About: Hi! I’m Caitlin, a lifelong animal lover with nearly 10 years of pet-sitting experience. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, much more and I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m skilled in feeding, exercise, medications, and daily care, always making sure pets get the attention and love they deserve. As a daycare teacher, patience, safety, and reliability come naturally to me. I treat every pet as if they were my own, creating a calm, happy, and stress-free experience. Whether you need walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, you can trust that your furry friends will be well cared for, loved, and spoiled while you’re away. I work 6:30 AM–3:30 PM as a preschool teacher. I’m available for overnight stays during the week, and depending on your pet’s location, I may be able to stop by during my lunch break for a quick potty break. I’m also available for evening walks, drop-in visits, and weekend care. I provide care in your home, following your pet’s routine and rules to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable. I offer walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, always supervising to ensure your pet is secure and stress-free. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency, tailoring care to each pet’s personality and needs. You can relax knowing your furry, feathery, or scaly friend will receive attentive, loving, and reliable care while you’re away
“We feel very fortunate to have found Kimberly to look after our daughter’s cat while we were away visiting family during Christmas week. Kimberly did a drop in visit at our house each day, and sent daily pics to our daughter - which she really appreciated. The cat got to stay at home, we had daily contact and peace of mind, and at a much lower cost than a kennel or cat hotel. A real win-win. Thanks so much, Kimberly !”
“Cam took great care of our cat Sylvester! He was very professional, communicative, and followed all our normal routines which kept Sylvester happy! He also took the time to have a meet and greet with us which we really appreciated!”
About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover, and I’ve been surrounded by dogs of all breeds my entire life and have years of experience walking and pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience with basic training, patience, and positive reinforcement as well as being comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, and I always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. I am a very active person, so I’m not deterred if a dog has hyperactive needs! I work 3–4 weekdays per week, typically about 7 hours a day. My schedule often allows flexibility before or after shifts for morning or afternoon walks and check-ins. I do not work nights or weekends, and I’m also available for longer hikes or excursions on those days. I prioritize keeping a consistent routine making sure the transition is as smooth as possible; this includes ensuring feeding schedules, walk times and other specific care needs are met. I love enrichment through walks, play, and companionship so that your pet feels comfortable while their owner is away.
“Julia is a superb pet sitter. We were travelling out of the country leaving behind our 3 highly pampered cats, the eldest of which is 18 years old. She took beautiful care of them, twice a day, and kept us posted with updates and pictures. She cleaned up after them, brushed them, changed the litter and food, and got rid of the garbage just as I had instructed. The house smelled fresh and was clean when we got back. I could not ask for a better pet sitter. Her care made our vacation much more relaxed. The cats were happy too.”
“From the moment we met Diana my dog and kitten both responded to her with no hesitation- my dog loved her from first meeting. Our trip was extended and she was flexible with all the back and forth changes . Which we really appreciate and was reassuring! Not only did she add on last minute service, she also was ready to adjust payment ( credit) for scheduling changes . I am thankful to have found her, and will happily ask for continued help with Diana!”
“Natalia did a great job looking after my cats. They are shy but she did a good job finding them in their hiding spots, and she did a good job communicating with us while we were away.”
“Martin was amazing with my two dogs. He spent the time to built their trust and love and took them on long and engaging walks which left them exhausted. I 100% recommend him.”
“Becky is amazing! You can tell immediately she is an “animal person” by her energy, and I knew our girls would be in fantastic hands. I was extra nervous since one of our kitties has anxiety and is on medication - it’s a lot to ask of someone else to care for her - but Becky was completely unfazed and didn’t hesitate for a minute. I was totally reassured every minute we were gone and was actually able to enjoy my vacation knowing Becky had everything handled. Thank you, Becky!”
About: I’m a caring, responsible, and easy-going person who truly loves animals. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for I’m very flexible and I can work around a lot of times and make a lot of times work. We can work together to find what works best. I always make sure that animals are put in situations where they have the ability to thrive and are never in situations where their safety is in jeopardy.
“Samantha provided drop in visits for our 3 cats while we were away on vacation. She was super friendly, reliable and an excellent communicator. She was also accommodating to our specific requests and we were able to relax knowing that our cats and house were in amazing hands while we were away. We will not hesitate to book Samantha again in the future.”
“Delphine provided excellent cat sitting services for Bill. She sent frequent updates and photos, keeping me reassured throughout. Bill was clearly well-cared for and happy in her care. Highly recommend!”
