“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Yisha! One of my cats is diabetic and needs insulin injections every 12 hours. Yisha stuck to his schedule perfectly (even over a busy holiday weekend), and knowing he was in such good hands made such a difference. She was so gentle and patient with both of my cats, and you could tell she genuinely cared about them. She sent me lots of updates and photos throughout my trip, which I absolutely loved, and I never once had to wonder how they were doing. I knew my cats were being looked after exactly as I would have looked after them myself. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Yisha again, and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and genuinely invested in caring for your pets. Thank you so much, Yisha! ❤️🐾”
“My cats came out for the first time ever. They trust only one other sitter. She is that good! Definitely am going to keep using her in the future.”
“McKenzie is absolutely incredible, and I feel completely at ease every time I leave my cat with her. She sends thoughtful updates, clearly adores cats, and truly came through for me when my flight got delayed and I had a last-minute emergency. I can't say enough good things about her. I'm so grateful everytime Oliver is in her caring hands”
“Aniko is such a blessing! She took such great care of our diabetic cat and was so attentive and loving with him. She was very reliable and on time. She is a great person who truly cares about animals and I would highly recommend her. Thank you Aniko!”
“Daisy is wonderful! Very easy to communicate and attentive to detail 😊 I highly recommend requesting her services next time you are out of town and need your fur babies taken care of 🤗”
“Jill was the perfect cat sitter. Throughout the stay, Jill sent numerous updates and pictures, I felt very at ease leaving my cat. Tigger was also very playful and a great friend to my cat. Overall a great experience and I would 100% use Jill again!”
About: *currently in the process of moving out of NJ to Brooklyn so sadly not taking any more clients, feel free to reach out if your interested I would be open to traveling to certain clients🤍* 🐾 Pet Care Experience Hi! My name is Jesse, I’m 28, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. ❤️ I’ve been surrounded by and caring for various animals throughout my 28 years of being alive coupled with 15+ years of hands-on pet care experience through pet sitting, walking, fostering, and caring for fur children of my own. My experience comes from pet sitting and walking for friends and family, previous fostering, and having fur children of my own. I truly believe pets aren’t just pets — they are our babies and part of our family. 🐾💜 I understand that every animal is different, with their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and needs extra patience, has additional needs, or simply wants to relax and be spoiled — that’s exactly what they will get! I make it a priority to take the time to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for, while also following their individual routines and needs as closely as possible. Making your pet a priority is my priority. 💜 My goal is for every furry guest to feel right at home and go home just as happy as when they arrived. After all, their happiness is my happiness! 😊 I look forward to welcoming your pet as a new addition to my large fur family! While they’re in my care, they’re not just a guest — they’re family to me, too. 🐾💜 🦟 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. Prior to confirming a new booking, I may request verification of current prevention, such as a recent veterinary record, medication receipt, or photo of the current preventative product. This policy helps maintain a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for every animal staying in my home. Since pets share the same environment, preventing the spread of fleas and ticks is an important part of keeping everyone healthy and comfortable. My number one priority is making sure every animal in my care feels safe, loved, comfortable, and genuinely well cared for throughout their stay. ❤️ Thank you for understanding and helping me maintain a safe and healthy environment for all of my furry guests! 🐾💜 Pet care is my full-time commitment and my full time job, so I’m able to offer flexibility when it comes to your schedule and your pet’s individual needs. 🩷 It’s truly an honor and privilege to spend my time caring for animals. Taking care of your fur babies is not just my job — it’s genuinely what I love to do and how I choose to spend my time. I always do my best to make time for you and your precious babies, whether they need walks, playtime, companionship, or simply someone to be there for them. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while making your pet feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. 🐾💗 When caring for your pets, I believe being attentive, thorough, and dependable is incredibly important. I carefully follow your instructions, pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and body language, and make their safety, comfort, and individual needs my top priority. For pets staying in my home, I have plenty of space, toys, and extra rooms where your fur baby can have their own quiet space if they want it. At the same time, my home is their home while they’re here — they’re welcome to relax wherever they’re comfortable and cozy up wherever they please. 