“Rebecca was super punctual and took to our pup right away! We felt very at ease during her first visit with us. She made sure to keep her safe and followed all of our detailed instructions. She was very communicative throughout the shift. Would definitely book again!”
“Melissa was such a delight! She had to spend a few hours resolving an issue with the keys with the front desk, but she handled it professionally, which meant she stayed for way longer than the 30min slot. She also took excellent care of Canéle during several visits over a two-week period. I really appreciated reading her detailed notes and seeing the beautiful photos and videos she shared.”
“Rachel is amazing - we are so glad to have her take care of our cats! We have two cats - one is more friendly and the other one is very very shy. Rachel did a great job taking care of both! Would highly recommend Rachel.”
“Mari is amazing! Grateful to have found her to check in on my two cats when Im out of town and give them some love. She’s helped me many times and I always appreciate the care she puts into making sure they’re staying happy and healthy.”
“Katie was an excellent sitter and will definitely book again! She was reliable, communicative and adaptable. She was able to accommodate when I asked her to extend the booking because I got stuck out of town due to a cancelled flight. It gave me great peace of mind knowing I can tell my cat was well cared for!”
About: I have over 7 years of professional animal care experience, including working in dog daycare and boarding facilities, a veterinary hospital, and professional animal care settings. I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, personalities, and activity levels, with experience in feeding, administering medications, monitoring health and behavior, supervising group and individual play, and providing plenty of exercise and attention. I also have experience caring for cats and previously worked as a veterinary assistant, where I helped safely handle and care for animals during appointments and procedures. Animal care and welfare have been a major part of both my personal and professional life for years. I’m also a dog mom to my own 3-year-old Golden Retriever, so I understand how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your pet. I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I would want someone to give my own currently provide pet care part-time and am primarily available during weekday evenings, with more flexibility on Saturdays and Sundays. I’m happy to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I genuinely enjoy spending my free time caring for animals and will always make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. With years of hands-on animal care experience, I’m comfortable working with different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and routine, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special care needs. I pay close attention to behavior and any changes in your pet’s well-being, and I’ll always treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.

“We couldn’t be happier with Ruth! My husband and I went away on a long vacation, and knowing that Duchess and Gordo were in her hands gave us so much peace of mind. From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable and reassured. She was always punctual, and after every visit she sent us the sweetest pictures and detailed updates about how our babies were doing. It honestly made our day to see them happy and relaxed while we were so far away. She spent time playing with them, giving them attention, and keeping them company, and we could tell that she genuinely cared about them. Coming home to two happy, well-cared-for cats meant so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful to Ruth for taking such wonderful care of Duchess and Gordo, and we would absolutely trust her with them again. We highly, highly recommend her! ❤️”
“Daisy is wonderful! Very easy to communicate and attentive to detail 😊 I highly recommend requesting her services next time you are out of town and need your fur babies taken care of 🤗”
“I am so happy we found Candiance to check in on our doggy. She is so patient and understanding to our dog’s needs. She has great communication and it was easy for me to trust her to care for our dog.”
“She is absolutely the best! She was supposed to drop in for 30 minutes, but she spent several hours and even took my dog to the dog park because she knew I’m overwhelmed with the bar exam and moving🥹🥹🥹 I can’t thank her enough and highly recommend her.”
“The best dog sitter we could ask for! Franklin absolutely adores them—on days they aren’t scheduled, he literally waits by the door looking for them. That says it all. Reliable, caring, and clearly someone my dog feels safe and happy with. Couldn’t recommend more highly.”
“Murray was an excellent cat sitter. He fed and played with my cats every day and even got my most timid cat to come out of hiding. He also took care of some minor things when I asked him like a camera the cats knocked over. I am really glad I hired Murray and Ana to take care of my cats while I was gone - and my cats were glad as well.”
“Jade & Scotty have been so wonderful. I was so nervous going online and finding someone but knew I had to with my busy schedule. Jade & Scotty made time to come meet Us prior to us booking our first visit. I knew that day this was going to be a great fit. We have had several visits, my dogs love them and they are always sure to give me updates and pictures! When I get home my dogs are calm and happy after their visit and I feel good knowing they are not alone all day!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Weehawken
We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Stephanie!! She was absolutely incredible from start to finish and went so far above and beyond what we could have asked for. We reached out to her with only about 48 hours notice, and she was so accommodating and willing to help us out! Our kittens had just been spayed and neutered, so this was definitely a little more involved than a typical sitting job. They needed frequent visits and help taking their cones on and off, and Stephanie was so attentive, caring, and thoughtful throughout it all. She didn’t just stop by to feed them, she spent time playing with them, cleaned their litter boxes, gave them lots of attention, and made sure they were happy and comfortable every visit. She also sent us tons of photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away! It was obvious that she genuinely cared about our kittens and treated them like her own. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Stephanie and will absolutely be using her again. I couldn’t recommend her more!!
She was wonderful with my cats and is especially great at reading their personalities and making shy or skittish cats feel comfortable. She was able to give medication without any issues and went out of her way to keep me updated about one of my cats’ health conditions. She was incredibly diligent, attentive, and caring. I would absolutely recommend her!
Jose was great, would definitely book again! He was responsive, caring, and communicative, sending pictures and videos during every visit with our cat. This was only our second time booking through Rover, so I expected our skittish cat to hide, but he warmed up to Jose super quickly! Jose also took the time for a meet and greet when I first reached out, which really put me at ease. He even let us know right away about a random throw up and offered to clean it up (I told him to just leave it lol). Thank you so much, Jose!!
Sana was amazing! Our kitten was hungry and alone at home because our dry food dispenser broke down while we were out of town. We reached out to Sana, and she came over right away and took perfect care of our cat. We were so relieved, and our kitten also had a great time playing with Sana. Thanks again!
Stella was great with our two cats! She kept us updated throughout our trip and sent us photos, which we really appreciated. We could tell our cats were so much happier and more comfortable being able to stay in their own home rather than having to stay somewhere else. The home visits were perfect for them, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for. We would definitely recommend Stella!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 27,916 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Weehawken. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Weehawken stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Weehawken. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
