“Jessica Rose did a great job watching my cat while I was away for a weekend! She was very good about communicating with me before, during, and after the booking, and sent photos each time she came by for drop-ins. I felt that my cat was in good hands and I would recommend Jessica Rose!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 4 years, providing loving and reliable pet sitting and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats, along with 2 years of dog-walking experience. As an animal lover and proud cat mom to my own kitty, Dash, I understand that pets are family and deserve patience, attention, and plenty of affection. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, a little company while you’re away, or someone to check in and make sure they’re happy and comfortable, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own! I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of opportunities to provide attentive, dependable pet care. I’m available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays for dog walking and drop-in visits. My flexibility allows me to work around your pet’s routine and give them the time, attention, and care they deserve! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep them comfortable by maintaining their usual routines, following feeding instructions, providing fresh water, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. For dogs, I enjoy getting them outside for walks, exercise, and playtime. For cats, I make sure they have a clean space, fresh food and water, and companionship while their owners are away. I’m also a cat owner myself, and my cat Dash is strictly an indoor cat, so I understand the importance of keeping pets safe indoors and respecting each pet’s individual needs and routines. I want every pet to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!

“Mary did a great job with my two cats! One is very shy but Mary was determined to make friends and she succeeded. The other requires injectible insulin twice a day and has to have food with it which can be a bit tricky but it was no problem for Mary. What a relief to have my kitties so well taken care of. 😸”

About: I’ve owned and/or taken care of cats longer than I can remember. While I’ve never owned a dog myself, I’ve watched my friends and neighbors dogs often. Sometimes people bring their dogs into the office, and everyone knows that’s where you’ll find me. I can match the energy of your pets whether that’s doing loops around my yard, or giving half an hour of ear scratches while they snooze. Please tell me all about your pet, I’d love to know them personally! I work full time, week days from 9am-5pm, but am otherwise available! Weekends are flexible, and I’m also very willing to work after I come home from work, usually by 5:15 or so I have a fenced in back yard, and 3 pretty friendly cats at home. They’re extremely non-threatening and more likely to get scared and hide than anything. I am able to crate or separate pets as needed, I do have an extra room so if a separated stay is needed, it’s no issue. I also have a camera I can set up where needed to check in during the day while I am out. I do also have a basement, it’s not officially finished but I’ve turned it into a safe and comfy enough space that I trust my own kitties to have full access to. Any overnight visitors are more than welcome to have that whole space to be separated in, if owner is comfortable with it!

“Laura provided excellent service and communication regarding our cats while we were gone for 9 days. My 2 senior cats need daily medication (oral pills and topical cream) and Laura was comfortable with this situation. When we booked our vacation, months ago, they didn't need any medication, so finding the right sitter leading up to our time away was stressful for me, but Laura was great and helped me feel more at ease while on our big family vacation. It turned out that one of my cats would hide with each visit, which I'm sure was annoying to manage, but Laura stuck with it. We can't thank her enough for caring for our aging cats!”

About: Hi, I’m a lifelong cat lover and proud cat mom of 12+ years! ❤️ My experience goes far beyond being a pet owner—I’ve volunteered at an NYC animal shelter and have fostered cats for local shelters and rescue organizations. I’m also very responsive! I work from my phone frequently, so I’m just a call or text away. I know how important it is to get updates and feel connected to your pet while you’re away, and I’ll always send photos and vdos of your fur babies. I work part-time and live only about 10 minutes from work, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m able to spend plenty of time with your cat. 📱 I’m also very responsive! I work from my phone frequently, so I’m just a call or text away. I know how important it is to get updates and feel connected to your pet while you’re away, and I’ll always do my best to respond quickly. 🏡 When your cat stays with me: To keep every cat in my home safe, healthy, and comfortable, I have a few requirements for all boarding stays. 💉 Vaccination Records Before a booking is confirmed, I require current veterinary records showing: * Rabies vaccination * FVRCP vaccination Your cat will have their own private room with a window, giving them a quiet, peaceful space to relax and decompress without feeling overwhelmed. I want their stay to feel safe, comfortable, and as close to home as possible. For the health and safety of every cat in my care, the boarding area will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized after every stay.

“Vivian did an outstanding job dropping in to care for our two cats over a 4-day period. She kept us updated with text messages and photos so we always knew the boys were happy and healthy. Vivian also took great care of the the feeding areas, keeping them tidy and washing the food bowls during each visit. We look forward to working with Vivian again in the future!”

About: I have an elderly dog with various medical conditions including diabetes. I am comfortable administering her insulin and making sure her medications are taken with meals. I have cared for cats and dogs alike when friends are out of town. Often, it is walks, playtime, cleaning litter boxes, and providing fresh food and water. I am a school-based occupational therapist with a lighter schedule, looking for a fun way to fill my time. I love going out on walks and getting a couple extra steps in. In a clients home, detailed instructions and honesty about a pets personality and reactivity is key. This ensures both mine and the pet’s safety when caring for them in a way that the owner, pet, and I are comfortable with.

About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs since I was little, so animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have a loving 7-year-old Pit Bull, and being a pet parent has taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I absolutely love animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that means going for walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company. My family and friends have always trusted me to care for their pets when they’re out of town, busy, or just need an extra hand. I’ve cared for dogs and cats with different personalities and needs, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I want every animal in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and spoiled while their humans are away! My work schedule gives me the flexibility to incorporate pet sitting into my daily and weekly routine. I work throughout New Jersey, so I’m often able to adjust my schedule and make time to care for your pets when they need me. Whether it’s stopping by for a visit, feeding, playtime, or giving them some extra love and attention, I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care while making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. For dog walks, I’ll make sure your pup gets a safe, enjoyable walk with plenty of time to sniff, explore, and get some energy out. For check-ins, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any other needs your pet may have. I’ll also give them plenty of attention and affection so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

“I was impressed with Kim! From day one, the cats bonded with her, which is unusual, especially when meeting someone new. She went above and beyond doing what was asked, including crushing pills, giving them attention if they wanted it and opening the door so they could get some fresh air and sun through the screen. By the third day they were following her around the house. She's light on her feet and very patient with them. To add perspective, when my adult children come home, the cats hide, even though two of the cats grew up with the kids. Before the week was over, I had already booked her for several other times this summer!”

5/5 Stars — Absolute Peace of Mind! We hired Stephanie to take care of our dog Louie and cat Oliver while we traveled across the country to Utah for our daughter’s wedding. Leaving your pets behind for a big event can be stressful, but Stephanie gave us total peace of mind. She went above and beyond her duties—sending daily photo updates and regularly staying longer than the three drop-in visits we booked just to give Louie and Oliver extra love and attention. Knowing our pets were in such compassionate, reliable hands allowed us to fully enjoy our daughter’s special week. We are so grateful for Stephanie and cannot recommend her highly enough!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Iselin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Iselin is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 3,405 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Iselin. 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Iselin. On Rover:

  • 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 88% 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 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.
