“Eva is an excellent dog sitter! She provided me with detailed reports and a lot of pictures while I was away on vacation. She took good care of my 2 fur babies and also took care of my plants. I appreciate the detailed report and could tell that she cared for Mikey and Pixie too. I am so glad I chose her to take care of them and I highly recommend her!”
“Tara continues to be an amazing sitter! She provides thorough updates with great pictures and communicated with ease if she encounters anything she thinks I should know. Cannot recommend enough!”
“Jessica took care of my cats for two days. She's warm, friendly and communicative. My cats seemed happy and well-cared for upon my return. I'll be hiring Jessica again.”
“Barbara cared for my two fur babies with multiple visits in a day including backyard playtime and a walk. I was very pleased with the her attention to detail on specific instructions and the attention she showed my Molly and Rico. I recommend her for sure.”
“Hannah was great from the start — she asked great questions, was great with our dog, and kept us updated throughout the day with multiple drop-in visits — we'll definitely be looking to Hannah for any future needs and we highly recommend her.”
About: I have grown up taking care of cats and dogs my whole life. I love animals so much. I currently only have one dog who i take care of but i also walk my neighbors dogs who cant. Everyday i wake up and immediately take my dog out and prepare her breakfast. After we have some play time and i take her on at least 3 walks throughout the day! I have a fenced in yard so i will be able to give them time to play in the backyard and also take them on multiple walks throughout the day! I also have a dog that loves to play!
About: I have experience with taking care of my own fur baby for 7 years. Besides her I have also taken in family pets whilst they went to vacation, as well as drop ins and checking their pets for the duration of two weeks. I was capable of teaching the pets under my care tricks and was always on top of everything being responsible, and making sure the fur babies got the attention they needed. I am also comfortable looking after feline (cat) pets as I have taken care of them with my boyfriends family during drop ins, and also freshwater aquarium pets as I have hosted them in my home for my cousins taking care of up to 6 in a tank. I am in college so I only attend school three days out of the week leaving all day of monday and friday, adding on I have a late class wednesday so I am available early on Wednesdays! I am also free on the weekends. So, I am able to check in with pets during my free time, and make sure to care for the fur babies. I can do afternoons for monday, friday, and the weekend and day time for wednesday! In my home I have one pet, my girl dog pearl who receives all the love she can get and is treated as a family member :) In my home I have a fenced yard, I have treats to provide, toys, and more. I also have a play penn in which pets can have space and play freely if wished to be crated. I will make sure to always give attention to the pets just as if they were my own babies.
“Tina is very responsive, caring, and easy to communicate with. She made sure all the specific requests I had were taken care of perfectly. When I came home, my cats were calm and well attended to. I can finally travel without worrying about them!”
“Stephanie and Ashley were great! Very communicative and sent great pictures. Luna also clearly liked them a lot. Definitely plan on working with them again the next time we go out of town.”
About: Gentle & reliable dog walker. Grew up with a Labrador, so I know the love (and energy!) dogs bring. Your pup’s safety & fun always come first 😊. My schedule is pretty relaxed. I have a part-time job from 4-8 pm Monday-Wednesday and work from home Thursday and Friday. Weekends are also generally free, but sometimes I have to take time to help take care of some stuff for my parents. My fenced-in backyard and the safety of my neighborhood provide peace of mind. Since I don’t have any other pets in my home, you can rest assured that your pets won’t encounter any issues or conflicts within the household.
“So happy to have had Ellen sit with Lily today! Lily is high energy so knowing she took a nice nap let me know that Lily made a new friend and is relaxed with Ellen. Ellen even arrived early to get to know Lily and I before I left for my appointment. I feel very comfortable reaching out to Ellen in the future for sitting with Lily. I couldn't be more pleased.”
About: Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve always had an animal around the house. Whether it was my parents cats, my family dogs, or my grandparents fosters, there has always been an animal in my household! I love entertaining them and playing with them, and I do my best to make sure they feel loved and safe in their spaces! I am a college student who works as a substitute teacher, so weekends are the main time I can provide your pet with the best service possible! But, if you communicate ahead of time and are nearby, I’m sure we can figure out a time for me to drop in, or the chance of me staying overnight to care for your pet! As it is currently summer, and I am unfortunately without a summer job, I am available for all weekdays for the most part! So please contact me! When coming into your home, I want to make sure that I am the best guest possible. Not only do I want your pet to be comfortable with me in their space, but I want you to feel comfortable with me caring for them. Give me the ground rules, the entire run down, and I will put my best foot forward to show you I’m somebody you can trust.
