About: Hi! Animals have always been important in my life. I grew up in Brooklyn feeding and befriending a feral cat colony in my backyard, so I started caring for animals at a young age and never looked back. I am the only person in my household who will be responsible for your pets! From 2014 to 2023 I worked as an LVT in a variety of clinic and hospital settings. I'm comfortable with subcutaneous injections (including fluid administration), wound care, administering medications, and generally any at-home treatments that your veterinarian would put in their discharge instructions (cleaning ears, changing a wound bandage, paw soaks, etc) If you have a dog or cat with special needs, including a senior pet, they already have a special place in my heart and I'd love to meet them. Over the years, I've done seasonal pet-sitting/dog-walking as well as caring for the pets of friends and family when needed. I'm a stay-at-home mom, cat butler, and chicken tender. My son started pre-K in September, so my availability during the week is typically 8:30-4, with some flexibility. I can also be available for evening visits/walks and specific weekends if booked in advance In my home, dogs and cats are allowed on furniture. We have 3 acres for leashed walks, as well as plenty of safe neighborhoods and parks nearby. Our home has a separate downstairs living space with its own bathroom and doors to the outside. I've raised 8 chickens on our property so far and last year my husband and I adopted two female Sphynx kittens, Nosy and Yaya.
“I booked Arabella for 5 drop in visits with my 2 cats and after meeting her for the first time, I had 0 doubts that they would be well cared for. She updated me about how they were doing for each visit, left detailed and informative summaries for me (with pictures), and had no problem following all of the instructions I left for her. She clearly has plenty of experience with animals, and I will absolutely be booking her again. 10/10, I definitely recommend choosing Arabella for any pet sitting needs.”
“Jennifer is such a great sitter! She is the first sitter I've hired through Rover and made me feel totally comfortable from the start. I hired her for home visits for my cat while I was on vacation. Her responses were always quick, her check-ins prompt and thorough. She went above and beyond to take care of my dear kitty and she will certainly be my first choice again in the future.”
About: I’ve always been patient and empathetic with animals. I love meeting dogs and cats, caring for them and making them happy. My family dog passed away this year at the age of 16-17. I have a cat. I can be available in the evening/night between 5pm and 8am, and in the morning before 8am. I can’t have other animals in my home because I have a cat. I can’t have other animals in my home due to my two cats, but I’m very respectful of other people’s homes. I never leave the house without making sure my cats are fed or have someone available to check on them if I will be gone for more than a few hours.
About: About Me 🐾 Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with my dog, Lucy, and two cats, so animals have always been a big part of my life. For the past three years, I’ve also been a proud dog parent to my pup, Omelette! As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust with your pets. I’ll treat yours with the same patience, attention, and care that I give my own — whether that means a long walk, some playtime, keeping them company, or just making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I work during the day but have a flexible schedule outside of work, making me available for evening walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and other pet-care needs. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and follow any specific feeding, walking, medication, or care instructions you provide. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs and understand that every animal has their own personality. Whether your pet is energetic and ready for an adventure, shy and needs some patience, or would rather spend the evening curled up on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Most importantly, I want you to be able to leave your pet knowing they’re in good hands — and I’m always happy to send plenty of pictures and updates along the way! 🐶🐱 I work a full-time schedule, but I have plenty of flexibility outside of work to provide reliable pet care. I’m available for evening walks and drop-ins during the week, as well as overnight stays and more flexible care on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and company while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for them. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, exercise needs, and boundaries. I’ll always follow your instructions closely, keep your home secure, and provide regular updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love.
About: Full-time aunt to Kobe, a silky terrier 6 year-old sassy, well trained boy, with a strong personality. Part-time aunt to all of my friend's animals, cats/dogs, of all shapes and sizes. Super observant of animal behavior in order to understand animals needs. Highly prioritize communicating with owners about their animals, to learn and adapt to animals/owners needs. I enjoy active days, especially with a cool dog to run around or play ball with. I'm also just as good at lounging around as your cat is, if it needs someone to fluff around with, I'm that person too. I can hold down my own, when it comes to extra large sized animals or even the fiercest of them all- the tiny animals. Besides creating a fun environment for your animals, I'm also creating a positive active environment for myself. Nothing makes me happier than cool animals, they are great company. I am a fan of walks as it is, so to have an animal join me in my outdoor adventures sounds like the perfect day to me. I am currently in a space where I am working from home, so it's been nice to have the company from all the animals as well as a reason to get up from my desk during the daily walks. I am quite clean when it comes to animals, so wiping of the paws after entering from the outdoors is on a list of to-do's for me. They do after all, sleep in our beds and walk on our couches. I also do not like ingredients like wheat and filler, so I always make sure to have any/all treats or foods with ingredients that will elongate the life rather than cut it short. I do not actually have the space to board at this time, but I am more than accommodating to keeping animals in their home space to make sure they are in their most comfortable mental state, while their parent/parents are away.
