About: I am certified by the American Red Cross in cat and dog first aid, and I have experience administering oral, optical, and topical medications to pets. I’m a lifelong cat lover and proud owner of three cats, so I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and comfort level. I’m attentive to the little things and always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I work remotely as a software engineer, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to easily fit cat sitting into my day. I can provide morning, midday, and evening visits, administer meals or medications, clean litter boxes, and spend quality time playing with or comforting your cats. My remote work also makes it easy to accommodate last-minute check-ins or longer visits. Caring for my own three cats has given me hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities and needs. Every day I make sure they have fresh food and water, keep their litter boxes clean, monitor their health and behavior, and spend time playing and giving them attention. I’m comfortable recognizing when something seems off, whether it’s changes in appetite, energy, or litter box habits. Since each of my cats has a different personality, I’ve learned to adapt my care to what makes each one feel safe, comfortable, and happy.
“Nicole did an amazing job with our 15-year old grandpa cat while we were out of town. She's friendly and attentive and was very persistent with getting our cat to eat his pill (a tough job even for us). Her Rover comments were detailed and always came with nice pics so we felt comfortable knowing he was being well taken cared of. He loves attention and usually is a little stressed when we return from trips after being without us, but this time he was the most chill we've ever seen him, thanks to the great care he got from Nicole. We look forward to having her catsit again!”
“Mark was fantastic! I could tell right from the start that he was going to try his darnedest to get my shy Moira to connect on his visits - when he instantly started to practice the high-pitched voice I use which Moira best responds to on our initial visit lol! Right out of the gate I think he was able to find her under the bed and engage with Churu! While she didn't allow contact every single day - I have no doubt that he tried and he even succeeded on several. I definitely felt safe having Mark taking care of my shy lil' girl.”
About: I am a reliable and honest worker. I absolutely love all kinds of animals. I will be there for you, as well as your pet. What sets me apart from others is that I have no preferences! I love all dogs and cats - big, small, young, or old. I don’t mind going out on walks or potty runs. I love to get the exercise! I also don’t mind if you need me to stay the night. If you’re on vacation and need me to be at the house multiple times per day I can even do that. Whatever you need I’ll be sure to provide it. I have a flexible schedule which will be convenient for this job. I am so excited for this opportunity, thanks :) Best, Jaden I work fully remotely and have a very flexible schedule, which makes pet care easy to incorporate into my daily routine. I’m able to take breaks throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feedings, and check-ins, while still keeping up with my work. This flexibility also allows me to accommodate overnight stays or multiple visits when needed. I’m happy to provide care in your home, where your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m also very flexible with travel and have my own car, so I can easily commute to you for drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays. While I’m not able to offer regular boarding at my apartment, I’m happy to work with you to find the setup that’s most comfortable and convenient for your pet!
“Vanessa was fantastic and professional when she came to our house to walk our dog Roxy. She was prompt, able to calmly interact with our special needs dog and provided multiple pictures and updates during her one hour stay! We will be using her as a regular sitter from now on!”
“Megan was very caring and took great care of our cat. She was always on time and followed all instructions without missing a beat. She even took time to sit with him for some cuddles. We would definitely use her again to care for our senior cat.”

“Anne has done an amazing job with my little ones, making sure they were fed, had clean water, had their daily portion of favorite snacks/veggies and daily portion of cuddles. We love her !”
“Kristen was extremely responsive and helpful when we needed someone to check in on our pup last minute and our regular walkers were unavailable. She made time to stop by the day before to understand our dog’s routine and any other pertinent information. She was easy to get in touch with the day of the walk, and even kept me informed regarding some bad weather we had. I felt like my dog was happy and well taken care of with the pictures she included in the report card. Would recommend and use again!”
“Yifei is an incredible sitter! She is proactive, attentive, and present with Mr. Scout. She leaves plenty of pictures and videos making me feel comfortable knowing Mr. Scout is getting the best care and attention during my time away. I would absolutely recommend Yifei and will be looking to book with her in the future.”
“Erin had great communication throughout the whole process. Our meet & greet was seamless and the whole visit went great with our dog! Highly recommend. We will be booking Erin for future needs!”
“Alondra is a great care giver for my dog, Sasha. She always arrives on time and communicates very well, with updates and pictures. Sasha loves Alondra, who walks her, feeds her and loves on her. We are lucky to know that Alondra is caring for our dog when we are away.”
About: I am a pet owner with extensive sitting experience. I know how important it is to have someone that is good with animals when you are away and believe that I can deliver that for you. I currently have flexibility during the day. I am available Monday through Friday 8 am to 4 pm. I have availability during weekend days and evenings. I currently have a home with plenty of space. I have nice backyard. Although it is not fenced in, we have space to walk and enjoy the outside. I also have 2 children and 1 mild mannered dog.
“Kelsey was with Winston for a longer period of time. Eventhough he was very anxious, she was able to calm him down. She adjusted to his needs by playing with him, taking him out and playing calming music. She also sent 3 beautiful pictures. Her being with Winston gave us peace of mind and we trust her a 100%!”
“Lindsay set my mind and heart completely at ease as she took such attentive care of my cat Phoebe! It was my first time leaving Phoebe for an extended amount of time and I didn’t have to worry about a thing because I got excellent pics and updates along the way. 10 out of 10 highly recommend!!!”

Meghan was absolutely AMAZING with our three cats. She came by twice a day and spent a long time with the cats. She sent pictures and updates every day and made sure the cats were comfortable while we were gone. She even went above and beyond and cleaned out all the cat bowls, cleaned some of the carpet from a cat’s accident, and took out the trash. I would highly recommend Meghan! Thank you so much Meghan!!
Daniela provided truly exceptional cat sitting for our cat, Merlina. From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, taking the time to understand and meticulously note every detail and instruction related to Merlina's routine. It was clear that Daniela cared for Merlina with great attention. She followed all of our specific instructions perfectly, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. When we returned, Merlina was comfortable, relaxed, and happy, which is the best indicator of the excellent care she received. We highly recommend Daniela for anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and detail-oriented cat sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 12,025 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Cedar Knolls. 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cedar Knolls. On Rover:
- 87% 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.
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.
