About: I’m a dog mom to 3 sweethearts: Sherlock (15-lb Shih Tzu rescue), Jessie (55-lb American pitbull rescue) and Sasha (40-lb mixed terrier rescue). They all are very reactive to different triggers (people, other dogs, cats, squirrels/wildlife, etc.), and they’ve taught me how to be a better parent. Puppo (18-lb Maltipoo), our 15-year old senior dog, crossed the rainbow bridge in August 2025. Taking care of Puppo for 2 years was a transformative experience - he even taught me how to age with dignity and grace. I work a full-time hybrid job (2 days remote) and Saturday (10:30-1pm), but my calendar will be as up-to-date as possible! I take your pets’ safety very seriously, and will ask questions during our meet-and-greets to ensure their safety under my care. Additionally, I’ll take pictures during walks and cuddles/playtime, and be as communicative as possible. As a dog mom who has used Rover many times, I understand what many parents need!
About: I have a 4 year old golden retriever that we’ve had since he was 10 weeks old. I absolutely adore animals of every kind. I know basic training for dogs and am still learning each day. I’m incredibly active with a flexible schedule and would love to help out! I work for myself and create my own schedule. I go on multiple walks a day. I like to be home often and spend most of the time in the Montclair area. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly golden retriever who is 4 years old and trained. It’s mostly me that will be at home though my husband will be around as well who also loves animals.
“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!”
“Caitlin was so great!! She was super quick to respond and attentive to all of my cat’s needs. My cat is timid, but Caitlin was so patient and caring. Caitlin also made sure to send lots of photos and detailed reports. Would definitely recommend!”
“Thank you Jamie ❤️ Dahlia loves your check-ins and she looks forward to having you again soon. Thank you for being so accommodating to my/her needs and for all the petting. Every picture you sent made me happy and sure she was in really good hands. Thank you ❤️”
“Jonathan has been a great drop-in sitter for my cat Mocha! It’s clear that he genuinely cares about animals, and I’ll definitely be booking him again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: La mayoría de tiempo cuido perros o gatos a familiares, amigos y conocidos, me encanta pasar el tiempo con ellos y brindar mi amor. Trabajo por las mañanas puedo ofrecer el bienestar de tu mascota en fines de semanas desde el sábado por la tarde hasta el domingo con mucha seguridad. Tengo un pequeño jardín pero si prefieres se puede llevar al parque más cercano de tu zona para el cuidado de tu mascota.
“Sadi is the absolute best. She really made our cat happy and paid attention to the small details. She went above and beyond to make sure that our cat was well taken care of during our vacation. If you want someone that is trustworthy and will care for your pet with love, Sadi is the one!!”
“Angie did a great job of taking care of our cats while my fiancé and I were on vacation. She followed our more in depth instructions with the food to a tee and did a great job making sure all the litter boxes were cleaned daily. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I’ve been trusted for years to help care for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors. I love all animals, especially dogs and cats of all needs and sizes! I’m a very patient, gentle and loving person who will give my all to help make sure your pet is comfortable and happy. I will ensure your pet has a fun time and is well taken care of. I’m a college student who adores spending time with animals and excited to get to know your pet between classes and over breaks! I am flexible and am happy to work things out with you! When visiting your home, I will make sure to treat your space with the utmost care and respect. I will make sure your pet is fed, that they haven’t had any accidents, and will spend some quality playtime with them. I can help administer any medications they may have and can take them on walks or let them outside for some fun playtime!!
“Kelly is the absolute best. This was our first time on Rover, and her communications were clear and quick, and she did great work reassuring us that our pup was in good hands. Loved the photographs, and really appreciated the time she took to communicate with us by phone and by text. We’re only slightly concerned that our pup now likes her more than us! 😀 Hugely impressed with Kelly - she’ll take fab care of your pups.”
“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 !!”
“Our sitters were easy to communicate with, and we felt comfortable knowing our cats were safe, well cared for, and happy. We came home to a clean house and content pets, couldn’t ask for more!”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Christina was incredibly sweet, communicative, detail oriented, and super caring towards my Malio. She went above and beyond taking care of my cat and was so excited to do so. I would recommend her to anyone for their pet sitting needs and can’t wait to have her watch my boy again!”
“Jonny did an excellent job of caring for our boy Royal. He gave us constant up dates even down to how many times he went to the bathroom. I really felt comfortable leaving Royal with Jonny he is so calm,cool, and collected I know it made our pup feel secure. Do not have any worries about your pet when they are in Jonny's care.”
“Brad was very responsive to a last minute request to let my dogs out when I couldn’t get back home in time to feed them. He fed them and let them out and hung out with them for awhile.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Glen Ridge
Caitlin is wonderful, bright, cheery, and great with my Selina (2 year old, bougie kitty). Selina takes a while to warm up to someone new, so I asked Caitlin to do 30 minute drop-ins while I was away for Labor Day weekend. By the time I returned Selina was giving up the tummy to Caitlin for belly rubs. :) We are ready for my 2 weeks in India now. Caitlin is excellent with the daily communication and pics, and was even concerned to take my trash out worried about the possible smell from the litter scoopings. I was worried about finding a solid replacement for my previous cat sitter. I am worried no more. Thanks, Caitlin!
Another fantastic experience with Thomas! He’s detail oriented, conscientious, and friendly. He spent quality time with our cats, and provided us regular updates about how they were doing. Even our youngest (and most timid) cat is warming up to him. Thanks again Thomas!
Siara did an amazing job looking after our 2 cats for a week. On top of the usual (food, water, litter), she made sure to spend some time with cats and do what they wanted to do, be that brushing, playing, petting, or anything in between. She even got our very shy girl to warm up to her in just a couple of days! She was also super thoughtful and flagged an issue with automatic feeder that we missed and helped us ensure our cats were getting their meals dispensed on time. She also provides detailed reports and tons of pictures, and is great at prompt and timely communication. We hate leaving our cats home alone, but with Siara we felt they were well taken care of and would definitely book Siara again in the future!
My first time using Rover and I was not disappointed. Cole was fabulous! Every morning and evening I received a quick note about each visit and pictures which showed how comfortable my cats were becoming with Cole. Cole quickly learned my cat’s personalities and he took wonderful care of them. Will Definitely book Cole in the future.
Katie did an absolutely amazing job with our three kitties for a seven day trip. She sent us regular updates and followed all of the information we gave her! No issues when we returned home, and we would absolutely book her again when we take a trip out of town!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Glen Ridge on Rover is $25.53 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 12,580 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Glen Ridge. 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 Glen Ridge. 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.
