“Morgann has been absolutely amazing with our kittens! We could not recommend her more. She is punctual and trusting. She goes above and beyond with our cats. She sends updates and is always checking in, which has brought a lot of comfort. Our kittens genuinely look forward to her visits and they are visibly happy because of all that she does. She clearly loves animals and it shows in our cats! We left her with a huge list of instructions and sometimes with last minute things, but she has always handled everything with grace and such an accommodating spirit. She has been great and we will always choose to use her if she has the availability!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we were so happy with Taylor! She was communicative and helpful. She followed all the instructions for our cats' care, and I can tell they were well-loved in our absence. We will certainly rebook her next time!”
“This was our first time leaving our energetic puppy with a sitter, and Justice made it a breeze. She was incredibly communicative, responding to all of our messages quickly and sending the cutest picture updates. When we came home, our dog was happy, tired out from play, and clearly bonded with her. Highly recommend her services!”

“Alison was amazing! She communicated well, sent so many pictures and was super consistent. I have a pesky cat in the bunch that doesn’t like other people and she wasn’t afraid to do what needed to be done. I can’t adequately explain how great it is to know your animals are taken care of while you’re away. Great peace of mind.”
“This was my first time using Rover and McKenna was absolutely wonderful. She took such great care of my kitties and sent pictures with every visit. She took extra time to cuddle with them which did my heart good. I would definitely hire her again, it was a great experience”
“Jessica has watched our dog several times now. She leaves pictures and updates after every visit, which we really appreciate. Great experience so far and will continue to book with her!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedicated focus on specialized developmental and medical pet care, ensuring your pet gets the precise care they need at every stage of life. While many sitters offer standard feeding and walks, I tailor my approach specifically to your pet's life stage, routines, and physical capabilities. I am currently working part time and have availability until 3PM M-F. Sunday: all day I work with special needs children (Autism) in their homes. I will be taking care of your pets at your home where they will feel the most comfortable. Walks will be local and if possible-long walks on trails. Details matter to me, so please be as detailed as possible. I will love your fur baby as my own. (Mine passed away 2 years ago.)
“Jiajia was the most incredible cat sitter we’ve ever had. She arrived for our meet and greet ready to take notes, and Oliver immediately loved her. Her videos and report cards were so detailed and personal that it made us feel like we were right there with our little kitty! Jiajia will always be our go to cat sitter from now on!”
About: I’ve owned and/or taken care of cats longer than I can remember. While I’ve never owned a dog myself, I’ve watched my friends and neighbors dogs often. Sometimes people bring their dogs into the office, and everyone knows that’s where you’ll find me. I can match the energy of your pets whether that’s doing loops around my yard, or giving half an hour of ear scratches while they snooze. Please tell me all about your pet, I’d love to know them personally! I work full time, week days from 9am-5pm, but am otherwise available! Weekends are flexible, and I’m also very willing to work after I come home from work, usually by 5:15 or so I have a fenced in back yard, and 3 pretty friendly cats at home. They’re extremely non-threatening and more likely to get scared and hide than anything. I am able to crate or separate pets as needed, I do have an extra room so if a separated stay is needed, it’s no issue. I also have a camera I can set up where needed to check in during the day while I am out. I do also have a basement, it’s not officially finished but I’ve turned it into a safe and comfy enough space that I trust my own kitties to have full access to. Any overnight visitors are more than welcome to have that whole space to be separated in, if owner is comfortable with it!
About: Hi! My name's Mike I've grown up with dogs all my life - parents had a small Maltese, and all my close friends had dogs of all sizes - which I was known to be the designated voluntary caretaker for. I helped raise 2 wonderful blue nose Pitbulls, a French Bulldog, a Golden, a short haired Chihuahua, and 2 German Shepards before I even started college. You should hire me for my ability to properly care for a dog, and my undivided attention. No feeding from the hand, no jumping on strangers, rewarding good behavior (not barking at the door, sitting before food, etc.). You can rest assured that your fluffy bundle of joy will be the center of my attention at all times, and I will always be encouraging good behavior to the extent of the current training of your pet!! I currently live in a large home with no family members or pets, so there's plenty of space for you pet to explore. No trash or clutter on the floor, no dust, no smoke, no sharp objects, nothing in the house that contains typical pet allergies (but please let me know if there are specifics!) Hope to meet some wonderful pets!!
