“Andrea is great as usual! We love the daily report cards and pictures of our pets while we are away. It’s so nice to know that they are being loved and cared for in our absence. Thank you so much Andrea! You make our vacations a breeze :)”
“Valerie was wonderful! We received daily updates and photos and she responded quickly to any communications. I felt our cat Bridgette was in the best hands. I would leave more stars if I could!”
“Marvin was very attentive in our preview visit to know exactly what to do to take care of Bubbys. During the visit, he kept me informed and it was comforting to know he was doing everything to make sure Bubbys would be taken care of while I was gone.”
“Our cat Thora loved and really bonded with Jane! Jane sent me pictures and updates that were very sweet and reassuring because she knew we were far away and a bit stressed about leaving her. She was very respectful of our home and left things neat and tidy. We’d definitely hire her again to stay with our furbaby 😊”
About: I am a young professional with a full time job on Worth Ave, Palm Beach. I am new to South Florida, originally from North Georgia/East Tennessee. I grew up on acres of land with every species and size of animal you could think of! I spent my life helping my mom care for dogs she would rescue, all with various health issues and ages. I am extremely comfortable with any size dog, puppy or senior and everything in between! I am truly passionate about animals and would love to help you take care of your furry baby. :) I work full time from 9-5, so to start out I would be available on weekends or nights. I can request to be off on any weekday, I would just need to plan about a week in advance! I am currently offering sitting in the client’s home. I have a cat of my own, but my apartment is too small to comfortably bring any furry friends over. With my full time job being in operations, I am extremely detail oriented and passionate about caring for your animal. I can walk, feed, cuddle, play, administer any medication, and just about anything else you could think of!
About: Driven by a deep love for animals, I’ve dedicated myself to creating safe and nurturing spaces for pets. My journey began at a doggy daycare, where I gained hands-on experience bathing, walking, and interacting with dogs daily. Since then, I’ve continued to support local dog owners by offering dependable, compassionate care for their beloved companions. I work part-time, with some days consisting of 8-hour shifts. Outside of my scheduled work hours, I’m home with the pets for most of the day and can give them plenty of attention, affection, and care. My schedule varies depending on my shifts, but I do my best to maintain their routines and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. 🐾 I work hard to make sure every pet feels comfortable while they’re with me. I always follow their usual routine. Whether that’s sticking to specific meal times, giving medications, or anything else their owners request. They get multiple walks a day, lots of attention, and plenty of time to relax or play, depending on what they enjoy. Since I’m available most hours of the day, they’re rarely left alone. I make sure to maintain a clean household if your pet is to have any accidents. I want you to come back home in the same condition you left it as.
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life and have also had experience raising puppies and kittens. I love cats just as much. I have an 8 year old dog named Percy, and 10 year old cat named Toulouse who love and play with another all day! I have experience with dogs ranging from different sizes and personalities, but no matter what I know each dog is special. I’ve treated all of the animals in my life like they’re family, and have built a loving relationship with each and would love the opportunity to get to know your animals as well. I understand how important it is to treat each animal with love and respect, and will do everything in my power to ensure the safety and happiness of your furry family member. I’m available most mornings and nights. I am also most afternoons depending on the week and the clients I have booked for my regular job. On Fridays and weekends I have the most flexibility! I treat each animal with the safety and care they deserve! I believe all animals are apart of the family and should always be treated as such.
About: Hi, I’m Hope! I’m a lifelong animal lover and pet owner with experience caring for cats, dogs, rodents, fish, reptiles, and pets with unique needs. I’ve pet sat on and off for many years for family friends and neighbors, and I also worked at a science museum where I assisted with the handling and care of reptiles and other animals. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, routine, and little quirks, whether that means extra playtime, patience with a shy animal, or carefully following specific feeding and care instructions. I currently have a 3-year-old tuxedo cat named Soup Du Jour, who is wonderfully spoiled and has some medical needs, including oral medication every other day, allergies, stomach issues, and dietary restrictions. Because of her, I’m very comfortable with medication routines, special diets, chronic conditions, and paying close attention to changes in behavior or health. I’m also always happy to learn any specific care skills your pet may need. I love getting to know each pet’s individual personality and quirks. Whether that means playing tag for thirty minutes, repeating the one specific toy movement they’ve decided is The Best Thing Ever, or simply giving them space and patience, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I know pets can be funny, particular, and wonderfully odd, especially when their people are away, so I do my best to keep their routine familiar and their environment calm. And because I’m Gen Z and practically always have my phone nearby, you can count on plenty of updates, photos, and notes so you still get to see all the cute things they do while you’re gone. At the moment, I’m living at home while on leave from UC Berkeley, so I have a very flexible schedule and will be in the area for the foreseeable future. I’m excited to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care for pets of all kinds! I’m currently living at home while on leave from UC Berkeley, so I have a very flexible and open schedule. I’ll be in the area for the foreseeable future, not just over a short school break, and I’m happy to work with both recurring and occasional pet care needs. Because I’m managing some health conditions, there may be occasional times when I need to plan around appointments or lower-energy days, but I’m very communicative and thoughtful about the commitments I take on. If I agree to care for your pet, you can trust that I’ve made sure I have the time, energy, and availability to give them reliable, attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to keep their routine as familiar, calm, and comfortable as possible. I’ll carefully follow all instructions for feeding, medications, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and any household rules, and I’m always happy to learn the specific details that make your pet feel safe. I know animals can be sensitive to changes when their people are away, so I’ll pay close attention to their body language, energy level, appetite, and mood while giving them the kind of care they prefer — whether that means active play, quiet companionship, patience, or extra reassurance. I’ll also treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos, notes, and anything important I notice during my visit.
