“Rebecca took the time to come meet our nervous pup before we completed the booking. He can be wary of strangers but he immediately seemed to relax with Rebecca!”
“Did a great job with my cat while I was gone! Nicole makes time for your pet, doesn’t pressure the skittish ones to come out and socialize, and does an awesome job caring for both your pet and your home. She kept my apartment clean despite my cat’s messy habits, and also cared for my temperamental mint plant.”
“Alexandra/Allie was phenomenal - not only did she keep him entertained, fed and medicated, she also took many cute photos of him daily, paid extra attention to his urinary condition when there was a mini urinary blockage scare, and even attempted several nail trims (he's a squirmy one) as I've had so much trouble. I knew he was in good hands. Would 10/10 recommend, and would absolutely ask her again if she's available!”
About: I grew up with dogs. I helped care for the family dog and in the past 6 years have periodically dog-sat for neighbors, family and friends. I love dogs and will love your dog like they are my own. I am a teacher who works 8:15 - 4:00 Monday through Friday. I have the summers off as well as holiday breaks. I keep an active lifestyle and will make sure your dog gets daily movement. I have a fully fenced in backyard and live in a dog friendly neighborhood near a park. I have one dog, Hazel. She is amazing with other dogs and will be best friends with your dog by the end of the stay.
“Rico is amazing and as quickly become a valued part of our family. He is thorough, kind, and highly communicative, which is so appreciated as pet parents.”
“Stacie was amazing with our pets. Our dogs can be particular and overly anxious, but they were always excited to see her. She asked questions about our animals that I hadn’t thought of and really wanted to make sure they were well taken care of. She always kept us updated and sent us lots of pictures. I would absolutely book Stacie again in the future. She is wonderful.”
“Jess was wonderful with our cat. She made sure our girl had enough food and fresh water, cleaned the litter box, and made sure she was ok (even though our cat is skittish and hid). She was super nice and kept us updated via text. We will definitely hire her again when we go out of town.”
“Hired Caroline again because of how well it went the first time. My kitties loved their sitter, even my shy kitty! Caroline also gets the best pictures to share with you.”
“John is easygoing and passionate about pet care. Based on our initial meeting I had no reservations about his ability to manage drop-in visits with my cat. While I was away, he provided detailed reports on each visits with photos to document their activities together. John clearly made the effort to bond with my cat and show him the affection he desperately craves while I’m away. I will certainly invite John to return in the future.”
About: My name is Alex Johnson and I am 29 years old and would love to dog/cat sit for you! I recently graduated from Rider University and looking for a friendly companion to look after in doing something I love. I am very responsible with dogs and give them all the attention they need! I am able to give your dog any treatments as needed. I will be 100% dedicated to your dog and will abide by any necessary requirements your dog needs. I always make sure that I have time for pet care and that the animals I take care of are comfortable and happy to be with me! I take care of my 7 year old cat and 3 year old dog by responding to them in an attentive manner. They always get the best treatment!
About: I have worked for several vet offices, volunteered at animal shelters, and currently help with a local rescue. I have completed a CGC certification, compete in agility trials with my Lab mix, and am comfortable with all breeds. My volunteer experience also includes a dog daycare. My background includes bathing and grooming, nail trims, housetraining, obedience, tricks, medication, and senior care. I have a large fenced yard and my dog is friendly with all furry visitors. I understand animals feel most comfortable with their routine and am dedicated to following instructions to make them feel at ease. I am also open and honest with all communication to support a reliable working relationship. I look forward to helping you care for an important part of your family.
“Anais did a phenomenal job watching out puppies while we were on vacation. She worked with our wants/needs and handled our crazy pups like a pro. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for someone to walk or sit their dogs.”
About: Certainly a lover of all animals, but I'm mostly definitely a dog person!! I have cared for my own jack russell for the past several years, but had to leave her with my parents since my original apartment did not allow pets. Now, however, I’m in a pet friendly area and have my own pit mix named Buddy! He is a rescue so new introductions need to move slowly, but once he gets to know you he will love you unconditionally! We are looking for a walker to come between 11:30-1 on weekdays to walk him for a half hour. I’m happy to do a run through walk with you to make sure you’re comfortable and ready to take on The Bud Man. Let me know if you’re interested! I work full time as a teacher but am available mid-late afternoons, weekends and holidays. For summer I am looking for full time dog care jobs! I typically don’t have my dog around other dogs for safety precautions. Depending on the clients preferences, I can frequently let your pets out for potty breaks, take them out on leashes during potty breaks, feed them, administer medical care as needed, and give them lots of loving.
“Ona was excellent she took great care of our cat who needs a puppy 2x a day. She sent pictures daily and reports. All was well when we got home and she even scooped the litter and brought in our mail!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Irondequoit
Holly is wonderful! We were lucky she was available for a couple last-minute drop-in appointments. She texted back quickly. Our cat, who hates to be held, needs to have her paws dipped into a medication solution for as close to 5 mins as possible everyday. Not only was Holly unfazed by this task, but she was more successful with it than we often are! She is clearly familiar with animal behavior and is willing and able to adapt to pet’s personality to keep them healthy and happy. She adjusted her approach as she went based on her observations, which let me know she was really paying attention during visits. Holly is also communicative and easy to talk to. 10/10 would recommend
Jessica took care of our 2 cats for 4 days, stopping in once/day. Our cats are very social with one in particular needing a lot of love. She made sure to communicate regularly (included pictures) and was very responsive to my texts. She seemed very thorough and left the kitties well taken care of. Thank you, Jessica!
We're so grateful to Lana for taking care of our kitty babies while we were away. She's responsible, reliable and very pleasant. This was our second time leaving our cats in her care. Knowing that she was there let us enjoy our vacation without worrying about home. She's wonderful!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Irondequoit on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 455 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Irondequoit. 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.
