“Ronit is a life saver! I recently rescued a Maltipoo on 8/24, Ronit met with myself and Mia the next Saturday. We connected right away and booked! Ronit has come in twice a day to check on Mia and walk her while I work in the office. Mia loves Ronit and it’s evident in the pictures and videos documented by Ronit. Ronit is communicative and provides relevant updates on Mia. Ronit definitely has me at ease with taking care of my Mia.”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong passion for animals. I’ve cared for birds, dogs, and currently have two cats. I truly love having pets in my life and always provide attentive, compassionate care. Whether it’s a playful pup, a curious bird, or a shy cat, I treat every animal with patience and respect, making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I currently am a pilot with my commercial license, and I’m studying and getting ready for my next license. I occasionally do DoorDash, but aside from that you could find me at home hitting the books, cuddling with my cats, and occasionally going on one to two hour flights to practice my skills. This job is perfect for me because I love animals, I have the time to care for them, which includes making frequent visits, overnight care, and whatever else is needed. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable space filled with love and attention. I keep their routines consistent, including feeding, playtime, and rest. With two cats of my own, I’m experienced in creating a calm environment and managing litter boxes thoroughly. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely to maintain the pet’s usual routine and comfort. I make sure to give plenty of affection and engagement, keep the space clean, and communicate regularly with the owner to share updates and any observations. I’m super playful and active with my cats—I love keeping them engaged with toys and games. I also enjoy going on walks myself, and if my cats didn’t hate going on walks, they’d be my perfect walking buddies! While I can’t take my cats on strolls, I’m all about making sure your pets get the right amount of exercise and fun, whether it’s playtime at home or walks outside. I also love teaching pets new tricks and spoiling them with toys and treats—because every pet deserves a little extra fun and love.

“Rebecca was great with the house, cats and communication! One thing that stood out to me was her calm demeanor. My cats are freaked out by some people and take a little to warm up. They both liked her right away, which gave us a peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book her again.”

She even managed to get my shy cat to come out and eat, which is not something many people are able to do! I really appreciated her care and attention. I will definitely be booking with her again!

“Axel, my cat, is extremely skittish and nervous . Cassidy took very good care of him over the weekend. She made quite an attempt to get him to calm down, and was really patient with him . Axel was not at all tense or unhappy when i got back - so her efforts worked and Axel appreciated the effort. I would highly recommend Cassidy to look after their pet. She obviously loves animals - and even someone as nervous as Axel responded to her.”

About: Hi! I’m Rebecca! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, and I’m currently a proud pet mom to three of my own—a dog and two cats. ❤️🐶🐱🐱 I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whether your pup needs a walk and some playtime, your cat needs a little company, or your pets need someone reliable to check in on them, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. What you can expect from me: 🐾 Lots of love, attention & playtime 📸 Photos and updates during every visit 📝 Following feeding, medication, potty, and other routines carefully 💕 Patience with shy, nervous, energetic, or cuddly pets 🏡 Respect for your home and your instructions I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands. I’d love to meet you and your furry family! 🐾❤️ During the week, I work as a paraprofessional at the Matheny School in Peapack-Gladstone, New Jersey. I’m typically at work by 8:30 AM and finish around 4:00 PM. I’m available for pet care before work, on my way to work, and after work, making it easy to accommodate morning walks, drop-ins, evening walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of cuddles! Weekends are generally very flexible, and I’m usually available for longer visits, walks, drop- ins, and extended care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s individual routine and schedule whenever possible. 🐶🐱💕 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and any special needs or preferences your pet may have. I’m attentive to their behavior and surroundings and will always prioritize their safety. I also believe communication is important! I’ll keep you updated during visits and send photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect and care I would want someone to show my own home. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. ❤️🐾

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities for over 10 years. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, play with, and provide lots of love and attention to their pets. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and administering basic care routines. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’m also very responsible, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos for peace of mind! I work a full-time 9–5 job just 10 minutes from my apartment, which gives me great flexibility throughout the day. I’m able to stop by during my lunch break for walks, potty breaks, and check-ins to make sure your pet is comfortable and cared for. Before and after work, I’m fully available for longer walks, playtime, feeding, and quality time. On weekends, I have even more flexibility to dedicate extra attention and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel at ease. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, routines, and any special instructions you provide. I take precautions during walks, keep a close eye on behavior, and ensure a safe space at all times. I’m also very communicative and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in loving, responsible hands.

“I was impressed with Kim! From day one, the cats bonded with her, which is unusual, especially when meeting someone new. She went above and beyond doing what was asked, including crushing pills, giving them attention if they wanted it and opening the door so they could get some fresh air and sun through the screen. By the third day they were following her around the house. She's light on her feet and very patient with them. To add perspective, when my adult children come home, the cats hide, even though two of the cats grew up with the kids. Before the week was over, I had already booked her for several other times this summer!”

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs all my life, big and small, so I’ve had experience feeding, cleaning up after, and taking care of animals for a while. I began with taking care of dogs around my neighborhood, and eventually got a job at an overnight dog daycare. The job gave me more experience in taking care of and interacting with dogs, as well as feeding, grooming, and reading the body languages of dogs whether they were independent or in a group setting. I also used to volunteer on a farm, so I have experience with other species of animals as well! I am currently a student at Rutgers University with a class schedule. My availability is as follows, MONDAY- 12pm to 3 or 6pm- all night TUESDAY- 12pm- all night WEDNESDAY- 7 am- 3pm or 6pm- all night THURSDAY- 2 pm- all night FRIDAY- 12pm- all night SATURDAY AND SUNDAY- anytime I’m always very adamant of respecting the boundaries of animals, and I’m good at reading their body language. I try to create a calming and stress free environment, making sure I introduce myself and establish a comfortable relationship with them. I understand that being away from family can be stressful for pets, so I try to make them as happy and relaxed as possible and treat them as if they were my own.

Mariia was fantastic! She took such great care of our two cats, and especially our senior dog. She was super attentive and mindful of his vision issues and anxiety and went the extra mile to clean up after him and maintain the cleanliness of our house! She communicated excellently and her check-ins had tons of images of our babies and any important information we needed to know. 10/10 would recommend

She kept in contact with me, sending pictures and updates that really helped put my mind at ease while I was travelling, knowing that my cat was in good hands! She was quick to respond to both my booking request and my questions, and was willing to set up a meet-and-greet with me and my cat, so that I knew she was in good hands. This is the most relaxing vacation I’ve had in years, knowing that my high-needs cat was in good hands. I will never book anybody else!!! She was so kind and patient, and my cat really liked her too!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Zarephath

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 4,623 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Zarephath. 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 .

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 .

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

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 , 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.
