“Bianca is an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She looked after my cat with so much care. From the very beginning, she was highly professional, reliable, and communicative, sending regular updates and pictures that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals, and my cat warmed up to her immediately. I highly recommend Bianca to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter, and I will definitely be hiring her again in the future! Bianca, thank you very much!”
“Finnian was available last min and responded super quickly which is always great in a pinch but not expected. He was open to all my directions for my new puppy and comfortable dropping in without meeting her and not knowing what to expect. Took adorable pics and sent great notes! I do the job full time and so far I’m happy I found him :)”
“We are so happy with Kimberley’s care of our cats while we were away. She built trust quickly with our cats, administered medicine and we knew our cats were in good hands. We will definitely book her again!”
“Meaghan was able to accommodate our last minute request to cat sit and we were very happy with how communicative and professional she is! We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Bridget is very communicative and took excellent care of our cats while we were away. Sent tons of pictures and made sure they were happy and had all their needs met.”
“Jamie has taken care of my 2 cats multiple times now and always does a great job! Whether it’s extras like making sure Cat TV is on for them, feeding, treats and playtime, the cats are always happy and well taken care of when I come back from trips :)”
“Maria was great to all three of our cats. She kept everything clean and in order. We were happy to get home and see our cats were well taken care of. 5 stars for Maria. We will definitely use her again. The Waitt’s”
“Jenna was amazing with our three cats. They were well looked after the entire week. Jenna was punctual, thorough, and made sure we were kept in the loop at all times. We highly recommend her, A+!”
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs most of my life and really enjoy connecting with each pet’s unique personality. Caring for my senior dog Benji during his later years taught me a lot about patience and paying attention to the little things that make a big difference in their comfort and happiness. I’m gentle and patient with shy or nervous pets and enjoy creating calm, low-stress environments. But I’m also happy to play and engage with energetic pets to help them burn off energy and feel satisfied by the end of our visit. I’m comfortable administering medications and always treat pets and their homes with respect and care. I work full time during the week, so most of my availability is in the early mornings (6-9 am), evenings (after 5:30 pm), and weekends. There can be some flexibility there if we work it out ahead of time :) I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine as much as possible, and I make sure they still get plenty of attention and care during the times I’m with them. If your pet needs a consistent schedule, just let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate. When I visit your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable by following their routine closely, keeping their space clean, and paying attention to anything that might seem off. I always double check that doors and windows are secure before I leave. I know it’s a big deal to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: I've grown up taking care of pets; my childhood cat and my cousin's dog. I've cared for my neighbor's animals and currently have both a cat and a dog. My family and I trained my dog at home and I can help reinforce any training you're doing with your animal. I'm currently a college student in Boston and I'm looking to walk or sit pets as a part-time job and stay connected to my love for animals! During the winter and summer break, I have few commitments and can be very flexible with my hours and your pet's needs. I can do long walks for dogs, feed, play, clean up, and other general needs for both cats and dogs! I'm happy to send photo updates throughout the day if sitting or have flexible hours with whatever time your dog is typically walked!
“Leigh is an amazing pet sitter! She sent daily reports with photos of my fur babies. One of my kitty’s is a little shy but Leigh got her to come out from hiding which means a lot! Highly recommend trusting Leigh with your fur babies !”
About: My entire family loves dogs and cats. My mother, father, aunt, uncle, and cousins. I am a huge dog lover myself. I am not the type who sits and leaves the dog or cat alone. I enjoy taking dogs for walks, playing with them, and just cuddling with them while watching a movie. I am 31 years old. I drive and will travel anywhere in Staten Island or 15 mile radius of Old Bridge and Matawan. I am free weekends, and during the week at any time =) I work part time so I’m very flexible with scheduling. I also can accept last minute requests I only have cats, but have experience walking small dogs. My cats are indoor only, but have multiple cat trees, toys, games, treats, and cat tv. When it comes to caring for pets in your home, I will ensure they are well fed and played with
“Taylor was absolutely wonderful with our new puppy, Cooper. We were so worried about having to be away from him, but Taylor kept us updated on everything Cooper was doing. She bonded with him so well and even worked with him on playing fetch and training him to "drop it" We absolutely recommend her! Thanks so much, Taylor!”
“This is our 2nd time using Jonathan. We had a vet emergency 1 hr before our flight, and he came to the vet office, picked up meds, and administered them while we were away. Incredibly kind and responsible person!”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Wickatunk is $25

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 8,109 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Wickatunk. 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 Wickatunk. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
