Cat Sitting in Newark

“She did a great job with Phoenix! He can be nervous around new people, so it meant a lot that he was comfortable and happy when I got home. Already booked again!”

“Julia was great with my cat Paddy when she watched him for me. It gave me a lot of peace of mind he was so well cared for when I was out of town.”

About: My personal experience has consisted of hands-on settings caring for dogs through pet sitting, volunteering at an animal shelter, and helping raise and train my own dog from puppyhood. At the shelter, I regularly cared for and walked both dogs and cats, gaining knowledge and experience with a variety of temperaments and energy levels. I’ve also sat alongside a professional trainer with my own dog, watching taught me how to set appropriate boundaries, understand behavior, and use patience and consistency. In addition to basic training, I’ve taught fun commands like “roll over” and “paw.” Overall, I’m confident handling dogs with different personalities and needs. I prioritize being both patient and attentive while maintaining structure and safety. Your pet will be treated like family! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give your pet lots of attention, exercise, and care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure each pet feels comfortable and loved. I’ll also send regular updates so you never feel out of the loop. I love all animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I always make sure they are always in a safe, supervised, and stress free environment. I pay close attention to them, follow any instructions you may provide, and keep walks and visits secure while aLeo enjoyable. I also believe communication is key, so I’ll always keep you updated while you’re away.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs and cats, and now having two rescue dogs of my own, I just can't imagine life without them. I haven't used Rover before, but I've spent years watching friends' dogs and cats whenever they needed someone they could trust. I've raised puppies, cared for kittens, and even handled medications when needed, so I'm no stranger to what animals need to feel safe and loved. I come to your home so your babies can stay in their own space, in their own routine. Every animal is different and I take the time to get to know them. Big or small, they all get the same gentle, attentive care. I just genuinely love animals, and that's something you'll see the moment I meet your pet. I'm always happy to set up a meet-up before booking so we can connect, your pet can get comfortable with me, and we can make sure it feels like the right fit for everyone I recently graduated from Arcadia University with my Master's in Physician Assistant Studies. While I study for my boards and prepare to move back home to Washington, I have time on my hands and want to spend it doing something I truly enjoy. Right now my days are completely open, which means your dog gets my full attention. No rushing off, no squeezing them in between a busy schedule. I'm there as long as they need me. As the mom of two very needy rescue dogs, I completely understand wanting your babies to have someone around as much as possible, and right now, I'm in a position to give exactly that! Since I will be in your home, my first priority is to respect whatever routine and rules you have in place for your pet. I am happy to provide as much or as little entertainment, snuggles, or space as your fur baby needs. When it comes to walks, I'm no stranger to dogs that pull on the leash or get reactive around other dogs. I've handled strong, reactive animals before and I feel confident and calm managing them.

“Grace was an excellent choice!! This was my first Rover experience & I was very impressed. She was flexible (we needed to extend the booking) & willing to do whatever it took. I have one shy cat who refused to come upstairs for meals, so she walked his food down to the basement. Her write-ups were super thorough & she took lots of pix. She really cared about both my beasts. I'm booking her again in October.”

“Jenni was WONDERFUL! On her second visit she asked if she could bring her dog for a playdate with her boyfriend and she sent photos and videos of happy, tail wagging pups playing ball together! I'm going to hire Jenni to come more regularly, hopefully with her pup! I will definitely use her for boarding because now my guy will be right at home with them all!”

Gretchen K.

“Erikah was great and super accommodating! She was very professional and our pets loved her! Will definitely book with her again!”

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for as long as I can remember—starting from age six, I grew up surrounded by pets and can’t imagine life without them. I currently have three cats and one dog of my own, so daily pet care is already a natural part of my routine. Over the years, I’ve learned to understand animals’ different personalities, needs, and signals. I’m patient, loving, and attentive, and I treat every pet like family. I’m also comfortable with bathing and grooming, including giving basic haircuts for dogs. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy senior, or a curious kitty, I always adapt my care to make each pet feel safe, happy, and loved. With my flexible work schedule and my husband working from home full-time, your pet will never feel alone. One of us is always around to provide consistent care, attention, and supervision throughout the day. Whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or just quiet companionship, we’re here to make your pet feel safe, loved, and part of the family—even on weekends. This constant presence allows us to closely follow their routines and quickly respond to any needs that come up. In my pet-friendly home, safety and comfort come first. I provide a calm, clean space with plenty of playtime and supervision. My own dog is friendly and well-socialized, happy to keep your pup company. I’m located near beautiful state parks and reservoirs—perfect for peaceful, enriching walks in nature. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your pet’s routine closely and offer lots of love, attention, and care as if they were my own.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for other families, and my own, since I was 14 years old! I have experience with young and old dogs of all sizes. I am a college student, and fairly active in the community, so always happy to make connections. I am down for whatever you and your dog need! I’m a student at the University of Delaware, so I have limited availability during the work day, but have at least one day of the weekends free and am available before or after classes! I care about making sure you’re at ease when you leave your pet in my care! It can be hard to leave behind a dog even for a short amount of time, and I want to assure that your experience, and your dog’s, are great! I have treats if necessary, am comfortable and experienced with dogs, and will use the commands that you prefer!

