“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!”
“Absolutely AMAZING help on incredibly short notice, and everybody loved him! Including my very skittish cat that usually hides from strangers :) Thank you so much again for all your help!!”
“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.”
“Ashlee was an amazing fit for our Banji and our baby took to her very quickly ! The photo updates were amazing, and it was such a joy working with her. We will be booking her again !!”
“Once again Cameron did an incredible job watching my babies. Her pictures and comments put me at such ease. She was even able to step in at the last moment when I wasn't making it home on time. Highly highly recommended.”
About: I offer calm and attentive in-home pet care, emphasizing routine, cleanliness, and clear communication through photos and video updates to ensure your peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work part-time from home, which allows flexibility for reliable drop-in visits and overnight care. I plan my schedule around bookings to ensure every visit is consistent and unrushed. I treat pets like family while in their own home. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keeping to feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special needs. I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness, while keeping owners updated with messages and photos.
“Tom showed up on time and quickly got acquainted with our doggies. Doggies warmed up to him quickly. He spent some time with them as we will need him for future visits. He seems to be truly caring for furry friends.”
“She was wonderful with my knuckle head German Shepard. She walked, feed, and played with him even though he’s an excited nervous dog. She updated me on anything that happened while I was gone for my 5days and even with pictures! Marlita even went one step above and gave me tips and tricks to help with my dogs anxiety and I couldn’t have asked for more. Her jovial attitude has had a profound effect on me and my dog and I will definitely use her again.”
“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.”
“Sadi was so great watching my cat while I was away. I had never left my cat for super long before and it was so comforting knowing that he was well taken care of! She also sent so many pictures which was amazing! Definitely would recommend and re-book with her!”
“Mirielle showed up on time and took good care of Bootsy. She's pleasant to both dogs and their associated humans. It made a long night out more fun because we didn't have to worry about Bootsy.”
“It has truly been a pleasure having Zoë as our cat sitter while we were on vacation. Zoë is very pleasant, thorough and thoughtful. She checked in every day with updates, suggestions that were greatly appreciated and even navigated minor challenges very professionally! I will definitely re-book in the future and highly recommend Zoë as a great caregiver! Thank you Zoë🫶🏽”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I helped care for our two family dogs whenever needed. Walks, feedings, playtime, you name it. Now I have my own puppy, who I have been raising for 8 weeks old, so I know all about the energy pups need. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they get plenty of exercise, love, and attention. I AM available after 4:30pm just reach out and let me know if you need availability on the weekends! I WFH 4 times a week, Thursday I am not home. I am around for walks, potty breaks, and feeding. I love going to the dog parks after work to make sure they get the physical excersize they need. I always treat the pet with respect, making sure they get the space they need while also giving them the attention they need. I always make sure the pet feels at home, by keeping their routine. I thoroughly follow any instructions provided by pet parent such as feeding, exercise, medication, etc… I have my own puppy therefore the pet will never be alone.
“Jamie-Ann is amazing! She has won the confidence of my very shy cat. I can’t tell you how much better I feel about traveling knowing Jamie-Ann will be there for Harley.”
“Nicole is so patient, kind, and friendly. My pets are all older and I could immediately see upon meeting her that she would be the best fit. My apartment was tidy and the dishes she used were washed and on the counter. I couldn't have asked for anything better. I highly recommend Nicole!”
“Lilian was great. Adequately executed her role with my babies. I cannot believe Leo came out from hiding lol Highly recommended. Thanks so much Lilian. Will use again 🙏🏼”

Irene did a great job caring for our cat George! This was our first time booking with her for a 5 day trip. George was comfortable with her and we had no issues. Irene was very communicative, sent lots of pictures and followed all of our instructions. We look forward to booking her again!
Hira did an amazing job at looking after our cat. She was very responsive and flexible. She was able to get our cat to play with her which is not an easy thing to do and administered medication.Our cat isn’t very social so this was huge. We will absolutely be rebooking with her !
This is my second booking with Nicole. I was out of town for 5 days and I felt completely relaxed and without a worry because Nicole was watching my pets. I highly recommend hiring Nicole - she is kind, patient, caring, professional, and just an overall great person!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in East Orange on Rover is $33.3 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 27,632 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across East Orange. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a East Orange stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Orange. On Rover:
- 88% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
