About: I am a reliable pet sitter. I have cared for multiple furry friends going back about 10 years. I have experience caring for both dogs (small, medium, and large) and cats. I primarily have hosted animals in my house, but I also have experience going to other houses to care for animals. I love animals and I can't wait to connect with you! I’m currently working part time, but I have ample time to take care of your pets. I work in the morning from 7-9 and in the afternoon from 2:30-6:30, but will always have family home to assist in caring for pets. I have a fenced in spacious yard for your furry friends to play in. I have a pet friendly home with plenty of room. My furniture, if your pets are allowed on, is comfy for animals.

About: As a veterinary technician and proud dog mom of two Cavaliers, I understand how important it is to find someone reliable for your pets. With years of hands-on experience and a genuine love for animals, I make sure each dog or cat feels safe, happy, and cared for—just like they do at home When I’m not at the veterinary clinic, I love spending my extra time caring for pets in my community. With flexible availability during the week and weekends, I’m here to make sure your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure every walk is secure, every visit is calm, and every animal feels loved and cared for. With experience in a veterinary clinic and as a dog mom myself, I know how to create a safe and happy environment for every pet I meet.

About: I grew up in a house with lots of pets, both cats and dogs. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to look in on and take care of their beloved pets since I was a teenager. I know what it means to love an animal as your own, and I promise to treat your fur baby or babies with the same love I show my own. I work full time, Monday to Friday, 9-5. I'm available to stop by before and after work, as well as midday (I work in downtown Westfield and can pop out on my lunch as I please). Weekends are generally pretty free. I always make sure they are fed and watered on time, according to their schedules. I make sure they have plenty of toys for solo play when I have to be away. I always make sure all doors to off limits areas are closed when leaving the house.

We were so impressed when she told us our cats came out for pets because they’re so people shy! They really warmed up to her. It was so relaxing to go on vacation knowing our cats were in great hands.”

About: I’ve been a pet owner since the age of 12 and have had the privilege to care for cats from newborns, rescues and seniors. I am currently volunteering at Friends of Linden Animal Shelter, where I provide care and support animals as they wait to be adopted into loving homes. I am passionate about animal welfare and with my background in Social Work am aware of how our pets play a role in the family dynamic. Looking forward to servicing every pet as if they are my own. My current work schedule allows me to care for your pups and kitties on weekdays after 6pm. I'm available for boarding on weekends. I am flexible to discuss availability to meet your pets needs. I provide attentive care while pets remain in the comfort of their own home and routine. Care includes feeding, fresh water, walks and playtime, litter box or waste cleanup. I provide updates via messages and photos to help ensure peace for owners while they are away.

About: Hi there! 😊 My name is Anahi and I have been a dedicated pet sitter for the past nine years. It all started when I got my first dog at the age of five 💕🐶 Growing up alongside my furry companion, I developed a deep love and understanding for animals, which eventually led me to become a trusted pet sitter in my community. At the age of 14, I took on the responsibility of caring for not only dogs but also cats, extending my services to family friends and neighbors. Whether it's walking them or giving them a refreshing bath, I take pride in ensuring that each and every pet under my care receives the love, attention, and proper care they deserve. Over the years, I have built strong bonds with the animals I look after, establishing a sense of trust and companionship that makes their time away from their owners as comfortable as possible. With my experience and passion for animals, I strive to create a safe and enjoyable environment for them, making their well-being my top priority. If you are looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter, I would be more than happy to extend my services to your furry friends. Feel free to reach out to me, and together, we can ensure that your pets receive the love and care they deserve while you are away!!!! I have the perfect combination of having a part-time job and a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate ample time to playing and caring for your pet. With my part-time job, I have a great deal of availability on weekdays and can easily accommodate your pet's needs. Whether it's providing companionship, taking them for walks, or even assisting with baths, I am committed to ensuring your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Having a lot of free time gives me the opportunity to create a schedule that aligns perfectly with your pet's routine. When you choose me as your pet sitter, I will come to your home to provide the care and attention your pet deserves. This arrangement offers several benefits, as your pet can remain in their familiar surroundings, surrounded by their own toys, bed, and comforting scents. This helps to minimize any potential stress or anxiety that can occur when pets are taken out of their usual environment. During my pet sitting visits, I will ensure that your pet's daily routine is maintained as closely as possible.

About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs since I was little, so animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have a loving 7-year-old Pit Bull, and being a pet parent has taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I absolutely love animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that means going for walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company. My family and friends have always trusted me to care for their pets when they’re out of town, busy, or just need an extra hand. I’ve cared for dogs and cats with different personalities and needs, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I want every animal in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and spoiled while their humans are away! My work schedule gives me the flexibility to incorporate pet sitting into my daily and weekly routine. I work throughout New Jersey, so I’m often able to adjust my schedule and make time to care for your pets when they need me. Whether it’s stopping by for a visit, feeding, playtime, or giving them some extra love and attention, I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care while making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. For dog walks, I’ll make sure your pup gets a safe, enjoyable walk with plenty of time to sniff, explore, and get some energy out. For check-ins, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any other needs your pet may have. I’ll also give them plenty of attention and affection so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

Jiajia did an amazing job taking care of my cats! She made sure she had all the information and practiced giving my cat medicine before we left. She spent time with my more social cat and I was so surprised to see that my very shy cat that usually hides came out to see her and ask for pets. She is a wonderful cat sitter and I would definitely recommend her and hire her again.

This is the second time Emily has petsit for my 2 cats. As always she was amazing. My first experience was back in February when I had to go on an extended work trip for 10 days. Emily was amazing and my 2 cats warmed right up to her. She took such great care of them. She went above and beyond even making it to take care of them during the blizzard. I cannot recommend Emily enough. She will love your pets like they are her own making sure their needs are met while giving lots of play time and cuddles. She even got my extremely timid cat to take her medicine twice a day- an amazing feat!! Her updates and communication were thorough and put me at ease while I was away. I highly recommend her to everyone in the area and will be booking her for my future pet sitting needs.

Shannon provided cat sitting for my two cats over a period of a week via daily drop ins. She was detailed and thorough in her meet and great. Shannon was intentive to my cats needs, kept me updated throughout my travel, and made sure to exercise my cats the best one can. She easily navigated my automated cat feeders, kept the litter box clean, and made sure to tidy up any messes the cats may have made between visits. I'm sure the boys will miss their daily play time and tube treat sessions with Shannon! Will be sure to book again.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Cranford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Cranford is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 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 3,511 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Cranford. 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 Cranford. On Rover:

  • 81% 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.
