About: Hi! I'm Chaqutia, the person behind C's Cozy Canine Club! I'm an animal lover with 12 years of pet care experience, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality, needs, and routine. I believe pets are family, and they deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved even when their favorite people aren't home. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, including administering oral medications and providing extra attention to pets who need a little more patience and TLC. I also offer cat care! I currently specialize in care where your pets feel most comfortable: their own home. Whether you need overnight house sitting, a midday drop-in, or someone to take your pup on a refreshing walk, I'll make sure their routine receives the attention it deserves. You can also expect regular pictures, videos, and updates because I know how reassuring it is to see your babies happy and doing well while you're away. Beyond pet care, I'm happy to help with small household tasks such as watering plants and bringing in mail or packages upon request. I look forward to meeting you and becoming someone you and your furry family can count on! A little more about my care style: Patient, attentive, dependable, and always tailored to the individual pet. Every animal deserves to feel like family. 🐾 As a stay at home mom of two, I have a flexible daily routine that allows me to accommodate pet care visits, scheduled walks, and overnight house sitting. I enjoy incorporating pet care into my schedule and making sure each pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I prioritize reliability and communication, so I work with pet parents to establish a schedule that fits their pets' routines and expectations. Whether it's a morning walk, an afternoon drop-in, or overnight care, I want you to feel confident knowing your pets are in caring hands. Since I specialize in in-home pet care, I focus on making sure your pets feel comfortable and secure in their own familiar environment. I follow your instructions closely, maintain established routines, and take the time to understand your pet's individual needs, personality, and any special care requirements. Safety is always a priority. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and feeding areas are handled properly, medications are administered according to your instructions, and your home is treated with the utmost respect. I also believe communication is an important part of trust. You'll receive regular updates, pictures, and videos so you can stay connected with your pets while you're away.

About: I’ve had my two cats for about three years now, and we’ve built a routine together around feeding, playing, sleeping, and everything in between. Every day when I walk through the door, they’re the first two to greet me. I make sure they’re always fed, clean, hydrated, well cared for, and most importantly, safe. I work full time during the week, so I’m generally unavailable during the day, but I’m usually free in the evenings after work and have full availability on weekends. I live in a two-bedroom, ground-floor apartment with a private, enclosed patio where my cats can safely explore outdoors without the risk of escaping. We also have an extra bedroom set up so they have their own space and time when they want it.

About: I am a quick study and am passionate about working with all sorts of animals, dogs and cats are my favorite.  I work from home and can get my work done from anywhere. I had my first cat Patches ( my calico Queen) at 10 years of age . I know that each individual animal has its own temperament preferences, and schedule. I assume nothing, but will try everything. I have the most experience with dogs and cats . . Over 18 experiences on TrustedHouseSitters. Fresh water for will always be given twice a day. It’s me and my 15 year old sweet daughter . We are usually in bed by 9 pm . As a profesional furniture mover and airbnb host & guest I have been in many homes in several cities.I have owned homes myself, and I’m well-versed in finding immediate solution and soliciting outside help if anything goes wrong inside or outside the home . Even though my outside contact will be minimal, I will ensure your home  is properly sanitized upon your return. I work from home, and I am an Early Bird. Morning walks and sometimes jogs are already embedded into my morning routine along with changing water bowls and feeding my own cats at home. My pets at home are spoiled with cuddly mornings and clean litter boxes. Up until last summer I would also be up early and walking my Belgian Malinois for a good hour. Whether it’s feeding time, play time or walking time, I treat every pet with the same love and attention I give to my Airbnb guests as a Superhost.

About: Retired English teacher and lifelong cat lover! After years of having cats of my own, I now have the time to give yours the same love, care, and attention. Since I am retired, I have free time and a flexible schedule. I can usually adapt or modify my plans to accomodate the client's needs. I will care for the pet in a respectful way with care not only for the animal, but also for the client's property and environment. I live alone and understand the need for privacy and order and will therefore, be mindful of the client's property.

About: I care for dogs with real love and intention. My energy is calm, grounded, and high-vibrational, and dogs feel that. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I pay attention to each dog’s personality. Some need to run and play, some just want to chill—and I’m good with both. I’m patient, present, and I don’t rush them or ignore what they need. I’m also active, so I can keep up with high-energy dogs, but I’m just as good at giving calm, steady companionship. Your dog won’t just be watched with me—they’ll be cared for like family. Pet care is a regular part of my weekly routine. I do this part-time, so I have the flexibility to really be present and give each dog proper attention. I’m reliable with my schedule and make sure the dogs I care for get my time, energy, and consistency. When I’m in a client’s home, I stick to the dog’s normal routine so they feel at ease. I follow any instructions given and make sure everything stays consistent for them. I’ll take them on walks, play with them, or just relax and give them attention—whatever they need in that moment. I also respect the home and keep things clean and calm.

