Zoe was great with my Charlie! As a new puppy I was a little nervous leaving him alone to run errands and my doctors appointments,she was able to pick up the shift last minute and Charlie was well taken care of. Highly recommended!

Lindsey was reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of my Stella. She goes above and beyond! I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would absolutely book with Lindsey again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

About: Hi! I'm Jordan, a professional women's soccer player! While soccer keeps me busy, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by pets and currently have two dogs back home—a German Shorthaired Pointer named Grace and a Yellow Lab named Earl—as well as my 15-year-old black cat, Pigpen. Being away from them during the season has only made me appreciate how important it is to know they're in good hands, and that's exactly the kind of care I want to provide for your pets. I've spent years dog sitting, cat sitting, providing dog walks, and giving cats the attention and enrichment they need while their families are away. I also volunteer with local animal shelters and have training in cat enrichment, so I'm comfortable working with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company and stick to their routine, I'm happy to meet them where they're at. I know every pet is different, and I treat every animal I care for like they're my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind that they're in good hands! As a professional soccer player, having structure and consistency is a big part of my daily life. My training schedule is planned well in advance, which allows me to dedicate focused time to the pets I care for. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I make sure each pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I know how important it is for pets to stay comfortable in their own environment, so I do everything I can to keep their routine as normal as possible. I'll follow your instructions carefully, whether that's feeding schedules, medications, favorite walking routes, playtime, or bedtime routines. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. For dogs, every walk is tailored to their age, energy level, and personality. Some dogs enjoy a long, active walk with plenty of opportunities to explore, while others are happiest with a slower pace and extra sniffing time. Safety is always my top priority, and I'll make sure your dog gets both the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need. For cats, I understand that every personality is different. Some cats love interactive play and attention, while others prefer a calm presence and a familiar routine. With my background in feline enrichment, I enjoy providing activities that keep cats engaged while always respecting their comfort level. I'll also treat your home with the same care and respect that I would my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets—and your home—are in good hands.

Gabrielle watched our four cats for a week and she is amazing! Gave meds to Willow on schedule, and the reclusive Pippin made a showing. Our home and all things relating to the cats was perfectly taken care of. Gabrielle has a kind and calm nature that made our four cats comfortable. Great communicator too! Highly recommend for pet sitting!!

About: I've had pets my entire life and have spent several years caring for dogs and other pets for friends and family. I'm comfortable with animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I'm happy to care for most small pets as well. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, etc. I'll treat them like they're my own and make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you're away! I currently work part-time, so I'm available after 3 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The rest of the week, I have plenty of availability for daytime, evenings, and weekends. I keep my calendar updated, so you can always see my most current availability before booking. Although I'm new to Rover, I've spent years caring for dogs for friends and family. I understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away.

Mary Ann recently cared for our two cats for the second time. Once again, we were thoroughly impressed with her service. She is incredibly attentive to our cats' needs and shows great care during her time with them. In addition to her care for our pets, she is very respectful of our home and consistently responsive in her communication. We truly appreciate her reliability and the peace of mind she provides while we are away.

Despite Charlie never coming out from under my bed, Blake showed up daily 2x/day to feed her, try to play, & ensure she had a clean litter box. I think Charlie would have had a pretty fun time, had she stuck her nose out just a little. Lots of funny pics of Charlie's eye &nose! 😁 I'd call Blake again -- he's a responsible cat- sitter.

About: I have a dog and cat of my own and raised them since puppyhood/kittenhood. I believe all furbabies deserve the most loving care and attention possible. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends for boarding, visits, and walks. Feel free to reach out and I will work with your unique schedule. If your fur-baby is more shy or independent, I have extra rooms where they can rest comfortably and confidently. If your fur-baby is more social, I have two pets that can keep them company. Safe community with private walking paths and not much traffic for peaceful dog walks. Clean and well-maintained household.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, structure, and personalized attention I provide to every dog in my home. With a fully fenced-in yard and a safe, cozy environment, your dog will feel right at home the moment they arrive. I treat every pup like family, making sure they get plenty of playtime, cuddles, and calm, consistent care tailored to their needs. Whether it’s a weekend away or a longer trip, I provide peace of mind through loving, dependable, and stress-free boarding. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, from morning walks to evening playtime, it’s built into the rhythm of my day. I work from home, so your dog will have consistent companionship, attention, and care throughout their stay. I care for every dog like they’re my own - with plenty of love, attention, and a safe, enriching environment. We go on daily walks for fresh air and stimulation, and there’s endless playtime in my fully fenced-in backyard, where pups can run, explore, or just relax. The yard has both sunny spots for sunbathers and shaded areas on the patio for cooling down, so every dog can find their comfort zone. Whether it’s structured activity or cozy downtime, I make sure each pet gets the right balance of exercise, companionship, and care tailored to their needs.

About: For the past eight years, I’ve provided attentive dog walking and cat care for pets with a wide range of needs, personalities, and medical conditions. I’m committed to giving every pet patient, loving, and dependable care while making their safety, comfort, and happiness my highest priorities. After years in retail and banking, I chose to follow my passion for pet care and build a career centered on trust, compassion, and reliability. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I strive to give pet parents peace of mind through clear communication and consistent, thoughtful service. I'm available for dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs or cats, Monday through Friday between 8 am & 4 pm. I’m not usually available on weekends, however, if you’re in a bind and need a walk or a visit on a Saturday or a Sunday, and I have no plans that weekend, I most likely will be able to do it as long as it’s no later than 12 pm. For your dog's safety, dogs are prolific sniffers, inevitably putting things in their mouths that they shouldn't. I pay close attention to and keep a watchful eye on the ground to make sure your dog doesn't put anything in its mouth that can be harmful. In the unlikely event your dog or cat needs medical attention, I’m certified in cat and dog first aid by the American Red Cross.

About: Dog Mom to three beautiful mixed-breed rescue dogs: Izzy (10) Staffy mix, Sadie (3) Dachshund mix, Monica Lewinsky (2) Chihuahua mix. Throughout my time owning Izzy in NYC and NJ, I've worked with multiple trainers & behaviorists to better understand reactive/sensitive dogs. I'm well versed in reading body language, avoiding triggering situations, and reinforcing good behavior. All the dogs in the neighborhood know I have treats on me at all times! I'm working freelance so I have nearly full availability currently. My dogs get three 30+ minute walks a day plus backyard + basement play sessions. I'm not accepting boarding at this time but safety would be my top priority when caring for your pet in your home or neighborhood. This includes double door systems, ensuring collar/harness is applied properly, and always being alert on walks. (I don't use my phone on walks so I can be actively present!)

Lindsey was so on top of Nico's care! There were things that she brought to our attention before we could even follow up with her on what to expect. Such a huge help. She really knows her animals and what is needed to take care of them.

I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! From the very beginning, they were professional, reliable, and clearly passionate about caring for animals. They took the time to understand my cat’s routine, personality, and needs, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I received regular updates, photos, and little notes that reassured me my cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was obvious my cat felt safe and relaxed, which says everything. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and genuinely caring pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Livingston on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 12,132 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Livingston. 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 Livingston. 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.
