About: I’ve had a dog my entire life, so caring for dogs comes naturally to me. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, though I’ve primarily grown up with small and medium breeds. I can handle daily routines, walks, playtime, and different personalities with patience and care. I’m open to caring for larger dogs as long as they are well-behaved and non-aggressive :). Clear communication about your dog’s temperament helps ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone. I treat every dog with love, respect Baths are available upon request for $15.

“Kathryn has done an amazing job with Gus in the couple weeks she’s been coming to let him out! He’s so much happier when I get home from work now after a long day! Thank you!!”
“We’ve had Mia take care of our cat Oliver twice now for weeklong trips. She is wonderful! Very communicative, timely, and so good with him. You can tell she loves what she does & cares so deeply for the animals she’s in charge of. Thank you Mia!”
“Gigi was super responsive and communicative. My boy is so skittish and warmed right up to her. She provided so many pictures and it eased my anxiety from being away from him. Definitely recommend her. She is on time, reliable, and trustworthy.”
“Wonderful! Kayligh was friendly and professional. We booked her for 2x/day drop ins, for feeding and insulin for my 14 year old cat. He’s very personable and after losing his companion cat last year seems to be lonely when we left. My last sitter would medicate and leave, but Kayligh stayed and played and visited with him. She was perfectly on time and very friendly with us and him. Would book again, and I definitely recommend her.”
“Just had another fantastic experience with Gigi as my dog sitter! She continues to impress with her genuine care and attention to detail. My dog absolutely adores her, and I always feel confident leaving him in her capable hands. Highly recommend Gigi for anyone needing a reliable and loving pet sitter!”
About: Hi! My name is Cullen. I'm originally from Vermont, but I'll be spending the summer in Rochester while attending college. I have plenty of experience caring for dogs, including my own 11 year old Goldendoodle as well as sitting for friends and neighbors pets. I've cared for multiple rescue dogs at the same time for extended periods of time, and have experience working with senior and anxious dogs, so I'm comfortable handling a variety of personalities and care needs. I offer overnight stays, drop ins, and walks, and I am capable of administering medications when needed. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! I'm currently working part time in the early mornings, so my days are very flexbile. Feel free to reach out with a any questions on availability! When caring for someone elses pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routin. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, excercise needs, medication requirements, and any other household norms. For walks and outdoor time, I always use appropriate leashes or harnesses and make sure to remain attentive of your pets behaviors and surroundings. I have experience caring for senior, rescue, and anxious dogs, so I understand the importance of minimizing the stress of both you and your pets by providing reliable care while you are away.
About: I cared for my own dog for 5 years, including as he aged into his senior years. I also watch my parents' dog whenever they go out of town. I do not have puppy training experience, but I have some with adult dogs. I work a full-time job, so any care provided will have to fit around my schedule. I am usually out of work by 2:30 and need to care for my own pets at home, but I will make all the time needed to provide proper care for yours! I live in a friendly neighborhood, and my cats are very open to meeting new animals. There are a lot of areas around my neighborhood to go for walks and some nice dogs that live around.
“Karibian was a lifesaver for our family! We had somewhat limited notice to needing our girls cared for and she stepped in and helped us. The girls were so happy to see her each visit, even though they had never met. All the photos of smiles and snuggles made this mommas heart happy. I highly recommend her service and will definitely rebook with her again!”
“Madeline was awesome! She was communicative, sent wonderful photos, and did a great job! We were able to rest easy knowing our cat was in great hands while we’re away! Thanks, Madeline!”
“Vicki was great with my two dogs! Communication was continuous, which allowed me to have peace of mind, while I was away. I will definitely be utilizing Vicki’s services in the future and I would highly recommend this sitter.”
About: I have had pets since I was a kid. I had dogs, cats, birds, fish, lizards, Guinea pigs. I currently have a husky now. I have a big heart for animals. I will help take care of any dog/cat. I am available after 3pm weekdays due to work and all day on weekends. If I can’t come for whatever reason, such my son being sick or an appointment, my boyfriend is able too. My dog is crate trained and he goes on walks daily. I will be able to take your dog out on walks and let them run in the backyard, if you have a fenced in yard. I will feed them and play with them and keep them stimulated.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 470 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Garbutt. 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.

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.
