About: Hi! I'm an experienced pet sitter with over 6 years of cat-sitting experience and 8 years of caring for small dogs for family and friends. I've also been a cat owner for more than 20 years, so I understand that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or loves quiet companionship, I'll make sure they receive the care, attention, and patience they deserve. I'm happy to follow your pet's normal routine, provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, administer simple medications if needed, and, of course, give plenty of love and affection. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing pets feel safe, happy, and thrive while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, and I'll treat your pets as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work full-time during the day, but I am available for pet care visits early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. I am especially available on Mondays with flexible availability throughout the day. I understand how important consistency and attention are for cats, and I will make sure your cat receives the care, companionship, and routine they need while you're away. I’m happy to provide updates, follow your instructions, and give your cat the patience and affection they deserve. Your cat’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and caring environment where your cat can feel secure and relaxed. I will follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own.
About: As a dedicated dog owner for 11 years, I understand the importance of consistency, safety, and love in pet care. I have experience with daily exercise routines, feeding, basic training, and providing calm, attentive companionship. I’m available for dog walks on weekday evenings and most weekends. I’m punctual, dependable, and happy to set up consistent weekly walking schedules for your pup. I prioritize safety and awareness on every walk. I carefully follow owner instructions, use secure leashing practices, avoid unsafe areas, and stay alert to other dogs and surroundings. I provide updates for peace of mind and treat every pet with patience, care, and respect.
“Brianna is great! She came for a drop in to let our dogs out & to feed them. She followed all of our instructions, and the dogs were happy to see her! She came for a introductory visit before I booked her, and I can tell she loves animals. Looking forward to our next visit! Thanks again!”
About: I’m a dog mom first, which means I care for every dog like they’re my own, not just supervised, but truly understood. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine, energy level, and personality so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, including basic training reinforcement, administering medication, and adjusting care for mobility or anxiety needs. My goal is to keep your dog happy, stress-free, and on their normal routine. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work a hybrid schedule with a lot of flexibility, which allows me to plan my day around walks, feedings, and quality time. I’m able to be present throughout the day for check-ins, exercise, and companionship, so your dog isn’t left alone for long periods. I’m very consistent with routines and make sure each dog gets the attention and care they’re used to. I tailor my care based on each dog’s routine, personality, and needs. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, structured walks, playtime, and rest. I keep their routine as close to home as possible, including feeding schedules and any specific instructions. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the space and the dog’s established routine. I aim to keep everything consistent so your dog feels secure whether that’s walks, crate time, training reinforcement, or medication. I also provide regular updates so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away.
“Sandy was great with my two dogs, she followed my notes to the T, followed up with text messages about each visit and pictures! I would highly recommend to anyone.”
“Kristina did an amazing job cat sitting Squeaky! She gave great updates every day and I felt so comfortable and confident knowing Squeaky was in such good hands. Thank you so much!!”
About: Being around animals brings me joy and I want them to feel at ease because I know they are missing their pet parents. My calm, patient and kind personality will be comforting to your pet. I’ve given medications and have cared for many types of dogs and cats as well as chickens, birds and a duck! I am also very conscientious about safety, being on time and keeping your home tidy. When you return home it will be as you left it and to happy pets! I am recently retired, therefore my schedule is flexible daily, including weekends and overnights. Let me know what your needs are and I will do my best to accommodate. I can pet sit in your home. I do not have my own pets but family members I live with have 2 cats that I often help care for. Safety and caring for your home and pets are important to me. You will return to a tidy home. I am happy to discuss how to accommodate your needs.

“Joanne took care of our 3 pets during drop-in visits over a 3-day period. Joanne showed great care while feeding and interacting with Fiona (our 10 year old pit bull), Davlin (our 17 year old frail cat), as well as Moshie (our shy 13 year old cat). Joanne provided detailed information regarding her care for the individual needs of each of our pets during each visit. She also provided numerous photos of each animal while visiting. Prior to her drop-ins, Joanne came over for a Meet and Greet in order to go over details while visiting, as well as getting to meet our pets. In addition, Joanne kept us up to date with each interaction while visiting and any questions or concerns that she or we may have had during the visits. Without a doubt Joanne demonstrates a tremendous amount of care and professionalism in every aspect while working with us and caring for Fiona, Davlin and Moshie. I look forward to having Joanne care for our pets in the future, as well as highly recommend anyone who has a need for someone to care for their pets.”
About: I volunteer with the organization that I adopted my pup from! I not only process applications for the organization, but I actively “babysit” pups overnight (sometimes 3 days at a time) for their fosters who occasionally are away on the weekends. I have the most experience with puppies and young adults, but also have watched older pups of my family members. I hope to give your pup a nice boop on the nose :) I am a full-time teacher on summer break! With my current schedule, I am available Sat, Sun, Tues, Thursday & Fridays! I look forward to discussing your needs for your pet! I have a 1y/o pup who is crate trained, friendly and loves to play with other dogs. She is my best friend! I’ve taken care of my boyfriend’s dog as she’s recovered from two separate TPLO surgeries. I’ve potty-trained and crate trained other pups from the rescue I volunteer with as I personally feel that’s the best way to make myself and you assured of your pets safety. My pup and I frequent the complex park multiple times daily and love a good car ride. A brief note of needs for your pet will ensure I care for them exactly how you do!
“Jess took care of my pup Leia while I was away for the day at a baseball game and sent me update photos each visit and some comments on how the visit went. Leia had a lot of fun. Will definitely use Jess again!”
“"Absolutely incredible experience! Hannah was everything we could have hoped for and more. Our 100-pound Newfoundland, Arto, absolutely adored them. They were reliable, professional, and managed Arto’s size and energy with ease. It’s not always easy to find someone who can handle such a large dog, but Hannah made it look effortless. They kept us updated with pictures and notes, and we could tell Arto was happy, well cared for, and having a great time. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Hannah again—highly recommend!"”
“Nadine was so wonderful with our senior pups. She completely respected our “slow to warm up” furbaby. He was relaxed & unfazed by her presence. We are thrilled and can’t wait to work with Nadine again soon! Highly recommend Nadine!”
“Cleo was well taken care of and I was updated every step of the way. I felt at ease knowing that Shelby was being so attentive and caring for my girl. I'll definitely be rebooking next time I need a sitter.”
About: Ive always been around animals, both wild and domestic. I feel very fulfilled and passionate about working with animals, and understand their language quite well. Im happy to give exercise or comfort, whatever is needed. I can do some behavioral training as well. Im happy to adapt to whatever needs present themselves! I'm currently staying at my parents' house on Long Island while I wait for a job opportunity. I have a flexible schedule and love to travel and experience different environments. I have been traveling all over the country the past ten years, taking care of others pets and houses. This includes large lands, with chicken, goats, compost...the whole thing! I also have my own husky mix, and have kept her super happy and healthy. Ive also worked in behavioral health for years, and understand the approach that needs to be taken for both people and animals who have suffered from abuse.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Bay Shore on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 8,435 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Bay Shore. 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 Bay Shore. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
