“I couldn't have asked for a better person to make drop-in visits on my two cats twice a day for a week. Karla took great care of Brutus and Olive and did everything I asked and more. My cats had never met anyone besides me before, so they were in hiding for the first few days, but Karla persisted and by the end they were (almost) friends. I appreciated the punctual reports and her messages were detailed and reassuring. I highly recommend Karla.”
“John was super responsive and efficient, and he kept us up to date throughout the stay so we never had to wonder how things were going. His notes after each visit were detailed and thoughtful, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We’d happily book him again and recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative sitter.”
“Riss was such a good cat sitter! She was very communicative throughout the stay. My cat can be a little grumpy, and Riss was very patient and kind with her. She truly went above and beyond, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“This is our second time working with Sarah. Our cats had an excellent time! One of our cats requires a daily medication, and that seems to have gone very well! The pictures and updates were great!”
About: I have years of experience with dogs and cats of all ages. Including dog sitting and walking many ages from 1-12 years old with great care! I will be reliable and a great friend to your pet! I am currently working part time and would have plenty of time to walk or hangout with your furry friend during the week and weekends. Mornings and nights work best but very flexible. I will care for your pet however you would like in any way. I am very flexible and will be able to follow through with anything needed.
About: As a first-year veterinary student at Cornell University, I've spent years volunteering in animal care settings, including veterinary hospitals, doggy daycares, training facilities, and animal shelters. These experiences have given me hands-on experience with pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities, while teaching me how to recognize and accommodate their individual needs. I also have two Standard Poodles that I've raised from puppies. They couldn't be more different—one is calm and gentle, while the other is energetic and always ready for adventure! Caring for dogs with such different temperaments has made me comfortable adapting to each pet's unique personality and routine. I've trained both of my dogs myself using positive reinforcement, so if you'd like, I'm happy to reinforce basic obedience or practice a few simple tricks during visits. I also groom them myself during school breaks, giving me experience with routine coat care and handling. I'm patient, attentive, and detail-oriented, and I'll tailor my care to whatever makes your pet happiest—whether that's a long walk, an active play session, exploring outside, or a quiet afternoon of companionship. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. As a first-year veterinary student, my schedule allows me to provide pet care through morning visits, lunchtime drop-ins, evening visits, and overnight stays. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet while you’re away, making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I am happy to come to your home and follow your lead to create the best experience for your pet! I can follow normal routines to keep them at ease, or create new adventures to use up their extra energy.
“Simply put, Claudia was an amazing cat sitter for us. She kept us well updated, responded quickly, sent many photos, and really got to know our four cats' personalities and quirks! Our babies have never been so happy with a sitter. They enjoyed Claudia's company and were grateful for the attention she gave them. We have never seen them befriend someone so quickly! We will absolutely hire Claudia again. Traveling was made easier knowing that the cats were in such good hands.”

About: I’ve helped care for my parents’ dog since I was young and now have two dogs of my own. I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, grooming, and giving meds if needed. I understand how important it is to keep pets happy, safe, and loved. I treat every dog like part of the family. I’m home every day since I’m not working or in school right now. Your pets will always have someone around to keep them company and make sure they’re safe. I live in a first-floor apartment with lots of green grass nearby. There are many safe areas where dogs can walk and explore together. I also have two friendly dogs who love making new friends. I can crate your dog if needed and will follow any special care instructions you provide. Because of their playful nature, my home may not be the best fit for senior dogs or dogs with mobility issues. My priority is to make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. *A meet-and-greet is required to ensure safety and a good fit for both you and my dogs.
