Jadis was an excellent choice to watch my two dogs while I was away on vacation. From the very beginning, she made everything feel effortless…communicating clearly, showing genuine care, and keeping me updated so I never felt unsure about how my dogs were doing. My dogs were calm and happy when I returned, which says a lot about the attention and routine Jadis maintained. I could tell they were comfortable in Jadis’s presence. I’m genuinely grateful to have found someone trustworthy. I’d absolutely book her again for future trips and would recommend Jadis to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog sitter.

About: La mayoría de tiempo cuido perros o gatos a familiares, amigos y conocidos, me encanta pasar el tiempo con ellos y brindar mi amor. Trabajo por las mañanas puedo ofrecer el bienestar de tu mascota en fines de semanas desde el sábado por la tarde hasta el domingo con mucha seguridad.

Irene was a fantastic cat sitter. She was reliable, communicative and very playful with our cat. She even brought her iPad to entertain our cat with cat games. He alap ate his wet food while she was around, which let us know he felt very comfortable and taken care of by her.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for several years and genuinely enjoy building trust with both animals and their owners. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, as well as basic care for other pets. Currently a teacher will have opening availability come summer time. So my availability will be pretty open to whatever the customer/pet needs are. Can’t wait! I make safety and comfort my top priorities when caring for pets. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions from the owner. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and always supervise interactions to ensure pets are safe at all times. I’m attentive to behavior and body language so I can respond quickly if anything seems off. In a client’s home, I respect their space while maintaining a calm, familiar environment for their pet. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away

About: I've been pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. Apart from my current two dogs, I've also raised three previous dogs from being a puppy into their senior years. I'm a firm believer in positive reinforcement training, every dog deserves the utmost love and care. I own my own business and set my own hours so I can accommodate anyone's pet care needs. I'm fine with short notice requests and can work with anyone's schedule! I have two dogs that can run around freely in my fenced in backyard. They each get at least two solo shorter walks (about 15 minutes around the park we live next to) per day and an additional longer walk (around 45-60 minutes) once my girlfriend gets home from work where we walk both together.

About: Since birth, I grew up around all different kinds of animals. I’ve raised 3 beautiful pit bulls and lab mix while also having the opportunity to dog sit friends pets from Golden Retriever’s to Yorkies. I am currently going to school part-time so I have plenty of free time to watch over your pets! My schedule is very flexible and easy to work around. I have a fenced backyard as well as front yard. I love playing fetch with my dog while also playing tag. After tricks, she loves receiving her treats.

About: I was a Veterinary Technician for 3 years and I gained many skills as a professional puppy petter and kitten kisser. I can medicate animals effectively and identify and alert the pet parent to potential problems before they become bigger issues. I have a degree in animal behavior and physiology, I've worked at an animal shelter, and I'd love nothing more than to get to know your pet and spend some time with them! I've got a cat and a dog myself, Chipotle and Guacamole, and they are incredible. I am doing this as a second source of income, so I have plenty of time devoted to playing with your pups or kicking it with your kitties! I will do whatever you feel is best for your pet. Your house, your rules. Obviously the pet's safety is paramount, but after that, youre the boss, boss!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with two dogs and later cared for two cats of my own, so I understand the patience, attention, and love pets need. Since moving to the U.S., I’ve also helped friends by caring for their pets in my home while they were away. I’m responsible, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making them feel safe and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays for drop offs and walks, and I always make sure pets are fed, exercised, played with, and given lots of affection throughout the day. Im flexible so i can have pets over my place as well as the client place. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. Having been a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust and routine are. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, follow instructions carefully, and make sure they feel secure, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, and really care about taking good care of pets. I also did a dog grooming course, so I know how to do that, as well. In a previous job, one of my duties was taking care of a French bulldog. I am fully available throughout the day and can also administer medication to pets when needed. Pet care requires attention and dedication, and I am committed to providing the care they need. I am available for multiple daily visits to make sure your pet is comfortable, cared for, and never feels alone, although I do not offer overnight stays.

About: I have over 9 years of experience caring for pets, starting in middle school with puppies and expanding to regular pet sitting for friends and community members. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies and adult dogs, as well as multiple cats at a time, even for stays lasting several days or over a week. I have a small dog of my own, so I understand the importance of consistent routines, attention, and creating a safe, loving environment. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and making sure every pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for while their owner is away. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long stay, or daily care, I’m committed to providing professional and loving support for your furry family members. I offer reliable pet care for dogs and cats, including walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. • Dog Walking / Daytime Care: Weekdays 7–10 AM & 1–5 PM | Weekends 9 AM–5 PM • Cat Sitting: Prefer to care for cats in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable. Visits are flexible 10 AM–6 PM, including multi-day stays. Experienced with multiple cats at a time and keeping routines consistent. • Overnight / Boarding: Available for dogs in my home or your home (limited spots—please inquire) I aim to keep every pet on a consistent routine, providing love, attention, and professional care while their owners are away. I’m happy to work with you to accommodate specific scheduling needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing a safe, clean, and loving environment. For dogs in my care, I make sure their home is secure, toys and food are organized, and I supervise all playtime and walks. For cats, I prefer in-home visits to keep them in their familiar, comfortable environment, minimizing stress and maintaining their routine. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, from feeding and medication schedules to exercise and playtime. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, and I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for at all times.

Joni was a wonderful sitter for Tigger! She communicated well throughout the stay and took great care of him — including giving him his medication and gently comforting him when he was scared. The only minor hiccup was with the Rover card check-in timing (either forgetting or tapping a bit too early), but that’s a small thing. Overall, I’d highly recommend her and would definitely book again!

Kayla is the most amazing sitter! She takes care of my babies with utmost attention to detail, and timeliness. She takes really fun pics for the rover card, I love reading her messages and pictures on those cards and looking forward to viewing them every time. She even got into a car accident but still came to a morning session not much delayed! She only mentioned to us about the accident after we came back. Such kindhearted and passionate animal lover and carer! I would recommend Kayla to anyone in needs, and it’s super rare for me to leave a review. Thank you Kayla for everything you did for my babies in the last two weeks!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Kearny

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Kearny on Rover is $19.98 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 12,179 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Kearny. 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 with handling special pet needs in Kearny. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
