About: Hi! I’m Zoe! My husband and I are passionate animal lovers who have always had pets in our lives. I have a pug named Pikachu in my family and he has a corgi named Mocha in his family, but after getting married and moving out, we’ve missed having pets around. That’s why I became a sitter—I truly enjoy spending time with furry friends! On weekends, we often help care for our friend’s Samoyed, Cairo, so we have experience with both small breeds like pugs and corgis, as well as medium-sized dogs. Whether it’s puppy care, senior dog care, I’m happy to provide loving and attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs, and give them the care they deserve! 🐾 As a curriculum designer in school, I have a flexible schedule with extended breaks. I works from home, allowing for flexible potty breaks throughout the day. One dog at a time!! When pets stay with me, I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I love spending time outdoors, so I always take them for walks and let them explore safely while I’m out on my daily walks too. I also enjoy taking photos and short videos to capture their happy moments and send daily updates to owners, so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Katie is the most communicative sitter we’ve ever had. I couldn’t recommend her more! Katie was so kind and caring towards our 2 cats, we received so many pictures and detailed recaps. Our cats adjusted to Katie si quickly, and we felt super at ease while we were away. Thank you Katie for everything!”
“Rebecca was wonderful watching my two cats while I was away. They both can be on the shy side and Mia instantly was licking and looking for pets while Maya watched from a distance and enjoyed the company. She took care of all the necessities and took time to play with them and send updates and pictures. Will be using her again!”
About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My household includes a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, so I'm comfortable managing everything from giant breeds and high-energy dogs to independent, affectionate cats. Living with a Doberman has given me experience with intelligent, active dogs that thrive on structure, exercise, and attention. My Great Dane has taught me the unique needs of giant breeds, including gentle handling, patience, and awareness of their size and comfort. My two Maine Coons have helped me develop an understanding of feline behavior, grooming needs, and creating a calm, enriching environment for cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I have the space and resources to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐕🐈 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, my days are already structured around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I work with a flexible schedule that allows me to be present throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, supervised play, and check-ins. Pets in my care receive regular attention rather than being left alone for long periods. My large rooftop deck also provides a convenient space for supervised outdoor time and exercise between walks. I understand the importance of maintaining consistency, so I do my best to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding times, medication schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. Whether your pet is energetic and active or prefers a quieter environment, I can accommodate their individual needs and help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. 🐾 Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax, play, and feel at home while you're away. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized large dogs—a Doberman Pinscher and a Great Dane—who are accustomed to being around other animals. I carefully manage introductions and always prioritize each pet's comfort level to ensure a positive experience for everyone. One of the highlights of my home is a spacious 1,600-square-foot private rooftop deck, providing plenty of room for supervised outdoor time, fresh air, play, and exercise. Pets are never left unattended outdoors, and all activities are monitored to maintain a safe environment. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust involved in leaving your furry family member in someone else's care. I'll keep you updated with regular photos, videos, and messages so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. 🐾
“Kate came over and took great care of our two cats twice a day during our vacation. She gave us great pictures and updates, which allowed us to relax and enjoy our son’s wedding. I highly recommend Kate & Alex for your pet sitting needs.”
“We were extremely pleased with Gabriela and Maidely. They kept our minds at ease knowing our cat was in good hands. Will definitely book with them again!!”
“Jolea is the absolute sweetest and took great care of my pups! She's very communicative and sent photos every day to ease my conscience. She followed all instructions and went above and beyond by taking the pups to the dog park almost every day! 100/10 recommend!”
“Francesca did an amazing job watching our cat Junimo for two weeks. She is amazing with cats and has a genuine care for the animals she sits. Above following his feeding, water and litter instructions with care, Francesca always took the time to play with Junimo. She often even extended her visits to spent time with Junimo. I feel much more relaxed going on vacation knowing my cat is being taken care of.”