About: I've cared for kittens, puppies, senior dogs, high-energy dogs, and those with aggression issues, ensuring each receives tailored attention and care suited to their needs. I am currently a student, and work part time. However I am available to care for your furry friends needs! Please check my calendar for my availability I have two adorable cats named Petey and Pierre as well as my dog Boudine. They are very rambunctious and always keep me on my toes
About: Animals have been central to my life from an early age, and few things bring me more peace and joy than caring for the beloved pets of others—domestic and exotic alike. For over a decade I’ve provided quality care for cats and dogs of all sizes and ages in both my home and those of my clients’. Ten years ago, I helped launch the STAY WILD Rehabilitation Center in Trumansburg, NY, where I gained extensive hands-on experience rescuing and rehabilitating sick or injured domestic and farm animals—including dogs, cats, horses, and sheep—as well as local wildlife. Through this work, I developed advanced skills in administering medications of all kinds, wound care and maintenance, and specialized feeding procedures for high-needs animals. I’m confident in situations that require extra patience and care at any stage of your pet’s life — from potty training and housebreaking, to teething and the “terrible twos,” all the way through the gentle, attentive support senior pets deserve. ❤️ I am currently finishing the final credits of my college degree, which gives me a flexible and dependable daytime schedule. Because my coursework is remote, I’m able to prioritize consistent, timely drop-ins and structure my days around my Rover clients. I’m available Monday–Wednesday from 9am–6pm, and Thursday-Sunday from 2pm–6pm. I strive to maintain consistent visit windows for every household. I specialize in dependable drop-in visits and attentive walks in your pet’s familiar environments. My car is set up with a dog hammock and pet safety seatbelt to transport your pupper to a nearby park or trail if desired! I prioritize safe and secure leash handling, stay aware of surroundings by avoiding headphone use, and tailor the pace and distance to your dog’s comfort level and energy. I understand how important consistency and routine are, and I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions exactly as provided. With a background in banking and childcare, I bring responsibility, discretion, and respect into every home I enter. You can expect punctual visits, clear communication, and photo updates so you feel assured and at ease while I’m with your furry family member ❤️. I will treat every pet with the same patience and love I give my own senior pup.
About: I’ve been around animals for many years and am very comfortable with their different personalities, routines, and quirks. I’m available for dog walking and drop-in visits or cat care while you are away. While I’m newer to caring for dogs professionally, I’m responsible, patient, and comfortable following an owner’s instructions closely. I enjoy walking and being outdoors and would be happy to help keep your dog active and give them some company during the day. I have a flexible schedule and take being trusted with someone’s pet and home seriously. Whether I’m checking in on your cat or taking your dog for a walk, you can expect dependable, attentive care and good communication. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m generally available for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and cat care throughout the week, and I can often accommodate different schedules as needed. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. That includes feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box care, playtime, and companionship. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to your pet’s needs, and will communicate with you while you’re away. I am also open to pet visits to my house. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have backyard access.
About: I have enjoyed dog walking/sitting for the past 12 years. I started in high school and instantly fell in love with it. I enjoy daily walks myself, but they are always more fun with a walking buddy I am in school and working part time. My schedule is open most afternoons and weekends. Since my schooling is fully online I have a somewhat flexible schedule. I have a big yard that is perfect for letting dogs run around and a middle-aged cat who loves making new friends, though he is perfectly happy to sleep in a dark corner if the friends are not so friendly.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Cayuga Heights
Victoria was wonderful! She was friendly, attentive, and proactive throughout. She followed all our instructions, kept us updated with messages and lovely photos, and was very patient and respectful of our cats’ space as they got to know her. You can tell she has experience with animals. We had a great experience with her!
John was super responsive and efficient, and he kept us up to date throughout the stay so we never had to wonder how things were going. His notes after each visit were detailed and thoughtful, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We’d happily book him again and recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative sitter.
Aleta is an extremely trustworthy, kind, and dedicated sitter who I feel totally comfortable entrusting my cat to for long trips out of town. She has been so accommodating to the ever-changing food and litter needs of my senior cat, and puts in continuing effort to bond with and befriend Mona. You can relax away from home when Aleta is in charge.
Rachel was phenomenal. She cared for our dog and two cats for a full week, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone more personable, reliable, or genuinely kind. All three pets absolutely loved her. She didn’t just stop in — she engaged with them, played with them, and made sure each one felt comfortable and cared for. One of our cats needed daily medication, and Rachel worked closely with us to find the best delivery method. She even picked up the medication from our vet when it ran out. Beyond pet care, she fed our outdoor birds and watered our plants without us asking — such a thoughtful touch. Her schedule was perfect: a full hour (or more) every morning, another hour (or more) in the evening, plus an extra midday stop for a quick dog potty break. We felt completely at ease the entire week. We truly loved having Rachel care for our pets, and we recommend her without hesitation. John & Pamela

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Cayuga Heights is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 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.
