“This was my first time leaving my boys for a vacation and Amy was great with communication and calming my nerves. She went above and beyond and did a few extra tasks I didn't even ask of her. I will definitely be recommending her services to friends and family, and I'd be more than happy to leave my boys in her care for future vacations!”
“Felicity is a wonderful caretaker for our two cats. She is very kind and caring. We are very lucky to have found her! I would highly recommend her cat sitting services. Don’t hesitate to book her!”
“Fantastic drop-in visits! friendly and took great care of my shy cat. It’s rare for my cat to warm up to someone so quickly, which speaks volumes about their care. Will absolutely book again!"”
About: I have taken care of 3 dogs since the age of 11 as my family pets. Since moving out on my own, I have an Australian shepherd and an orange kitten that have become my world! I have dog sat/cat sat for friends and family, walked, fed, played, and loved them as if they were my own! I currently work full time night shift in Albany, NY Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights. I am free all day Wednesday through Saturday but, am willing to work out certain hours Sunday-Tuesday if needed! I love to walk dogs! On the road, I am always cautious of cars, people, and even other dogs. If your pet prefers to stay close to home, playing outside is what we will do. I am always putting the pet's needs and comfort before anything else!
“Abigail was so helpful on my trip out of state! She provided detailed reports and arrived exactly when we agreed upon. I liked that multiple pictures were provided with each check in which showed that she stayed for awhile and was interactive with my kitty. She was very responsive and easy to set up a first meeting with. Definitely my go-to for cat sitters in Albany!”
“Merissa and Nick are the best pet sitters I have ever had, because they care and go above and beyond!! Besides the very helpful daily updates on my cat’s food, drink, litter box usage and general behavior, they sent me some of the greatest photos and videos of Hodge, many showing them playing with my very social fur baby. When I returned home after a 10-day trip, the house was immaculate and my mail and newspapers were neatly piled up on the kitchen counter. I knew that with Merissa and Nick my cat was getting the best care possible and was very happy, which gave me complete peace of mind to enjoy my vacation.”
About: 🐾 Hi! I’m proud to be a certified crazy dog & cat lady - I have two dogs & four cats and I've taken care of dogs & cats of every kind over the past 18 years. Ever seen some crazy girl wearing a hoodie with her cat's face all over it? Yeah, that's me. Ever been so obsessed with your pets that you contemplated tattooing yourself with their paw print? Yep, I did it. Ya know the weird girl that jumps up and down everytime she sees a dog and asks to pet them? You guessed it, that's me. There's only one thing I"m truly passionate about and it's animals! I love dogs of all sizes & have experience with all different temperments & personalities over the years as well - from the laziest of the lazy who want nothing more than to nap 85% of the day to the highest strung herders who need a job all day long, I've had them all! I have a lot of experience with special needs & senior animals as well - our mini dachshund is fully deaf & visually impaired so her disabilities are a part of our everyday life! 🐾 My schedule is pretty open & flexible - whether you need mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends or weekdays, I’m just happy for the chance to take care of your babies while you’re gone! 🐾 You know what’s best when it comes to your babies care so whatever your preferences, requests, rules, and asks of me are is exactly what I am going to deliver! I'm here to give you the peace of mind that comes from knowing they are being cared for exactly like you would & loved like they're my own in your absence! 🐾 House Sitting - please note that my standard rate covers a minimum of 12 hours of overnight care & one drop in during the day, meaning your babies will be alone for up to 8 hours at one time; however, I typically will leave them alone no longer than 4-6 hours at a time (8 is the max and the exception, not the rule, unless you instruct me otherwise on them being ok alone that long daily). While I still welcome the opportunity to watch dogs that cannot be alone for more than 4 hours, they are considered “constant care” and my rates will be adjusted accordingly. Please don’t hesitate to reach out; I’m happy to make a plan that works for your pup’s needs! 🐾 House Sitting - I kindly request that all indoor cameras be disclosed during the meet & greet and turned off while I’m in the home for any areas OTHER than designated pet areas (ex. if your cats have a bedroom or you have a camera facing your dogs favorite hang out spot during the day - I’m completely fine with you leaving those on as I have the same in my home and love watching my babies while I’m out).
About: My whole life I have been surrounded by animals, from dogs, cats, to horses you name it.

I am trustworthy, responsible and would care for your pet with the utmost attention. Neighbors, family and friends have relied on me to look over their animals. I am currently a full time college student so my schedule is a bit inconsistent, but I do respond ASAP and very willing to work out what works best for your pets. I can be trusted to care for your pet in your home. I have extensive experience with people working with their pets within their homes. My responsibilities included walking, feeding, cleaning up after, playing and interaction with pets, bathing/ brushing, organizing play space and putting toys away, purchasing food.

We can go for great walks around the SUNY Albany campus. I currently have 2 cats that are very kind and curious.
“I’ve never left my kitties behind when I travel and was quite worried about it. I’m VERY pleased with the job Jack did. Although my cats are super shy and wouldn’t be social and play, Jack sent a daily pick to reassure me they were fine. I’ll definitely rebook with Jack should I need to travel again.”
“My cats tend to ignore me for a day or two after a trip because they’re frustrated that I left in the first place. But I came home this time to two happy, cuddly cats and I know that’s because Jillian took great care of them. She was also super responsive and kind during our communication about the visits as well. We will definitely book with her again!”

This was my first time leaving my boys for a vacation and Amy was great with communication and calming my nerves. She went above and beyond and did a few extra tasks I didn't even ask of her. I will definitely be recommending her services to friends and family, and I'd be more than happy to leave my boys in her care for future vacations!
This was our second occasion booking Debbie and consisted of 25 visits spanning 9 days. You are an absolute treasure Debbie and our two pups and kitty were so well cared for during our absence. Thank you very much for all of the detailed updates and wonderful pictures - our family thoroughly enjoyed each one! We look forward to working with you again real soon!
Stacie was the perfect balance of professional and compassionate! She excitedly accepted the challenge of caring for my big hissy cat, taking time to understand how he communicates. Where other sitters may have been afraid or mad, Stacie was purposeful and determined. During my 3-week absence, I felt confident my boy was given as much love and attention that Stacie could give. She went above and beyond by watering my plants and collecting mail, but also by telling me when some issues occurred and sending tons of pictures. I'd book her again in a second, even if just to give my cat some extra social time. <3

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
