“Jackie worked amazingly well with my Izzy cat. Izzy went immediately to Jackie upon meet & greet. I was very surprised since Izzy is usually shy or tends to swat new friends. Jackie was on time, followed feeding & litter instructions and treated Izzy with care & love. Im so relieved to have found her. Thank you again, Jackie Thank you Rover. Great site.”

“Ashley did a fantastic job caring for my cat while I was out of town. I could tell my cat was well loved with many pets and play time. Ashley also kept the house neat across the entire week, was a prompt and clear communicator, and asked questions before I left in order to understand how to provide care while I was away. Would highly recommend.”

About: Hi! I’m Rachel — lifelong animal lover and proud pet owner. I’m calm, dependable, and great at reading an animal’s needs. Whether your pet wants adventure, structure, or just couch cuddles, I’m here for it. I currently have multiple pets of my own, a big love for plants, and I study Japanese while working on my MBA — so I’m organized, reliable, and used to juggling responsibilities. You can always count on clear communication, updates, and lots of photos while you’re away! Over the years, I have cared for dog of all shapes, sizes, ages and needs through my own ownership and my time working at an animal shelter. From a 7 pound Pomeranian that required regular medication administration, to a 165 pound Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, to the many dogs that would come through the shelter to be adopted. I work full time Monday through Friday. While my schedule is flexible for drop-ins during client trips, I am usually available before 8:30, during lunch time, and after 5:30 those days for recurring visits. Happy to chat about availability and how we can arrange a schedule that works for everyone :) Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow your routines closely to keep things familiar and stress-free. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, energy level, and boundaries so they always feel secure with me. For walks, I use secure leashes, stay aware of surroundings, and avoid unsafe areas or interactions with unknown dogs. I’m patient, calm, and confident handling different temperaments. I’m respectful of your space, tidy, and always double-check locks, gates, and doors. You can expect clear communication, quick responses, and lots of photo updates for peace of mind.

“Ryan was an excellent find! Pleasant, dependable, and responsive, he did a fantastic job of taking care of my three cats while we were away for almost two weeks. Not only did he take care of my boys, he also brought in all the packages that we received while we were gone. He will be my first call when I need a pet care from here on out. Thanks Ryan!!”

And yes, that sounds like her pulling back to the backyard once she sees the house 🤣. She loves it back there. Looking forward to having your help with her again in 2 weeks!”

About: As an enthusiastic marathon runner and power walker- exercising with hyper dogs is my absolute favorite thing in the world! I am a mom to one dog and two cats, and have walked dogs formally for many years. I’m a social worker by day and care deeply about people, families and pets! I work 8am to 4pm Monday to Friday. I am available on evenings and weekends for dog walking and pet sitting. Specific availability depends on distance and travel time. I am an enthusiastic pet parent! I have always had dogs and cats, and I have had the privilege of caring for my neighbor’s pets on and off for the last 15 years. I have experience caring for senior and medically fragile pets, as well as young and hyper pets that need exercise and stimulation. I care for all pets with the same diligence that I care for my own.

She is a excellent communicator and truthfully, my cats were probably sad when I got home LOL! Would definitely use Rylee again!”

About: I have over 25 years of pet/house sitting experience. I started out in Los Angeles doing pet and house sitting as a full time job. I have local, national and international references. Feel free to ask any questions you might have. I work part time, from home, as a Virtual Assistant. I can work from anywhere and I make my own schedule, so your fur babies will have my full attention. I do not care for pets in my own home. I do not do boarding in my own home. I only care for pets in clients homes.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals and have always had a special love for pets! Throughout the years, I’ve helped care for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I’m also currently a nursing student, so I understand the importance of patience, responsibility, and paying close attention to individual needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own and know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member! I’m currently enrolled in an accelerated nursing program and also work part-time, but I love spending my free time caring for animals! My schedule varies throughout the week, and I’m happy to coordinate visits around my classes and work schedule. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I always make sure I can dedicate the time and attention they deserve. I’m happy to discuss availability and work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pets with someone new, so I make it my goal to provide the same love and attention they receive from you. As a nursing student, I understand the importance of cleanliness, safety, and recognizing when something doesn’t seem right. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication routines when applicable, and any special requests you may have. I respect your home and your pet’s normal routine, and I’m always happy to send pictures and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

About: I have grown up with a variety of dog breeds (husky mix, hound mix, lab, blue heeler/lab) and am comfortable with a variety of dog sizes and personalities. My partner and I fostered a very social and sweet fluffy guy, so you may have seen us running with him to the dog park now and then. I am attentive and love getting to know each dog’s individual personality. As a third year med student, my day to day schedule can vary, but I am typically available in the evenings and on weekends. I love hanging out with pets while I study, and walks are always a welcome break! We go on regular walks (or runs if the dog is used to that) throughout the day, play, snuggle, and hang out. I am very attentive to cleanliness and locking up after visits.

Melany was fantastic. I would recommend her to all of my friends. I reached out to her on short notice when I was in a pinch and she responded quickly. She was so patient and loving to my cat. I knew my baby was in the right hands and I always looked forward to her fun updates.

Jiawen S. was fabulous with my fur baby! You can tell she cared for my pet as if he was her own. She asked good questions to ensure she knew how to best care for him, and she provided wonderful updates about his care and progress while I was away. It was so reassuring to have someone like Jiawen caring for Basil and a relief knowing he was in such loving, capable hands. I will certainly be using her again…she was terrific! Thank you so very much, Jiawen, for all of your good care of my fur baby, paying such close attention to his routine and caring for him just like I do!

Tiffany was fantastic from beginning to end. Jane is pretty shy when it comes to new people, but Tiffany took her time each visit to lure Jane out to make sure she had some fun and treats.

We were away for just over three weeks. Kate came to take care of my 2 cats. She provided photos and full details of cat care daily. One cat has to take a pill and she reassured me that all was well at home. She also watered my indoor plants and took the used kitty litter to the curb on trash night. (So there was not an unliftable bag of litter to haul out upon return.). All interactions in person and text were great. My cats, including the shy one who gets the pill, really seemed to like her and interacted well with her.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Lawrenceville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lawrenceville is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $34 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 November 2026, there are 426 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lawrenceville. 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 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 Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lawrenceville. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 86% 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 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.
