“Jennifer did a great job with my two senior kitties who, while social, are not used to being taken care of by strangers. My shyer cat immediately took a liking to her, and I came home to two calm cats simply happy to see me -- no cat-grudges to be had. Jennifer was quick with communication, and reached out to let me know when my dry-food auto feeders were being wonky, even though I told her she didn't have to worry about the dry food. Overall, a great experience!”
About: Hello! I’ve been in the pet care industry for 3 years professionally, and almost my whole life personally through friends and family. I’m an animal lover, and I’m ready to meet some new friends! I used to service dogs in East Midtown and have experience with many breeds and temperaments. I also own cats and have worked professionally as a cat sitter in Chelsea/Downtown. I recently moved to the area and can offer walks, sittings, and boarding. We can set up a free meet and greet to see how we can work together to help your companion thrive. I work 10am through 6pm Monday-Friday for walks, extra charge for anything outside of that time frame and weekends/holidays. Inquire about sittings/boardings. Safety is always my priority when it comes to any sort of service. I follow any given instructions and communicate with the parents if I have any questions/concerns. I’m also CPR certified.
“Elisa was a wonderful sitter for our two kitties. I greatly appreciated the extra effort she took to work with us when our schedule changed due to bad weather. And I know Jack enjoyed getting a little play time!”
“Kristine is amazing! She took great care of our cat which made our time away not stressful. You could tell that Kristine loves cats and is super competent. and we knew our cat was In good hands. We would definitely use Kristine again.”
“Ana did a great job taking care of our kitties, even though they are super shy and hid most of the time. She went above and beyond looking for them and making sure they were safe! Absolutely will ask for her help again in the future.”
About: I’ve had welcomed my first pet ever when I was 10 years old , then in 2012 I’ve have welcome another fur baby to the family . Being around my own personal pets made me love doing dog sitting a lot more so starting in 2013 I’ve decided to volunteer and also become employed with the services of onboarding , dog walking , etc . I love doing my job when it comes to pets because I think of them as my own. I am currently working Monday - Friday but my schedule is also very flexible. I am free on the weekends if services are needed as well. When caring for your pets in your home or my home they are well taken care of between any medications, a routine that they follow I will make sure that while your away they will be left in great hands .
“Karen is the best. She’s very reliable and responsible. I trust her completely in my home and with my two cats. Both of my cats are very picky and don’t like most people, but they both love Karen. I recommend her to anyone with pet sitting needs.”
About: For many years I’ve looked after my family’s pets, I’ve had 3 dogs and 3 cats whom lived long and pampered lives. Neighborhood pet sitting and extended family’s trips, I was always there to look after their fur babies. I’m a full time college student with a flexible schedule looking to take care of any and all of your pets needs. Whether you want a sitter for a day or a few weeks, I can accommodate. Weekends or weekdays I can make myself available within a reasonable time slot for the occasion. Whether pets need to be crated before bed or their meals need special attention I’ll make it happen. Any specifications my client deems necessary for their furry friends is on my agenda.
“I had a wonderful experience with Lori and would absolutely recommend her as a pet sitter! I booked her for the first time to take care of my 1yo kitten over a long weekend. Lori was very communicative and set up a meet-and-greet before the booking, which immediately made me feel comfortable. She is friendly, personable, and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. She was punctual for every visit and did her best to send pictures and updates, even though my very shy boy spent most of the time hiding. My cat is not good with strangers (still being socialized), but Lori was patient and understanding, respected his boundaries, and followed all of my care instructions carefully. She truly went above and beyond by vacuuming his litter area and washing all of his dishes & serving spoons at the end of the weekend! I would definitely recommend Lori and will be coming to her the next time I need a sitter.”
“Shadow and I got lucky with this young woman! She is a great fit for shadow. He’s a big sweet boy with separation anxiety. She knew how to take charge and keep herself and him safe. We are very happy with the service she provided. And we get to see her again”
About: I originally started work at a dog daycare and transitioned to pet-care in 2023. I have two cats of my own; Lizzy and Thomas. Upon request, I can absolutely water plants and check mail if you need the extra help. I will jog with your dog! I'm able to do over-night stays and drop-ins. On my spare time, I enjoy exercising and cooking. My favorite things to make are chili and chocolate chip cookies! I lock doors and if I’m pet sitting, I take direct instructions from the owner. If I’m dog sitting- I always have double the amount of poop bags. My cell phone is always with me.
“Dream pet sitter come true ! She was punctual , thorough, and had great communication . So glad I found her and will use her going forward ! Highly recommend !”
About: Hi! My name is AJ and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a passion for caring for both dogs and cats. For over 13 years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels from playful puppies to senior companions who need a little extra patience and TLC. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet with the same love, respect, and attention I’d want for my own. I know every pet has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, so I take the time to make them feel safe and at ease while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering medication, or simply keeping them company, I always follow your instructions carefully to help maintain their normal routine. Communication is one of my top priorities. I’ll happily send updates and photos throughout each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. PLEASE reach out to me first before booking to ensure availability, thank you Saturday and Sunday open availability Please inquire about availability before booking it’s very important that me and my clients are on the same page, communication is key! I take given instructions very seriously if you give me a time that they need to be fed you best believe they will be eating at said time! I’ll make sure to give them lots of pets if they want that! And I promise not to give them too many snacks….
About: I have grown up around animals my entire life, and was often asked by neighbors and friends to watch their pets on vacation. Along with my own experiences owning several varieties of pets including cats, fish, and geckos, I also have professional experience from years working at different pet stores, which broadened my knowledge to dogs, birds, guinea pigs, and other small and exotic animals. Simply put, your pets are mine for the time they are in my care, and I will treat them with the same love and attention that I give my own because I know how much pets enrich our lives. I'm currently self-employed, so I have a flexible schedule to play and care for your pets. I am also available for overnight stays and can do general house care as well such as lights, cleaning and watering plants. I do not board, but I tailor my care based off of the care you are already providing for your pet, so there is as little change to their normal routine as possible.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Mount Vernon is $25
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Vernon
We regularly have Kristine watch our two cats. She is amazing and we are so lucky to have a caring person come take care of them when we need it. She regularly leaves notes upon check ins and reaches out for any clarification. She is absolutely the best! I know our boys are in great hands with her checking in on them.
I cannot recommend our cat sitter highly enough! She took such amazing care of our cats while we were away and went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she make sure our cat was comfortable and monitored closely, but she also cleaned up all the messes without complaint and kept us updated throughout the entire time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and capable hands. She was reliable, attentive, communicative, and genuinely treated our cats as if they were her own. It’s not easy dealing with unexpected pet health issues, but she handled everything with kindness and dedication. We came home to happy cats and a clean home, and we are so grateful for her help.

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.

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.
