“Zoe was great! She came over for a meet and greet and rolled with the punches as I ended up getting locked out of the apartment (lol!) She was very respectful of the space and the needs of my dog! She sent pictures and updates and was comfortable getting him in and out of his crate. I will definitely be reaching out to her again to watch my dog!”

“Meghanne is wonderful! She provides excellent care for my Great Pyrenees and I never have to worry about her while I’m away. She was also great about giving her her allergy meds. It’s so good to find someone who is so dependable and provides so much love to my pup when I’m not here.”

“Jennifer is so kind and went above and beyond what our general drop-in request was. she also helped bring in mail and packages while we were gone. she kept the kittens fed and entertained. We will use her services any time she is available!!!”

“We are so pleased with Kass’s great care of our 2 kitties. She’s reliable, kind and a true pet “whisperer”. I wouldn’t hesitate a second to have her back again in the future. Thank you Kass!!!”

“This was my first time using Rover and I can safely say it won't be my last! Alison and Robert were amazing. They gave my crew the attention they needed even if that meant leaving them alone. The visit updates were much appreciated as were the pictures. They were even able to teach Toast to shake paws! Thank you so much!”

“If you want real peace of mind, Adriana is the one for you. I am a massive worry wart, and had never been away from my dog overnight before. To say I was concerned about leaving him is an understatement. Adriana knew this and provided the exact type of service I was hoping for. She treated my boy like he was her own. Followed all of my instructions to a tee, and sent me so many great pictures. She was always on time, and even took it upon herself to clean up a cut he has that breaks open occasionally. She went above and beyond and I personally will be very bummed if she’s not available when I need her in the future. She’s that good! I don’t want to have to use anyone else besides her and I know my dog Chase would echo that sentiment. When you love your pet as much as I do (if you’re reading this, you must) knowing you have someone like Adriana looking after them is the ultimate peace of mind. Thank you again Adriana!!”

“Thank you Bekki for taking care of our senior and fragile pets while we were away. It was our 1st time having to leave them behind while we traveled, but in their current conditions we think the trip would have been too much for them. We're sure it wasn't easy to interrupt your day so many times to run over for the 'drop-ins,' so we think we were lucky to have found you. It was reassuring to see the pictures you sent for each visit, thank you for them as well. Pepper, Twinkie and Gracie.”
“Kilie is the best! I am always anxious about leaving my cat alone when I’m out of town, but she alleviates that anxiety with lots of pictures and updates of my kitty. She is always prompt, and my Telly absolutely loves her. She takes the time to snuggle with him and play with him, which is essential since he is very people-oriented. Please book her! She’s amazing!”

“My cat felt safe interacting and snuggling up to John within minutes of first meeting him, and I think it’s because of John’s calm, intentional, gentle presence and demeanor. I couldn’t believe this is his first time cat-sitting because he was so good with my cat. He was quick to respond and was communicative throughout the visits, and asked many questions to get to know my cat’s routines and preferences. John was so polite and easygoing. He went above and beyond caring for my cat for the weekend, and this was a last minute scheduling given last minute plans. So grateful for John.”


“Chelsea is amazing!!!!! My little Boston terrier is a very anxious pup and I am always a bit nervous leaving her with people. She quickly became besties with Chelsea and I feel so as ease. Chelsea is so responsive and always accommodates my last minute needs- I can't even express how much of a relief she has brought to our lives!! Thank you Chelsea!!!!”

About: I’ve had pets since I was a child. Dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, birds - you name it. I’ve always been an animal lover and even wanted to be a veterinarian until I found out was euthanasia is. In my adolescence, I began pet sitting and volunteering with the SPCA (where we adopted all of our pets); small and big dogs, and sometimes multiple at a time. I started to experiment with training and enjoyed teaching tricks and obedience commands. When I turned 19, I inherited my family dog, Rocco, and we became best friends. My favorite memories from those years are taking him to parks and reserves across New York State. In 2025, he got sick and I learned a lot from taking care of him through the end of his life. It was important to me that he felt like a happy, special dog during his last days because he filled my life with so much joy. The day before his euthanasia, I invited everyone who knew him to celebrate his life. He was showered in presents and treats and cuddles and surrounded by humans he loved. Animals share such unique bonds with us. Now, I am looking for opportunities to share my love of animals through Rover. I hope you consider me as your next pet sitter. I am available! My best times are evenings and weekends, with sporadic availability midday during the week. I work 8-4 Monday through Thursday at a local farm collective in Kirkville and a community garden in South Syracuse. In my free time, I enjoy making art in all kinds of media and being outside. I am looking to spend my time with animals and make their lives happy and bright! Trust and safety is my utmost priority. Through many years of being around different animals, I learned the important of an initial bond based in trust and respect. I hold myself with strength and create an energy of a safe and inviting environment. I am able to gauge an animal’s personality and demeanor, and adjust accordingly. For pets that love to play, I am always happy to bring out my goofy and fun-loving side. For more reserved companions, I enjoy taking things slow and doing calmer activities. Most of all, a pet’s joy and comfort is my number one goal!
“Amazing pet sitter! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my baby. I got regular updates and could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”

“Christopher was very professional. He took great care of my Kitty. He communicated with me regularly with updates , questions and photos. He did a great job. He played with her and gave her lots of attention.”

“Was great with our dogs and seemed to love her. Came right on time every day and went above and beyond with cleaning up their accidents and tiring them out on their walks and letting us know of any issues or needs. Will use again in the future”

“I would highly recommend Kirsten as a pet sitter. She visited my home twice a day for nine days with zero problems. She always provided several pictures and detailed notes for each visit, and I could see both of my cats were comfortable and happy when she was there. She was able to administer medicine and kept litter boxes and feeding areas clean. I had been concerned about leaving my cats for so long but Kirsten alleviated any worries I had. Thank you so much for your services Kirsten!l”
About: I started pet sitting for neighbors when I was 16 years old and have been pet sitting for over 10 years! I was raised with every animal under the sun and have so much empathy and love when it comes to animals. I had an active profile on Rover for several years and am now getting back on to reconnect with past clients and make new connections! I love staying in communication and sending photos of your pets to give you that peace of mind. It’s my goal to make sure you’re 100% confident and comfortable and know your pets are in the best hands. ❤️ I work full time but I am available in the evenings and weekends for walks and drop in visits. I am also available for house sitting and staying with your pets and making sure they get all of their care before and after my day job. I like to make sure my clients provide me with any and all information regarding the care of their pets. I will make sure to come in and do exactly as instructed to ensure my client, the pets, and myself are all well informed and comfortable.
About: I've been a dog owner and lover my whole life, and I've cared for dogs of all ages — from wiggly puppies to sweet senior babies who just need a little extra patience and TLC. I have hands-on experience with small breeds and understand that little dogs often have big personalities and specific needs. My home is calm, safe, and welcoming — no chaos, no stress. I've also cared for dogs with special needs, so I'm comfortable with medications, mobility issues, or anything that requires a little more attentiveness. When your dog is with me, they're not just being "watched" — they're being cared for like they belong here I work from home in a calm environment. I have two cats that are very well behaved and one dog who is a little crazy. She is deaf with some separation anxiety and OCD, but she is such a little sweetheart. I spend all day waiting on these guys hand and foot, what’s one or two more? 😊 My sweet, friendly dog will keep yours company all day long. I live on a cul-de-sac and we take several walks throughout the day.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 315 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Kirkville. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kirkville. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
