“Lisa is absolutely AMAZING! She is so responsible, loving and caring. We have a lot of little critters and she took care of each one as if they were her very own pets. We felt at ease and able to really enjoy our vacation knowing our babies were in such great hands. She was always in communication with pics & updates. Highly recommend Lisa. We will definitely have Lisa take care of our babies each time we go away!!”

About: Are you worried about leaving your fur baby as you have to tend to other plans? Be assured your prized pet will be in good hands. I have a big dog and had a toy poodle and currently have 2 cats myself. I know how these special creatures need love attention and patience. Have peace of mind that your fur baby is well cared by me for the time being. Animals love me and I love them. I promise that your cat or dog will be showered with love and attention when they’re in my care. I will make sure they get plenty of exercise if needed as well as ensure they are on their feeding schedules. Walks are my specialty and I love to get the dogs out for some fresh air and mental stimulation. It makes for better restful naps while they wait for your return home. My schedule is flexible and I am ready to put your fur baby on my calendar. Please contact me to check times and dates. I would love to work with you and your pet. I will care for your pet or pets in your home as directed by your goals and parameters. We will need your animals favorite food and treats as needed. Also a fenced in safe area to monitor. Important phone numbers will need to be written down as well as instructions on how to best care for your pet.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs most of my life and love working with all kinds of animals. I have experience working with my aunt at her dog kennel. I’ve handled breeds of various sizes with different personalities including Rottweilers and Pibull mixes.I’m always prepared for the unexpected and willing to care for and treat your pets as if they were my own! I also have experience in administering medication if necessary and will always honor special request requests for your canine companion. I am currently only dedicating my time to dog walking during and sitting at this time. I’m extremely flexible and available during weekdays to accommodate you and your beloved pets. I have a sweet cat who I’ve been caring for since October who came to us as a stray. I also care for two lovable guinea pigs, who I took in as rescues and I provide them with the best care and life possible! My experience with dogs has always been ensuring long walks and plenty of play time. Your pets will be loved and adored as if they were my own and special needs animals are welcome! I have cared for my own cats with hypothyroidism and diabetes. My experience with administering medication is currently only with pills and liquid medicines typically incorporated into food or treats.

“My husband and I met Amya when we were at a routine vet visit with our beautiful cat Hailey. We were instantly amazed at how well Hailey responded to her. Hailey typically feels threatened by people she doesn’t know, yet was calmed by Amya’s presence. We knew that we wanted to hire her to help us administer oral medication‘s to our furbaby. She gave us a link to her Rover account and we hired her that very night.. Amya is a beautiful human being and we’re blessed to have met her.”

