“Kimberley was great with our 2 cats. One of the cats is usually very shy but she ended up coming out and didn’t hide which I was very happy about. Everything was done well for the care of our cats. Thank you!”

“We had an excellent experience and feel so lucky to have found Sara to watch out cat. She stayed overnight and during the day, and took truly wonderful care of our cat. He is very social and attached, and she gave him so much attention and care that we came home to a happy, relaxed cat. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly very thoughtful about his needs. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for attentive, trustworthy care.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs from having my own dog in China and taking care of dogs for friends and family. Although my own dog is currently in China, caring for dogs has always been an important part of my life.I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs. I always follow the pet parent’s instructions and prioritize safety, comfort, and a positive experience for every dog I care for. I offer both dog walking and drop-in visits, including feeding, refreshing water, bathroom breaks, playtime, and companionship. I would be happy to provide reliable and caring pet care services to families in the Manalapan area. I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs and cats, as well as pets belonging to friends and family. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual routine and personality. Whether it’s a walk, feeding, fresh water, playtime, or a drop-in visit, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I always put your pet’s safety and well-being first. I’m responsible, respectful, and dependable, and I carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s routine. I pay close attention to your pet during every walk or visit, make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and keep their food, water, toys, and personal space organized. I’ll treat your pet and your home with care and keep you updated during each visit.

I’m a college student with a part-time job, and I plan my schedule to make time for pet care. I’m available on Mondays after class, Thursdays after 3:00PM, and Saturday mornings.

About: I have such a big heart for animals and a connection to them with a passion for taking care of any type of animal! I grew up taking in rescues with my family at home. We have rescued a senior yorkie, four kittens, and a deaf kitty. I currently have one 4 year old maltipoo at home and one goldfish! In the past we had fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, and lizards at home. Throughout the years I love participating in anything involving innocent fur babies. For two years I pet sit my sisters french bulldog with GI issues and my brothers cat. At the same time I was in a P.A.W.S (protecting animals without stability) club in high school. I currently volunteer at two animal shelters since 2022. After high school I pursued an associates degree in Biology while participating in a veterinary assistant program. I graduated the program and continued on to getting my first full time job at a veterinary hospital as an approved veterinary assistant! Therefore, I have knowledge on animal anatomy, sickness and care procedures. I plan to complete my Biology degree while working full time and helping to take care of your fur babies 💗 I am currently in school pursuing a science degree while working part time at a hospital. I pet sit, house sit and dog walk. I am available weekdays and weekends for any help you need with your fur babies. I am very flexible and work around school to continue my passion of animal care. I will make sure to socialize and spend quality time your pets. I will take them on energetic walks and make sure they are fed and comfortable!

“Lisa Marie was excellent with our two high-energy dogs! She was prompt and a great communicator. She sent lots of pictures of our pups so we could see they were having a great time and gave thorough reports on how the drop-in visits went. Some of the pics she sent were actually frame-worthy!! Thank you for taking such great care of Linkin and Hudson!”

About: Hello! Im Alissa :) I am a huge animal lover that can’t wait to help you with you and your pets needs! I have cared for and loved many animals from dogs to cats, reptiles, rodents and more ! I’m looking forward to getting to know your little companions unique personality and funny quirks but most importantly making sure they feel comfortable and safe. Since I was a little girl I looked for anyway to take care of animals, for instants, while my sister was in cheer practice I was going around asking if people wanted me to watch, walk or play with their dog and was very successful lol. Growing up I mostly stayed helping only friends and family with pet sitting but now I think it’s time to help others! Through the years I’ve had dogs, cats, rats, hermit crabs, snakes, geckos and much more. My goal in life is to have a farm or a rescue so I can care for many animals and make sure they all get to experience the wonderful life they deserve. I’m looking forward to becoming a trusted friend to both you and your four legged companion! I am currently in school to become a dental hygienist and my school hours did not align with the required hours for my job. Therefore I am looking for a new opportunity with more of a flexible schedule and I’d love to give my open time to care for your little companions :) I am enrolled in a weekend program so I am more available on the weekdays with a few hours on the weekends! Your pets’ safety, comfort and trust will always be my top priority! I unfortunately do not offer boarding in my own home since I live with my grandma and have animals of my own. I want to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable. However, I’m more than happy to stay in your home, where your little companions are already familiar with their surroundings and can feel most relaxed. I’m also big on sending plenty of pictures, videos and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your babies are happy, safe, and getting lots of love while you’re away!

About: I have been caring for my own pets for my entire life and have been pet sitting since I was fourteen. I formerly majored in Animal Science/Pre-vet at UConn before switching to an ecology degree, so helping animals is my life’s mission! I also have clinical experience working as a veterinary technician, so I am comfortable handling animals and making sure any medical needs are taken care of. Each and every pet deserves the same degree of love, care, and affection, and I would love to look after your furry friend! I am on break from college so my days are free to look after your pets! For house sits, I may on occasion have to go out for an errand or two, but I usually will not be away for more than an hour. I am happy to offer around the clock care if that is necessary. I currently cannot accept other pets into my own home, but I will be sure to treat your home with respect and follow any guidelines you may have, such as if pets are allowed on furniture, etc.

