“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: Thank you for your interest in booking with me for your pet care needs 🤍 I offer boarding for cats and dogs, daycare and drop-ins throughout the year. Since younger. I've had the joy growing up in my household with various pets, including cats, dogs, fishes, and birds. Over the years, I've become the go-to person for family and friends when they need someone to love, protect, and take care of their pets. If you ever need a reliable pet caretaker. Im the one!🙋♀️ I provide three to four walks daily: morning, afternoon, evening and before bedtime. I'm home a good amount of time. I work around your fury baby schedule. All doors to the outside are closed at all times. The house also has two doors to the entrance. I have acess to the backyard with fence. For cats, we keep our windows closed. We also have a gate that separates the living room and the kitchen so when we are cooking and eating the gate is to keep the dog/s in the living room area in order to prevent them from eating anything that might fall on the ground. Dogs are truly easy to manage when it comes to safety as they tend to be obedient and I’m able to entertain them easily. However, with cats as we know get into everything, on everything and it’s much difficult to know what they do overnight since they are free spirits 😁 Nonetheless, I do my best to ensure the safety of everyone, your pets and my family. Please read the Rover Guarantee for further details.
“Ariana really helped us out with a last minute sitting request. She was responsive and came early for a meet-and-greet to make sure everything would go well. When I returned, my dog was happy and the apartment was in order. Ariana is a great choice if you need someone to stay with your pet while you’re away!”
About: As a dog dad and future medical doctor, I bring a unique blend of compassion, responsibility, and attention to detail to pet care. My experience in healthcare has trained me to be observant, reliable, and adaptable, which are qualities that are essential when caring for pets. I understand the importance of trust and consistency, especially for senior pets or those with special needs. Whether it’s keeping up with high-energy dogs, providing gentle care for older pets, or administering medications, I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. As a student currently applying to medical school, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive pet care. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I can adapt to fit your pet’s needs. My routine is structured yet flexible, ensuring that your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you’re away! As a dog dad myself that has used Rover on numerous occasions, I know how important it is to find a sitter you can trust. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s. I follow owner instructions closely, maintain routines, and ensure plenty of exercise, play, and affection. With my healthcare background and attention to detail, I’m always mindful of a pet’s well-being, keeping an eye out for any signs of discomfort or distress. Your furry friend will be in responsible, loving hands—just like I’d want for my own dog.
“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!”
“So responsive and sent me so many photos which I love! You could tell from the photos the puppies were at ease with her. Will definitely be using her again in the future:)”
About: With over a decade of taking care of pets and handling a pet care non-profit, I’ve decided to devote a good part of my schedule in making sure the pups in my neighbourhood have a chance to escape the mundane of the city life and live the life they deserve. With a huge sprawling lucious green backyard, your furry ones will have great space to absolutely forget the anxiety of parting with their loved ones momentarily. I work from home so I’m always flexible to fit all kinds of requests in order to give maximum comfort to pet owners. My work is not time oriented but output-oriented, so I decide my own schedule. I have a goldendoodle of my own and I have my own house with a huge fenced in backyard. The pets will be a part of my family and stay with me and my dog. They will enjoy the same level of care as my own dog and I’m flexible to any instructions pet parents might have.
About: I have experience with brachiocephalic breeds as I have three of my own! I have experience working as a Dog Handler at a popular doggy daycare who handled up to 30 dogs. I have experience with puppies and seniors with arthritis. I’m currently working full-time as a Medical Assistant at an Urgent Care and have a few days off during the week where I can fit walking your pup at a daily! I am very careful with anything that is laying out when it comes to my puppers especially living with two pugs who will eat anything and everything!
“Issy was an incredible dog sitter for our anxious pup! She came by for a quick meet and greet and then spent the next day with our dog who quickly felt at ease with her and her calm energy. She was very kind, patient and responsive. We appreciated getting her updates and knowing our beloved pup was in good hands!”
“Adrian was absolutely amazing and understanding with the needs of my cats. He provided thorough recaps of his time with them and asked tons of questions ahead of time to best understand how to provide for them. Will absolutely be rebooking again when I need”
About: I truly love animals and enjoy spending time with them. I am caring, patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe and comfortable while you are away. I will treat your pet with the same care, kindness, and attention I would give my own. I am available for pet care on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I can provide overnight house sitting and give your pet plenty of attention, care, walks, and companionship throughout the weekend. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I will carefully follow your instructions, including feeding, walks, medications, and daily routines. I will respect your home, keep you updated, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention and care while you are away.
“We reached out to Siri for a relatively last minute house stay. She sent pics which helped give us peace of mind while we were away. Plus both of our cats were calm and relaxed when we came back 😊 Thank you, Siri!”
“Stephanie took great care of my dog Goose and was flexible to help with his care while I went on vacation. I needed Stephanie to watch Goose for the last day of my trip because my normal dog sitter wasn't available then. Stephanie put in the effort to come meet Goose before I left and to hand-off with another Rover sitter during my trip while I was away. Thanks 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.”
“Genesis was an amazing dog sitter for our 2 year old Goldendoodle. Kaiya has a ton of energy so we need her to go on multiple walks a day or to the park. Genesis sent tons of pictures on their walks and hilarious ones at night with Kaiya completely exhausted snuggled up by her. She also went above and beyond cleaning the guest sheets she used!! It’s was the added stress of cleaning everything completely taken off my shoulders. It’s been tough finding great dog sitters in the city but will definitely be booking her again.”
“Mika is the best! Our cat has some medical challenges and we are always worried when leaving him. Mika took great care of him and gave us frequent updates so we were able to have peace of mind during our trip. We are so grateful!!”
“Isis is awesome! She was highly communicative, sent photos periodically, and was flexible when I had a last minute schedule change. My dog felt so comfortable with her and I will definitely book her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Weehawken
Sophie was great! Puppy sitting is not easy but she presented herself as calm and confident right away so I was able to enjoy my night out without the least bit of worry. Sophie also texted me throughout the evening with excellent updates including really cute photos. She also pointed out some behavior that I had missed. I highly recommend Sophie for taking care of your pet and hope I have another opportunity to use her services!
Katherine was awesome, very communicative, and did a great job watching Griff during my time away for a work trip. It hasn't been easy finding a sitter for a larger, energetic dog like Griff who's a 3 year old German Shepherd/Husky mix. Seeing Katherine's experience with German Shepherds growing up gave me confidence that she would be a good fit for Griff as we've only been in the city for a few months and hadn't yet found an option outside of boarding. I highly recommend her (except for the days I need her)
Melissa went above and beyond to care for my pup last minute! She sent many updates and adorable photos which put my mind at ease and made a hectic day so much easier. She even bought him a toy, which was so unnecessary but so sweet. I’m very grateful for all her help, and I would recommend Melissa in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a sitter!
Rowen was great with our puppy’s separation anxiety. She was patient with him and kept us updated throughout the evening. By the end of the night he was asking for pets and treats. We’d definitely recommend Rowen as someone who is experienced and plan to rebook in the future.
Sofie was a fantastic sitter during our trip overseas! She did a great job taking care of our cats and watching over the home. When we got home, we could tell that our kitties had been well cared for and we appreciated the photos and updates she shared. It meant a lot to be able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing our home and pets were in good hands. We’d be happy to work with her again anytime!
Issy is such a great dog sitter! She is prompt, professional and communicative. Takes great care of our anxious dog who has quickly become very comfortable with her. We really feel like we can relax when she’s dog sitting as we completely trust her and are very grateful to have found her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Weehawken is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $111 per night. 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.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
