“Irene was a fantastic cat sitter. She was reliable, communicative and very playful with our cat. She even brought her iPad to entertain our cat with cat games. He alap ate his wet food while she was around, which let us know he felt very comfortable and taken care of by her.”
“Deliris was a great help! She took her time with my kitties and gave them some very needed interaction. She is a great communicator and never left me wondering about what was going on. I would definitely book her again!”
“Jade was absolutely incredible. I have 4 crazy Aussies that are full of energy but also full of love. Jade paid close attention to all my directions and my dogs were so happy to have her come see them every day. She gave them lots of love and worked on tricks with them to keep them engaged. I would recommend Jade to anyone who needs pet sitting or dog walking. She was wonderful.”
“Lilian was great with our cats! She took amazing photos and cared for them like they were her own. She even played with them and got action shots!! She is a fantastic pet sitter and we would recommend her without reservation!! ~Rhonda & Mike”
“Irisdelie was amazing, great communication and so so wonderful with my cats. Provided great updates with adorable pictures after each visit. I felt very comfortable and happy knowing my babes were being well cared for and loved while I was away.”
About: I grew up with and took care of a sweet and energetic yorkipoo named Milo. He passed away a few of years ago at 15 with dementia and nerve issues. I also lived with an elderly, blind maltese-bichon mix, Coco for three years and helped take care of her as well. I am comfortable and experienced with older dogs that require more medical attention but am more than happy to help with younger pups as well! I also have some experience cat-sitting for friends. I am currently on summer break, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I am especially available during weekdays at any time. However, I am available many weekends as well. I like to give pets ample attention and whatever each individual pet needs. I know each pet is different and I will adapt to your pet’s personality whether that’s high energy or more calm.
“Karollyne was communicative and attentive. She shared multiple photos each time she dropped in on our two cats. It was a long trip and I was nervous about being away, but Karollyne made me feel at ease.”
“Joni is just amazing!! Our pup Milo loves Joni. She walks Milo 3 days a week and helps us out in a pinch. We get great updates from her. She’s helped Milo learn how to go on little bike runs with her and tires our little boy out when needed! She’s also so patient with Milo. We love her and recommend her for all your puppy needs :))))”
About: I've been pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. Apart from my current two dogs, I've also raised three previous dogs from being a puppy into their senior years. I'm a firm believer in positive reinforcement training, every dog deserves the utmost love and care. I own my own business and set my own hours so I can accommodate anyone's pet care needs. I'm fine with short notice requests and can work with anyone's schedule! I have two dogs that can run around freely in my fenced in backyard. They each get at least two solo shorter walks (about 15 minutes around the park we live next to) per day and an additional longer walk (around 45-60 minutes) once my girlfriend gets home from work where we walk both together.
About: I love dogs of all sizes. I have my own senior dog and have took care of other dogs in the past. Happy to take on walks or watch them. I work from home and am free on weekends. Happy to go on long or short walks. I can do mornings, some afternoons and evenings. I am super careful with dogs especially as my senior dog is not friendly so I am aware of being careful. I build trust and know the signs of aggression.
“I have been meaning to leave Molly a review for a long time! I’ll summarize why she’s an incredible cat sitter below. 1) You can tell she really cares about our cats. 2) She always sends fun updates. 3) She put a lot of effort into winning over our super shy cat who has NEVER come out for a cat sitter. Now he rolls over for belly rubs when she comes over! (How do I know? See point 2) This last time really takes the cake though and is what compelled me to write a review. I made an error on the booking and missed a whole day in the middle of our vacation. Molly reached out ahead of time and asked about the missing date, which I appreciated SO MUCH because I would have been worried sick about the boys being left alone or without food for a full day. I’m so glad she reached out and the peace of mind I get for knowing my cats are in good hands is worth everything. If she’s looking for the extra business, you should absolutely book her for your pet sitting services.”
“Thomas is amazing with my dog. He helps me every week going in to walk him while everyone is at work. He’s become one of my dog’s best friends and couldn’t ask for anything more! Reliable and consistent!”
About: Since birth, I grew up around all different kinds of animals. I’ve raised 3 beautiful pit bulls and lab mix while also having the opportunity to dog sit friends pets from Golden Retriever’s to Yorkies. I am currently going to school part-time so I have plenty of free time to watch over your pets! My schedule is very flexible and easy to work around. I have a fenced backyard as well as front yard. I love playing fetch with my dog while also playing tag. After tricks, she loves receiving her treats.
