“Melissa is one of the best cat sitter on Rover! She showed interest in knowing my cat’s specific behavior, and tailored each visit to make my cat comfortable. At the end my super shy cat was able to bond with her closely. Highly recommended especially if you have shy babies!”
“McKenzie was a fantastic cat sitter. I struggle to leave my cat who requires quite a bit of attention and quality time, and while I was away, she sent thoughtful updates, pictures, and questions throughout her stay, making me feel at ease and that Oliver was truly well-taken care of. When I came back, he was content and quiet, which is a hard ask as he usually gets vocal when anxious or left alone too long which was a testament to her care. Thank you Mackenzie! Would absolutely recommend her.”
“Melissa was amazing and we will definitely book her again. She was so sweet with our new pup Stella and really helped us out in a pinch when our previous dog walker couldn’t make it. She sent great photos and detailed recaps of their walks and play time every day. Communication was quick and easy. She even sent pics and interacted with our cat whom she was not looking in on. Thank you so much Melissa!!”
About: I am a reliable person. If I say i’m coming, I show up. I think animals tend to warm up to me quickly because i’m nurturing. I am a writer, so I am flexible with my work from anywhere during the day, except for the days i’m filming and on set. I have a cat myself at home, i have a 2nd bedroom so i can always use the guest room for your animal if they are not comfortable being around a cat.
About: As the granddaughter of a veterinarian, I have always had the most immense love for animals. Two-Three dogs and cats in the household was quite normal for me growing up. So, when I moved out and I started attending school, I knew, if time and resources permitted, that I would eventually want a pet of my own. The universe provided me with my baby girl nova. A Lab/Pitbull mix with lots of playful energy, kisses and cuddles to give. We embarked in her favorite adventures, car rides, parks, pup cups, and enrichment toys. As I have moved states to pursue higher education, I no longer have the resources to relocate her with me and therefore, she resides in the care of family and a family friend. I know how important it is to have help, community, and the necessary resources when taking care of another living being. Therefore, I wish to help others in any way that I can to care for their own fur baby! As a part-time student, my availability is pretty open. I am unavailable Tuesday/Thursday 11-1pm and Wednesday 10-1 pm. Any other days/time I am available, as long as travel time is accounted for. Each pet is different in terms of their needs. That is why I believe it’s important to follow clear instructions from pet-owners. In my home, pets are respected as fellow residents, and cared for with love:).
About: I’ve been taking care of cats when I was teenagers. My first cat was 17 years old. I just got my new cat, I bought everything for my cat. I am good with keeping everything as clean as possible, vacuum everyday. I also have experience taking care of small dogs. I took care of my step daughter's two Yorkshire Terrier dogs when she was travelling, One of them is more than 10 years old. I fed the dogs and clean the dog's face, comb their hair, play with them. It was fun time. They like me more than my husband, haha. I’m free after work, I work at Wall street Manhattan, living near Fort Lee NJ. I will be available after work Monday to Friday, weekends will be more flexible. I bought everything automatic for my cat. The automatic litter box, I clean it every day. Water fountain has filter, I wash and change the water every 3 to 4 days with boiled water (cooling down) due to my cat only has one kidney. Cat food, I feed him with wet can food twice a day and with dry food automatic feeding. I mix different cat food due to his sensitive stomach.
“Taylor went above and beyond watching our two cats! She gave detailed reports every day and looked after them as if they were her own. I can’t recommend her enough, she was the best Rover sitter we’ve ever booked.”
“Nicole was wonderful during her drop in with our 4 yr old Samoyed. Our pup instantly took to her and Nicole was so kind, patient with her barking, and very attentive to our routine. She is super communicative, punctual, and gave our pup all of her attention. We had peace of mind that our pup was safe and will definitely book Nicole again!”
“Letizia took care of my cat Nutmeg over Christmas and was absolutely lovely! Really communicative, friendly, and great with animals. Very thankful for her last minute availability too :)”
About: Hi, Thanks for checking out my profile. I have 10 years experienced with cats and have cared for all types of dogs from shy seniors to energetic pups. For dog walks, I go at your dog’s pace whether that’s a long, fun adventure, or a relaxed sniff around, or just a quick potty break. I’m mindful of leash safety, weather, and making sure every walk is enjoyable. I also offer drop-in visits for potty breaks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away. Your pet will get my full focus, I co-parent my own pets with family, so there won’t be any other animals in the home, just calm, safe, and plenty of love. My partner has vet office experience, so giving meds or helping shy or sensitive dogs feel comfortable is no problem. I’m minutes from dog parks and have a secure fenced yard for safe outdoor play. Pick-up and drop-off are also available. I’m happy to send photos and videos or check in however you like, so you can relax knowing your furry one is happy. My goal is simple: lots of love, plenty of play, and a safe, stress free stay where your pet feels right at home. I love having pets as part of my day, and walking them on the side is not only a great way to earn extra income, but also something I genuinely enjoy. It keeps me active, brings joy to my routine, and lets me give pets the attention and care they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s routine closely so their day feels familiar and stress-free.
