About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. Starting with dogs, cats, pigs, cows, goats and fish. Caring for a pet builds patience, empathy, and unconditional love. In addition to caring for my personal pets I also help take care of dogs with our neighbors before and at work with one dog and two cats. I’m currently working part time after school hours Monday to Thursday so basically free during the day and can work all day Friday plus weekend if needed but it really depends on the time or day you need I will accommodate. I have a small backyard and extra room which we normally call sunroom for now with one of my dogs that can accompany your dog. I can easily crate your dog as well if needed. I have one in my house that my dog stopped using for a while.

About: I've been called a cat whisperer many times in my life. I've live with and took care of all ages of cats, from kittens to senior cats. I am able to adjust my speed to their personalities. I specifically enjoy getting to love on each individual cat for them. I am a freelancer and want to do what I love. I love meeting cats and being around them. It improves my mood whenever I am around cats. I have two 6 year old brother cats, which I rescued in the summer of 2020. Playing with them and hugging on them is worth any care taking that is needed.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 10 years and have experience with all kinds of pets, from large dogs like German Shepherds to small terriers, cats, kittens, and even fish. I’ve cared for energetic, shy, and senior pets, including those with specific diets or unique needs. I’m very adaptable, patient, and genuinely love animals, so I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m a college student, so my schedule is pretty consistent during the week. My busiest days are Tuesdays (8 AM–4 PM) and Wednesdays (10 AM–4 PM). On Mondays and Fridays, I’m only away from 10 AM–2 PM, and Thursdays I’m gone just from 11 AM–12 PM. Outside of classes, I’m very flexible and able to give pets plenty of attention, walks, and care. I also work part-time at a country club, but it’s currently the off-season, so my schedule is mostly focused on school. In my home, pets are treated like family. I have two friendly pets of my own, so I’m very used to maintaining a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and stick to their usual routines. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions and make it a priority to understand each pet’s specific needs, habits, and personality. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, litter box or potty routines, and any special care instructions. If I’m ever unsure about something, I always ask to make sure I’m doing exactly what’s best for your pet. I’m very patient, reliable, and detail-oriented, and I truly care about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, I have owned and cared for multiple breeds of dogs and cats, big and small, and been a pet sitter for friends and family on and off for the last 10 years. As a result of my experience as a pet parent and sitter I am very comfortable with most breeds. I also have limited experience training full grown dogs as well as puppies. I am available for walks, check-ins, or pet sitting every day. I am also available for boarding on a case by case basis. My work schedule allows me to be present for most of the day, so I can remain attentive and take plenty of walk and play breaks. During the times that I am gone I am able to crate them if that is your preference or they can have free access to the main part of the house and I will check in on them regularly through the doggie cams. I am able to dog sit in your home as well as in my own home, which has a large amount of indoor space that they can roam around in, as well as a partially fenced back yard that they can play in on a long leash with my supervision. I have plenty of time for walks and play breaks during the day. And during the few hours a day that I am out of the house, they can be crated, or they can roam around the main part of the house. I check in on them every half hour through the doggy cams set up in the house. I am comfortable walking, feeding, and if necessary, providing medication on the schedule and in the manner that you prefer.

About: I’ve cared for animals most of my life, including regularly volunteering at local shelters and caring for two dogs and three cats of my own. I absolutely love spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I’m an active person and would be happy to take your dog on long, fun, and enriching walks, but I also love relaxing with pets, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’ve cared for up to three dogs at once and am comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m also happy to accommodate special needs, including medications, special diets, and specific care instructions. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and give them the same patience, care, and love I’d want for my own pets! I am currently a part-time employee. My schedule is relatively stable but subject to change. I am unavailable at the following times due to my work schedule: Thursday and Friday 7:30am-3:00pm, and Saturday 6:30am-3:00pm I only do care at client’s homes because of my two cats at home who generally do not like other animals. I am ready to utilize client’s backyards, nearby trails, and anything else owners implement into their pet’s daily routine!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and know firsthand how important consistent, detailed care can be. My own dog has GI issues and requires a very specific diet, medication, and feeding routine, so I’m very comfortable following special instructions and keeping a close eye on changes in appetite, behavior, and routine. As a registered nurse, I’m dependable, observant, and used to being detail-oriented. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, medications, playtime, litter box care, and plenty of updates and photos while you’re away. I work a set nursing schedule and have availability on select weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and can be flexible with drop-ins, walks, feeding times, and medication schedules when planned in advance. I take pet care seriously and always follow the owner’s instructions closely. I pay attention to feeding, medications, bathroom habits, behavior, and anything that seems out of the ordinary. I’m careful with doors, leashes, gates, and each pet’s individual routine, and I’ll send updates and photos so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 12 years old and moved in with my dad. He had two red nose pitbulls who I loved and adored. I would play for hours and pet for hours. I would be the one responsible for their walking, feeding, and hygiene (baths, nail cutting, ear cleaning) and I genuinely enjoyed it. My grandparents had a Pomeranian for some years prior, and I would every weekend ask to go and see the dog. I loved him and he loved me, he would jump so high every time I walked through the door! I taught him how to do “paw”, roll over, and many more tricks. When I reached a driving age, my grandparents asked me if I would care for him while they were out of town, which was often. I would either stop in 4x a day for potty breaks and food checks or pick him up and bring him for a car ride and long walks(weather permitting) with a nice treat after. I currently work full time, and am available to care for your pet(s) Fridays after 6pm-Sunday night, perfect for pet parents who planned a weekend getaway! I will treat your pet as if they were my own. I talk to them, I give them endless lovin’. I am very observant and take note of what they do/do not like, to avoid upsetting them. Even things like if they were needing to be brushed, have their eyes/ears wiped, I will do it without issue because I would do the same if it were my pet.

