Amra did an amazing job taking care of my fur babies while I was away. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated, which gave me complete peace of mind. I came home to happy cats and a spotless apartment—everything was clean and exactly as I left it. It's clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I would absolutely hire Amra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive cat sitter!

About: Hi besties! 🐾 :D Thank you for giving me a chance! 😊 I know it can feel like a lot to trust someone with your fur baby—but given the opportunity, I promise to treat them with all the love, care, and attention they deserve! 💖 A little about me—I feed the neighborhood cats and I'm a foster parent with the ASPCA, so caring for animals is truly at the heart of what I do. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, and I'll be fully present and doting while you're away. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands! 🐾 I'm so excited to care and meet you and your cute baby (long-term or short-term, whichever suits you)! Whether you have a cat, a dog, or both, my goal is simple: to make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely cared for while you're away. 💗 I've been a cat owner for almost 10 years—my sweet baby is literally the love of my life, and I know just how special that bond is. I follow him everywhere, and my favorite thing is snuggling together as we fall asleep. I understand the trust you're placing on me, and I don't take that lightly. From playtime and snuggles to keeping their routine consistent, I'll treat your cat like the royalty they are. 💕 I love dogs too! I've walked dogs before and genuinely enjoyed every moment with them. While I'm still building my experience with dogs, I'm attentive, caring, and will follow your instructions because no one knows your baby better than you. Whether it's sticking to their routine, practicing commands, or just making sure they get all the love and exercise they need—I've got your dog and yours back! 💛 If you have any requests, you can always message me! I'd love to help and make accommodations. ✨ I'm also a licensed esthetician specializing in waxing, and like so many others right now, I'm navigating a tough job market. Cat and dog care is such a joyful way to connect with precious babies (and meet awesome people like you!) while I work toward opening my own business. So if you're looking for someone to love on your baby, booking with me means you're also supporting a local small business owner chasing her dream. So if you can support me along the way, that would just be purrfect! 💖 :D If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and who will genuinely adore your baby, I'd be so honored to meet you both. Let's link! :D I'm available pretty much anytime since I'm currently looking for work as a licensed waxer. So if you ever need a wax too—I'm here! :D I have the sweetest little cat at home and we're literally attached at the hip—I follow him around everywhere and we spend all our time cuddling, watching TV, and just being together. I can't function without him fr so he's always by my side lol. I love dogs too and have walked them before—I'm still learning but I'm super caring and will treat your baby with just as much love. I know pets need their space sometimes, so I'm good at reading (especially cats) their mood—whether they wanna play, cuddle, or just have me sit nearby and exist with them. I'll bring that same energy and care to your baby too! ✨

About: Hello! My name is Christine and I've decided to work at Rover in order to provide happiness to the owners and the pets. I was initially raised in NC with 5 dogs and 2 cats before moving to NY. Over the years living in the city, I've had 2 dogs, 3 cats, 1 bird, and 2 rodents which I cared and still care for deeply. I've always had an attachment with animals and make sure I give them the same amount of love as well as make sure that everything done is by the owners standards and approval. With the say of the owner, I will also provide any special treatment and make sure everything will go as smoothly as possible. I understand that every animal should be treated fair and carefully based on their situation and that is why I decided to join; so I can make sure they are treated how they are supposed to be. Currently, I am working to get a Masters certificate in dog training and apply for a bachelor's in Animal Behavior to help train difficult dogs and service dogs in the future. I'm currently a freelancer and available at all times. I walk one dog at 9:30 PM occasionally who has hip dysplasia. I am willing to work all 7 days a week and holidays. I own an American Akita currently in which I need constant training and patience. I have helped my dog adapt to raw foods along with kibble so her digestive system is stronger. One of the most important things for taking care of clients pets is to ask questions in order to keep their animals as happy and as safe as possible. I will make sure to give updates and reports to owners after each session so they are aware of anything that happened (or if nothing happened and they're just being a good girl/boy!)

About: Hi! I'm Janis—a college student on summer break, excited to meet your pet(s)! I’ve been caring for all kinds of animals since I was young—dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish—you name it! Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs— from energetic puppies to senior dogs, as well as large breeds like Pit Bulls, Samoyeds, and Labradors. I am open to making exceptions for some large breeds depending on their behavior and after a meet-and-greet. I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I gained experience walking and handling anxious dogs. My experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant has given me strong familiarity with handling medications, special diets, and injury care. I’m highly attentive, detail-oriented, and comfortable following specific care instructions to ensure your pet’s safety and well-being. I’m very responsive and make sure pet parents always feel connected by sending frequent photo and video updates. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and bond with them through the activities they enjoy most. I’m currently on summer break, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m able to spend most of the day with them, with exceptions for errands, but they will never be left alone, as I live with family. I provide at least 2–3 walks or potty breaks per day, and I’m happy to adjust based on your pet’s needs and routine. I also accept last-minute bookings whenever possible! I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication at all times. I live in a house with a fenced front yard, but your pet will always be supervised when outside. During walks, I try to avoid streets with a lot of traffic to help pets feel secure, especially in new environments. I always pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I live with my family, so pets will never be left alone if I had to run out, and I always communicate this clearly with owners ahead of time. I currently don’t have other pets in my Brooklyn home aside from fish, which allows me to give your pet my full attention. I can also follow instructions like crating or separating pets if needed.

