About: I have such a big heart for animals and a connection to them with a passion for taking care of any type of animal! I grew up taking in rescues with my family at home. We have rescued a senior yorkie, four kittens, and a deaf kitty. I currently have one 4 year old maltipoo at home and one goldfish! In the past we had fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, and lizards at home. Throughout the years I love participating in anything involving innocent fur babies. For two years I pet sit my sisters french bulldog with GI issues and my brothers cat. At the same time I was in a P.A.W.S (protecting animals without stability) club in high school. I currently volunteer at two animal shelters since 2022. After high school I pursued an associates degree in Biology while participating in a veterinary assistant program. I graduated the program and continued on to getting my first full time job at a veterinary hospital as an approved veterinary assistant! Therefore, I have knowledge on animal anatomy, sickness and care procedures. I plan to complete my Biology degree while working full time and helping to take care of your fur babies 💗 I am currently in school pursuing a science degree while working part time at a hospital. I pet sit, house sit and dog walk. I am available weekdays and weekends for any help you need with your fur babies. I am very flexible and work around school to continue my passion of animal care. I will make sure to socialize and spend quality time your pets. I will take them on energetic walks and make sure they are fed and comfortable!
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs most of my life and really enjoy connecting with each pet’s unique personality. Caring for my senior dog Benji during his later years taught me a lot about patience and paying attention to the little things that make a big difference in their comfort and happiness. I’m gentle and patient with shy or nervous pets and enjoy creating calm, low-stress environments. But I’m also happy to play and engage with energetic pets to help them burn off energy and feel satisfied by the end of our visit. I’m comfortable administering medications and always treat pets and their homes with respect and care. I work full time during the week, so most of my availability is in the early mornings (6-9 am), evenings (after 5:30 pm), and weekends. There can be some flexibility there if we work it out ahead of time :) I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine as much as possible, and I make sure they still get plenty of attention and care during the times I’m with them. If your pet needs a consistent schedule, just let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate. When I visit your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable by following their routine closely, keeping their space clean, and paying attention to anything that might seem off. I always double check that doors and windows are secure before I leave. I know it’s a big deal to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Lisa Marie was excellent with our two high-energy dogs! She was prompt and a great communicator. She sent lots of pictures of our pups so we could see they were having a great time and gave thorough reports on how the drop-in visits went. Some of the pics she sent were actually frame-worthy!! Thank you for taking such great care of Linkin and Hudson!”
About: I have loved and cared for animals since childhood. I grew up with my Doberman, Orlik, and later had two cats, Mia and Musya. I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for pets and I’m always happy to help friends and others when they need someone they can trust with their pets. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while they are with me I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they need. I can adjust my routine based on each pet’s individual schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s usual routine and do my best to keep it consistent. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I have a fenced yard and will always provide a clean, comfortable, and caring environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines, and any special needs. I understand that every pet is different, so I give them the time, attention, and personal care they need to feel safe and comfortable.
About: I have taken care of animals from childhood and beyond. I have an array of experience and a few pets myself. I care for your pets as if they were my own. I am a teacher who is off for the summer I am looking to fill my days with animals and joy. I am reliable and dedicated to providing the best service for you and your fur baby. I treat every animal with kindness and trust. I have years of experience with all size dogs and cats alongside all different kinds of personalities.
About: I have a plethora of experience in the pet care industry. From dog sitting since I was a teenager to becoming an animal care manager for an animal shelter, I have taken care of animals and pets in many different settings. I will take care of your pets as if they are my own! I am a certified animal control officer who has dealt with difficult situations and handled difficult animals with care. Rest assured I will take care of your pets with the utmost responsibility while making your animals feel comfortable and loved. I work nights so I can take care of animals throughout the morning and afternoon and even stop by later at night. My schedule is very flexible so I can provide full time pet care with enough notice! I will make sure to take care of your pets exactly as you would. I have a medicated senior dog myself who is spoiled beyond belief but with my experience in a shelter environment I have had to adapt to my pet care tactics on a case by case basis. I’m someone who will follow your directions to a T as you know your pets the best.