“Lisa is the ultimate bestest of the best! She is a bonafide lover of dogs and take to her like a magnet. She is able to take on my crazy Great Dane in walks and has patience with my pitbull who decides to be a boat anchor on her walks. I trust Lisa with caring for our fur babies and home while out of town. she is ultra-responsible and communicative. Choose Lisa for you dog sitter/walker needs— you will be very glad you did.”
“I was so happy to find Emelin in the neighborhood to take care of our 2 cats during our trip. She is communicative, helpful, and took great care of our fur babies! This was the longest we’ve ever been separated from our cats so it was amazing to find someone we could trust with our cats and home.”
“Norma did drop-in visits for our cat during our two week vacation. She did a fantastic job! Her communication was excellent throughout the entire processed and the questions she asked in preparation made it clear that she genuinely cares about taking care of pets. She was very attentive with our cat and kept us updated even with the smallest details. We felt that our cat was very well taken care of and highly recommend Norma for your pet-sitting needs!”
“Jazmin did a phenomenal job taking care of my year-old cat while I was away for a long weekend! She sent me pictures everyday, and kept me in the loop with a short note on how everything was going. Her consistent communication also helped reassure my cat was well taken care of. Thanks again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was in middle school, I currently have a lovely Bernese Mountain puppy that I have been caring for since last year. I’m currently a part-time student, so I will have plenty of time during the day to take care of your pet! I'm currently open to full-day walks, visits, care, and any overnight needs your pet may require! My schedule is super flexible and open to change! I live in an apartment within a 10 minute walk of Laurel Hill Park, have a crate setup if needed, and have the sweetest Berner pup that can keep your dog company. I'm a very clean and detail-orientated person, I tend to clean any spaces I'm in regardless of what I'm expected to do.
About: I am my neighborhood’s designated pet watcher and I also own three big dogs of my own. I have experience with very energetic dogs as well as dogs with anxiety. My dog Bear has epilepsy so unfortunately, I am used to giving medication and taking care of his special needs. I am a college student at Columbia University working a part-time remote job this summer with the US government. My schedule is super flexible. I wanted to find another job that I would always enjoy. I am currently working a part-time remote job at a consulting firm this summer. I am a rising junior in college with a car and loads of time. I am willing to drive just about anywhere and make sure your beloved pets are safe while you are away. I am very reliable, prompt and professional.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Secaucus
Rachel is the best! I typically have a family member watch my two cats while I’m away, so this was new for me to trust someone I did not know with my two little loves. Rachel went above and beyond, in every way. My Rover Card was so descriptive and included tons of pictures. She took better care of my apartment than even I do, haha! An absolute pleasure to communicate with, and so receptive to adjusting to some unexpected speed bumps. She takes her responsibility very seriously and that offered me the peace of mind that I needed while being away. Thank you again Rachel!
Kristen is amazing! My cat is typically shy around new people and will hide. Kristen is basically a cat whisperer and my cat instantly warmed up to her and played during each visit, which made me soooooo happy and feel comfortable while leaving Maxey alone. Will 10000% be using Kristen in the future!
Chi Leuk did a fantastic job dropping in to take care of Coconut! He was extremely patient, careful, and attentive throughout the entire visit. He followed all instructions provided and made sure Coconut was well-fed and comfortable. You can tell he truly cares about the animals in his care. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and considerate sitter!"
Jose was great, would definitely book again! He was responsive, caring, and communicative, sending pictures and videos during every visit with our cat. This was only our second time booking through Rover, so I expected our skittish cat to hide, but he warmed up to Jose super quickly! Jose also took the time for a meet and greet when I first reached out, which really put me at ease. He even let us know right away about a random throw up and offered to clean it up (I told him to just leave it lol). Thank you so much, Jose!!
We couldn’t be happier with Ruth! My husband and I went away on a long vacation, and knowing that Duchess and Gordo were in her hands gave us so much peace of mind. From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable and reassured. She was always punctual, and after every visit she sent us the sweetest pictures and detailed updates about how our babies were doing. It honestly made our day to see them happy and relaxed while we were so far away. She spent time playing with them, giving them attention, and keeping them company, and we could tell that she genuinely cared about them. Coming home to two happy, well-cared-for cats meant so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful to Ruth for taking such wonderful care of Duchess and Gordo, and we would absolutely trust her with them again. We highly, highly recommend her! ❤️

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Secaucus is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $48 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