About: My love for animals started very young. My dad was always taking in stray cats, and I grew up with a dog as part of our family. That love of animals naturally led me to start caring for homes, children, and pets by the age of 14, so being a trusted caretaker has been part of my life for a long time. I don’t currently have a dog of my own, which is probably why I’m that person who wants to stop and pet every dog that passes me! I am, however, a very proud aunt to two lovely cats, Peter and Abraham. Animals genuinely bring me joy, and I love getting to know their individual personalities. I’m active and energetic, so I’m always happy to get outside for a long walk, play, explore, or give an energetic dog the exercise and attention they need. I’m just as happy spending time cuddling with a pet or simply keeping them company so they feel safe and loved while their family is away. I’m also a bit of a neat freak! I take pride in keeping a home clean, organized, and cared for. When I’m in someone else’s home, I treat it with the same respect I give my own. My goal is for you to come home to happy, well-loved pets—and perhaps a home that’s even a little cleaner than when you left it. Most importantly, I understand the trust it takes to leave both your pets and your home in someone else’s hands. I’m dependable, attentive, loving, and will care for them as though they were my own. I’m currently a freelance makeup and nail artist, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet and house sitting. My freelance work is typically appointment-based, so if I do need to step out for a few hours, I’m able to plan my day around your pet’s routine and be back for walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I love being active and getting outside, so having a four-legged walking companion fits naturally into my day! When house or pet sitting, I’m also happy spending time at home with your pets so they have companionship and can stay comfortable in their normal routine. I’m flexible and will always discuss your pet’s schedule and needs with you beforehand. I currently plan to provide care primarily in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I know every pet and household has its own routine, so I’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding and medications to litter care, playtime, companionship, and all the little habits that help your pet feel safe and happy. I’m very attentive to an animal’s personality and cues. Some pets want constant affection and company, while others need a little time and space to warm up, and I’m happy to let them set the pace. I’m also extremely clean and organized and very respectful of other people’s homes. I’ll keep pet areas, bowls, litter areas, and the spaces I use clean and tidy. My goal is for you to come home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a home that may be even a little cleaner than when you left it!
About: Had experience in taking care of animals, pet sitting walking bathing I am very trustworthy and I show up no matter what I am able to answer any questions you may have and I am pretty flexible as well I can come anytime after 5 PM Monday through Friday. And weekends I am completely available. I can also come anywhere before 8:30 AM. I give nothing but love and affection and some playtime and make sure they’re fed and know that they are loved. Animals are such a precious thing to have.
About: Hi, my name is Chandra! I’m a dependable, caring animal lover with experience providing professional pet care through Wag. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’ve even had pet parents specifically request me again after previous visits. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I make sure to follow your instructions closely and give them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and cuddles. I also understand how important communication is when someone else is caring for your pet, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos while they’re with me! I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether you need a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll treat your pet like part of the family. 🐾 I’m home most of the day, so pet care fits very naturally into my routine! I have plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of attention throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate your pet’s normal routine and make sure they aren’t left alone for long periods. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always follow their normal routine and their owner’s instructions closely. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, exercise, fresh water, and a comfortable place to relax. I’m also happy to accommodate crates, feeding schedules, medications, or any special instructions to help your pet feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: Finding someone you trust with your pets is a big deal—whether you need a regular midday walk, a drop-in while you’re away, or someone to settle in with them overnight. My goal is simple: keep your pets happy and comfortable, stick to the routines they know, and give you one less thing to worry about. With 20 years of my own pet care experience, I’ve learned that every animal is different. I pay attention to the little things—their personalities, habits, comfort levels, and all those quirks that make them them. Some want long walks and plenty of playtime, some are happiest curled up beside me on the couch, and others need a little patience and space before deciding we’re friends. I’m happy to meet them wherever they are. You can count on regular updates, plenty of photos, and communication you won’t have to chase down. Whether I’m there for a 30-minute visit or making your home my home base while you’re away, I take the responsibility seriously. That means thoughtful care for your pets, respect for your home, and attention to the little details that help everything run smoothly. At the end of the day, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are in good hands—whether I’m part of their everyday routine or caring for them while you’re away. And yes, they’re probably getting a few extra cuddles along the way! I am self employed so I have the ability to give your pet all the time and focus it needs. I routinely walk my dog at the local parks and around the neighborhood multiple times daily and could easily do the same for your puppers or kittens too. I care for my cat daily with lots of play and petting too. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re usually happiest and most comfortable. I follow your instructions closely and take the time to learn what’s normal for your pet—from their routine and personality to the little things that help them feel safe and settled. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, medications, feeding routines, and any special instructions specific to your pet and home. I’m also respectful of the trust that comes with being welcomed into someone’s home. I’ll care for your space thoughtfully, keep you updated along the way, and pay attention to anything that seems out of the ordinary. My goal is for you to feel confident that both your pets and your home are in good hands.
