About: Hi! I’m an avid animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds. As a proud pet parent to three dogs and two cats, I know firsthand that our pets aren’t just animals—they’re family! ❤️ My love for animals goes beyond just providing basic care. I believe every pet deserves patience, attention, affection, and a safe, loving environment where they feel comfortable and happy. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply keeping your furry friend company, I’m happy to make sure they receive the love and care they deserve. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for a variety of animals, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routines. I’m committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pets, and I would treat yours with the same love and care I give my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! 🐶🐱❤️ I work full-time from home and my job is very flexible. I’m able to accept same day requests and can check on your pet frequently if needed. I will be sure to be very respectable of your home and will make sure everything is as it was when I came in. Will clean up any mess made by pet if needed.
“Beth is the best pet sitter! She cared for my two cats, one who is extremely shy and the other who requires lots of attention and some daily meds. They both adored her, even my shy kitty opened up to her quickly. I highly recommend and will book again.”
“Amanda was great with our kitties while we were away on vacation! She sent lots of updates with photos/videos and was very respectful of our space. Amanda went above and beyond during meal times as our kitties need to be separated and can be picky eaters. I would highly recommend Amanda for any of your pet care needs!”
“Another successful trip with Lindsay as Lana’s cat-sitter! Lindsay is extremely caring and gives the pets she watches so much time, attention, and affection. She genuinely loves and cares about your pet and that you feel at ease while you are away by sending cute updates and photos multiple times a day. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for someone to watch their cat!”
About: I have cared for pets of all shapes and sizes for my entire life. From dogs and cats to squirrels and turtles, I love to care for any animal! I have personal experience with animals needing medication or special care. I also have experience with reactive or aggressive breeds (my own girl, Rhea, is a reactive and extremely anxious rescue pup!). I have worked with very high energy dogs and love getting steps in and would love to help burn your fur babies energy. I have a very adaptable schedule and would love to help in any way I can with any and all of your pets!! I have a very flexible work schedule so I have plenty of time to look after or entertain your pets! I am available daily for walking and play time, feeding, or anything else you might need! I would love to help give some extra love and attention to your pet family. I am a very active person and love taking my dog on adventures and walks, so I am very willing and able to do the same with your fur-babies! I am very patient and have personally worked with rescues and senior animals who need a little extra TLC and time to adjust or move around. I am very understanding when it comes to particular ways of handling situations or routines as my girl is a rescue and can also be picky with things (eating, reactivity, medication, etc)! I am very flexible and can work with you to make sure your pets have the best experience possible with me and love to learn every animals different personalities!

I prefer taking care of pets in their home environment. I can drive long distance if needed. Looking forward to getting to know your pet & starting a strong companionship right away.
“Lilian was great. She took very good care of our two cats and always provided nice pics and good updates. Our cats were definitely comfortable with her. I definitely would book her services in the future.”
About: I lovingly cared for my sweet dog for 11 years, treating him like my own child. I provided constant care and medication management during his final days. I’m now a proud cat mom to two adorable kitties! I’ve also pet-sat for friends and family, and nothing makes me happier than loving on furry friends. Your pets will receive all the affection, patience, and attention they deserve, because I’ll treat them like my own! I’m available full-time to care for your pets because this is my true passion. Your animals will receive my full attention, love, and dedication. My yard is fully fenced, providing a secure outdoor space for supervised play and fresh air. If needed, I can also crate your dog in a peaceful, quiet, and comfortable environment where they can relax and feel safe.
“Laurie is an outstanding pet sitter. For many years, I was very afraid to leave my older dachshund in someone else's care. My little one is a very nervous and sensitive pup. After reading Laurie and Cliff's many positive reviews, I was fortunate enough to have a meet and greet with Laurie. I'm very glad that I did. While caring for my pup, Laurie updated me often about Delilah's status through pictures and videos. My baby looked very happy and content. Laurie is a very sweet, caring, and conscientious caregiver. She was very gentle with my sweet girl. She went above my expectations and I would highly recommend her services to anyone. Thank you Laurie so very much. I am truly grateful.”
