“Leaving another five star review to thank Dayanara for her services. She did an amazing job giving us peace of mind for our two cats while we were away for a couple weeks on vacation. She double checked our automated water and feeder were always topped up, and went out of her way to make sure our automatic vacuum was seated properly in it's dock. I haven't trusted anyone else on any platform to watch my cats for the past few years and we're beyond lucky she was still available this past month. Thanks Dayanara!”

About: I have extensive hands-on experience in dog training, beginning with my first dog, a Jack Russell Terrier. Through agility and obedience training with her, I developed a strong understanding of canine behaviour, communication, and structure. I provide long, structured walks tailored to each dog’s individual energy level, temperament, and needs. At the owner’s request, I also incorporate basic obedience training, behaviour correction, and work on specific challenges such as leash pulling, reactivity, or lack of focus. I am attentive, patient, and consistent in my approach, always prioritising safety, mental stimulation, and the overall well-being of every dog in my care. I'm currently free on weekdays and sometimes on weekends too, early mornings and afternoons fits for me. I'm flexible for changes in my schedule and can adjust it to yours as well The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they are in a clean, secure, and calm environment. After walks, I always wipe or wash their paws, and I can bathe them if needed. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, treats, routines, and any special requirements. If medication is required, I administer it responsibly and exactly as directed. I pay close attention to each pet’s behaviour and comfort level to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times.

“Sin Ying is wonderful with cats! My cat is very shy and cautious around strangers, but he warmed up to her surprisingly well and was comfortable interacting with her. She was also great at administering his medication and inhaler, Really appreciated how patient and gentle she was with him. Absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter!”

About: I'm new to dog care but excited to learn and expand my skillset! So far I've cared for small and medium-sized canines as pet sitters, dogs in the prime of their lives as well as ones in their elder years. My schedule is very flexible as I'm currently a graduate student and freelance writer. I work from home and my classes are remote, so I can easily care for pets while meeting my school and work deadlines. I am a conscientious pet/house sitter and will treat your home as my own, leaving it as clean as I found it if not better. I am also highly detail-oriented and will follow your care instructions with meticulous attention.

About: I've been caring for animals in different capacities for at least a year, and being a cat owner myself has shown me how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Our pets are family, and they deserve to be treated with the same love and attention we give them ourselves. I have experience walking dogs, as well as caring for cats with specific needs. Specifically, with my own cat who has kidney disease and eats prescription food. Additionally, I have experience administering medication (through food as well as by syringe). My goal is to provide every pet with compassionate, reliable care while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family members are in good hands. My schedule is currently very flexible for the summer, allowing me to accommodate a variety of booking needs. Before any service, I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet's routine and needs, and ensure we're a great fit. I want you to feel completely comfortable and confident that your pet will be in caring, reliable hands. When your pet is with me, they'll receive plenty of affection, playtime, and personalized care based on their needs and personality. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated, so you can expect regular messages, along with adorable photos and videos, to let you know how your furry friend is doing and how their walk or visit is going.

“This was my first time hiring a cat sitter and my experience was absolutely wonderful. Melissa took very good care of my cats when I was away, especially my diabetic baby who I was most concerned about. She followed the instructions I gave her and kept me updated along the way. She was very attentive. I truly appreciate her. I will definitely book her again.”

“Ariella was a total professional and went above and beyond to drop in on our sweet cat Claude while we were away for almost two weeks. She sent updates and photos daily and really seemed invested in how Claude was doing. She also noticed that a winter storm was due and proactively notified us. She topped up his food and water beforehand, and made sure he would be comfortable if she was snowed in for a day. But that wasn’t even necessary, because she came to visit him at 6 am to beat the snow on day one, and on the second day of the storm had her car dug out and came over to complete her visit. It takes so much to trust someone with your pet and to be in your house, and Ariella earned that right away with us. Thank you Ariella!!!”

“Reese was amazing! I was really nervous to leave my gorg kitten Lentil with a stranger for a whole week, but the two hit it off the moment they met! As soon as I left, Reese was sending pictures, videos, and progress reports of Lentil’s stay, which I really appreciated. Lentil is a cat, so he took some time adjusting, but Reese was patient with him and helpful the entire time. I 100% recommend Reese and I will definitely be working with her in the future! Thanks so much!”

About: When I was a young boy, I was terrified of dogs due to a negative experience when one bit me in the face. However, everything changed when I met my partner, who had a large dog named Bentley. Bentley was gentle, caring, and loving. He helped me overcome my fear of dogs. In return for all the help he gave me, I took care of Bentley until his very difficult last days. I have experience in pet care, specializing in providing loving care for senior dogs and foster dogs with special needs. I have managed post-surgery care, rehabilitation, and medication administration, ensuring each pet's health and comfort. My skills include handling dogs with behavior issues, potty training, walking and crate training. I am dedicated to creating a safe and comfortable environment for all dogs, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. I work from home, your dog will be supervised 24/7 while in my care. Your dog will have plenty of space to be comfortable in my home. Your dog will be walked in a leash and supervised though the duration of the walk. Your doggo will receive plenty of play time and attention. Plenty of toys to play with and share. I always keep fresh water available. If going on walks, I always make sure leashes and harness are in good working condition. Let me know if your dog is reactive or needs any special behavioral help. I have a French Bulldog that will keep your dog company as well.

Briana was so great!! I had a last minute family emergency come up and needed a sitter desperately for my cat and not only did she agree to take care of my cat last minute but she came to my place the same day I reached out to her before I had to leave for my flight to do a meet and greet. My cat instantly liked her energy and let her pet him/greet him. She responded quickly from the beginning all the way to the end of the visit and was also a great communicator. She went above and beyond for my cat by cleaning/refilling his bowls every day, cleaning his litter box, giving him pets/affection and sending me photos as well for my own reassurance! This was my first time leaving my cat with a stranger and I couldn’t be happier with how she handled everything! I would highly recommend her for anyone’s little fur baby!

Emily took such wonderful care of my cats, Tigerlily and Dante, and we are all very grateful for her. This was our first time leaving our cats behind. We were nervous but Emily made the whole experience completely stress-free with her kindness, consistent updates, and genuine love for animals. Tigerlily is usually pretty shy, and Dante loves attention, but somehow Emily made both of them feel so comfortable and cared for. She sent sweet photos and messages that really reassured me they were happy, and getting lots of love while we were away. When we came home, both cats were relaxed and had clearly enjoyed their time with her. It’s obvious that Emily genuinely cares about the animals she watches, and that kind of trust and warmth means everything. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and thoughtful cat sitter. Five stars without hesitation!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Howard Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Howard Beach is $23 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $27 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 November 2026, there are 3,515 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Howard 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 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 Howard Beach. On Rover:

  • 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 88% 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 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.