About: I have 1 dog at home who is well treated, healthy and happy. Relatives can assure that I love dogs and take good care of them. I work from home with a flexible schedule that gives me the flexibility to walk and/or visit your dog anytime during the day and afternoon :) I live in a cozy, pet-friendly apartment where dogs feel right at home. I also have access to a large yard, perfect for walks, potty breaks, and getting fresh air throughout the day.
“Sofia has been terrific as our drop-in sitter, coming to our house to hang with our dogs while we are at work or running errands. Always reliable and quick to respond and the dogs have a blast and jump for joy when she visits!”
“Bethany was wonderful! She made a point to meet our puppy and see the routine before her visits with him! She made me so comfortable about leaving him for the first time in her capable hands! Thank you!”
“Ashley has been great! She is very reliable and quite a life saver on some last minute requests. My Gracie just loves her and Ashley takes special time with her going above and beyond. 5 stars !!”
“Dannielle was absolutely wonderful! She is super sweet and we were at ease while traveling knowing she was taking great care of our elderly cat. We appreciated the daily updates she sent. We will definitely be reaching out to her again to care for our cat. This was our first time using Rover as we needed to find someone to come by multiple times a day since our cat has had health issues since the last time we traveled. Everything went so smoothly, and we’re so happy we’ve found a reliable source of care for when we travel again! Thanks again Dannielle!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rahway
Jada was amazing. She was super communicative and great with our cats, even when they had some hairballs and litter box challenges. We were so impressed when she told us our cats came out for pets because they’re so people shy! They really warmed up to her. It was so relaxing to go on vacation knowing our cats were in great hands.
I had a lot of anxiety leaving my two senior kitties while I went on a trip for two weeks but Quin was very quick to respond to any concerns and sent no less than 3 pictures per visit! She was kind, responsible, and thorough with their complicated routines and honored any small request and answered any question I had about them. Quin is amazing and I will be booking again! :)
Justice was fantastic with our cats! Justice took wonderful care of our kitties while we were away. She earned their trust quickly while respecting their boundaries, and it was clear she genuinely cared about their wellbeing. She kept the feeding areas and litter boxes clean and sanitary, refilled the automatic feeders while keeping track of a special diet, and took out the trash and recycling. Justice also sent us daily updates with photos, which gave us real peace of mind knowing our cats were happy and well cared for. We'd absolutely book her again!
Ellen was wonderful caring for my ten-year-old cat Taffy through drop-in visits while I was away. Taffy is ordinarily fearful of strangers, but took a liking to Ellen immediately. Ellen is also a pleasure to work with and I look forward to using her again in my future times away from home.
I’ve had a great experience with Taylor as my pet sitter! She is reliable and always takes great care of my cats. She sends plenty of updates and pictures, which gives me peace of mind while I’m away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Debra was an absolute dream! She took such great care of my cat. She was attentive, courteous, and extremely kind, ensuring that my trip away from home was fun since I was reassured that Debra had everything in hand while I was out of town. I couldn’t be more pleased with her services, I would recommend her 1000% to anyone!
Morgann has been absolutely amazing with our kittens! We could not recommend her more. She is punctual and trusting. She goes above and beyond with our cats. She sends updates and is always checking in, which has brought a lot of comfort. Our kittens genuinely look forward to her visits and they are visibly happy because of all that she does. She clearly loves animals and it shows in our cats! We left her with a huge list of instructions and sometimes with last minute things, but she has always handled everything with grace and such an accommodating spirit. She has been great and we will always choose to use her if she has the availability!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Rahway on Rover is $25.53 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 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 September 2026, there are 26,955 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rahway. 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 Rahway 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 Rahway. 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.
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.
