“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!”
“Laura did such an amazing job taking care of our babies! They’re usually not comfortable with people outside of our family, but they warmed up to Laura, which says a lot. She followed all of our instructions carefully, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We could tell our cats were comfortable and well cared for. We’re so grateful for her and would absolutely book with Laura again!”
“I’m thinking of the below for the public review. What do you think? Melanie was a fantastic drop-in sitter for our two cat household. She spent the allotted time taking care of the daily chores (litter/food/water) and then any remaining time playing with the cats. She stayed in constant communication with us and sent videos and photos of the cats daily. The cats really seemed to enjoy playing with her! She also remembered to water our plants each day, which is beyond the scope of her duties. She had no problem adjusting to unfortunate circumstances that came up and was happy to help solve them. Our automatic feeder stopped working while we were gone, and Melanie helped us troubleshoot it. After it was clear it needed to be replaced, she retrieved the new feeder we had delivered and set it up. She even went out to get batteries from the store to make sure it operated properly. I would highly recommend her and will be using her services in the future.”

“Christy was an excellent sitter for my cat Velvet while I was away for a week !!!! Christy was courteous, professional, and attentive to all of my cat's needs! The daily check-ins and pictures provided by Christy were much appreciated and helped soothe my nerves. I would definitely book Christy again in a heartbeat, and I will definitely refer her to others I know who need sitters for their fur babies! Thanks again Christy for a job well done and for going above and beyond!”
“Our cat Teddy was glad to see Vanessa again for a couple days while we were out of town. She took good care of him and provided updates and photos. Vanessa is easy to work with, and we appreciated her prompt and thorough communication before, during, and after her visits as needed. Thank you!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and taken care of other people’s animals as well (: I’m very pet friendly have a few rescue animals myself! I’m currently a stay at home mom but my son is enrolled at school and I’m looking for a way to mix my hobbies into a profession I have one dog friendly cat and one cat friendly dog. Both are very well trained and maintain a pretty funny dynamic between the two (:
About: I have been a dog lover since I was born. I was a Dog mom to Jack, a rescue Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix for 16 years. He recently passed away on 7.24.26. Taking care of furry friends is a privilege for me now. I live a few blocks from Forest Park which is a great place for long walks with furry friends. I started dog walking when I lived in Asheville,NC while I went to,school at UNCA 15 years ago to make extra money. It ended up being the best part of my days. I have continued to,dog walk on a part time basis and enjoy bonding with dogs. They are absolutely precious animals that need daily exercise, attention and love just as Cesar Millan would say. I have learned so much about dogs through reading Cesar Millans books as well as watching his show. I have been working remotely since the pandemic in 2020, so I always have time to take care of furry friends throughout the day or week. I have a spacious 2 bedroom apartment and one of the bedrooms is dedicated to pets with a pet bed, toys and space to roam around and stay busy.
“Xiaoying was absolutely an amazing sitter and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She watched our two cats for over a week feed them, played with them, brushed them etc. The doorman in my building even miss placed the key to our apartment while we were gone and she even came back once the key was found. She even brought toys and took tons and tons of pictures while we were away. I would 100% use her again and I think anyone can rely on her while they are away.”
About: I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away! I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own, taking the time to understand their unique personality, routine, and needs. I currently do drop in visits and house sit for a 3-year-old Pit Bull named Dutch, providing walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and lots of affection while maintaining his regular routine. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive, and I understand how important consistency is for pets. Whether your pet loves long walks, energetic play sessions, quiet companionship, sticking to their daily routine, or just wants to sit outside and supervise the neighborhood squirrels, I'm committed to providing the same level of care and love that I'd want for my own pets. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, capable hands. :) I currently work part-time in the environmental field and work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule to meet your pet's needs. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or sticking to your pet's regular routine, I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for both you and your furry friend. :) Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I know every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel most comfortable. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love while following your instructions closely. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands!
About: I’ve had cats and dogs that I cared for many years. I potty trained my dog with treats and also groom him. He listens to me when I call to him. I am retired and work PartTime three days a week. I love being around cats and dogs and enjoy watching them play. I have a Pomeranian that is 22 lbs. I have a very friendly dog with up to date shots. He would love to have a playmate. He loves running and playing with other dogs.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The purr-fect home away from home for Romeo! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my cat, Romeo! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he’d be in caring, capable hands and would be treated like part of her family. I received regular photo updates that warmed my heart—pictures of him lounging comfortably, playing, or getting some sweet attention. She spent quality time rubbing and petting him, and I could tell from the photos and updates that he was soaking up all the love and affection. Sarah was attentive to all of Romeo’s needs and made sure he felt safe, calm, and cared for in a new environment. When I picked him up, he looked healthy, content, and completely at ease. If you're looking for a sitter who will treat your pet with love, patience, and genuine care, this is the one. I’m beyond grateful for the amazing care and will definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!”
