“Linda provided excellent care for my cat while I was away and was very good about sending photos and videos. I will definitely hire Linda again to check in on my cat.”
About: I have taken care of several breeds of dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them, and do not remember a time I haven’t had at least one. I am always the go to person for friends and family when they go out of town. My flexible part-time schedule gives me extra time to shower your fur baby with love, playtime, cuddles, and attentive care. Morning or night I will make sure they get the love and attention they deserve. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for every pet in my care. I have a securely fenced yard for supervised play and two friendly dogs for socialization when appropriate. I’m happy to crate your dog if requested, follow their normal routine, and provide plenty of exercise, cuddles, and one-on-one attention to help them feel right at home.
About: On my 13th birthday I got a puppy and I have been an avid dog lover since. I house-trained him, stayed up with him when he was crying, and taught him lots of tricks! Since then, I have always had some sort of animal in my house, whether it be a dog, cat, or hedgehog! Due to my known love for ALL critters, I have been a dependable pet sitter for many folks throughout the years. Whether it be friends, extended family, or even friends of a friend - I have been trusted to love and care for many animals. *IMPORTANT NOTE* Right now I am only booking house-sitting gigs where I can bring my senior chihuahua with me. When you send me a message, let me know what works for you so that we may set up a meet & greet! I primarily dogsit and have a supplemental part-time job. This flexibility allows me to work with you and your pet to make sure they are getting the maximum amount of attention and love. I will love your pet like my own. I like to send daily updates with photos to not only quell your worries, but so that you can see your creature is doing well. I WILL be prioritizing jobs where I can bring my dog with me. I understand in some circumstances, it will not be a good fit for her to come with me, which is understandable.
About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs most of my life and truly love it. Friends, family, and neighbors rely on me to help with walking, feeding, and spending quality time with their pets. I’m dependable, patient, and pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs. Whether your dog loves to play or just wants cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I'm available for house sitting /boarding on weekends and weeknights after 2PM with some flexibility depending on your needs. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will get lots of love, playtime, and care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized dogs to keep your pet company. I always supervise interactions and can separate or crate dogs if needed to ensure everyone feels safe. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly so your dog feels comfortable and cared for.
“Brittney was awesome again! This is the second time we have had her take care of our cats while on vacation. She makes sure on each visit to clean boxes, refill food/water bowls and give one of them medication. Brittney is very dependable and I would highly recommend her for your pets.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! I grew up with three dogs and now live with three cats—one’s mine, and the other two are my siblings’ (but they basically think I’m in charge 😎). I’ve helped care for pets of friends, family, and neighbors over the years, including walking dogs, feeding, playtime, and even overnight stays. I also completed an internship at Prince George’s Animal Shelter, where I got hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all personalities and needs. From playful pups to shy senior pets, I know how to adjust and make each one feel loved and safe. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, feedings, or giving meds, I’ve got it covered! Taking care of animals is already part of my everyday life—I live with three cats, so feeding, cleaning, cuddling, and making sure everyone’s happy is part of the routine. I work just five minutes away from home, which makes it super easy for me to pop in for check-ins, walks, or drop-in visits throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning, midday, or evening care, I can usually make it work without stress. Pet care just fits naturally into my schedule—I love it and honestly wouldn’t have it any other way! Whether your pet is staying at my home or I’m coming to yours, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved—like part of the family. At my house, I have space (fenced yard, catio, and nearby park) for your dog or cat to relax, play, and feel at home, plus I follow their usual routines (meals, potty breaks, meds, etc.) to help them settle in with less stress. My pets are friendly and used to having furry guests around! If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely and keep things just how they’re used to—whether that’s specific feeding times, favorite toys, walks, or just being there for company. I always give updates and photos so you know your pet is in good hands while you’re away.
“This is the second time I’ve had Lorren watch my cat and she’s amazing with her. She is one of the few people I trust to watch her. She is very communicative and she sends lots of check in pictures and videos!”
About: Retired Air Force military veteran with a lot of time in their hands. A trusted friend and coworker in case they needed help with their dog. Retired military with plenty of time in their hands. Willing to discuss any type of routine to help accommodate your pets or best friends needs I am willing to meet with the pet owner / caretaker ahead of time to assess the trustworthiness of me and the owners pet before bookong.
About: While I don’t have professional pet care experience yet, I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and more in my own home as well as for family. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, cleaning up after, and spending quality time with animals. I’m responsible, gentle, and treat every pet like family. As a Resident Assistant, I have a flexible yet busy schedule, but I always make time for pet care! I’m available most evenings and weekends for drop-ins, walks, or boarding. I don’t have pets at home, so your dog will get my full attention. I’m careful on walks, stick to safe routes, and always follow your care instructions.
“My fur baby loved Rachel! I had her come do drop ins at my house while I was on vacation. She sent me lots of pics and videos while I was away & she took care of locking my house back up and kept everything just how I left it. Definitely recommend! It’s hard to trust a stranger with your pet(s) but I will definitely be booking Rachel again.”
About: I have very energetic pups who love to run and play outside I also have a senior dog who takes medicine every morning after potty I am a stay at home wife with plenty of time on her hands so I am available pretty often and would love to help. I love to spoil the animals and will even bring them toys and treats. I have a fenced in yard so I'm good at making sure gates are closed and there are no holes around the bottom for eacape
“Callie was absolutely wonderful! She sent plenty of photos of my pets and kept great communication the whole time. It’s clear she truly loves and cares for animals, which gave me so much peace of mind.”

