About: I’ve been caring for pets reliably and consistently since I was 15, and over the years I’ve built strong experience with cats and dogs of all ages and needs. What sets me apart is my experience with senior and special needs dogs and cats—I understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attentiveness they require, whether it’s administering medications, helping them move around comfortably, or simply giving them calm companionship. I’m committed to treating every pet like my own, with a balance of love, structure, and reliability that gives owners peace of mind. As a self-employed person, I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day and week. I’m able to plan around feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins, and I have the time to give pets consistent attention without feeling rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make safety and trust my top priorities. I carefully follow the pet’s established routine, from feeding schedules to walk routes, and make sure doors, leashes, and gates are always secure. During walks, I’m attentive to my surroundings and keep pets safe from hazards or unfamiliar animals. I also keep the home environment tidy and respectful, treating it with the same care I would my own. My goal is to give pets a comfortable, stress-free experience and give owners peace of mind knowing their pets and home are in responsible hands.
“Chance was absolutely incredible! He left such detailed feedback for each drop-in visit, and he took the best possible care of Avett while I was out-of-town. I would definitely recommend booking with him, and I’ll 100% be using him again!”
“Christine took good care of my dog. She showed concern that he was shaking when she got there and texted me right away. She spent time with him until he seemed to stop shaking and left me know that he was alright. I will definitely rebook her when I need someone.”
About: I have watched and cared for kittens and puppies through senior cats and dogs, performed basic grooming needs, and administered medications (oral and injectable). I have watched many different breeds of dogs including corgis, pitbull mixes, french bulldogs, poodles, doodles, labs, and larger mixed breeds. I currently work from home, mostly second shift, with a fairly flexible schedule. As long as I have Internet, I am able to work from almost anywhere (within reason obviously lol). I am often up late, but don’t mind early morning walks. I currently reside in a rental home, so I have permissible access to in-home accommodations. I have an SUV and am able transport crates and smaller or larger breeds if needed. I prefer to provide care in your own home - care that will be up to your standards and conveys that I will treat your animal(s) as I would my own. Pets are typically more comfortable in their territory and therefore I prefer to cause them less stress. I am very laid back and self sufficient, so I will make minimal adjustments while in your/their space and will absolutely be respectful to your home and belongings.
“I couldn't have asked for a smoother and seemless process. We went away for about 3 days for a trip and our dogs were in the best of care. Anna was fantastic with replies and responses. Loved the pictures she sent and updates of how they were doing :)) Thank you so much and will definitely look for you in the future!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for the most part of my life. I have never not had a dog in my house. I also look after my bosses dogs when needed. My grandma helped me understand the responsibality for taking care of animals. I am free Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays after 1 in the afternoon and I am free Tuesday and Thursdays all day until 5:45 as I have cheer those days until 8:30. Wednesdays I am available until 6-8 because I have cheer lift. I am also available most weekends unless I have something for cheer. I am unable to take pets into my home because I am renting for school, but I am able to go to your house and take care of pets there.
“Thankyou so much Mikenah. You have been the best to our sweet girl Sassie. I am so happy you we're the one we chose to care for our kitty. The level of care and lovins is unmatched. I don't easily trust people but you have exceeded our expectations. I know my Sassie will always be great in your hands. 10/10 book her. You won't regret it.”
About: We are a family that fosters dogs for rescue. I've had dogs my whole life. I have 5 dogs of my own that are well loved. I frequently dog sit for friends and neighbors and love it so much I thought why not help others. I know what it's like to be going on a trip out of town and worrying about your dogs. I want to help people feel relaxed and enjoy their time away knowing their pups are in good safe hands. I will send you photos and updates throughout your dog's stay with me so that you know your pet is safe, happy, and loving their time here. I work from home, so am available to help pets with separation anxiety too. I do not crate your pets unless requested or absolutely necessary! We do have a dog savvy cat also. A portion of every service is donated to dog rescue. I work from home. I am home most of the time. My own pets thrive on consistent schedules so I am able to provide that for your fur babies also. This is not a kennel environment. This is my home and your pets are treated like family! I have a fenced yard. My five dogs are dog friendly. I can crate if requested but I do allow them free roam of my home and backyard. This is not a kennel environment. This is my home and your pets are treated like family!
About: I volunteer at the SPCA walking dogs and caring for the cats. I'm a lover of all animals. I'm very clean and responsible and care for all animals as I would a family member. I'm currently working full-time, but I'm available after 4 and all weekends and holidays. I have a dog and fours cats of my own and this seems to work for them. They are very happy. I take my dog on long walks and provide him enrichment treats and toys. I always check when leaving to make sure that nothing is out he can hurt himself with. I'm also very strict on cleaning the cat boxes as I don't want them to get sick or smell up the house. I will clean up after your pets and I will make sure they are safe and happy.
About: Hi! I’m a pet sitter with a soft spot for all creatures—furry, scaly, or spidery. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, geckos, bearded dragons, fish, guinea pigs, bunnies, chickens, and tarantulas, and I know how to handle both the basics and the more unique needs. Tattoos and piercings aside, I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely love animals. I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, seen, and well cared for while you’re away—whether that means a walk, tank check, or just some love and attention. I’m a local college student home for summer break so I am flexible and free to meet your needs, from long-term to daily check-ins to hours of play! I am very specific with my interaction with your pets— any instructions, no matter how weird or detailed, I will follow to ensure great care for your pet.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 59 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Jersey Shore. 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.
