“Our dog Cosmo loves Elena. She is so sweet to text me everyday and let me how he did. Since he is a puppy, she is working with him on playing fetch and fun things to burn off energy!”
“Riann genuinely seems to love animals! She quickly picked up on each of my kittens’ personalities and even went out of her way to block off some small wires in our garage that they had been playing with—something I hadn’t even noticed. She was cheerful, dependable, and clearly attentive to their safety and well-being. I’d use her again without hesitation!”
“I’ve had Jessica do drop-ins for my kitties several times. She takes extreme care, sends me pics, turns on my tv for them and makes sure everything is turned off and secure when she leaves. Highly recommend.”
About: Hi! 🤗 thanks for checking me out! I have a ton of experience with animals! I have experience in animal hospitals and doggy daycares alike 😃 Taking care of animals is where my heart is. I’ve always had multiple animals at a time. CPR and trauma experienced. I’m available all the time currently! Which means longer walks, play in the yard, or cuddles! I walk dogs full time so don’t be shy! I can’t watch anyone in my apartment, but I can come to your home or take them out and about! My attitude changes with each animal as I learn them. Most dogs I’m pretty playful with and have a lot of high energy play, some like to just sit next to a warm body on the couch and I can do that too.
“Victoria always showed up on time and ready to engage my dog! She sent reports, called out anything unusual, and practiced tricks with him. I can tell my dog had a great time!”
“Sam was amazing!! I cannot rate highly enough. We were out of the state and the updates/photos each day were the piece of mind we needed. Jackson was so loved and cared for, we can’t recommend enough! We will definitely be using Sam for any future dog sitting needs!”
About: I love working with all types of animals and becoming their best friend. I would love to meet your best friend! I am a very clean person and respectable to your home. I work full time as a Business Development Manager. I am pretty open on the weekends for all day and night care and on Mondays! I will always respect your rules. Please let me know what I can do to make it as familiar to your pet as much as possible!
“We think Ainsley did amazing. First she was able to watch our dog (Fidelis) at such short notice. Second she did everything we asked. And most importantly cared for and loved our dog like a family member. Great job Ainsley! Hope to be able to have you again for next time. Thank you. My wife really appreciate all that you have done.”
“Sarah was amazing with our pup! He loves her so much and she made sure he had no accidents the whole visit. She was so great about keeping us updated on how he was doing and sending photos to keep us posted! We would totally recommend her to anyone looking for a sweet and knowledgeable pet sitter. ☺️”
“Brittany is wonderful! Rio love to spend time with her. She is very thoughtful and spend Rio’s energy before put him back on his crate. Brittany keeps me updated with everything going on, schedule and activities. I am very thankful to have her taking care of my boy once a week.”
“Shirley was available at the very last minute to let our dogs out when an unforseen situation kept us away from home for a few hours longer than expected. Our babies just love her! Thanks Shirley!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life and I have recently found a deep love for cats. I have 2 large English mastiffs and have taken care of dogs of all sizes! I work full time as a group home manager so I have so many years of caring for humans. I have plenty of free time to stop in and take care of your babies! I will care for your pets as if they were my own. On your routine and follow directions step by step for what your fur baby needs!
“Kati was awesome! It was our first time booking with Rover and she put our mind at ease right away with our first meet and greet. I would definifley book her again. Our dog absolutely loved her! She took great care of him. She was great at communicating and was very responsive. She did everything we asked and gave our dog lots of love while we were gone. So happy to find such a great pet sitter! :)”
“This was our first experience with a Rover drop-in sitter for our senior cat and Kyla put us at ease! She sent lots of photos with each visit and even a couple videos. Hendrix was a happy cat when we got home and Kyla took care to lock up and even grab the mail and a package for us. We look forward to utilizing her services again!”
“Olivia has been great with my pup! She comes 2-3x every week for drop in visits and walks. She goes above and beyond and sends me picture updates and always makes sure my doggo is happy and taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Angeles was awesome! She responded promptly and was able to accept the job on such short notice. She was a lifesaver. The girls took to her right away and everything went great during her time here. Received lots of photos. I will certainly use Angeles again and will refer her to family & friends. Thank again 🐶❤️”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Newark on Rover is $15.54 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 784 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Newark. 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 Newark. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
