Caterina was an absolute lifesaver! She was able to accommodate a last-minute drop-in visit for my puppy, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her quick response and willingness to travel outside her normal radius to care for him. It meant so much to me to know he was in such good hands. I’m incredibly thankful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate care. ❤️

About: Animal rescue is my true passion in life. I grew up rescuing and caring for animals with my mom, and as an adult, I’ve continued to adopt pets in need from my local shelter. I enjoy building trust with animals and watching them feel safe and comfortable with me. I’m experienced in administering medication, understanding animal body language, and creating a calming environment so your pet can relax. I know how hard it can be to leave your animal with someone else, especially when they require special care. I promise to treat your animals as if they were my own. I am reliable, compassionate and a proficient communicator. My goal is to give you the peace of mind of knowing your pets are loved and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home which allows me greater flexibility to be available for your animals. For dog walking and drop in visits, I'm typically available after 3PM on weekdays, or all day on weekends. For house sitting, I can work at your home during my stay to provide full time care. I prefer to care for your pets in their own home, as my rescue cat does not get along with other animals. I'm happy to take on any and all responsibilities for your pets, whether it's in your home or during walks. Your pet's health and safety is my top priority.

Kirsten was amazing! She took great care of my three cats while I was gone for 3.5 weeks. She made sure to send me photos and videos every day, and it was clear in those videos how much the cats adored her! I would absolutely re-hire her to take care of my cats in the future.

Sarah did a GREAT job caring for our "pack" as the feeding & medication of 3 geriatric dogs can get complicated. She demonstrated an understanding of "critter" care with compassion and is a very conscientious individual. We hope she will be available the next time we go away.

About: I have pet care experience that dates back to my early teenage-hood. In addition, my family has had large dogs that I help to care for since I was very young. Currently I own a 5-year old cat and it has been such a joy to finally know the pleasure or living and loving with a cat! As my experience shows, I truly love animals of all kinds and I know how to best understand what each pet needs and how to accommodate to varying needs. I look forward to helping out with your furry friend😊 I am currently a part-time herbal medicine student living in Ithaca, NY. Because of my status, I have lots of availability to watch your furry friend! I like to enter a relationship with a new pet by first meeting them while their owner is around. I find this fosters a sense of safety and trust off the bat. I understand that sometimes it takes a lot of time and patience for a pet to feel comfortable with you and I try to never overstep their comfort level until they feel ready to engage.

Jenna was an astounding pet sitter for Roxy. She went way above and beyond and really was determined to make friends with Roxy, who is a very persnickety cat and only loves me. I would recommend Jenna to anyone! If there was an option for 30 stars, I would give her a 31 star review.

Dawn recently watched my cat Gus over the holiday. Knowing my cat had some separation anxiety, she kindly came over for a meet and greet before I left town to make sure he was comfortable with her. She was very patient with him while he got to know her. She was always responsive to my messages and took good care of my cat. I’d definitely reach out to her again next time I’m going out of town!

We're repeat customers of Glenna, who once again went above and beyond in caring for our two cats. She demonstrated extraordinary initiative and consideration in making sure their needs were met, they were kept safe, and our home was a welcoming place for both them and us when we returned from our trip. Massively recommend Glenna, she is a superstar.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Freeville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Freeville on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 367 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Freeville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Freeville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

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

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
