About: Nature, animals and science-- always a huge part of my life! I've been teaching middle school science for 26 years. My classroom animals include a hermit crab, fish, a frog and a tank of Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches. At home we have a cat and a fish tank (and over the summer, the school menagerie comes home). I'm a mom to two young men on the autism spectrum; I understand patience and unconditional love. I am teaching my 26th year of middle school science; my classroom is filled with all sort of animals! My availability to care for your baby will be wide open during the summer. Your baby is in good hands with me. Tell me your pet's normal routine (exact feeding times, medication administration, and preferred exercise or walk routes) and it will be followed. As a mom (human and fur babies), I understand the need for security and keeping gates and doors locked securely.
“Lisbeth is a great person with an awesome heart! She takes such good care of our pup. She’s great at communication and she looks out for our pups well being. Nothing but great things to say about Lisbeth. Thank you Lisbeth!!!”
About: Save on your first visit for any service. I have been pet sitting for friends and neighbors for over 20 years. I grew up with cats and dogs. I love helping animals. I’m here to make your pet feel comfortable, happy and safe. I have been professionally dog walking for a company for a few years. I’m branching out and starting my own company. I have full availability days, nights, weekends. I’m available for short or long visits. I would love to take care of your pet at their home. I have experience giving cats and dogs medicine. I have cared for puppies all the way to senior dogs. I’m here for whatever you need.
About: Ive taken take of dogs including my own for 10+ years. I’ve taken family and friends dogs on walks for them, provided any needed medication, bathing, cleaning, etc. I have a lot of love to give for any animal of any kind and would love to do so in any way I can! I work full time but come home to a pet of my own every day, my cat Leonard. After a long day of work, I come home and play with him as well as give him dinner and clean his litter box. It’s been a part of my daily routine for the past year and I wouldn’t want it any other way! I care for pets in my home by encouraging play and enrichment. I believe playing with a pet could turn a bad day into a good one in under five minutes.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over five years, and I have two small dogs of my own that I love. I’m organized, responsible, and attentive, and I provide each dog with personalized care, walks, and playtime. I also prioritize clear communication with owners, just as I appreciate when someone cares for my own pets. I’m available all week, including weekends. Just reach out and we can discuss your schedule. I kindly ask owners to be honest about their pets’ needs and behavior so I can provide the best care and avoid any issues during their stay. I prefer to care for pets at my home, where I can provide a safe and comfortable environment. I offer boarding only for small dogs, as I live on a 2nd floor, and I have a backyard where pets can play at least twice a day, along with neighborhood walks. My goal is for every dog to have a happy and enjoyable stay. For any specific details or questions, feel free to contact me.
“Alexander was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Ranger. He was attentive, responsive, and genuinely caring. I could tell Ranger was in great hands the entire time. Alexander followed all of my instructions carefully and handled small changes to the plan with ease and flexibility. I felt completely at ease knowing Ranger was being so well cared for. I’d highly recommend Alexander.”
“Liz was great watching my cats! She sent me lots of pictures and spent plenty of time with them to make me feel comfortable while I was away! She even got my shy cat out of her shell in just two visits which made me so happy to see while I couldn’t be there with them. Great communication from her and overall just such a great help while I was gone.”
About: I'm a life long cat lover who never seems to have enough space for the menagerie of cats that I would love to own. Pet-sitting is the next best thing! I have raised & loved several cats through their entire lives as newborns into their maturity. I am currently a Cat Mom to two males in a May/December relationship (3yr old/9 yr old). They could not be more opposite or more joyful to live with. I am flexible alongside my part-time job. Acting and producing in the world of community theatre keeps me busy, but caring for pets & housesitting keeps me happy and grounded. I will always be fair & honest about my time & availability. As an actor I am gifted in matching energy: is your pet skittish or nervous? Are they older or grumpy & listless? Well, I can be good company either way. I’ve cared for and given medication to senior dogs & cats that need more attention. I’m observant, caring & intuitive to their needs. While caretaking in your home, I will be dependable, respectful & trustworthy. *Please note - specialty senior care is at PUPPY rate.
About: Here’s what you should know before booking with me: - I’ve been on this app since May 2023 - I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 14, and I love them. They're one of my favorite animals, and I always treat them with patience and gentleness. - I can let you know how many pets I’m currently looking after if you’d like. - I usually reply pretty quickly, so feel free to reach out anytime! - I’m all about spending quality time with your pet. Whether it’s backyard playtime, walks around the neighborhood, or visits to the park, let me know what your pet loves most! - Crates are only used if requested by the pet owner. - I pay close attention to whether it makes sense to separate pets, and we can chat about this when you book. - I’ve got 4 years’ experience caring for cats. - I’ve given injections to dogs before, and if there’s anything specific I need to know for other pets, I’m happy to learn! - Need pet pickup or drop-off? I might be able to help depending on how far you are, and we’ll work out the details together. - I don’t offer grooming services. - Pet bath is not free. Before we book, just a heads-up that I’ll need a photo showing your pet’s up-to-date shots (including rabies). Can't wait to meet your pet! Since I’m around for most of the day at home, I can make sure they’re well taken care of, entertained, and feeling loved while you’re away. At my place or at the owner’s house, I always make sure to give pets the love and care they deserve by providing them with food, fresh water, and plenty of playtime. I also make it a point to follow their instructions on feeding, giving medication, and tending to any special needs. I believe it's important to make the pets feel at ease and secure while also honoring their owners' rules and routines.
About: If you give me the opportunity to care for your pet, you'll feel at ease knowing I'll take care of it as if it were my own. I'll give it all the love and attention it needs to make you feel happy. Right now I'd like to dedicate myself solely to animals and their care. I have every day of the week free to dedicate myself to them. For me, all animals deserve the same treatment and care. I always give them my best, no matter the occasion. I will always give you all my love, attention and you will never lack my care.

I recently lost my 12 year old beagle and am looking to offer my love and time to other people's furry companions. I am available for walks and boarding any time!

I live in a shared house, with a separate living space. There is a beagle living in the home (he is very friendly!!), but I can keep him completely separated if need be.

Lisbeth took great care of our cat and was always reliable. Communication was excellent throughout every visit, and she kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was dependable, never let us down, and we came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!

We hired Genesis to take care of my elderly mother’s cat who is also elderly and relies on Thyroid Meds. My mom really wanted to go away but was reluctant to leave her cat as the cats brother had died in June and both Mom and Cat where grieving. Genesis put my mom at ease and sent regular pictures. We really appreciated it. Would definitely hire her again.
We are so glad to have found Kimberly. She went over and beyond watching our fur baby, Booda. She updated us daily on him and sent pictures. She took great care of him as if he were her own. 100% recommend and would absolutely have her watch our fur baby again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Fair Lawn on Rover is $25.53 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 11,866 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fair Lawn. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fair Lawn. On Rover:
- 87% 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.
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.
