About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of all kinds for over 10 years. I grew up with 3 cats and 2 dog. I love animals and I can stay in your home or host pets. Your dog will be allowed on the couch and bed. I have a fenced in back yard where your dog will always be accompanied by me. I will give lots of cuddles and love. I work full time but I have a hybrid schedule where I can be home all day. I can also stop in for visits as needed. I have a fenced in yard and will always be with your dog in the yard. We can go for great walks around the SUNY Albany campus. I currently have 2 cats that are very kind and curious.
“Was great with our 2 cats. Feed, them both, and gave medicine to our Lucky. Spent time petting and playing with them. Arrived on time, and sent pictures of our precious babies. We will hire again. The cats each gave her 2 paws up. :)”
“My cats tend to ignore me for a day or two after a trip because they’re frustrated that I left in the first place. But I came home this time to two happy, cuddly cats and I know that’s because Jillian took great care of them. She was also super responsive and kind during our communication about the visits as well. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Barbara was extremely great with my 2 cats. They usually aren’t friendly and like to hide but they warmed up to her! You can tell she really cares! I’ll definitely rebook for my next vacation!”

“Freedom has stayed with my cat several times now, caring for her for almost 2 weeks this last stay and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to stay with her. She has a real passion for animals and goes above and beyond to care for, play with, and love your pet. I highly recommend Freedom to care for your pet, she will always be my go-to sitter!”

About: I have extensive experience caring for animals of all species, especially dogs and cats.Through both personal and hands-on experience, I have developed strong skills in animal handling, feeding, health monitoring, and maintaining clean, safe living environments. I have a genuine passion for animals and am committed to providing compassionate, reliable care that promotes their health, comfort, and well-being. Pet care is already a central part of my daily routine. As the owner of my own pet sitting business, I carefully organize and schedule my days around my clients' needs to ensure every pet receives reliable, consistent, and attentive care. I plan visits according to each pet's established routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication administration, litter box or enclosure maintenance, and companionship. Having spent years caring for and rescuing animals, I am accustomed to structuring my schedule around their well-being. My flexible routine allows me to provide dependable care while giving each pet the time, attention, and individualized support they deserve. I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while their owners are away. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care is always my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, medical needs, and any special instructions provided by their owner. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I maintain a clean, calm, and secure environment and closely monitor pets for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. I understand that every animal is unique and deserves individualized care, patience, and attention. I follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise requirements, and household rules exactly as requested. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel confident and reassured while they are away. As a lifelong animal caregiver with extensive experience caring for animals, I strive to build trust with both pets and their owners by treating every animal as if they were my own.
“Lauren took excellent care of our two young cats while we were away! Our cats were happy and settled when we returned home, which isn’t easy to accomplish with kitties under a year. Lauren is a wonderful communicator and provided lots of updates with photos - we knew they were in good hands. She also left our home very clean. We highly recommend Lauren and will absolutely welcome her back!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Delmar
Karen was great! She came at the right times every day and was very careful to follow my instructions for feeding my two cats. They have a special diet that involved a couple extra step to serve. She was flexible when the dates of my trip changed. And what a pleasant person. I would definitely recommend her to other cat owners, and use her again myself.
Maria and Brandi are the best! My cat is a grumpy 13 year old guy with kidney disease and hyperthyroidism. He needs meds 2x a day and is mean to everyone if I'm not there but Maria and Brandi still sit with him and try their hardest to play with him. I never worry about how he's doing when they're there. Can't recommend them enough!
This was the longest my husband and I have left our two cats since adopting them and we were confident that Jen would take great care of them! She sent daily updates with adorable photos and I can tell that Charlie and Willow loved Jen! We'll definitely use her again the next time we need a cat sitter.
Erica is an amazing person and a caring pet sitter. They helped take care of my two kitties fish and plants while I was away. During our meet and greet Erica was engaging and attentive when I was explaining the tasks I would like done. Erica went above and beyond. My kitty got a nervous stomach while I was away and Erica helped clean the mess so I wasn’t extra stressed when I got back. Skittles takes a long time to warm up to pet sitters but she didn’t hide this time and Erica made sure to feed her separately from her brother. Tiberius is happy Erica gave love and attention when we were gone as he gets extra lonely. Thank you again Erica. Best pet sitter I had on rover.

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 .
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.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