🐾💜 I also love taking dogs out for walks, park trips, and even little doggy picnics! During warmer weather, I’m especially mindful of the heat and adjust accordingly, choosing shorter, more frequent walks and making sure your pup stays comfortable and safe. For my feline guests, I’m perfectly happy with a respectful “stare at each other from a distance” relationship 😂 — unless they decide they want cuddles! Then my lap, furniture, or any high-up ledge becomes their personal throne. 🐈💜 Most importantly, I want every pet to be treated like they’re my own and for their stay to feel more like a fun, relaxing vacation than time away from home. I’m always happy to provide regular photos, videos, updates, and even FaceTime so you can stay connected with your fur baby while they’re with me. 🩵 I’m also experienced with administering medication to both cats and dogs when needed, and I have experience understanding animal body language, including through fostering animals who needed extra care and support while recovering or adjusting to a new environment. Experienced with: - 🐾 Special-needs cats & dogs - 🐾 Puppies & kittens - 🐾 Senior animals - 🐈 Cat-friendly pets - 🐾 Rescue animals & animals in training - 🐕 Big dogs - 💜 Pit bulls - 🐾 Caring for multiple dogs and/or cats at once - 💊 Medication administration I’m excited to provide your fur baby with a safe, loving, fun, and comfortable getaway while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re being treated like family. 🩵 Please feel free to ask me any questions before booking — your pet’s needs, safety, and comfort will always be my 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. 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! 🐾💜
About: I grew up loving and surrounded by animals, and learned how to care for them at a young age. I have acted as a dog/cat/fish/plant/house sitter to friends and family in addition to caring about my own pets since I was eleven. I am continuous dog/cat/house sitter for a family of two large, somewhat chaotic, lovable huskies and two cats, that hire me multiple times a year to care for their pets and their home for several days and up to a week at a time, so I have extensive experience with maintaining the care of multiple animals and being entrusted with keeping a home safe simultaneously. While my current circumstances/lifestyle, don’t allow me to have a pet of my own, I jump at every opportunity to express that love and care for the animals of others. I stop and say hi to almost every dog I meet and I love to walk dogs from the shelter in my spare time. I have incredible memory, attention to details, and am very thoughtful and caring, so you can always trust that I will go above and beyond in caring for your beloved pets and home. I’m currently working from home most of the week, so I have flexibility and time to walk your pups, care for your cat, or housesit for you! I love to walk, and am typically very flexible in the mornings and evenings. Like humans, each dog has a personality and needs of its own. I make sure to get to know your pup and cater to their needs :)
“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! ❤️”
“Christine went above and beyond. She was very communicative, punctual, and gave me amazing advice about how to curb some of my cats behavioral issues. Definitely will rebook”
“I completely trust Calvin to look after my two cats while I’m away. I always come back to find them happy and well cared for. He responds quickly and scheduling a visit with him is always easy. I really appreciate his help taking care of my cats.”
“Delphi is so reliable! She is my go to cat sitter for my cat and she does a good job finding him even when he is hiding under the bed scared lol. She provides timely updates and responds very quickly!”
About: I've been a cat and dog owner since I was 7, I always loved animals and I have been through many stages of learning about them. In my life I've had more cats that I rescued from the streets to adopt them and give them a fair life, and with dogs I have the patience to understand them and emphatize with them to become their friend. I'm a student and part time worker looking for a new experience in my life and some new ways of having extra income to survive the city and pay for my own bills. I have a lot of extra time after classes and also some weekends and I'm willing and excited to make this work. I will follow instructions of the owner for extra care and will also add my extra attention to the pet I'm taking care of.
“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.”
About: Hi! My name is Raphael and I love cats & dogs. I currently have two 7-year-old cats - they are sisters & are named Cherry & Suki - and I also occasionally pet sit my wife’s family’s dog, a Schnoodle named Tisbie. Over the years, I’ve also taken care of many of my friends’ pets in NYC. I’m currently working as an editor for my post-production company as well as freelancing in the film industry, and therefore have flexible working hours and can watch your pets whenever is needed. I have an apartment with a pet safety door between both rooms in case separation is needed as well as an outdoor patio that is fenced.
