Hailly was wonderful! Respectful of our requests, detailed, timely, and sent pictures and updates every day. Was very mindful of our cat’s moods and picked up on the fact that he was a little nervous at first, but you could see he quickly started becoming comfortable each visit through the pictures. We would certainly choose her again. Thank you, Hailly! :)

Brittany was a great help when we needed some flexible drop in visits for our dogs. She worked around our schedule, communicated clearly, sent pictures and even cleaned up the yard. Very friendly and reliable. We will definitely use Brittany in the future.

We decided to do a last minute adventure which dogs could not join in and Meghan was available and made our adventure worry free. She gave the dogs walks, treats and spent time with them and then gave us an update and pictures on how they did. We would use her again.

Joni was great. I was nervous leaving my cats home. They dont do well being on their own for extended periods. Joni played with them and cuddled with them. She also had no problem, on short notice, feeding them the last day as my neighbor could not. The cats are happy and so am I.

Sharon was punctual, friendly, professional and had excellent communication. Our older dog's medicinal routine can be confusing and she did great. We came home to happy pups and a spotless house. We will definitely be booking Sharon again.

Riley puts me at ease when I have to leave Spade (my 14 yr old Bombay male cat). She keeps me updated with photos and a narrative of what took place. She goes beyond and even cleans any mess he’s created. She is always punctual and attentive to his needs. I will recommend her with a glowing review and hope to book her on my next trip out of town. The best!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of various kinds since I was 10. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets. Currently I work on a 10 month contract. Therefore I have summer off so I have plenty of time to provide pet care to those in need of such services. I am a very trustworthy person who has tremendous respect for other people’s property and belongings. I especially respect pets with their needs and desires.

About: I’ve spent my whole life around large dogs and currently share my home with a 4-year-old German Shepherd who I raised and trained on my own since he was just 6 weeks old. I’ve developed an understanding of strong, energetic, and intelligent breeds over the years. Whether it’s a shy pup or a high-energy dog, I believe in patient, positive care and making sure every walk, visit, or play session is a happy one. You can trust that your dog will be treated like family in my care—because that’s how I’d want mine treated too! I work full time as a nurse, but typically have 3-4 days off each week that I love to spend outside or with animals to fill my happiness quota! I do not have a fenced in yard at my home, but am used to leashed walks with my 4 year old German shepherd. I have experience with crate training and medication administration.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and even bunnies! I’ve taken care of young animals and senior pets. From calm to rowdy and energetic, I’m always here for the experience! I love animals of all kind, and I am excited to take care of your pets next! I’m pretty much available whenever I’m needed. I’m currently only working part time, so I have plenty of time to hang with your pets!! I’m also available for ANY holidays. When caring for your pet in your home, I can adjust to any schedule/routine and follow it exactly. Pets can get stressed if their routine changes, so I’m just here to ensure their time away from you is as comfortable and easy (and fun) as possible. When caring for a pet in my home, I have a big backyard to run and play on a quiet street. I do have a couple cats so as long as your baby is okay with cats, they’re okay with it too!

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with a strong work ethic and a drive to airways continue learning. Most of my animal experience lies with horses, BUT I also have prior experience working at an animal hospital that provided boarding services for many smaller animals! (Dogs, cats, even some reptiles and bunnies) I primarily took care of boarders and assisted staff with handling and restraining patients for treatment. I handled scheduled play times, feedings, potty breaks, patient check-ins, etc. I have hands on experience with giving oral medications to dogs and cats, some experience in reptile care as well. Lots of special needs and senior dogs that needed a lot of care and medications. As long as there's a detailed note to follow, I can get it done. I am very cautious and take my job as an animal caretaker very seriously. As a horse and cat owner, I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your fur-family in the care of someone else! I will always make sure to do the best I can to leave your fur-babies safe, happy, and comfortable. Animal behavior and training is something I've always been interested in, so I'm always looking to learn more about up to date training methods as well as the best ways to take care of my pets and the ones in my care! I'm currently working Saturday-Monday 7-7 so my schedule stays pretty flexible on my days off (Tuesday-Friday). Tuesdays I can offer limited availability (7am-1:30pm) Wednesday-Friday I can make just about anything work as long as it leaves time during the day to visit my horse :) Any time I'm caring for a family dog or any pet, I'll freshen their water, make sure they've been fed (and that they ate all their food) and that their behavior is normal. If I Iet them out to use the bathroom I'll keep an eye out to make sure everything looks normal and healthy and that they're not acting unwell. If they're interested, we'll play a little bit before I leave. Same routine for cats, except instead of taking them out to go potty I'll clean their litter box.

