“My kittens were definitely well cared for. This was the first time they were away from us since we go them when they were one week old and it was 12 days. We fully expected them to let us know how upset they were with us; however they reacclimated quickly and are just seeking a little extra attention. I think Eimy did a great job.”

“I recommend Ian! He took very good care of my cats. He cares. While I was gone, he would call me and express concern if he suspected something was wrong. He was there on time every day for weeks, and always sent me pictures and updates. He even did the cutest drawing of my cat Winston and taped it onto the kitchen cabinet, which I appreciated. I will definitely call on him again to take care of my cats.”

About: Hello, I have been working in petcare professionally for 10 years. A meet n greet in PERSON is mandatory for my services. It prevents confusion and distrust and i'd like the animal themselves to be comfortable overall. If you do not think this matters in your petcare needs we are not a good fit for another. Do not send me requests JUST before your sitting is needed. I do not do rushed last minute bookings. I make the time as long as my time doing it is respected. This is part of my daily routine so be sure to promptly send updates for care needs. I can offer a wide range of care preferences. Let me know what your pets home life style is and we can go from there.

About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals for my whole life and professionally for 15+ years. I'm comfortable caring for dogs and cats that are senior, young, need medication administered, as well as large and small breeds. I've had all kinds of pets in my life including small+ large dogs, cats, reptiles, birds and rodents. I specialize in caring for high energy and anxious dogs. Most recently I've professionally cared for chickens and goats and find lots of similarities between goats and playful dogs. I approach all animals with love, respect and dignified care. I currently have one cat and one dog. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pet with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind by ensuring that I will treat your animals with the patience, love and respect that I would my own. You can expect clear communication, timely updates and plenty of photos so you never have to worry about how your animals are doing while in my care. With many years of caring for animals I have a clear understanding that every animal has their own personality and needs and I take the time to make sure every pet feels understood and loved. I'm currently home full time and am available for drop ins and walks as needed! I'm also very flexible and am available to accept last minute bookings. I'm based in Jersey City and can walk, drive or take public transit to come take care of your sweet critter(s)! I'm very safety oriented and will care for your animals as if they were my own. I am very careful about the toys, food and objects that your animal has access to. I like to meet the animal and family beforehand to establish trust, ensure safe interaction and overall good fit! I also will ask if there is anything I need to know about the animals behavior or special needs to ensure I am meeting all their needs.

She made sure to send me photos, videos, and updates each visit, and I felt incredibly comfortable with her in my home! You can tell she truly cares and interacts with your pet. Absolutely recommend, and will use her in the future to watch my little guy!”

About: I have been a devoted cat parent for over 10 years, which has given me a deep understanding of feline behavior and unique personalities. I can easily read a cat's body language to know when they feel completely comfortable or when they need space. I understand how stressful it can be for a cat to leave their safe environment, which is why in-home visits are so crucial to keep their daily routine intact. I am also very passionate about balanced feline nutrition and proper portion control to prevent obesity and keep them healthy for the long run. I am naturally loving and affectionate with cats, but always respectful of their boundaries and personal space. Just tell me about your furry friend’s habits and routine, and I will be there to provide attentiveness, love, and care while respecting their home. I truly appreciate and value the trust you place in me to care for your beloved pet! My native language is Spanish, and I have basic/conversational English. However, I communicate effectively via text and promise clear, timely updates, daily reports, and photos of your cat during every visit! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I manage a very structured schedule. I have open availability all day on Saturdays. From Sunday through Friday, I am available every morning until 12:00 PM. Additionally, if your cat needs a late-night check-in, I am fully available after 10:00 PM and guarantee prompt, on-time visits to keep their routine intact! Every cat is unique, so my approach to safety and care in the client’s home is completely tailored to their individual personality. Prior to any visit, I always gather details about their preferences: whether they love affection and playtime, or if they simply prefer a quiet environment where their food, fresh water, and litter box are promptly taken care of with minimal contact. Respecting a cat's personal boundaries, comfort level, and daily routine is my top priority to ensure a stress-free experience for them while keeping their home safe and secure.