About: I’ve had pets all my life, including some reptiles! I currently take care of two cats and a sweet ball python. I’m great with cats and dogs, and I’m able to correctly give medicine and cut their nails if needed. I know how pets can be the most important part of our lives, and it’s our duty to love them and provide them the best service. I’m doing part time currently, so I’m available Wednesday and Thursday and Saturday and Sunday. I’m mostly available all day during that schedule for any activities! I live in an apartment with my two cats who if needed can be put in a separate room. I always like to sweep and vacuum all areas to avoid due to accumulate, I always like to give them treats an hour before meals, as well as clean their water and food bowls once a day
“Michelle is a fantastic cat sitter! She took excellent care of our cat while we were on a long vacation. We came home to a happy and relaxed kitty. Michelle provided great communication, sent daily pictures and visit reports, and truly connected with our cat. She played with him and also respected his chill time. Michelle is warm, friendly, and a pleasure to work with. She's our go-to cat sitter and we highly recommend her to all cat owners!”
About: I have a calm energy that allows pets to feel safe and comfortable, I have a way with even the most spicy of pets. I always respect their boundaries and love them as they let me. I adopted my cats when they were kittens from the shelter and I have learned all about cat care and behaviors. I lived and cared for two dogs growing up and always loved dogs! I get to watch my close friend’s dog when they leave town and I am proud to have earned the love even with her skeptical nature. I personally use rover as I travel often and I know how important it is to have a reliable sitter! I will provide the upmost care for your loved one, I can’t wait to meet them! I work remotely so I am extremely flexible with my schedule! I can accept same day accommodations and can ensure the best care for your pets schedule. I will ensure your home remains a safe environment for your pets. I will give them time to stretch either by taking them on a walk or playing in the backyard and for my feline friends I will play with if they like too. All feeding schedules and protocols will be followed as instructed!
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have years of personal experience caring for pets, especially cats. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I’m reliable, patient, attentive, and happy to help with feeding, playtime, walks, litter box care, and plenty of affection. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m currently in the office in the city on Mondays and Wednesdays, but I have greater flexibility on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends. I’m happy to accommodate feeding, playtime, litter box care, and drop-in visits around each cat’s normal routine. I know cats thrive on consistency, so I’ll always follow your care instructions closely and make sure your cat gets plenty of attention and feels comfortable while you’re away. I treat every cat and home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, litter care, playtime, and routines, while respecting each cat’s personality and boundaries. I always make sure doors and windows are secure and keep their space clean and comfortable. I’ll also provide regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your cat is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 12 and have experience with dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, and fish! I currently have a puppy, a cat, and three parakeets, so caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I’ve also looked after family members’ and friends pets many times, giving them the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets. I know every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

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!
Katherine is so great with our beloved cat, Lola. We have worked with Katherine a few times now during our travels and will continue to do so! She’s very reliable and communicative, and we feel so much relief when traveling knowing Lola is in such good hands.
Jessica took wonderful care of my two cats while I was away. She was able to coax them out of their shells and sent lots of photo updates, which is always greatly appreciated! I would absolutely use Jessica again and recommend her for your pet sitting needs.
Micaela was amazing! She remembered all the details, wrote up great reports, took lots of photos, and was very communicative and responsive. Iroh immediately took to her during the meet and greet and I can tell by the photos he really enjoyed her cuddles. Thank you, Micaela!
Scott is a super fantastic new best friend for my cat, Miew. She is very happy when he comes to check on her when I'm out of town. I love that he treats her so kindly. I also appreciate that he accepted a booking with very short notice and that he communicates reliably. I definitely recommend Scott to care for your kitty.
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!"
As always, Jessica was amazing with my kittens. She is thorough, trustworthy and she loves cats! Ever since I moved to the region (more than 2 years ago), Jessica is the only catsitter I trust and I have re-booked her multiple times (and will continue to do so).
Monica is a great pet sitter for our cats. She manages the warring factions of our cats well, allowing us to leave home with peace of mind. She sends great pics, timely updates, and is very tidy and clean. She’s got top notch communication and is quite reliable. I’ve booked with her twice now and hope to continue working with her for future pet sitting needs. 10/10 recommend.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Union City is $29 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $39 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 .
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 , 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 .

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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