About: **My FT job is a revolving schedule meaning I do not always work the same exact shift daily and may not have the same exact days off weekly.** NYC AREA ONLY! I must be able to reach your address via transit. Due to transit times, I may not be able to take a last-minute request. **Dogs I have 17 years of experience, cats I grew up with and rabbits I have 7 years with** I had the pleasure of owning a big beautiful rottweiler greater swiss mountain dog boy for many years until I lost him to cancer. I also grew up with cats! Check out my kitty profile to see my best friend, an orange tabby boy. He made it all the way to high school putting up with me before it was his time to go. Losing him was as hard as losing my college best friend, my rottie mix. . Outside of that, I professionally raised, trained, and showed rabbits for a decade and had a professional show horse while I was in college. With the passing of my big rottie boy, I couldnt bring myself to have a new dog and my schedule is too busy to own another these days so instead I offer my services to help other busy pet owners. I have worked with pit bulls, huskies, stubborn shepherds, all kinds of dogs from volunteering at shelters to taking care of friends dogs while they were out of town to just helping neighbors get in potty breaks and walks for elderly pet owners who cant always go for long walks. . I am in my later 30s and have experience in the hospitality industry, corporate security industry, airline industry, and medical field (ex FF/Medic). Your pet is like one of your kids- their safety and security matters as much as someone who understands animal body language. Your dog and I can work on basic things like leash manners while on our walk (its all included if they need it). . **Schedule notes cont: I am only given a short amount of schedules in advance so I have no way to book beyond my current assigned FT job schedule. Regretfully, I am not able to pre-book pet clients then tell the FT job I cant work those days. They will not honor that request as the contract with them strictly says they are the first priority- meaning I HAVE to wait until they release any upcoming weekly schedules. This is beyond my control and I applogize for the inconvience it causes. I do state that I only do pet services in my FREE TIME which means whenever Im not commuting to work or have to be at work. Please take this into consideration when booking! I am ONLY available to take dogs out for walks in my FREE TIME. Must book at least 24 hours in advance. I will update my availability based on my primary job schedule, any time I am out of town, or unavailable due to personal life appointments. NOTE: My day job is a revolving schedule. I am not always available the same time daily or weekly. You MUST discuss this with me as I only recieve so many company schedules in advance. IM AWARE THIS IS NOT CONVIENIENT, but my hands are tied. This is how the company operates. I do NOT offer in my home sitting (my landlord does not allow pets in this facility/only service animals). I am a will check on your pet house call and on the go dog walker only. If your dog does not have a harness, I will NOT be walking your dof for their OWN safety. Dogs can easily slip out of leashes. It also helps them with leash manners and allows me better control of them if I needed to move them quickly from a situation. I prefer to walk dogs away from busy roads/busy intersections and will take advantage of any nature trails nearby. Dog parks can be stressful on dogs, so unless your dog has playmates that it regularly sees at a specific dog park, I will not take your dog to an unfamiliar area and let them run free with other dogs where they could become involved in a fight. Generally, I walk them around their local neighborhood or on a nature trail. NO car rides (I dont even have a car). Your dog always stays close to home and in a familiar environment. Treats will be used for positive reinforcement but due to dogs having food allergies, I DO NOT provide treats. All owners must provide their OWN pet-specific "safe treats" and note ANY restrictions such as "Only one or two whole treats" or for bigger dogs, "5 cookies max" (these are just generic examples, its up to you to know your pets diet and leave instructions for what your pet needs). CATS- same deal, although cats typically wont take treats from strangers so don't be offended or surprised if you find kitty crunchies left untouched. Kitty churus/"tubes"- if your cat cannot have the whole tube, please leave a ziplock baggie that I can put the remainder of the tube in. I will only squeeze out the directed amount and then place the tube in the baggie and leave it in your fridge so it doesnt spoil from the coastal heat/humidity and so bugs cant get in it.

About: I have three dogs of my own, so caring for animals is a consistent and structured part of my daily routine. I prioritize long, intentional walks, enrichment, and balanced play to support both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats, and comfortable with a wide range of sizes, breeds, and temperaments. With dogs, I’m familiar with everything from small companion breeds to larger, more energetic dogs. With cats, I understand the importance of respecting their space, routines, and comfort levels. In both cases, I pay close attention to body language and behavioral cues so I can adapt my care to each pet’s individual needs. I also have experience supporting animals with separation anxiety by providing a calm presence, consistency, and reassurance so they feel secure while their owners are away. I focus on creating a stable, predictable environment that helps reduce stress and build trust. Reliability, patience, and consistency are central to my care. I take time to understand each pet’s routine and reinforce positive behaviors during walks and visits, always aiming to maintain the structure and comfort they are used to at home. I’ve been around animals my entire life and bring both intuition and responsibility to every booking. My goal is simple: to provide safe, attentive, and genuinely caring support so your pets feel comfortable, understood, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I already care for my own dogs every day. I’m used to structuring my schedule around consistent walks, feeding, playtime, and general care, so it’s already built into how I plan my days. I have full-day availability and a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of needs throughout the week, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I’m able to adjust my day based on each pet’s routine so they receive consistent, reliable care at the times they’re used to. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight house sitting, I prioritize being present, dependable, and attentive. My goal is to maintain each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible while providing calm, consistent care throughout the day or stay. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, respect, and maintaining a calm, familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, and any specific instructions provided, to ensure consistency and comfort. I am very attentive to each pet’s behavior and body language, which helps me respond appropriately to their needs and ensure they feel safe and understood. For pets that may experience anxiety, I focus on providing a steady, reassuring presence and minimizing disruption to their normal routine. I also provide updates as needed so owners feel informed and at ease throughout my care. I treat every home with care and responsibility, making sure to keep the space clean, secure, and exactly as I found it, while being mindful of safety at all times, including doors, leashes, and any specific household guidelines. My goal is to create a stable, trustworthy environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for, and owners feel confident that both their home and their pet are in reliable hands.