About: I pride myself in spreading all of my love and compassion to every animal that I come across. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Nothing makes me happier than seeing happy pets, and giving their owners peace of mind that they are in safe hands. I have hundreds of 5 star reviews, and positive references detailing my work in all types of services with many different types of animals. I will always go above and beyond to care for any pet in my care, it's what I'm ultimately passionate about. I am incredibly flexible with my schedule, I do pet services full time and I'm always open to accommodating however I can. With open communication, anything is possible! My home has a fenced backyard, with a private security system. I make sure that I keep ample treats, toys, and enrichment activities in the home and I love taking the pets out for walks or just to explore the town. If I'm offering services outside of my home, I will always treat your space with respect and make sure that every request is thoroughly taken care of.

About: I've lived with cats most of my life and love to take care of them. In addition to cat sitting, I have experience volunteering in shelters and fostering cats/kittens. I adopted my cat Eddie in 2021—he is a sweet, friendly, and lazy orange tabby. I am currently a freelancer, so I have pretty wide open availability to take care of your cat. I am available on both weekdays and weekends. Letting someone into your home to take care of your cat requires trust. I take safety very seriously and I will be respectful and responsive during the process.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, including two dogs and two cats, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I currently have my own 9-month-old French Bulldog who is very well-socialized, friendly, and comfortable around other dogs. I also have hands-on experience caring for French Bulldogs and puppies. I helped with a litter of 9 Frenchie puppies, assisting with feedings, cleaning, potty time, daily care, and eventually helping with their training as they grew. I’ve also cared for up to 6 Frenchies at once and have experience managing feeding routines for multiple dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and understand how important patience, consistency, attention, and safety are when caring for someone’s pet. I treat every dog as if they were my own and want every pup in my care to feel happy, comfortable, and loved. 🐾❤️ I have free time all the time as I work from home and are doing online schooling in my last year of undergrad at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. I have a spacious apartment with a 100 square foot balcony that is turfed and routinely cleaned area for my French Bulldog to potty if needed. I take my dog out every 4 hours on a walk. We have a park a block away from my apartment.

About: Hi 👋 I’m Anthony. I’ve been on Rover for over two years now. I love pets, was never allowed to have them growing up. Dogs are my favorite but I’m great with cats and all my friends are cat owners! Still don’t have the place in my life to have my own yet, so I’m very enthusiastic about taking care of others’ pets like they are my own. I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats on Rover. A lot of them are posted above in the photos (cuties). From senior dogs and cats to puppies, hosting in my home at separate times as well. Medicine trained. Never had any issues. I am also great at behavioral training with treats if need be. My prices are after my time of experience in this pet world and with the fees on this app. I’m one of the best. This is my only job at the moment. I’m always updating owners with videos, pictures, and texts. Making sure you know they are safe and comfortable. I never cancel and always show up. I make sure I dot my p’s and q’s. A lot of the time, it ends up being more time than alotted. I don’t have a car, so either I walk or take transportation. 30 minute drop ins or walks actually end up being closer to an hour because I like being with the pets and don’t mind giving them a long walk like most of them want. 😂I’m always paying attention and create a safe environment for any pet to make sure they’re happy just like me. House sitting I tend to have to adjust to the home of others and clean up after myself, while updating you throughout, for when you arrive home. I work from home, editing and social media, on my own schedule. So I’m always free and flexible if we can make it work. Shouldn’t be an issue. I love playing with pets and cuddling always. I’m a runner and love to match their energy. I also make sure they aren’t doing anything they aren’t supposed to be doing. I make sure they are happy and comfortable at all times

Zohra was extremely kind right from the start and so communicative! She asked thoughtful questions that showed a high level of attention to detail for our cat's care. Without us even having to ask, she provided photo updates and let us know exactly when she was arriving and leaving. She was also incredibly sweet and patient with me—this was my first time having someone come into our home to watch our cat, and she made the whole process seamless. I even learned a few things that will make the routine more efficient for next time. Zohra was wonderful, easygoing, and kind through it all. I could not recommend her more!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Bayonne

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Bayonne is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 per visit. 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.

As of November 2026, there are 3,613 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Bayonne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bayonne. On Rover:

  • 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 88% 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.

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.
