Second time using Tez! Our cat is an elder cat and she took such good care of him even though he needs a little extra care. I will hire Tez any time we go away!!

Melissa was so great with my two cats! One of my cats is super shy so Melissa made sure to note when she would come out or not. So it was really reassuring seeing her updates and pictures of them while I was gone :) And my cats were happy to have her around too!!

Baris is truly exceptional. Holly absolutely loves him! The best proof are the binkies the moment he enteres her playpen. If you know rabbits, you know that’s the ultimate sign of trust and happiness. This was the second time I traveled and booked with him, and I will continue to do so. He is always on time and sends real-time pictures during his visits, and let me tell you, he is the best bun photographer I’ve ever seen! It’s such a comfort to be away and receive beautiful photos of my fluff girl. If you want to travel and truly relax knowing your pet is in loving hands, Baris is your person. Thank you, Baris! Until next time! :)

Alena was simply amazing with my cat Athena. She took care of her for over a week and always made sure she was happy and well cared for. After every drop-in, she would let me know how everything went, send me amazing pictures, and provide a detailed update. You can tell Alena truly loves animals. She’s caring, polite, and incredibly attentive. I felt completely at ease knowing Athena was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Alena to anyone looking for a wonderful and reliable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Alena!

About: I've always been the type of person to greet every living thing with a waving hello to a cow, smiling at the turtles at the pond, and asking your pet's how their day has been. Since I've stared on Rover, I've had the pleasure of meeting many pets through repeated housesitting, and going out for walks. Every pet is unique with their own needs and wants. I'm attentive and pay close attention to any scheduled meal plans, checking in on their stool, and make sure everything is clean. If you ever have any concerns, I'm available to answer your questions :) At the moment I'm available at anytime, so any scheduled weekly routines or long periods of housesitting would work with me. If you have any trips coming up please let me know, I'll be happy to work with you. I see your pets as your family, so I care for them very dearly and make sure they have all the love and attention they need. I'm always taking notice if they want a treat, need a walk, or want some social times with other dogs their size. If they simply need company, I'll make sure they have everything they need, and create a nice, warm, relaxing vibe for them where they feel comfortable. Depending on how you like things to be done, I would love to follow your lead with whatever makes you feel comfortable. I want you to know that you and your pet are in good hands.

About: I am very reliable, punctual, trustworthy, and flexible! I love dogs, but never had to chance to have one since I grew up with a mom being terrified of dogs. However, that didn't stop me from spending time with dogs and animals outside of my home. I have had some experience volunteering at the local animal shelter in college and have done multiple dog sittings for my friends and neighbors. I already enjoy walking around the city and would love to have your pupper around for additional company! I would love to have the opportunity to care for and provide some love to your pup and keep them happy! I am also currently a PAWS Volunteer in Philly for both cats and dogs. I also can petsit cats too! I will follow all instructions and will adhere to any specific requests you may have for your pet! If I am scheduled off that day, I have the entire day to take care of your pet. Whether it's stopping by the place to change your cat's litter, or walking your dog, I am pretty flexible on the days that I am available. Safety is my number one priority for your pet. I will make sure to adhere to any specific instructions you may have, whether it's keeping your dog away from other dogs, or ensuring your home is appropriately locked up after my visit.

Prior to confirming a new booking, I may request some form of verification of current prevention, such as a recent veterinary record, medication receipt, or photo of the current preventative product. This policy is in place as a preventative measure to help maintain a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for every animal staying in my home. Because pets are sharing the same environment, preventing the spread of fleas and ticks is an important part of keeping everyone healthy and comfortable during their stay. My number one priority is making sure every animal in my care feels safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay—and ultimately goes home just as happy, if not happier, than when they arrived. ❤️ Thank you so much for understanding and helping me maintain a safe and healthy environment for all of my furry guests! 🐾 I have a pretty flexible schedule and for me its an honor and a privilege to spend my time taking care of your sweet fur babies ! taking care of animals is my favorite thing to do and its the best use of my free time, I always want to make time to fit you and your precious babies into my schedule ! 🩷 when caring for your animals its important that im very good and thorough at following instructions and making sure im always paying attention to the animal(s) in more ways then one, as well as making sure they are safe and always properly cared for...as for pet sitting at my place I have alot of space, toys and extra rooms for your fur babies to have their own space if they want it but my home is their home so they can hangout wherever ! they are always welcome to cozy up wherever they please. I also love going to the park and theirs many in my area to choose from for good walks or doggy picnics, with the summer heat im very cautious when walking to make sure doing more frequent short walks instead of long walks to avoid any issues with heat...with cats im down for a chill respectful "stare at eachother from a distance" haha (unless they want cuddles) then my lap or any of my furniture or high up ledges is their throne haha for me the most important thing is that every pet gets treated like their my own and it should feel like a vacation away from home ! always happy to provide constant updated photos/video/facetime etc with you and your fur baby 🩵 im also experienced in giving cats/dogs medicine if they ever need that as well as training in understanding that kind of body language as I have fostered a few animals back to health and just fostered for the sake of doing it, im excited to provide a loving fun get away for your fur baby 🩵 Experienced with -special needs cats/dogs -puppies/kittens -senior animals -cat friendly🐈💜 -rescue animals in training -big dog friendly -pit bull friendly💜 -experience handling multiple dogs/cats at once ( feel free to ask me any questions before booking, your pets needs and comfortability is priority ) Flea & Tick Prevention Policy For the health, safety, and comfort of every pet in my care, I require all dogs staying for boarding or daycare to be actively receiving flea and tick prevention.

