“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 :)”

About: As someone who has had many fur babies, I understand how hard it can be to leave them! My goal is to make that experience less stressful and ensure that you are stress free while away. I have had extensive experience caring for animals ranging from dogs and cats to reptiles, amphibians, fish, guinea pigs, mice, rats and hamsters. I currently have a cat and guinea pigs but have had all of the prior listed animals at one point or another. I am comfortable doing care for special needs animals and don’t mind the extra time that they need. I am available on short notice and during some odd hours due to grad school. I am a current grad student so I have flexible timing as well as last minute availability. I am available most weekdays after 3pm and anytime on the weekends. Given my experience with many pets, I know how to safely handle many species as well as care for cats and dogs. I am also trained in animal cpr and am comfortable dealing with any special needs an animal has as well as any emergencies that may arise.

“This is our second time using Christina to watch Chloe, and she continues to be absolutely the best. She went above and beyond when Chloe was having some belly issues — including cleaning up an accident on the carpet without a second thought. She vacuumed daily, brought in our packages, and communicated with us the whole time, from key pickup to drop-off. It’s clear she genuinely cares for Chloe like her own. We’d use her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who goes the extra mile.”

“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!”

About: I started working with animals at 18, from dog grooming to caring for friends’ pets. Over time, I learned that every animal has its own personality and needs, and that patience and compassion are key to gaining their trust. Now, as a proud mom of two dogs, my love for animals has only grown stronger, and it inspires me to treat every pet with the same level of care I give my own. currently work at a beauty salon from Tuesday to Saturday, but I have a flexible schedule, especially from Tuesday to Thursday. I’m fully available on Mondays. From Tuesday to Thursday, I can care for your little ones in the mornings or after 5:00 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are a bit more limited for me, but with advance planning, I’m happy to help. I can take them on walks, assist with feeding, or keep them company at night if they’re home alone. I adapt with love, commitment, and responsibility to their needs. I provide a calm, safe environment with lots of love and patience. I can care for your pet in your home or visit for walks, feeding, and companionship. I’m flexible, respectful of routines, and treat every fur baby like family.

“Kelly is the absolute best. This was our first time on Rover, and her communications were clear and quick, and she did great work reassuring us that our pup was in good hands. Loved the photographs, and really appreciated the time she took to communicate with us by phone and by text. We’re only slightly concerned that our pup now likes her more than us! 😀 Hugely impressed with Kelly - she’ll take fab care of your pups.”

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!

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.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - North Arlington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in North Arlington on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 12,706 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 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 North Arlington. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
