“Heather did a great job taking care of our cats. She also took good care of us, by keeping us informed and posting pictures every day 🙂. She didn't just feed them and clean up after them, she also tried to bond with them. We highly recommend Heather if you need someone to take care of your cats!”
“Melissa was amazing!! She took great care of our kitten, was super communicative, and went above and beyond! It was our first time leaving our cat and she was great at playing with her and making sure her needs were met, plus keeping us in the loop the entire way!”
“This is the second time I’ve had the pleasure of working with Natalie and I didn’t think it was possible for things to get any better, but she is absolutely amazing! Excellent communication! She takes care of my fur babies as though they were her own. Would highly recommend her!”
“Wonderful experience. She arrived as requested and provided updates and asked questions as needed during the visit. As well as pictures of our happy pups! Look forward to using her again in the future.”
“Kim has taken such excellent care of our wild maniac of a puppy! She makes sure he gets tons of love and snuggles whether we are away for the day at work or for a few days on a trip. She has also taken great care of our two cats and our house while we were away. Kim goes out of her way to do the little things like bringing in the mail daily. She is wonderful!”
About: Experienced working with a variety of animals- dogs, cats, chickens, goats, aquatic pets (turtles, frogs, fish, etc.), and reptiles. Experience as a vet assistant provides strong foundation in caring for medically complex and senior pets, comfortable administering medications. Currently care for my two pups and bearded dragon at home. I enjoy pet care as it helps to provide a purposeful break from school. Caring for animals feels like second nature with my schedule, and I’m able to seamlessly provide for your pets while maintaining my school schedule without any lapse in care. I provide a close eye on the animals that I care for, and due to my experience as a veterinary assistant I am able to recognize potential medical needs of your animal companions. I’m comfortable walking pets, supervising them in a fenced in yard, or any other method that your pet uses to go outside! While in your home, I maintain close proximity to your pets, and engage them in enriching activities during my time with them.
“Kim is literally the best. 11 out of 10 highly recommend. I have her come and let my pups out during the day and feed them lunch as I am a full time nurse who works three long days a week. My dogs LOVE Kim (which is the most important thing to me) and she absolutely goes above and beyond what I ever asked her to do. For example, my husband asked why I was leaving bagged poo outside during the week and I told him that I had not been doing that which was when I realized that Kim actually picks up after them when they poop while she is here. I never once asked her to do this but she is amazing and she does it anyway. This is just one small example of how amazing she is. She is worth her weight in gold. My husband was very skeptical of having a "stranger" come into our house (we are a military family who recently moved to the area) to let our dogs out but he now even goes on about how amazing she is and he never even met her. If you are questioning whether to go with her or not don't even put a second thought into it, this is your girl right here!”
“Jessica is the best! She is reliable, so easy to work with, and always quick to respond. And she is so great with my cat! Jessica really loves animals and makes sure they get lots of love and cuddles. I feel so lucky to have found Jessica, she is truly amazing!”
“Brigitte was amazing! I was on vacation and decided to stay away longer and my current pet sitter couldn't extend her visits. I contacted Brigitte on short notice and she stepped in and took over the care of my kitten, Sophie. She sent the cutest pictures at every visit and I could tell Sophie was enjoying their time together! Brigitte even spent extra time, sometimes hours longer than agreed on, with Sophie. I will absolutely have Brigitte take care of Sophie again!!”
“Alyssa went above and beyond for Wyatt and I today! Previous walker canceled last minute after I had already left home & she popped right in to save the day! Really appreciate the quick response & the help she provided beyond Wyatt - he was very happy when I got home, so grateful! Thanks Alyssa! We’ll see you soon 😍”
About: I am a Mechanical Engineering student with an Art minor, but my true passion has always been animals. I believe pets deserve the same love, respect, and care as people, and I take that responsibility seriously. I currently care for five of my own pets, including three dogs of different sizes, a cat, and two guinea pigs. I’ve also owned cats in the past, so I have long-term, hands-on experience with both cats and dogs across different life stages and personalities. I have frequently been responsible for their full care independently, including feeding, walking, enrichment, and monitoring health and behavior. One of my dogs has severe anxiety and a pollen allergy, which has given me experience caring for animals with special needs, including close attention to symptoms, environmental triggers, and comfort management. I’m confident in recognizing signs of illness or distress and knowing when to seek veterinary attention. I also gained hands-on experience assisting with my mother’s dog walking business, TheDogWalkerMichele, where I helped care for both dogs and cats. In addition, I have accompanied my girlfriend on multiple pet sitting and dog walking jobs, assisting with feeding, walking, playtime, and general care for dogs, cats, and kittens. I’m especially experienced with anxious or shy animals and have a calm, patient approach that helps pets build trust and feel safe. I’m also confident in basic behavior management and ensuring pets stay both safe and well-behaved during care. As an engineering student, I bring a detail-oriented and responsible mindset to pet care, making