“Cristina is amazing! She’s got great availability and is so awesome with our kitties. She always makes sure to play with them and noticed when things are off, like a possible medical issue or piece of trash they might chew on. I highly recommend her - I always know my cats are in good hands!”

About: Hello - I'm Abbie. I have recently left the corporate world to pursue my graduate degree full time and reside in Cranford, NJ. I am a proud dog mom to one doggie - Kai - who absolutely adores other dogs. He uses Rover too when I am away! I have been taking care of animals since I could remember! Growing up in an animal lover household, I have had birds, turtles, bunnies, cats, and dogs. I got my first pet when I was 5 years old; a bunny named Chocolate. I am sadly away from my animals in my home. At my family home, I have a yorkie named Dexter and many silkie chickens; Dobby, Tori, and Sunshine just to name a few! Throughout my undergrad, I also lived with my roommate's Aussie named Asher whom I bathed, walked, and played lots of fetch with. I started house sitting when I was in high school for my neighbors and family-friends on vacations/weekends. I trained my dog Dexter on my own when I was 15 years old and am used to bringing him on daily walks! I am happy to walk, bathe, cuddle, and feed your pet along with any other services you would need. I have a strong love for all animals big and small and will treat them like my own (and so will Kai) Since I am a graduate student, my schedule is very fluid. I have classes in the evenings mostly and my weekends are quite free. Since I have a dog of my own, I am already up around 7-8AM for morning walks a food. I walk my dog at least 1 hour a day - one long walk during lunch time and another in the evening after dinner. I rent a home with an unfenced yard. I already take Kai on 2-3 walks a day. I will be able to walk your furry friend as well!

About: Hi! I’m Rebecca! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, and I’m currently a proud pet mom to three of my own—a dog and two cats. ❤️🐶🐱🐱 I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whether your pup needs a walk and some playtime, your cat needs a little company, or your pets need someone reliable to check in on them, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. What you can expect from me: 🐾 Lots of love, attention & playtime 📸 Photos and updates during every visit 📝 Following feeding, medication, potty, and other routines carefully 💕 Patience with shy, nervous, energetic, or cuddly pets 🏡 Respect for your home and your instructions I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands. I’d love to meet you and your furry family! 🐾❤️ During the week, I work as a paraprofessional at the Matheny School in Peapack-Gladstone, New Jersey. I’m typically at work by 8:30 AM and finish around 4:00 PM. I’m available for pet care before work, on my way to work, and after work, making it easy to accommodate morning walks, drop-ins, evening walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of cuddles! Weekends are generally very flexible, and I’m usually available for longer visits, walks, drop- ins, and extended care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s individual routine and schedule whenever possible. 🐶🐱💕 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and any special needs or preferences your pet may have. I’m attentive to their behavior and surroundings and will always prioritize their safety. I also believe communication is important! I’ll keep you updated during visits and send photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect and care I would want someone to show my own home. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. ❤️🐾

“Courtney was great with our cats! This is the first time we've returned from a trip and they weren't mad at us — I think because they liked Courtney so much. It was such a relief to get the pictures and see how happy they looked. We also had a bit of a curveball when one of the cats was diagnosed with an ear infection and needed meds. But that didn't deter Courtney, she even spent extra time with him so he would feel comfortable and not just associate her with the ear drops.”

About: Growing up I have had 4 dogs and 6 cats total. Currently I have 2 cats of my own and I babysit my parents 2 dogs and 2 cats. They onboard at my house whenever they need too. I also take care of my neighbors cat regularly when they travel abroad. I am available to do home visits every day before 830am after 5pm during the week. Weekends I am fully available. I am a full time Registered Nurse. I take care of people full time and would love to help take care of your mini family member part time :) I’m currently working full time 8:30-5pm as a Registered Nurse. I go home for lunch from 12:30-1:30. I am home all weekend long. I am available to do home visits before 830 am and after 5pm on week days and fully available on the weekend:) I have a fully fenced in yard for your dogs to run around in. I have a large pet bed for inside as well as a large crate if needed! If I am visiting your home for pet care I encourage a camera to be there to ensure you are comfortable with me being in your home. I would only enter allowed rooms and make sure your fur baby is doo g great and in pristine health.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Somerset

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Somerset on Rover is $19.98 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 6,077 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Somerset. 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 Somerset. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