About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life and know how to make animals feel comfortable and cared for. I offer dog walking and cat boarding from my home in Yorktown Heights. Guest cats stay in their own private room with fresh food, water, and a clean litter box. For dog walking I keep things low stress, consistent, and fun. I work from home regularly so I'm around often and take every pet's routine seriously. I treat every animal like my own. I work from home frequently which means pets in my care are never left alone for long stretches. For dog walking I'm flexible on timing and can work around your schedule for morning, afternoon, or evening walks. For cat boarding, guest cats get visits multiple times a day including morning feeding, a midday check-in, and an evening wind-down with fresh food, clean water, and a scooped litter box. Weekends I'm generally very available and weekdays I can accommodate most requests with a little advance notice. I genuinely enjoy spending time with and meeting new animals so this isn't a job to me, it's a passion. I have a dog and two cats of my own so I know firsthand what animals need to feel safe and comfortable. Guest cats are kept in their own private, dedicated room completely separate from my resident pets, giving them a quiet space to decompress and settle in at their own pace. For dog walking I keep things calm and consistent, always on leash, through the safe residential streets of Yorktown Heights or local parks where my dog frequents himself. I pay close attention to each animal's personality and adjust my approach accordingly. Whether a pet is social and energetic or shy and cautious, I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. My home is peaceful, clean, and genuinely pet friendly.
About: I have had dogs, cats, puppies in my life since I was born. I have had the pleasure of training all types of dogs in many different areas. When I was younger my family used to always take trips up to Marthas Vineyard, we always had to leave our dogs at a kennel which we realized later on was not the best thing to do for our dogs. Emotionally/mentally we could tell it had taken a toll on them, so we started leaving them home with Pet Sitters. That was the best decision we had made. I want to be able to provide the same love and care that our pet sitters have provided in the past, but for your pet! Im currently working privately as a Personal Trainer and a Hypnotherapist Practitioner so my schedule is quite flexible. I also offer Reiki for both people and pets (Dogs, Cats, Horses)!!! I don’t typically board pets but would be willing to work with someone if the situation was right. I am also willing and able to crate your pet if thats something you do in your home!
“Marta went above and beyond!!! I knew after the initial visit with Marta my 3 cats would be well taken care of. Marta was on time for each visit, making sure they had all they needed, even spending quality time with the cats during each visit. Marta communicated promptly and sent great pics of the cats after each visit. Marta made my 8 days out of the country stress free because I knew the cats would be well taken care of. I will definitely use Marta again in the future and highly recommend!!!! 5 stars!!! Thank you, Marta!!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs for over 12 years. And love them like they was family. And I watch all my friends and families dogs. I also work for wag. I have open availability for boarding. My favorite animal is a dog i always wants to be with dogs. ( i use to own cats too incase any feline friends need. I had 4 dogs growing up and as a child it was my job to care for them. When my parents sold the house because of their split they split the dogs
“Michelle was very easy to work with. She gave us regular updates on our cats and dog and spent lots of quality time with them. She even swam with our water-loving dog! I will use her in the future and highly recommend.”
About: I have had years of experience with other peoples pets, and primarily my own. I have taken care of my own Dogs, cats, snakes, hamsters, horses, and fish over the years. I’ve grown up with puppies, and currently have my own 2 kittens, and also have had elderly dogs, cats, and horses before. I have always adored animals, and have always been an important part in my life so I would love to make more furry friends with your pets:) I currently am enrolled in school at The University of New Hampshire. My schedule is super open this semester since I took summer classes so my work load would be easier. In home care : I would make sure to send client photos if l was boarding their pet at my apartment, and make sure I follow the exact instructions given. When other people watch my pets , there’s always the anxiety of making sure they are treated well, and taken care of. Clients home: if I took care of the clients pets, I would make sure that I followed all the rules given and more. I understand it can be uncomfortable for a stranger to be in your house, so trust and reassurance everything is safe it’s important as a pet and home owner
“Another great experience!!! Jean always leaves my home so nice and my pets happy 😊. I was gone for quite a while this time (honeymoon), and I came home to two very happy cats, my mail inside, and plenty of food/water. I always feel so secure when I know she’s coming around and can actually relax and rest assured they’re in good hands :). No one else I would book with and look forward to having Jean around again!!! ♥️ as always, thank you!! ☺️”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Cross River stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Cross River 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Cross River with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
