“Andrew was awesome. He took care of our 2 cats every day and on-time. He provided updates and several pictures of how our cats were doing. This really helped us enjoy our vacation without worrying too much and one of our cats is just 4 months old. He did a great job.”
“Christine was fantastic taking care of Minino while we were away! She came by daily to feed him and always sent us pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and made sure he was happy and well looked after. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a reliable, attentive cat sitter.”
“Melissa was amazing and we will definitely book her again. She was so sweet with our new pup Stella and really helped us out in a pinch when our previous dog walker couldn’t make it. She sent great photos and detailed recaps of their walks and play time every day. Communication was quick and easy. She even sent pics and interacted with our cat whom she was not looking in on. Thank you so much Melissa!!”

“Megan was a great sitter for Nyla. She was very flexible when I added additional visits and requested changes in the visits. I will definitely be scheduling her for future visits.”

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and have always been an animal lover. I’m new to Rover but not to pet care. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and giving pets lots of attention. I currently have a cat and dog of my own and will treat your pets like they’re my own! I take my college courses online, so I’m home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule.

I’m attentive, responsible, and will make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention while in my care.

Pet care is a regular part of my weekly routine and my primary focus. I structure my schedule around walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, which allows me to be flexible and dependable for my clients.

“Nicole was wonderful during her drop in with our 4 yr old Samoyed. Our pup instantly took to her and Nicole was so kind, patient with her barking, and very attentive to our routine. She is super communicative, punctual, and gave our pup all of her attention. We had peace of mind that our pup was safe and will definitely book Nicole again!”
About: Hi! I’m Leandro, originally from São Paulo, Brazil, where animals were always part of the family. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, many of them rescued from the streets, so caring for animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with so many different personalities taught me that every animal has their own way of communicating, trusting, and showing affection. Some are immediately friendly, others need patience and a little space before they feel comfortable. I’ve always loved getting to know those differences. I have 8 years of pet care experience, and what matters most to me is making sure your pet feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. I treat every animal as an individual, not just another booking. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, affectionate, or a little stubborn, I’m happy to meet them exactly where they are. I’m a writer and work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with your pets! I love having animals around while I write, whether they’re curled up next to me, keeping me company, or reminding me it’s time for a walk or a little playtime. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, overnight stays, and extended pet sitting. I can easily adapt my day to your pet’s routine, making sure they get the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they’re used to. Having grown up surrounded by dogs and cats, many of them rescued, I’ve learned that every animal has their own personality, boundaries, and way of feeling comfortable. I always take the time to get to know each pet rather than expecting them to immediately warm up to me. Some want affection right away, while others need a little patience and space, and that’s perfectly fine! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I make sure to follow their usual routines, keep their environment clean and safe, and pay attention to their behavior and needs. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can feel at ease while we’re together.
“It was a pleasure working with Mercedes! She took such good care of my anxious cat, send me lots of pictures, made my cat super comfortable (he even accepted her petting him which is rare), and helped me in my time of need. Thank you, Mercedes! I hope to work with you again 😊”
“Charlie is great! Communicative, reliable, and independent. My cat, Bentley, was so chill when I got back—I could tell he'd gotten everything he needed and plenty of attention. I already rebooked! Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a teenager, I myself have two small dogs at home, a chihuahua mix and a jack Russell terrier, your dog/cat will be well taken care of. I look forward to caring for your pets as if they are my own abiding by your rules and expectations. I’m currently working hybrid I have two days in office and 3 at home, I have two small female dogs, they are spayed and they are dogs friendly. If I’m taking care of your fur baby at my place, he or she will be good taken care of, I can walk them all times necessary and also use training pads if necessary I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if necessary, dogs are free to sleep on the bed if they are spoiled
