“Adriana was a huge help to me in a last minute request. She was great with the pets and it was clear they were comfortable with her from the pics she sent me. Thanks so much!”
“We recently moved and were nervous about leaving our cat and bearded dragon but Jamie did a great job of keeping us updated and sending pics. Traveling can be stressful as is and she gave us peace of mind that our babies were well taken care of. Will definitely book with her again :)”
About: Hello! I am a responsible and caring pet owner based in East Syracuse with lots of love to share. My only child has has flown south away from winter for college. So I am finding myself with extra time and loads of affection to share. Whether it's caring for your dogs or cats, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. From feeding and playtime to walks and cuddles; I’ll ensure they feel safe, loved and cared for while you're away. Feel free to reach out to discuss your pet care needs or if you’d like any additional information. Thank you for your consideration, Kristi V. I do work full time but have some flexibly with my schedule. I work at SU and live in East Syracuse. I'm free on the weekends and evenings. Safety and wellness for all animals is a priority to me. I'll make certain your pets are cared for and showered with affection. I know what's is like to worry when you're away from your fur baby.
“Kailyn is great! I’ve been gone two weeks and Squeekers is happy and healthy. She is also great with me, the nervous cat mom who will be away for a month. I was nervous about leaving Squeekers with a new person, but when Kailyn came for a Meet and Greet, we knew it was a great fit. I highly recommend her!”
“Jennifer is so kind and went above and beyond what our general drop-in request was. she also helped bring in mail and packages while we were gone. she kept the kittens fed and entertained. We will use her services any time she is available!!!”
“My cat felt safe interacting and snuggling up to John within minutes of first meeting him, and I think it’s because of John’s calm, intentional, gentle presence and demeanor. I couldn’t believe this is his first time cat-sitting because he was so good with my cat. He was quick to respond and was communicative throughout the visits, and asked many questions to get to know my cat’s routines and preferences. John was so polite and easygoing. He went above and beyond caring for my cat for the weekend, and this was a last minute scheduling given last minute plans. So grateful for John.”
“Maggie was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of my fur babies while we were on a family vacation. Will be rebooking and recommending her to friends and family! Please consider her!”
“Cori and Jamie are awesome, they have been incredibly patient with my dog, who does not do well with strangers. He has warmed up quickly to them - they certainly have a way with dogs. They are also very communicative, safe and conscientious about COVID. Highly recommend.”
“Our household has several special needs cats that all have a different care routine. Aubrey did an amazing job navigating their different requirements and respecting each of their very unique personalities and special needs. I will 100 percent be booking again in the very near future”
“Alison and Robert did a wonderful job pet sitting my five kitties. They are definitely pet people- my kitties felt comfortable around them right away. They were incredibly thorough, followed all of our specific instructions, and were able to successfully give my cat her heart failure medication too. I highly recommend Alison and Robert and will definitely use their services again in the future!”
“Deborah went above and beyond taking care of my animals! Sent a lot of pictures and videos and played with my dogs a bunch outside. She even got my mail while we were gone. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Zoe was great! She came over for a meet and greet and rolled with the punches as I ended up getting locked out of the apartment (lol!) She was very respectful of the space and the needs of my dog! She sent pictures and updates and was comfortable getting him in and out of his crate. I will definitely be reaching out to her again to watch my dog!”
“We have had Chelsea care for our cat multiple times now, she was always very reliable and communicative. She sends multiple photos and responds quickly if I have a question. Also our cat, who is a bit of an elderly grouch, likes her and looks forward to her visits!”
“This was our second time booking Kilie for our two finicky cats. She was totally on top of things, and everything went perfectly smoothly. Having someone we can trust, and who’s so easy to work with, makes us feel much more comfortable traveling away from home, even just for a day or two. Thanks again, Kilie! We’ll be booking again soon!”
“Chelsea was amazing!!! Had she not sent me updates and photos I would have no idea anyone was there, everything was in the exact same spot I left it! I was nervous to leave my kitties with someone new however she made it so easy and a breeze! I loved the daily pictures and highly recommend!!! Thanks again!”

Ali and Rob did amazing again with our babies while we were away. They went above and beyond and were very in tune with each cat's needs and wants. They gave us great updates and lots of info on each cat. We could tell they were well cared for and when we got home they were all comfortable and happy. We will definitely book them again!

We booked Kailyn for a week of in-home visits for our 2 dogs. She was amazing at sending daily photos and even used some doggie psychology to make sure one of our pups took her thyroid pill each day! They were both well cared for and we didn't have to worry about a thing. We will definitely be booking her again!
Cori and Jamie took good care of my kitty while I was away and I was able to have peace of mind while I was away from home, knowing that I could count on them. They were very attentive to her needs and spent time with her so she didn’t feel alone. They were great at communicating with me at all times. They even watered my outside potted plants so I didn’t come home to dead flowers. Will definitely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in DeWitt on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 582 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across DeWitt. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a DeWitt 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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in DeWitt. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
