“Rachel really helped me with my dog and cat during a difficult time, she walked my dog Petey twice without being asked, out of concern for him. She cares about Petey and Busker. ❤️”
“Wonderful care! Kept my kitties loved and well cared for. Sweet photos and thorough reports received daily. I was able to fully enjoy my vacation since I knew my cats were in such great hands. Thank you Alexa!”
About: 33 year old looking to earn a little extra money while working remotely full time. I'm a huge dog/animal lover! I always grew up with dogs and helped watch/take care of them. I also helped watch, walk, and take care of friends' dogs, and used to walk for Wag, so I have lots of experience with it. Your dog will get lots of love and attention from me, and all the play time he/she needs. I work remotely, so I am somewhat open for walks! I just cannot commit to anything super consistent. I’m available for more occasional walks or visits I am currently not allowed to bring dogs to my rental apartment. I’m happy to listen to your instructions on caring for them in your home
“I can’t recommend Philsung enough! They took exceptional care of my dog while I was away. My dog was happy, healthy, and well-exercised, and I received regular updates and photos that put my mind at ease. Philsung truly went above and beyond, showing genuine love and care for my furry friend. It’s clear they have a passion for animals and a professional approach to pet sitting. I will definitely be using their services again and highly recommend them to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Stephanie was terrific with my cat Coco. I’m very happy to have her take care of my cat when we go on vacation. Very reliable and has a good sense with animals. Coco is not the friendliest kitty out there! I definitely will be rebooking with Stephanie each time we go away!”
About: I have fostered a 4 month old poodle for 2 months. I’d say I personally have more experience babysitting than pet sitting but that being said, I have a huge heart for nurturing and caring I am currently working a part time job but my schedule is pretty flexible so I have a lot of time on my hands! My daily/weekly routine just consists of working and hanging out with friends! Unfortunately I can not host pet sitting at my home for my land owner doesn’t allow pets inside, but if I were to work at your home, I would act accordingly with respect!
“One of the best sitters out there! Very professional and sweet. Helped my Mollie out by giving her meds when it was storming and I was at work. Daily pictures. Very understanding with schedule changes. My pups love her dearly! I can’t say enough good things. Highly recommend!”
“Kristina is the best! She truly provides such amazing care and you can tell how much she loves the pets she takes care of as bonds with them. I always feel safe when she is watches my senior cat, she does a great job with meds and duet, very attentive :)”
“Emily was amazing with our cats! She sent so many updates and pictures. She made sure to befriend both of them even though one is very shy and she made them so comfortable. We will definitely make sure to book her again because the girls loved their time with her!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been caring for them for over 24 years. In addition to helping friends and family with their pets, I’ve volunteered in animal shelters and gained experience with many different dogs. I treat every dog with patience, care, and respect. I work full-time, but pet care fits well into my routine. I’m available for care during weekdays and fully available on weekends. I always make time to give dogs proper attention, walks, and consistency. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow each dog’s routine closely, keep doors and leashes secure, and supervise interactions at all times. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment.
“Selina did a fantastic job with taking our girl for a walk! She was able to respond quickly and be flexible to our needs, and was communicative throughout the process. We will definitely use her again!”
“Binta was a wonderful sitter for my Cleo! I appreciate how she took the time to get to know Cleo and wrote meaningful updates. Cleo is a shy, reserved girl but Binta was able to get through to her! I hope to book with Binta again in the future. Thanks for everything, Binta!!”
“My dear Adriana. It was a pleasure to count with your services to take care of Scar and Nena. Adriana not only treated my dogs with love but also took care of my home and left it neat and tidy. Looking forward to work with you again since I saw how much love and dedication you put towards our pets.”
About: I loved playing with my neighbors' dogs since I was a kid, and I got my first dog when I was a graduate student. I also rescued two small little dogs without a full moon and brought them up. I'm currently a postdoc at Mount Sinai. But my dogs are not around, I really miss the happy time surrounded by dogs, if you would like to let me play with your dog, that would be my honor. I'm available after 2pm on Friday and weekends. Please tell me in detail what good or bad habits your pet has and what I need to be aware of. It'll make it easier for me to take care of them, and it'll give us a pleasant memory❤️. My pet's diet is timed and rationed according to weight. Make sure he have fresh water to drink every day. Take him out for a walk every afternoon to make sure he gets enough exercise. At home, I play puzzle games with him so that he won't feel lonely.
About: Hi, I’m Ksenia! I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had a big Newfoundland dog along with cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Today, our home is still full of animals. We have a cockapoo, a bunny, and two guinea pigs, so caring for pets is truly part of my everyday routine. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, calm, and happy. I take this responsibility seriously and always treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my weekday routine. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits during the week, whether your pet needs a potty break, feeding, playtime, or some extra company while you’re away. I enjoy calm, relaxed care and focus on being reliable, present, and consistent. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow any instructions carefully and make sure dogs are walked calmly and securely. I’m attentive, respectful of your home and routine, and always keep pets supervised. I communicate clearly and want pet parents to feel fully comfortable and confident while their pet is in my care.
