Chelsea took excellent care of my kitties! I was very happy with her in all aspects. She sent me a report card daily with photos, my skittish darlings came to her each day which they rarely do with anyone but me, she was extemely pleasant and courteous, etc. I could go on and on with rave reviews about her! I currently have no travel plans in the forseeable future, but I will certainly contact Chelsea for sure. Thank you!

Katie was very communicative and responsive. She sent thorough updates and photos, and is very friendly and reliable. She took the time to understand each of our kitties’ personalities, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be booking her again!

Steph (Net) really stepped up for my family during a tough time. Our dog Luna passed right before a family vacation. We felt guilty leaving our other pup, Howie but Steph spoiled him rotten. He got so many treats, kisses, and walks under her care. There are not enough words to thank her for giving him comfort during this transition. She is kind, punctual, and leaves the best report cards after each visit!

Samantha was an amazing caregiver to our older, very shy cat, Rambo! Rambo actually came out of hiding when Samantha first visited! Rambo continued to come out for pets every time Samantha dropped by. We loved seeing the pics! Rambo looked so happy & comfortable. We were sure she was going to miss Samantha when we returned! Rambo is a sloppy litter box user, and Samantha did a great job tidying up after her. Our trip was extra enjoyable knowing that Rambo was being looked after by someone as caring and responsible as Samantha.

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. :)

This was our first experience using Rover so I was a bit nervous. I contacted Julia and she came over for a meet and greet a few days ahead of time. She took excellent care of our two cats who are older and cranky at times. Julia was great! I loved getting the updates and pictures after each visit. That totally put my mind at ease. I would not hesitate to hire her again! Very happy customer!

Sophia did an amazing job watching my 2 dogs! She sent detailed updates, lots of photos, and went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable while I was gone for 10 days. She maintained a high level of communication and I never had to worry. I highly recommend her for taking care of any pet you need!

About: Hello there, fellow pet parents! I’m Taylor and I can’t wait to meet your furry, feathery, and scaly companions! I have spent as much of my life as I can remember caring for and being around all types of animals. Honestly being around animals just makes me the happiest I could be. I have 5 rescue animals of my own! 2 dogs, 2 Cats, and a bird! All of which I rescued not from a shelter but by very happy coincidences! I work part time at a boarding facility so I’m with animals not just at home but at work as well!! I work remote for my full time job half the week so my availability is pretty open. As I work at a boarding facility I have a wealth of experience when it comes to a wide verity of pets. I understand the importances of feeding times, administration of medication, and routines in general. Your pets health and safety is my top priority. I know when I am away from my animals I love getting updates so I believe communication is key. I love sending photos and updates so when you’re not there you can still feel with them! I am dedicated to providing the service that I would want for my pet family. Your pets happiness is my top priority! I am very excited to meet your pets! I work remote half of the week so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals on the other days I can be there before and after my shift. I will treat your dog and your home as if it were my own. I follow the established routine provided by the owner to ensure a stress free and fun time

About: Thank you for checking out my profile! I am happy to dog sit in my home (dog and cat friendly). I love to walk, hike, & go on many adventures with my pets! I look forward to watching/walking your “fur babies” and getting to know you! I work as a full time physical therapist but work very close to home so I am able to stop for potty breaks. Walks and drop ins can also happen first thing in the morning or after work hours! I have a fully fenced in yard, pool, and a very cute mini goldendoodle your pup will get to play with! We have lots of walks and neighborhood walking trails near by!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 535 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across East Poestenkill. 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 Poestenkill. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

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.
