“Chloe is a rare find. She is incredibly thorough and buttoned up- beyond organized with a binder of notes and questions upon meeting you and your pet. She’s exceptionally responsive to check in requests and always goes above and beyond. I came home last night to my mail brought in and she even brought our recycle bin up from the curb. I highly recommend her! So does Oliver ;)”

About: In both my home country of Argentina as well as in the US, I've taken care of small dogs and cats for several friends and families (as well as my own) for the last 15 years. I recently resigned from my regular job to spend more time with my family, and am ready to go back to do something I LOVE...care for cats and dogs :) I have 3 indoor cats who roam around my house, Pulgita, Simon and Patricio. Pulgita is the newcomer, less than 2 years old. Simon and Patricio are old timers, both 14 years old. I have a spacious house for them to roam around and play.

Pet care fits right into my routine — weekday evenings are best for walks and play, weekends for long hikes, adventures, and plenty of love.

About: Hi! I'm Jordan, a professional women's soccer player! While soccer keeps me busy, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by pets and currently have two dogs back home—a German Shorthaired Pointer named Grace and a Yellow Lab named Earl—as well as my 15-year-old black cat, Pigpen. Being away from them during the season has only made me appreciate how important it is to know they're in good hands, and that's exactly the kind of care I want to provide for your pets. I've spent years dog sitting, cat sitting, providing dog walks, and giving cats the attention and enrichment they need while their families are away. I also volunteer with local animal shelters and have training in cat enrichment, so I'm comfortable working with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company and stick to their routine, I'm happy to meet them where they're at. I know every pet is different, and I treat every animal I care for like they're my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind that they're in good hands! As a professional soccer player, having structure and consistency is a big part of my daily life. My training schedule is planned well in advance, which allows me to dedicate focused time to the pets I care for. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I make sure each pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I know how important it is for pets to stay comfortable in their own environment, so I do everything I can to keep their routine as normal as possible. I'll follow your instructions carefully, whether that's feeding schedules, medications, favorite walking routes, playtime, or bedtime routines. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. For dogs, every walk is tailored to their age, energy level, and personality. Some dogs enjoy a long, active walk with plenty of opportunities to explore, while others are happiest with a slower pace and extra sniffing time. Safety is always my top priority, and I'll make sure your dog gets both the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need. For cats, I understand that every personality is different. Some cats love interactive play and attention, while others prefer a calm presence and a familiar routine. With my background in feline enrichment, I enjoy providing activities that keep cats engaged while always respecting their comfort level. I'll also treat your home with the same care and respect that I would my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets—and your home—are in good hands.

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: I have been caring for pets for my whole life. Not only have I cared for my own dog, I have also been trusted with my friends, families, and neighbors pets. I will value your pets safety, and comfort in all situations. I’m a college student, so I have plenty of free time throughout the week to care for your pets! My schedule is pretty flexible, especially in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I’ll always make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I’ll follow whatever routine you normally have for them and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away.

“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!”

Xiomara spent real quality time with our cats and kept us updated through the week. She was also super accommodating and flexible when we had issues and delays on our return flight home which was a huge relief. Will definitely boom again.

Last-minute trip and poor planning on our part, but Victoria came through for us. She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of our kitties while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!

Katie checked in on my cat once a day and sent messages and Rover cards a the end of each check in. She cleaned bowls and litter each day and stayed with my kitty feeding her in small increments for a half hour each day I was away. She kept my place clean and played music for my cat to keep her as calm as she could. My kitty was nervous and scared but Katie managed to make her feel cozy by the then of each visit. Next time I’m away I will hope to book Katie again and I highly recommend her!

Sheila took wonderful care of our cats for a little over two weeks, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She is incredibly meticulous, genuinely loves animals, and went above and beyond what was required to make sure our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She also kept an eye on our home and alerted us to a water leak in time, which we truly appreciated. We felt completely at ease knowing both our cats and our home were in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommended.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - New Providence

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in New Providence is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $36 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 12,289 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across New Providence. 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 Providence. 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.
