About: With over 2 years of hands-on experience through BOCES in animal science and direct pet care, I’ve built a strong foundation in understanding animal behavior, health, and handling. I’ve worked with a wide variety of animals—from dogs and cats to small animals and farm animals—and I apply that knowledge to every pet I care for. What sets me apart: 🐾 2 Years of BOCES Animal Science Training – Gained in-depth knowledge of animal care, grooming, nutrition, and behavior through a structured, hands-on program. 🐾 Puppy Training Basics – Experienced in house-training, crate-training, and teaching simple commands using positive reinforcement. 🐾 Senior Pet Care – Comfortable administering oral medications, assisting with mobility, and giving extra patience to older pets. 🐾 Pet CPR & First Aid Certified – I’m trained to handle emergency situations calmly and confidently. 🐾 Farm & Large Animal Experience – Confident caring for goats, pigs, horses, and more, including feeding, mucking, grooming, and turnout. 🐾 Personalized Pet Attention – I take the time to understand each pet’s routine and personality, helping them feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you're away. Thanks to my BOCES background and real-world experience, I bring both knowledge and heart to every pet sitting job I take on. Pet care is a big part of my daily life—it’s not just something I do, it’s something I love. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to each pet I care for, whether it’s a morning walk, midday potty break, or overnight stay. I'm available for: 🕘 afternoon, and evening visits 🌙 Overnight stays and extended care 📅 Weekdays & weekends – I’m open most days and can often accommodate last-minute bookings. Because I plan my day around the pets I care for, I make sure each one gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. Your pet’s routine becomes my routine while they’re in my care! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat the space with respect and maintain a calm, clean, and secure environment for their pets. I stick to your routines as closely as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs—so your pet feels safe and stress-free while you're away.

About: I am an animal lover that grew up with a menagerie of cats, rabbits, anoles, hermit crabs, hamsters and a Border Collie mix who loved to urban mush with me rollerblading. For a couple years I had gotten involved with fostering dogs and puppies of various ages, sizes, energy levels and temperaments. I loved watching shelter dogs come out of their shells and learning about their personalities and needs. I am no longer able to foster due to time and space and I miss it a lot. My current space does not allow for boarding/daycare services but I do have a lot of time in the morning/early afternoon for drop in visits. I do not work Mondays/ Tuesdays so I am available anytime for drop in visits on those days. I am happy to follow all instructions (you know your pet best!). Most pets are happiest on their home turf, I am here to provide a little socializing and break up the day for them until you return home.

About: I've been around animals my entire life. I had 2 dogs and a cockatiel growing up that I helped care for. I have personally owned dogs, rats, fish, rabbits, chickens and ducks. I also used to foster small animals for a local rescue and have found fantastic homes for over 50 small animals. I work a few hours a day from home so I have plenty of time to interact and take care of your pets & fur babies. I'm available most days and nights. I am self-employed and work from home so I can take care of your pets needs at any time of the day since my schedule is flexible. I personally have 2 dogs, a rabbit, chickens and ducks at my home so there are plenty of things to help keep your pets occupied and happy. I also used to foster small animals for a rescue I helped out with. My yard is unfenced, but I live on a quiet street and have an open area across from my home to play fetch or throw a frisbee with your dogs and mine. In regards to caring for pets in your own home I follow any directions you give me for food/treat schedules, how often they need to go outside, things your pets can and cannot do, etc.

About: I have been raised around and have been rescuing animals all my life! To use the word passionate to describe myself would be an understatement. My experience with animals has been nothing short of amazing, from birthing farm animals, to rescuing dogs and cats from terrible situations, I have seen it all, and working in Vet med and animal shelters has been what’s driven me even more to just simply be kind and love all those who are more than deserving of it. I started Rover as a side gig but it’s turned into something much more rewarding for me. Booking with me, I can guarantee your pets will get treated the exact way I treat mine (which may be a little too spoiled) haha! I always make the time for not only my personal pets but yours as well! They would have plenty of daily exercise and Enrichment! ☺️ We would be going on plenty of walks and getting to go on many field trips with my personal dog as well! I always make sure to provide enough enrichment and stimulation throughout the day through various activities!

