“Tori was great! Arrived right on time, gave an insulin shot no problem, and spent the rest of the time giving loves and taking cute pictures. We'll absolutely use her services again and would recommend to others!”

“Katie is prompt and dependable. We absolutely loved reading her posts about our kitties while we were on vacation. Even our shyest cat warmed up to her which is unheard of! Truly a testament to her way with animals. We would rebook Katie in a heartbeat! Thank you so much, Katie!”

“This was our first booking with Rover and Sarah. She kept us updated on our kitties and sent tons of pics. Sarah is very personable and professional. If she wasn’t sure of something she didn’t hesitate to ask (we told her to reach out anytime with questions). Our getaway turned into a great trip knowing our animals were being taken care of. Sarah truly put my mind at ease and we are forever grateful.”
About: 'No worries'. I want you to feel confident in your decision to have a true 'No worries' time away from home. I can confidently say, I will give your fur baby(s) the best care they will need while your away. I can if needed administer medications as well. You tell me what your baby's specific needs are, I'm here to fill that need. I love doggies and know how It is important, as I know it is important to you to have your fur babies comfortable, happy, healthy and safe. . Hi, my name is Lucinda. I bring ease and confidence to your pets with a natural calmness and patience about me, which helps fur babies feel comfortable and safe. As a kid, I loved to spend time with my dogs, my horses, the rabbits and chickens. And for most of my life continued adopt and parent different breeds of dogs, gaining mutual respect and giving basic obedience training, and to walk nicely on a leash. Throughout my life I've owned poochies as small as 8 lb Terrie-poo, a young active golden retriever, a springer spaniel, an American pitbull and on up to a 130 lb Samoyon husky Shephard. I've spent time observing dogs personalities, behaviors and how dogs communicate with eachother and with humans. So grateful I had such successful experiences with so many different breeds, from puppies to seniors. Through my adult life, dog parents have expressed their gratitude for my care and help with their fur babies, saying that I have a dog whisper way that not many people have. I even helped a lady who would get dragged to the ground by her deaf very high energy Dalmatian Springer Spanial mix. While caring for your baby(s) in your home, we discuss and I listen to the needs as to the specific instructions needed for your fur baby(s). Your scheduled time for feeding, for medication, & potty needs and ect... All dogs are not the same and I understand that each have their own needs and their own likes and dislikes. I can assure you with confidence that I am mindful of safety at home and on our neighborhood walks.
“i was very pleased with Brandy's ability/skills in caring for my cat and keeping me informed of how things were going during my absence the space was clean when i returned and my fuzzy boy was very content”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m naturally attentive to animal body language and behavior, so I’m able to notice subtle changes in comfort, mood, energy, and boundaries. I currently live and work on a farm where I care for sheep, goats, chickens, and ducks, including providing hands-on care when animals need medical attention. This experience has taught me to stay calm, observant, and responsive, especially when an animal is stressed, uncomfortable, or behaving outside their normal routine. I understand that every animal has their own personality, relationships, and rhythm, and I follow your instructions and your pet’s established routines closely while meeting them where they’re at. I’m active, attentive, communicative, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s animals and home seriously. You can expect reliable communication, thoughtful care, and someone who pays attention to the little things. 🐾 My schedule is very flexible. I’m available most days—mornings, afternoons, and evenings—and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and your schedule. I’m reliable, communicative, and attentive to the details that matter to you and your pet. I follow your instructions closely, stay attentive to your pet’s needs and surroundings, and keep their environment calm, clean, and secure. My priority is helping your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“This was the first time I had used a sitter for my cat Princess outside of close friends/family. My cat is pretty anxious around new people but seemed very comfortable with Julia for her drop-in visits! I appreciated the pictures she took of Princess while I was away.”

About: I have a high drive working German Shepherds, and husky. I have always been full of energy and taking care of crackhead dogs give me a lot of patience, so puppies and active dogs are my favorite and specialty! And I've been bitten and scratched enough times, it almost tickles... Almost During hot months my dogs are given all attention in the evening/at night and during cold months my dogs are given all attention in the afternoon so there is a period of time where I can help take care of yours outside of pet care and work! I will make sure to follow strict instructions and be very attentive and watchful of your pup! My own dogs schedule consist of playing, walking, training, cuddling, feeding and potty every 4-6 hours! And I would love to treat your pet with the same amount of needs whenever you feel you can't! No dog left behind!
“LOVE having Mia take care of my pets when we leave town. She’s trustworthy, reliable and sends great photos. Great to know my fur babies are being taken care off. She will continue to use Mia, if she will have us🥰”

About: CPR and first aid certified. Owner of a Siberian husky for over a decade. Have trained her since she was a puppy. She is now a senior and requires minimal walks compared to when she was young. She gets along with cats really well and is around farm animals frequently. Working 40 hours a week while managing pet care is essential, I am able to work around my schedule as fit for the animal's needs. Please inform me if any needs are requested to make sure everything, like fresh water, is taken care of. I offer care at the clients home, which I have experience in. I am usually in the same room as my pets, so I will often be in the same area with your pet while they are under supervision. Please inform me at least a day in advance for booking.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 577 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Elmira. 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.

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.
