“I can’t recommend Tiffany enough! She was able to help us out with a last-minute request, and was super easy to work with. She came for a meet and greet and was so sweet to our cat. Charlie (the cat) has been anxious to be left alone for long periods of time since her sister passed last year, so I really needed someone to spend time with her and give her the attention we normally would. Tiffany did exactly that and then some! She sent lots of updates and pictures, and I knew that Charlie was being doted on so I could fully relax while away. Tiffany is clearly an animal lover and it shows in her care! She followed all of our instructions to the letter AND left our apartment in tip top shape. I will definitely be working with her again!”
“Sara was just wonderful with all Our fur babies! We got updates, photos, and prompt responses from her. Our pack loved their weekend, and we loved being stress free knowing they were home and in good hands!”
“Would absolutely recommend Forest as a sitter! Max was comfortable and happy while we were away. Max even followed him to the door while he was leaving, a little sad to see his new friend go!”
“Christina is truly the sweetest and most caring pet sitter! She has such a genuine love for animals and it really shines through from the moment we met and throughout the entire pet sitting stay. She kept us informed with lots of cute pictures and videos throughout the weekend, and was really on top of the specific needs for our senior dog.”
“Madeline helped us out when we needed some last minute help over labor day weekend. She was a star! Our dog takes a bit to warm up to people and not only was Madeline patient but gave me confidence in leaving him last minute. She gave us great updates. So happy to have found her!”
About: One of my biggest passions is saving animals lives through fostering. My fostering experience has provided me many skills necessary to care for animals with varying needs, including young kittens, diabetic cats, XXS chihuahuas, and XXL breed dogs. Due to my experience in healthcare, I've provided many sub-cutaneous injections for diabetes maintenance and drug responsibilities. I've handled many small rodents including mice, and am comfortable with handling and providing care for smaller pets. I've managed care for animals with severe anxiety by providing them with daily psychiatric meds, and animals needing physical support with supplements, weight loss interventions (diet foods and safe, increased exercise), as well as animals with stranger fear. As a full time professional student, my mornings are often occupied by lectures, and Tuesday/Wednesday afternoons may be partially occupied for school responsibilities. I am very flexible, and can attend to pet care duties before, in between, and after my classes. I am open to over night stays and higher-maintenance care tasks, such as providing care for animals that require behavioral or psychiatric support during their family members absence. I enjoy playing with pets, within their boundaries of comfort. I have become apt at recognizing animals mood states, so I can properly respond to fear, excitement, anxiety, pulling on the leash, and over reactivity as necessary. I enjoy taking dogs on frequent walks if that is comfortable for them, and give occasional treats to reward 'good' behavior, such as sitting or laying down on command, and waiting to be fed. I am comfortable being cuddly with animals, and being very close and physical with them, if that fits in their boundaries. In my apartment I cannot host dogs, however, there are many parks and fields right in my backyard that I can bring your dogs to that they will enjoy.

“Caitlin took care of our cat for roughly 9 days when we went on vacation. She provided peace of mind having someone here with our young kitty who has separation anxiety. The house looked great when we got back and he was well cared for.”
About: I’ve always been around dogs and cats growing up. My grandmother owned an in-home dog grooming business that I assisted with from a young age. I’ve had my own family dogs since the age of 7. Whenever friends or family have gone out of town, they trusted me to look after their dogs as well as cats. Currently I have a 3-year-old catahoula leopard / lab mix and an 8-year-old brown tabby cat. During the week I work 9-5 from home. I tend to have most of my meetings early in the morning due to time zone differences, meaning I have the majority of the day to look after your dog. On weekends my availability can start as early as 9AM. I am typically available I don’t ski or snowboard – so you don’t have to worry about me being in the mountains. 1. There are many outdoor parks near my apartment building, as well as a dog run in the apartment complex itself. My 3-year-old pup is extremely friendly and playful, meaning your furry friend will always have someone to keep them company, should they want a friend.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up with pets since the age of 5, I’ve gained experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, lizards, turtles, and fish. Dogs and cats have been a part of my life for most of my years, and today I’m a proud cat mom to two adorable cats: Savannah (9) and Maeve (3). I’ve always loved being around animals and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. I’m attentive to detail, reliable, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. While I plan to welcome a dog into my own family in the near future, I’d love the opportunity to spend time caring for and playing with your pup in the meantime! Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a dependable person to stick to their routine, I’m happy to help and will care for them as if they were my own. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to easily fit pet care into my day. I’m available for drop-ins before 8am, during my lunch hour for midday check-ins, and consistently after 4:30pm once my workday ends. This flexibility allows me to maintain a reliable routine for your cat, whether they need morning feedings, litter box care, playtime, medication, or simply companionship throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is always safety, trust, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable while you’re away. I follow all instructions exactly as provided, including feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, medications, and any specific household rules. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs so I can interact with them in a way that feels familiar and stress-free. I treat every home with respect and care, making sure doors are securely closed, routines are followed consistently, and your space is left clean and as you left it. I’m mindful of safety at all times—watching for any potential hazards, ensuring pets are secure before leaving, and double-checking everything before I go. Trust is extremely important to me. I understand how personal it is to let someone into your home and care for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I aim to communicate clearly and consistently, giving updates as needed so you always feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Whether your dog wants to be super active or sit in with cuddles, I'll be equipped to accommodate them! I deal with an anxiety disorder, and pet care as well as being around animals is my life, and has helped me overcome anxiety in so many instances.

