About: I've always loved animals and have been around dogs and cats for most of my life. I have my own pets so I know how important is to find someone you can trust with them. I'm happy to walk feed play with and give your pet lots of love and attention. I will treat them like they're part of my own family. I work during the week, but I have time in the afternoons and evenings to care for your pets. I’m also available on weekends and can be flexible depending on what you and your pet need. I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I’ll follow their normal routine as much as possible, give them plenty of attention, and keep you updated so you know they’re doing well.
“Alison did a fantastic job caring for our usually skittish cat who was skittish no more with Alison who sent us lovely pictures of her playing with her toys. Highly recommend.”
“Nicolle was a wonderful sitter to my cat while I was out on a holiday. She took great care of her while also making sure my home was in a good state for my cat. She is very caring and so loving towards my cat. She played with her, brushed her, petted her. She also made sure all the details were taken care of. Will recommend her and take her services once again :)”
“Tez is amazing! My cats were feral, so they take some time for them to warm up to people and Tez has taken her time over the years to become best friends with them. We can barely pick up our cats and she was just recently able to pick up one of them so I think that speaks volumes to how good she is with cats. She has also been super nice in watering our plants a few times and bringing up our packages while we are away. I highly highly recommend Tez, your cats are missing out if you’re not using her as a sitter! One of our cats was even on Lexapro for some time and Tez was really good with giving him pills.”
About: I have worked at many doggie daycares, shelters, and sanctuaries taking care of many types of dogs, while I have been studying for my Masters in Animal Science As a Masters student, I am able to control my schedule to care for all your pet needs on your time! Your furry friends are my top priority! I am ‘Maddies Fund’ certified in Canine Body Language, trained in breaking up and preventing dog fights and ensuring animal safety. As a keeper with Howling Woods farms I am well trained in animal behavior
“We booked Rivera last year and rebooked this year. Our kitties immediately remembered her and started bugging her for attention the minute she came through the door! Big thanks to Rivera for taking such great care of them, especially sticking to our medicine regimen. We always appreciate the photos and visit summaries. Will be booking again when needed!”
About: Growing up, my childhood home was affectionately known as "The Zoo"—and for good reason! From dogs and cats to bunnies, hamsters, hermit crabs, and fish, I’ve spent my life surrounded by a diverse cast of creatures. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’ve transitioned from a kid who loved animals to a seasoned caregiver who understands the nuances of pet behavior and health. I’m particularly well-versed in specialized care; I can confidently administer medications and manage complex health routines and I’m a dedicated "cat parent" to my own senior kitty who has CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease), so I truly understand the patience, vigilance, and extra TLC required for pets with chronic conditions. Whether your pet is high-energy or requires more care, they’ll be in experienced, loving hands. I am home all day with open availability and would love to fit your special furry loved one into my schedule and keep them company! I believe that every interaction should be rooted in building a genuine foundation of trust; when an animal feels secure, they can truly thrive. This bond is especially vital for pets requiring special care or medications—I take the time to move at their pace so that even during medical routines, they feel safe, happy, and relaxed rather than stressed.
“Delaney was amazing! She was so friendly, reliable, and clearly cares about animals. She kept me updated with photos and my cats warmed up to her so quickly. She even went the extra mile to clean their food mat and offered to take out our trash so the house wouldn’t smell when we got home. I came back to happy, relaxed pets and everything spotless. 10/10 would recommend — she’s the best!”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was little for family and neighbors. I can bathe, walk, feed, and care for dogs. I have 5 cats so I am very well known with how to care for a cat, I can clean litter boxes, feed, and care for all cats. During the week I am available early in the morning before 8am, and I also am available after 3 most days during the week. I am available on weekends at any time. I have 4 cats and feed them everyday. I also give one of my cats medication everyday. I take very good care of my cats, I have watched over a cousins dog in my home and it went very well, the cats never messed with him and he was very happy. I have also dog sat my brothers dog many times since he was a puppy.
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a teenager. From the family dog to the neighbors that are going out of town. I would feed the cats outside that usually ended up becoming a village. I care for two amazing cats now that are well behaved (Orange cat to the best of his abilities). I have an action camera that I can bring along upon request. I also like to take pictures so if allowed I’ll return some great pictures of your pet! I am an early bird that works from home with a very flexible schedule. I also go for evening walks around the park which are usually filled with dogs. Weekends are usually free. My cats get groomed weekly and have a food schedule that adapts well to their growing diet. When we dog sit our friends 2 Australian Shepard they are full of energy and get walked 3 times a day. Same goes for the family Boxer that has a few more years on him so he goes for a mild walk around the park.
“Izzi was great house sitting our two cats. One of which is a picky senior kitty. They sent pictures and responded quickly and thoroughly, as well as left our place clean. Would highly recommend Izzi :)”
About: I have many experience taking care of pets. I want pets to have a great experience. Therefore, I take the experience of pets very seriously. For Summer, I have a lot of availability. I cannot wait to take care of your dog or cat! I look forward to providing the best care possible for your loved one. I am very understanding and know how important pets are. Therefore, I would like to know how I can provide the best care for your pet.
About: I've cherished the company of pets throughout my entire life, ranging from the tiniest Shih Tzu to the majestic Siberian Huskies. My active lifestyle perfectly aligns with my passion for taking dogs on invigorating walks and spending countless hours engaged in joyful play with them. My experience extends beyond my own pets, as I've diligently cared for animals belonging to my uncles, even tending to my neighbor's cherished cats. I've also gone the extra mile to care for Guinea Pigs on behalf of my friends. My affinity for animals knows no bounds, and I genuinely cherish and adore each and every one of them. I’m currently attending school and working part-time so I am mostly only free on the weekends. Most of the time with a heads up I can make availability any day of the week. I live on a completely fenced property and I even have a doggy door for our furry friends. I know a few good doggy parks nearby that I can take our friends to in my car. I will always put the safety of our friendly little buddies first!

Christina is AMAZING!!! She’s taken care of my cats a few times now, and every time she’s gone above and beyond, treating my fur babies like her own. They are both anxious cats, but love when Christina visits and plays with them while I’m away. I would recommend her to anyone needing drop-ins and boarding for their pets. 🥰
Absolute amazing! Super thoughtful in taking care of our cat in our absence😌Sent us tons of photos and videos by our requests to put our minds at ease. She also did great work in cleaning up when our cat makes a mess🥲 Would 100/100 recommend Junhui for our furry friend.
Melissa was the best care taker for my 3 cats including my elderly one! I was traveling for my daughter’s wedding and this was the first time I didn’t have any available family members to care after my cats. Melissa took great care of them and I didn’t have to worry or stress about if my cats were okay while I was away. I would highly recommend her!
naveah was a great care giver for my cat and gave me so much peace of mind while away for work. she’s extremely communicative, prompt, and attentive to my requests and changes to schedule when they arose. grateful to have found her and will be using her services again ✨
Marlita did a wonderful job caring for my cat while I was away, I could tell from her feedback and pictures my cat was loved and cared for. He loved her company so much! She also was a great help as I needed her caregiving last minute and she was available, which I truly appreciate. Looking forward to working with Marlita again!
We’ve had several different cat sitters over the years as we moved through different neighborhoods, and Rivera is by far the best we’ve ever had and my cat’s absolute favorite. My cat, who is usually shy with new people, warmed up to her right away. Rivera sends thoughtful updates and photos, which gives me peace of mind when I am away. If you are looking for someone who loves animals and is reliable, she’s the one.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in North Arlington is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $25 per visit.

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 .

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.

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.