About: For over 10 years I've been involed with pet care, primarily in the form of Trap Neuter Release (TNR) for backyard litters of kittens and the caring that came along with it; bottle feeding, medication schedules and rehoming. In additon, I have had animals of all kinds throughout childhood including hamsters, birds, dogs, cats, and even rabbits. I have dealt with everything from puppy stages, kitten care, rabbit care, to senior dogs with disabilities. I got my own dog almost three years ago, a rescue from an abusive home, in addition to the family pets. She has taught me so much on caring for animals that need extra patience or time with others. Currently home from college which offers a flexible schedule and plenty of time dedicated to your little friends! I’m available throughout the week for feedings, walks, playtime, drop-ins, or all-day sitting. I prioritize the pet’s comfortability with me, making sure they feel safe and calm. I follow any and all directions given by owners to ensure our little friend's routine is upkept and uninterupted. I love to take the time to build trust through gentle interaction and patience, especially with the skiddish ones (my own included). Furthermore, I am always prepared to respond calmly and responsibly in case of any emergencies.

About: I’m a responsible Rutgers college student offering dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-ins. I love spending time with animals and will treat your pets like my own while you’re away. I’m available every day on a flexible summer schedule for dog walking, drop-ins, and basic pet care. I’ll keep my availability updated and am happy to discuss your pet’s routine ahead of time to make sure I can provide reliable, consistent care. I take safety and trust seriously and will follow each owner’s instructions carefully. During walks, drop-ins, or stays, I’ll make sure pets have fresh water, proper leash or harness use, potty breaks, and a calm environment. I’m happy to send updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and am a huge dog lover. As I have yet to get a pup of my own, I’ve been sitting for family, friends, and family friends for more than 5 years, where I mainly housesit. I’ve had experience watching dogs of all ages, from grumpy seniors with medication to lively puppies who need extra clean up time, to anxious Covid babies. I am very detail-oriented as I respect that each dog has their personal routine and want to ensure that not much is disrupted for them when I visit/stay. I understand the importance of keeping in contact with owners (only to the extent that you wish to be contacted) throughout the day. I guarantee that I will take plenty of photos of your pet and will be happy to share them! Note: I am based in LES, NYC for the summer. I work fully remotely, so I'm flexible to working with your pet's schedule when housesitting. I'm available for afternoon walks, or to come to housesit from the evenings usually. I'm also willing to travel to housesit (I've travelled to DC before!), though this would require travel coverage as part of compensation. ***For house sits of 1 week or longer, I ask owners to support in covering my meals. Gift cards or a stocked fridge are very much appreciated! *** I tend to ask clients for a document with their pet's daily routine, and how their behaviours are. I will care for your pets as you would advise to care for them in order to maintain consistency and not confuse them. Afterall, I am the guest in staying in their space should I be housesitting. For walks and drop-ins, I would like to also respect your pet's routine and ensure that they are comfortable and at ease.

About: I have a plethora of experience in the pet care industry. From dog sitting since I was a teenager to becoming an animal care manager for an animal shelter, I have taken care of animals and pets in many different settings. I will take care of your pets as if they are my own! I am a certified animal control officer who has dealt with difficult situations and handled difficult animals with care. Rest assured I will take care of your pets with the utmost responsibility while making your animals feel comfortable and loved. I work nights so I can take care of animals throughout the morning and afternoon and even stop by later at night. My schedule is very flexible so I can provide full time pet care with enough notice! I will make sure to take care of your pets exactly as you would. I have a medicated senior dog myself who is spoiled beyond belief but with my experience in a shelter environment I have had to adapt to my pet care tactics on a case by case basis. I’m someone who will follow your directions to a T as you know your pets the best.

About: I really adore making connections with animals. I’ve looked after friends and family’s pets many times, whether I dropped in to give some pets and treats or stayed a few nights to keep them company. Apart from my own cat Jade, there’s lots of strays in the area that my neighbors and I help feed and look after. I also live very close to the SPCA in case of emergencies. I love being active and having an excuse to take a walk or play with your loved ones. I work an 8am-4pm office job. I work from home every Thursday, and am off Saturdays and Sundays. Would be able to stop by after work, spend nights, go on walks and to parks, or just to chill and give your pet some company while you’re away! I’m very careful about having scraps and trash cleaned up to avoid any eating or swallowing. I don’t keep many hazardous plants or products in my home. I have many soft spaces for dogs or cats to lay or hide, very calm and quiet in the home and neighborhood as well. I’m always giving my cat attention, and check up on her paws, teeth, ears, and normal behavior every day to make sure she’s okay

About: I am different from other sitters because I care about both pet and caregiver. I know what's it's like to leave a loved one to a stranger so I deeply care about open communication and lots of photos for updates! Due to other commitments from 3-8, I am available M-F at 8 am to 3 pm and then later on from 8 pm to 10 pm. On weekends my schedule is completely open! I make sure the pet is always at eye level to me. Double check everything is secure and where they're supposed to be. I will make sure that nothing dangerous is nearby.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Tennent

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Tennent is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $28 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 690 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Tennent. 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 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.

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

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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 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.