About: Your Pets Are Family And I’ll Treat Them That Way! Hi! I have a deep passion for animal care I have hands on experience providing dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight pet sitting, and farm sitting, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and individual needs. I have done animals from dogs, cats , to turtles, lizards, chickens, donkeys, horses, pigs, goats, ducks etc! I have cared for multiple animals throughout the day, including walks, feeding, playtime, park visits, enrichment, and companionship. I also have experience with overnight stays, administering oral medications according to owner instructions, managing feeding schedules and dietary restrictions, and keeping pet areas clean and comfortable. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to follow your instructions and keep their normal routine as consistent as possible while you're away. Whether your pup needs a long walk, a little extra playtime, medication, lots of cuddles, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to be there for them. 🐶❤️ I’m dependable, communicative, attentive, and compassionate, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are in good hands. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you **and** your pets. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry family and give them the same love and attention I would give my own! 🐾 I am available monday through sunday! i live nearby in bellmore and can drive wherever you need to! i have an open and flexible schedule I have crate and all safety knowledge from working at multiple pet and farm sitting companies including california, new york and tennesee ! Watching for a pet can be like caring for a newborn. I always make sure if there are any fences or gates they are closed before letting mine or anyone’s pet outside. I take precautions with walks with the heat with paw balm and making sure the leash is on correctly and stays on a different side of the street from other dogs with a strong grip. Safety always comes first and working with dogs you learn to make sure every precaution is taken with safety.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with several years of experience both pet sitting and working in an animal hospital as a veterinary assistant. Through my work, I’ve gained hands-on experience handling dogs and cats of all temperaments, supporting their care, and becoming familiar with recognizing when something may be off. At the same time, my approach to pet sitting is always centered around making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their home environment. I’m also a pet owner to my 11-year-old girl, so I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. Pet care is a natural part of my weekly routine. I currently work as a veterinary assistant, so I am already around animals regularly and used to maintaining consistent care schedules. Outside of work, I plan my availability around pet sitting bookings to ensure I can give each pet the time and attention they need. This includes morning and evening visits, walks, feeding schedules, and check-ins depending on the pet’s routine. Because I’m also a pet owner myself, caring for animals is already built into my daily life. I’m used to early mornings, structured feeding times, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I’m very intentional about only accepting bookings I can fully commit to, so each pet receives reliable, attentive care. When I arrive, I follow all instructions exactly as provided to maintain your pet’s normal routine and comfort. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and that litter boxes or walking needs are taken care of promptly. During each visit, I also spend time engaging with your pet based on their personality—whether that’s playtime, companionship, or giving them space if they are more independent. I keep your home clean, organized, and secure while I’m there, and I always double-check doors, gates, and any safety instructions before leaving. I also provide updates so you can feel confident knowing how your pet is doing while you’re away.

Marissa is an absolute excellent choice for petsitting. I highly recommend her. She is patient, knowledgeable, and helpful. I had never left my cats alone before and after my experience with her, I felt relieved and reassured everything was going just fine. My cat needs special meal attention and she was able to accommodate him beautifully. She gave me detailed information on what was going on as well as pictures and videos. I will 100% use her in the future! She was amazing!

Stephanie took great care of my two cats, Oreo and Nala, while I was away. She followed all of my instructions and made sure their routines were kept consistent, which I really appreciated. Oreo is a social butterfly and enjoyed her company right away. What impressed me most was seeing my shy girl Nala slowly come out of her shell. By the last couple of visits she was rubbing against Stephanie and even allowing pets, which is a big deal for her. That alone speaks volumes to me. Stephanie also shared photos during the visits and kept things running smoothly while I was gone. I’m grateful that I was able to relax on my trip knowing my cats were being looked after, and came home to two happy kitties. Thank you again, Stephanie! 🐱

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Harbor Isle

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 3,360 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Harbor Isle. 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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

  • 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 85% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
