“Kendra is very sweet and loves on our dog well. She made sure he had fresh water and food and gave hime the short walks his older hips needed. This was the first time she dog sat for us, and we had some communication issues at the beginning of out time away from home, but were able to resolve them quickly.”

About: I've been an animal care giver ever since I was a child. We always had dogs, cats, rabbits, and hamsters! I've owned a Siberian Husky as an adult. I'm excited to treat your fur baby as my own! I am Cat and Dog First Aid Certified through the American Red Cross. I'm currently working full time as I transition out of the military in October with 20 years of service. After mid-October I will be in the home full time. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for fun and exercise. Additionally, I have a 9 year old daughter who loves animals and is kind and gentle with the. No pets currently live in the home.
About: I'm frequently doing outdoor activities with my dogs. I've had dogs for over 15 years. Bolt I found in the side of the road and he’s been a wonderful addition to the pack (I’m a foster failure 🤷🏼♀️)! Rollo I met at a dog path with his former owner and I happily took him in when I was asked to adopt him. If your dog is a runner, so am I! We are a very active group, but are happy to lay around and snuggle if that’s your dog’s preference too. I am flexibly available. I am a military Officer. I've had great luck securing care for Rollo and Bolt in this app and just want to share that with others as well. My goal is to make sure your dog is just as happy with me as he or she is with you because that’s what I want for my two babies when I go away. Shoot me a message, and let's make a date to introduce our dogs! I am currently searching for new employment, and thought I’d activate my account again for extra cash. I am always doing things with my two dogs - dog parks, walks, outdoor play/lounging, chicken tending, gardening and more! I love doing everything I can with my dogs. I have ten acres with a run attached to a tree in my back yard. There’s a sprinkler for your dog to play in, if that’s their thing - and because we have chickens here, you’ll fur-baby will also get a raw fresh egg with breakfast if you approve. I am happy to care for senior dogs as long as they appear happy and aren’t 💩ing everywhere in my house.
“We loved having Rebecca watch our sweet pup. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures which we appreciated! She always showed up when she was supposed to and was just great to deal with overall.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and the proud owner of two French Bulldogs—a mother and her son. I’ve been involved in every stage of their care, from assisting with the birth of a litter to administering medications and routine injections when needed. I’ve also cared for as many as eight puppies at one time, so I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs while ensuring each receives plenty of attention and care. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I’ll tailor my care to their needs. I work full time, but I’m available before and after work as well as on weekends, allowing me to provide dependable care and consistent communication. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own.

“Hannah was a wonderful sitter! My shy girl warmed up to her by the second day and came out of hiding. That made me feel so much better being away and knowing that she wasn’t scared. Hannah communicated well and kept me updated, and she also did (what some may consider) minor things like opening the blinds for Purrkinje.💓”


“Nicole did a great job taking care of our pups. I loved getting the report cards every day showing that they were going potty and eating and drinking like they should. Our pups were happy well taken care of when we got back and knowing they were doing well helped us have a better trip. Nicole was very responsive before and during our trip so we weren't left worrying about what was going on.”

“Autumn was absolutely wonderful with my dogs and they lived her! She even sent pictures updates while she was there. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and I'm excited about using here in the future!”


About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. As a proud dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and dogs with different personalities and energy levels. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to help with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I work a professional full-time schedule during weekdays, but I intentionally structure my time to provide attentive care for pets in my home and during visits. I offer doggy daycare, overnight boarding, drop-in visits, and pet sitting depending on availability. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, affection, and supervision throughout their stay. I understand how important routine is, and I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable, secure, and right at home. As both a dog and cat owner myself, I know that pets are family. My home is a safe, loving, pet-friendly environment where your furry friend will be treated like one of my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, preferences, and any special care instructions before their stay. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, naps, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I provide regular photo and video updates, maintain a clean environment, closely monitor behavior and wellbeing, and prioritize safety at all times so you can enjoy complete peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for around 4 years now. I’ve taken care of up to 3 dogs at a time, as well as dogs of all sizes from King Charles Spaniel’s to American XL Bully. I have taken care of senior dogs, and less than year old puppies. I repeat dog sit for many families! I and trustworthy and responsible, and take care of the house while you’re away as well! I have a dog of my own, and also travel, so I prioritize making sure your pups are well loved like you aren’t even gone! I do have a part time job, some days I’ll be available all day, some days I will need to leave the house for 4-8 hours. I can be very flexible though, and will work around what works best for your animals! I will happily take your pups out in the back yard, take them for walks, cuddle with them, bathe them, and give them plenty of treats and love!
“Lilliana was absolutely amazing! Very communicative as she sent me pictures and updates every day. My pups loved her and she went out of her way to make sure they were well taken care of while we were gone. I 10/10 will be requesting her in the future”


About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs since my dad worked as a military police officer in the K-9 unit. I’ve also raised dogs of my own, giving me experience with puppies and senior pets. I also like cats and have cat sit for friends. I’m happy to support and listen to your pet care needs! I’m currently working part-time with a flexible schedule, so, with a prior notice, I will make time to support your pet! Mornings and evenings tend to work best as I am consistently finished with my shifts no later than 6pm and arrive by noon! I will listen to and perform in-home services at the client’s request. Feeding, playing with, and letting out pets are standard, but I will also check in with clients for other in-home services, such as bathing, walking, or brushing the pets’ teeth.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since early childhood. Between walking, feeding, and playing, I’ve cared for pups since I can remember. I have two mix breed babies at home. I am a writer with an 11 year old child. So taking your pets for a walk would be a nice break in my day! I have a large yard, and two medium sized fur dogs that love to play. I can also keep them separate if need be or even crate.
“Madolyn was amazing. I highly recommend her as sitter. I have a very skittish dog that was her best friend by the second day. I was not available so she sent a text to my husband every morning giving him a detailed update. I will definitely be using her again and again. 5 stars from this client.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 201 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Harlem. 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.