About: If you’re looking for someone to just drop a bowl of kibble and scroll on their phone, I’m probably not your person. But if you want someone who will treat your pet like a misunderstood genius or a retired diplomat, we’re going to get along great! I work for the MTA as a train operator in the city, but on my days off I love taking my corgi Zuko on long walks and playing in our yard. I've had dogs and cats since I was young, and have a special affinity for all animals. If you want your fur baby treated like the king or queen they know they are while you're away, look no further! I am currently off Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays so I will have the full 24 hours of those days to walk, play, entertain, and care for your pets. I have a large unfenced yard on a very quiet street off the main road. I also have a extremely friendly and energetic corgi named Zuko who will assuredly be your pets new best friend. There will be tons of playing, running, fetch and more to ensure your pet has the best experience staying at their home away from home.

About: Hello I am Julieanna. I have been working with dogs for the past 8 years and I have been a dog trainer/sitter for the past few years and now I’ve worked at a veterinary hospital for the past 2 years. I know how hard it can be to balance taking care of your pet(s) and work/life. I have a dog and a cat myself and I would want someone I can trust taking care of them. I hope to be the person you ask for help. I’m currently working full time so my schedule isn’t completely free but I am fairly flexible with my schedule. I am off on Fridays and have some availability on Saturdays depending on my work schedule. I will ask the client if there are any rules in their homes for their pet. I will listen to directions and make sure the pet is safe and happy.

About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting all my life. I also fostered a mid-size mixed terrier. I have two cats of my own. I love how all animals have amazing personalities! I can do dog walking, cat check ins with waste clean-up or over nights which ever you may need. I know how to administer meds to both cats and dogs. It is so important to have your furry loved ones pampered while you are away! I am retired so my availability is flexible. I also enjoy sending photos of your four legged loved one while you are away! I have also watched chickens, turtles, guinea pigs, snakes and iguanas. Looking forward to hearing from you! I am retired so I have a flexible schedule! I can go during the day or stay overnight at your home. Whichever you feel most comfortable with would work! When I come to your house, besides walking/feeding, I do waste cleanup as well. Of course, playing is a must! I will definitely send photos and videos so you know how your furry family member is feeling!

About: I grew up having dogs, cats, chickens, a turtle and a mouse and always wished to have more! And then started pet sitting for other people’s furry babies. I have experience with the most active and excited, as well as shy and quiet souls. I’ve learned how to take care of puppies and senior dogs. I’ve taken some classes for my mom’s dog to train him which gave me even more of an understanding of their behavior. But most of all, I truly love each pet I meet! I work as a nanny 9am-4pm on Monday& Tuesday. I do volunteer work a few hours throughout the week. please let me know your pet’s needs in advance! I mostly care for pets at your home. Let me know what your expectations are so I can carefully consider if I'm a good match for your pet!

Samantha was absolutely wonderful at caring for my precious Ellie. She was punctual, responsible, and very attentive. This was my first time having someone other than family take care of Ellie, and I was a bit nervous. However, based on my experience with Samantha, all my concerns were alleviated. I would certainly recommend her without hesitation.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Fishkill

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Fishkill is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 308 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fishkill. 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fishkill. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
