About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. Whether your pet needs high energy walks, timely feedings, or just quality companionship while you’re away, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m attentive to daily routines and always keep owners updated with regular check-ins. I have a relatively flexible daily schedule that allows me to easily fit in check-ins, feeding times, and visits. I am reliably available throughout the week to drop by and care for your cat on time. When visiting your home, I ensure everything stays secure and clean. I always double-check doors and windows, follow your exact care instructions, and treat your living space with complete respect while looking after your pet.
About: I've been caring for animals in different capacities for at least a year, and being a cat owner myself has shown me how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Our pets are family, and they deserve to be treated with the same love and attention we give them ourselves. I have experience walking dogs, as well as caring for cats with specific needs. Specifically, with my own cat who has kidney disease and eats prescription food. Additionally, I have experience administering medication (through food as well as by syringe). My goal is to provide every pet with compassionate, reliable care while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family members are in good hands. My schedule is currently very flexible for the summer, allowing me to accommodate a variety of booking needs. Before any service, I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet's routine and needs, and ensure we're a great fit. I want you to feel completely comfortable and confident that your pet will be in caring, reliable hands. When your pet is with me, they'll receive plenty of affection, playtime, and personalized care based on their needs and personality. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated, so you can expect regular messages, along with adorable photos and videos, to let you know how your furry friend is doing and how their walk or visit is going.
“Evangelina is very thorough and attentive. She sent multiple pictures of what she had done which I really really appreciate. Thank you for taking care of my cats!!!!”
“Rachelle is great. She came over before she watched him to meet him and went above and beyond. She is so nice to Winston and sent great photos. Will definitely continue using her services.”
“First time having a ca sitter who wasn’t a personal friend and they put me at ease with the whole thing. Very kind but still professional and my cat instantly got along with them which was great!”
“Chelsea does great with my puppy Ringo! She was able to come last minute ( my daughter called me worried about him when she left for work, she said he was barking and had some separation anxiety! ) By the time I got home, he was a happier puppy after Chelsea’s visit!”
About: 10+ years of dog handling experience from puppies and small dogs to larger dogs nothing can phase me. I am a calm and assertive person with lots of love and kisses to give to your furbabies! I have successfully potty trained several puppies as well as basic training. I have walked/cared for dogs from several companies with consistent 5 star reviews now that i have children i have slowed down. I am also cat and dog first aid/cpr certified by the redcross. I am very knowledgeable and hope to welcome you and your pup to the Ruff House . I am a stay at home mom so i am home all day everyday i find so much joy in caring for my family and dogs I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company! I also have a crate for just in case. Dogs are usually free roaming i do not crate any dogs at all unless it is requested.
“Omolayo is such a sweetheart. She’s great with my dog, super communicative and easy going. I always know when she’s with my baby my baby’s gonna be having a GOOD TIME and be well taken care of 💜”
About: I have been petsitting since I was a kid, for neighbors, friends, and family. I have experience with a range of house hold pets, but mostly with dogs and cats. I grew up with pets and currently have one spoiled cat. I help support my family's 7 cats and 6 dogs when I am able to and asked to. I make sure your fur baby is as cared for as my own, and I offer consistent updates about your pet's care and well-being since I understand the stress of being gone from your loved one! I work on many creative pursuits from home while volunteering my time outside the house. I have a flexible schedule to accommodate complex pet care throughout the day. So I am looking to offer pet care in my free time for my communities! I prioritize Morticia's health and well being every day. She gets 3 measured meals of wet food a day, her litter box gets cleaned out daily, she gets her teeth brushed, her fur brushed, and lots of play time and snuggles. You can rest assured that I would treat any critter with the same love, affection, and attention that I do for Morticia. I have enough experience with dogs and cats to understand their body language, and do my best to avoid upsetting them. I am told I would be great with horses because of my calming presence and words with animals.
“Melissa was amazing with all four of our family dogs. She came into the chaos of our family with ease and took it on with the most competence and grace. We will definitely be using Melissa again when we are in town next! We are beyond appreciative for her stepping up and taking such amazing care of our dogs. Thank you Melissa!”
