About: I have over 12 years of experience raising and caring for dogs, including taking care of puppies from the time they were born. I understand the needs of dogs at every stage of life, from newborn puppies to adult dogs, and I provide calm, attentive, and loving care. Your dog will be treated like family in a safe and comfortable home environment. I work from home, so I’m home with the dogs throughout the day and able to give them lots of attention, care, and supervision. Your dog will rarely be left alone and will have plenty of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles during the day. I make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and part of the family while they’re staying with me. The backyard is fully fenced and safe, providing a secure space for dogs to play. I live on a quiet street with very little traffic, making it a safe environment for dogs.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life, and they've always been a part of my family. From playful pups to wise old dogs, I've learned how to care for them in many different aspects. I've also babysat puppies before, so I know how to handle the extra energy that comes with it! I’m currently a college student working a part time job. I have a lot of extra free time on the weekdays to hangout with pups. I am available most weekdays to go for some walks and drop-in visits! Your pet's safety is my top priority. I maintain a secure and clean environment, free from hazards. I'm experienced in recognizing signs of distress or illness and will immediately contact you. Dogs in my care enjoy regular walks, playtime in a secure yard, and plenty of cuddles on the couch. I ensure each dog gets personalized attention, catering to their specific needs and energy levels. At home, my own dogs are part of the family, and I extend that same love and care to every dog I will watch.

About: Hi! I strive to provide a local Bergen County pet care service dedicated to treating every pet like family. I provide dependable, loving care for dogs and cats including daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and small-dog boarding in a calm home environment. Pet parents choose me because I’m: • Reliable and punctual • Gentle and patient with shy or senior pets • Experienced with medications and special routines • Big on communication (photos + updates every visit!) Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or overnight care while you’re away, you can relax knowing they’re safe, happy, and loved. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! Pet care is a regular part of my weekly routine and my primary focus. I structure my schedule around walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, which allows me to be flexible and dependable for my clients. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings throughout the week, as well as weekends and holidays when needed. I’m able to give pets consistent attention and never feel rushed between visits. My goal is to provide reliable, on-time care that fits each pet’s normal routine. Safety, trust, and consistency are my top priorities when caring for pets. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and attention I would expect for my own. In clients’ homes, I carefully follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, medications, and bedtime so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I keep doors secured, use leashes and harnesses properly, and always double-check gates and locks. I also send regular photo and message updates so owners feel connected and reassured. I pride myself on being reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of both pets and homes, which is why many families trust me for ongoing care.

About: I’ve pet sat for neighbors’ dogs of all ages since high school, and I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and cleaning up waste. I’m also very routine-focused—I stick closely to your dog’s schedule so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I grew up with a mutt who recently passed, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, lovin, and caring for your dog. I’ll treat your pup like my own and provide daily updates with photos, plus quick notes on meals and how their day went. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I work Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons into early evenings, and Sunday mornings into early afternoon. Outside of those hours, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and extended visits. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide consistent care, along with daily updates and photos so you feel confident while you’re away. 🐾📸 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any household rules you have in place. I make sure your pet always has fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention and comfort. For dogs, I’m careful with leash safety, door safety, and picking up waste on every walk. For cats, I keep litter boxes clean, make sure doors and windows stay secure, and respect their comfort level—whether they want playtime or quiet companionship.

I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and love while they’re with me.

About: As a devoted dog owner myself, I understand the love and care your furry friend deserves and will treat them like my own. I know how hard it is to have to leave your beloved pet whether it is for a family or business trip, or even an emergency. I have been there and knowing they’re in good hands, loved and safe is priceless, that’s why I will always be available for a random video call if you want to say hi to them, or just tell them how you miss them. I work from home, with a flexible schedule so I am always around if more walks are needed, or if you pup is just in need of some hugs :) I have an extra bedroom with a dog pool filled with toys, and I don’t have any rules regarding pets on furniture - Maya happily sleeps on the couch or bed.

About: Hi! I'm Jenn, an animal lover based offering attentive, reliable care for your dogs and cats. As a cat owner myself, I understand the patience, routines, and little details that keep pets happy and comfortable. I've cared for dogs of all sizes: feeding, walking, playtime, and plenty of affection and I'm comfortable administering medications, so pets with special needs are always welcome. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, drop-in visits while you're away, or a cozy overnight stay in my apartment, I'll treat them with love and patience. You'll get timely updates, photos, and real peace of mind while you're away. I'm also fully bilingual in English and Spanish. ¡Hablo español, así que también atiendo con gusto a familias hispanohablantes! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority. I'd love to meet you and your furry family member! I have a full time job during weekdays. With 3 on site office days and 2 remote days. I'm available weekdays after 5pm and weekends. In my home (boarding): I keep a clean, calm, secure apartment with no other resident pets, so your dog or cat has a quiet space and my full attention. I keep doors and windows secured, never leave a pet unattended in unfamiliar surroundings, and follow the feeding, walking, and medication schedule you provide. Leashes always go on before we step outside. In your home (drop-in visits & walks): I follow your instructions exactly — feeding, fresh water, litter or potty breaks, playtime, and any medications. I respect your home, lock up carefully, and leave everything as I found it. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and stick to safe, familiar routes. For every service: I send photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe, I stay reachable throughout the booking, and I always do a free meet-and-greet first. If anything ever seems off with your pet's health or behavior, I'll contact you right away and follow your emergency plan.

Alice was amazing caring for our 2 cats and 1 dog. While sitting for us, our dog had a medical emergency and she couldn't reach my husband and I. She took the initiative to call the vet and bring him in for care. She went above and beyond to ensure he was OK, and kept us informed of how he was doing until we got back home the next day. We highly recommend Alice - she is kind, responsible and communicative!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Old Tappan

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 3,488 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Old Tappan. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Old Tappan. On Rover:

  • 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 85% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 88% 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 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.
