About: I am a just starting at Pace Law and missing my animals deeply. I have made a summer job the past few years dog sitting. I have a wide variety of experience, from caring for three 60lbs+ lap dogs for a week to three cats I would barely see. I love every animal like it is my own (smothered in love) and I make sure to take lots of pictures (I can’t help it!). I am starting my law school journey and I am looking to schedule in some animal time. I am completely free after 4 most days for walks or dinner time and have open weekends. I have lots of experience with animals of many different needs and can easily adapt to instruction. I will be sure to love your baby and provide care above and beyond.

About: I have experience with petsitting very anxious dogs, pets with special needs, and pets who need more attention than most. Just let me know ahead of time if your dog barks at everything so I can be prepared to soothe them. I'm pretty flexible with most pets! I'm available 24/7 in Westchester, NY. I need something to do to keep me busy since I don't have much of a schedule at the moment. Let me know if your pet has any special needs or preferences. Please bring toys or anything else your pet uses daily. I'm pretty flexible and I can sort out the rest of anything.

About: Hi! I'm Jenn, an animal lover based offering attentive, reliable care for your dogs and cats. As a cat owner myself, I understand the patience, routines, and little details that keep pets happy and comfortable. I've cared for dogs of all sizes: feeding, walking, playtime, and plenty of affection and I'm comfortable administering medications, so pets with special needs are always welcome. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, drop-in visits while you're away, or a cozy overnight stay in my apartment, I'll treat them with love and patience. You'll get timely updates, photos, and real peace of mind while you're away. I'm also fully bilingual in English and Spanish. ¡Hablo español, así que también atiendo con gusto a familias hispanohablantes! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority. I'd love to meet you and your furry family member! I have a full time job during weekdays. With 3 on site office days and 2 remote days. I'm available weekdays after 5pm and weekends. In my home (boarding): I keep a clean, calm, secure apartment with no other resident pets, so your dog or cat has a quiet space and my full attention. I keep doors and windows secured, never leave a pet unattended in unfamiliar surroundings, and follow the feeding, walking, and medication schedule you provide. Leashes always go on before we step outside. In your home (drop-in visits & walks): I follow your instructions exactly — feeding, fresh water, litter or potty breaks, playtime, and any medications. I respect your home, lock up carefully, and leave everything as I found it. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and stick to safe, familiar routes. For every service: I send photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe, I stay reachable throughout the booking, and I always do a free meet-and-greet first. If anything ever seems off with your pet's health or behavior, I'll contact you right away and follow your emergency plan.

About: I grew up in a big family with lots of pets including dogs, cats, rodents, and birds. I have been successful in self-taught basic training of dogs. I am a graduate student who plans to have pet care be a source of income that fits around my schedule. I have classes during the week and currently live on campus which is why I cannot provide care in my home. I have owned many pets in my life and have cared for different ages from puppies and kittens to seniors. I enjoy promoting enrichment activities and physical exercise.

About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of pets—dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, reptiles, and more! From walking and feeding to bathing and overnight sitting, I’ve been the trusted go-to for family, friends, and neighbors. I truly believe animals bring a special kind of peace, and in return, I give them all the love, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands while you’re away, so you can relax knowing they’re well cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week, including weekends. I make sure each pet receives consistent care, playtime, exercise, and companionship while following their normal routine as closely as possible. I approach caring for pets with love, patience, and a deep understanding of their individual needs. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a comfortable and stress-free environment. I make sure to stick to their usual routines—feeding, walking, and playtime—so they feel secure and at ease. If I’m in your home, I ensure everything remains as you left it, with added attention to your pet’s safety and well-being. In my home, I provide a cozy, safe space where your pet will get plenty of affection and care. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re with family, wherever they are.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life! I grew up with two dogs, three cats, and five hamsters, so there’s never been a dull moment! My Beagle, Argos, was my first best friend. He was full of energy, and we were practically inseparable! I also cared for him through his senior years, which taught me so much about patience and understanding older pets. Then came Sumo, our Chow Chow, who was the complete opposite! He acted more like a cat, loved his independence, and enjoyed long walks. I’ve also cared for my neighbor’s Pit Bull and a family member’s Australian Shepherd. I’ve even traveled all the way to Amsterdam to dog sit for family! I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters with both cats and dogs, where I gained experience working with stressed and nervous animals and learned how important patience and a gentle approach can be. From energetic pups to laid-back seniors, I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Big or small, I’ll treat your furry friend like my own, and I can’t wait to meet them! 🐾 I work remotely part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your furry friends! I’m available Monday through Thursday after 4 PM and have completely open availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m happy to work around their routine! I have a large, fully fenced backyard where your furry friends can safely run around, play, and get plenty of exercise! Outdoor playtime is always supervised, so your pet will never be left outside alone. I love spending time with animals, whether it’s playing fetch, going for walks, or just relaxing and giving them lots of cuddles! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I’ll follow their usual feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions you provide. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and make sure your furry friend feels just as loved and cared for as they would with you. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates throughout the day so you know they’re in good hands!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 6 years and have lots of experience with smaller breeds, especially female dogs.

I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and love while they’re with me.

For boarding and overnight stays, I’m available Thursday through Sunday and can give your pet lots of attention and care while they’re with me I live in a loving family home in the suburbs of Yonkers with my parents and brother, so there’s usually someone around to give your pet some extra love and attention. We have a fenced-in yard with plenty of room to play, and I can easily crate your dog if needed. There are also several nice parks and walking areas nearby, so they’ll have plenty of opportunities to get outside and explore.

My miniature Dachshund is very friendly with other animals, especially cats, and I always do my best to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home

About: I’ve been caring for pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs of my own and a cat for 12 years, giving me over 25 years of hands-on experience providing daily care, companionship, and love.

Cynthia is fantastic. She’s taken care of my cats several times now, and is very responsible and communicative. My older cat needs medication daily, and sometimes is not as cooperative about taking it as he should be. Cynthia knows how to handle him and get him to take it regardless of his mood. I love getting the photos after she finishes up each visit so I know they are well. If you are going away and need someone to look after your furballs, I highly recommend Cynthia.

I cannot speak highly enough of Brandon. My shy boys have really warmed to him over 4 engagements across a couple of years. He is very attentive, takes good care of the boys, and respectful of my house (very important to me when someone is in my house when I'm away). On this trip I had to extend my travels by a couple of days and fortunately Brandon was flexible and stayed on an extra 2 days which helped massively in a very stressful situation. I feel lucky to have found Brandon and know I can safely go away knowing my cats are in such safe hands

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Hartsdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Hartsdale is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $46 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 12,217 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hartsdale. 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 .

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 , 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
