“Kelly updated me almost daily of activities and sent pictures. Cats are young and Zeus was shy the first week but eventually came out. We were all back to normal routine next day. Kelly followed all our requests for feeding,etc. Only complaint with Cat in a Flat was that I could not contact anyone during scheduling and negotiating rate.”

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs all my life, big and small, so I’ve had experience feeding, cleaning up after, and taking care of animals for a while. I began with taking care of dogs around my neighborhood, and eventually got a job at an overnight dog daycare. The job gave me more experience in taking care of and interacting with dogs, as well as feeding, grooming, and reading the body languages of dogs whether they were independent or in a group setting. I also used to volunteer on a farm, so I have experience with other species of animals as well! I am currently a student at Rutgers University with a class schedule. My availability is as follows, MONDAY- 12pm to 3 or 6pm- all night TUESDAY- 12pm- all night WEDNESDAY- 7 am- 3pm or 6pm- all night THURSDAY- 2 pm- all night FRIDAY- 12pm- all night SATURDAY AND SUNDAY- anytime I’m always very adamant of respecting the boundaries of animals, and I’m good at reading their body language. I try to create a calming and stress free environment, making sure I introduce myself and establish a comfortable relationship with them. I understand that being away from family can be stressful for pets, so I try to make them as happy and relaxed as possible and treat them as if they were my own.

“I had a lot of anxiety leaving my two senior kitties while I went on a trip for two weeks but Quin was very quick to respond to any concerns and sent no less than 3 pictures per visit! She was kind, responsible, and thorough with their complicated routines and honored any small request and answered any question I had about them. Quin is amazing and I will be booking again! :)”

About: I have a dog of my own and I know how difficult it can be to find someone that you trust to care for your fur baby. I have experience taking care of dogs in labor, puppies minutes old all the way up to senior pets. I have cared for my friends and family’s pets over the past years. From doing drop ins for cats just to feed and play with them to taking their dogs out for a potty break or long walk, or stay in their homes for an extended period of time, I truly enjoy caring for and providing company for animals while their owners are away. I truly enjoy the companionship that pets provide and I know what a relief it can be as a pet owner to know your fur baby is in good hands I prioritize my dog’s daily routine by scheduling walks, playtime, and off leash time in the dog run. I will usually walk my dog Sonny 3-4 times a day and usually with the dog I am watching, so please specify if you prefer your dog be walked alone! I pride myself in ensuring your pet will remain safe and healthy in my care. I always pay close attention when animals are eating, playing with toys, walking on the leash and climbing up and down the stairs, My home is a pet friendly home so your furry friends are welcome on the furniture and every area of the house.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of different sizes for a few years now. I love animals and since I have none of my own; I thought pet sitting would be the best opportunity for me to meet people, their families and their pets 😄 I am currently working part time now, so I have lots of time to care for and play with your cats & dogs! I love animals and since I have no pets of my own; this is the best opportunity to show my love for them!! I will definitely make sure your pet(s) is cared for with fresh food and water; also treats ( by owner direction. ) I will also make sure that the environment is safe during my visit, and will definitely reach out if I see anything questionable! I will also provide playtime with your pet(s).

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong passion for animals. I’ve cared for birds, dogs, and currently have two cats. I truly love having pets in my life and always provide attentive, compassionate care. Whether it’s a playful pup, a curious bird, or a shy cat, I treat every animal with patience and respect, making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I currently am a pilot with my commercial license, and I’m studying and getting ready for my next license. I occasionally do DoorDash, but aside from that you could find me at home hitting the books, cuddling with my cats, and occasionally going on one to two hour flights to practice my skills. This job is perfect for me because I love animals, I have the time to care for them, which includes making frequent visits, overnight care, and whatever else is needed. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable space filled with love and attention. I keep their routines consistent, including feeding, playtime, and rest. With two cats of my own, I’m experienced in creating a calm environment and managing litter boxes thoroughly. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely to maintain the pet’s usual routine and comfort. I make sure to give plenty of affection and engagement, keep the space clean, and communicate regularly with the owner to share updates and any observations. I’m super playful and active with my cats—I love keeping them engaged with toys and games. I also enjoy going on walks myself, and if my cats didn’t hate going on walks, they’d be my perfect walking buddies! While I can’t take my cats on strolls, I’m all about making sure your pets get the right amount of exercise and fun, whether it’s playtime at home or walks outside. I also love teaching pets new tricks and spoiling them with toys and treats—because every pet deserves a little extra fun and love.

“I was impressed with Kim! From day one, the cats bonded with her, which is unusual, especially when meeting someone new. She went above and beyond doing what was asked, including crushing pills, giving them attention if they wanted it and opening the door so they could get some fresh air and sun through the screen. By the third day they were following her around the house. She's light on her feet and very patient with them. To add perspective, when my adult children come home, the cats hide, even though two of the cats grew up with the kids. Before the week was over, I had already booked her for several other times this summer!”

FAQs for Cat Sitting - New Brunswick

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in New Brunswick is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $3 and $28 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 October 2026, there are 7,446 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across New Brunswick. 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 New Brunswick. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% 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.
