clear that not only could he handle Roxy, but that they would soon be best friends. Knowing Adam was watching Roxy allowed us to go to a family party with complete peace of mind. On the day Adam watched Roxy, he took her for a long walk for exercise, played with her, fed her, and even cleaned her up after they were caught in the rain. Throughout the day, Adam sent updates and photos and Roxy looked so happy. We will absolutely ask Adam to take care of Roxy in the future.”
“Katherine was amazing with our cats Pita and Helga, she played a lot and took amazing pictures with Pita. She provided multiple updates with pictures throughout her stay. Would definitely love to have her over again!”
“Emily did a fantastic job house-sitting Beau! She went above and beyond and made sure he got his energy out on long walks and during multiple play sessions. Beau loved her. She also kept our apartment super clean for when we returned. We're so glad we found Emily and will gladly work with her again!”
“Harley was amazing! Our original sitter canceled super last minute, and she stepped in to help us over the long weekend. She took such great care of Nala, gave her lots of love and attention, kept us updated regularly, and left the house clean and well cared for. We were so grateful she was able to help on such short notice and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Gwendolyn did great work house sitting Coco and communicated very well throughout. She left our house in pristine conditions. Thank you Gwendolyn and I look forward to working with you again.”
“Lola was so kind, responsive, and caring. Our pets were as obsessed with her as she with them. They were very loved and cared for. She not only took great care of our fur babies, but also spread her good vibes to our leaf babies. Everything thrived in her care. Highly recommend Lola! We are so grateful for her last minute availability 8 Stars from our 8 Paws”
“Anna was absolutely amazing while caring for my cat.. she was very attentive and communicative, always sending updates and asking questions. Will for sure book her again🤍”
“Connor was great with our cat and small dog while we were away. Our cat is typically a loner but seemed to have bonded with him while we were gone which is impressive!! We got lots of photos daily and he communicated well. Thanks CK!”
“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.”
“Fiorella took the absolute best care of our two boys. They are both high energy dogs and she very much understood their needs and met them wonderfully. Extra bonus was that our house was in amazing shape when we got home. Thank you so much!”
“Stephanie was kind and caring - she did a great job taking care of both our animals and our house. She even got our shy one to eat! Thank you so much for granting us peace of mind while we were out of town. Our girls had a great time and we would definitely use her again!”
“Daniel did an excellent job taking care of my two senior pups on such short notice for 9 days during the Thanksgiving holiday after i had an unexpected last minute cancellation from my other pet sitter. Daniel came to the rescue and was diligent about the medications needed to be administered for my pup Ray who has 4 eye medications to do on a daily basis. Daniel sent pictures and videos and kept me updated along the way. He also left the home spotless on my arrival and with happy pups! Will definitely be reaching out to him for the next time. Thank you Daniel!”

“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!”
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 always make sure animals feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for, while keeping owners updated with photos and communication for peace of mind.
“Bria was an absolute dream. We had originally booked her for 10 days to stay at our home with our cat and dog, but was totally amendable to adding my parents dog as well. She sent us daily updates and I could tell from the photos and videos that our babes were acting as they would when we're home, which is the best feeling in the world. We will absolutely be working with her going forward. Nothing is more reassuring when you're away then knowing your babies are cared for!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Weehawken
Grace did a great job watching my dog Goose. He recently had an eye operation and has to wear a cone and get eye drop medication twice a day. She handled it all with ease and sent tons of pics to keep me in the loop with how he was doing. I would definitely recommend Grace!
We had such a great experience with Kaitlynn! She took on a last-minute request to watch our recently adopted 16-month-old Great Dane, who is a 140 lb adolescent and definitely no easy feat! She was amazing with him and made us feel completely at ease while we were away, constantly sending photos and updates throughout the weekend. She also made time in her schedule to come by for a meet and greet beforehand, which we really appreciated. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and would absolutely trust her with Cooper again!
We couldn’t have hoped for a better sitter! Catherine was very attentive, highly communicative (sending videos and photos), checking in with us multiple times a day as requested, very caring and loving towards Vesper (our cat). We could really see Vesper at ease as if she had known Catherine for years! If you want a worry-free experience we highly recommend Catherine. Not only were we impressed with Catherine’s experience, we also appreciated the calm, insight, and ease we felt upon meeting Catherine. We will absolutely be hiring Catherine again!
Kinga dog sat for us for over 1 week. She was amazing. She provided daily updates and communication. Our dog absolutely loved her. She put our minds at ease knowing our dog was being well taken care of. She left the house in spotless condition. Thank you, Kinga!!!
We were able to enjoy our vacation without a worry because of Alene’s excellent attention to our two cats while we were away. We couldn’t be happier with our choice. Not only did she arrive on time each day and feed the cats and clean their litter boxes, she also spent time with them and even watered the plants. Alene is very honest and conscientious. She made sure the house was secured whenever she left and sent daily pictures of our happy pets. Our cats quickly grew close to her and I think the girl cat wanted to go home with her when we returned. It was a great overall experience.
Sofie did an amazing job caring for our two cats while we were away. Sofie was a great communicator, made sure our cats were fed at the scheduled times, groomed them, and made sure to provide them with needed play time. In addition, Sofie sent great photos and updates! Sofie went above and beyond and our cats seemed well taken care of when we returned home. We would highly recommend Sofie for both drop-in visits and overnight stays.
Cannot recommend enough. I was anxious about leaving our golden, Georgia, after she experienced a scary medical episode while we were out of the county earlier this summer, but Amanda eased every worry by going absolutely above and beyond. She sent videos and updates every day and our girl looked SO HAPPY in all of them. I know Georgia was well-loved and attended to while we were away and it was such a relief to know she was in such good hands. We will absolutely book her again in the future! Thank you Amanda!!!
Alexis was fantastic and went above and beyond in taking care of our senior pug and senior pug-mix! We couldn’t have left them in better hands - we got plenty of pictures and updates, and our home was seriously cleaner than when we left it! Will definitely be asking Alexis back, and would highly recommend her services for anyone looking for a responsible, responsive, and loving pup sitter!
Bing has cared for our cat and dog a few times now. We can tell our pets really love her! She is super communicative and ensures we're always kept updated on their schedules and general day-to-day via texts and photos. It's so comforting to know our pets are well cared for while we are gone. Bing also took great care of our home while she stayed there. She's one of our top sitters!
Kerra was so wonderful. We were in a last minute bind and she responded quickly. She was confident and so communicative about our two dogs (one who is a senior) that we immediately felt that they were in great hands. She sent updates and kept us in the loop. Makes a lot of sense that she has many incredible reviews and we know who we will be calling next time we need a dog sitter! Highly recommended.

FAQs for House Sitting - Weehawken
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Weehawken on Rover is $70.9 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 19,335 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
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
