“Monica has been so sweet, and willing to come on last minute visit requests. She goes above and beyond anyone I’ve met, even voluntarily cleaning up puppy messes or accidents he might have gotten in to after breaking out of crates. She always keep me updated and sends the cutest photos. So thankful for her, and love to continue my pups play time with her.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my whole life. I had my own dog sitting and walking business from ages 14-19 and then stopped dog walking when I adopted my first dog. Now, we have 3 dogs, and I would love to help other families with their fur babies! My husband and I work full time but will be available on weekends. We also can provide services in the late afternoon/evening. My husband and I will both be assisting, and will make time for you and your babies! I work remotely 2-3 times a week. We’re best able to assist with boarding, on Fridays and the weekends. We can dog walk on the weekends and evenings. During the weekday, our availability is more limited given our full time jobs. We can care for a few dogs at a time, if you are comfortable with it! If not, let us know and we can limit our care to just your pet! We have a large, fenced yard! We also have 3 friendly dogs of our own! They are our family! We are respectful of other people’s homes and their family members.

About: Hi, I'm Bethany! I have been caring for pets for many of years and believe every animal deserves love and attentive care. I specialize in Labrador Retrievers, German Shorthair Pointers, and Goldendoodles. I am comfortable with administering medication such as insulin shots as well as given oral medication. I treat all pets like my own offering overnights in your home, drop-in visits, and walks. My goal is to ensure your pet stays happy and comfortable while you're away! I am very flexible and usually have tons of open availability as I do not have many customers at the moment so I would be available at most times! I have a large yard (no fence) for your animal to explore in. Plenty of dog toys for your pet to play with from my previous dog. Plenty of leashes to take your pet for a walk. I live on a quiet road with a quiet development behind me that’s great for walking.

“Haleigh is great with my shy cats. They let her pet them, and they even took treats from her, which is a huge step for them! She also medicated my cat easily. Will definitely book again!”
“Alyssa was patient, kind, gentle, and loving towards my cat Ghost as if she knew her for ages. Ghost warmed up to her quickly and made my vacation even more relaxing knowing Ghost was well-taken care of. Alyssa went truly above and beyond and even did some light chores around the apartment without me requesting it, which made coming home more delightful. I truly appreciate everything Alyssa did to make this a smooth process. Thank you!”
About: I love dogs and I have had family members with dogs as pets my entire life, including Pitbulls and Rottweilers. I love playing with them and am a great companion! Currently, I have very open availability. I am available mostly every day of the week Mon-Fri and most times of the day, depending upon enough notice. I can provide walks and as much or as little activity as your pet requires. I can provide drop-ins for feeding and/or medication, companionship, or supervision.
About: I am very familiar with taking care of animals, especially dogs and cats. I’ve watched animals for friends, family, and neighbors from a young age and worked at an animal shelter for over 3.5 years on the medical team. I absolutely loved working there, but had to resign so I could focus on the ecology research I was working on in undergrad. I’m now graduated, working for NJ Fish & Wildlife, and preparing to start veterinary school in the fall! I am consistently available Tuesday to Friday after 7pm and all day on Saturdays and Sundays. Depending on the service you request, I will drop in to your home to check on your cat or pick up your pup for a walk after I work during the week. Dog walking: I am happy to walk around your neighborhood where your dog may find most comfortable or I can bring them to nearby dog-friendly parks that I’m familiar with. We will communicate this beforehand and no decisions will be made without your approval. Cat sitting: I am happy to drop in, provide requested care for your cat, and depending on their comfort and energy level provide enrichment. I aim to spend at least 30 minutes with your pet unless instructed otherwise.
“Diana was wonderful with my pup! He gave her a bit of a hard time going outside at first since he’s used to only going out with me, but she was patient and he quickly warmed up to her. She kept me updated with great communication and sent pictures the whole time, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’ll definitely be using her services again. Thank you so much, Diana!”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. Friends and neighbors have regularly trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away, and I understand how important it is to find someone dependable who will treat your pet like family. For 12 wonderful years, I shared my home with my beloved cat. Caring for him taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to the little things that keep cats happy and healthy. After losing him, I’m not quite ready to welcome another cat into my home, but I would love the opportunity to care for yours and continue doing something that has always brought me joy. I currently offer drop-in visits for cats. During each visit, I’ll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, clean the litter box, spend quality time playing or simply keeping them company, and carefully follow any special instructions you provide. Every cat has a unique personality, and I’m happy to let them set the pace—whether they want to play, cuddle, or simply have a calm companion nearby. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for visits before work, after work, and on weekends. I’ll always be honest about my availability and only accept bookings that I know I can give my full attention. I believe exceptional pet care is built on trust, communication, and reliability. I’ll treat your home with respect, care for your cat as if they were my own, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your feline family member! I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for visits before work, after work, and on weekends. I’ll always be upfront about my availability and only accept bookings that I know I can provide excellent care for! I believe great pet care starts with trust and communication. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, respect your home, and make sure your cat feels safe and comfortable while you’re away.

“Greg was really great with our three cats! He took care to make sure everyone was ok during his daily drop ins, and was very thorough with all of the feeding and care tasks we had for him to do. Our cats loved him, he has a good way of relating to animals of all different personalities. Would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody for daily cat care.”

I’m not sure Yaniera can do any wrong. She’s so reliable and helpful. At this point, she’s my cat’s Auntie. The pictures and short narratives she sends of Baby when I’m away let me know my cat feels loved and safe. Additionally, she’s brought in mail and packages that were visible and at my door, preventing theft. If you’re thinking about going with another sitter, don’t. Choose Yaniera. So grateful!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 4,172 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Jefferson. 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
