“Kristen was a delight from the start. She is so sweet and kind. She took care of my cat for a weekend, not only feeding him, but she also administered medication, cleaned the litter box and spent some time with him. I would totally recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a cat sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her next time I will be out of town 😁”
“Paulina was amazing! She was able to accommodate for a last minute request and she did such a great job! I would recommend her 100%, definitely going to be booking again!”
About: Hey there! I am new to sitting, but always willing to learn and gain experience :) Happy to take on any type of dog or cat (I have both). My cat is an escape artist, and my dog is insane. I can handle it all. I am free all summer for pet care! There is a short stretch of time in August where i will be away, but other than that, I am excited to meet new pet friends :) I am well versed in crating dogs, as well as keeping an eye on mischievous animals. I will follow any instructions given very carefully and ensure your pet is happy and healthy while you are away.
“We are super thankful to Alec! He was very careful with our dog, we’re sure they both had such a great time together. I’ll trust my dog to him whenever! This is the first time we left our puppy and we have no complaints! Super communicative!”
About: Hi! I’m Hallie. I am a lifelong dog lover who understands how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I grew up around dogs and currently have two of my own who are basically my whole world. Because I’m a dog parent myself, I know how much care, patience, and attention each dog deserves. I’m very active and love long walks, beach walks, and getting outside, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and attention. I’m comfortable with different personalities and energy levels, including dogs who may be a little shy, reactive, or still learning the ropes. One of my own dogs is a rescue, so I’m very patient and experienced with dogs who need a little extra reassurance and confidence building on walks. Safety and communication are really important to me, so I always make sure dogs feel secure, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to send updates, photos, and videos so you can feel at ease knowing your pup is having a great time. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, some company during the day, or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine because I have two dogs of my own. My days revolve around walks, exercise, and making sure they’re happy and well cared for, so adding additional walks or drop-in visits fits very naturally into my schedule. I’m active, reliable, and love spending time outside with dogs of all energy levels. I care for every pet like they’re my own. I follow their normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive, patient, and always prioritize safety, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is in good hands.
About: Hi, I’m Mindy — I run MindySits 🐾 I treat every pet like my own, simple as that. I’m patient, reliable, and pay attention to what each dog actually needs. Beyond pet sitting, I’m deeply involved in the rescue community and serve as a Foster Manager with BARRK Rescue, where I help oversee placements, guide fosters, and support dogs coming from difficult or uncertain backgrounds. This experience has given me a strong understanding of behavior, decompression, and how to meet each dog exactly where they are. Whether it’s walks or overnight care, I keep things calm, consistent, and make sure your pet is comfortable and well cared for. I’ll also keep you updated so you’re never wondering how things are going. Dependable care and a happy dog that’s always the goal 💛🐶 Hi! I work a hybrid schedule, home 2 days a week. My husband is home so your pup will rarely be alone. I have always been happiest with a dog close by. I live with my husband, daughter, and our dog Willie 🐾 We’re a calm, dog-loving home and I just really enjoy having animals around. I also help care for a senior dog, so I’m patient, gentle, and pay attention to what each dog needs. I’m easygoing but attentive, and I make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable while they’re with me
“Words cannot express how happy we were with the services provided by Seamus. His updates and photos put us at ease that our two cats were being well taken care of. Seamus was attentive and spent quality time with Skittles and Tomasina. When he was concerned about something ( a hairball) Seamus promptly and calmly contacted us. He treated our cats as if they were his own. We will be booking and the cats will be looking forward to their visit from Seamus in the near future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 9,501 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Gilgo Beach. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gilgo Beach. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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 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.
