About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was seven. I’ve been riding horses for eight years and just love any animal I can be around. I will walk dogs, bathe them, feed them, sit them basically do anything. I’ve had many dogs I’ve watched in the past and everyone was satisfied. I go to work part time at a vet clinic in Albany NY. My weekends are usually free unless I have a half day shit at the clinic based on my schedule I can always make sure to get to your house and look after your pet at any time if available. i take care of my own animals with meticulous care and love. I have 3 dogs and 7 cats and 1 horse so i know everything there is to know about taking care of them
“Katie took care of our two kitties while we were away on vacation. She came by for drop in visits and spent quality time with them, giving them plenty of pets, attention, and playtime. She also sent detailed updates and photos after each visit. We really appreciated how caring, attentive, and thoughtful Katie was with our cats!”
“Dakota is a great find. She showed kindness, love, and care to our cat. We knew that Miso was safe in her care. Her communication was excellent. We definitely recommend wholeheartedly.”
“If I could give 100 stars I would! Anna was THE perfect person we could have ever had to watch our 2 cats. This was our first time using Rover & Anna made things so easy, communicates well & sends lots of updates and check ins with pictures! I appreciate her so much made my cat mom nerves at ease. She slept at our apartment for a week and left the place exactly as it was. I would rebook with her 100% felt completely comfortable having her watch the cats and stay in our space. She is exactly who you need for a sitter, very kind. I cannot rave enough about her! Thank you Anna!”
About: I’m a good dog walker and can play with them and feed them too. I’ll make sure they are treated right and feel safe around me. I’m around and free whenever possible to take care for pets for friends and family if they need it. I treat them as family and make sure they have fun too I will make sure they are on a leash when we go for walks outside of the house. Won’t leave doors open and make sure to car them if needed too.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years including my own senior dog and feel so lucky when I form relationships with them and families. I have just recently moved to the Albany area and am available for your pet care needs. I’m excited to care for your fur babies I am available to come to your home and have a flexible schedule. Building relationships and a high level of care are my goals together
“Freedom has been wonderful with my cat, Rose is always happy and her needs addressed! She also went above and beyond to address a maintenance issue at my home while she was there. Her care and attentiveness are unmatched, I highly recommend.”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I grew up with dogs, cats, and rabbits, and I currently have fancy rats of my own — so I’m comfortable with both traditional pets and small animals. The majority of my family has always had pets as well, and I’ve regularly helped care for them over the years. Whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, cleaning enclosures, administering basic care, or just making sure they feel safe and loved, I’ve always been very hands-on. Animals are truly a passion of mine. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love. I am currently not working, which means I have full availability and a very flexible schedule. I’m available for drop-ins, quick walks, playtime visits, and overnight house sitting. In the spring, I will be starting nursing school, but I still plan to offer consistent and reliable care with flexible availability. I’m committed to clear communication and making sure your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I prefer house sitting in your home rather than boarding pets at my own. I believe animals are most comfortable in their familiar environment, surrounded by their own scents, routines, and safe spaces. Staying in their home helps reduce stress and allows me to keep their schedule as normal as possible. My goal is always to make your pet feel secure, calm, and cared for while you’re away.
About: Cats have been a favorite part of my pet-care experience for years! Through my residential cleaning business, I’ve had the opportunity to care for clients’ cats, including cats with special needs. I provide dependable drop-in visits with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I can also administer medication when needed and am experienced with special care, including insulin injections. I understand that every cat has a different personality. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or needs extra attention, I respect their boundaries and follow your instructions carefully. I’ll treat your home respectfully, follow your cat’s routine, and provide photo updates so you can enjoy your time away with greater peace of mind. I serve Guilderland and nearby areas, including parts of Schenectady, Rotterdam, Albany, and Niskayuna, depending on distance and availability. Evening and weekend visits are welcome! I offer cat drop-in visits on weekdays, in the evenings, and on weekends, depending on my schedule. I’m generally home by 2:30–3:00 PM most weekdays and can often accommodate afternoon and evening visits. Weekend availability is also possible with advance notice. I keep my calendar updated and will confirm visit times before accepting a booking so your cat’s care fits smoothly into their routine. I provide attentive drop-in visits tailored to your cat’s routine and personality. I’ll refresh food and water, clean the litter box, provide playtime and companionship, and administer medication when agreed upon and within my abilities. I respect your cat’s boundaries and keep their environment clean and comfortable. I’ll also send photo and video updates so you can see how your cat is doing while you’re away.
About: I’ve cared for a variety of animals for several years anywhere from newborns, to senior pets I am familiar with giving specific medical care and abiding by health plans. I am new to the area and will be starting a new career at the beginning of next year and am looking for something I am passionate about to fill my time until then. The only reason I will not offer pet care from my home is because have so many myself! However I’m very willing to travel back and forth to care for my own animals just as I would care for someone else's out of their home whether it is visits or overnight stays!
“Trista was wonderful! She sent great pictures of all the pets. They all look so happy and well cared for. Great communication and followed all instructions. You can tell she really cares for your pets. We would highly recommend! 😊”
About: I’ve been caring for pets informally for my entire life and professionally starting 12 years ago. I care for each pet like they are my own. I am sensitive to their energy and needs. I am able to work with animals who have unique social/emotional and medical needs. I mainly work with dogs and cats but am also experienced in caring for small animals like rabbits, birds, reptiles and fish. I’m currently working part-time, and my schedule varies a bit week to week. I am free mornings and evenings, most Thursdays, as well as Mondays after 2 pm. I usually work shifts under 8 hours, so with good communication I would be thrilled to come up with a plan that will suit you and your pet(s). For now, I am able to care for and board cats and small animals in my home. In the summer, I can board dogs in my fenced in yard. For dogs and larger animals, I can take them for walks and pet sit by traveling to your home. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! I have managed to ensure my pet rabbit feels safe while also living with a rambunctious one-year-old labrador retriever. I am always cautious about my pets and my clients’ pet’s whereabouts. I’ve helped return missing neighborhood cats and dogs to their owners as well as assist with unexpected visits to the vet.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Brookview
We were so lucky to have Ashlyn take care of our kitty, Juliette Marie (Julie). Being a vet tech, Ashlyn was extremely competent in caring for her in our absence. Julie is on several medications, and Ashlyn administered them with no problem. She sought Julie out to make friends with her, and when Julie was slow to warm up, Ashlyn stayed in the room with her for the duration of the time, talking to her and letting her know that she was there. We hope we're lucky enough to have Ashlyn again when we go away!

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.

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
