“Karen was amazing at caring for our two cats while we were away for a week! Both were looked after lovingly and I appreciate how much Karen communicated with us and how reliable she was! Karen managed to bond with our more shy cat and get her to take her medicine. It was wonderful knowing Polly and Vinny were in good hands!”
“Vicki is incredibly kind and sweet with my two cats! This is a repeat booking, and I already have her booked for another upcoming cat sitting!! Thank you Vicki for your reliability and passion for animals!🤩”
“Ashlyn was reliable and prompt as a pet sitter. Our dog, Lando, was well taken care of and loved his time with Ashlyn while we were away. Will definitely use Ashlyn in the future.”
About: For a year, I walked my neighbor's Cavalier King Charles spaniel while she was recovering from a hip injury, until she could walk better. She and her daughter greatly appreciated my help and have said to me that their dog Cooper has been so much happier ever since he met me. I am a college student that goes to school 5 days a week from 7am to 2 pm. I can do early morning walks before 7am since I am a morning person, and I can do walks or come over after class. I am free on most weekends. I am free most of the time in the summer from June to August. I cannot bring pets into my home since I have two cats that are not very pet-friendly. But I can do all the care you need me to do at your house.
“Jessie has been visiting our pup for almost 6 weeks now. She is exactly what we needed for our energetic puppy during the day. Jessie is an excellent communicator and we always know when she is checking in and out with our dog. She also sends daily pictures which is great for us to feel like we haven’t missed a beat. We are so thankful to Jessie and highly recommend for your furry friends!”

About: I am an active animal lover experienced caring for both older dogs and puppies, even at the same time. I have experience giving meds and helping pets with limited mobility. Puppy training experience too! Cats and pocket pets also welcome. I rescue dogs as a volunteer, and pets are my passion! Included: brushing, medication administration, hiking, kongs, potty training, basic command training for puppies. If desired, I can include a play date with my border collie, too. Young Dog: 2 hikes a day and midday play session. Older Dog: 2 walks as mobility allows. Or 2 big snuggle sessions with brushing and meds. I am a teacher off for the summer and available for house sitting, drop ins, and dog hiking. I have my own dogs cared for by my family at home, so I can arrange for playdates! I follow the rules you set out and keep to the routine your dog is used to. I use positive reinforcement training only, and I have no problem with leash pulling, prey drive etc. I work with these issues using training treats as approved by you!
About: Dogs and Cats are basically my life, I have always loved and worked with animals growing up. I currently have a 9 year old Blue Nose Pittie at home as well as 5 year old Domestic Cat and 1 year old Domestic Cat! I love all breeds and sizes! I worked at East Greenbush Animal hospital for 3 years and although I have a new job, through working there I have gained experience not only through my animals but others as well. I love going on walks with dogs and letting them have the most fun they can! Whether your pet is down to earth, hyper off the walls or in the middle, I’d love to be able to visit and help out! I can not stay over night with your pets, but can let them out in the morning and evenings! I am looking forward to seeing all the dogs and cats Thanks! I can go before my work in the mornings, during the late afternoon once I am off work, and later at night to help with your pets. I always make sure your pets are comfortable in the environment they are in, keeping them safe and at peace is a huge roll while sitting.
“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!”
“Kaylee was great! Our dog Penny really liked her and she knew exactly how to deal with her over-active energy. She followed instructions really well and has a calm disposition. Took great care of my kitties, too. We'll definitely call on her again for future needs!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was seven. I’ve been riding horses for eight years and just love any animal I can be around. I will walk dogs, bathe them, feed them, sit them basically do anything. I’ve had many dogs I’ve watched in the past and everyone was satisfied. I go to work part time at a vet clinic in Albany NY. My weekends are usually free unless I have a half day shit at the clinic based on my schedule I can always make sure to get to your house and look after your pet at any time if available. i take care of my own animals with meticulous care and love. I have 3 dogs and 7 cats and 1 horse so i know everything there is to know about taking care of them

About: Hi! I’m Lauren, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m dependable, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, and I take the time to earn their trust and provide personalized care. I’ll happily follow your pet’s routine, administer medications if needed, and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently pursuing a career in healthcare, where attention to detail, compassion, and reliability are essential every day. I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. My services include: • Drop-in visits • Dog walking • House sitting • Feeding and fresh water • Playtime and enrichment • Medication administration (if needed) • Daily photo and text updates I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible while giving your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve! I am currently a college student and my schedule is currently flexible with availability. I can work with you to help you find the right fit. I have two small dogs myself and cannot provide in house for an extended period of time with a larger animal. Have a partially fenced house
About: I have been working at a local animal hospital for the past four years but loving animals for much longer! Growing up, I was always the person that would volunteer to watch friends and family member’s pets. When I started working at the animal hospital, I was introduced to clients who needed at-home pet sitting/walking and realized how much joy comes from directly interacting with pets in a comfortable environment. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes and I am able to administer most medications. I understand the stress of being away from your fur-baby so I am committed to help easing that stress by communicating well and treating your pet like my own. As a bonus, I have always been involved with photography so I make sure to send plenty of photos! My schedule at the animal hospital varies week to week but if I am working, I am still able to take care of your pet in the morning before work, during my lunch break and after my shifts. I am currently reducing my hours to dedicate more time to pet sitting so it is flexible! If possible, I do like to do a meet and greet ahead of time for all new pets. This allows me to walk through their routine with you and make sure I know what each pet’s quirks so that I can tailor a plan to ensure they are in a safe environment. Some dogs can be trusted to be alone but some cannot and that’s okay! I am flexible and can make adjustments based on the pets needs. If the dog stays at my home, it is kept tidy with nothing left out that can be snatched by a naughty puppy (AKA mine! LOL). I also have a fenced in yard that’s perfect for playing in and I am near walking trails. The dog will need to be friendly with other dogs and cats in order to be boarded at my home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 544 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across East Schodack. 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 Schodack. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
