“Audrey was great with my kitty! She followed all instructions to a T and I could tell that my cat enjoyed his time with her. Would absolutely book again!”

“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 provide a calm, loving environment where pets feel at home. My attention to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I have experience caring for both energetic puppies and sweet senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. Whether it’s administering medication, sticking to special diets, or just offering lots of cuddles, I tailor care to what your pet needs most. I also prioritize communication, so you’ll always get updates and peace of mind while you're away. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, whether that means regular check-ins, quiet companionship, or active play. I am available to boarding on weekdays and weekends. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with very easy access to outdoor for walks (nearby dog parks) and potty breaks throughout the day. I stick closely to their daily routine so they feel at home. I'm attentive to their mood and needs and keep their space clean and comfy.
“Awesome guy! 2nd time hiring Colin to drop in our cat, Charlie. He is super communicative and we forgot to remind him on anything and he knew what to do and how to take care of her. She really enjoys his company and I love his pics of their time together. Colin is our go to!”
About: Hi! I’m Milly:) I’ve had pets my entire life, and animals have always been a very special part of mine. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and truly believe they deserve just as much love, attention, and companionship as we do. I’m a proud pet mom myself, so I understand how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone you can trust. I’d love to be your pet’s new friend, whether that means going on walks, playing, cuddling, keeping them company, or simply making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away 💗 I’m currently a student and work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time at home. This means your pets can have my full attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a comfortable apartment next to the park with my small dog and cat, who are both friendly and used to having other pets around. My home is a calm, cozy environment where your pet can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for
“Alexandra was great with Munchkin! They played all sorts of games: brain teasers, lasers and feather wands. She also sent many updates along with pictures annd videos each day! :)”
“Gurjit was so great with my cat while I was away for almost two weeks! My cat liked her immediately and she was well taken care of. Gurjit was super communicative and responsive which I really appreciated, and I will definitely use her services again.”
“My cat Lulu and I are extremely impressed with Brianna, as she is a pleasure to work with. From scheduling the first meet and greet thru all of the drop - in visits with my cat, Brianna was extremely attentive to Lulu’s feeding and care, and is a great communicator. I really enjoyed Brianna’s detailed notes of activity and pictures provided from each of her visits with Lulu. I highly recommend Brianna for pet care and look forward to working with her again in the future.”
About: I've lived with cats most of my life and love to take care of them. In addition to cat sitting, I have experience volunteering in shelters and fostering cats/kittens. I adopted my cat Eddie in 2021—he is a sweet, friendly, and lazy orange tabby. I am currently a freelancer, so I have pretty wide open availability to take care of your cat. I am available on both weekdays and weekends. Letting someone into your home to take care of your cat requires trust. I take safety very seriously and I will be respectful and responsive during the process.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, including two dogs and two cats, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I currently have my own 9-month-old French Bulldog who is very well-socialized, friendly, and comfortable around other dogs. I also have hands-on experience caring for French Bulldogs and puppies. I helped with a litter of 9 Frenchie puppies, assisting with feedings, cleaning, potty time, daily care, and eventually helping with their training as they grew. I’ve also cared for up to 6 Frenchies at once and have experience managing feeding routines for multiple dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and understand how important patience, consistency, attention, and safety are when caring for someone’s pet. I treat every dog as if they were my own and want every pup in my care to feel happy, comfortable, and loved. 🐾❤️ I have free time all the time as I work from home and are doing online schooling in my last year of undergrad at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. I have a spacious apartment with a 100 square foot balcony that is turfed and routinely cleaned area for my French Bulldog to potty if needed. I take my dog out every 4 hours on a walk. We have a park a block away from my apartment.
“Melissa is absolutely wonderful! This is my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She made sure to send me photos, videos, and updates each visit, and I felt incredibly comfortable with her in my home! You can tell she truly cares and interacts with your pet. Absolutely recommend, and will use her in the future to watch my little guy!”
About: I've cared for dogs and cats large and small, mellow and energetic. I love pets, and I have two myself back home that I care for dearly. Please feel free to ask me any questions. I'm unemployed until school starts up again, so I have lots of free time and a lot of energy to get things done. Thank you for your time. I love to feed my dogs home made nutritious food and give them lots of love and attention. I would be happy to give that same level of care to your pet :)

Currently working part time so I have a quite open schedule and can be very flexible. Most days I am free and can build a schedule around whatever is needed.