About: Give your pets the Excitement and Excersize they need. I can guarantee long walks, safe trips, and fun filled time. I am patient, loving, gentle and outgoing with my furry friends. As they are a member of your family they are treated as such in my home. Giving them the time and attention they deserve they will have so much fun with me, they will not even realize they left home. I have been pet sitting and dog walking for several years for close friends and relatives so i do know that some dogs need special attention.With your busy schedule and my love for our furry friends lets make life alittle more stress free by putting the paws of our pets in the right hands. Any specific routes they like to take, any favorite parks? Let me know and i will be happy to accomodate. I look foward to meeting you and your loved one When I don't have a booking on Rover, I do deliveries, which I make.my.own schedule on. This means when I have a booking I am not doing deliveries I am either in my home or yours with your pet the entire stay. When I have a stay or a sitting I stay with your pet the entire time unless I have a quick errand to run. If the dog can fit in a carry bag I take them with me everywhere unless they have travel anxiety. If I have to leave I put the TV on so they hear something happening in the background and don't feel alone. They are allowed on my furniture and most likely will sleep on my bed. When I have a Drop in if the dog is in a cage I let them out to play, feed them and provide water. After they are done I'll clean their bowls. If they are in a cage I put them back in and secure the cage. I follow any instructions that are provided by the owner. When I have walks I follow the lock box instructions, enter the home slowly and make sure not to open the door wide in case of any loose pets. If they are caged I find the leash and harness and let them out to put it on. Follow any walking instructions given by owner such as triggers, keeping on a tight leash, distraction from other dogs with positive reinforcement and treats etc. If their are cage instructions I follow them as well. Any service provided, there is garunteed great energy given to your pet through the entire booking.

Valerie is a wonderful person and care giver. My cat actually looked behind me for Valerie. My cuddles has never been interested in watching TV before. But Valerie found a channel on YouTube for him. She sent me pictures of him watching a cartoon fish program. She maintained his liter box and his feeding to perfection. It's no small feet to trust .

My own pet is AKC Caine Good Citizen Certified and I have a research background in dog Vet Care and can make adjustments to care based on breed and any current health issues.

So happy with Rachel. My cats needed a little extra attention as they had been home alone during the day longer than normal. They were so happy and relaxed when I would get home in the evening. I think they now expect a visit everyday. It eased my mind that when I have to travel they will have someone who will take care of them and they enjoy.

Rebecca was fantastic! She checked in a few days before to ensure everything was good to go and we found I needed a lock box for my keys, she had an extra one and let me borrow it! When I was overseas she would check in on my sweet ole lady everyday, provide her with her medicine and vitamin with the addition of 7 pictures everyday! I’ll definitely utilize her services again, and next time have a lock box of my own.

Daisy is a dedicated and communicative sitter to our little cat Stella! We are beyond happy with her care and communication during our time away, from her giving any flags of concern to extra attention to make Stella feel more comfortable (i.e. sitting next to her so she’ll eat!). I would absolutely recommend Daisy to anyone looking for drop in visits for their cat.

Tez is amazing! My cats were feral, so they take some time for them to warm up to people and Tez has taken her time over the years to become best friends with them. We can barely pick up our cats and she was just recently able to pick up one of them so I think that speaks volumes to how good she is with cats. She has also been super nice in watering our plants a few times and bringing up our packages while we are away. I highly highly recommend Tez, your cats are missing out if you’re not using her as a sitter! One of our cats was even on Lexapro for some time and Tez was really good with giving him pills.

Lauryn did a great job taking care of my cats. One of my cats is usually very shy and hides whenever someone visits, but he quickly warmed up to Lauryn and even spent time hanging out with her. This same cat can also create a mess, and Lauryn went above and beyond by cleaning up. Lauryn also shared photos and detailed notes through the Rover card, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated her care and would recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Secaucus on Rover is $27.75 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 12,481 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Secaucus. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Secaucus. On Rover:

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.
