Laura is great! She is reliable, trustworthy and responsive. Most importantly, she got my shy kitten to come out from under his hiding spot! I will be using her services again in the future for sure!

About: I have been petsitting for the past 3 years and during that time I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, as well as chickens, goats, birds, rabbits, ferrets, and guinea pigs... and I love them all! In addition to petsitting, I also have 3 small dogs and two parakeets of my own - there is never a dull moment! I currently attend Rutgers University- With my schedule, I can care for your pet in the mornings before class, during lunch/mid day breaks (during the week I have 2 hours between classes around lunch time, which is when I can come and care for your pet) and when I get home from classes around 5pm. I am also available during the weekends! I spend time with the pets I care for, giving them lots of love and attention, and really enjoy taking them on walks too! I am a firm believer in following instructions and will stick to your described routine, to ensure the most safety and ease for your beloved pet.

About: I’ve been surrounded my dogs ever since I was 5 years old. I can’t imagine my life without them. And since my dogs dislike dog parks I go on my own just to play with and interact other dogs as well. Regarding my experience I own and take care of 2 dogs and myself and I have taken care of my neighbor’s casts while they were gone. I’m currently home for my summer break so I am available basically everyday and all day to take care of any and all pups in need! I treat the client’s home with the utmost respect, following all security protocols to make sure the dog(s) feels secure in their own home. I keep the dog(s) on their usual walking and feeding schedule and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime. Additionally, I send daily photo and text updates so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pup is happy, safe, and well loved!

Eleanor is amazing with my cats and they both really respond to her, even my shy cat! She's also very communicative and responsive and is comfortable getting detailed instructions (both of my cats require special medicine / feeding instructions). This isn't my first time booking her for cat care and I would definitely book her again!

About: Hi! I’m Quin. I grew up with cats, dogs, a bunny, and was a member of an Alpaca 4-H club since I was in 3rd grade, I don’t know a world without animals. I genuinely love getting to know people’s pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. My current house currently boasts four cats of various ages, from kittens to an old lady, and a young Australian Shepherd mix. Because of this, I'm very comfortable with both cats, dogs, and households that have multiple pets. I've also spent a large part of my life caring for senior animals and pets who need a little extra attention. I've managed medications, special diets, frequent potty breaks, and other individualized care, including caring for a previous dog with a seizure disorder. My approach to pet care is to meet each animal where they are. I love matching their energy, whether that means a long walk and plenty of playtime, some quiet companionship, or simply giving a shy pet the time and space they need to become comfortable with me. I'm detail-oriented and happy to follow specific routines and care instructions because I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is being cared for exactly the way you would care for them. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and cat sitting. I'm happy to care for pets who need extra attention or have special routines, and I always want to make your time away as easy and worry-free as possible. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel like they have a friend looking after them while you're gone. If that sounds like the kind of pet care you need, please reach out to me! I am currently a part-time student with another job on top of Rover, so please take a look at the calendar to book with me! Pet safety is my top priority. I am familiar with dealing with cats and dogs who don't get along and make sure not just to stop dangerous scenarios but also to prevent them altogether.

I cannot speak highly enough about Lori. She took care of my feline friends while I was away and did an outstanding job. Not only did they ensure my cats were well-fed and had a clean litter box, but they also spent quality time with my fur babies, giving lots of love and attention. I returned home to a happy, content cats which speaks volumes about the care and dedication Lori provided. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring cat sitter!

Wow! My husband and I were so thankful for Rebecca! She accepted our last minute request during Thanksgiving when no other facilities would accept our 110 lb Rottweiler! She was in contact with my husband and I and sent many pictures of our dog on walks and also gave him medication and put his food out twice a day. My dog really enjoyed his time with her. She totally took the stress out of leaving our puppy at home and we enjoyed our vacation without a single worry! I would recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a caring, responsible and dependable dog sitter

Michael was so amazing with my senior orange Ray Cat. What a wonderful job giving him his medicine 2 times and day, brushing, playing and treats. I always get worried because my boy can be a handle full at times, but Michael was such a amazing person for Ray Cat. Highly recommend and I feel so safe having him as Ray's sitter. Again thank you so much!

About: Living in New Brunswick with some friends. I have cats but I'm not allowed dogs in our house. Growing up with dogs it's hard to be away from them. Taking care of someone else's pets would be a pleasure and would brighten my day. I walk to work everyday and live outside Rutgers campuses and near some beautiful parks, giving me tons of places to bring your dogs and the stamina to keep up with them on long walks.My oldest dog back home is a big pitbull, so big dogs are right up my alley, and both my dogs can get quite rowdy so I know how to handle animals when they get out of control. I'm currentky working at later in the day and at night so I'm available during the day. I ride my bike or walk to appointments so I'm looking for clients in New Brunswick and Highland Park. I enjoy going on quiet walks in places without too much hustle and bustle. If your pet gets overwhelmed in rowdy environments, you can count on me to give the a calm yet playful day.

Ashley is absolutely incredible! This is our second time using her and she’s been so good! We had an unexpected emergency happen with one of our kittens right before we left and she handled it with such ease and her caring nature with our kitties allowed us to feel comfortable enough to go away knowing the issues would be handled and our cats were in great hands! Thanks Ashley ❤️

Hiral made daily/frequent various in visits to our chihuahua mix (Rue) for 3 and a half months. If I could giver her 10 stars, I absolutely would! Hiral is incredibly punctual, professional, communicative, and flexible. Rue was 5 months old when Hiral first started and is now almost 9 months old. Rue would not be the well behaved, potty trained pup that she is without Hiral. We and Rue will miss you Hiral! Good luck with your future endeavors! Thanks again!

Berthie was phenomenal. It was my first time using Rover and I will definitely be using Berthie again. Continuously updated me with pictures and blurbs about how my dog was doing. My dog is adjusting to a new apartment and had been having accidents and Berthie not only updated me on her status, but ensured he would clean up if she had any accidents. I 100% would recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter/Walker.

Gary took such great care of my animals. I have 4 cats and 2 dogs so there’s a lot to do and remember. He took the time to get to know all of them and their routines. It makes going away much easier knowing they are being taken care of so well. I will definitely use Gary again and highly recommend him for anyone looking for pet care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in New Brunswick on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 September 2026, there are 7,396 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 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.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
