Maria came through for us and took care of Raylan when we needed. She even adjusted her schedule to fit some changes we needed and was easy to communicate with. We loved all the pictures and reports she provided. We will definitely book her again.

I also do two dog pack walks after the park with the dogs that cannot go to the due to a variety of issues including aggression and/or anxiety. Whenever there is an issue I am the go to for these dogs who love me with all their heart and I in return. Currently work from 9am-2:30pm Monday through Thursday and Friday 9am-12pm as a dog handler so I am available for afternoon/evenings. I am also free on the weekends. I have a three bedroom house with a large backyard with tall wooden fences and a chain link fence to access it. Two bedrooms are unoccupied so I have plenty of space available and also live near point Isabel.

About: Since I was born, I have had pets running around my house and have been taking care of them for as long as I can remember. Throughout my life, I have had 5 cats and 3 dogs and I know everything there is to know about taking care of them. I will make sure your pets get the same love that my pets get at home. I don't have a job right now so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets, but I will update my availability when I do find a job. I live in an area with lots of open walking space and places to use the bathroom. There is a park close by with wide open areas that I know pets would love to roam and explore.

About: For the past 30 years I have been a champion of animal protection, a professional animal care specialist, and an international animal rescuer with a background in holistic pet care. I started my petcare business in 2003 called Royal Pets Holistic Care. Aside from exercise, feeding, grooming, I provide comprehensive holistic care and wellness education. My motto is “We treat your pets like Royalty because they deserve the Royal Pampering.” The mission is to restore our original Harmony and deep Connection between nature and humans. This is achieved through providing holistic wellness care services. Specialized Care for: Pets with a history of abuse or trauma Shy and anxious temperaments International Rescued dogs Hospice, chronically ill, or has medical condition Misunderstood behaviors labeled Geriatric senior pets ESA training and certification for Emotional Support Animals Holistic natural pet care and education, ie. Nutrition, BARF, medical care Teach animal communication to help you deepen your bond of intimacy Experience I specialize in caring for pets with a history of abuse or trauma, shy and anxious temperaments, chronically ill pets or pets with a medical condition, international rescued dogs, misunderstood undesirable behaviors, and geriatric care for older pets. I have volunteered extensively in animal rescue, including SPCA feral cat TNR programs, international street dog spay/neuter efforts in India, and rescue work during major natural disasters. My journey as an animal communicator was shaped by rescuing my first dog, Summer, who was deemed “unadoptable” due to severe trauma and taught me how to truly “speak dog.” Shaped by a lifetime of rescuing traumatized and misunderstood animals, my work is rooted in deep empathy, trust, and learning to truly speak the language of animals. Today, I teach animal psychology to help humans better understand, communicate with, and emotionally support their pets. * Animal Medical Fund: I donate emergency medical funds at an animal sanctuary/TNR in India for stray dogs and cats. For the Love of Animals and Respect of Nature, Royal Pets Petsitting Service cats and dogs. This type of thing is a labor of Love and it goes both ways. Animal Rescue: I volunteered for the SPCA Feral Cat Team TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) program rescuing and socializing feral cats and finding homes for them. I focus on helping India with their spay/neuter and medical care for street dogs. I coordinated TNR in rural villages and in the Andaman Islands, where my dog Snoopy is from. I coordinated animal rescue for several natural disasters. I have rescued many animals in my lifetime, both dogs and cats, and shared photos in my gallery. Holistic Care: What is it? Holistic Care is about being attuned to the individual needs of each animal. I have 25 years of experience as a Wellness Professional. I help humans and animals to Thrive with healthy lifestyle, harmonious relationships and spiritual wellbeing. I attune to each individual animal’s needs through my honed Animal Whispering skills. I am currently working on expanding my holistic care services and so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I am available 7 days a week and weekends. I spend time with your pet observing their personality and getting to know their personality traits. I am fun and play with them a lot. I give them lots of physical affection and I talk to them like they are human. I listen to what they tell me. I have honed animal communication skills from my many years of both rescuing and rehabilitating animals, and as a professional pet sitter/dog walker. I am gentle yet firm when setting boundaries. My philosophy for building trust and safety is being highly attuned to animals and respond to their cues. I make sure to know what the pets' triggers are and provide them with a safe and loving environment, avoiding their triggers as much as possible and being the strong leader of the pack when necessary to create space and strong boundaries. I am a licensed and bonded Professional Petsitter

Vivian was wonderful with Honey. They knew just what to do and gave me great tips to help with her issues of separation anxiety and crate training. They took a walk during the 3 hrs I worked and I never heard any barking as I had in the past. I really appreciated that they made themselves available at late notice and the thoughtful care they used in dealing with Honey.

About: For the last four years I’ve lived in a home with two Rhodesian Ridgebacks. One was a senior at 13 years old and the other is three. I’ve learned how to adapt to their different needs based on age and personality while setting boundaries and aligning to my Housemate’s desires for their care. (Which has helped me get to know new dogs pretty quickly.) We walk, play and cuddle. When needed I administer medication, feed them, and sometimes cook for them. I look forward to chatting with you about your family’s needs. When house sitting I do not schedule any other families for walks or drop-ins. The care I provide is all inclusive so that your baby gets all of my love and care. If I am not house sitting, I’m available everyday after 11am for walks and drop-ins within a 1 mile radius of lower Rockridge or easily reachable by public transportation. To ensure safety and comfort, I won’t be walking any other dogs outside of your household. I am available to spend time with your pet(s) in their home where they will be the most comfortable. I’ll come to you for walks.

Our cat is very shy and cat sitters barely see him when doing check-ins. Somehow Rebecca gained his trust on the second day and he was comfortable being approached and pet. It made us feel better being away knowing that our cat wasn’t hiding the whole time we were gone. I’d definitely reach out to Rebecca again in the future.

About: I’ve taken care of several dogs and cats throughout the years. I love showering them w/ the play and food they need. Excited to help! I’m currently working full time! I can support with some walks on the weekdays and weekends. Pet sitting varies with my schedule, but I’m open to it! I make sure the area is safe and clean. Everything is put away, so the environment is great for dogs and cats to relax and play in the area.

Kari was wonderful. Our cat can be particular about people and she warmed up to Kari very quickly, since she was being attended to so well. I love how she talked to Kibs, payed attention to her litterbox and eating habits and did all the extra little things to keep her routine in place. I'm confident our cat had a nice time on our trip. All the rover cards were very detailed.

Kylie was a great catsitter. She was communicative and attentive the whole time, followed all my instructions, and set clear expectations upfront. Really respectful of my space too. When my cat had a throwing-up incident, she handled it calmly, cleaned it all up, and was even mindful about which towel she used. Reliable, thoughtful, and easy to work with. I would absolutely book her again and hope she is available for another trip I’m taking in two weeks.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Albany on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 5,832 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Albany. 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 Albany. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