“It was great to have Selena hang out with my cat a couple times while I was out of town. She was super communicative and flexible as well. Thanks again, Selena!”
“Mellanie was super respectful & courteous. Her level communication made me feel extremely comfortable about having her in my home & around my pets. She even went above beyond w/ treats & toys.”
About: I usually work with shy, aggressive or fearful dogs or cats. It can take weeks, months or years to befriend them but when you do it's extremely rewarding, especially when an animal someone deems "dangerous" comes out to be the biggest sweetheart. I have tons of patience and I believe every species of animal deserves love and respect. As humans, it's our duty to be the voices and guardians of the animals in our care. They look to us for comfort, guidance, love and peace. That's why I do anything in my power to donate or volunteer at animal shelters because every animal should know that there's humans out there that actually care about their well being. Working with animals is a great career for me. Update; 8/2020 I’ve been volunteering and working with pets as a professional pet care provider for five years now. Through my journey I’ve learned pet CPR and gained dog training knowledge through Poochpals llc as well as worked as a dog handler at walterspetstyles. I’m currently working on becoming a certified dog trainer and furthering my knowledge on Pet care. At Poochpals we believe in being a friend for life so I’m definitely bringing our motto into the field and looking to become a furever friend for your pets. If you’re ever in need of an actual PROFESSIONAL pet care provider, look no further! I also have basic training knowledge so don’t be surprised if your pup or cat comes back knowing a few new tricks 😂 I have open availability Monday-Sunday. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! My dog, Odin, loves to make new friends of all species. Updates:4/7/2026 Hello friends! I would not be at 29 Hanford anymore due to instability, so I’m moving my business down to NYC before heading to PA. We have multiple fences in house and around the property. Pups are also supervised 24/7 and we have a designated dog room just for them. Back porch is also secured with gates. Dogs aren’t allowed on the lawn without human supervision and a 20ft leash. Lawn is fenced. We have strict safety procedures when it comes down to pets and children.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - East New York
Taylor was incredible with our two cats and Lady Serena, who is normally very wary of strangers, really came out of her shell with her! We had neighbors look after them the last few days we were away and they were amazed at how much more social Lady was. Taylor was also incredibly flexible after we went through several travel delays. Couldn’t recommend enough!
Vanessa was absolutely wonderful as a drop in sitter - very communicative, friendly, flexible, and all around very easy to work with. It was clear to me she was more concerned about making sure my cat’s needs were taken care of over anything else. She proactively asked questions when I forgot or left out details, and MOST importantly, she always made sure to give my fur baby lots of love! Highly recommend, and I would not hesitate to book again in the future!
Happy my kitties have a new trusted support now! I feel very comfortable and safe hving Sophia take care of my babies -- especially as one of my kitties wasn't feeling well and needed medication administer (and would hide/spit out the meds), Sophia administered the meds and our kitty is doing fantastic as we got home this weekend. Thanks Sophia! Will definitely see you soon.
Lynn was excellent to work with. She’s so warm and friendly and I felt comfortable leaving my cats in her care. She updated me when it looked like they hadn’t eaten much from the night before (totally normal for them), which I really appreciated knowing. I’ll definitely book her again!
Azure took wonderful care of our two orange boys! She kept a very consistent schedule and sent us detailed updates about how much they were eating and how they were doing. She kept their space and our things very clean and organized, which was much appreciated when we returned back from a long trip. Azure was great with both our outgoing cat and our shyer one. We will definitely be asking her to take care of the boys again. Thank you, Azure!
The ratings don't lie - Diane is the best! Super professional, knowledgeable, responsible, and communicative. Diane had no problem giving our older cat medications and keeping him well while we were away for 2 weeks. Our cat obviously loves her! Highly recommend, we will definitely hire her again!

As of August 2026, there are 12,291 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across East New York. 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 East New York. On Rover:

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.