About: I grew up on a small farm, so I’ve always been around animals. I have handled everything from emergencies to injuries and required daily care necessities. I have lived with a dog and cat all my life and I truly enjoy not only taking care of and playing with them, but getting to know them and build trust. I’ve had a dog since the second I was born, and I would love to take care of yours. I am super friendly and active, so I can sit and play or walk and run around with them, whichever your dog prefers. I have experience with pet medication, so if your pet has special needs or you have certain preferences I can certainly accommodate for that. I truly enjoy the presence of animals and would be thrilled to make sure you can travel and live your life without worrying about the little guy back home. I currently work full time but have a predictable schedule where I can leave the office before 5pm, perfect timing for letting your animals get out and about. On weekdays weekends, I am naturally active, and would enjoy sliding you fluffy friend into my existing walks. If your best friend is my responsibility, I will ensure no other plans take precedent. My apartment is relatively mid size (by NYC standards…) so while I am capable of housing pets for short periods of time it is my preference to care for pets in their own home. I love furry friends, but it is more important they love me. A proper introduction and trust building is key for a healthy and successful sitter to pet relationship. It is also important to create a safe environment by interacting with your pet and not letting them out of my sight. I believe in getting to know both you and your pet, and ensuring everyone is treated with the utmost care and safety.
“Maia is the absolute BEST!!!!! When leaving Olaf in her care for dropins, I have a sense of calm knowing she takes such great care of him. She sends daily updates, pictures and is quick to communicate anything that could be out of the ordinary. Highly recommend for anyone needing pet sitting services.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Moonachie
Rachel is the best! I typically have a family member watch my two cats while I’m away, so this was new for me to trust someone I did not know with my two little loves. Rachel went above and beyond, in every way. My Rover Card was so descriptive and included tons of pictures. She took better care of my apartment than even I do, haha! An absolute pleasure to communicate with, and so receptive to adjusting to some unexpected speed bumps. She takes her responsibility very seriously and that offered me the peace of mind that I needed while being away. Thank you again Rachel!
Alicia is amazing and very kind! She went above and beyond to make sure my cat felt comfortable and safe during her drop in visits, which involved giving my cat medication. Alicia is reliable and professional. She communicated well and updated me with photos from each visit, which I appreciated very much.
Carolina was very polite, sweet, and communicative. When she experienced a commute delay on day one, she was proactive about keeping us updated with frequent ETAs. She was very gentle and clearly cares about animals, though her play style leans more toward calm affection and casual rather than the high-intensity hunting play that our high-drive cat needs. She made a good effort and would be a wonderful match for calmer, affectionate, or senior pets looking for gentle company.
Lauryn did a great job taking care of my cats. One of my cats is usually very shy and hides whenever someone visits, but he quickly warmed up to Lauryn and even spent time hanging out with her. This same cat can also create a mess, and Lauryn went above and beyond by cleaning up. Lauryn also shared photos and detailed notes through the Rover card, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated her care and would recommend her!
Marlene was absolutely amazing, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She took such wonderful care of my two cats while we were away, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such loving hands. She followed every instruction perfectly, made sure my boys were well-fed, and, most importantly, gave them so much love, attention, and affection. She even stayed overnight one of the nights to ensure my senior cat, Mumu, received his medication on time, which meant so much to me. Caring for a pet with medical needs requires patience and dedication, and she handled everything flawlessly. It’s clear that Marlene genuinely loves animals and treats them like they’re her own. She went above and beyond, and I came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, compassionate, reliable, and attentive, Marlene is the person to call. I would trust her with my boys again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Marlene, for taking such incredible care of Mumu and Speedy!
Ritika deserves more than 5 stars. Not only was she willing and able to watch my 2 kittens on short notice, but she went above and beyond trying to get to them in the midst of a blizzard while I was out of town. The time and effort she made to ensure they were okay cannot be matched. She is incredibly kind and caring! If you are looking for a pet sitter, I implore you to hire Ritika.
Mariam is fantastic!!! I was on vacation for a week and came home to a happy, calm, and playful fur baby. My little kitty princess struggles with separation anxiety so it’s always tough when I’m gone for a few days, let alone a full week. Mariam worked her magic and my kitty did great. I highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 3,606 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Moonachie. 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.