About: Growing up, I had the joy of loving and caring for an 80-pound, goofy, American Pitt Bull Terrier, named Meryn. Throughout my high school years, he was my constant companion, playing catch at the East River Park on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. We would jog across the Williamsburg Bridge and run up and down the stairwell in my apartment building to burn off energy (we lived on the 11th floor). He was an incredibly curious boy, who made training fun. He was very motivated by treats and praise. Through repetition and treats he learned all the basic commands. I have petsat many times for family members over the years. Pets included are dogs (large and small breeds) cats, hamsters, and a bearded dragon once. My longest dogsitting experience lasted 3 weeks with my aunt’s pug, Coco Rico, while my aunt was on vacation. During this time, Rico had an ear infection and I had to administer his ear drops. Being a pug, I had to ensure his eyes and face folds were clean. I have catsit for my brother’s diabetic cat, Tuna Fish, on several occasions. I administered insulin injections daily. I learned how to measure the proper dosage and how to safely/comfortably give her the injections. She was diagnosed with diabetes in 2020, so it was not easy learning how to give a cat a shot via a Zoom call with the vet! But learning this and helping my brother with the insulin injections, kept Tuna going for 4 more years after diagnosis. This is by far the most medical care experience I have had with pets. Nowadays, I regularly borrow my Gen Z daughter’s dog, Espresso. He’s a Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix, and my favorite little guy. My grandpup, if you will. With this past winter being a very cold one in NYC, I ensured to dress Espresso in his sweater, coat, and boots for his walks. I do photo shoots with him while on walks, during play time, and naps. I update her with anecdotes throughout the day, such as mentioning any puppy pals we ran into while out and anything funny or adorable he’s done. She even recently said to me, “You take the most wonderful pictures of him.” That truly warmed my heart because I love capturing him in different places and poses. My pet baby now is an American short hair cat with calico patterned fur, named Basil (aka Ms. Lady Boop Boop). She’s a 16 year old, still feisty gal, who has a favorite fishy toy that dangles from a wand. Being a senior, she has developed arthritis in her old age and now makes use of cushioned stairs to get on the couch/bed. She also needs an eye ointment, the application of which has become part of our daily routine. In the past, when she has been ill, I've also given her medicine in liquid form via syringe as well as getting her to swallow a pill. Additionally, I took care of a feral cat that would visit me now and then. My family has a home in Albany, in upstate New York, and I'm happy to board dogs up there for weekends or extended stays should a pet parent allow it. The feral cat that would visit me was in Albany and would appear randomly in our backyard. I fed and watered him whenever he came by. He was deaf and the sweetest guy, who loved rubs and to hang out on our deck. He had an extra digit on each front paw, so I dubbed him Thumbs. One day, when he visited, I noticed immediately that he had fleas on him. I gave him a bath a kiddy tub in my backyard with flea shampoo. I bought the flea comb and collar and got rid of those pesky bugs. I know he was grateful because he'd been scratching so hard, his fur was missing in some places. I am a visual artist and writer, working from home, so my weekdays are flexible. I set my own schedule working on my projects so I can easily accommodate different pet types and time slots for care. I occasionally travel to my family home in Albany, upstate New York, but I always plan that ahead of time and I am happy to board pets up there if the pet parent is open to that option. I live in a 2-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn, NYC. I am located on the 3rd (and top) floor of a walk-up building. I have a senior, female cat, who is very relaxed and sleeps most of the day. There is no outdoor space here, but there are local parks nearby, including a dog run. I also have a house upstate, in Albany, NY. There is plenty of space for running around here, including a backyard. We are currently having a fence put in and I will update this when it is installed.
About: I have a flexible work schedule and a car so can come by / stay when is needed! Happy to discuss further once booked :) I am also comfortable giving medication if need. I give updates and have lots of communication! I find when I’m away that always gives me peace of mind so will be very mindful of that.
About: From long walks to slow sniffy adventures, I’m happy to match your dog’s vibe. I’m easygoing, reliable, and love getting to know each dog’s personality. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority—and I’ll send photo updates so you can see how they’re doing along the way 🐾 Right now, I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m typically available on Fridays and throughout the weekends; sometimes I am free during the weekdays outside 9-5. If you have any questions or a specific time in mind, feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate. I always prioritize safety, trust, and respect when caring for pets in your home. I follow all instructions carefully and treat everything with care. I do this work out of genuine love for animals and always treat each pet as if they were my own. I’m easy to communicate with and quick to respond, and I can send regular photo updates if you’d like.
About: We are more than just a sitter, we are your pet’s official companion, dedicated to giving them love, attention, play, and well-being every day in a reliable way. My time is dedicated to caring for, accompanying, and playing with your puppies. I offer a flexible schedule to look after them and give them playtime whenever they need it. We provide attentive and personalized care for your pets in your home, ensuring their comfort, feeding, hygiene, play, affection, and safety, while adapting to their daily routines and needs.
About: I’m an experienced pet parent and a proud cat mom of 6 cats. Caring for multiple cats has helped me develop a strong understanding of different personalities, behaviors, and individual needs. Beyond caring for my own cats, I have provided in-home cat care for friends, including caring for two cats while they were away. I have also gained professional pet-sitting experience through another pet care platform, where I regularly care for an 8-year-old cat for a repeat client who has trusted me as her go-to sitter. My experience includes feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, grooming, medication support when needed, and providing companionship for cats with different temperaments. I understand that every cat has their own routine and personality, and I always take the time to make them feel safe and comfortable in their own home. When caring for your pets, I treat them like my own. I will provide thoughtful updates, photos, and attentive care so you can feel confident and relaxed while you’re away. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a cat mom of 6, I’m used to maintaining consistent feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring behavior, and providing daily play and companionship. Outside of caring for my own cats, I set aside dedicated time for pet sitting visits, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up, playtime, and sending updates to owners. I understand that pets feel most comfortable with consistency and routine, so I always make sure they receive reliable and attentive care. I’m able to plan my schedule around pet care needs and provide dependable visits while treating every pet with the same patience and attention I give my own. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I understand that cats especially feel safest in their own environment, so I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, litter box care, playtime, grooming, and any special needs. Before each visit, I take time to learn about the pet’s personality, habits, favorite activities, and any concerns the owner may have. During visits, I provide attentive care, spend quality time with the pet, keep their space clean, and make sure they receive plenty of patience and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away.

