“Karla was great! Definitely will book her again. She showed up on time, stayed the full 30 min, played with the dogs, took thoughtful photos, and made sure they got cuddles and love. She even paid attention to small details about the dogs personalities. Thank you Karla!”
“John is excellent, he took notes about Pounce when we first met and asked questions about anything he was unsure of both before and while caring for Pounce. He took great care of Pounce and provided detailed updates for each visit. Highly recommend!”
“Riss was absolutely wonderful with our two Havanese, Bastien and Tally! She was timely, attentive, responsible, and immediately put me at ease, plus the pups took to her immediately as well :) Tally is still a puppy and actively learning his house manners, and I was especially impressed that Riss took the initiative to work on some training exercises with him while she was here. It was clear that she was genuinely engaged with both dogs rather than simply keeping an eye on them. Riss is also warm, sociable, and incredibly easy to talk to. I felt completely comfortable leaving the boys in her care, and I would not hesitate to have her watch them again. We’re so glad we found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, responsible, and caring sitter!”
About: I have had dogs and cats since I was a kid and have always enjoyed looking after and caring for animals. My girlfriend and I don't have any pets at the moment and have been housing our friends pets when they are traveling. Hoping to offer our comfortable house to other pets while their people are traveling! I currently work from 9-5 a short bus ride from my house. I have a lot of flexibility to go home for lunch during the day and check on our house guests. On the weekends we are usually around the house and enjoy going for walks along the gorge trails. We have a three-quarters fenced in backyard for quality fetch time and a large house for the pets to roam in. We have a very open living and dining room for running around and chasing toys! When I visit houses to check on pets I like to stay and play with them for a bit. Make sure they are comfortable and getting some fun in during the day!
About: I am a Pre-Veterinary Medicine senior at Cornell University with over 1,000 hours of hands-on clinical and veterinary care experience. My background means your pets are receiving much more than a standard check-in, they are getting observant, professional, and deeply compassionate care. Whether I am staying overnight to watch your home or dropping in for an energetic walk, my absolute priority is keeping your pet safe, happy, and loved. Because of my veterinary training, I am uniquely qualified to care for high-anxiety animals, senior pets, and those requiring strict medical routines. I treat your home with the utmost respect and love having a furry "study buddy" by my side while I prepare for vet school As a Cornell senior, my class schedule is highly predictable. I am on campus Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 2:30 PM, which means my afternoons, evenings, and weekends are completely open and dedicated to pet care. For house-sitting, your home and pets will have my undivided attention every evening, overnight, and all weekend. During the week, my concise class blocks ensure your pets are never left alone for long, making me a great fit for dogs requiring a steady routine. For dog walking and drop-ins, I am fully available for early morning walks (before 9:30 AM), late afternoon stretches (after 2:30 PM), and flexible weekend visits. Safety and routine consistency are my top priorities. Because of my clinical veterinary training, I am hyper-vigilant about environmental hazards, household toxins, and escape risks. I strictly adhere to your pet's established training methods, crate routines, and house rules. I practice positive reinforcement to keep environments calm and stress-free. Whether your dog thrives with structure or prefers free-roaming, I ensure their routine is preserved exactly as you leave it. I have extensive experience handling all breeds and sizes, from delicate small dogs to powerful large breeds. Your pet will never simply be 'let out', they will receive dedicated, leashed neighborhood walks and plenty of focused outdoor exercise tailored to their specific energy levels.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life growing up with 3 dogs myself. I love taking them on long walks and taking care of their every need. I currently have a lot of free time while I wait for my next schooling to start for my career so I’m very flexible throughout any day of the week When taking care in your home in I will follow every detail and instruction precisely and make sure your pet gets the care it needs.
About: Hi I have experienced with all size dog and breed through my veterinary assistance experience. I also have a Black Lab her name is Lisa, and she is turning four years old. I am a full time student at Cornell. I have a back yard for puppy play time. I take boarding, sitting, and walking as long as the schedule fits. Also I can do same day appointment to support our pet parents. I have fenced yard. Extra leashes and harness. We are in a dog friendly neighborhood. My dog is 80lb so I can handle dog who pull and large size.
