“Ciara goes above and beyond when taking care of my boys. From her detailed check ins assuring me all is okay to her genuine care and enthusiasm for animals, she is by far the best sitter I have had (and I’ve had many!). I can enjoy going away because I know the boys are in good hands and my place is taken care of. She is also just lovely and has a great attitude. Cannot recommend her enough!!!”
“Sarah was a calming and trusting presence for me from the moment we met! I was so anxious about finding the right person to be with my puppy. She sends photos, texts back with swiftness, and always gives me a review if her visit. If you’re looking for a calm and accommodating presence in your puppy’s life, look no further.”
About: I have been able to take care of animals (dogs and cats) since age 5 as I had pets throughout my whole life. I have also briefly owned horses building the skillset of hygiene care for larger animals. I absolutely love dogs. I have had experience with small dogs all the way up to English Mastiff and Ridgeback sizes. I have been a helpful pet sitter for many family members and some friends. I absolutely love animals and plan to incorporate them into my therapeutic process with clients in the future. Please send them my way and I will give them all the love and empathy while you're away and as needed! I am a graduate student with an internship which entails the need for a daily routine. I am more flexible for weekends and holidays, and I am also willing to make other days work given enough time notice in advance. I love to be outside year-round, especially fall and winter, so I will be active with animals in snow/cold or sunshine which means walks and playing! I have three cats who have everything they need including love and grooming! I have a three-legged cat who requires more care for hygiene and grooming, so he gets lion cuts every so often. All of my cats get treats and are spoiled with love. I am flexible and willing to work around whatever is needed for safety and the environment. I would prefer to do house visits and drop-ins to feed/let outside, etc. I would need to be provided equipment like leashes, crates, food bowls, food, etc. I do not want to disrupt your pet's routine or familiarity of their own materials.
“Gretchen took amazing care of my cat, Dory, while I was away for 5 days! I got updates and photos after every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond with the litter box, fresh water, driving to me, and taking the trash out before I got home. Couldn’t have asked for better care. Highly recommend!”
About: Besides caring for my childhood dog, Houston, since I was 11 years old, I formally became very involved in pet care during college. I joined an organization called 4 Paws for Ability that raises and trains service dogs for veterans and children with disabilities. I began as a sitter for the primary trainers on campus, watching their dog for a couple of hours during the day. Beginning my junior year, I began raising Red through 4 Paws, a 10 week old Golden-lab. I raised Red, while juggling class and work, until he was 1.5 years old and went off to advanced training. He now works as a facility dog at Dayton Children's Hospital. Since graduating, I remain involved with pet sitting for family and friends. I have sat my boss's daughter's cats (interesting, I know) and my aunt's puppy for a week. I love taking pictures of any and all animals, so expect photo updates often! I currently am a first year medical student here in Buffalo. Class is usually over by mid-day during most week days, making me very available for a walk or drop in visit. Furthermore, my weekends are pretty open for the time being, so I'd love to keep your pets company as a house sitter and have a relaxing (or active) weekend with them. I am very observant when it comes to things that are potentially harmful in reach of the pet. I will ensure your pet does not get into anything they shouldn't! Also, I have experience with ensuring dogs are safe in their kennel prior to leaving so your fur baby and home are safe.
About: I love getting to know each individual pet’s personality and needs, and approach them with respect to make them feel comfortable and safe. I have many years of experience with animals who need insulin shots and oral medications, and experience with all ages. I will treat your pets as if they were my own! At home, I have a tripod husky and a cat who has traveled far with me. I go on miles-long walks every day… always with dog treats in my pockets :) I'm currently working from home setting my own schedule, so walking your dog would fit well into my day. If you live near me, an overnight at your place is possible as I like to give my Stormy cat her breakfast and outside grass time by mid morn. I have lots of cat toys in my house for my cat. I hope your dog has toys and if it's just a walk, then a good leash and baggies to collect poop are essential. I am all about fresh water and seeing that their space is just how they like it.
“Jenna was great: communicative, kind, and attentive to our young cats! This was our first time leaving the cats while we traveled out of town, for the Thanksgiving holiday. Jenna responded to our booking request in a timely manner (we placed it very late at night and she responded early in the morning). During our absence, she kept our minds at ease with her drop-in visit pictures and videos. Would book again!”
“Elizabeth was prompt and took great care of my pup. She was easy to get a hold of and responded super quickly ahead of my booking and then sent lots of photos after the visit. My pup was well cared for! Will definitely book again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for family and friends for the past three years. I am a pet lover with a caring heart and am very glad to play, walk and care for pets as I am away from mine for school. I have a medical background and am currently a medical student. I am currently a student at Jacob’s Medical School, with classes primarily in the morning but lots of flexible, free time in the afternoon and evening. I am open to pet-sitting at one’s property but cannot have pets at my apartment. I am open to pet-sit, feed, walk, etc as needed per pet!
“Emma was fabulous in taking care of my boys! She was even able to get my stubborn kitty to take more of his meds than I could, no small feat. She was great about providing updates and following complex care instructions.”
“Jessica was amazing from the meet and greet to the last morning of her drop in visits!!! She shared insightful updates and pictures each drop in visit and there was a huge jump from the first drop in visit to the last one; you can see how comfortable and happy Jola was starting to get with her through the photos! And that speaks volumes to how great she is at caring for our little loved ones! Jessica is most def my first choice for drop in visits in the future if she’s available 🙏🏾 10/10 recommend”