About: Hi! I am an animal lover through and through.

I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, & so much more. I am very versatile! I have 2 cats at my apartment with me & they are used to dogs. I’ve trained my youngest dogs and have had Vizsla’s all my life, but have been around and/or lived with various other breeds throughout my years. I love any & all pets & understand how important it is that they are well taken care of while you are away. I am also familiar with unique animals, such as, chickens, hedgehogs, fish, and more! Rest assured knowing your furry family is safe & loved while you are away! My schedule is flexible & allows me autonomy to take care of your pets! I’m currently working part time in the evenings so I have plenty of time on my hands to hangout with your furry friend(s)! I love walking, playing fetch, & cuddling with dogs & cats. I can also bathe, brush, feed, etc. I will make sure your pets are safe & comfortable in the environment they are in. I won’t put them in a situation they or I am uncomfortable with. Your animals mental & physical wellbeing comes first!

About: I grew up around all types of pets, from dogs to birds to lizards to cats. For as long as I've known, I've fed bearded dragons crickets and ran alongside happy pups. I absolutely love animals, and am happy and willing to work within any routines and structures pre-set for your pets. As a recent college graduate, my time is very flexible - I'm available for whenever you need me. I'm dedicated to clear and open communication about my time. Providing you and your pet with the least stressful pet care experience possible is my goal. I'd love to meet your pet, learn their routines, quirks, and learn anything that's required for their care and your peace of mind.
About: I love animals and now that I live in an apartment, I miss having a pet! There are plenty of dogs roaming around the building, and I say hi to every one of them. I would love to hang out with your cat or dog! I’m a 39 year old mom and preschool teacher, so caring for littles comes natural to me. I have plenty of experience both in pet sitting and in life! If this tells you anything, when I’m at a party, you can find me with the pets. Pick me to check on your fur babies! I am a stay at home parent with an in-home preschool. The preschool is open Tuesday-Friday mornings, and my kid has childcare Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, so those afternoons are free for me. Pets tend to love me and I’m patient with those animals that are shy. I am very excited to hang out with some cats and dogs in my free time!
About: My parents have been breeding dogs for years now. As a child of the household, it was my responsibility to feed, walk, and do any other necessary tasks to care for the 15 dogs my parents own when it was my turn to do so. I also had one dog specifically of my own, which I have owned and cared for a total of seven years. I am now living independently, ready to care for others. I currently work Mondays through Fridays from around 8:00am to 5:00pm in Omaha, Nebraska. I am available any other day, and I am flexible. I live in Omaha, NE, but I can drive wherever necessary. I live in Dundee. It's a mostly quiet and green area. I see other owners and their pets quite often here, but it is easy to avoid them while still spending a good amount of time outside if your little one is a bit more on the anti-social side. I am very respectful and watchful of others' pets as well as any under my wing.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 463 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Mineola. 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 Mineola. On Rover:
- 95% 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 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.
