Celestine did a fabulous job caring for my two cats this past weekend. They took good care of them, kept them company, fed them, and cleaned up two messes they made. I really appreciated Celestine's care and would definitely hire them again.

Eleanor is amazing with my cats and they both really respond to her, even my shy cat! She's also very communicative and responsive and is comfortable getting detailed instructions (both of my cats require special medicine / feeding instructions). This isn't my first time booking her for cat care and I would definitely book her again!

Michael was so amazing with my senior orange Ray Cat. What a wonderful job giving him his medicine 2 times and day, brushing, playing and treats. I always get worried because my boy can be a handle full at times, but Michael was such a amazing person for Ray Cat. Highly recommend and I feel so safe having him as Ray's sitter. Again thank you so much!

Wow! My husband and I were so thankful for Rebecca! She accepted our last minute request during Thanksgiving when no other facilities would accept our 110 lb Rottweiler! She was in contact with my husband and I and sent many pictures of our dog on walks and also gave him medication and put his food out twice a day. My dog really enjoyed his time with her. She totally took the stress out of leaving our puppy at home and we enjoyed our vacation without a single worry! I would recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a caring, responsible and dependable dog sitter

About: Hi! I’m Quin. I grew up with cats, dogs, a bunny, and was a member of an Alpaca 4-H club since I was in 3rd grade, I don’t know a world without animals. I genuinely love getting to know people’s pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. My current house currently boasts four cats of various ages, from kittens to an old lady, and a young Australian Shepherd mix. Because of this, I'm very comfortable with both cats, dogs, and households that have multiple pets. I've also spent a large part of my life caring for senior animals and pets who need a little extra attention. I've managed medications, special diets, frequent potty breaks, and other individualized care, including caring for a previous dog with a seizure disorder. My approach to pet care is to meet each animal where they are. I love matching their energy, whether that means a long walk and plenty of playtime, some quiet companionship, or simply giving a shy pet the time and space they need to become comfortable with me. I'm detail-oriented and happy to follow specific routines and care instructions because I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is being cared for exactly the way you would care for them. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and cat sitting. I'm happy to care for pets who need extra attention or have special routines, and I always want to make your time away as easy and worry-free as possible. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel like they have a friend looking after them while you're gone. If that sounds like the kind of pet care you need, please reach out to me! I am currently a part-time student with another job on top of Rover, so please take a look at the calendar to book with me! Pet safety is my top priority. I am familiar with dealing with cats and dogs who don't get along and make sure not just to stop dangerous scenarios but also to prevent them altogether.

Jasmin was a great sitter and took care of my cat when I was away. My cat warmed up to her quickly, which is something she normally doesn’t do since she’s weary of strangers. Jasmin followed my instructions and did not have any issues.

Tessa was wonderful! She took great care of Remy while I was away and was always very attentive to his needs. She carefully followed all of my instructions, including giving his medication with a Pill Pocket, and was very responsive whenever I had questions or requests. My flight was unexpectedly delayed on my way home, and she was kind enough to accept a last-minute morning visit so Remy could receive his medication on time. I really appreciated her flexibility, reliability, and great communication. I would absolutely book with her again!

About: Living in New Brunswick with some friends. I have cats but I'm not allowed dogs in our house. Growing up with dogs it's hard to be away from them. Taking care of someone else's pets would be a pleasure and would brighten my day. I walk to work everyday and live outside Rutgers campuses and near some beautiful parks, giving me tons of places to bring your dogs and the stamina to keep up with them on long walks.My oldest dog back home is a big pitbull, so big dogs are right up my alley, and both my dogs can get quite rowdy so I know how to handle animals when they get out of control. I'm currentky working at later in the day and at night so I'm available during the day. I ride my bike or walk to appointments so I'm looking for clients in New Brunswick and Highland Park. I enjoy going on quiet walks in places without too much hustle and bustle. If your pet gets overwhelmed in rowdy environments, you can count on me to give the a calm yet playful day.

Ashley is absolutely incredible! This is our second time using her and she’s been so good! We had an unexpected emergency happen with one of our kittens right before we left and she handled it with such ease and her caring nature with our kitties allowed us to feel comfortable enough to go away knowing the issues would be handled and our cats were in great hands! Thanks Ashley ❤️

Hiral made daily/frequent various in visits to our chihuahua mix (Rue) for 3 and a half months. If I could giver her 10 stars, I absolutely would! Hiral is incredibly punctual, professional, communicative, and flexible. Rue was 5 months old when Hiral first started and is now almost 9 months old. Rue would not be the well behaved, potty trained pup that she is without Hiral. We and Rue will miss you Hiral! Good luck with your future endeavors! Thanks again!

About: I grew up with dogs around me in my family. But I started to care for one since I was 14 years old. Ive always adored dogs. I recently got a puppy who is currently 6 months old and with my 3 year old dog as well, I trained/training both myself. I feed both of them on a schedule, take them outside, bring them to the vet when needed, and of course play with them! Since I have two pups of my own, you can trust that your fur baby is in the right hands! I’m currently a veterinary technician at an animal hospital. I dedicate most of my time to my pets, other fur babies, and school work. I find a healthy balance between school and social life. My house has a big fenced yard for your dog to run around in and I happen to have three friendly, playful dogs. I bring my own dogs outside often so they will never get bored at home. Since my dogs have long hair, I brush it often as well after they play outside.

Super pet sitter. Got to meet Jasmin before going away for 2 weeks & having her care for our cat with drop-in visits. She was easy to communicate & coordinate with, very understanding of our cat’s kind of special needs & I felt very comfortable leaving Teddy while we were away. Would recommend & will book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Highland Park on Rover is $20.52 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 8,828 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Highland Park. 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 Highland Park. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