About: Hi! I’m a devoted cat lover with hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages — including seniors. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical medications and always prioritize gentle, low-stress care. I’m also active in local TNR and rescue work, so I have strong experience with shy, anxious, and formerly feral cats. I understand feline behavior and know how to build trust at their pace. You can expect reliable communication, thoughtful updates, and lots of love for your kitty while you’re away. I’ll care for them like they’re my own! I work from home which means I'm able to offer flexible, dependable care. My remote schedule allows me to plan my day around your cat's routine. I can stop by for morning and evening feedings, litter box cleaning, medication (if needed), playtime, and companionship, without rushing between appointments. Since I'm not tied to an office, I'm able to keep visit times consistent and give your cat focused, attentive care. My top priority is keeping your cat's routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Cats thrive on consistency, so I carefully follow your feeding schedule, portion sizes, litter box preferences, play routines, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure fresh water is always available, litter boxes are scooped daily (or more often if needed), and feeding areas are kept clean. I also love spending quality time with each cat, whether that means interactive play, brushing, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship for more reserved kitties. If your cat has medication needs, I’m comfortable administering oral medications, topical treatments, and following detailed care instructions. I monitor behavior, appetite, and overall health during each visit and will immediately communicate any concerns. Beyond pet care, I treat your home with the utmost respect: bringing in mail/packages if requested, watering plants, and ensuring everything is secure when I leave. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet and a home just as you left it.
About: I try to treat every pet like my own. I do this by paying attention to their energy, personality, and routine so they feel comfortable right away. I’m patient with puppies (basic training, leash manners, consistency) and attentive with senior pets who need a slower pace. I stay active, keep communication clear, and make sure your pet gets both exercise and real companionship, not just a quick visit. -I send 3–5 photos per visit. -Walks are 25–30 minutes unless otherwise requested. -I always refresh water bowls and check for accidents. -I follow your training cues to keep consistency. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet I care for. Whether it’s morning walks, midday potty breaks, evening exercise, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping a dog company, I make sure they receive consistent care and aren’t rushed. I only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention, patience, and affection they deserve. I also enjoy being active, so long walks, outdoor time, and interactive play are something I genuinely look forward to. I believe every pet is happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I take the time to learn each owner’s preferences and follow them closely. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or yours, I make sure they have fresh water, are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. I pay close attention to their behavior so I can quickly notice if anything seems unusual, and I’m happy to administer basic medications or accommodate special instructions when needed. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.
About: I have always been around cats and dogs my whole life and have taken care of both before. I love being able to bond with a pet! Hi there! I am based in Jersey City, NJ, and work 9:30AM-6PM, M-F. I am in-office in NYC every Wednesday, and sometimes Thursdays too! I am available on weekends- time doesn't really matter for me unless I have something planned but letting me know ahead of time works best! I'm originally from VA and with my cat back home, I always make sure he's fed with a clean box. Always tons of pets ready for him when he isn't asleep and treats & toys that he loves. The same goes for anyone else's pet I am responsible for!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Jersey City
Thank you! Extremely responsive and quick for a last minute visit. Elena was punctual and caring with my two cats: Tio & Nonna. She went out of her way to double-check directions and check in about things she thought were strange. I thought it was quite sweet! I also thought her photos really captured my cat’s personalities. She leaves a note and photos which is the bare minimum, but you never know what to expect with a sitter. Thank you Elena! Tio, Nonna, and I thank you!!!
As always, Jessica was amazing with my kittens. She is thorough, trustworthy and she loves cats! Ever since I moved to the region (more than 2 years ago), Jessica is the only catsitter I trust and I have re-booked her multiple times (and will continue to do so).
Francesca was amazing! Both of my cats warmed up to her almost immediately, even my more timid boy, who is usually quite wary of strangers. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and is passionate about what she does. I felt completely comfortable knowing my boys were in such caring hands. I would absolutely book Francesca again and highly recommend her!
Yuxin did such a fantastic job taking care of our gato while we were away! She was professional, kind, and thoughtful, and kept us updated with tons of pictures and videos, which we absolutely loved. Our little girl was clearly happy and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!
Stephanie went above and beyond and even laundered my bath mat when my pet had an accident. I felt secure that chi chi was taken care of while out of the country. She was responsive and I came back to a clean home and a healthy cat. I would definitely book her again! Thanks Steph!
Casey was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind, helpful, and accommodating throughout the entire process. We really appreciated how flexible she was and how easy she made everything for us. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our cat was in good hands while we were away. We would definitely recommend Casey and would happily book with her again!
Sarah was such a huge help while I was traveling for two weeks with my sweet but shy cat. My cat struggles with new people and can be very anxious with change (will hide for extended periods of time until visitors are gone). You can imagine my surprise when I received pictures/videos of my cat socializing/playing with Sarah on her first visit! Will happily book with Sarah (the cat whisperer) again and recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter with extra love and care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Jersey City is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $39 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 October 2026, there are 12,930 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 .
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 , 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 .

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 , 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.
