About: I have several years of experience caring for many different types of animals. I have been a cat owner my whole life, so am very comfortable caring for cats (indoor or outdoor) in any capacity. I have previous experience dog-sitting for both small and large dogs, as well as senior dogs. I have experience providing drop-in visits for potty breaks, walks, feedings, cleaning litter boxes, administering medications, playtime, extra cuddles, as well as staying overnight to provide daily care for pets whose owners are out of town for multiple days. I also have some experience checking in and feeding farm animals such as chickens, guineas, farm cats, and cows. I am a big animal lover that has been around animals my whole life. I would love to give you peace of mind when you are away from home to know your pets are being looked after and well cared for! Currently a full-time college student and working part time in the Madison area. I have a flexible schedule so can do drop-in visits or stay overnight with pets if you live within a decent commuting distance to Madison. Comfortable caring for many different types of animals. I can provide most anything from a quick check-in, to an overnight stay if feasible. I am able to provide walks or outdoor time for dogs, comfortable cleaning litter boxes or other pet cages, and can even administer medications if needed too.

I'd highly recommend Madalynn to other families. She did a great job with my rowdy dogs. I will use her again.

Hillary did an awesome job checking in on my cats while we were away for a few days. They are both very shy, but she got them to come out the first day she fed them!

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my hands-on experience and dedication. I've fed cats and dogs, walked them, and stayed overnight for extended periods. I've also trained puppies and my own dog, ensuring a well-rounded approach to pet care. Pet owners have relied on me for consistent care, knowing I’m always there when needed. My commitment to providing personalized and compassionate attention makes me a trustworthy choice for any pet sitting job. I am currently a technical college student who only goes to school twice a week while the rest is online, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available to care for your dog Thursday-Sunday most weeks and will give them all the time they need! I like to know the pets routine/schedule and understand any behavior they may have. I would love to know the intentions of me watching your beloved doggy and what you need from me personally to make you and your dog as comfortable as possible.

Whether it’s dogs, cats, or other furry friends, I’m experienced with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and special needs. From energetic puppies to laid-back seniors, I’ve worked with them all and love every minute of it. I’m also a stay-at-home mom to a sweet baby boy who comes with me on all visits.

Your pet will still receive my full attention, love, and care, with a gentle, nurturing presence alongside us. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Let’s set up a meet and greet—I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can help! I am a stay at home mom so that I can attend to your babies at any given time or help out in an emergency! I can provide for your babies with drop in visits or dog walking! I will provide everything you may need plus got the extra mile for you! I love on each pet as it my own, and send lots of pictures and updates!!

Sarah was prompt and my dog immediately took to her. They went for a nice long walk and he was happy and tired at the end! I will definitely use her again to entertain my pup.

About: I have been around a variety of animals my entire life. I grew up on a farmette with sheep, pigs, bunnies, cats, and dogs. I have always been and continue to be a huge animal lover. I am a child-less millennial and I wish I could be my own pet, ha. I adopted my golden retriever when she was 8 weeks old and spent a lot of time training her. We began doing therapy dog work, visiting our local nursing home once a week until Covid hit. We did this for 3 years. I also adopted my senior cat when Covid hit. I then started volunteering with an organization that trains service dogs to guide. My role started as a ‘puppy raiser’. The dog lives with me in my house and comes everywhere with me-work, appointments, errands, etc. and my job is to expose it to as many experiences as possible to better prepare it to be a guide dog. I ended up adopting my second dog, a failed guide dog, through this organization and he continues to come into my elementary classroom with my everyday as a therapy dog. After adopting him I pivoted and began teaching inmates how to train guide dogs. My organization partners with a prison where we have about 20 inmate handlers and 10 guide dogs in training the inmates are working with. In the summer I go to the prison 1x/week and help teach the inmates how to train the dogs. I also go to one training class (at least) a month on dog training as part of the organization I volunteer for. I’m comfortable and experienced around dogs of all ages. I’m a teacher and I have a really flexible summer schedule. Now we’re back to school my availability will shift to nights and weekends. I’m a very flexible person though and I’ll work with you! Your dog will always be leashed when outside unless you have a fenced in yard. I want your absence to be as minimally stressful as possible for both you and your pet. Any routines you have I’m happy to do my best to recreate them. You never have to feel like you’re bugging me if you forget to mention something initially or have any questions or concerns. Im excellent at communicating and I’ll take your lead. If you want me to spam you with photos of your pet, say less. If you want to be left alone and just get a brief check-in we can do that too!

Very happy with her service. She was punctual and sent pictures every time she visited. She gave our diabetic kitty his insulin, which was why we needed her.

Laura came for a drop in visit for our dog, Ash for the first time. She was willing to meet him before hand and was very flexible the day of the visit. She even came a little early late notice! She was great with Ash who is a high energy dog. We would definitely book with her again :)

We had Kate do several drop in visits while we were out of town. She was very responsive, took great care of our 2 cats, and even brought some Christmas treats for them after confirming they were allowed to have them. We would definitely book with Kate in the future!

About: My name is Gina. I have pet sat and worked in doggy daycares for several years. I enjoy the reprieve of being around and interacting with animals. I have lived with cats growing up and currently reside with dogs. I try to cater to their specific needs as I know each animal is different. I provide affection, exercise and care with walks, play toy/fetch, cuddle/pet, feedings, and I make sure to leave the area as clean as when I arrived. I am playful and will get down and silly with them on their level. I am also respectful of coming into their home/domain. They get to check me out first for approval and allow me into their space. I also specialize in pet photography and love bringing my camera along to capture sweet and special moments.

Whitney was great! She came in for a drop-in visit while we were away for a day trip. Silly Millie got into things she wasn't supposed to and Whitney gladly put things away. She was also super prompt with responding and it was easy setting up times to pick up and drop off keys. She also offered to come again later in the day in the case that we were coming back later than expected.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Albany

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 738 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:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
