“Mark has done 2 Drop-Ins for me, and been professional both times. The last time, he was able to send a vid + pics and positive news that my cat was very welcoming to him. Since she likes to snuggle, it's important to me that she has someone there who wants to engage with her in earnest. Mark is a safe and solid bet when it comes to cat care.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I also volunteer at St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center, where I socialize with dogs and cats, take dogs on walks, play with them, and help with their overall care. I’m comfortable feeding pets, providing fresh water, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I’m an active person, so longer walks and hikes are always a pleasure, especially for energetic dogs! I’m also happy to handle the less glamorous parts of pet care. If your pet has an accident inside the house, I have no problem cleaning it up and making sure everything is left clean and comfortable. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with patience, care, and lots of attention while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for morning, midday, afternoon, and evening visits, depending on the day and your pet’s needs. On weekends, I’m available throughout the day and can easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and longer visits. Safety is always my priority. I prefer to keep dogs on a leash during walks and make sure they’re secure and comfortable at all times. Depending on your preferences and your dog’s routine, I can supervise them in the backyard, take them for walks around the neighborhood, or bring them to a dog park for some exercise and playtime. I’ll always follow your instructions and make sure your dog gets the type of activity they’re used to.
“Jordyn is great with our cat and dog! Jordyn has been helping out with our dog for the past couple of months and was eager to help with our cat while we were traveling as well. She is always communicative and kind!”
“I was so nervous leaving my little prince and Leigh made sure he was taken great care of while I was away! She was loving, patient, and did everything the way he likes it! I will definitely be using her again!”
“Emma was amazing with Bronson. She took great care of him while we were away and he was happy and relaxed when we got home. He loved her from their first meet and greet, so we felt very comfortable leaving Bronson with Emma. We would be happy to use Emma again and recommend her to others.”
“Alison was amazing, and accepted drop in visits for our senior cat at the last minute when we had to be out of town. Our cat needed some special attention with medication administration and Alison was great at meeting her extra needs. She also sent us updates and pictures everyday. Book her!”
“Angelica did a wonderful job taking care of our two kitties, Jellybean and Sid, while we were away! Her detailed rover cards with lots of pictures really helped us feel at ease knowing that our fur babies were getting so much love and care. Would definitely book again — thank you so much!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats of all personalities, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own little fur-family. With 6+ years of dog experience and over 20 years of cat care, I’m confident, calm, and totally in tune with what pets need to feel happy and safe. I’ve owned 7+ cats over the years, cared for many pups, and even handled medication and special routines.

Pet care fits naturally into my day because I’m a stay-at-home parent with a very flexible schedule. I’m home often, which makes it easy for me to plan walks, drop-in visits, feeding times, and play sessions around your pet’s needs. Your pet’s comfort and safety come first in my home. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and plenty of space to explore. Inside, I use gates throughout the house to keep pets out of trouble and create a calm, manageable environment. If your pet is used to structure, I can crate them as needed to keep their routine consistent. I also have two playful, friendly dogs who love making new friends and can keep your pup company—whether they enjoy gentle play or just having a buddy nearby. My goal is to make your pet feel at home, loved, and totally comfortable during their stay.

About: I have been caring for pets for my whole life. Not only have I cared for my own dog, I have also been trusted with my friends, families, and neighbors pets. I will value your pets safety, and comfort in all situations. I’m a college student, so I have plenty of free time throughout the week to care for your pets! My schedule is pretty flexible, especially in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I’ll always make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I’ll follow whatever routine you normally have for them and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away.
About: I have hands‑on experience caring for dogs both as an owner and through my work at a pet daycare. I’m skilled in providing daily essentials such as feeding, fresh water, medication administration, and structured walks. I also support general training by reinforcing good habits, maintaining routines, and creating a positive, engaging environment. My calm, reliable approach helps dogs feel secure, stimulated, and well‑cared‑for in any setting. I build their care into the natural rhythm of my day. Before school, I handle feeding, fresh water, and a quick walk or check‑in, and after work I have plenty of time for exercise, training, and attention. Weekends give me longer stretches for enrichment and bonding, so they get steady care throughout the week. I keep pets safe by maintaining a clean, secure environment and following their specific routines and care instructions. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep pets comfortable by sticking to familiar rules and daily habits. In my own home, I provide supervised play, proper enrichment, and a calm atmosphere so pets feel relaxed and well‑cared‑for.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - East Hanover
I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! From the very beginning, they were professional, reliable, and clearly passionate about caring for animals. They took the time to understand my cat’s routine, personality, and needs, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I received regular updates, photos, and little notes that reassured me my cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was obvious my cat felt safe and relaxed, which says everything. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and genuinely caring pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again!

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.

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 .