“Ariana truly went above and beyond for Leo! She was incredibly attentive to his needs and kept us updated throughout the weekend. I felt completely at ease knowing she was checking in on our cat. We will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
About: I’ve had both dogs and cats since I was 2 years old so I grew up learning to love and take care of animals! Aside from my home, I grew up around my aunt’s farm where we have anything from donkeys to chickens. It’s safe to say I’ve always been an animal lover! I’ve experienced anything from typical pet routines to those with special needs that require extra care and attention. I have experience with both puppies/kittens as well as senior pets and I love dogs of all breeds and sizes! I’ve been pet sitting for others through friends and family for about 3 years since I started college and thought I’d give Rover a try! I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of extra time to care for your pet! I am available mornings, nights, and weekends. Overnight care would need an advanced notice. My goal is to customize my care to fit your needs, wants, and requests. I know leaving your furry friends at home is never easy so I try my best to make that process as comfortable as possible for both pet and owner. Following your pets normal routine is my priority so they can enjoy their stay and you can enjoy your time away!
About: I previously worked with two energetic puppies. I am incredibly attentive to pet owner requests and to the needs of the pets in my care. I am currently a graduate student but I have time to tend to pets as I can study remotely for much of the week as needed. I treat other pets as if they are my own, I will make sure to communicate frequently and effectively, ensuring pet owners are updated on their pets condition.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Buffalo
Amanda was amazing with my 2 boys......who she never even saw lol. They are both pretty anti social and wanted nothing to do with someone who isn't mom. She did hear them one day though! Amanda still came over and made sure their cat needs were met and even hung out to try to coax them out a bit and left temptations in her wake for them to find. Absolutely would recommend and rebook whenever we go away
Cassandra was wonderful to work with! She was responsive and incredibly accommodating with our schedule, which we really appreciated. She took great care of our cats and kept us updated with prompt responses and plenty of photos. It was clear that our cats were in good hands. We would absolutely trust Cassandra to cat sit for us again anytime and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Haley was amazing!! It was Riley's first time being alone for so long and Haley made sure to make her feel super loved and cared for while we were away. She provided lots of pictures and updates. We will definitely be booking her again the next time we need someone to take care of Riley 😊
Daniela was reliable, communicative, and kind. She provided our 3 cats with consistency and entertainment while we were away! and got even our most skittish cat to feel comfortable and look forward to her visits. Thank you so much - would book again without hesitation!
Nick watched our cats 🐈 🐈 over the holidays. Very grateful to have someone so kind and respectful of our home checking in on them! Would definitely recommend Nick! He was very responsive and was even kind enough to water our plants 🪴 (which was a huge help).

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Buffalo on Rover is $22.2 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 475 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Buffalo. 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 Buffalo. On Rover:

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.