About: I’ve had cats since childhood and currently have a cat of my own, so I understand how important patience, attention, and care are for pets. Even though I don’t own a dog, I’m very comfortable around them and enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m responsible, gentle, and truly love animals, and I always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already care for my own cat every day. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and companionship. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I understand how important trust and safety are when caring for someone’s pet. I always try to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and needs, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect as if they were my own pet.
About: I love animals and have experience working with and sitting for a wide range of them, including dogs, cats, and small or exotic animals. I myself have owned over twenty parrots (currently have two in the aviary!) and have extensive experience with fishkeeping — I have four cycled, walstad fish and shrimp tanks! I can walk your dog, clean your cat’s litter box, and even do water changes for your fish if needed! Anything to make sure your little guys are well cared for! I’m a graduate student who will be free over the summer, so my schedule is flexible until late August. I can make myself and my home available as needed. I live in a townhome that features a large, lush, and open neighborhood to walk your dogs in. My home has two floors; the first floor is where your pet will stay. When your pet is in my home, they are treated like members of my family. They will be fed, walked, and enriched on your schedule, and will be allowed to sit on the couch and even sleep in my bed at nights if comfortable. I take great care to ensure that your pet’s stay is comfortable and fun-filled. In my home, I currently have two budgies in a large cage and two betta fish, each in 5-10 gallon tanks. The parrots are allowed to free fly for most of the day, but they will be put away or kept caged when your pets are being boarded. When I am in your home, I cultivate the utmost respect. I try not to disturb or move anything that’s not necessary. I’ll make use of only what’s given to me with regards to caring for your pet, and leave everything else exactly how I found it.
“Elaine did a great job with my dog . He was safe & comfortable. Put me at ease with communication and the notes & photos that she sent every visit. Thank you so much for taking care of my furbaby while I was away. Will book again if needed for future care.”
“Lisa went out of her way to care for my pets. She braved the snowstorm of 2026 to make her appointments. She spent extra time with the dog, changed the cat litter, and cleaned the rabbit cage. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet nanny.”
About: I’m an animal lover who goes above and beyond while caring for your dog. I always follow the pet owner's directions carefully so that the pet will be happy while they are in my care and the owner will be at ease knowing that their pet is in good hands. I have a family who has years of pet sitting experience. I can come to your house to feed or walk your dog or other pets. I love all animals so I am interested in caring for your cats and other pets. I have many references. I am a college student attending tcnj. My schedule is very flexible, I am available every day to come and take care of your pets. I can be trusted to go to your home and lock the doors and set the alarm. If transporting your dog, I would be confident in putting on harnesses, leashes, and any other items you request.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Iselin
McKenna took care of our two cats while we were out of the country on vacation. She came over before our departure for a meet-and-greet and was very friendly. She took great care of the cats while we were away and kept us updated with pics and messages. We highly recommend McKenna if you need assistance with your pets.
Eva was fenomenal with our 2 cats, Chico and Bento, during our 4 days trip! She carefully took notes during our introduction meeting and during each visit she took the time to write such a detailed and thoughtful report with important details. She also sent us plenty of photos every day!
Jessica did an amazing job accomplishing each of the tasks we left for her, caring for our three cats. She was highly professional when we first met her and she went above and beyond what we expected while we went on our weekend cruise. Having someone who takes the time to not only complete each of our necessary tasks for her during each session but also having someone take the time to show the cats attention while we are away was very heartwarming!
Bella did an amazing job taking care of our cat Charlie. She was very sweet and interactive with Charlie, sending pictures during her visits giving reports to us. She is super responsible, flexible, and proactive. She even let us know about upcoming bad weather and reached out to us to check about closing windows in our home. She went above and beyond in taking care of our Sweet Baby and our home while we were gone. I would highly recommend choosing her to take care of your pet. We will definitely use her again in the future.
Kexin was great! Very responsive and caring to my cat Theo while we were away on an extended trip. She sent the cutest photos of my pet during her visit and I could tell he was very comfortable with her. Kexin was also very punctual and communicative throughout the whole process. I would definitely use her services again!
Rebecca was so good with our cat Kyle! We went on a long weekend vacation and she came by daily to check on him. She updated us with plenty of photos. I could tell Kyle was really happy with her visits when we came back home. I'd schedule her again in a blink of an eye.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Iselin on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 11,521 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 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 Iselin. 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.