“We have Nicolle drop by 1-2x a week to let our dogs out for an afternoon break and play with them. She's great! The dogs love her and she's very flexible and easy to work with. Will definitely continue to have her drop in and would recommend her for others!”
“Jadis was great with my cat, Luna. She read through all my instructions and took excellent care of Luna. I enjoyed the cute photos she took in each of her visits. Luna instantly became friends with her.”
“Marlita has checked in on our cat twice. She is very knowledgeable of cats and extremely thorough and reliable. Each time, we have felt at ease with our cat in her care. Overall, we have had great experiences with using Marlita’s services. She does a fantastic job! We would recommend Marlita to anyone looking for a cat sitter in this area.”
About: La mayoría de tiempo cuido perros o gatos a familiares, amigos y conocidos, me encanta pasar el tiempo con ellos y brindar mi amor. Trabajo por las mañanas puedo ofrecer el bienestar de tu mascota en fines de semanas desde el sábado por la tarde hasta el domingo con mucha seguridad. Tengo un pequeño jardín pero si prefieres se puede llevar al parque más cercano de tu zona para el cuidado de tu mascota.
“Neide was absolutely fantastic taking care of our two cats while we were on vacation! I really appreciated getting videos of the cats and was happy to see them snuggling and playing with her from the start. Neide did a great job giving them wet and dry food, changing their water, and scooping their box every day. I will definitely be using Neide again in the future!”
“Nina was fantastic. She was so sweet with my puppy, very communicative and made sure he had a blast. She has a great demeanor and was so flexible with me when I booked last minute. Looking forward to being a repeat client!”

naveah was a great care giver for my cat and gave me so much peace of mind while away for work. she’s extremely communicative, prompt, and attentive to my requests and changes to schedule when they arose. grateful to have found her and will be using her services again ✨
Joni was a wonderful sitter for Tigger! She communicated well throughout the stay and took great care of him — including giving him his medication and gently comforting him when he was scared. The only minor hiccup was with the Rover card check-in timing (either forgetting or tapping a bit too early), but that’s a small thing. Overall, I’d highly recommend her and would definitely book again!
Kayla is the most amazing sitter! She takes care of my babies with utmost attention to detail, and timeliness. She takes really fun pics for the rover card, I love reading her messages and pictures on those cards and looking forward to viewing them every time. She even got into a car accident but still came to a morning session not much delayed! She only mentioned to us about the accident after we came back. Such kindhearted and passionate animal lover and carer! I would recommend Kayla to anyone in needs, and it’s super rare for me to leave a review. Thank you Kayla for everything you did for my babies in the last two weeks!
Jamie-Ann was absolutely wonderful! definitely went above and beyond to make my kitties feel comfortable and loved- knowing she is such a kind warm hearted young lady- I felt relieved that I found her! My cats were happy to see us, and I could tell they were well taken care of and loved by Jamie-Ann- She was a perfect fit for our family and I can’t thank her enough for the photos and the sense of calm I felt while on vacation. thank you so very much Jamie-Ann and Rover, highly recommend her! Julie
Rebecca did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats giving them treats, probiotics, and lots of love. Even our more shy cat warmed up to her quickly. Rebecca kindly vacuumed up the cat hair a few times also which we greatly appreciated. We look forward to booking with her again!
Mario has been such a reliable and caring sitter for my cat, Mits. He’s always willing to help—even with last-minute requests—which I really appreciate. I can tell Mits is genuinely happy to see him, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. It’s clear Mario truly cares about the pets he looks after, and I’m very grateful to have someone so dependable checking in on Mits!
Lilian was absolutely amazing with our cat, Loki! She was kind, professional, and incredibly attentive to Loki’s routine and care while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Loki was in such loving and capable hands. We couldn’t recommend Lilian more highly!
Marlita did a wonderful job caring for my cat while I was away, I could tell from her feedback and pictures my cat was loved and cared for. He loved her company so much! She also was a great help as I needed her caregiving last minute and she was available, which I truly appreciate. Looking forward to working with Marlita again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in East Newark on Rover is $33.3 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 12,169 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across East Newark. 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.

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.
