“Lena is our hero. Our shy cats have warmed up to her after 2 vacations now, and she’s super communicative and will really look after your pets and their space like they’re her own. Can’t say enough good things, and it’s such a relief to know she’s there when we’re abroad.”
“Rebecca K. is an excellent caregiver, very attentive to details and even more so attentive to the pet's needs and behavior. I give her a 5 because it's the highest the app allows, but she really deserves a 10. We highly recommend her.”
“Ramen seemed relaxed and happy when I came home. The photos of her were adorable! Instructions were followed and I have no concerns. They were on time both nights with no complications. I will definitely be asking for their help again ❤️”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, from huskies, to mastiffs to pitbulls, I’ve cared for them all. I love all dogs and just get joy out of spending time with them. I also volunteer and foster pets for the UCSPCA. I am a student, I only have a few hours of classes a day so I have plenty of time to play and take doggies for walks. I am currently fostering a cat in my home, so most of the work I would be interested in doing is focused on dog walking and drop ins at a clients home. I am communicative and will send photos of animals!
“Emma was great! She was very communicative and went above and beyond to take great care of my dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs in her hands and they seemed to love her. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for the last 10 years, and my friends and neighbors have trusted me to walk and feed their pets too! I love cats and dogs of all kinds! I work Wednesday-Monday during the day so I can walk, feed, or play with pets in the afternoons and evenings or I can house sit overnight. I am used to high-energy dogs and cats that need someone to play with and get their energy out, or to take them for a long walk.
“Kimberly was thoughtful and communicative and took good care of our cat while we were away for the weekend. We appreciate Kimberly, would recommend her, and plan on asking her to do future kitty visits!”
About: Hi! I’m a stay at home mom who absolutely loves animals and being home makes me the perfect person to give your pup lots of attention throughout the day 🤍 I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and grew up with my Yorkie, Asia, who lived to 13. Being a dog mom taught me how important it is to know your fur baby is in safe, loving hands. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with both puppies and senior dogs, including giving oral medication if needed. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I make sure every pup feels comfortable and cared for. My home is cozy with a backyard for safe play, and I have a sweet cat named Woody. I treat every pet like family and always try to stick to their routine so they feel right at home. I’d love to set up a meet & greet beforehand so you can feel confident your pup is happy, safe, and loved 💓 I’m a full time stay at home mom to two precious little girls! and with that your pup will always have company! I balance caring for my little one with walks, playtime, and snuggles for your dog, making sure every pet gets attention and love throughout the day. My kids also have a love for animals as well and are taught how to interact with different animals! My home is cozy and safe, with a dedicated area for your pup to relax and feel at home where I'll have anything your pup needs (You're welcome to provide anything that makes them comfortable as well). I also have a backyard where they can run, play, and get their zoomies out safely. Your fur baby will have a space that’s loving, fun, and stress-free.
“Amelia was warm and kind and listened to all the directions I gave her (helicopter cat-mom here). She sent lots of pictures and updates about how everyone was doing after every visit. Just the best!”
“Alexander is incredibly reliable, kind and helpful in taking care of Skipper. He goes above and beyond in making sure that our older dog is consistently given walks, meals and even an insulin shot”
“We love Jayda and will definitely be using her again! She was so great with our girl, took her on walks and sent us lots of pics through out the visit- which made us feel so comfortable! Absolutely recommend!”
About: Most of my personal experience caring for pets is with cats; however, I've also taken care of and spent time with a number of dogs over the years. I've walked and sat dogs for neighbors and friends and friends of friends, and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. :) (I've also cared for chickens, ducks, and sheep, in case that's of interest.) I'm going to be working part-time on Sunday and Monday starting in October. The rest of the week will be pretty flexible and I would love to schedule around time with pets! I love early mornings and would be able to do morning and evening visits/walks on the days I work as well. I can offer whatever's needed. Show me the ropes and I'll follow through. I'll treat your pets and your home with as much care as if they were my own.
“Aliza is a warm and friendly sitter who was able to look after our two kitties on relatively short notice. She had some great ideas for how to handle feeding time based on their personalities and food-related behavior. She was also easy to work with. Will hire again!”
“I was extremely impressed with Grettel! I have a very shy and anxious cat who usually takes months to warm up to new people, and while I expected her to be well-cared for physically, I was pleasantly surprised to receive videos of a playful, happy cat. My expectations were very much exceeded, and I would hire Grettel again with no hesitation.”
About: Hello, I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 11 years old. From dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, you name it! I’ve trained many puppies and love everyone’s furry friends. Fun Fact my dog at home is scared of thunder, so I always sit in the bathtub with him until he’s ready to come out (photo included) I’ve also babysat and house sat for many years :) I have maximum 2 one hour classes a day with a 3 hour gap in between! So there will be plenty of time for me to take care of your furry friends!!! I live in a single room on campus with loads of space and two beds if the pets want to have a comfy space. When I have to leave for a class I play zen pet music to help calm them down if I have to leave!
About: Flexible schedule to meet all your pet's needs. 10+ years of experience and a whole lot of love. My greatest joy is providing clients with peace of mind, assuring them that while they’re away, their home and pets are safe, secure, and well cared for. I am also available to provide house sitting needs like watering plants, taking out the trash, and bringing in mail and packages. My schedule is flexible; I can tailor pet care to fit it. Let's schedule a preliminary visit and see if we're a good fit for each other. I'm excited to meet you and get to know your pet:) I do not care for pets in my home, but I am happy to stay overnight in your home and/or drop in to care for your pet. I love talking to pets and getting to know their personality. It brings me joy to see them happy and thriving in my care.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for most of my life, regularly volunteering at local shelters, and caring for two dogs and three cats of my own. I love to be active, and I am ready, willing, and able to bring your dogs on long, fun, and enriching walks. I also adore spending down time with pets, showing them all the love and affection you do! I’ve taken care of up to three dogs at once, and I am up for any challenge! I am flexible to your pets needs (medications, special diets, etc.) and will treat your pet as if they were my own. I am currently a part-time employee and student. My schedule is relatively stable but subject to change. I am unavailable at the following times due to my class/work schedule: Monday and Thursday (11:00-12:15, 3:30-4:45), Tuesday and Friday (7:30-1:30). However, I am ready to work with you to establish a schedule that work for both of us! I only do care at client’s homes because of my two cats at home who generally do not like other animals. I am ready to utilize client’s backyards, nearby trails, and anything else owners implement into their pet’s daily routine!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in New Paltz on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 New Paltz. 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 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.