About: I’m a veterinary technician who loves caring for animals! I also have experience as a manager at a doggy daycare. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all kinds and always treat every animal with the same love and attention I’d give my own! I currently am a part time vet tech, I have a 6 month old sidekick so I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to stop in and give your cat the attention they deserve. I’m available throughout the week for drop-in visits and can work with your cat’s normal feeding and care routine. Whether they want playtime, cuddles, or prefer to silently judge me from across the room, I’m happy to follow their lead! I’ll care for your cat in their own home where they’re most comfortable and stick closely to the routine you provide. I’ll make sure food and water are fresh, litter is clean, doors are secure, and your cat is safe and accounted for. I’m also respectful of shy or nervous cats and won’t force interaction — I’m perfectly willing to earn their trust one treat at a time. And of course, you can expect updates and pictures so you know exactly how your tiny landlord is doing while you’re away. 🐱
“Tricia was great. Took excellent care of my cat especially considering we had just moved into the new house and the cat was quite nervous about the new space. I would definitely recommend and use Tricia again.”
“Mark has done 2 Drop-Ins for me, and been professional both times. The last time, he was able to send a vid + pics and positive news that my cat was very welcoming to him. Since she likes to snuggle, it's important to me that she has someone there who wants to engage with her in earnest. Mark is a safe and solid bet when it comes to cat care.”
“We truly appreciated the thoughtful nature of Mary Ann and the care with which she approached our scaredy cats. She arrived on time, took care of the cats and kept us updated along the way. She took the initiative to spent some quiet time with them allowing the cats to trust her and get pets while we were away. She has a very calming personality, she is respectful of cats and understands that pet parents can be anxious leaving their babies home alone. She sent us multiple pictures at each visits and appropriately provided updates. This allowed us to be at ease knowing our cats were well cared for by Mary Ann. I highly appreciate Mary Ann and would love to work with her in the future.”
“Alison took great care of our pets, sent thorough updates and made us feel totally at ease. It means a lot to be able to trust someone in your home when you’re away. We could not be more appreciative and will 100% book her again.”
About: I spent 7 years working at a pet boarding facility. For the last 8 years, I’ve been a vet tech in an animal hospital. Im equipped to care for geriatric and ill patients and trained to give oral medications, topical medications, and injectable medications. I work full time during the week so I’d schedule all walks prior to work, on my lunch break and after work. My weekends are open. I will care for your pet as if they’re my own. I always check gates before allowing pets out in fenced in yards, I only walk pets on leashes and I avoid high volume traffic areas when walking.
“Jonathan took care of my 10 cats for a few days while we were on a trip. He did a great job and was able to administer injections to my diabetic cat which was wonderful. He kept me thoroughly updated on my cats which gave me peace of mind while I was away from them. I would definitely book him again.”
About: I am the person who finds the animal at the party and sits with them all night. I have a lot of experience with all animals from having my own to staying with others for a week. I can tell the signs of an upset animal and the last thing I would do is upset them more. I understand that animals are our babies and keeping them safe is my top priority. I am open to all sizes of any animal.. the bigger the better! I currently have 3 dogs at home which range from 17 lbs - 100 lbs and not to brag but I can walk all 3 of them at the same time! Lol. I just want you to be able to go where you need to and not have to worry if your furry friend is safe because I got you!! I am currently in college, so I have plenty of time where I can come hang out with your babies! I am a college student currently working as an LPN. I have time before class/work, I can come on my lunch, after class/work, and weekends are free. I am pretty open, so please just ask and I would be happy to fit your furry friend into my schedule! I will of course follow the rules set for me. I am open to going for a long walk, playing in the yard, snuggling, and honestly anything your baby needs. I am also very open to taking your pup somewhere if they need. For example, if you can’t get off work I am happy to bring your pet to the vet or do drop off/pick up at daycare. This would totally be up to you though!!

“Ashley doesn't just take care of our two high-maintenance cats - she makes sure everything in the house is safe, secure, and comfortable while we are away! I know it's all in good hands when Ashley is here.”

Christine did a wonderful job with my cats and I would heartily recommend her. She followed all instructions including giving meds to one of my kitties. She sent photos every day which showed the affection she handled them with. She is trustworthy, kind and efficient. .
Alexandra took excellent care of our cat, Luna. Besides taking a photo for each of her drop-in visits, she would occasionally send a video, as well as reach out to me to let me know how things were going. I really felt that Luna was in great hands. I would definitely hire her again!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Pompton Lakes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 3,252 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Pompton Lakes. 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.