About: I currently own a senior dog who I adopted late in life, and am familiar with the challenges of anxiety, reactivity, resource guarding, pulling on walks, and adjusting to a new home. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, parakeets, fish, and domestic rats, and I later became an adult guinea pig owner. I am happy to administer medication and accommodate special needs, especially for seniors! And I am open to caring for all kinds of small pets in addition to cats and dogs. I currently work 9-5 M-F, but I often work from home. My work from home schedule is predicted the week before, but is not standard. I am fully available on weekends. On days where I work onsite, I am open to evening drop-ins to provide dinner, meds, and potty breaks. I currently will only go to the client's home for drop-ins and walks, as I have a senior dog at home that should not be housed with other animals. I am happy to provide leashed potty breaks for pets who do not have a fenced-in yard.
About: I’ve taken care for animals since I was a kid, but the past year or so I’ve started to pet sit and dog walk more regularly and longer term. I love animals especially dogs so getting to stay with them or just play with them outside or take them on walks is hardly a job to me!! I’m currently in Upstate NY but will be traveling at the end of the summer and thought it would be nice to be able to care for your pets while visiting different cities for short stays:) I have pet sat five times now where I stayed in the pet owners home for several days/weeks/months. Multiple pets at once, cats and dogs and hamsters. With the pet sitting comes dog walking which I also have experience in, including bigger and/or hyper dogs. Spending time with animals, dogs especially, brings me so much joy and that’s the main reason I love to dog sit and house sit!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, with different energy levels and needs for decades. I’ve volunteered for rescues and fostered puppies and seniors. I am comfortable administering meds, giving baths, working on manners, caring for reactive pups, and will go out of my way to meet your dog’s needs. My flexible schedule gives me plenty of time for long walks and playing with pups on both weekdays and weekends (yes, I am very lucky). I will follow your instructions carefully to make sure that your pet is happy and safe. A pet’s safety is always my number one priority.
“Valerie was so great, especially with a last minute booking and some last minute changes. She took great care of our cat and dog and they looked so happy in the pictures she sent. Would absolutely hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Rossy was amazing! She followed my cats' routine perfectly (wet food, dry food, water, cleaning litter boxes), and spent time giving them all some love. She kept in touch with me regularly, always sending updates and photos. She was also really helpful, watering my houseplants and bringing in the mail. Above and beyond! And finally, she was very flexible and accommodating, dealing with some date changes on my part and being available when a cancelled flight kept me away longer than expected. I would absolutely recommend her and hope she will be available to help me with my animal care in the future. If there were more than five stars, I would give her more! Thank you!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by furry family my whole life! I take their care very seriously. I have 2 furry babies of my own that love to meet new doggy friends. I can’t wait to meet you and your baby! I’m currently working part time as a nanny and have a lot of free time to spend with your pet! I’m open to special needs and specific care routines 😊 My dogs are my babies and I take so much care in making sure they are treated like it. I would love to treat yours the same!
“Yazmeen follow all the directions I left and that dogs really like her. It was our first time having someone come to our house to check on the dogs and feed them instead of boarding. It went so smoothly we will definitely request her again. Thank you Yazmeen!”
“Ariana has been a fantastic petsitter, a true companion to our cat during our long vacation. On our return, we found that our cat looks healthy, energetic and in a good mood, which tells me she received very good care, quality interactions and play time. The litter box was clean, and even the floor around the box had no sand. Ariana was consistent in her visits. I highly recommend her to any cat owner.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have a German shepherd of my own. I’ve also walked and cared for many dogs since I was a teenager including dog sitting for my own Veterinarian’s dogs. I’m a part time therapist and I work remote so I’m always local. My availability varies but I’m mainly available mornings and afternoons before 3pm as well as most weekends. In your home I would make sure your dog is as comfortable in its routine as if you were home and leave no trace of my presence. If I were to care for your dog in my home I have a friendly German shepherd puppy (fully vaccinated) and a dog-friendly cat. If your dog is comfortable with other dogs and cats I’d be happy to welcome them into our furry family for their visit.

Pet 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.
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

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Cayuga Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cayuga Heights is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 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.
As of November 2026, there are 360 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cayuga Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cayuga Heights. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
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.
