“Nicolle was a wonderful sitter to my cat while I was out on a holiday. She took great care of her while also making sure my home was in a good state for my cat. She is very caring and so loving towards my cat. She played with her, brushed her, petted her. She also made sure all the details were taken care of. Will recommend her and take her services once again :)”

About: I’m excited to provide safe, reliable, and caring walks for your dog! I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I’ll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether your pup enjoys an energetic walk or a slower-paced stroll, I’ll tailor each visit to keep them happy and comfortable. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to treating every dog as if they were my own. You can count on me to arrive on time, follow your instructions carefully, and keep you updated with photos and notes after every walk so you always know your pet is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend and becoming someone you can trust for dependable pet care! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so dog walking is something I genuinely look forward to. I’m able to dedicate consistent time throughout the week to provide reliable walks and attentive care. I’m flexible with scheduling and committed to being dependable, punctual, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Kearny is a welcoming, residential community with plenty of sidewalks, parks, and green spaces that make it a great environment for daily dog walks. The neighborhood offers a nice mix of quiet residential streets and more active areas, giving dogs opportunities for both relaxed walks and exercise. It’s a convenient and pet-friendly environment for enjoying time outdoors with your furry companion.

About: Had a very aggressive dog when I was younger even lead me to getting bit pretty badly but I know dogs don’t know any better and I think they still deserve love and care no matter what which gives me experience with all types of dogs. Currently am a server at night which gives me lots of free time during the day. I’m moving away soon so I’m super available anytime I have a 12 year old bulldog and a 9 year old goldendoodle my dear bulldog is the love of my life I’ve had him for as long as I can remember. He was extremely feisty in his early years but all dogs deserve a second chance

“Gabby stayed with our 15 year old, newly diagnosed as diabetic, cat hunter for 4 days. She made sure he received all of his meds, including insulin injections, as instructed. Gabby sent photos and text updates throughout each day. Additionally, she took Hunter to the vet twice to receive his scheduled fluid treatments and made sure his litter box was cleaned daily. We arrived home to a clean house & a happy Hunter. Gabby is very personable, timely & a pleasure to know. I highly recommend Gabby as a responsible, professional & caring pet sitter.”

About: If you need a kind, positive dog sitter who loves walking a lot, here I am. My grooming certificate is a big plus in case you need nail trimming or having your dog brushed and dead hair removed. Since I work online, my day is flexible so I can walk with your dog and give your pet more attention. Also, waking up early is never a problem. You need to bring his/her food and favorite snacks. I'll give food that you provide according to your dog's schedule. Also, trying to make your dog feel safe is a must for me. His/her favorite toy would help a lot. So, if you could bring a few, it'd be great. I don't allow dogs on my bed. There is a comfy and soft mat.

About: I treat every pet as if my own. With lots of hugs and kisses and treats :) Cuddlers are welcomed to snuggle on my sofa. And for those that like to be pampered, love to groom. I do have a senior dog so I do have experience with them, everything at their own pace. Also have a high energy pet that loves to play with others. Have experience with dogs that pull on leash and can assist with potty training. I do work fulltime but there is always someone at home. Pets get full attention after workdays and weekends. During the days pets are secured in a safe designated area in my home where it is quiet and away from distractions. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly pups that will keep others entertained. Also have a large crate for safe zone. Will do leashed walks to nearby parks. Also can take your pet on short hikes if ok.

Irisdelie is a wonderful pet sitter. I totally felt like my fur baby was in the most capable hands. She’s so attentive and took great care of my Jupiter, feeding, playing with her, giving her pets while I was away, taking great pictures, and leaving the best notes. I will absolutely book her again in a heartbeat!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ She went above and beyond caring for my two cats! She came to my home twice a day and was incredibly attentive, reliable, and thoughtful. She sent me pictures and updates during every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My cats seemed very comfortable and happy with her, and she even cleaned up after them and left everything nice and tidy. I truly appreciated how much care and attention she gave them. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter. I will definitely be booking her again! 🐾💕

Siara did an amazing job looking after our 2 cats for a week. On top of the usual (food, water, litter), she made sure to spend some time with cats and do what they wanted to do, be that brushing, playing, petting, or anything in between. She even got our very shy girl to warm up to her in just a couple of days! She was also super thoughtful and flagged an issue with automatic feeder that we missed and helped us ensure our cats were getting their meals dispensed on time. She also provides detailed reports and tons of pictures, and is great at prompt and timely communication. We hate leaving our cats home alone, but with Siara we felt they were well taken care of and would definitely book Siara again in the future!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Kearny

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Kearny on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 12,704 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.
