“I am so grateful for Kourtney taking care of my cat while I was away for a week! I really loved the daily updates and photos, and Kourtney was very quick to respond to any questions I had! I felt reassured and I knew my cat was in good hands while I was away. Thank you Kourtney!!”

“Gabi was an incredibly attentive, caring sitter for our kitty! She provided house sitting for four nights, and did a fabulous job. We returned home to a very relaxed, happy kitty with no stress. We could tell from the regular updates that she got lots of play time and kept to her routine very well. Gabi loved on Shootki so much and it's clear she absolutely loves and understands cats! We felt confident being away, and not worried. We would highly recommend Gabi for house sitting kitties, as she is caring, great with cat care, and very responsible!”

“Melanie came by for a visit just to get to know my kitty, Jinjin before I go away for a week. Melanie was great and was able to get Jinjin out of hiding which was awesome and very reassuring. I highly recommend her!”

“Nicolle is amazing! She did a great job taking care of our cats while we were away. She followed all the instructions, was very kind and communicative and the cats felt comfortable with her. She also took care of our apartment. Highly recommended!”

About: I have experience caring for senior dogs, young and energetic dogs, cats, and reptiles. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Animal Health with a concentration in Small Animals in 2024. My professional animal-care background has taught me to provide patient, compassionate, and attentive care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I am available Mondays from 4–8 PM and Fridays from 11 AM–4 PM. Fridays offer my most availability, allowing me to provide attentive care and make sure your pets’ needs are fully met. I’m unable to host pets in my home, but I can travel to your home. I provide individualized care based on each pet’s unique needs, personality, routine, enrichment preferences, and exercise requirements.
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'd definitely book Andrew again! Great with communication and scheduling, diligent about following our requests, and spent quality time with the kitty. We came home to a relaxed and happy cat. Thanks!”

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.
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.
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for over 20 years, from childhood through adulthood, and have personally cared for five dogs over that time. Being around dogs has always been a big part of my life, so I understand the attention, patience, exercise, and love that goes into making sure they’re happy and comfortable. My current dog, Reyna, is a loving 4-year-old Micro Bully/Frenchie mix with plenty of personality. Caring for her has given me even more hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, exercise, and understanding a dog’s individual needs and behaviors. I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. Whether I’m stopping in for a visit, going for a walk, or spending more time with them while you’re away, I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, attention, and care I give my own. I work remotely and have a very flexible daily schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my routine. Even on days when I have meetings scheduled, I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and spending quality time with your pets. I do train a couple of evenings during the week, but it shouldn’t interfere with providing consistent and reliable care. Working from home gives me the ability to plan around each pet’s normal routine rather than expecting them to adjust to mine. Whether your pet needs attention during the workday, a midday walk, or care while you’re away, I can be flexible and make sure they’re getting the time and attention they need. My home is already set up with pets in mind. My cats have plenty of comfortable spaces throughout the apartment, including a cat tower, a window perch, and different areas where they can relax or have their own space. My dog also has access to a dog park within my apartment complex, which makes regular exercise, playtime, and outdoor breaks easy and convenient. My dog and cats are all comfortable around each other and live together peacefully. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I understand how important it is to keep them comfortable by maintaining the routine and environment they’re already familiar with. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and any other routines you have in place. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and get plenty of attention while you’re away.
“Luna loved her stay for a few days with Hira! Hira kept Luna entertained with a variety of cat toys (laser, feather & fish on a laptop!) and much affection. She sent pics and videos of Luna which made me happy as I missed her so much! I had a mishap at the end of my vacation which Hira very graciously accommodated. I would not hesitate to recommend Hira and look forward to her services again.”

About: I have been dog sitting for years for family and friends, I have always loved animals and have always connected and bonded with them very easily. I would love to get to know your dog and form a great connection with them! I am a college student, so pet and house sitting allows me to get some school work done as well. I also have weekends free. I will follow the care directions to a T. No one knows your fur baby better than you and I want to make sure you feel as comfortable as possible leaving them with me.
“We found Gia to be very caring and attentive to our cat. She regularly sent us updates, and we appreciated her kind and gentle manner - it is clear she loves animals. Thanks so much!”

About: I've been a cat and dog owner since I was 7, I always loved animals and I have been through many stages of learning about them. In my life I've had more cats that I rescued from the streets to adopt them and give them a fair life, and with dogs I have the patience to understand them and emphatize with them to become their friend. I'm a student and part time worker looking for a new experience in my life and some new ways of having extra income to survive the city and pay for my own bills. I have a lot of extra time after classes and also some weekends and I'm willing and excited to make this work. I will follow instructions of the owner for extra care and will also add my extra attention to the pet I'm taking care of.
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!
“Nicole was wonderful. Our kitty, Oscar, loved her. She is really an amazing cat sitter as she played with him to stimulate him when we were away. She has a fantastic feel for cats and gave use many pictures and videos to watch on our trip. Five stars! Keith”


“We were so lucky to find Jazmin! She was on point with communication from the very start and our babies loved her from day one. She sent us nice notes and pics while we were away which made me feel so at ease and I could tell our cats were so happy with her because the home and animals were so happy! Thank you so much!!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - North Arlington
Pete agreed to check in on our cat, Sandy, and feed her while we were traveling. He went above and beyond by checking in on her not, once, but twice! Sandy ADORES Pete and was thrilled by the (two!) visits. She told us all about it when we got home. Thank you, Pete!!
Olga took great care of Mango while we were away for the weekend. She followed our instructions and kept everything on schedule, sending updates and photos at every visit - which we really appreciated. Mango seemed comfortable and well cared for. We’d happily book Olga again!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in North Arlington is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $25 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,615 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across North Arlington. 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