About: Ive been pet sitting since I was around 12 years old, and have had a dog ever since I was a kid. I love taking care of animals and giving them as much love and attention as possible. Ive taken care of small Yorkies to large Rottweilers and everything in between. I have also been professionally walking dogs for the last 5 years. I have always had a special place in my heart for animals of all kinds, which leads me to prioritize their needs. I am currently working as a professional pet sitter/walker so your pets needs are my top priority! I am very diligent about keeping the animals safe; not only while they are outside but while they are in the home as well. While on walks I have worked with different kinds of reactive dogs and know techniques and strategies that will help keep all parties safe and secure.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. Friends, family, and peers trust me to take care of their pets while they’re away. I made sure that they returned home better than ever like they went on a vacation too! I have experience with high-energy pups to senior dogs and can adapt to their personality and pace. I enjoy caring for animals from walking, playing, administering medication, grooming, and providing a calm space. What find most important is being patient and attentive to what your pet specifically needs. My top priority is always keeping pets happy and healthy. I’m currently on a break from school and not working on anything else. My dog, cat, and turtle keep me company in the house. I enjoy daily walks, visiting the park, and sunset outings. I also like volunteering when I have the time. Rain or shine I’m available to go on walks, have playtime, visit parks, or give cozy cuddles. I’d be happy to take dogs out to walk wherever they’re most comfortable. I can also assist with grooming, clean up, take in mail, water plants, or any other tasks. I’m currently not taking pets into my home but I am willing to travel.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve had both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have been caring for different breeds on my own since my teenage years. Friends and family regularly trust me with their pets, and I’m also a proud dog parent to Bob and cat parent to Nathan! I truly love animals and would be delighted to care for your furry family members while you’re away. I’m a real estate agent serving Westchester, NYC, and Long Island, which gives me a very flexible schedule. While most of my showings are on weekends, I work remotely during the week and can be fully present with your pets. I’m happy to provide overnight care as well, so your furry friends (and your home) are safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and routine come first. In your home, I follow your care instructions closely — feeding, walks, litter care, medications, and of course plenty of love and playtime. I aim to keep everything feeling normal and stress-free while you’re away. If pets stay with me, they receive constant supervision, a clean and cozy environment, and lots of enrichment and attention. I’m very attentive to each animal’s personality and needs. I also send regular photo and video updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing.

About: What sets me apart is the patience and personal attention I give to every pet. I understand that each animal has their own personality and routine, so I’ll take the time to learn what makes your pet feel comfortable and cared for. Whether they love going on walks, playing, or relaxing at home, I’ll make sure they get the attention they need. As a Fordham student, I’m responsible, organized, and committed to following your instructions. I know leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I’ll keep you updated and treat them with the same care and respect I would want for my own pet. I also speak both English and Spanish, so I’m happy to communicate in whichever language you prefer! 🐾 As a Fordham student, I plan my schedule around my classes and make time for pet care during my free hours. I’m happy to spend that time going on walks, playing, feeding your pet, or keeping them company. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly so we can find a schedule that works for you and your pet! 🐾 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any other care your pet needs. I’ll also make sure they have fresh water and plenty of attention and companionship. I respect your home and will keep their space clean and tidy. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away. 🐾

About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs and understand the responsibility that comes with taking care of someone’s beloved pet. I’m experienced with following their regular feeding routines, providing fresh water, taking dogs on walks, giving them bathroom breaks, playing with them, and making sure they have a safe and comfortable environment. I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I take the time to learn their individual routines and needs. I’m also attentive to their behavior and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, companionship, affection, and supervision throughout the day. I take pride in being dependable and treating every dog in my care with patience, respect, and the same level of love and attention I would want someone to give my own pets.

I have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of space for your pet to play, relax, and enjoy some fresh air. I also live near a local park, making it easy to take your furry friend on enjoyable walks and give them the exercise and attention they deserve. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, happy, and right at home.

Elisa did a fantastic job taking care of our cats while we were away! She gave us updates and photos daily of how they were doing. There was a situation where one cat accidentally consumed the medication meant for the other cat and she called us right away and volunteered to drop in extra to make sure that he was okay and didn’t need veterinary attention. We 100% recommend Elisa and will definitely book her again!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Mount Vernon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Mount Vernon is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 3,544 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Mount Vernon. 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 Mount Vernon. On Rover:

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.