Siyu is wonderful! She’s very thoughtful and detail-oriented, and always makes sure everything is taken care of and in order. My two senior cats love her, which means so much to me and gives me peace of mind whenever I’m away. I really appreciate how reliable and caring she is. I’m so glad I found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great cat sitter!
My skittish shy cats were very comfortable with Kathryn, which is very unusual for them! I think this is a testament to Kathryn's patience and pet sitting skills :) Kathryn was absolutely lovely to work with and gave me thorough daily updates. She would be my first choice as a pet sitter the next time I need one.
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!
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!
We have booked Charlie to watch over our two cats twice already and will continue to do so. He is very attentive to their needs. When we returned home, their bowls were washed and spotless, the floor was swept and also spotless. He even offered to water our plants. He truly cares about your pet and we know that our cats are left in excellent hands.
Laura has been taking care of Flurry regularly for the past few weeks, and I couldn’t be happier with her care. She is thoughtful, organized, respectful, and compassionate, and I especially appreciate how much she adapts to Flurry’s individual preferences. He’s a very easily scared kitty, but Laura is incredibly patient and gentle, taking the time to build his trust drop-in by drop-in. I’m confident that he’ll continue to slowly open up to her, and Ill continue to book her services :)
Tedy is everything you're looking for in a cat sitter. She is attentive, warm and treated our cats as if they were her own! Her amazing care and excellent communications made us so happy while we were away, knowing our furbabies were in capable hands. Thank you so much Tedy! We are so lucky to have found you!
You could not ask for a better person to look after the dearest members of your household. On top of being timely, communicative, professional, and incredibly friendly, Fiona cares about animals and doing right by them to a degree that I could not have imagined. Anybody would be lucky to have Fiona watch their animals.
I recommend Dorothy who took care of my cats while I was away for five days. She came twice a day to feed them, give them fresh water and refresh their litter boxes. My cats are afraid of strangers and they hid the entire time despite her efforts to befriend them, but they’re like that with everyone. When I came home, both cats looked well and the house was clean and well cared for. Dorothy followed my instructions for feeding them and sent me detailed updates of her visits every day. I usually hate to leave my cats but I felt they were in good hands with Dorothy.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Kew Gardens is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $41 per visit.

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 .

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 , 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.

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.
