“I’ve never left my kitties behind when I travel and was quite worried about it. I’m VERY pleased with the job Jack did. Although my cats are super shy and wouldn’t be social and play, Jack sent a daily pick to reassure me they were fine. I’ll definitely rebook with Jack should I need to travel again.”

“Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter! She sent us pictures every day, gave our cats so much love and attention, and made sure they had plenty of fun and playtime. She even bought them a new toy, which was such a thoughtful surprise! Her communication was excellent, and she always responded promptly. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our cats were happy, loved, and well cared for while we were away. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes. I’ve worked with puppies, special needs, and senior dogs. I would love to meet your pet! I’m currently doing some part time internship work during the week. But my schedule is flexible especially on Tuesday and Thursday. My weekends are free. I love spending time with animals. I am able to bathe, walk, crate, feed, and give medications. I would love to come meet your pets!

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve volunteered at a dog shelter, cared for my own dog Missy for 9 years, and worked part-time at Camp Bow Wow (located in Bound Brook, NJ). This background helps me create a safe, structured, and positive environment where your dog can relax, have fun, and feel well cared for. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my weekly routine. I’m able to schedule visits, walks, and drop-ins around my work hours, so your pet can get consistent attention and care. I plan my days with your pet’s needs in mind, making sure they stay on their usual feeding, play, and walk schedule while you’re away. I care for pets by following their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest so they feel secure and comfortable. I pay close attention to their behavior and body language, give them plenty of affection and enrichment, and keep their space clean and safe. I also stick closely to any instructions you provide, from favorite toys and treats to specific schedules, to make sure your pet’s day feels as normal and stress-free as possible.

About: I’m a beginner on Rover, but I’ve been caring for dogs for about 6 years through friends and family, and it’s something I truly love doing. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs with all kinds of personalities, high-energy pups, shy dogs, older dogs, and everything in between, so I’m very comfortable adapting to each dog’s unique needs. I also have a 10-year-old dog of my own, which has given me a lot of hands-on experience with daily care, routines, and understanding how dogs communicate. He’s a bit odd and thrives when he’s kept to his routine. He loves people but there are a few dogs in my neighborhood who he has decided he'd rather avoid so I’m familiar with sticking to a routine and dealing with each dog's unique quirks! It is important to me that every pet feels safe and comfortable. While I’ve never owned a cat myself, I’ve taken care of a few and really enjoyed the experience. I’m always happy to learn their routines and make sure they feel just as cared for and relaxed while you’re away. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away by making sure your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently work full time as a Medical Assistant at a Private Family Practice. I’m applying to Physician Assistant School this spring and am working to get experience while I finish my applications. My hours are 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday. I don’t have time during my work day to stop in to let pets out or feed them and am best suited to do walks, feedings, and keep company in the early morning or evenings. My weekends are typically open and flexible as I am able to stay at the house all day but prefer to drop by several times throughout the day for whatever care is necessary. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities while staying in your home. I make it a point to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or any specific care instructions, so they feel secure and stress-free in their familiar environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s behavior, boundaries, and personality to ensure they feel safe and respected. I’m very attentive and always keep a close eye on pets, whether we’re relaxing at home or out for a walk. I also make sure doors, gates, and any potential hazards are secure at all times. I respect your home just as much as your pet. I keep things clean, organized, and exactly how you left them. Communication is very important to me, so I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins while you’re away so you always know how your pet is doing. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine attention, and that your home will be in good hands.

About: Hi I'm Irina😊 Animals are my pride and joy. I've grown up around them all my life. From rescuing & raising baby squirrels, to helping train with my friends dogs. I have extensive experience petsitting, and years of professional and volunteer experience working with animals as well. Including local volunteer work at Homeward Bound. I’ve personally rescaled over 6 cats in the past 10 years, as well as fostering a cat currently. I have gained experience working with barn animals including horses, goats, and chickens. My heart holds tons of love for puppies and kittens, as well as elderly dogs and cats. I have experience administering medication , and some grooming knowledge although I am not trained professionally. I am extremely versatile and will provide you with the best care for your furry loved ones. I'm also big on leaving spaces as clean as when I came in, so you can rest assured that your home and pets will be loved and safe while you're away.✨🐾 I am currently a freelance model so I have an open schedule, I myself have 3 cats and am fostering a 4th. So my house is full but I can travel for jobs freely. I have a pretty open backyard but no fence in the front, only a tree blocking the road. I am on a main road in between two restaurants. I can pet sit smalll dogs varying in situation on my property.

About: I have sat for many animals - but have also had several of my own pets over the last 38 years. Ask me about Alice (my 6 ft boa constrictor), Iggy (the iguana), any of my beloved cats: Whoola, MooKitty, Jordan, Fish, Baby Blue, Fuzzfoot & Spice. My rainbow bridge pups: DragonHoney, RahRah, Patchouli and my best friend, Onyx. And last, but definitely not the least - Sampson, my awesome rescued African skink. We have also had turtles, fish, frogs and salamanders over the years. I am currently on family leave, so have flexibility for animal care in my schedule. I would prefer to be used for walks and short vacation care. Depending on the situation, I may be able to board in my home, or stay in yours, or make regular visits as needed. I am very flexible as I am not at work currently. I will make your furr-maily feel like a part of my family :-) I work best with a schedule and details for each visit. What to do, where things are located, etc. I would prefer to sit from your home, but can take boarding if the fit/timing is right. I understand how important good care for a pet is when you are away, you want to make sure they are in the best hands and that your home is also safe. As a previous animal owner, let me offer the service of peace of mind for you and your pets while you are away.

About: I’ve had and worked with dogs for the last 10 years, both my own and at my workplace. I’ve managed a doggie daycare/ boarding kennel at the animal hospital I work at for the last 3 years. I’m educated and confident in my ability to administer medications, including insulin and oral medications. I am knowledgeable on dog behavior and body language, which I believe is extremely important for handling all animals. I absolutely love my senior pups and puppies alike, I believe certain dogs require different attention and I’m confident in my ability to provide that. I currently work full time, but am able to make early morning walks or check ins for my local area, same goes for lunch drop bys or short walks. My mid afternoons, evenings, and weekends are all entirely free for caring for your fur babies. It’s not always easy to find someone to trust with your precious fur babies, but my services come with a high level of respect, responsibility and confidence. While I am with your pet I can assure you that their needs and safety are my top priority. You will never have to worry about your pet getting enough love, attention, or exercise.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Burnt Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 563 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Burnt Hills. 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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Burnt Hills. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