“Thanks so much to Jill for caring for our two fur babies while we were out of town. All of the updates and pictures she shared helped us to feel very comfortable leaving our kitties and home in her care.”
About: Hello, my name is Thelma! I am currently an ER Vet Tech, for the last 2 years almost, and working in the ECC Dept. for almost 3 years as an assistant. I am familiar & comfortable administration medications, or fluids. Before I entered Vetmed, I found my connection to animals, by dogsitting frequently. Not to mention, the handful of pets I’ve had. I have been dogsitting for multiple years, with all different kind of breeds. Being in Vetmed and working in the ER, I have extended knowledge and experience when it comes to taking care and watching your pets. I work full-time, all day, between Thu-Sat from 9am-10pm. Leaving the rest of the week to care for your pet(s). During my work week I am unavailable to sit pets since I work morning straight to night. But any other day (with enough time ahead planning wise) I am free to watch and love your pet! I do not take clients pets into my home, but I am more than happy to come to your house for your fur babies. I would care for your pet by simply doing what they know and what they are familiar with.
About: I really adore making connections with animals. I’ve looked after friends and family’s pets many times, whether I dropped in to give some pets and treats or stayed a few nights to keep them company. Apart from my own cat Jade, there’s lots of strays in the area that my neighbors and I help feed and look after. I also live very close to the SPCA in case of emergencies. I love being active and having an excuse to take a walk or play with your loved ones. I work an 8am-4pm office job. I work from home every Thursday, and am off Saturdays and Sundays. Would be able to stop by after work, spend nights, go on walks and to parks, or just to chill and give your pet some company while you’re away! I’m very careful about having scraps and trash cleaned up to avoid any eating or swallowing. I don’t keep many hazardous plants or products in my home. I have many soft spaces for dogs or cats to lay or hide, very calm and quiet in the home and neighborhood as well. I’m always giving my cat attention, and check up on her paws, teeth, ears, and normal behavior every day to make sure she’s okay
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats my whole life! Looking for some pets to take care of in the Monmouth County area. I am a college student at Monmouth University but I am looking to help out any fur babies in my free time. I finished up my 4th season of soccer with Monmouth University and now with my added free time I would like to help out anyone in need. I live in a welcoming home with a lot of girls who love all types of animals. I am willing to make any accommodations to make your pets feel safe!
About: For over 10 years I've been involed with pet care, primarily in the form of Trap Neuter Release (TNR) for backyard litters of kittens and the caring that came along with it; bottle feeding, medication schedules and rehoming. In additon, I have had animals of all kinds throughout childhood including hamsters, birds, dogs, cats, and even rabbits. I have dealt with everything from puppy stages, kitten care, rabbit care, to senior dogs with disabilities. I got my own dog almost three years ago, a rescue from an abusive home, in addition to the family pets. She has taught me so much on caring for animals that need extra patience or time with others. Currently home from college which offers a flexible schedule and plenty of time dedicated to your little friends! I’m available throughout the week for feedings, walks, playtime, drop-ins, or all-day sitting. I prioritize the pet’s comfortability with me, making sure they feel safe and calm. I follow any and all directions given by owners to ensure our little friend's routine is upkept and uninterupted. I love to take the time to build trust through gentle interaction and patience, especially with the skiddish ones (my own included). Furthermore, I am always prepared to respond calmly and responsibly in case of any emergencies.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Marlboro
Christina was very friendly and had great communication with me throughout the week. Although my kitty is a VERY shy boy, she tried her best to give him attention and encourage him with toys and treats. She even stayed longer on some days! Very happy with my experience and I would rebook Christina again in the future!! :)
This is the second time we have had Christina take care of our two cats. As before she was very conscientious about addressing everything we asked of her and very attentive to our two cats including spending a full 30 minutes each visit feeding them and playing with them. We highly recommend Christina B.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Marlboro is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $24 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 1,730 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Marlboro. 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.

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.