About: I have experience caring for dogs and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I enjoy walking, feeding, playing with, and giving pets plenty of attention.

I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting on weekdays and weekends. I will always make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and loving care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, exercise, and any special routines.

About: I love all types of animals and have cared for many different types throughout my life. I have fostered kittens and worked at many cat rescues. I am good with large dogs and know some basic training. I am currently in cosmetology school to become an esthetician. I go to school during the day but I’m available after school and on the weekends. I make sure to take my dogs on walks 3 times a day and like to make sure they’re comfortable at all times. I will make sure your pet is in good hands.
“Casey took care of my baby Grizzly and she was so nice, you can see she really cares since she is a cat mom herself. She accepted to do drop in visits before our trip so Grizzly could meet her and be more confortable. My cat is super shy but she was very patient with him!”
About: I absolutely LOVE working with animals. I have been pet sitting for my friends and family for the past 5 years. Figured I would branch out to other people needing some assistance. I worked as a Kennel technician for 2 years while in school and now I am a biology teacher (My hours during the school year from my day job is from 7am-3pm). I know how to administer medicine and have no problem taking them to vet appointments or a leisurely stroll to the park. I am super reliable and responsible, I understand dogs/cats quite well, and I am super patient for them to get to know me and to feel comfortable with me. I do my best and take pride in leaving your home how I found it, and aside from your pets being cared for while you are away, I do my best to leave no evidence I was there. Traveling or working long hours can be stressful when leaving your fur-baby at home, but I promise to make you feel at ease. I treat my own dog the exact same way I would treat yours. Thank you in advance for choosing me. I will not let you down. (Also, my prices are flexible on the care of cats if you already have dogs depending on what is needed.) ***Please note I do not guarantee/accept completion of services that are not discussed and agreed to in advance during the meet and greet so please be sure to fully inform me and disclose expectations of duties or requests during the meet & greet, and prior to your departure/start of booking. Pending the request(s) additional fees may be charged. Unfortunately I do not accept bookings for human aggressive dogs. If you would like to know anything else about myself or services please feel free to ask.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Glen Ridge
I book Lisa over and over again because she’s so reliable and great with my cat Sweet Pea. She’s very attentive. She plays for the full 30 minutes with her each visit, tidies up the litter box and feeds her twice a day. Sweet Pea loves her and I feel very confident traveling knowing that Lisa is taking care of her. I highly recommend Lisa - she’s wonderful.
Andrea did an amazing job taking care of Loki! He clearly loves her, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was incredibly attentive, proactive, and responsive throughout the entire stay, and even went above and beyond helping me deal with a few packages that were accidentally dropped off incorrectly at my apartment. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely book with Andrea again!
I’m so grateful my friend recommended Susana. I was very nervous to find a sitter I could trust so I can resume traveling. Susana was very sweet and easy to communicate with. I felt I could trust her right away! I now feel more comfortable leaving Baby Girl in good hands. I can’t wait to have them be good friends in future visits!! I recommend Susana to anyone who fears for the care of your pet. She is truth worthy and knowledgeable. BOOK HER!!!
I recently went out of the country and I cannot thank Margaret enough for the incredible care she provided for my kitties. Leaving Vader, Gray, and my Outdoor Crew is never easy, but Margaret made the entire process stress-free. What I appreciated most was her exceptional communication; she let me know exactly what was going on with them every single day. Getting those consistent updates provided such peace of mind while I was away. Margaret was professional, reliable, and clearly gave them so much love. I came home to very happy, relaxed pets. I highly recommend Margaret to any pet parent!"
Aline was wonderful with our cat Star. She watched her for a few hours and was attentive, kind, and very easy to communicate with. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and made sure Star was comfortable and well looked after the entire time. We really appreciated her reliability and the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Aline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Kailey was a great sitter for my two cats. Someone who’s was supposed to take care of my cats bailed out, so it was a last minute call to find a cat sitter. I remember contacting Kailey before but her schedule didn’t work for us. Thank God this time she was available and my instinct was not wrong. Kailey was sweet, responsible and kept the litter area clean. Kailey sent us the pictures daily and left daily notes. We are very happy with her and will definitely contact her in near future.
Andres was an amazing cat sitter! He followed all instructions carefully and treated my cat with great care. I truly appreciated how reliable and attentive he was throughout the visit. I’m especially grateful he was available last minute when I needed to be away, and I would absolutely book him again! Thank you!💖
Caitlyn went above and beyond to ensure our cats were exceptionally well cared for while we were away. She was attentive, reliable, and very professional. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Evan was awesome with my two cats. They loved him and appreciated his playing. Evan provided extremely thorough and detailed updates to me in each of his visits and asked any clarifying questions he needed to. I would highly recommend Evan to anyone looking for a sitter in the area.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Glen Ridge is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

- 89% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
