About: I have always had a pet, and was a dog groomer for two years, as well as became certified. I worked at a pet store for 3 years! I am available 24/7 for pet sitting. They will never be left alone in my care, as well as going on walks whenever you’d like! My cat is my baby so I completely understand how loved your pets are, and will be sure to give them the same amount of love.
“Josh did a wonderful job taking care of Mali. Mali took to Josh right away when he came for his meet visit which really put our mind at ease. He went above and beyond taking care of her. This was our first time using a rover but I will not hesitate to use Josh again. Mali was happy and well taken care of when we got home from our trip.”
“Rachel is phenomenal. If I could give more than 5-stars I would! Always in communication with fact filled, fun updates and photos! My kitty is wary of new people but Rachel got Millie to come out of her shell instantly. I cannot think of a better person to entrust with the care of a furry friend. Rachel is the best!!”
“Taylor is great with our dog and she communicates so well from the time of booking to post visits. She also has been available last minute when we desperately needed help. Highly recommended Taylor!”
“Great sitter for our cat Harley. Felt like she knew Harley after just the meet and greet. Regan took special care to make Harley feel comfortable with her and brought his food to him when he was feeling anxious about her arrival on the first day. Will be rebooking Regan if we need another sitter.”
“Marilyn is fantastic with our fur babies. She is prompt and very detailed in her visit communications. On the second visit, she even won over our Maltese—that has never happened!”
“Mirelsa was so amazing with our kitties. We truly appreciate how above and beyond she went, especially dealing with our elderly kitty and playing a lot with the younger one. The kitty toy and card were so sweet 😭 the kitties will miss her. Couldn’t recommend enough. Thank you so much!!!”
About: Growing up with rescues and shelter dogs, ranging from 20-100lbs, I’ve always had a love for dogs. No matter what experience or pasts they have come from, I was always quick to form a bond with each pet my family and I have. Whether you are looking for someone to care for a senior dog needing a bit more patience and attention to medical needs, or an active and alert, playtime companion…you’ve found it with me! I have cared for family pets needing a special diet, set schedule and daily walks—to friends, coworkers and outside referrals for overnight stays or check in’s, and my favorite- walks! I believe that exercise is the best medicine and not to worry if your dog has certain triggers or lacks some leash manners. I can tailor walks and routines to what your dog needs and enjoys. I can’t wait to meet your pup! I currently work in the office M-Th from 8-3:30, so I have some flexibility during the week with times I can check in, and evenings and early mornings are easy to schedule. My weekends are almost always available! In my home, I have a Pit/husky mix. However over the 10 years of being my own dog parent, I have hosted German shepards, Belgian malinois, hounds, and other pitbull mixes. I know how to administer medications and apply topical ointments if needed. I also understand if your pet(s) need certain accommodations or requests like avoiding other dogs on walks, and certain things he or she likes or doesn’t like.
About: Hi, I’m Chris! I provide reliable, high-quality dog walking and drop-in visits for busy pet parents. Every animal has a unique personality and routine. I focus on keeping your pets safe, happy, and comfortable in their own environment. Whether your dog needs a refreshing mid-day walk to burn off energy, or your cat requires a drop-in visit for feeding and litter cleanup, I tailor my care to their exact needs.I pride myself on clear communication and absolute reliability. You will always receive detailed updates and photos from our time together, giving you total peace of mind while you are away. I am a realtor which allows me to set my own hours and can be pretty flexible on a daily basis. I can typically be pretty open all day! I care for pets at their own home by mirroring their exact daily routine to minimize separation anxiety. Whatever is needed from me I will gladly do!
“Natalia was such an amazing and experienced cat sitter! Our first time using Rover and we really lucked out with her. Our kitty warmed up to her immediately and it was clear Natalia had a warm and caring presence. She was very prompt on her visits and sending photo updates. Everything went perfectly thanks to her. Will be booking again!! 💕🫶💕”
About: I’ll make sure they get an opportunity to enjoy themselves when you’re not available, and I’ll make sure their needs are met. You book me, you can trust your pet is taken care of. Flexible schedule. Available weekends upon special request. M-F, 9am to 10am, 12pm to 1pm, 4pm to 5pm are only times available as of right now I have a fenced yard, and two crates available. I prefer to understand the animal and client’s normal routine and proactively plan a meet and greet so the animal becomes familiar with me before further interactions.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Harlem on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Harlem. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