sure each animal is cared for thoughtfully, efficiently, and lovingly. During the summer, I work part-time at Rowan University’s Admissions Office for approximately 20-25 hours per week. My shifts are flexible and scheduled between 8 AM and 4 PM, which allows me to plan my pet care availability around my work schedule. I am generally available early mornings, late afternoons, evenings, and overnight stays. I am also open to house sitting during the week, as long as I am able to step out for my scheduled work shifts during the day. I will always communicate my schedule clearly in advance to ensure pets are properly cared for and never left without attention during appropriate times. Outside of my work hours, I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to walking, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and respectful environment for every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I would my own: following all instructions closely, keeping things clean and organized, and ensuring pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment. My focus is always on the pet’s well-being and routine. I make sure they are fed on schedule, given fresh water, exercised appropriately, and provided with plenty of attention, comfort, and supervision. I am attentive to behavior changes and always prioritize safety, especially for anxious pets or those with special needs. I also understand how important trust is when caring for someone’s pet and home, so I communicate clearly, follow directions carefully, and make sure everything is handled responsibly and consistently.
“Lauren provided amazing service! She was attentive, reliable, and treated my sister's cat with so much care. I felt completely at ease knowing she were in her hands. I will definitely be booking her again.”
“Krista and her daughter took wonderful care of our cats. Krista was patient with all three of our cats who have very different personalities. She was great at communicating any concerns and she took the most amazing pictures of our cats. We so appreciate the time and attention she provided our fur babies while we were away! I highly recommend Krista! She is amazing!”
“Highly recommend Monica! My cat is a sufferer of the COVID telework anxiety and she took great care of him while I was on leave. I even know my cat was a happy customer by evidence of his toys everywhere and his happy full belly. Monica was great at providing me updates with pictures and notes on his care for that visit.”
About: I adopted two cats of my own in 2019 and have also been cat sitting for over two years. It’s hard to put into words how much I love animals, but caring for them has always been a big part of my life. 🤍 I regularly feed and care for stray cats in my community, and I’ve helped three adult strays find loving forever homes. Whenever I come across a cat or dog in need, I always try to help however I can. 🐾While I'm a cat person at heart, I'm equally passionate about dogs. I gained experience walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments through dog sitting and volunteer. This experience taught me how to read canine body language, handle various behavioral needs, and provide affectionate care. I enjoy walking, cuddling, and spending quality time with dogs to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved! 🤍I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I’ll treat your fur babies just like my own and make sure they are well-fed, cared for, and given plenty of love and attention while they’re with me! :) I’m currently a student and work part-time as a registered nurse, which gives me a lot of flexibility with my schedule. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and your pet’s specific routine whenever possible. I understand that every pet has their own needs, so I’ll always do my best to work with you and your fur baby! :) I always make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable in their own environment. I follow their usual feeding, walking, litter, play, and potty routines as closely as possible, and I pay close attention to their behavior and body language. I understand that every cat and dog has a different personality, so I respect their boundaries and never force interaction, especially with shy or anxious pets. I’m also careful about keeping doors, windows, leashes, and their surroundings secure. Most importantly, I’ll give them plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I’m also happy to send photos and videos so you can see how your fur baby is doing❤️
“David was once again amazing with our very senior and very frail dog, as well as our other dog and cat. He was reliable, punctual and did exactly what he said he would do. He also was very flexible with scheduling and we’d love to hire him again.”
“We are so thankful for the all care and time Meghan spent watching over our 3 dogs! As first time Rover users we had no idea what to expect and it was also the first time leaving our puppy for an extended period of time! We loved all the detailed notes we received and Meghan really went above and beyond, as she noticed our puppy was getting a little stir crazy and took her on a walk during one of the drop ins. We felt like we could trust Meghan’s judgement in caring for our pups, thank you SO much!!!”

Always on time and consistently spent the full planned time with our three kitties, making sure they were cared for and given some quality attention. She also provided photo updates at each visit and was very communicative. Will definitely book with Sophia again!
Heather was excellent. She was kind, professional, and clearly very responsible. She followed all instructions carefully and kept me updated with pictures, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. My cat looked happy and healthy when we came back! I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.

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 3,782 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Medford Lakes. 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.

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.