About: I have had a dog of my own since I was 12 and absolutely adore all animals. I did a decent amount of dogsitting over the 2022 summer and loved it :) I am a freshman and hamilton college but hoping to do more over the upcoming summer. I am honestly pretty open other than working 1-5 usually everyday. Besides that I am available to take care of your pup whenever it is needed :) Please just let me know what works best for you! I love to take dogs on walks and really just spend quality time with them. I really just enjoy the company and think they’re adorable :) I could play all day or watch a show on the couch with some pets depending on what they need from me!

About: I have had dogs, cats, and other animals, in my life for as long as I can remember. From puppies to seniors, administration of medication, and normal care/training. I would love to be there for your dog when life gets in your way. I also have a BS in Zoology and have experience with exotic pets as well as fish. Perfect for the multi-pet household! I provide pet care on the weekends with hopes to expand to every day of the week. Most of my free time is devoted to animal care. I can assist with any basic need of any animal in your home. Provide feeding, walking, outside time, play time, medicine administration, and more. Just let me know what your pet needs, I am certain I can accommodate.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my diverse experience and adaptability to meet the unique needs of every pet. I have a special focus on both puppies and senior pets, offering tailored care for each stage of life. With puppies, I provide basic training, reinforcing positive behaviors and helping with crate training, potty training, and socialization. For senior pets, I’m attentive to their special needs, offering extra comfort, gentle exercise, and medication management. Additionally, I pride myself on building a strong bond with pets, ensuring they feel safe and loved in my care. Whether it’s administering medications or managing special diets, I take the time to make sure every pet receives the highest level of personalized attention and care. Caring for someone else's pet fits into my daily routine by ensuring they are fed, exercised, and given attention, just like I would for my own pet. I make time for walks or play sessions, and check in on their well-being. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their feeding, exercise, and medication routines. I ensure the pet is safe, comfortable, and engaged with regular play or walks. I also maintain a clean environment and provide updates to the client. My goal is to offer the same care and attention the pet is used to.

About: I've always had such a deep love for animals of any kind, and I've been taking care of all kinds of creatures ever since I was 9 or 10 years old! I've been responsible for taking care of family pets, as well as more professional pet-sitting for family, neighbors, friends, etc. I've always prided myself on my ability to treat your pets as if they were my own. I'm a very gentle, non-threatening entity for many animals I've cared for, but I can also be very energetic for those that need a way to get all that canine energy out! I will always keep to whatever walking, feeding, sleeping, potty, and/or medication (if needed) schedule that your pet(s) are used to doing, so they can be the most comfortable they can be. I'm truly hoping that I can make animal care my career, and my heart is full of love towards your fur (and scaly) babies! I'm currently working part-time at a dog groomer, so I'm available from Saturdays-Tuesdays (I work 12-6 Wednesday-Friday). I can do a Friday evening or a Wednesday morning if it's really needed. I try to spend as much time with your pet as possible, so that's why I'd recommend booking on the full days I have off from work. I have a small dog, so there are plenty of toys and treats available! We also have a crate and a baby gate, so if anyone needed some alone time, we can make that available for them. Our apartment also has a big courtyard, so if your pup needs some outdoor time, there's plenty of space to run around! (On a leash, of course)

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Newark

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Newark on Rover is $29.96 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 442 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
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
