About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud cat owner with 8 years of firsthand experience caring for my own cat. I understand that cats have their own personalities, routines, and comfort levels- some want lots of attention and playtime, while others prefer a little space and time to warm up. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, attention, and plenty of love (on their terms, of course!). I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable following detailed routines so your cat can stay happy and comfortable in their own home while you’re away. I also know how reassuring it is to see that your cat is doing well, so I’m happy to provide plenty of photos and updates after each visit. I’ll care for your cat the same way I’d want someone to care for mine. 🐱❤️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit cat drop-in visits on nights and weekends. I’m available throughout the week after 5 pm and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits on weekends. I know cats thrive on consistency, so I’ll do my best to keep their feeding, playtime, and care routine as close to normal as possible while you’re away! Your cat’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During drop-in visits, I’ll carefully follow your instructions and your cat’s normal routine so they can feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible in their own home. I’m always mindful of doors and windows to make sure your cat stays safely inside, and I’ll respect your home as if it were my own. I’ll make sure food and water are refreshed, litter boxes are clean, and your cat gets the attention, playtime, or space they prefer. I’ll also send photos and updates after each visit so you can relax knowing your cat is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐱🐾
“Junhui is an incredibly attentive and responsible cat sitter. She always keeps me updated with frequent photos and detailed updates about Doudou’s daily life, which gives me great peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about Doudou and treats her with so much love and responsibility. I truly appreciate her dedication and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“We’ve booked with Irisdelie multiple times to care for our cats, Chai & Latte, and she is absolutely wonderful. She’s extremely attentive, very responsive with updates (our favorite to read while away), and it’s clear she truly cares about animals and takes pride in her work. Our cats adore her and we always feel completely at ease when they’re with her. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“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!”
“Tasnuva did a fantastic job on taking care of our cat and keep the place tidy and clean! She took care of our cat well that our cat doesn't seem stressed at all and moreover she was very happy 😊 I highly recommend her and she does the best!!”
“Nicolle was a wonderful sitter to my cat while I was out on a holiday. She took great care of her while also making sure my home was in a good state for my cat. She is very caring and so loving towards my cat. She played with her, brushed her, petted her. She also made sure all the details were taken care of. Will recommend her and take her services once again :)”
“I highly recommend working with Jeanette. She took excellent care of my shy, senior rescue cat while I was away for Thanksgiving. She’s super responsive, thorough, and incredibly responsible. I hope to work with her again in the future :)”
“Jade was incredible with my cat Daphne! She sent lots of pictures and videos and gave great updates. She spent lots of quality time with her and I came home to a very content kitty :)”

“Molly was amazing! Super patient and thorough - she was flexible with the booking timings and definitely went the extra mile with helping deal with my kitten’s stomach problems 💩. I would absolutely hire her again!”
“Neide took such great care of CJ. It was my first time using Rover so I was nervous but she cared for my cat as if it were her own. She sent daily pictures and even a video.”
“Provided pictures, brought my mail in (without asking), and overall took great care of my cat. Easy communication + flexibility with timing. Would recommend. :)”
“Dan was awesome! He really helped us out on short notice and over a holiday weekend! Great communication and pictures of the kitties. 10/10 would use Dan’s services again!”
“Kourtney took really good care of my cats, Gravy and George. It was really a comfort to know that such a nice person was checking on them while I was gone. Her check-ins were thorough and detailed and included photos.”
“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!”
“Marli did an amazing job watching my two cats while I was out of the country for a week. It is clear that she is a cat lover and enjoyed spending time with them. I wanted someone who would play with my cats and give them affection while I’m gone, not just feed them, and Marli did just that! I could tell from the daily photos she sent me that both my girls were very happy. I came back home to two cats who barely missed me because they had so much fun with Marli.”
About: ** I currently work a full time job during weekdays but can still provide care before/after my work shift ** I provide high level of care, attention, and treat each animal as if they were my own. I take the time to understand routines, personalities, and needs in order to provide high quality of care. I’m patient, dependable, and very attentive to details like feeding schedules, medications, and exercise routines. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need structure and consistency, as well as senior pets who may need extra patience, gentle handling, or special care.

I make sure feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and medications are handled exactly as instructed, while also giving plenty of affection and supervision. I have personal experience caring for my own dog who lived to 16 years and cats I’ve had for over 12 years, which has given me a strong understanding of both puppy/kitten care and senior pet needs. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and comfort. I always communicate regularly with pet parents through updates and photos so they feel confident their pets are well cared for.
About: Hello! I'm Audrey E, and I'm thrilled at the opportunity to be your next one-off or regular pet-sitter! I grew primarily around dogs, specifically American bulldogs, Jack Russell terriers, pitbulls, Shiba Inus, and lab breeds. Since the end of 2024, I’ve gained lots of experience caring for cats as well. I can provide excellent care in playing, feeding, and walking your dogs and/or cats. I also can do overnight stays. I'm unable to do boarding; however, in your home, I will make sure that your pets are comfortable and safe under my care. Here is my availability as of October 6th, 2026: • Mondays through Fridays: available all day, including overnights. • Saturdays and Sundays: available all day, including overnights. • I frequently check on the pets to make sure I let them out at the right times to go to the bathroom. • I make sure they have food and water, and refill when needed. • If the pets are cuddlers, I love cuddling with them.

Irisdelie is a wonderful pet sitter. I totally felt like my fur baby was in the most capable hands. She’s so attentive and took great care of my Jupiter, feeding, playing with her, giving her pets while I was away, taking great pictures, and leaving the best notes. I will absolutely book her again in a heartbeat!
Absolute amazing! Super thoughtful in taking care of our cat in our absence😌Sent us tons of photos and videos by our requests to put our minds at ease. She also did great work in cleaning up when our cat makes a mess🥲 Would 100/100 recommend Junhui for our furry friend.

As of September 2026, there are 12,697 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.