“I found Izzy at the perfect time. We needed a last minute sitter and she made me feel so comfortable leaving my dog with her. She sent us awesome updates and loved on our sometimes selective pup. You could tell he felt so safe with her and we were able to relax knowing he was in good hands. Already telling everyone I know to book with Izzy!”
“Samantha was AMAZING! We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to care for our dog and cat while we were away. She updated us frequently and sent us pictures. She is very trustworthy and thorough!”

I am currently a student with a regular routine, allowing me to be reliable for your pet's needs. Your pet would be my #1 priority, and any other plans would be kept to an absolute minimum. I love taking dogs on walks and playing with them to release some of their energy. I have been practicing dog training, which will also keep your dog occupied while you are gone. I always ensure that food and small objects are kept out of the way to avoid any health concerns, and watch your pet closely while outside or eating.

This was the first time we ever left our pets with someone other than family. Tatyjana treated my pets as if they were family. They snuggled with her and her family, and they looked like they felt at home. They were well cared for and even posed for pictures. Something I can't get them to do. She definitely eased any concerns we may have had. We will have no problems asking her again. Thank You so much.
Nicole did an excellent job in our home for an extended stay of 13 days with our 2 dogs. She was great with daily pupdates and pictures-which were greatly appreciated because we missed our babies. She dispensed meds several times a day to our senior German Shepherd and was able to keep our very active, lovable, snuggly -yet sometimes naughty Whippet puppy busy. I knew from the minute I met her that she was a great fit for us and I’d use her every time we need someone to stay or drop in for us!
This was only our second time leaving our dog with a pet sitter, but when we booked our vacation we were hoping Meagan was available again! Lucy was comfortable with her from the start, and she kept us updated throughout the week with how she was doing. Meagan also went above and beyond while she stayed in our home, bringing in our mail and keeping things clean and tidy. She will always be our go to when we need someone for our dog!
Sarah is absolutely fantastic! Our original sitter canceled leaving us scrambling to find someone for a holiday weekend. Sarah quickly responded and scheduled a meet and greet, and agreed to the booking. Sarah asked thorough questions and made notes of important info, which left us feeling comfortable with her staying in our apartment and with Rex. During our vacation, Sarah sent plenty of updates and pictures, and when our return flight was delayed and at risk of being canceled, Sarah volunteered to help with Rex if we did get stuck. Fortunately, we were able to get home, but knowing we had support in case we got stuck made the situation so much easier. Sarah also took great care of our place. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a professional, caring pet sitter!
Forest and I had an initial meet and greet with my two dogs and an overview of my home since he would be taking care of both for over two weeks. His experience and work/life met my needs for the stay. He is very responsive to texts, sent some pics so I could see my dogs that I missed so much on my trip. I had every confidence that the dogs and my house was taken care of and that is a lot, I don't trust many people to take care of my dogs aside from family. I will book him again for future trips.
Our cat seems to love Jenna, and she takes 3 masterful pictures of him every time she comes by. She arrives punctually, all the chores get done, and the house has been in order the last few times we hired her. She has been our go to sitter since we found her. We would highly recommend!
Karen was so wonderful!!!!! Took excellent care of my three cats, dog, and axolotl for a whole week. She kept in touch with me about how they were doing, and even gave me some extra water/food containers for them! When my flight home got delayed, she was willing to stay and take care of the animals for me for an extra day, even though she didn't have to. 10/10 thank you so much, Karen <3

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Cheektowaga is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $52 and $78 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 565 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cheektowaga. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Cheektowaga walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Cheektowaga maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Cheektowaga choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
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.
