Top rated Newark cat sitters

“Jess was very friendly and willing to help with my sweet but anxious boys. They gave her a difficult time with administering their medications and unfortunately she wasn’t able to complete this task. She communicated very well with me through her visit. I would recommend her service otherwise.”


“Krystal was great with my cat. My cat doesn’t like most people but took a liking to Krystal. She came twice a day to check on her and took care of her needs. I’ll definitely be calling her next time I need someone.”


“Islay won over our cats and they asked us to take more vacations so she can come over to care for them! 😂 Islay sends little notes to let me know what both cats are doing and pictures to show that they are eating (it’s kind of a given cuz they are food motivated but I appreciate seeing that they are relaxed in her presence). She even does the little quirky game we do with one cat with his snacks to just get him moving a little more. We can enjoy our time away knowing that our cats are so well cared for. Thank you, Islay!!”



“She did a great job with daily visiting our two cats for feeding, treats, and affection. Great communication and pictures. Very easy to work with. Will definitely hire again.”


“Olivia was very prompt and her daily updates were so appreciated! She went looking for my cat in her hiding places and sent pictures. Overall, I'm very happy with her service!”


“I'm so happy to have found Andrea! Our cat has to have an inhaler given to her once a day, and Andrea took the challenge! From the report that Andrea gave, and the photos she sent me, I could tell that our cat was well taken care of and very comfortable with Andrea. I think they will be good buddies! Thanks Andrea!”



“Adriana was awesome - she took great care of our pets and provided prompt updates with photos. She obviously loves animals and takes great care of them. I would highly recommend her to everyone!”



“Jolynn was available for us on short notice and followed all of the instructions we gave her for our two needy cats, we got photo updates for every drop-in and even our skittish cat warmed up to her. Highly recommend and will keep her in mind if we ever need a cat sitter in the future.”


“Sam did an amazing job caring for my 2 kittens. You can just tell she is an animal lover and will go above and beyond. Sam followed our care and feeding instructions to the letter and shared lots of photos and updates. I highly recommend her!”


“Anna did a phenomenal job with our two cats. Since getting them we have never been away for more than a day or two and we were worried about finding a sitter while we went on a cruise. Anna came over for a meet and greet and to understand what our cats would need while we were gone. This was our first time using rover and she was able to answer our questions, understand our needs, and go above and beyond. We got tons of updates and photos and our cats definitely loved her visits! It was nice being able to trust the cats were taken care of while we were away. I highly recommend Anna for anyone looking for a great sitter and lots of fun updates!”


About: Hi! I'm a passionate animal lover with 2 years of experience caring for dogs and a deep commitment to their happiness and well-being. I’m in the process of learning dog training, which allows me to better understand and connect with your furry babies. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or simply spending quality time with your pup, I treat every dog as if they were my own—offering love, kindness, and plenty of pet hugs. I can’t wait to meet your dog and help them feel happy and loved while you’re away! Caring for animals is a natural part of my day. When I get home from work, the first thing I do is feed my two cats and spend time with them, ensuring they feel loved and cared for. Soon, pet care will become an even bigger part of my daily life as I begin training animals as part of my schooling. This growing commitment reflects my passion for animals and my dedication to their well-being. Whether it’s feeding, playing, or simply being there for them, caring for pets is something I truly enjoy and prioritize every day. When I visit or pet sit in your home, your furry baby will be cared for as if they were my own. I’ll make sure they’re fed on time, given plenty of attention, and kept comfortable in their familiar environment. We’ll enjoy playtime tailored to their personality, whether it’s a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or simply cuddling and keeping them company. For walks, I’ll ensure they get the exercise and fresh air they need while keeping their safety a top priority. My goal is to create a loving and stress-free experience for your pet while you’re away!

“I appreciate Brittany checking on Luca and Zoe while I was out of town. Brittany was great at communicating with me about her visits and how the kittens were doing. I will definitely hire her again.”

About: I am a 30 year old that has been living with and owning dogs since birth. I've owned and cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds and have absolutely loved every one of them. I am currently a dog mom to a black coated retriever who is 6 as well as a pit mix who is 5 and they are both great with other dogs! I love getting on the ground and playing with pups and treat any dog as if they're my own. I have a spacious home that my husband and I live in with plenty of room to play. I also live in a great community that provides plenty of opportunity for walks and socializing. Dogs are my biggest joy in life and I will treat your pet like I treat my own! I currently work day time hours which is why I only board one the weekends! Your pet deserves all the time and attention and with me, they will get it. Safety is my number one priority! When I have other watch my dogs I’m always thinking “are they safe?” In the back of my mind. With me, that won’t even be a question! You’re dog will be constantly monitored in and outside of the home, with constant updates on their stay!

About: I’ve had pets since I was born. I grew up w/ Horace a lab mix. We were babies together. I’ve also had cats since birth. I love cats & dogs & can’t imagine my life without them. I have some experience w/ rats, fish & reptiles. I am a personal trainer & yoga teacher. I make my own schedule. I can do mornings, afternoons & some evenings. I am flexible to care for your pet! I am able to care for your pet in your home or yard. I can take care of feeding, pottying, playing, & walking. I do not have a fenced in yard. My dog & cats do not like to share their space.

About: Being an empath, I care deeply for all animals. I’m patient and gentle for pets of all ages. I understand the need for slow introductions, maintaining a calm and peaceful tone, and following a pets routine. I can provide drop-in visits 🏠, walks 🦮, feedings 🥣, brushing 🐾, and genuine attention and playtime 🦴. I recently started graduate school to obtain my Master’s of Business Administration degree. The program is fully online, allowing me to work on my classes at my own pace. This leaves me with full availability and flexibility to care for your pets. Due to my cat needing to be in an ‘only-pet’ home, I currently cannot have pets in my home, but I am more than willing to care for them in my clients home. They will always be safe with me.