About: Organized, energetic, engaging, patient, hands-on, and just very attentive. I want to make sure you and your pet are satisfied with my service and time. I work remotely weekdays so I’m available usually 7 days a week to sit your pet when you have to run out for any reason! I have no problem doing pop ins for walks, feedings, or simply pets! I’m flexible as I do know life can throw curveballs often. I make sure to clean up after the pet or myself. I just try to make sure the pet feels at home despite me being the odd thing out. I follow instructions per pet owners and wouldn't want to jeopardize your pet or my safety
“Lily has been watching our pups and house sitting for us for the last year and we are so lucky to have her! She takes amazing care of our three pups (a very shy and particular husky, a golden, and a super high energy Dutch shepherd). She manages each pups personality beautifully and all three love her, which is a big deal considering our girl dog is very particular with who she lets care for her! We never have to worry when we go away because we know that the dogs love Lily and she has a ton of experience to manage all of the different breeds and their needs! She also takes amazing care of our home and our fish while she’s here! We can’t recommend Lily highly enough!”
About: As w most people here i have a love for animals and am on track for a career in veterinary medicine. I have a dog of my own but also have a wide range of skills with many different animals (rodent, reptiles, various exotics, etc) due to my experience working in and completing a two year BOCES program for veterinary medicine assisting which included dogs and cats ofc. I currently volunteer at a shelter walking the dogs there so I'm equipped to handle dogs of many sizes and temperaments. I also have experience working w cats of various sizes and temperaments from a separate shelter. I'm very good w adjusting my technique and handling for different animals in order to safely and properly handle them in the ways they need/ feel comfortable. Im confident in my skills and always willing to learn/ experience new situations. sooo yea im here☺️ I currently have a part-time job, but it has very flexible hours and while I am a student, I usually take these jobs on during breaks or downtime so I have open availability. I do personally have a fenced backyard and a dog back home usually if I’m hosting another dog I do my best to keep their schedules consistent but separate as my dog is very selective. Usually, I will do pet sitting at the other dog’s house where I can completely make sure that they are comfortable in their environment and follow their routine as close as possible.
About: Hello! My name is Brittany and I have had animals my whole life, Growing up I always had dogs and cats, and still do! I'm very passionate about animals. My day job is working with special needs adults which has taught me a lot of patience and understanding for all behaviors! My job is very flexible and I will never accept a task I cannot fully commit to. If I accept your booking I will be there for your animals 100% of the time. I own one dog and 3 cats at my house. My backyard is spacious and completely fenced in, all animals will be supervised at all times, especially when in the backyard because I do have a pool. All of my animals are very well trained and friendly towards others and will not be scared or aggressive towards other dogs and cats. Rooms separate from any animals are available for small animals such as fish, hamsters, bunnies and more, that will never come in contact with any of my cats so they are not stressed out!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Islip Terrace
We were so concerned for our 2 cats since we were going to be away for 3 weeks. One of them needs meds twice a day. Sandy came over twice a day for 21 days. She scooped litter boxes, washed pet dishes, and gave them food and water. Due to concerns for data charges while we were overseas, she sent detailed text updates on each visit and kept photos to a minimum. We appreciated that. :) She was very caring and gave affection when they wanted it and didn't push when they didn't. Cats appreciated that. :) I definitely would recommend Sandy.
This is my third time using Autumn for my spicy cat Loki and I would recommend her to anyone. She has gone above and beyond to accommodate when my plans change and Loki seems to like her more than me! Her updates are always detailed and requests are always completed.
Once again, Steff provided great care to our two mischiefs while we were on vacation. Communication was great and the cats love their play time. One accident with the cat not finding the litter robot was dealt with right away and we came back to a spotless house and content cats. Highly recommended!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Islip Terrace is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $34 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 of October 2026, there are 5,301 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Islip Terrace. 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 .

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.
