About: Grew up with dogs my whole life. They have always been a very important part of my life and can't imagine not having these amazing animals in my life. I am partially retired and have a lot of time to hang out and play with your fur baby. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats of my own and spend a lot of time playing and hanging out with them. I have a huge fenced yard on over 3 acres and two Cavalier King Charles of my own to keep your fur baby company! Can even crate if needed. Can take care of in my home or yours.

About: With 15 wonderful years as a pet owner, I understand how important it is to know your furry family member is in caring, responsible hands. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits. I’m committed to providing personalized care, keeping your pet comfortable and happy, and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Every pet deserves patience, attention, and plenty of love— and that’s what I aim to provide! I am available with a flexible schedule and can provide attentive care, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, and I am happy to follow specific instructions from pet owners. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so pets and their owners can feel comfortable and confident while they are apart. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I would follow the pet’s normal routine and the owner’s specific instructions. I would provide fresh food and water, give medications if requested and properly instructed, take dogs for walks or provide indoor exercise, and spend quality time with the pet so they feel comfortable and cared for. I would also clean up after the pet, maintain a safe and tidy environment, and give the owner regular updates so they know how their pet is doing. I would treat the client’s home with the same respect and care that I would want for my own home.

“Erin went above and beyond with my pets when I was in the hospital. She walked my dog every day, sent pictures of my cat and dog, and she even vacuumed my house and took out my trash. She checked up on me when I got out of the hospital. I would definitely hire her again.”

About: Hi! My name is Sydney and I've regularly walked my neighbors' dogs since I was 12. That role made me the go-to pet sitter for most of the households on my block! I've taken care of senior dogs over the age of 14, puppies, cats and kittens. At home, I have a cat and two dogs myself (a lab and a cavapoo). I work a hybrid job and can regularly check-in and be present with your pets! If you board with me, my pet-loving family is happy to play with your pup all day long as well! I have a fenced in yard and two dogs and one cat, so your dog needs to be friendly with other dogs. My cat is very good with dogs and my two dogs are friendly as well.

About: Hello! I’m a dedicated and highly experienced pet care provider with a professional background in grooming, dog boarding, and veterinary care. This well-rounded experience allows me to confidently care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—including pets who require extra attention, patience, or specialized care. I prioritize safety, structure, and comfort in every visit, ensuring your pet maintains their routine while feeling secure and relaxed in your absence. From attentive walks and enrichment to proper handling and basic medication support, every detail of care is handled with intention and professionalism. I understand that your pets are family, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide a calm, dependable, and elevated level of care that gives both you and your pet complete peace of mind. I also provide consistent updates so you always feel connected and reassured. I look forward to offering your pet a safe, attentive, and truly personalized experience 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule, as I only work Fridays and am otherwise a stay-at-home mom. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and energy to your pet—whether that means walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I offer attentive, well-rounded care tailored to each pet’s needs, including feeding routines, walks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I love staying active, so your pet can enjoy regular walks, outdoor time, and even longer adventures like hikes if they’re up for it. With my background in grooming, I’m also able to provide additional services such as nail trims and light grooming upon request for an added fee, making it convenient to keep your pet looking and feeling their best. Above all, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away 🐾

Taylor was also great at following the instructions I left for their feeding schedule as well as other instructions about making sure my cats were comfortable while I was gone. Will definitely rebook in the future.”

About: I grew up in a house that sometimes had six dogs at once — big dogs, little dogs, and every personality in between. Needless to say, I’ve always felt pretty at home around four-legged chaos. I know how much our pets mean to us because I’m a pet owner too. They’re family, and when you’re trusting someone with them, you want to know they’re getting more than just the basics — they’re getting attention, affection, playtime, and plenty of love. My goal is simple: keep your pup happy, cared for, and feeling right at home while you’re away. And when it comes to the number of photo updates? The limit does not exist. My schedule gives me flexibility to fit pet care into my day, whether that’s a walk, a midday drop-in, or some evening playtime and cuddles. I love having a reason to get outside and spend time with animals, so caring for your pet is something I genuinely look forward to — not just another item on my calendar. I love caring for pets in their own home because I know how much more comfortable they can be in a familiar environment. I’ll keep their normal routine as consistent as possible — meals, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and of course plenty of attention and affection. I’m also very respectful of your home and will treat it with the same care I would my own. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

About: One of my cats lived to be 22. Senior care is a specialty. Grateful for our time together. Non ferrel strays seem to find me. I've had 2 in the past 17 years. I work form home so my schedule is very flexible. Early morning is a good time to connect or late at night. I look forward to play time with cat clients. I spend at least 30 minutes spending time with cat clients. It does take time for some cats to come out of hiding. Clean litter is a must. Fresh water. Occasional treats : >)

We have used Rover for over 10 years and Rachel is the absolute gold standard. She uses the entire duration of her visit and sends detailed notes as well as mapping our dog's walks. Our pets are very comfortable with Rachel and we're grateful for the detailed attention, care, and kindness with which she looks after them and creates her well documented check-ins. During our most recent booking, Rachel was incredibly flexible with us when we had an emergency while traveling that extended our stay beyond our initially booked appointments. When that extended stay meant the waste bags we provided ran out she not only brought her own for the rest of the additional visits but actually left us two full extra rolls. She truly goes so far above and beyond and we'll always book with Rachel whenever we have the chance!

We are so happy that we found Marissa to check in on our sweet cat Spooky while we were away. I’m usually very nervous, and we were going to be very far away for over a week, but after meeting Marissa, we were both very comfortable and confident that Spooky would be in good hands. We looked forward to the photos Marissa sent us each day of Spooky playing, and we returned to a happy and healthy kitty. Thank you for your efficient communication and for taking wonderful care of our baby!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - New Light

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in New Light is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $35 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 October 2026, there are 2,598 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across New Light. 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 .

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Light. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 , 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.
