About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I love to play and take care of them! Dogs are a huge part of my happiness! I am a student at Rowan University and I commute to come back home and play with my loving pets! They are my safe space. I am able to make a safe and fun environment for dogs! I love to bathe my pets so they’re fur always smells fresh and clean.
“Katia was a literal godsend for us. This was our first time trying Rover and having someone stop over to care for our cats while on vacation. This may be the first time in years where we literally had no stress regarding the care our cats were receiving. Katia was on time for every appt., and kept us updated throughout our whole trip. Katia will definitely be our go to cat sitter for any future getaways.”
“Yara was fantastic with our three cats! My husband and I felt so reassured knowing she was watching them while we were away. I would recommend Yara to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you, Yara!”
About: Greetings pet pawrents!! My name is Rin I’m a Jersey local dog handler and trainer! My son Goku, local dogs, and dogs at work experience (dog hotels, walking, training, boarding) are motive to keep doing what I do. Dog handling is care out of love. Luci and Goku are my dear children that I revolve my daily routine around. Working at a pet hotel, babysitting for friends and neighbors who have pets, dog walking, dog training, animal bathing, and pet check-ins. Are all apart of my daily life! Caring and nurturing animals everyday are just steps towards my dreams of being an exotic vet. my dog loves other dogs especially since he goes to work with me and hangs out with dogs! If I came to a clients home and they preferred it private my dog would stay home with my roommates.
“SirJahad was an incredible cat sitter for us! With this being our first time having someone not family watch our girl, she was attached to him from the meet and greet. We received videos and photos with daily updates throughout the day. I would highly recommend using SirJahad! We will in the future for sure!”
“Chris was great! He communicated readily during the entire time we were away. We felt like our two cats were in great hands. We will definitely use Chris again when we go away.”
“Thanks for a great home stay. My babies were well cared for and happy and healthy when I got home. I have a very picky eater so this is a real concern for me when I leave! My home was in great shape when I returned too! Appreciate all the extra care and attention! I highly recommend Meghan if your looking for a Housesitter!”
About: I grew up owning cats and dogs my entire life. As an adult, I’ve been a pet owner for the past 20 years. My dog that has since passed away was a Jack Russell that was in my wedding serving is the ring barer. I currently have two dogs (Rottweiler and Chihuahua) and a cat. I’ve had no issues in the past with potty training my dogs and keeping them socialized by having them attend my children’s sports events and taking them to local dog parks. I’m not currently working. My hours are very flexible. I am married and have two children. A daughter (13 yrs old) and son (10 yrs old). Both very active in sports . We’ve owned our home in Somerdale for 17 years. 🩷 🏡🐕🦺🐶🐈⬛ I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs. Our cat is indoor and outdoor so he’s very independent. We live in a smoke free home and clean environment.

About: I am a lover of all animals! I have had a passion for them ever since I was very young and strived to make a career out of it! As an adult, I have experience with both cats and dogs. I am experienced in administering medications oral and injections. I have actively volunteered at animal shelters comforting different breeds, big and small, playing, walking, cleaning up after them, or just giving them a friend to hang out with. In addition to my unique background, I have been in senior care for 8 years. I have experience with helping those elders in need including caring for their pets when needed. I run activity programs with seniors, which frequently includes pet therapy groups for sensory stimulation for elders. I currently work full time, but I am available all hours after work around 4:30 PM. My nights are rather quiet and always searching for something to do. My weekends are flexible so if you are in need of a weekend getaway, I can be there! Most of my holidays are open as well so your furry friend will be in good hands! I have experience giving medication to dogs and cats. I definitely enjoy having some down time with them but also making sure they get taken care of physically. I love playing with them
“Madison was great. I felt confident in her from the meet and greet. Madison is a genuine and honest person. She has a natural interest in cats, she wants to take good care of them and she does, taking no short cuts.”
“Donovan was an absolute pleasure to have! He cared for all three of my dogs at once, and trust me—they’re a handful with their different personalities. Somehow, he made it all look like a breeze while I was away on my trip. He went above and beyond, even sending me picture updates that gave me peace of mind. My dogs were clearly happy and comfortable in his care, which means the world to me. I’ll definitely be requesting him again for my future vacations. Thank you so much, Donovan!”
About: 8+ years of in-home pet care in South Jersey, plus veterinary assistant experience in clinic. I have worked with dogs, cats, chickens, goats, aquatic pets (turtles, frogs, fish), and reptiles. Clinic work is why medically complex and senior pets are a fit, not a stretch: oral meds, insulin and other injections, watching appetite / mobility / bathroom changes, and knowing when to text you versus when to call the vet. I am especially strong with: • Diabetic dogs, including twice-daily insulin • Anxious or slow-to-warm dogs — space first, trust second • Senior dogs and special-needs dogs • Multi-dog and dog + cat households • Reptiles and other “please don’t forget the heat lamp” pets I take a limited number of clients so I can actually keep your pet’s routine — same walk times, same feeding windows, same bedtime rituals. I’m studying occupational therapy. Class and clinic are on my calendar in advance, so when I accept a sit I am actually in your home or at your door, not squeezing you between a full boarder’s list. House sits: I stay overnight in your home. Drop-ins and walks: I book around real med and meal times, not whenever it’s convenient for me. Weekends and holiday windows are when I’m most open. I’m based in Medford. Walks and drop-ins stay inside about 15 miles so I can be on time. If you’re not sure I cover you, send the request anyway — I’ll be honest about drive time. I sit in your home. I do not board other animals at mine. I have two senior dogs and two reptiles, and your pets stay in their own territory — that’s safer for my seniors and calmer for yours. Clinic work is why medically complex pets are a fit, not a stretch: oral meds, insulin and other injections, First Aid/CPR. Pills, post-op care, and “is this an emergency or a weird quirk” are normal for me. If your dog needs two shots a day, I set alarms. If something looks off, you hear from me immediately. I follow your rules in your house — crate, gates, furniture, thermostat, alarm, trash, mail. I don’t treat your home like a hotel and your pet like a side task. Meet & greets are required for first-time overnights so your pet can interview me before you leave.
About: I’ve grown up with and owned dogs, cats, and puppies and have had pets for my entire life. I currently live with three large dogs. I have temporarily taken in pets and have also watched both cats and dogs for 1-3 weeks at a time. I love pets and would love to take care of yours! I am currently in nursing school on winter break, so my availability is open until mid January at this time until I know my schedule. I care for pets in my clients home just as they would. In the past I have been given specific instructions and this always works out well.
“Chris was wonderful with my cat Fenrys - he sent great updates daily, and went about making friends at Fenrys’s pace. I felt so secure leaving him in Chris’s care!”

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Waterford is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $42 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.

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.