“Arina was great with my dogs! She was able all three of them and would highly recommend her for anyone worried about getting a sitter for multiple animals!”
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for pets and grew up with both dogs and cats. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I am reliable, responsible, and will treat your pet with the same love, care, and attention that I would give my own. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, fresh water, feeding, or simply some extra companionship during a drop-in visit, I will make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. I understand that every pet is unique, and I will follow your instructions closely to ensure the best experience for both you and your furry friend. Communication is important to me, and I'll keep you updated so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Friends and family know me as someone who goes above and beyond, and I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I meet. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and being active. I am organized, dependable, and make it a priority to be on time and follow each pet's individual needs and schedule. Whether it's a walk, feeding, playtime, or a drop-in visit, I enjoy providing pets with attention, companionship, and care while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow the owner's instructions closely to help maintain the pet's normal routine and ensure they feel comfortable and secure. During walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy while their owner is away. Communication is important to me, and I am happy to provide updates and photos for added peace of mind.
About: Hi! I'm a college student working toward vet school, so caring for animals isn't just a job for me, it’s what I genuinely love doing. I've had my own cat for 5 years, so I know what it's like to be a pet parent. I've also spent plenty of time watching other people’s dogs and cats, from very high energy puppies to older dogs who just want a quiet environment. I'm comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. If something’s wrong I will reach out immediately. Since I'm on summer break, I have a pretty open schedule, but I do like to be upfront about my specific availability. I'm available Monday through Thursday anytime after 12:00 PM, all day Friday. On Saturdays, I'm available after 4:00 PM. I can also do evening visits, but I wrap things up by 10:00 PM. I know routines are really important to pets, so I'll work around whatever schedule your pet is used to, like midday walks, afternoon play sessions, or evening check-ins before bed. Consistency is very important! I only provide care in your home because I believe that pets are more comfortable in their own environment, with their own things and smells. I'm really careful with doors or any gates and will always make sure to double check every exit to make sure your pet stays safely inside. I will treat your home the way I'd want mine treated, I will clean up after myself, wash any bowls I use, and leave things tidy. I'll also send any updates/photos at every visit so you can see how things are going. I will also save your vet's contact info, just in case of any emergency. I always like to be prepared for anything.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Lee
I absolutely loved having Anne watch my cats! Right from the start, her incredibly friendly and warm energy put me completely at ease. The daily updates she provided while I was away were a highlight. Anne doesn't just send a standard check-in; she crafts concise yet wonderfully vivid recounts of her visits that read exactly like the pages of a storybook. Paired with the fantastic pictures she takes of their time together, it felt like I was following my cats along on a beautifully documented little adventure. I couldn't recommend her enough for anyone looking for a thoughtful, engaging, and top-tier sitter.
Dominick is tremendous, and we will continue booking with him! He's taken care of our two cats several times now, and each time we get back into town, it's obvious that our cats have been well taken care of. Dominick takes expert pictures, and provides detailed and (frequently) hilarious commentary about our cats' behavior and antics--so much so that Dominick's daily reports and photos have become a delightful part of our vacations while we're away! We recommend him highly. Thank you Dominick! Peter & John and Bev & Paul
Vanessa has cared for my kitty, Boo, many times. This time, she came out to care for him in terrible weather: 100-degree heat and downpours. Always on time, reliable, and communicative, Vanessa takes detailed notes and lots of pictures, which keep me informed of how Boo is doing. I have complete peace of mind that my kitty is well cared for while I am away. I highly recommend Vanessa to care for your prt.
I came back to two perfectly fed, well groomed, happy kitties cats and a very clean apartment. She always sent detailed text, lots of pictures and Videos updates every day. She is punctual, sweet and gentle. She loves animal with all of her heart and beyond. Cant thank her enough
Ariel is incredibly reliable. She loves cats and they clearly love her. I was worried my old lady wouldn't accept medication from a stranger, but Ariel charmed her instantly. We got timely notifications of every drop by, with beautiful writeups that made us confident we left our girl in good hands.
Leta has been a god send for us! She has taken care of our cat for about 6 months now and I don’t know what we would do without her. Incredibly responsive and flexible, always takes great care of our cat, and is communicative throughout her stay. Takes great pics and detailed report cards too! On several occasions I’ve changed plans on a dime and Leta has always been very understanding and accommodative. Thanks Leta!
First time Lindsay babysat my two fur babies. She was a great communicator in all ways - and Mingus and Jacques agreed based on all the photos sitting on her lap and generally looking very chill and happy. Apartment was spotless upon returning home. Lindsay is a mature and trustworthy catsitter and I highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Fort Lee on Rover is $24.42 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 12,163 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fort Lee. 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 Fort Lee. 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.
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.
