“I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Alyssa was amazing watching over our scaredy-cat! She was great with sending pictures and updates; and helped keep an eye on our place (closing windows while it’s raining is much appreciated when traveling!). She was great and incredibly thoughtful while hanging out with our shy guy - both with giving him his space, while also giving him enrichment and love (bringing over cat nip and toys for him!) …he eventually started to come around to her which is huge! It was such a peace of mind knowing our cat was in such good care with Alyssa.”
“Larry was great with our two cats. It was our first time using Rover and I'll definitely be booking him again next time we need someone to watch our cats. All directions were followed and he even helped pickup the hairballs while we were away.”
“Jose did an amazing job with Marley! I was able to leave an entire week without having to worry once. Was always on time and walked my dog to the park every time. Marley loved Jose, so much so Marley was playing fetch with sticks which I’ve never seen him do! Jose also took amazing pictures at every check in”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs most of my life. This is the first time since I was 6 years old that I don't have a pup to take care of. I grew up in a very pet oriented household (including cats, dogs and pet pigs). I used to volunteer with my mom at the Mohawk Humane Society so I have a lot of experience with all different kinds of dogs. I live in a great walkable neighborhood with lots of greenery trails. I do work full time so I am not available from 8am-5pm but I have a very flexible schedule on weekends and nights after 5pm. I currently work full time at a Cardiologist Practice so I am available for walks and dog sitting on weekends only. I am available after 6pm for night time dog walks as well. I live in a very walkable area with lots of trails / sidewalks that I personally enjoy walking on daily. I do not personally have any animals so I have a lot of space and attention to give to a pup.
“Samantha was absolutely fantastic! With both my cats being terrified of people, she did a great job in giving them their space and allowing them to feel comfortable enough to come out and eat while she waited. This is the first time I’ve ever had to have somebody come over and feed them when I wasn’t home so I was extremely nervous, but everything went perfectly! (Even though she had to track them down for a picture at the end 😭)”
“Abigail was able to take our request on very short notice and was very accommodating. She interacted well with the animals, even our reactive dog. We very much appreciate her help!”
“Kaeleigh is excellent! All the cats loved her and even my extremely anxious cat allowed herself to be seen more than once (with assistance from Feliway I set up beforehand). We have a very complicated routine for our cats but she had no trouble at all. It was a huge relief to know someone reliable and experienced was checking up on our cats while we were away. Would book again :)”
About: As a pet owner myself, I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level. I’m experienced with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, brushing, playtime, and giving cats/dogs the space or attention they prefer. I love spending time with dogs and have experience caring for my friends’ dogs. I regularly play and interact with dogs, and I understand that every dog has its own personality, energy level, and needs. Whether they enjoy active playtime, relaxing walks, or just some extra attention, I always make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and safe. I work a regular full-time schedule, but I have availability outside of work and on weekends. I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines, and any special needs. I keep doors, gates, food, and surroundings secure and always respect your home.

“Jessica was fantastic with my cat! I arrived home after having to travel for work to a healthy and happy cat and an apartment that was just the way I had left it. Jessica provided a clear summary of each visit and was overall a great catsitter! Will book again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cohoes
Larry did a great job with my little guy! It was my first time using Rover and while I was initially nervous going in to using the app, after meeting Larry I felt completely at ease and knew I could trust him to take great care of my senior guy. My dog has bad separation anxiety and I needed someone to stay the whole time I was gone, which is a bigger ask than a drop in, but Larry was kind and willing to help from the get go. Highly recommend him!
I have a "special needs" kitty as she is diabetic and needs just the right amount of medicine given in a shot twice a day. Leaving her makes me very nervous. Kimberly met with me and my cat before I went away so that I could explain everything. In her correspondences and visits she was always on time, upbeat, and attentive to my cat. Happy to say that through my week of being away, she did exactly what she needed to do to give not just the medication but the attention to my precious kitty. I was SO GRATEFUL and RELIEVED. She asked where to leave the keys on her last visit and I said, "Keep them. If I go away again it'll be you I contact to care for my cat."
Amy did a wonderful job checking in on my Cody for me while at work. She was empathetic, punctual and communicative with timelines and photos every visit. She truly went above and beyond while watching him, and I know it was definitely a highlight of Cody’s day.
Elise was a very dedicated sitter! She made sure to get visual confirmation every day that the kitties were doing well. Our kitties are afraid of people and hide but she won them over, with treats of course! She was detail oriented following all of our directions. She provided a thorough description each day along with plenty of photos. It was a delight to see her updates. These put us at ease knowing the kitties were in great hands. I would absolutely book Elise again!
Kania is always so responsive and flexible for our drop ins, accommodating changes to our plan and being communicative at all times! I always feel at ease leaving Lux in her care knowing that Lux is happy and taken care of, and love receiving videos and pictures when im away!
Maria was wonderful to work with! She was communicative, kind and easy to work with when it came to meet ups and key drop off. I felt very comfortable leaving my cat in her care. 😊 I also very much appreciated all the photos and updates. Thank you Maria! Highly recommend her as a sitter for any animal!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cohoes is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $39 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 October 2026, there are 1,140 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cohoes. 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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cohoes. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 .
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.
