“Haze and Gus were well taken care of, she arrived on time or a little early every time. She made sure they were fed, the litter was cleaned, and they were played with. Would recommend her to my friends, and will definitely ask for her again if I need a sitter in the future”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I had a golden retriever who sadly passed away 10 years ago and then helped raise and train a collie mix with my parents. After moving out I adopted a dog of my own who needed a lot of behavioral training and patience. I understand what it’s like to have a more difficult pet and am here to help. would love to help care for your dogs like my own. I am unable board your pets in my own home but can pet/house sit at your house or take them on walks regularly I work full time in healthcare Monday-Friday from 8-4 but am available for evening walks. I get major holidays off and am available most weekends to care for your pup as well. I cannot board your dog in my home due to behavioral issues with my own pup however I am able to stay over and care for your pup in the comfortable of their own home. I follow all instructions and guidelines provided to care for your pets appropriately and never allow dogs off leash or to interact with other dogs for safety unless otherwise specified

About: I’ve taken care of and owned dogs of every kind and age since I was 5 years old. No dog is too big or too small! Too young or too old for me! My friends, family, coworkers and neighbors have all trusted me to care for their furbabies. I know how much mine mean to me, and I promise to treat yours as my own! I am currently working full-time as a teacher so weekdays have to be scheduled in advance after 5PM. Will gladly schedule weekend walks and drop-ins! I care for others’ fur babies as if they were my own! I am happy to accommodate whatever food, medication, or exercise needs they may have!

“I cannot express enough how amazing Irem and her husband were in taking care of my cat while I was away. Initially, my cat was very defensive, but they managed to make her feel safe and cared for. They handled numerous tasks, including administering her medicine, with perfect attention to detail. I received countless photos and videos from them, which reassured me that she was in the best hands. Their dedication and compassion were truly wonderful, and I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you again so much for the gift. Mamajay loves it!!”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I also volunteer at St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center, where I socialize with dogs and cats, take dogs on walks, play with them, and help with their overall care. I’m comfortable feeding pets, providing fresh water, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I’m an active person, so longer walks and hikes are always a pleasure, especially for energetic dogs! I’m also happy to handle the less glamorous parts of pet care. If your pet has an accident inside the house, I have no problem cleaning it up and making sure everything is left clean and comfortable. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with patience, care, and lots of attention while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for morning, midday, afternoon, and evening visits, depending on the day and your pet’s needs. On weekends, I’m available throughout the day and can easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and longer visits. Safety is always my priority. I prefer to keep dogs on a leash during walks and make sure they’re secure and comfortable at all times. Depending on your preferences and your dog’s routine, I can supervise them in the backyard, take them for walks around the neighborhood, or bring them to a dog park for some exercise and playtime. I’ll always follow your instructions and make sure your dog gets the type of activity they’re used to.

About: Vet tech experience combined with hands-on daycare and grooming work means your pet is in knowledgeable, capable hands. I also have experience working with horses, which has strengthened my confidence & awareness when handling animals. I'm currently working toward a career in dog training and have cared for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs through both professional experience and years of pet sitting. I currently work part-time on Tuesdays & Thursdays (9 AM-3:30 PM), with occasional Fridays until 2:30 PM. I'm available for... - Drop-ins: Mon, Wed, Fri (when not scheduled), & weekends - Dog Walking: Weekdays, after 3:30 PM on Tues & Thur, & weekends. - House sitting (overnight): Weekends I am flexible and happy to accommodate schedules when possible! I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I follow all care instructions closely and pay attention to each pet's individual needs, behavior, and routine. I also have experience bathing dogs and can provide baths if needed, as long as the pet is not stressed, and it can be done safely. I prefer to do a quick meet-and-greet beforehand to ask/answer any questions and to ensure your pet feels comfortable with me prior.

