Sophia is the best! Prompt communication, timely arrival, no confusion. She gave Rizzo the best possible care and made me feel at ease. 10/10, would definitely recommend.

About: Hey, I’m Janelle. Some people call me Nelly. I’ve grown up around all types of dogs my whole life and love being around them. I just want to be an extra hand for anyone who needs someone reliable to watch or walk their pups.I really love being active and getting outside, so I'm always down to take your dogs out for a good walk or run to keep them entertained and get their energy out. I'm also totally happy to just hang out on the couch, brush them out, or give them some good belly rubs if they're more of a couch potato.I'll treat your dogs like they're my own. Let me know if you need any help! I’m currently working part-time and from home, so I have a flexible schedule that can work around yours if needed. I have zero responsibilities besides myself and others that I care about, and your pet can easily be another. Whether you need a midday check-in, a quick walk, or someone to hang out with them while you're at work, I have plenty of open windows to make it happen. I only watch pets at the client’s house, I don’t do any boarding at my own place. When I’m at your house, I just focus on keeping your pet’s routine exactly how they like it so they don't get stressed out. I'm always super careful about keeping doors locked and making sure no quick cats or dogs try to slip out past me. I'll follow whatever instructions you leave for food, walks, or medicine, and I’ll send you updates and pictures so you know everything is good.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kathy is truly amazing, and we feel so lucky to have found her! We have four dogs, which is definitely a lot to take on, but Kathy handles them all with so much patience, care, and love. From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable trusting her with not only our dogs, but our home as well. She consistently goes above and beyond what we could ever expect from a pet sitter. She is incredibly reliable, attentive, and genuinely cares about each of our dogs like they are her own. Having four dogs means four different personalities and needs, and Kathy takes the time to make sure every one of them is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. One of the best parts is the peace of mind she gives us when we’re away. We never have to worry about whether the dogs are okay or being taken care of — we know they are in wonderful hands with Kathy. That kind of trust is priceless when it comes to your pets. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, caring, trustworthy, and willing to go the extra mile, Kathy is absolutely the person you want. We cannot recommend her enough! ❤️🐾

Catherine was amazing with our pets! She truly has a heart for fur babies and goes above and beyond to serve her clients. She was super responsive, helpful when there were some hiccups, and humbly took great care of our whole zoo. I will absolutely trust her & her husband with any sitting going forward, we couldn’t be more happy.

Giana was fantastic! This was my first time using Rover and it was a last minute request, but she made the whole process smooth and easy. She even offered a meet and greet, and Malvin took to her immediately. Giana was incredibly attentive to Malvin, sent regular picture updates, and responded to my messages quickly. I highly recommend her to watch your fur baby and will definitely reach out to her again the next time I go away!

About: I've always been such a huge animal lover and always took care of my own cats, dogs, guinea pigs and birds. I used to watch my family members pets when they would go away and feed them per special instructions and stayed with them as long as I could so they were never lonely. I work full time now but I make my own schedule! I'll be able to be reliable and work around the needs of anyone's babies! In my clients home I always have respect and take care of not only the pets but the home and property when I'm there always.

Emily was so great with our two puppies! They are both very excited boys (1.5 yrs & 7 mths). Emily took pictures which clearly showed how happy they were. I had ZERO worries about how they were treated. When we returned home they kept bringing us their toys to play. It showed me they played all weekend :) She even added a visit on to her stay last minute with no issues! We will definitely be using her again!

About: I’m new on this platform, so I don't have any reviews yet, but I'm looking forward to the opportunity to care for your precious fur baby. I've always loved animals and grew up surrounded by pets. My parents bred Pomeranians, and as a teen I had a Sheltie who I absolutely adored. Over the years, I’ve cared for friends’, coworkers’, and even my boss’s pets while they were away, making sure they stayed on schedule with meals, exercise, and attention. Last year, I took a sabbatical during which I traveled the country largely through pet sitting. During that experience, I cared for a wide variety of pets—from young, energetic pets to seniors, and from energetic Border Collies and Newfiedoodles to independent outdoor Calico cats and affectionate indoor Russian Blues. I loved and cared for each of them as if they were my own. I’m attentive to established routines and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I understand how important peace of mind is while you’re away, so I’m always happy to provide regular updates and photos. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, well cared for, and loved while you’re away. Since I work full time, my availability is primarily evenings and weekends for dog walks and drop-ins. I can also assist with morning cat feedings on my way to work when timing and location allow. I’m open to weekend house sitting with advance notice and aim to provide consistent, reliable care for every pet. I genuinely enjoy forming bonds with animals and creating a calm, consistent environment for them while their owners are away. To me, this means closely following their established feeding, exercise, and play routines while also giving them plenty of care and affection. As someone who is dependable and detail-oriented, I treat every pet and home with the same respect and attentiveness I would my own. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible.

Amanda took amazing care of all of my animals. I am so grateful that she treated them as if they were her own. Nothing eased my mind better than knowing this while away in another country. Daily updates & photos were eagerly awaited by my daughter, especially. We highly recommend her for watching your fur babies.

About: Hi, I’m Benjamin! Animals have been part of my life for over 5 years, and caring for them is second nature to me. I grew up surrounded by pets and even worked at a dog kennel in my hometown during my teens, where I learned the ins and outs of handling pups of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your furry friend cozy and safe, I bring patience, reliability, and genuine love to every visit. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet, and I treat every animal like family. From dachshunds (my own weiner dogs!) to big goofy retrievers, I’ve got the experience and the heart to make tails wag and owners feel at ease. Caring for pets is woven into my everyday life. I start my mornings with walks and playtime for my own dachshunds, so adding another furry friend to the mix feels natural. Throughout the day, I build in time for feeding, exercise, and check‑ins — whether that’s a quick cuddle break or a longer adventure outside. Because I’ve owned pets for over 5 years and worked at a dog kennel in my teens, I’m used to balancing schedules and adapting to different temperaments. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in; it’s part of the rhythm of my day. Your pet’s needs — from meals to belly rubs — fit seamlessly into my routine, ensuring they get consistent attention and love. Got it — focusing only on pet care in clients’ homes makes your profile crystal clear. Here’s a polished draft you can use: --- 🐾 Caring for Pets in Clients’ Homes I feel confident and happy caring for pets in their own homes, where they’re most comfortable. I respect each household’s routines and rules, making sure feeding, walks, playtime, and affection match what your pet is used to. Your pet stays relaxed in familiar surroundings, and you get peace of mind knowing they’re cared for like family.

About: I've taken care of multiple dogs and cats in my neighborhood. I watch dogs for my family and friends when they go away. I walk, feed, and play with their pets. I work part time, three days a week until 4 pm. I can walk dogs after work or any other day. I am available on the weekends. I currently do not accept boarding requests. When I am caring for dogs in their home I give them lots of love and attention and play. I take them on walks as needed or determined by their physical abilities. I am attentive and here to give your pet companionship!

Ahhhh, she did such an incredible job 😊 was extremely comfortable with her watching my animals, and genuinely, didn’t worry that one of them would get lost which really scared me at first. She updated me every day and let me send her billions of pictures and messages and didn’t get annoyed which helped.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Middle Island on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,222 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Middle 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 Middle Island. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
