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. 🐾
“Rebecca is wonderful! She is communicative, warm, friendly, and thorough. Rebecca helped me to feel at ease when leaving for an entire week — I knew my cat was getting great care! Highly recommend!!”
“Dong was so great! He was super responsive and communicative ahead of the booking and during, and took lots of photos during each drop-in. Dong's professionalism made it so much less stressful to leave my <1 yr old cat for a few days - thank you, Dong!”
“As new cat parents, we were a little nervous to leave our cat, Lola, for a few days while out of town, but Katherine did a wonderful job with her. Katherine was an excellent communicator and provided a detailed update and photos with each visit. We appreciate the care she gave to Lola while we were away, and our minds were at ease knowing Lola was in such good hands. We look forward to working with Katherine again in the future!”
“Kaylee did drop-in visits to check up on our cat Reina during our wedding weekend, and we got cute pictures of Reina every day. Came home to a happy healthy kitty; couldn't ask for more. Thanks so much Kaylee!”
“Jolea took SUCH good care of my girl. She was very detailed and attentive, and let us know everything that happened during their time together. My pup was very comfortable with her, it was apparent!! I absolutely recommend! Thank you so much Jolea!”
“Andrew was so attentive and caring with Greyson! I am so relieved that I was able to find another sitter that I’d feel comfortable leaving Greyson with. Will definitely be booking again in the future.”
“I highly recommend Gabriela and Maidely to anyone in need of a pet stitter! They always follow my instructions perfectly, and my cat is in good spirits 609& my return.”
“This was my first time trying rover and Sydney made the process smooth and stress free. She communicated every step of the way and took great care of Purrcy. I would 100% book again.”
“Averi did so well with Elliot, he tends to take some time to get used to new faces but he warmed up well and was well taken care of. So grateful for the last minute help, as well!”
“My cat has quite a few special needs, and Kobi did a great job making sure he was well taken care of! She sent pictures everyday either playing or hanging out with my cat which was awesome. I highly recommend her for all your cat sitting needs!”
“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.”
“Jess is spectacular and has been a massive support for me since my Des needs meds every 12 hours. Jess is communicative and clear, a reliable partner for me, and grounding and loving presence for my cat. We got so lucky meeting her!”
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.
“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: What sets me apart as a sitter is my patience and my ability to adapt to each dog’s individual needs. I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs as well as dogs belonging to friends and acquaintances while they were traveling. I am especially comfortable caring for senior dogs and dogs with cardiac conditions. I understand the importance of routine, close observation, and giving medications carefully and on time. I always follow the owner’s instructions in detail to ensure each dog’s health and well-being. I also have experience working with puppies. I know how to keep them engaged with age-appropriate activities, both indoors and outdoors, while maintaining structure and safety. In addition, I have some experience with positive reinforcement training, focusing on patience, consistency, and encouragement rather than punishment. My goal is to provide calm, attentive, and loving care so every dog feels safe, understood, and well cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work remotely and manage my own schedule, which allows me to be flexible and fully available to meet each pet’s needs. I have plenty of time to provide attention, regular walks, playtime, and any additional care a dog may require throughout the day. I’m able to adapt my routine to match the pet’s usual schedule, whether that involves frequent breaks, quiet companionship, or more active moments. Most importantly, I truly enjoy the company of animals and value the time spent with them, making pet care not just a responsibility, but something I genuinely love doing. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in my home. I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs before welcoming them into my space. Pets in my care stay in a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I closely supervise them, maintain consistent feeding and walking schedules, and make sure they always have access to fresh water and a safe space to rest. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medications, and any special care requirements. I pay close attention to details and adapt my care to each pet’s needs, whether they require extra patience, a quieter environment, or more frequent check-ins. I prioritize gentle handling, patience, and positive reinforcement at all times, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident knowing their pet is in responsible and caring hands.
“Our boys seemed pretty comfortable with Woonsan. He made sure our boys were well fed on time and cleaned the litters properly. He also followed our instructions so we didn't have to worry about anything. Will definitely be availing his services again.”
About: I’ve always had family pets, and Kaiser has been with me now for 10 years. I love meeting new animals, and I’ve never been intimidated by size or behavior, they are all friends to me! I like sitting with pets and giving them good cuddles and scratches when they warm up to me. Besides all that, I am highly reliable and available to communicate at all times. Right now I am working fully from home, and I make my own hours so I can organize my day around your pet’s needs. I can guarantee walks for dogs at least twice a day, certainly more as needed. My rented space does not have yard access, so boarding would be fully indoors between walks. I also have two cats and a dog, and while they all get along famously, if you’re uncertain how well your pet would share the space with mine, we can try a test meeting, or else I’m happy to do drop-in visits at your home.

Ashley is an excellent sitter! She cared for my 2 cats for over a week and gave them both plenty of attention, love and treats every day. She also did a great job with giving my senior cat his daily medication. Would definitely recommend and work with her again ◡̈
Jessica is such an angel. She takes care of our Roy like her own. We got stranded on a very delayed flight which would result in our kitty missing a meal, she offered to come see him one more time so he wouldn’t go without. I can’t thank her enough for being so kind to us and Roy! I can’t say enough Great things about her!!
Jessica was a truly fantastic sitter for our 2 cats! She is very warm and loving, communicative, and provided us with so many photos and videos so we could really see how they were doing with her. Really warmed our hearts. Also she went above and beyond with extra cleaning of the cat areas which made it really nice to come home to. Thank you Jessica!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Aniko was fantastic and I’d absolutely book with her again! She stepped in short notice over a weekend, organised a meet and greet straight away, and made me feel completely at ease from the outset. It’s obvious she genuinely loves cats, and my two warmed to her really quickly too. One of my cats is diabetic and needs insulin twice a day, and I had no concerns at all about leaving him in her care. She handled his injections without any issues and kept me updated with lots of photos and messages throughout, which made being away from them so much easier. She even left a lovely note for me when I got home, which was such a thoughtful touch. Friendly, reliable and clearly someone who really cares about the animals she looks after. I’d happily trust her with my two again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
If you have a cat, Ganlu is like the guru of sitters. Honestly, I don’t think you can find better care. We booked her for an extended period and she just surprised me every day. We had a bunch of sitters through the years that did the basics which was ok, but Ganlu did so much more: she played every day and even brought toys, she brushed our cat on a regular basis, she cleaned and vacuumed the dining and litter areas, she happily did me a few favors as well. She was flexible with the booking, communicative, she let me know about any concerns with our cat. So grateful for her, we had peace of mind even if we were gone a while.
I had a wonderful experience! Elena was punctual, professional, and so kind with my two cats. It was clear she genuinely cared about them and made sure they were comfortable and well looked after. I really appreciated her reliability and would definitely book her again. Highly recommend!
Christina is simply the best! I’ve been booking her so much I consider her part of our family. She is so attentive and communicative and thoughtful. My cat Winnie runs to the door when she visits and she does this for no one! Thank you Christina for always going the extra mile! ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Jersey City on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 12,250 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.

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.
