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!
About: Currently, I have 2 cats - Polka and Gray that I live with and my mom’s dog, Taco. I am great with all animals and specialize in gentle, quiet environments. I am very patient, kind, caring and I make sure that the animals feel comfortable before I interact with them. On the days that I am available, I am very flexible! I will be sure to provide the time and attention they need. Currently, I am available on certain days in the area. I will be very responsive and read all instructions very carefully. I will also be very respectful of neighbors and surrounding areas / animals. I make sure to properly follow the directions to any animals that need my care. I know safety is number 1 priority. I will be attentive and cautious first, providing the care the animals need second. Proper food access and nourishment followed by play is very important.
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.
“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!!”
About: I’ve taken care of my sweet senior dog for all of his nearly 18 years. I fully understand that seniors need a little extra love and attention 🩵 I’ve also been the default dog and cat sitter for friends when they have needed it. I have experience giving medicine and eye drops for dogs. I’m also happy to learn any other medical care needs if needed! My little guy passed recently, so I’m just here to give your fur babies some love while you are away 🩵 I work from home, so I’m pretty flexible and can take breaks midday to walk and play. I’m available for boarding most work days and weekends. I live on a quiet street that is great for walks, and there is also an open yard for quick potty breaks. I have no other pets in the home and only take one client at a time, so your pets will have my full attention!
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: 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
“Brionna is AMAZING! I have a 2 year old cat that I recently adopted and was nervous as this was the first time I would ever be away from my kitty but Brionna’s calm and kind demeanor quickly put me at ease! She was so communicative leading up to the visit and throughout. Her daily photos and remarks let me know that Tortellini was safe, cared for and comfortable! Highly recommend and I’ll definitely be asking her to take care of Tortellini again :)”
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.
“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!”
“Phil is such an incredibly kind and caring pet sitter! He was an amazing communicator and we looked forward to all of his pet updates and pictures. We had a pretty long instruction guide as we have four pets (including kittens), and he navigated everything with enthusiasm and ease. Definitely recommend Phil!!🐶🐱”
“I was nervous leaving my cat alone for an extended period of time but Selina took excellent care of my girl and helped me out with some things around the apartment as well. She is a pet smart person who knows animals. 10/10 would rebook.”
“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. ❤️”
“Emily was a great communicator and excellent drop in sitter for our cat, Charlie, while we were away for the weekend! We are definitely looking forward to having her help again!”
“My first time booking with a sitter for my two cats while taking a week long vacation. Ambroja went above and beyond to accommodate my girls and kept me updated every step of the way. So very thankful for her. Super professional, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“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: Hi there! I’ve always loved animals and am lucky enough to have a cat of my own, Kitty, who has been with me for 6 years! I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, but rest assured, I will love them as if they are my own! Your pet will be in good hands with me and I’m excited for the chance to meet them! Pet care is a priority in my schedule! I am home most of the week and during the day so I’m very flexible on time. I love to stay active so also willing to do frequent walks or play outside with your pet. I have one cat in my home and am very careful with ensuring her safety and health - she is well-maintained and clean (e.g., brushing, cleaning teeth, trimming nails) and spayed. Just let me know if your pet has any specific needs, allergies, or anything in particular to be aware of! I’m someone who loves to take photos of my cat so if you want frequent updates on your pet, I’m happy to do that too!
About: As a lifelong dog owner and dedicated pet lover, I bring years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Having raised and cared for my own dogs throughout my life, I fully understand the deep responsibility and attention to detail required to keep a pet healthy, safe, and happy. In addition to caring for my own pets, I am the go-to dog sitter for my friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it’s staying over for multi-day house sitting, providing midday check-ins, or leading energetic daily walks, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I am experienced with maintaining precise feeding schedules, administering medications, reinforcing basic training, and giving plenty of play time and belly rubs. When your dog is with me, you can expect open communication, regular photo updates, and complete peace of mind knowing your pup is in caring, trustworthy hands I work from home which means my schedule is flexible! I can help out in between meetings and work with a dogs needs as long as I know ahead of time. If it is okay with you, I also can work from your house and even bring my dog (if your dog is friendly) to spend extra time with the pup! Leash & Apartment Safety: Residing in an apartment means I am highly attentive during on-leash neighborhood walks, always keeping a firm grip, staying alert to surrounding distractions, and ensuring secure building entries and exits. Off-Leash & Trail Expertise: I regularly take my own well-trained dog to off-leash dog parks and hiking trails for exercise. While I only keep dogs off-leash with explicit owner permission, I am skilled at managing energy and maintaining control in open environments.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Fort Lee is $25
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Lee
Jenny was absolute perfection, following every single detail of our care instructions without missing a beat. She kept us constantly in the loop with helpful updates and pictures so we always knew how our cats were doing. When unexpected changes arose with our cats' needs, she accommodated our last-minute extra requests. Knowing they were in such attentive hands made being away completely stress-free!
Patricio gave excellent care to our two senior ladies, Tootsie and Peanut, for the week we were away. He was responsive to their different personalities, making them both comfy during his visits and giving them each love the way they like to recieve it. He was super responsive to us on text. Happy to have found a new friend for our girls when we're out of town.
Jenny took amazing care of my two cats, Millie and Annie. She made sure all their needs were met and kept me up to date on everything including hairballs and a day my more finicky girl had a so-so appetite. She also made sure they got pets and play, took tons of great pics, and left things looking great for when we returned home! I always stress leaving my girls to go away- with Jenny I’ve had the best peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Absolute recommend!
Emily was great! Very communicative, always double checked my cats feeding schedule, and stayed with him for the full 30 minutes each visit and made sure he played. Would definitely recommend, and look forward to booking her again the next time I’m out of town (:
Audrey has now helped me out with both dog walks and drop in visits for my cat while I am away. She has been communicative and very reliable. She always sends pictures which brings a smile to my day. I will continue to book any and all animal needs with Audrey (as long as she will continue to put up with my dog and pup!)
She is very kind to our cats and they love her. She has no problems, giving them their insulin. She is very thorough and takes out the litter and the garbage when needed. I am so happy that we found her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their babies.
Alexandria is lovely and a cat expert! We have cats that are still being introduced and being kept separate. Both have specific needs like our older cat needing medicine and our younger being a crazy energizer bunny and she managed both perfectly. We are so glad she was there to care for our cats while we were away!
Mohammed was so pleasant and easy to work with and my cat was so relaxed when I arrived home, I knew she had been in good care. The photos he sent truly relieved my usual travel anxiety in leaving he as I could see she was doing just fine and being her usual self.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Fort Lee on Rover is $24.98 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 12,693 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

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.
