“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.”

“Ronit is a life saver! I recently rescued a Maltipoo on 8/24, Ronit met with myself and Mia the next Saturday. We connected right away and booked! Ronit has come in twice a day to check on Mia and walk her while I work in the office. Mia loves Ronit and it’s evident in the pictures and videos documented by Ronit. Ronit is communicative and provides relevant updates on Mia. Ronit definitely has me at ease with taking care of my Mia.”

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.

“I was so worried about leaving my girls for the first time to go on vacation for 4 days but Laura made our worries go away. She visited them 9 and 5 every day, checked their food, water levels and played with them. She was patient with my cautious/shy 10 month old, Mila and so caring to my friendly 4 year old, Mocha. She replied to my concerns right away and alleviated my Cat Mom guilt. She also took such beautiful photos so we never wondered how our girls were doing. If you are worried about leaving your pets like I was, just hire Laura and you will not regret it! I will definitely hire her again and again.. thank you Laura!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities for over 10 years. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, play with, and provide lots of love and attention to their pets. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and administering basic care routines. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’m also very responsible, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos for peace of mind! I work a full-time 9–5 job just 10 minutes from my apartment, which gives me great flexibility throughout the day. I’m able to stop by during my lunch break for walks, potty breaks, and check-ins to make sure your pet is comfortable and cared for. Before and after work, I’m fully available for longer walks, playtime, feeding, and quality time. On weekends, I have even more flexibility to dedicate extra attention and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel at ease. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, routines, and any special instructions you provide. I take precautions during walks, keep a close eye on behavior, and ensure a safe space at all times. I’m also very communicative and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in loving, responsible hands.

About: Hi, I'm Kelly!! 🐾 I'm a teacher in Somerset and a HUGE animal lover. I know how hard it is to leave your babies behind, so I make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you're away. I grew up around dogs my whole life. I have 2 dogs,who I love and adore and help my daughter take care of her 3 cats. For Dogs: Lots of walks, playtime, cuddles, and routine — from energetic pups to sweet seniors, I adjust to their needs. Daily photo & video updates so you don't miss a thing! For Cats: Quiet, cozy care on THEIR terms. No forcing cuddles — just fresh litter, fresh water, playtime (if they want it), and lots of love in their own comfy space. I'm reliable, patient, & respectful and I treat every pet like family. Let's schedule a meet-and-greet — I'd love to meet your fur baby! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I work as a teacher in North Brunswick, so I do drop-ins and walks before school (6-8am), after school (3:30-7pm), and all day on weekends. I live nearby and can do flexible midday visits if needed. I'm super reliable and always send photo updates! I treat your home with total respect — I stick exactly to your pet's routine for feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, and medications. I make sure doors and gates are always secured, water bowls are always full, and your pet gets one-on-one love and attention. I tidy up after myself, bring in mail/packages, and keep you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your baby and home are safe.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of different sizes for a few years now. I love animals and since I have none of my own; I thought pet sitting would be the best opportunity for me to meet people, their families and their pets 😄 I am currently working part time now, so I have lots of time to care for and play with your cats & dogs! I love animals and since I have no pets of my own; this is the best opportunity to show my love for them!! I will definitely make sure your pet(s) is cared for with fresh food and water; also treats ( by owner direction. ) I will also make sure that the environment is safe during my visit, and will definitely reach out if I see anything questionable! I will also provide playtime with your pet(s).

About: I love animals and have experience working with and sitting for a wide range of them, including dogs, cats, and small or exotic animals. I myself have owned over twenty parrots (currently have two in the aviary!) and have extensive experience with fishkeeping — I have four cycled, walstad fish and shrimp tanks! I can walk your dog, clean your cat’s litter box, and even do water changes for your fish if needed! Anything to make sure your little guys are well cared for! I’m a graduate student who will be free over the summer, so my schedule is flexible until late August. I can make myself and my home available as needed. I live in a townhome that features a large, lush, and open neighborhood to walk your dogs in. My home has two floors; the first floor is where your pet will stay. When your pet is in my home, they are treated like members of my family. They will be fed, walked, and enriched on your schedule, and will be allowed to sit on the couch and even sleep in my bed at nights if comfortable. I take great care to ensure that your pet’s stay is comfortable and fun-filled. In my home, I currently have two budgies in a large cage and two betta fish, each in 5-10 gallon tanks. The parrots are allowed to free fly for most of the day, but they will be put away or kept caged when your pets are being boarded. When I am in your home, I cultivate the utmost respect. I try not to disturb or move anything that’s not necessary. I’ll make use of only what’s given to me with regards to caring for your pet, and leave everything else exactly how I found it.

About: I have had dogs and cats and various other small pets since I was 7. I know how to handle dogs of all sizes and how to care for other animals such as cats, fish, rodents… I am very patient and willing to do all the little things your pets need, no instructions is too much if it means giving your pets the care they deserve! I am currently a graduate student getting my doctorate. So I will be able to sit and play with your dogs and study while they have nap time or chill time. I would love to give your animals the care they deserve while also giving myself a little mental break with all your cute pets! If you have a a fenced in yard I will gladly go out and play with the animals or sit with them. I will gladly crate your dogs if you need and ensure everything is locked up and safe for them. I will clean up their potty breaks if you ask me to and will gladly feed and clean up any messes.

“Of course! Here’s a warm, concise review you could leave: Joanne took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure he had everything he needed during each visit. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter! 🐱💙”

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Branchburg

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Branchburg is $32 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $41 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 October 2026, there are 2,842 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Branchburg. 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 .

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 , 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 .

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

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 , 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.
