About: I've rescued all over 50 dogs, have years of pet-sitting experience and love animals of all shapes and sizes! Even skittish pets trust me perhaps because I have a calm personality. I have retired after working at Riverview Medical center for 25 years so I have lots of time to spend with your pet family! I am available most days and/or evenings. I will follow your instructions to the letter- you know what is best for your pet. I will sit with them, feed them, play with them, walk them, administer medicine and/or treats or do whatever is needed to keep them healthy and happy!
About: Hello fellow animal lovers my name is Nikki. I am a self employed children's chess instructor who has spent years managing programs and caring for children and animals. I bring a high level of professionalism, responsibility, and attention to every pet I care for. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision. My goal is to make that process as easy as possible for both you and your beloved pet. I am highly attentive to each pets individual needs, whether that means maintaining a structured routine or providing extra reassurance. Spoiling your pet is guaranteed. I don't take a one size fits all approach. Each pet receives individual care based on their personality, energy level, and routine. They deserve it! With me you will receive: *Clear and consistent communication from start to finish. *Multiple updates with photos and videos so you always know how your sweetheart is doing. *Respect for your home, your time, and your pets needs. I am obsessive about keeping your home clean and staying only in the areas designated for your pets care. *Someone who will love and care for your pet as much as you do. *A sweet 9 year old playmate named Reina who is up to date on all vaccinations. Will also be groomed before any sit. I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. My love of other peoples pets prompted them to begin to ask me to start dog and cat-sitting. People who are very wary of strangers in their homes have trusted me and were able to take a much needed vacation. I am so happy to be able to fufill this role. Please read the testimonials for more details about the individual pets I have cared for over the years. I am new to Rover, however I have been doing this for a very long time. I only take a limited amount of clients so can can provide the high level of care and attention your pet deserves. If you are looking for a trusted, dependable sitter I am confident you will be happy with the care I provide. Please contact me if you would like to schedule a meet and greet. I have a very flexible schedule (afternoons and evenings are ideal) Since I do not work a 9-5 I am confident we can arrange the time you need sitting. I am only a drop in and stay over sitter. I will leave your home exactly as it was and spoil your dog or cat. You will receive updates via text, email, facetime. Just let me know what your need!
“Great experience. Our dogs are not the easiest to handle and max did an amazing job. This was one of the longest trips we have been on away from our pups, and they were in great hands. Would book again!”


“I'm so grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter for our pets! I can be away with the peace of mind that my pet's are very well cared for. When we get home, they are so calm and without the slightest bit of stress.”

About: Hi pet parents! I'm a dependable, compassionate animal lover who treats every pet like family. Although I'm new to Rover, I've spent years caring for animals. I fostered 2 cats (one of them became my foster fail baby!) and I rescued my dog. Caring for pets with different personalities—including my dog's anxiety and fear-based behaviors—has taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of positive reinforcement. I've also worked with a professional behavior trainer, giving me experience understanding dogs of all kinds. I'm certified in pet CPR and first aid, so your pet's safety is always a top priority. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a leisurely stroll, playtime, or companionship while you're away, I'll follow their routine and provide plenty of love and attention. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I know trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, and I'm committed to caring for them as if they were my own. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I have a pretty open schedule weekday mornings up to about 12pm and mostly open availability on weekends. I can be available in the evening as well with some notice. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I offer dog walks and dog / cat drop- in visits in your home. I follow whatever their normal routines are from exercise needs, meals, litter scoops, medication administration and any special instructions you provide. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, and I treat every pet with the same care, patience, and attention I would give my own. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or a senior needing extra care, I'll tailor my approach to meet their individual needs.
“Wendy makes you feel so comfortable, she is great with communication and I couldn’t be happier that she was the one who took care of our cats for us while we were away. I’d definitely call her again and recommend her!”

“Great job by Kamryn, was able to help take care of our cats and even brought in packages from our doorstep while we were out. Very helpful and nice, will be rebooking with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitting/ drop in visits.”

“Olivia has been great with my goldendoodle. She helps my out a few times a week while I am at work. I don’t trust many people with my baby and I trust her! Not only am I happy with her but my girl LOVES her. It is a great feeling knowing that your dog is in good hands. It is such a relief to have found her to help me out.”


