“Katie was phenomenal. She picked up over a week of pet sitting when our sitter fell through a week before our departure. Our kids LOVED her frequent updates and photos. Katie even helped schedule and extra visit when snow interrupted our return.”
“Ashley was absolutely fantastic. She watched our new puppy and older dog with ease and sent lots of great updates to keep everyone comfortable. She went above and beyond with keeping our pups entertained. Definitely recommend her services.”
“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!”
“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: 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 recent graduate starting a new job in counseling. Pet care would be more during my weekends and free time. Seeing animals when off work is such a reward! My current availability is spontaneous due to my varying work schedule so I always make sure to keep my availability on my calendar up to date. 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.
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.
“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: I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love for you pets. I've cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and friends and family often trust me with their pets when they're away. I work Monday-Friday full time, but I have flexibility to work from home so my schedule is flexible. I'm happy to arrange my schedule as needed. I am easily adaptable to different environments so I will stick to ground rules set by the client. Strong communicator so will make sure everything goes smoothly.
“CK was great with my dog and cat, and very communicative! He was even able to come back and check on the animals later than planned when we were delayed coming home. Would definitely book again!”
“Morgan is my go-to sitter! She has taken care of my pup Harry multiple times for long stays, who has pretty bad separation anxiety. I feel that he is safe, calm and happy when he is with Morgan and I always appreciate her constant communication and pictures to update me. Morgan is also very respectful of my home while staying for long and short stays and I always come back to the apartment just how i left it. I highly recommend her!”
“Dasja was an amazing Rover sitter! She stayed with our cat over Thanksgiving and was so responsive, communicative, and left our home in beautiful shape. Most importantly, our cat was so well taken care of and was in a great mood when we came home!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and had 4 dogs at a time for most of that. I’m experienced with senior dogs as well as puppy training. I train dogs with maximum positive reinforcement. My dog/assistant grew up with elderly yorkies and is eager to lend a paw. I’m a freelance motion designer, part time e-learning professor and I work from home on my own schedule. My dog goes on at least 5 walks per day, with poops after meals. Doggy breakfast is at 7:30, dinner at 5:30. For boarded dogs my building is very dog friendly with a fenced courtyard. There are 2 dog parks within a 5 minute walk and several
“Kenine took great care of our dog, Big! She is very attentive and communicative, sending many updates and pictures throughout the stay. We can tell our dog was well taken care of and relaxed with her. Will definitely keep Kenine in mind for future visits! 😊”
About: I currently cat and dog sit regularly for my parents and for my girlfriends pets when they are away. I have experience dog sitting multiple dogs and love being active with all animals. I am currently on summer break until classes start, once they do schedule may change. Currently I have very open availability, typically get my day started at 9:30am and love being active throughout the day. Pet friendly apartment and neighborhood. I will follow all safety precautions and instructions given. I have a walking path around my apartment. There is a lot of space for pets to roam around.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Weehawken
Shriya provided very attentive care all day and anticipated what my pup needed. She sent lots of adorable updates and asked insightful questions. It’s tiring to keep up with my little puppy, and I’m so happy to see that she had a wonderful day of playing, sleeping, eating, crate training and potty training with Shriya. Thank you!
Amanda went out of her way to make our cats as comfortable as possible! She provided many videos and pictures throughout her stay. I’ve used Rover in multiple states and countries, but I have never seen my babies so relaxed and happy with a sitter! She gives a lot of love and animals truly love her. Amanda is very respectful in her communication and makes sure she provides care as you like it. Because of unforeseen circumstances, we came home two days later than planned and Amanda had no problem extending her stay. This was a huge help! I will definitely book her again.
Caroline was incredible helpful in taking care of our nearly 15 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I was a nervous dog mom leaving him with someone that I didn’t know for the first time, but Caroline checked in regularly and took good care of Sawyer and our apartment. Will book with her again!
I was in a pinch and Claire was avaible to help asap. I have two Large reactive dogs, so I am concerned when someone new is walking them. Claire is a pro, was able to handle the dogs the entire time and the dogs looked happy the entire time from the multiple updates she provided. Will def be using again!
Highly recommend Owen for any pet sitting needs! I had something come up very last minute and reached out the night before, and he was super responsive and communicative. He took the time to ask about my puppy beforehand, which made me feel really comfortable leaving her in his care. He checked in toward the end of the stay and sent lots of cute pictures, which I really appreciated. It was clear my puppy was well taken care of, and I would definitely book with him again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Weehawken
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Weehawken on Rover is $69.74 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 19,263 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.

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.
