“Erin took excellent care of my cats while I was away. She sent me daily pictures and updates, played with the kitties, refilled their water, and cleaned their litterboxes. My cats absolutely love her! She’s reliable and communicates well. I highly recommend her!”


“Addison is an amazing dog/cat sitter. He is attentive, professional, kind and responsible. i highly recommend him and know that your pets (both dogs and cats) and your home will be treated with care and respect. I have used Addison both for drop in visits and dog/cat sitting at my house for over a week and am thrilled to have found him. Addison goes the extra mile above the long instruction notes I left him. He pays attention to detail (he found and removed a tic on my dog) and communicates all that is needed without any drama. He is punctual and thoughtful and very and very kind. He checks all the boxes and more.”

“My husband and I left our three cats for five days. Carina did a famous job of taking care of them! They made sure that our babies had food, water, excise, and clean litter boxes while we were away. Every time Carina came over they took the cutest pictures of our cats, too! They were very communicative with us the whole time we were traveling. They told us when they came and would provide a written update every time they visited! When we came back from our trip our cats were calm and happy. When we go away in the future, we will be booking with Carina again! They were flexible, kind, friendly, and attentive to our cats needs. All and all it was a great experience and we felt confident in leaving our cats in Carina hands.”


“Cassidy did a wonderful job caring for our cat Loca and our saltwater fish, she’s a good communicator covered all the bases She hung out with Loca and read her book, kept the place tidy and even fed the wild birds. She’s dependable, polite and super caring. Loved working with her!!”


“This is the second time we had Jill take care of our kitties whilst traveling. As expected, she did a wonderful job caring for them (just as she did the first time) over the course of the week - could not be any happier with having her as their caretaker. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a petsitter!”

About: I’m a current veterinary student with over 10 years of hands on animal care experience, including working in veterinary medicine in Arizona. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, and medical needs, and I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring for health concerns, and supporting both puppies and senior pets. I also have two dogs of my own a senior dog and a high-energy Australian Shepherd so I understand the patience, structure, and attention different pets need. Whether your dog loves slow, relaxed walks or needs lots of activity and stimulation, I’ve got it covered. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize both their safety and happiness, so you can feel confident they’re in knowledgeable and caring hands I’m a veterinary student with hands on animal care experience, so my availability varies depending on classes during the semesters. Besides classes and attending to my own pets, we can discuss flexible scheduling. Please reach out prior as my calendar may not always reflect my availability.

I understand pet behavior and body language, so I can respond calmly and appropriately in any situation. I focus on creating a secure and stress-free experience for every pet. While I’m not offering overnight stays at this time, every walk and visit is designed to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they deserve, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away.
“Keira did a great job taking care of Suki. She was super conscientious and thought about the little things, such as closing my window when rain was forecasted. She seemed to genuinely care about making sure Suki was well taken care of, and left me feeling worry free.”

“Marissa is an absolute excellent choice for petsitting. I highly recommend her. She is patient, knowledgeable, and helpful. I had never left my cats alone before and after my experience with her, I felt relieved and reassured everything was going just fine. My cat needs special meal attention and she was able to accommodate him beautifully. She gave me detailed information on what was going on as well as pictures and videos. I will 100% use her in the future! She was amazing!”

About: Hello pet parents! Do we like that term? It's either that or owners, which feels worse! I'm Reena, a single woman in my late 30s from Melbourne, Australia. I'm also a journalist with a love for writing about movies and TV (which I do part-time). I've come to Rover from Trusted Housesitters, where I netted five-star reviews and some lovely new furry pals. I enjoy petsitting because I genuinely feel a sense of connection and empathy towards cats and dogs. Even if I walk a dog just one time, I'll go out of my way to make sure they feel safe and loved. I’ve been sitting cats and dogs for about 3 years, both in Melbourne and NYC. Oh, and I do especially well with anxious cats. I’ve been told that so have the type of tranquil energy that keeps them comfortable and at ease. I’ve also administered a variety of medicines to animals, including stomach meds hidden inside a pill pocket, liquid antibiotics measured via a syringe, and blood pressure meds. I also recently administered daily ringworm medication to an older cat: his lesions resolved completely under my care, which was great. I also love looking after dogs and in particular have cared for many poodle mixes. 🐩 I love taking them on walks (I can walk two at a time) and paying visits to the dog park, regardless of if you have a high-energy dog with a fetch addiction or a more low-key fellow who prefers to saunter and sniff. I’ve also looked after puppies and trained them on basic drills and commands. Many treats were provided in exchange for their sacrifice, and cute faces, of course! I promise: your pets are 100% my priority. I’m not the type of sitter who will leave your fur children on their own for long stretches of time. I will be there for your pets so that they know they’re safe and loved! About my routine: I’m presently a journalist doing casual weekend work, but that work is done from home. At other times, I’m pitching and/or job hunting. This means I have a ton of time to spend with your babies, which is especially useful if your pets get separation anxiety. I love to play with animals and will make sure they’re getting balanced days, filled with play, pats, rest, relaxation, grooming, and of course, their daily food and water! I love sitting for pets in their own homes, as I find that animals, especially cats, are happier and more open to new people while safety situated in the environment that they know and love. This also saves you the hassle of having to transport your pets elsewhere: I will come to you!

Danielle was amazing with my cat while I was on my 10-day trip. My cat loved her, and I could tell her was upset when it was me and not her when I walked in the door!! She even brought over special treats for him. She left my apartment clean and well taken care for as well which I really appreciated. I am so happy to know I have Danielle for my next trip- I know my cat is looking forward to seeing her again!

Ashley did a great job taking care of my two kitties for the week while I was on vacation with my family. She was extremely communicative, followed all directions and provided photos to help me feel better about being away from my babies for the week. Highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 12,322 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Locust Valley. 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 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 Meet & Greet.

- 83% 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 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. 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.
