“Ashley has been absolutely amazing for the past 2 weeks for drop-in visits. From the meet and greet till the end of week 2, she's been great with communication and always keeps me informed about Cleo. I was super anxious leaving Cleo alone while I traveled for work but Ashley made it so much better, came back home to a very happy kitty every time. Now I'm a lot less stressed out leaving Cleo home while I'm gone for work. 10/10 would recommend ☺️”
About: Since I was born I was surrounded by dogs. I moved to the Syracuse and my dogs stayed home so I have a lot of attention to give Half of the week I work from home so I can be with the dog. We’ll have lots of play time. The dog will not miss you. Just kidding! But I will me give my heart out. I know how it is to trust someone else with your fur baby, so I’ll do everything I can to make everyone feel safe. I live in an apartment. We’ll go for walks in downtown or a park. Every recommendation taken (food, medicine , toys , etc) just let me know
“Picked up my check-in request on short notice and met up the next day to go over everything and get the key. Was communicative and made sure my 9 month old cat got through the few days I was gone. Stinky Pete approved”
“Kristin was thoughtful and gave me cute updates with pictures everyday! She took great care of my cat and always made sure she was well-fed and had fresh water. My cat also loved her! I would trust her to take care of my cat anytime I need.”
“Jamie was such a wonderful friend to my sweet dog, Bernice. This was Bernices first time home alone for such a long stretch. And Jamie really went out of her way to comfort her. And she managed to get Bernice outside and playing. Jamie is truly the best!”
“Zula provided a safe and comfy refuge for Jacques while I was away on vacation for a week. Jacques was initially stressed on first night but next day Jacques was at ease and happy.”
“Neesi’s had a second stay with Alison and Rob and it went incredibly well. She was a bit nervous again at first but then really settled in, became bff’s in the first few days. Alison and Rob went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and spoiled. Really cool people, I’m so grateful to have found them.”
“Alyssa did a wonderful job with Chicken!! -- especially given her special needs. I appreciate the communication and pictures/videos that Alyssa sent. Given that Chicken is an older cat and has some vision issues, it was nice to know that she was well taken care of. Thank you Alyssa!!!”
About: Since 2014, I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for family, friends, and neighbors. I’ve stayed at other’s houses and have had the pets stay at mine too. I love animals and spending time with them. I had a dog of my own who passed in 2024, and was his primary caretaker. I’ve also nannied human kids aged 8-11 for 3 years. When spending time with pets I am there to be with them and love to play, go for walks, n provide them with proper stimulation and care. I've cared for a dog that would get seizures and provided her with medication and support while she was having them. I've cared for puppies and worked on both crate and potty training with them. I've also cared for older pups that needed a bit more relaxing time or special attention if they were blind or sick. I hope you find me trustworthy to take care of your loved ones, as I will treat them as one of my own. I work from home and own a business, so am fairly flexible with time. I can work around a client’s schedule and accommodate for their pets’ needs. Currently I am available for visits. So, I can go to a clients home and be with the pet there or take them out for walks and excursions. I hope to eventually be able to provide care for dogs in my own home.
“Ciarra did a great job taking care of Cleo!! She responded right away after our Rover request. Ciarra did drop ins for our elderly cat that needed medications while we were on vacation. We appreciated her willingness to provide the meds for our beloved Cleopatra. Ciarra is sweet, professional and efficient. Would recommend her for a trusted animal caretaker.”
“I'm so happy we chose Sophia to care for our kitties! She is communicative, responsible, and very caring when interacting with our pets. I appreciated the daily videos, photos, and updates she always provided. I will definitely use her again next time I am on vacation.”
About: I’m an animal lover! I have 3 fur babies of my own, a malamute and pomskys! I would love to help you and your furbaby out anytime, and treat each dog as my own. I am available for walks, in home visits and overnights. I can send you pics of your pups while you’re out of town, or we can even FaceTime. Whatever makeyou feel comfortable! I also do cold laser therapy (fda approved for pain, inflammation , arthritis, injuries ) for dogs, cats and horses! I am constantly driving all over Syracuse, so don’t let my location bother you! From Camillus, to Cicero and Jamesville, No location is really out of my way! I hope to hear from you soon , help you out and meet your awesome fur babies!
“The best cat sitter! Gave our kitties their needed medicine, took pictures of all the cars each day, and kept me posted. Very professional. Highly recommend!”
“Kiera was awesome at facilitating Zadi’s first experience with a dog and made boarding for the first time so stress-free. Thank you for your flexibility and I’m so glad to have another option in case I’m ever in a situation where I need to board again.”
“Meghan handled the visits and my cats excellently. I came home to two contented cats and knowing I was coming back at the end of the evening, Meghan cleaned up so I wouldn't have to. What a wonderful surprise. I was so grateful. I will ask her again to visit my cats.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 312 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Marcellus. 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Marcellus. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