About: Pets are family! I grew up with 3 rescue animals and was the primary caretaker of a senior dog for 4 years. I co-fostered and pet-sat cats and dogs in college, and have been an ASPCA volunteer. I prioritize safety and comfort for all animals under my supervision! I work from home Tuesday-Friday and have a fairly flexible schedule to walk and visit for check-in's throughout the day. I am typically not available Friday nights and Saturdays. If I am visiting your home, please provide access instructions and a description of where your pet's toys, treats, and other items are in your home! Please also provide the location of any cleaning supplies in case there were any potty accidents.
“Christen was flexible/accommodating when the timing of our plans changes slightly. She was communicative with updates during her visits and our dog was clearly well taken care of and enjoyed her time with Christen. She was completely calm/at ease when we returned home. We'd definitely have Christen back to look after Claire again.”

About: Hi! I’m Abbey — a lifelong animal lover who grew up with three dogs of my own. I’ve also helped several families, neighbors, and friends with walks, feedings, and check-ins. I’m reliable, caring, and always make sure pets feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I’m available on weekends and during mornings and evenings throughout the week. Whether it’s a quick walk, feeding, or drop-in visit, I’m happy to make sure your pets get the care and attention they need. When caring for pets in their own home, I always follow the owner’s instructions and routines to keep things consistent and comfortable. I make sure pets get fresh water, food, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I treat every home with respect and every pet like my own.

About: I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies who need patience and structure to senior pets who require a gentler routine and extra attention. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable in their normal environment, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I work a serving job at night, which leaves my mornings, afternoons, and much of the evening available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feedings, and quality time with pets. My schedule is flexible during the day, so I’m able to give pets consistent attention and stick closely to their normal routines. I’m also very active, so I enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs and making sure they get plenty of exercise and engagement. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions closely because I know pets are most comfortable in familiar environments. I’m attentive to behavior changes, medication schedules if needed, and making sure pets get enough activity and companionship throughout the day.
About: I love dogs and look forward to meeting your loved one! I plan on treating your pup the way I would treat my own, with love! I love getting a chance to hang out with as many dogs as possible. I have experience in dog watching my family's and friend's dogs and I want to gain more experience. I have a flexible work schedule and can accommodate your pet by dropping in to play, take your dog for a walk, or dog sit. I know what it's like to have a busy and hectic schedule and would love to help you by caring for your pet. I live near trails and like to spend walking them. Your dog will be in responsible hands until you return. I enjoy spending time with puppies as well as senior citizen dogs and every age in between. Please let me know how I can best serve your pet. I work on the road and make my own schedule so I can come visit your pet as often as needed! I love the flexibility in my schedule so that I can have multiple passions I have a cat at home but she is very friendly. I also live in Red Bank so can go for walks around town with your dog!
“I felt very secure for my cats being with them. They were very flexible to our cat's needs. They were a pleasure to work with from the very beginning. Lots of wonderful pictures. Our cats enjoyed their time with them and bonded very early, which was quite surprising, which goes to say how warm and friendly Lexi&Prashant are. Will definitely rebook!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rumson
DON’T THINK. Just press the book button. 💜💜 Leaving my pets is something I genuinely dread because I worry about them so much. Finding someone I trust feels almost impossible. Then I met Nicole. From our very first meet and greet, I knew she was someone special. She has the kindest heart, the warmest smile, and a calm, caring presence that instantly put me at ease. Birds aren’t always the easiest pets to care for, but she embraced them with so much love, patience, and enthusiasm. She treated my babies like they were her own and went above and beyond in ways I never even expected, always asking if there was anything else she could do. For the first time in a very long time, I was actually able to enjoy my trip without worrying. That peace of mind is something you simply can’t put a price on. Nicole is one of those rare people you hope to find in life. The kind of person who makes the world a little brighter simply by being in it. She is genuine, compassionate, dependable, and has the biggest heart. I feel incredibly lucky that she was the one caring for my birds, and I know they’ll be just as excited to see her again as I will. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pets as if they were family, you’ve found her. Don’t think. Just press the book button. 💜

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Rumson on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 11,345 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Rumson. 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.

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.
