“This was my first time to use Rover. I chose Megan because she had great reviews, this will be another good one. She was taking care of my three cats while I was gone for a week. She was very professional, showed up when she said and took very good care of my animals.”
About: There was never a time in my life where I didn’t have a multitude of pets. I grew up with a family that loves the outdoors and everything in it. Something special about my care is that I’ve had years of experience in rehabbing injured animals. Because of this I’ve learned that patience and attentiveness are so important to a happy healthy pet. I’m devoted to meeting your pet halfway- or wherever I’m needed- in order to help you in any way I can! I work part time Monday-Friday and by 9AM I have the rest of the day to myself! My schedule would be most ideal for a family who needs help during the day or any time from 9:30AM-7PM. I look forward to working something out with you. I appreciate thorough instruction to insure that I am handling things exactly the way you imagine and prefer. Aside from caring for your pet I also like to lightly clean if needed/wanted to give you a little less to deal with.
“Denisha is a great sitter. She took care of our babies over the weekend and sent pics every time she went to let them out and feed them. Our babies were very content and happy with her. Great personality.”
About: Hi, my name is Reyna and I've had pets all my life. From bunnies to cats and now I am the loving pawrent of 2 Dachshunds named Nitro and Winnie and 1 recently adopted Chihuahua named Larue. I completely understand that eventhough we wish we could take our furbabies wherever we go sometimes that is not an option. You can count on me to check up on your babies if you ever head out for the day and need peace of mind. I can drop in for a check in, feed them, walk them, play with them and head back out. I am a full time employee during the week but I am available most Fri-Sun. I am a full-time employee Monday-Thursday. I am available most Friday-Sunday for drop in visits with your pets especially if told ahead of time. You can count on me to drop in and feed, walk or play with your babies. I know some have more energy than others and require more walking and playing than others and I can do that. You can trust to let me know what your furbabies activity level is so I can plan an exciting drop in visit for them.
About: I work as a veterinary technician, so you can be sure your baby is in good hands! I have worked in the vet med field for 4.5 years now. If your baby has any medications, rest assured I will be sure to give them on time. I will follow whatever schedule your baby is used to! I have fostered several fur babies in my home and know the importance of providing plenty of affection and attention. I know your pets are very important members of your family and will treat them as if they were my own! I currently work full time during the week. I am available for drop in visits while you're out of town on the weekends so I can be sure to give your fur baby the proper care and attention! I am very conscious of keeping with your pets usual routine so that they are as comfortable as possible while their family is away. I will be very respectful of your home and will be sure to leave in the same condition that I found it. I absolutely love caring for animals, it's my life's work! I will be sure to give your pet plenty of love and pets while you are away!
“This was our first time using a dog sitter and Taylor made the process painless. When we had a meet up prior to our trip we really enjoyed getting to know her and hear about her past experience. She followed our instructions and sent us pictures at every visit. We felt safe and secure with Taylor watching our dog. We met up with Taylor about a week after our trip to tip her and get our key back, our dog raced up to her and was so excited to see her. This confirmed our feelings of security and safety. I would (and have already) recommend Taylor to others. She obviously loves pets and really cares about the pets and people she works with.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 79 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across West Orange. 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.

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.
