“Katie was amazing! So thorough in her notes for all the animals and sent plenty of pictures— I was happy to know they were in good hands. I was also so grateful for her flexibility in taking a booking last-minute!”
“Kim always goes above and beyond to accommodate my pets needs and to make sure they are happy and well cared for. She's very dependable and trustworthy. I have been using her services for a few years now and have never had a problem.”
“I'm away for a long time this trip in Asia. With the time difference, comes my anxiety for Soju's wellbeing. David has been so kind and helpful, with all the cute pics and daily Rover cards that made me comfortable and reassured. I will not hesitate to book him again in a heartbeat.”
“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.”
“Alana is the absolute best! She takes amazing care of our fish, chickens, and cat Tiger while we are out of town. We love the pictures and updates she always sends and know that she loves our animals just as much as we do. Thanks for everything! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I’ve had a dog in the house since I was eight years old. Growing up with a pitbull as my childhood dog. Two pitbulls in the house after our first one passed. I take them on walks. Have been to training sessions with them. Confident taking care of dogs and just adopted my own in January. I am currently a D1 student athlete. My classes this semester are pretty light. I have no classes M, W, or F so am most free those 3 days. I would love to fit pet care daily into times that work. Some things I've done for my dogs: I have a fenced in backyard, throw toys around the yard for them. Both of my dogs have harnesses and prong collars for walks. They are fed twice a day. Their paws are washed off when its muddy outside.
“Elizabeth was so good with my dog! She was very communicative and helpful with my dogs behavioral challenges. I couldn't ask for someone more suitable for him and I'd be happy to hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“HUGE thank you to MacKenzie for doing this one-off semi last-minute visit with my pups and her continued patience with my one dog who is a little more nervous and difficult. She is a blessing and I will always be grateful for her love and care she gives my pups while I am away.”
About: I love hiking and snuggling with my fur babies and hope to share the love with your fur family. I’ve fostered pups of all ages with different behavioral styles and volunteered for a handful of shelters and rescues. I do pop ins for a few locals in town and of course for my family. For me, there’s nothing more therapeutic than a fur baby and nature. I’d like to think I repay them for their endless love by easing their nerves while you’re away. I'm currently a dog Mawma to my 95 lb lap dog, Leana and a 25 lb pot cake, Millie. Leana is reactive on leash and takes strength on walks. And quite opposite of Leana, Millie is trained to walk off leash. My previous pup was a 100 lb pure bred Swissy (also a lap dog) who I lost to cancer. I was laid off from my up-tight corporate job and I'm looking to go back to what I know and love, animals. I own my house in Mt. Morris, NY (with a fenced yard!) and I spend a lot of time in Seabreeze/E. Irondequoit, NY, so my range in location is pretty wide. I'm currently available to stay in your home while you're on vacation, tend to your pets for an evening out, or make sure your pet gets the potty breaks and walks needed during a long work day. At my house in Mt. Morris, I have a fenced yard with 2 dogs and a cat, and my housemate. All are people and dog friendly. At your home, I'd abide by your requests.
“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!”
“I originally Booked for a drop in visit for christmas Eve. because of the Blizzard my plans changed to the next weekend. deborah was very accomodating to my change. Did a wonderful job with my boys. Will definitely use her again. I recommend her.”

About: I've had several dogs in my life, smaller and larger dogs. I had a cocker spaniel mix when I was a kid, a collie when my kids were young, and most recently a German shepherd. Each had their own personality and I have special memories of each one of them. I have taken care of older dogs and younger dogs. I can handle the energy of younger dogs and the needs of older ones. We have always seen our pets as members of the family and I hope you will allow me to see your dog in the same way. I have friends that I have stayed at their house for a couple of weeks to spend time with their dog while they were on vacation. We went for walks twice a day and had a lot of time playing together. I work remotely in my job so I am happy to work from wherever is needed to take care of your pet. My schedule is flexible and I will work hard to accommodate the schedule of you pet. If you just need someone to come to walk your dog or just spend time with your cat, I have the flexibility in my day to do that. My first goal is to make your dog or cat comfortable with my visit. If I'm staying in your home, I will follow the routine you have set to do just that.
“I don't know that 5 stars is enough for Sarah. She was amazing with the boys, asked amazing questions when she came to visit and was very responsive during her visits! I already have her on the books for October! Highly recommend!!! Thank you Sarah!”
“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!”
“Kyle has been amazing! He is extremely knowledgeable and caring, and always goes the extra mile on walks. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for someone to hang with their pup throughout the day.”
About: I have always had pets my whole life, a whole variety of them too! I have experience working with much larger animals including horses as well, which happen to be my favorite! I have cared for a handful of neighbors pets including walking them, feeding, taking out, and playing too. I am working part-time currently so I will have plenty of time to play with and care for your feline or fido! Walks are always a plus as I get my exercise too! I am always one to put the animal first. If your baby is a little more skiddish, I'll give them plenty of time to warm up! If they want to play an extra few minutes, I'm more than happy to throw their toy for them. If they would rather relax and cuddle, I will be more than happy! Whatever they want always comes first.
About: I grew up with dogs, and owned my own for 7 years. I have house sat for multiple families and prefer to stay at the home since I have found it to be less stressful for the pets. I have experience with dogs, cats, rats, Guinea pigs, horses, and even reptiles! I also have experience with animals that need medication such as anxiety meds and insulin. I am currently in esthetics school and working park time. Depending on when booking my schedule may be different. If your pet is special needs, I will adjust my schedule to fit those needs when given advanced notice. If the yard is fenced I will use that or a leash if that is provided. I can also take your dogs on a walks! When letting dogs out, I prefer to keep an eye on them so I will usually sit outside while they do their business.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 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.
