“Kourtney is super experienced and great! Kourtney knew exactly how to interact with my foster cat when she first met her, which was a huge relief because my foster was still settling in. She cares so much for my foster cat, so much so that she wants to hear whenever she gets adopted.”

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.

“Kelly is the absolute best. This was our first time on Rover, and her communications were clear and quick, and she did great work reassuring us that our pup was in good hands. Loved the photographs, and really appreciated the time she took to communicate with us by phone and by text. We’re only slightly concerned that our pup now likes her more than us! 😀 Hugely impressed with Kelly - she’ll take fab care of your pups.”

She sent me many photos and videos which I truly appreciated putting me at ease while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to watch your pets and will for sure be requesting her again in the future.”

About: I’ve cared for friends’ multi-cat homes while they were away, keeping litter areas clean and maintaining feeding routines with calm, attentive check-ins My availability is mostly in the evenings, with weekend visits possible depending on location. I’m happy to discuss specific scheduling needs during our meet and greet. I provide calm, attentive care for pets in their own home. For cats, this includes maintaining clean litter areas, following feeding schedules, refreshing water, and giving gentle attention. I monitor behavior and wellbeing to make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Visits are mostly in the evenings and weekends, and I’m happy to discuss specific routines during the meet and greet

About: As someone who has had many fur babies, I understand how hard it can be to leave them! My goal is to make that experience less stressful and ensure that you are stress free while away. I have had extensive experience caring for animals ranging from dogs and cats to reptiles, amphibians, fish, guinea pigs, mice, rats and hamsters. I currently have a cat and guinea pigs but have had all of the prior listed animals at one point or another. I am comfortable doing care for special needs animals and don’t mind the extra time that they need. I am available on short notice and during some odd hours due to grad school. I am a current grad student so I have flexible timing as well as last minute availability. I am available most weekdays after 3pm and anytime on the weekends. Given my experience with many pets, I know how to safely handle many species as well as care for cats and dogs. I am also trained in animal cpr and am comfortable dealing with any special needs an animal has as well as any emergencies that may arise.

“Delaney was amazing! She was so friendly, reliable, and clearly cares about animals. She kept me updated with photos and my cats warmed up to her so quickly. She even went the extra mile to clean their food mat and offered to take out our trash so the house wouldn’t smell when we got home. I came back to happy, relaxed pets and everything spotless. 10/10 would recommend — she’s the best!”

About: I've taken care of dogs most of my life, and learned quite a bit from my vet tech relatives. I'm incredibly patient, attentive and caring. I have a huge soft spot for all animals. I have a ton of experience with smaller breeds of dogs like Yorkies, Pomeranians, Shih Tzus, Chihuahuas, and Maltese. Also fairly experienced with larger breeds like Rottweilers and German Shepherds. I have flexible availability, and can be accommodating of pet owner schedules. I also have some light grooming experience such as bathing and brushing dogs. As well as dressing them. (For those who like to dress their pups in outfits and boots.) I am also willing to go jogging or running with your dog, as it is a fun way to stay in shape! I have open availability and I am flexible! With reasonable advance notice I can most likely be available for any services needed. I have reliable transportation as well. Best of all, I work from home! I live in a dog friendly apartment building that has two dog parks attached. One for large to medium dogs, and a second for small breed dogs.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing happy pets, and giving their owners peace of mind that they are in safe hands. I have hundreds of 5 star reviews, and positive references detailing my work in all types of services with many different types of animals. I will always go above and beyond to care for any pet in my care, it's what I'm ultimately passionate about. I am incredibly flexible with my schedule, I do pet services full time and I'm always open to accommodating however I can. With open communication, anything is possible!

Irisdelie was so good with me and my cat! Would definitely book with her again and I feel more comfortable with the idea of traveling knowing she is an option. She was so professional, communicative, accommodating, respectful, kind, and she made me laugh with her visit summaries. She did everything I asked for and put in effort to make my cat comfortable. My cat eventually felt very comfortable and affectionate with her, which is great because she is afraid of strangers. Irisdelie also met up with me beforehand and spent over an hour getting to know what I needed and during my trip she took lots of great pics! Thank you so much Irisdelie, it was a pleasure! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Kearny on Rover is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per visit. 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 12,846 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 .

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 .

  • 94% 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 , 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.