“Macy did AMAZING with our pup!! Super sweet and kind! She sent us lots of photos and updates. Even sat outside with her while it was pouring rain, and brought in her food package for us when we weren’t home! We will definitely be using her again!”

Alexxis A.

“Julia was absolutely amazing! She was right on time, very flexible, super sweet, and treated my puppy, Fern, like her own! She and Fern became fast friends, and Fern was very sad to see Julia go. I’ll be booking with Julia again, no question about that!”

About: I have helped care for my family’s dogs and cats since I was a little girl, and my love of animals has grown deeper into my adulthood. I have experience training puppies basic obedience commands, and I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. I am excited for the opportunity to care for your family’s pets! I am a full-time special education teacher, so I am available and ready to play with and assist your pets in the evenings on weekdays and any time on weekends. You can count on me to create a caring, positive environment for your pet. I am comfortable and willing to provide your pet with food and water, exercise/walking, cuddles, playtime, and more! I am happy to fulfill all of your requests when it comes to caring for your pet.

“Adriene was AMAZING with our two dogs, Chole and Luna! She gave them such love and attention. She communicated with us while we were away. This made us feel so comfortable. We knew they girls were being well cared for. We highly recommed Adriene!”

About: Animals are Gods among us. I agree with Ricky Gervais, that "a dog loves you more than it loves itself, and that's why I worship dogs." Honestly, this gig is a bit selfish - my sweet baby Pit Mix passed away recently & I miss her terribly. I'm certain that engaging with animals will soothe this depression. I am socially awkward with humans, but I love animals. This will be therapy, a true gift, to me. I also need to exercise more and would like to be able to afford any kind of home, some day. My family has had pets since I was in kindergarten. I volunteered with Faithful Friends in High School, through which I also fostered kittens. I have taken care of my neighbors' & friends' pets while away over the years, which I equate to a collective total of ~2 years. I take medical issues very seriously & cared for my doll when she was ill. I understand how stressful & important it is. My favorite thing about walking a dog is when the folded tops of their ears bounce up and down. I work full time until ~4:30PM, but I am usually free after. I am available for boarding on the weekends. On the days I work from home (typically Monday & Wednesday), I can also provide a walk or check in during my lunch hour (1 to 2PM). There are no other animals or children in my home; your pet will have my undivided attention. I have a large partially fenced in yard, and many walking trails nearby. I'm also happy to take care of a pet in your home, if preferred.

“Abby did great taking care if our boys! I didn't receive very many in-the-moment updates/pictures which was outside of what Im used to, but she spent significant time we'll outside of the 30 minute expected window taking being present and caring for our cats. I felt safe knowing they were in good hands - no complaints.”

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends’ dogs throughout the past few years. I provided whatever they needed whether that was feeding, walking, or playing. I’m currently working a part time restaurant job that never ends later than 10:30 pm. So I will have plenty of time to take care of pets overnight and during the day. I provide reliable, attentive care in my client’s homes by following routines, offering playtime and affection, administering medications as needed, and keeping owners updated regularly.

About: I’ve grown up in a home with dogs, and worked briefly in an animal shelter, caring for dogs from newborn puppies to seniors, responsible for their daily care and enrichment. My job ends at 3:30pm, allowing me flexibility in afternoons and evenings, while being totally free on weekends to tend to any dog or cat. As the seasons change, so do my hours, allowing me more availability for bookings. I have knowledge on animal enrichment and training, and know how to handle different pets with all different temperaments. I know how to crate dogs, walk them, and bond with all sorts of dogs and cats.

About: I have taken care of neighbors’ and grandparents’ dogs as well as my own. I love dogs more than most people and would do anything to protect them and keep them happy. As a college student away from my fur babies at home, this fits perfectly into my schedule. I have a lot of time on my hands until I start grad school this summer! I will just be taking the fur babies for walks as I am in an apartment that unfortunately does not allow pups. I will use safe paths or neighborhoods as well as any parks or fields that allow us!

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for senior dogs and pets that need a little extra patience, attention, or understanding. I’ve participated in shelter skip days at the SPCA, and I’m almost always drawn to the older dogs. That’s just where my heart is. I genuinely enjoy taking things at their pace, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also a huge cat person. Whether your cat is social and playful or more reserved and independent, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel relaxed while you’re away. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets, and I try to be the kind of sitter I’d want for my own animals, responsive, dependable, calm, and genuinely caring. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, medication routines, companionship, or just giving your pet some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. Pet care is the perfect fit for my current life schedule. I took early retirement from my day job just so I could provide pet services. It’s way less stressful and more rewarding. I can provide overnight care for a dog in my home as well as provide drip in visits and walks. I can do extended drip in visits for cats so they have a chance to get to know me.

About: I grew up taking care of animals small and large and different species! I’m also a certified animal groomer and i am a huge animal lover! i have a very flexible schedule and will always make time to see any animals! Even tho i have my own pets I have coverage for overnights! I always like to send photos or videos of the pets i’m taking care of so their mom or dad feels more comfortable seeing that their pup is having a great time!
