“Caitlin was the best cat sitter we could have hoped for!! Kind, thoughtful, responsible, caring, and went above and beyond to accommodate our travel plans. Our cat was on vacation just as much as we were! 11/10!!”
“Lena is great- quick to respond, very respectful. She has dropped in for walks on several occasions while we're away, and we always come home to a happy, healthy pup!”
About: Hello! My name is Sam and I am a life-long animal lover and pet owner. As you might have noticed from my photos I love all types of critters and I've never met an animal I didn't like. From creepy crawlies to furry friends, I'm here for any and every animal that comes my way! I am an experienced sitter and have been watching, walking, and caring for pets of friends, family, and clients for well over a decade. I am a responsible & professional adult with many positive reviews so you can rest assured your baby will be in capable hands. I am very familiar with Rover and have a lot of experience meeting new families and learning new routines quickly. I treat all pets I care for like my own and will be more than happy to let them share my personal space while they wait for you to come home! I also love to take photos of animals so your pet will be my model on our walks. :) While I hold a full time day job as an Outdoor Educator for a local nonprofit, I am looking to supplement my income by filling some of my extra time caring for the pets in my community. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes, breeds, and species and love meeting new people. I am happy to work with locals and visitors alike and can meet folks wherever works best for you & your pet whether that be your home, local parks/hiking trails, rentals, or restaurants. So if you're in the Tri-Lake area I'd love to meet you and your pets! Please feel free to reach out with any questions - thank you for checking out my profile and considering me for your pet sitting needs! 🐸 I work full time for a nonprofit in the High Peaks with a varying schedule between 5am and 7 pm Wednesday - Sunday. I will often available for walks and drop ins visits during evening hours (mostly between 4pm and 11pm) with some daytime & morning availability depending on my schedule that week. For overnight sitting I am available for 2 days a week maximum on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. I have some flexibility so if you think we would be a good fit go ahead and send me a message and we might be able to work something out. Providing a trustworthy & relaxed experience is very important to me. As a pet parent myself I know how hard it is to leave your baby in the care of a stranger so I want to make sure I do what I can to ease any anxieties and make this a chill process you and your pet. To make sure this goal is met I ask for open communication about pet behaviors and clear expectations about the care I will provide. I have a lot of experience working and staying in other people's homes and know how to respect your space like it is my own. If any pet accidents occur under my watch I will not hesitate to clean them up in a timely manner and I always make sure I leave a home exactly as I found it. To keep your pets & belongings safe I always double check locks and make sure I have eyes on your pet before I leave. I have experience with escape artist pups & cats so I am good about making sure I open and close with care. I am serious about keeping your pets safe and providing a professional experience whether I am staying over night or just stopping. As mentioned in my bio I have over a decade of professional experience working with families to provide in home pet and child care so you can trust that your pet and house are in safe hands.
About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds, from cats to cows! I love animals of all kinds and am excited to meet yours! I am currently working a few jobs part time, so I will be able to provide attentive care for most of the work week and weekend. I have an unfenced yard and a park right in front of my house. The neighborhood is great for walks. My home is large and I am comfortable staying in clients homes.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 18 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lake Placid. 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
