“Cristina did amazing. Fifa has medical issues and needs quite a few meds twice a day. She took care of him at our home for drop ins, sent pictures and set up the house for him after each visit to be comfy.”
“We are so grateful to Jasmin for watching our cat, Riley, while we were traveling. She took great care of her which let us enjoy our trip without worrying. She even went the extra step of washing Riley’s dishes after her meals. Thank you so much, Jasmin! We would definitely book with you again. ☺️”
“Michael was great with our cats! They are not socialized well and so are a little shy and Michael was patient with them and took the time they needed to warm up. Michael was incredibly responsive and kind- highly recommend him!”
“Thalia is a great cat sitter! She is punctual, has great communication skills, left great notes and photos, and followed my directions perfectly. I will definitely request her services again!”
“Tessa did an awesome job of keeping us informed while we were away during our trip and sending us lots if photos. Our pets seemed happy and loved on. House was in order when we returned and she went above and beyond doing somethings we didn't expect her to take care of such as taking out trash and scooping litter since it was a short trip.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I grew up with a German Shepherd named Eva, the love of my life. While a sophomore in high school, I began working at a dog daycare called Pups@Play Montclair. That job gave me invaluable knowledge of dog behavior and relationship dynamics. I learned the intricacies of their behavior, body language, personality, whether they were high energy or low energy, active or reactive, etc. I used that to diffuse many doggy disputes. I worked with and managed 50+ dogs everyday. Daschunds, puppies, mutts, great danes, shepherds, samoyeds, bulldogs, pitbulls, hairless, everything. I can handle any dog I meet. You can trust me to handle your dog with care, happiness, love, understanding, and patience. I am fit and ready to play! Dogs hold such a special place in my heart and I can't wait to meet yours! I am a student at Rutgers New Brunswick and my schedule currently has me free after 5pm on weekdays and any time after 9am on weekends. I can potentially be available if there is a special circumstance but that is by no means a guarantee. I do not currently offer boarding services. If I were to offer boarding, your dog would be comfortable, happy, hydrated, and well-fed. Have a great day, talk to you soon!
“Eleanor is amazing with my cats and they both really respond to her, even my shy cat! She's also very communicative and responsive and is comfortable getting detailed instructions (both of my cats require special medicine / feeding instructions). This isn't my first time booking her for cat care and I would definitely book her again!”
“Jennifer is very professional, caring and responsible. She recently watched our dog for four days and did an excellent job making sure he was fed and got plenty of love. She also sent lots of pictures and updates which were nice:)”
About: I'm the type of dog mom that makes and sets up decor for each birthday and holiday. I promise to treat yours with the same type of love I give my own pups. ❤ I'm up by 6am and work at home so it makes it easy for me to care for my own dogs and drop in on your pets. I also make my own schedule, so my time is flexible during the day. I will treat your pets as if they were my own! I will make sure they are comfortable and tended to until their favorite human returns. ❤
“Absolutely the best care we've ever had for our cats while away, and for a whole two weeks! Our little girl who had kidney issues is still thriving and kept active, all special care instructions were followed to the letter, couldn't ask for a better sitter!”
“I absolutely enjoyed working with Gabby. She was friendly and easy to talk to. She took great care of my cats when we were out, her rover card summary was detailed, which really eased my feelings of missing the cats. Would recommend her to others”
“Kimberly has been extremely reliable and took great care of Penny, Kimberly also made multiple visits at home to ensure my cat was doing okay! Thankyou so much and also thanks a lot for accepting last minute request it was really helpful and lot of relief.”
“Rafaela was amazing from start to finish! She kept great communication, sent me pictures for peace of mind, and followed all the instructions perfectly. I truly appreciated her care and would happily book her again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs of a sizes since I was a child. I have my own dog that I adopted from a rescue last year and have trained over this last year. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes, can administer medication, and can help with reinforcing basic training commands. I am a teacher during the school year and am off for the summer, so I have flexible hours and can help care for your pet as needed! I know that all dogs are different and have varying comfort levels with new people. I care for pets by letting them approach me, and not overwhelming them upon a first meeting. I am happy to play with, walk, feed, and care for your pet as you best see fit.
“Jessica was wonderful! Took great pics and had fantastic communication with me when an issue with the litter robot came up. My cats were thrilled to have someone check in on them while I was away! Jessica did not disappoint!! If you have the opportunity, I would strongly recommend!”
About: I’m an animal lover who goes above and beyond while caring for your dog. I always follow the pet owner's directions carefully so that the pet will be happy while they are in my care and the owner will be at ease knowing that their pet is in good hands. I have a family who has years of pet sitting experience. I can come to your house to feed or walk your dog or other pets. I love all animals so I am interested in caring for your cats and other pets. I have many references. I am a college student attending tcnj. My schedule is very flexible, I am available every day to come and take care of your pets. I can be trusted to go to your home and lock the doors and set the alarm. If transporting your dog, I would be confident in putting on harnesses, leashes, and any other items you request.

This was our first time working with Maya, and she was fantastic! She was so attentive to our cats and kept us updated throughout the whole trip, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our time away. Great communication from start to finish! you can tell she really cares. We’ll definitely be booking her again!
The opportunity to adopt Phaedra was unexpected, and we were resigned to cancelling our long-planned July 4th trip. But Jasmin stepped in for our last-minute request and was excellent. It was clear from the many posted pictures that our new cat quickly bonded with Jasmin and received the love and attention she needed. It was great returning to a happy, healthy cat.
Tessa did an awesome job of keeping us informed while we were away during our trip and sending us lots if photos. Our pets seemed happy and loved on. House was in order when we returned and she went above and beyond doing somethings we didn't expect her to take care of such as taking out trash and scooping litter since it was a short trip.
Eleanor is amazing with my cats and they both really respond to her, even my shy cat! She's also very communicative and responsive and is comfortable getting detailed instructions (both of my cats require special medicine / feeding instructions). This isn't my first time booking her for cat care and I would definitely book her again!
Harsh was amazing. I had a lot going on at my parents’ house and needed someone last minute. He showed up within 20 minutes of my request without hesitation. He was respectful, polite, and treated my cats like they were his own. I only had to explain things once and he understood everything right away. He made a stressful situation so much easier for me. I’ve already booked him again for a future date and would absolutely recommend him. Your pets will be in safe hands with Harsh.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 20,801 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Piscataway. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Piscataway stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Piscataway. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