About: **More then happy to negotiate prices** I have taken care of dogs, cats, and some barn animals since 2016 (or before that!). I have worked in the veterinary field since 2021; receptionist, boarding team, assistant, and manager. I am certified to do therapy exercises with dogs and similar pets. I have experience with medically complex/special needs pets. One of my current dogs are dog-selective and I have had fear-free training, which makes me comfortable with animals who need behavioral accommodations. I am comfortable medicating pets (oral, topical, and injectable). I do work full time, but when ever I am not at work and I am able to take care of more animals I will! As long as our schedules match I can care for your pet. I do not have the ability to care for pets in my house. But in your home I can follow any rules/schedules to make sure your pet is comfortable, medically taken care of, and happy! I am comfortable using the following tools: crates, harness, gentle leaders, prong collars, training collars, and different procedures required for medication administration.

About: Hey! My name is Emma. I've been apart of the pet care industry for 3 years. I've always adored cats ever since I was a child, but my true passion for dogs started when I got my first dog at 17 (I'm 21 now) My Golden Retriever named Molly inspired me to start my career as a dog trainer. Since then I've spent hundreds of hours working on my skills and perfecting the craft. I've volunteered at the Hornell Humane Society where I've walked dogs. I've also completed a 3 month mentorship with a professional trainer, Ash Osborn with the Pawsitive Pups Academy. Since then I've started taking both training and dog sitting/walking clients! I believe my skills make me a great option for all your pet care needs. I will never turn down dogs with behavioral issues. Being a pet professional is my full time job so I am available around the clock for your every need! I'm available Monday through Sunday unless I state otherwise. I care for the pets in my clients home with the patience and integrity. I will always to my best to maintain a clean and safe environment.

About: Hi my name is Desaray! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for many different breeds of dogs and cats growing up. Growing up,I also pet sat for family friends, caring for their dogs as well as other animals, which helped me become comfortable with pets of all personalities and energy levels. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it's going on fun walks, playing fetch, keeping them active, or simply giving them lots of love and attention, I make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. My goal is to give every pet plenty of exercise, affection, and personalized care so you can feel confident they're in good hands while you're away. I currently am not working but am actively searching. So right now my schedule is free everyday. That may change if I am able to get another job! When taking care of my pets or anyone else’s I am always making sure safety is the number one priority. I will do whatever you need me to do and more while taking care of your animals!

About: I have been taking care of dogs and pets since I was a young kid. I have also grown up with dogs in the house so I am very experienced with how to care and supervise any pets. My parents dog (that I have spent many years caring for) requires a lot of attention and supervision so I am used to giving pets lots of extra care! All dogs have their own personalities, quirks and characteristics. I have experience caring for all dogs, whether it be size, age or personality. I also am able to happily follow any specific instructions (including feeding, medications, etc..) you give me as I also have experience with different needs. I have a very flexible schedule so I am able to offer very attentive care to your dog. I am a student but most of my courses are currently online, giving me lots of time to spend with your pet(s). When I am caring for pets, whether it be in my home or a clients home, I always try to make the pets feel as comfortable and happy as they can be! I do my absolute best to make sure all the pets needs are met and more. I love to entertain any playfulness or energy that they have!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I provide personalized care for every pet, including puppy training reinforcement, senior pet support, medication administration, exercise, playtime, and consistent communication with owners through updates and photos. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine because I work full time with dogs and have over four years of hands-on experience. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, and providing attentive, reliable care every day. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages. My experience working full time with dogs for over four years has helped me become confident with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments.

About: Grew up with a Labrador retriever from the time I was nine until I turned twenty-one. Have always been a dog lover, I pet sit and help my friends local to me with letting them outside, sitting with them so they don't have to be in a cage all day, and loving them as my own. Pet care is included in my daily routine, feeding my cats twice a day, cleaning their litter boxes, brushing them out, and playing with them is my favorite part of my days. I will treat each animal in my care as my own. They will be happy and loved while you can't be there. Cannot wait to meet them!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Dansville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 101 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Dansville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dansville. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

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.