About: I grew up with dogs of all kinds (German shepard, Pekinese, chihuahuas, Pomeranians, golden retrievers) and have always looked after family and friends dogs while away since elementary school! I have two dogs of my own! I am currently working part time as a medical assistant in outpatient psychiatry. On my days off, I love hanging out with my dogs, teaching them new tricks, long walks along the shore, going to parks and going on runs together! I have a private home with two friendly malteses who are always looking for new friends! I’m also a nursing student and love to do my research on pet nutrition (macros/micros) and am always looking for healthy alternatives for my pets and I!

Okay, I have to rave about this sitter for a sec. My cat is usually pretty shy around new people, but she won him over almost immediately; no idea how, but I'm not complaining! She sent photo/video updates every day I was gone, which honestly made the trip so much more relaxing. Litter box clean, feeding on point, and she even picked up on him being a little mopey one day and gave him some extra snuggle time without me even asking. Also grabbed my package that was outside the door, which was such a nice bonus. I came home to a happy, chill cat and zero stress. 10/10, would book again in a heartbeat. If you need someone trustworthy and clearly obsessed with animals, this is your person!

About: I’ve taken care of pets since 15. I gained all of my experience that I have today through taking care of neighbors, friends, colleagues, and family’s pets. I am a loving, kind, caring, and patient person. I learned so much from caring for animals, that I adore them so much! Also additional, I have experience with puppies, kittens, and senior pets. I’m currently a college student, my classes are held online. Which gives me plenty of time to spend with the doggies. My weekends are busy but I can do mornings only. Because the weekends are the only days I have to finish my college work. I care for my clients pets like if they were my own. I make sure to make my clients pets feel as comfortable and safe as possible, like if they were in their own home. I love taking my time to get to know my clients pets because each pet has their own personality! I also make sure to follow any rules or meal plans that my clients leave for their pets.

About: Trained my current dog (Buddy 7 years old) to be patient, well-behaved and potty trained. I have also administered medication to my previous pup, Champion. In which I would administer insulin to ensure his blood sugar was optimal for his health. I also have a green cheek conure, and red eared slider, demonstrating my love of animals! I also occasionally board a cute Pomeranian named Sassy. I would be able to see your pets on weekends, long weekends (holidays) and able to make accommodations. I am also available after work if needed for walks or potty breaks for your dog. I will care for your animal as if they were my own family. I believe that all animals deserve to be treated like royalty. I will always ensure I am available for your inquiries or questions during my stay, and follow any directions given when caring for your pet.

Just fill me in on the details and I’ll cust I build pet care around fixed anchor points in my day morning and evening feedings/walks at consistent times and treat those as non negotiable, scheduling everything else around them.

Lucy was awesome with our dog who gets some separation anxiety when we leave her. She sent us such cute pictures and Maple was clearly super comfortable with her and happy to have her stop by to feed her and take her for a walk. She communicated with us really well and made us feel like Maple was in really good hands, which allowed us to be able to enjoy ourselves on our trip away. We’ll definitely work with Lucy again in the future!

About: Hi there! My name is Madison G., and I’ve been surrounded by pets for over 20 years. Growing up in Seattle, my family always had dogs, cats, and even chickens, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I recently moved to New York and, while I don’t have any pets of my own at the moment, pet sitting allows me to do what I love most, spend time with animals, provide attentive care, and stay active with plenty of walks and playtime! You can count on me to treat your pet with the same love and attention I’d give my own. I take every job seriously and will make sure your furry friend is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a pretty open schedule and will amend my schedule to meet the needs of anyone who needs pet care! I am flexible. My home is clean and ensured to be pet safe. I'm situated, in a small neighbourhood, by many parks to walk around and quaint streets ideal for walking!

On short notice, Ekaterina was able to meet and look after my senior cat for 3 drop-in visits. She did an excellent job (as evidenced by my cat being in good spirits went I returned). In particular, I really appreciated the many pictures and videos she sent me of my cat from during her visits. Overall, I'd recommend Ekaterina highly to anyone in the Bay Ridge area looking for a pet sitter.

For the last 3 years, I have had the pleasure of having Megan watch over Emma!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Bensonhurst on Rover is $27.75 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 12,362 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Bensonhurst. 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 Bensonhurst. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
