Natalie has been wonderful every time she has watched my babies. My cat is always waiting at the door for her so he has someone to play with. She takes plenty of pictures and is great at communicating. I would definitely recommend her.

Ashley is amazing. Reliable, responsive, flexible, trustworthy and incredibly kind. She did drop in visits for us for a week while we were away and sent us updates, pictures and videos and made us feel so comfortable knowing our girls were being cared for. Will definitely book with her again!

About: I grew up surrounded by animals and have cared for dogs, cats, and even bunnies throughout my life. I worked with dogs with all types of personalities at a dog daycare. I played with them, fed them and cleaned their kennels. I volunteered with guide-dog organizations, helping socialize puppies in training, and I’ve looked after pets of all ages and needs. I also cared for my own senior dog when she had cancer, giving her daily medicine and making sure she felt comfortable and loved. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I’m very flexible and make time each day for check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I plan my schedule around my visits so each pet gets consistent, reliable care. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by following their normal routines and any instructions you provide. I take care to keep doors secure, clean up after them, and monitor their behavior closely. I treat every home with respect and every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I give my own.

About: As a dog trainer, daycare provider, and dog mom myself, I know every dog is different and deserves care tailored to their individual personality, comfort level, and needs. Whether your dog loves to play all day, prefers a calm environment, needs extra structure, or simply wants a cozy place to relax, my goal is always to create a safe, enriching, and low-stress experience. I focus heavily on: • structured play & socialization • engagement & enrichment • clear communication • safe dog handling • individualized care Your dog deserves more than just a place to stay. They deserve to feel understood, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away 🫶 Dog care is my full-time career. As a professional dog trainer and daycare provider, my daily routine revolves around the dogs in my care. Each day includes supervised play, enrichment activities, potty breaks, structured rest periods, feeding routines, and individual attention based on each dog's needs. Because I work from home with dogs, guests are rarely left alone and are actively monitored throughout the day. Whether your dog enjoys adventure, social time, training games, or simply relaxing in a comfortable environment, I strive to provide a safe and enriching experience from drop-off to pick-up. Safety is my top priority. I am a professional dog trainer with experience managing dogs of different ages, temperaments, and play styles. All dogs are carefully introduced, supervised, and matched appropriately. I use crates, gates, leashes, and rotations when needed to create a safe and low-stress environment for everyone. My home includes dedicated dog spaces for play, enrichment, rest, and safe separation when appropriate. Dogs are never expected to "work it out" on their own and are actively supervised during interactions. Cleanliness is also a major priority. Dog areas are routinely cleaned and disinfected using pet-safe products, and I maintain strict sanitation practices between guests. I take time to learn each dog's personality, preferences, and comfort level so I can provide individualized care rather than a one-size-fits-all experience.

About: Hi! I am Kaitlyn! A Loving and dependable pet sitter experienced with dogs, cats (including seniors), and bunnies. I provide attentive, compassionate care and treat every pet like family. I have 2 dogs that live with me. They have lived with my family and i for the past 12 years. I am their primary caretaker, which requires me to do everything with them, walking them, feeding them administering medicine and of course, we cannot forget play playtime. In my home one of our senior dogs has diabetes and I have to give him insulin shots. Also he has to be taken out every 30 mins to a hour. In the past I have dog sat blind and deaf dogs so i have experience with that as well.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Long Island

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Long Island on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,647 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Long Island. 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 Long Island. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
