About: Hi there! I am a Veterinary Assistant looking to help take care of your babies! I’ve been a Veterinary Assistant for 6 years and during that time I have been taking care of previous clients cats and dogs. I also had a cat growing up and have one of my own! I do require a meeting prior to coming by while you’re away. I will always care for your kitties and dogs like they are my own. I am also able to medicate your kitties if it is necessary. I’d love to meet and take care of your fur babies! I am working full time as a Veterinary Assistant, from 9-5 Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. I work 10-7 on Monday's and Thursdays. I do not work weekend hours so I can spend even more time with your pets on Saturdays and Sunday's. I am currently in an apartment and take my own dog on two walks, in the morning and in the evening. I do work full time, mostly 9-5, so I would be able to stop by before and after my shift to take care of your fur babies! I hope you will consider me to help you out. I do require a meeting prior to coming by while you are out of town, to meet your dogs or cats so that they are familiar with me entering their homes!
“Stephanie took great care of all the cats and actually made friends with our usually very grumpy cat. She sent plenty of pictures and everyone was happy when we got home”
“Sara was super responsive to the booking request and was able to meet our cats beforehand. Sara was very responsible meeting our cats needs while we were out, she was on time, and provided pictures and updates! The cats loved her!”
“Lauren and Wynn were great and our cats loved spending time with them! They were responsive, checked in on them when requested, and I enjoyed the pictures during check in. Highly recommend!”
About: I've cared for dogs, cats, fish, and small animals for 20 years. I am also a reptile owner and comfortable caring for some reptiles and amphibians. I am currently available full time for pet care, regarding pet sitting or daily walks. I am also able to care for and feed some reptiles and most amphibians. I much prefer to care for animals in their own home. I feel it is less stress on the animal and more comfortable for them.
About: I’ve dog sat and taken care of family, friends, neighbors, etc pets since I was about 16 years old. I currently work as a dog handler and have experience with dog walking and caring for animals of all ages. Some of these more specific tasks include bathing, feeding, walking, and of course loving on each fur baby! I have a huge passion for animals and have goals to become a certified dog trainer within the next year or two! I currently work 30-40 hours a week as a dog handler but have flexibility in my schedule. While my week to week schedule differs, I always ensure I make time to care for my dog and any other animal that’s in my care. Wednesday and Thursday evenings are more busy for me but I can be flexible when needed! If leaving the house, regardless of if my or someone else’s animal is trained to be off leash, I always have the animal on a leash. You never know what may spook an animal and I want to ensure their safety and well being is of top priority. If I am entering a fenced area that is not their own home, I will keep the animal on a leash to sniff around and gather its surroundings until they are more comfortable. If entering home with an animal that is not familiar with me, I will give the animal time to warm up to me. This includes but is not limited to, getting on the animals level, not forcing it to do something it’s visibly uncomfortable with, allowing the animal to sniff and get used to my presence and administer treats if allowed by the owner. I’m big on communication so I can/will send photos/videos to the owner upon their request and whenever I feel they are needed to keep the owner in the loop and to ease any worry about their pet being in good hands!:)
“Margo took great care of my crazy Pup! She was very communicative and made sure he was thoroughly entertained and comfortable during her visits, which made me feel so at ease while I was away. The adorable pictures she sent were also a huge plus ☺️ She is definitely my go-to sitter from now on!!”
“Tori is wonderful with my girls. One of the girls had an accident and she cleaned it up and made sure everything was clean for me to arrive home. So thankful for her attention to detail.”
“As always, Katie is great with my 95 lb German Shepherd! She is reliable and prompt. Being a German Shepherd, Simi can be stubborn and sassy. Katie is great with her GSD personality. I use Katie weekly and will continue.”
“Debra was attentive, leaving great notes and photos each day so that I would be updated and kept in the loop. I was also lucky that she was able to work in my last minute job and offered to come by for a very last minute meet and greet which was so very appreciated! I would highly recommend!”
About: I have 3 dogs of my own who I love to take care of! I can feed, walk, bathe and most importantly give lots of love!! My schedule is super flexible, so I have lots of time in the mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m working part time this summer so I can spend real time with your pets and give them lots of love instead of rushing :) I have grown up around pets and I genuinely love being around animals. I’m super comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I like getting to know each pet’s personality!! whether they’re playful and energetic or more calm and cuddly. I’m patient, responsible, and I always try my hardest to follow instructions exactly how they’re given.
“Corey is fantastic and took great care of our fur babies. She has great communication, is timely and I was able to vacation comfortably knowing our pups were being loved on by her. Highly recommend!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Glen Ridge Acres
Margo and her husband were great. She followed all the instructions and took very good care of our babies. She played with them made sure to give them attention. Both cats liked her so she’s definitely the kind of person pets gravitate to. I would absolutely recommend.
Sarah was able to keep my cats entertained during her visit. She provided great care in changing water and scooping litter. She even added extra litter to the box without being asked and topped off the automatic feeders. She was attentive and caring. This was my second time booking her and it won't be my last! Thank you Sarah.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Glen Ridge Acres 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 1,175 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Glen Ridge Acres. 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.

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.