About: I have had cats and dogs all my life. I currently have a Pittbull and 5 cats at home. I’ve been doing professional pet care since 2022. I’m currently working as a nurse and am looking for some extra income! My schedule is constantly changing but I do my best to update my calendar with my availability as often as possible. I usually know my schedule for work a month in advance. I don’t do overnight house sitting! I treat animals with respect and try to act in a way that respects their space and makes them feel as safe as possible. I will never force interactions between myself and a pet. They deserve clean places to live and top-notch care!
About: Hi! My name is Hallie, and I’m a certified animal lover. I grew up with some wonderful dogs and have been a proud cat mom for the last 10 years. I also worked as a dog walker/pet sitter for about six years at a reputable dog walking company in NYC. My time as a professional animal caretaker left me with a wealth of experience with cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes, ages, temperaments, and abilities, so whatever your animal’s unique needs are, I am prepared to provide them with the personalized love and care they deserve. I understand how important your fluffy family members are to you and will happily provide you with as much communication, including details and pictures, as you like. Hope to connect with you and your pet soon! My schedule is very flexible! I make my own hours so I can easily work around your schedule. Weekdays, weekends, and evenings are all fair game. I’m available to stay with your pet in your home, so they can be totally comfortable and their routine, including meals, walks, and play sessions, can remain exactly the same as always.
“Jazmin is so great!! She has watched our guy Kai a handful of times and he absolutely adores her! Kai is a large, reactive dog, but I’ve never had to worry about a thing when he’s with Jazmin- she knows all his triggers and what to avoid. She truly does love her clients like they’re her own pet♥️”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Jersey City
I had a great experience with Jessica. I was nervous because it was my first time leaving my cat alone, but Jessica was very trustworthy and punctual. She was attentive to my cat’s needs, sent regular updates, and gave me real peace of mind during my trip. She took excellent care of both my cat and my apartment. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Katherine is an absolute star and your animals will not only be in good hands with her — they will have a GREAT time while you’re away. My cats had a field day with their new friend while we were gone :) My husband and I were very nervous to leave our two kitten brothers alone for the first time — we scheduled an additional visit before we left so Katherine could come over to meet the kitties and walk through everything. Our cats absolutely fell in love with her! She is very prompt and communicative, and she takes pictures that are so good (truly — some framers here) you’ll feel completely at ease that your pets are in the best hands. We watched our cats relax and let loose in real time. She also has two cats of her own and you can tell how much she absolutely loves animals. Give your pets a real vacation while you’re away - book with Katherine!
Kate and Alex took amazing care of my babies (2 kitties) while I was out for a long trip. They are trustworthy, great communicators, caring and loving with both cats, and my shy cat loves them!!! This is my second time leaving my babies in their care and they are wonderful. Couldn't recommend more.
This is my second review for Rochelle and she's still the absolute best! Both our kitties adore her, she takes tons of amazing photos during her stay, and she is extremely communicative. She was also so incredibly understanding when our front door got jammed while we were away and she had to come back to our place a second time, after the handyman had changed the locks, and help with picking up the new keys. I'm so glad my friend recommended her; we couldn't ask for a better cat-sitter!
This was our first time having Deanna care for our two kitties and I am so happy that we found her. We were anxious to leave our fur babies to go on an overseas trip, but Deanna's well written and thoughtful updates truly put us at ease and it was clear that she read and followed our specific care instructions. I could see from the photos that the kitties were comfortable in her presence. It pleasantly surprised me that even my super shy one came out when she was there, and approached her more closely with each passing day. She understands that they have their individual personalities and respected that in her interactions with them. Deanna even went above and beyond when I asked her to leave nuts out each day for the baby squirrels that visit our deck. We were so pleased with her level of care and will definitely seek her out when the need arises in the future.
Stephanie did an amazing job taking care of our cats. They warmed up to her very quickly even though they are usually skittish . It was also a last minute request and she really pulled through for us. Highly recommend if you are looking for someone to take care of your kitties 🤗

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Jersey City on Rover is $27.62 per visit (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 399 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Jersey City. 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
