“So amazing! Very accommodating and attentive and willing to keep in touch with you. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs, knowing they would be well taken care of.”
“Frances did a fantastic job of caring for our cats while we were on vacation. With 3 Rescues inside and 2 TNR's outside, it's not easy to find someone to take that on. Everything went great and she kept us informed with texts & pics after each visit. She made our vacation so much more enjoyable.”
“Hunter did a great job with our two dogs and was very responsive to our “visit” service request, did a meet and greet with us earlier this past week and executed on our the agreed to services . Very reliable, pleasant and mature. We received updates and photos on each visit. Hunter is highly recommended.”
About: In all my 22 years of life, I have always had a dog and have assisted in feeding, bathing, and walking the dogs I’ve had. I’ve always been an animal person even considered becoming a vet at one point. Whenever I am at someone’s home, you can find me hanging out with their pet wether it’s a dog or cat or even a snake! In addition to walks on ROVER I make and sell custom stickers. Pet stickers are especially popular and my Etsy is ShopMomentsFromMichi I currently have a flexible schedule, please reach out to me a week in advance, so I can fit your pup into that schedule!! I do 20 hours of volunteer work a week and babysit, I plan each weeks work days/ volunteering days about a week in advance and would love to add your precious pet into that mix! I am looking to do dog walking and dropping in! I am open to taking your dog for a leashed walk around the neighborhood or drive them to a fenced in dog park if you’re comfortable with it!! Whenever I walk a dog I always bring myself and the dog water to keep us safe and hydrated.
“Heather was GREATTTT with my dog. She checked in consistently and responded quickly with no issues. I had no worries about my doggy at all I knew she was in great hands. She paid attention to her very well and updated us through the day. Book her and you’ll see!! 😊”
About: After spending nearly a decade as a nurse, I decided it was time to make a career shift to do what I really love, which is working with animals. I am a full-time pet sitter, bonded & insured. I've been caring for others for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family home was affectionately known as "the zoo." Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish... you name it, we probably had one. I'm comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with more complex medical needs. My background in healthcare was so valuable in teaching me the importance of empathy, patience and compassionate care, and now I get to share those qualities with each and every animal that I work with. Whether your pet needs a walk, medication, or just a trusted friend while you're away, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I can't wait to meet your furry, feathered, or scaly family members! I am a full-time, professional pet sitter and have open availability to help take care of your pets! Once you have completed a meet & greet, same-day requests are available as well. Every pets has different needs and I will make sure to follow your pets schedule as closely as possible. At the meet and greet we will discuss how frequently your pet needs go potty, have their litter changed, feeding schedules, medication, etc and keep you up-to-date on everything that happened during our visits.
“Jon is a cat whisperer. A cat magnet. We were worried about leaving our two 1-1/2 year old cats for 10 days to take a family visit. There was absolutely nothing to be worried about. Even the very shy cat greeted Jon at the door every day and gave him nose kisses. Your pets deserve the care of Jon.”
“Olivia has been great with my goldendoodle. She helps my out a few times a week while I am at work. I don’t trust many people with my baby and I trust her! Not only am I happy with her but my girl LOVES her. It is a great feeling knowing that your dog is in good hands. It is such a relief to have found her to help me out.”

“My two dogs loved getting belly rubs from Jim! Even my cat had to get in on the action. I just needed a drop in but it’s good to know there’s someone I can contact again when I’ll be out for a good part of the day.”
About: I've rescued all over 50 dogs, have years of pet-sitting experience and love animals of all shapes and sizes! Even skittish pets trust me perhaps because I have a calm personality. I have retired after working at Riverview Medical center for 25 years so I have lots of time to spend with your pet family! I am available most days and/or evenings. I will follow your instructions to the letter- you know what is best for your pet. I will sit with them, feed them, play with them, walk them, administer medicine and/or treats or do whatever is needed to keep them healthy and happy!
“Wonderful Experience with Kristin! ~* We recently had the pleasure of having Kristin care for our two fur children (Mimi and Luci) while we were away, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! From our initial meeting, Kristin showed genuine interest and care for our kitties~* Throughout our time away, Kristin provided daily photo updates and descriptions of how our cats were doing. This was incredibly reassuring and allowed us to enjoy our trip knowing our fur bebes were in good hands. Not only did Kristin handle the basics of feeding and litter box maintenance flawlessly, but she also took the time to play and interact with our cats, which we (and they) appreciated immensely. It was evident that she genuinely loves animals and knew how to make our kitties feel comfortable and loved. In addition to the excellent care of our cats, Kristin also took care of our home beautifully. Everything was in perfect order upon our return, which was an added bonus after a long drive home. Overall, we cannot recommend Kristin highly enough. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and obvious love for animals make her an exceptional choice for anyone in need of pet care. We will definitely be calling on her again for all our future pet sitting needs! Thank you again, Kristin! ~* Love, Jessie, Russell <3 Mimi & Luci”

“Nick did 3 drop-in visits to take care of our 2 cats while we were away for the week. He followed our instructions to a T and left the house very clean - we didn’t even see any stray litter on the floors when we got back. Nick seemed very caring with the cats and took the time to pet and get to know each of them. Even our 1 shy cat was comfortable with him. He even offered to water our plants and take in our mail and delivered packages while we were away. We will definitely use Nick in the future and would recommend him to anyone.”

Jon was fantastic with my two cats, spending even more time with them than agreed upon. Over several visits on a long weekend, he gave them excellent care and lots of play. The sociable one fell for him immediately, and even my nervous girl warmed up over a short time. He’s got great energy and a clear love of animals. Book him today!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Long Branch on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 10,400 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Long Branch. 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.

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.
