“Roselie did a GREAT job with our two cats. During her meet and greet before starting drop ins, she brought treats to help our cats get comfortable around her. She sends several pictures and leaves thorough notes during her check ins, and I just know that our kitties are happy and treated well while in her care. Would recommend Roselie to anyone looking for a sitter for cats!”

“Paola was amazing with my cat, Jack! She sent great updates and adorable photos, which really put me at ease while I was away (especially since this was the first time I’ve left him for an extended period of time). She clearly cares a lot about animals and even brought in a package for me, which I really appreciated! I came home to a very happy cat and would definitely recommend ! :)”

“Maryanne was absolutely wonderful with our very shy cat! She was able to coax him out of hiding and actually create a friend! He played with her, followed her around and purred! He has never done that with someone new. It meant so much to us to know that he was well taken care of and happy! I highly recommend her.”

About: Cat lady!!! In addition to my two grown children I have been taking care of cats my entire adult life. I currently am a cat mom to four beautiful kitties 😻😻😻😻. I have also been a foster to multiple cats and have TNR’d multiple neighborhood strays. I am newly retired in the business world and now want to make my passion for cats a part of my daily routine.

“Cassidy took such great care of our 3 cats while we were gone! She was reliable and sent us tons of photo and video updates! She checked in when concerns arose and was kind enough to even vacuum when our kitties made some messes. We are so glad to have found Cassidy and will absolutely be booking with her in the future! If you’re looking for a kind, trustworthy person to care for your fur babies look no further!”

About: I have years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. High-energy dogs get real exercise thanks to my competitive soccer background, while puppies, seniors, and shy cats get patience and a routine that matches what they know from home. I work from home Mondays and Fridays, so pets get genuine attention and company, not just a quick check-in. Expect photo updates, fast communication, and a happy pet when you walk in the door. Pet care fits naturally into my week. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, so pets staying with me those days have company from morning to night, with walks, play sessions, and meals built right into my day. On weekends I'm home and fully available, which makes Friday through Sunday stays easy and stress-free. My schedule is consistent week to week, so your pet gets a reliable routine: morning walk or feeding, midday play and attention, and evening wind-down time. I'm an active person, so daily exercise is never skipped. In my home, pets are part of the family. Dogs get multiple daily walks, playtime, and constant company since I work from home Mondays and Fridays and I'm around all weekend. I keep your pet's feeding schedule and routine exactly the same as at home so the stay feels familiar. Cats get a quiet, consistent setup with their litter, food, and favorite spots. In your home, I follow your routine exactly: feeding, walks, litter, and anything else your pet needs, plus photo updates every visit so you know they're doing great.

About: I’ve been taking care of my own dog for 4 years, so I know how much love, patience, and attention dogs need. I can help with walks, feeding, playtime, and sticking to their routine. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, so I’m comfortable using Spanish commands if that’s what your dog is used to. I’ll always treat your pet like my own. I currently have availability Friday through Monday from 8:00 AM–12:00 PM and 5:00 PM–12:00 AM. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and love while staying on their normal routine. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’m committed to making your pet feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I always respect your home and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, meals on time, exercise, playtime, and lots of love and attention. My goal is to keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.

“Genesis, now formally known to both Sunny and I as Auntie G, took care of Sunny like he was her own. She came to the rescue when I needed a sitter last minute for ten days!!! and gained my trust throughout. Genesis reached out before I could while on vacation and sent constant check ins to let me know the status of Sunny. Genesis is trustworthy and genuinely cares so much for my Sunny boy. She even gifted us a toy that Sunny grew fond of. I will absolutely no doubt book with her again. Thank you again!!”

I’ll follow whatever routine you normally have for them and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away.

About: Hi! My name is Rosie and I have been caring for pets for friends, neighbors, and families for many years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, overnight stays, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve while their owners are away. Outside of pet sitting, I have years of babysitting experience, a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Seton Hall University, and I am currently in nursing school. My background has taught me responsibility, patience, and attention to detail. I’m dependable, caring, and will treat your pets like they are my own. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you feel comfortable while away! I am currently available all summer with a very flexible schedule and would love to help care for your pets while you’re away on vacations, working long hours, or just need an extra helping hand. I am available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine including feeding times, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of love and attention. I will be starting nursing school again in September, so my availability may change slightly, but I will always communicate ahead of time and do my best to continue providing reliable, consistent care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. I will always treat your pets like they are my own by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am respectful of every owner’s home and will follow all instructions, routines, feeding schedules, and special requests to provide the best care possible.

Roselie was amazing! I was in need of a last minute cat sitter and she was so flexible and quick to respond. In our first meeting, she was so thoughtful with all the questions she had and even brought treats to help with a warm intro to my kitties :) Through the week, Roselie was attentive and helpful with all updates and was great help. Would definitely recommend!

Emily took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. She was kind, friendly, and asked thoughtful questions about their care, which gave us a lot of confidence. She followed our instructions carefully, including the little details around feeding and disposing of empty cat food cans, which we really appreciated. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and a tidy feeding area. We would gladly book Emily again.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Bernards

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Bernards is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $37 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 3,151 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Bernards. 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 Bernards. On Rover:

  • 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% 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.
