About: I work from home 5 days a week which will allow your dog to get constant attention and love. Having cared for my own dog I understand how difficult it is to leave with someone else. I currently work from home 5 days a week and will be able to attend to your dogs needs. I can take them out for plenty of potty breaks. Since I work from home your dog will get plenty of attention. I live in a very dog friendly community that is great for walks. I will always keep your dog on a secure leash whenever outdoors.
“Excellent cat sitter! Communicative, sent daily photo updates, and followed all instructions perfectly. My cat was happy and well-cared for. Highly recommend and I will be booking Sara’s services again!”
About: I am a reliable pet sitter. I have cared for multiple furry friends going back about 10 years. I have experience caring for both dogs (small, medium, and large) and cats. I primarily have hosted animals in my house, but I also have experience going to other houses to care for animals. I love animals and I can't wait to connect with you! I’m currently working part time, but I have ample time to take care of your pets. I work in the morning from 7-9 and in the afternoon from 2:30-6:30, but will always have family home to assist in caring for pets. I have a fenced in spacious yard for your furry friends to play in. I have a pet friendly home with plenty of room. My furniture, if your pets are allowed on, is comfy for animals.
“I have booked Caleigh multiple times when we travel. She has been very reliable and super good with my cats. I always felt amazed about how great the cat photos were. She is such a great pet photographer. Ever since I met Caleigh, I try to book her first whenever she has availability. I would highly recommend Caleigh to everyone.”
“Jessica took great care of my two cats while I was away for the weekend. She gave them lots of play and affection, kept them well fed and watered, and kept the litter box clean. She even left a homemade cat toy for them!”
“Marlee was an excellent cat sitter. She sent lots of photos and gave detailed reports of what went on at each drop in. She also brought in our packages and mail, and spent quality time with our kitty. She was very responsive over text which made me feel at ease. I would definitely book her again!”

About: I've had dogs all my life, the most recently i had a awesome miniature poodle who I was fortunate to love and care for 17 years, so I am familiar with the needs of senior dogs. My schedule is fairly open every day after about 9 or ten am. I'd like a regular opportunity, but one offs will be good as well I am available for pet sitting at the clients home, but due to younger kids I can accommodate pets at my home. Walking and feeding and playing is ideal

Caleigh is awesome, highly recommend!! She’s so sweet, nice, and patient with my two cats, trying to know them and respect their own personalities. Also, one of my cats is on treatment right now, and requires diff drugs, and she is amazing with burrito them and giving them drug! Caleigh is also very easy to communicate and accommodate various caring tips for my cats! I am soooooo happy and grateful that I found her! Thank you for taking care of my babies!
Words cannot express my gratitude for Erika not only taking care of my Mr. Chauncey but of my home as well. From our meet and greet all the way to the end of the contract, Erika kept in touch, took care of Mr. Chauncey’s feeding and litter box needs and also took the time to give him a little attention. As an added bonus, I came home to a clean and organized home which made coming back from vacation that much more glorious. I can’t wait to work with her again for all my future pet sitting needs and would recommend her ten times over!!
Last-minute trip and poor planning on our part, but Victoria came through for us. She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of our kitties while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!
Sheila took wonderful care of our cats for a little over two weeks, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She is incredibly meticulous, genuinely loves animals, and went above and beyond what was required to make sure our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She also kept an eye on our home and alerted us to a water leak in time, which we truly appreciated. We felt completely at ease knowing both our cats and our home were in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommended.
Maria was a wonderful sitter for our cat Mary! We had total piece of mind on our trip. It was clear from the updates and pictures that Mary found a new friend and was totally content and comfortable with Maria! She's incredibly kind and responsive and we will definitely use her again in the future!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Scotch Plains on Rover is $17.76 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 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 September 2026, there are 12,109 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Scotch Plains. 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.

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 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.