About: I have been the proud owner of my beloved dog for the past 12 years. After years of hoping for a dog, my parents finally agreed, and it's been an incredibly rewarding experience ever since. I thoroughly enjoy taking her on walks and engaging in playtime. Throughout high school, I began dog sitting, providing both daily and overnight care. I have experience working with dogs with anxiety, dietary restrictions, and specific behavioral concerns, such as fear of men. Additionally, I'm skilled in preparing homemade meals to cater to their individual needs. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I cook homemade meals for my dog both in the morning and evening, making sure she gets the nutrition she needs. I also take her on walks and play with her using her favorite toys, keeping her active and engaged. On top of caring for my own dog, l also dog-sit for other families, which adds to my weekly schedule. It's a fulfilling way to blend my love for animals with helping out others! When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I prioritize their pets' routines and comfort. I ensure that each pet's dietary needs are met, following any specific instructions for meals and feeding schedules. I provide plenty of playtime, exercise, and attention to help them feel secure and happy, whether it's through walks, interactive play, or simply spending time with them. I make sure to follow any behavioral cues, respecting their space and boundaries, especially for pets with anxiety or specific preferences. I also keep the environment clean, ensuring their living spaces remain tidy and safe. Regular updates and communication with the client are key, so they're always informed and reassured that their pets are well taken care of.

Mount Arlington, NJ, 07856

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 14 years through fostering, pet sitting, dog walking, and volunteering with animal shelters. I’ve spent more than 10 years volunteering with shelters and also have experience helping train service animals, which has taught me so much about patience, consistency, animal behavior, and adapting to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies who need extra attention, exercise, and structure to senior pets who prefer a slower pace and a little extra patience and TLC. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet. I truly treat every animal as if they were my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, enrichment, and companionship while they’re with me. And because I know how much we all miss our pets when we’re away, you can expect plenty of photo updates so you can see what your best friend is up to! ❤️ I have a full-time job with flexible hours, which allows me to fit pet care into my schedule consistently. I’m most available on evenings and weekends, and I always make sure I have plenty of time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and care they need. I live in a house with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable and settle in. I’m very mindful about safety, routines, feeding instructions, and each pet’s individual needs. I also have a friendly 6-year-old cat who is comfortable around other animals. I’m happy to use a crate if that is part of your dog’s normal routine, and I always do my best to keep pets feeling safe, relaxed, and at home.

About: I am a reliable and honest worker. I absolutely love all kinds of animals. I will be there for you, as well as your pet. What sets me apart from others is that I have no preferences! I love all dogs and cats - big, small, young, or old. I don’t mind going out on walks or potty runs. I love to get the exercise! I also don’t mind if you need me to stay the night. If you’re on vacation and need me to be at the house multiple times per day I can even do that. Whatever you need I’ll be sure to provide it. I have a flexible schedule which will be convenient for this job. I am so excited for this opportunity, thanks :) Best, Jaden I work fully remotely and have a very flexible schedule, which makes pet care easy to incorporate into my daily routine. I’m able to take breaks throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feedings, and check-ins, while still keeping up with my work. This flexibility also allows me to accommodate overnight stays or multiple visits when needed. I’m happy to provide care in your home, where your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m also very flexible with travel and have my own car, so I can easily commute to you for drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays. While I’m not able to offer regular boarding at my apartment, I’m happy to work with you to find the setup that’s most comfortable and convenient for your pet!

About: As a veterinary technician and proud dog mom of two Cavaliers, I understand how important it is to find someone reliable for your pets. With years of hands-on experience and a genuine love for animals, I make sure each dog or cat feels safe, happy, and cared for—just like they do at home When I’m not at the veterinary clinic, I love spending my extra time caring for pets in my community. With flexible availability during the week and weekends, I’m here to make sure your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure every walk is secure, every visit is calm, and every animal feels loved and cared for. With experience in a veterinary clinic and as a dog mom myself, I know how to create a safe and happy environment for every pet I meet.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Mountain Lakes

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 11,669 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Mountain 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 .

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mountain Lakes. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 , 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.
