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.

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.

Yachen and her partner were amazing. She took such loving care of our senior dog, Luna, the last few weeks of her life. She was very understanding with Luna’s needs, while also making sure Rio was attended to as well.

About: Welcome to London Elite Pet Care 🐾 Loving & reliable pet care in New Rochelle, NY. Caring for animals is more than a job for me — it’s something I truly love. My goal is for every pet in my care to feel safe, happy, comfortable, and loved, just like part of the family. 🤍 Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, routine, favorite activities, and what makes them feel most comfortable. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or prefers cuddles and a peaceful place to relax, I adapt my care to their individual needs. 🐕 Dog Walking – Safe and enjoyable walks tailored to your dog’s pace, personality, and energy. 🏡 Drop-In Visits – Feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, companionship, and lots of attention. 🐶🐱 Care in My Home – I welcome well-behaved dogs of all sizes and cats who are comfortable in a peaceful family home. Daycare and overnight stays are available depending on your pet’s individual needs and temperament. My son, Ezekiel, is my sweet little helper and a true animal lover. 🐾 He has grown up around the pets I care for and loves talking to them, reading them stories, giving them affection, and playing with them. If your dog has lots of energy, they may have found their perfect playmate — Ezekiel seems to have endless energy too! 🐶💕 All interactions are always supervised by me, and I remain fully responsible for every pet in my care. 📸 I love keeping pet parents connected, so you can expect photos, updates, and reliable communication while your pet is with me. Your pet’s safety, routine, comfort, and happiness always come first. I want you to enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is safe, entertained, cared for, and surrounded by love. I don’t just care for pets — I love them. 🤍🐾 I’d love to meet you and your furry family member. Send me a message and let’s plan their next walk, visit, daycare, or stay! ✨ Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I genuinely enjoy spending my days walking, playing with, and caring for animals, and I organize my schedule carefully so each pet receives the time and individual attention they deserve. I’m flexible with walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight care, and I always prioritize each pet’s usual routine, comfort, and happiness. 🐾🤍 In my home, pets are truly treated like part of the family. 🤍 I provide a clean, peaceful, and loving environment where they can relax, play, and feel at home. I carefully follow each pet’s feeding, walking, sleeping, and medication routine while giving them plenty of individual attention and affection. I also have the sweetest little helper, my son Ezekiel! 🐾 He has grown up around the pets I care for and absolutely loves animals. He enjoys reading stories to them, talking to them, giving them affection, and especially playing with dogs who have lots of energy. If your pup loves to play, Ezekiel seems to have an endless supply of energy too! 🐶💕 He has learned from a young age how to be gentle and respectful with animals, and all interactions are always under my supervision. I remain fully responsible for every pet in my care. For everyone’s safety and comfort, I welcome well-behaved dogs and cats who are comfortable in a family home environment. I also send photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, entertained, and surrounded by lots of love. 🏡🐾🤍

About: I’m my friends’ go-to sitter and walker, especially when they’re in a pinch. My background in volunteer work, combined with my love for helping people, is what pushed me to giving Rover a try. I can’t think of a better way to spend my free time! I work fully remote with a very flexible schedule. I’d love to spend that extra time with your pets and keep them entertained. I love the outdoors, so going on long walks to for a group exercise session will always be in order. I give pets the attention they deserve. I’m highly capable of managing my time, where balancing my work and your pets’ needs is never a concern for me.

About: Growing up with three dogs has given me a deep understanding of the needs and behaviors of both young and senior dogs. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. I also have experience looking after cats—feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and spending quality time playing and bonding with them. In middle and high school, I regularly walked and cared for my neighbors’ dogs, which helped me develop a strong foundation in providing reliable pet care. Whether it’s going on a walk, offering companionship, or ensuring pets are safe and comfortable while their owners are away, I absolutely love spending time with animals and providing them with the care they need. I’m excited to bring my passion for animals and my experience to help your pets feel happy, healthy, and loved! I have time to house sit overnight or come take your pets out for walks or come to play with them/feed them whenever you need! Typically, I would take my dogs out for walks, play with them, bathe them, feed them their pills (if necessary). I would also make sure they don't get too hot (especially now that we are getting into the summer months. I try to make sure to take my pets on long walks and give them a good opportunity to get outside, but if it is too hot I am careful to bring them back inside.

About: I've had animals since I was born: dogs, cats, a bird, a snake, rabbit, hamsters, fish and some other reptiles. While I was born and raised in LA, I just spent the last 3 years living on a ranch in rural Florida with a horse, chickens, emus, dogs and cats. So I'm a big animal lover! I have a cattle dog of my own (very hyperactive) that I recently adopted. She was a stray and has some reactive tendencies. I am very comfortable around dogs with high energy (puppies are great - mine is 9 months old) or dogs with trauma. Dogs are so sensitive to human energy and so I make sure to be supportive and make them feel comfortable around me. I'll make sure to give your pup tons of TLC and ensure they stay properly hydrated and fed. For house sits, I'm happy to water plants, collect mail, and ensure the house stays clean. I'm currently freely available and happy to accommodate your schedule. I will clearly communicate when I will arrive (I hate lateness) and will give you an update of our walk with photos and text! I'm happy to do other things as needed, such as feeding them or administering medication. I don't feel comfortable doing injections though! If your dog is high energy, reactive or aggressive, I would be happy to accommodate his or her tendencies! I love playing with animals and studying them psychologically to create the most comfortable environment for their needs. Please let me know if your pet requires any particular medication, potty break schedules, oral medication or requires feeding in a particular way. I would be happy to accommodate.

Kathryn was wonderful with my kittens while I was away on vacation! She was so friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with from the very beginning, which immediately made me feel comfortable leaving them in her care. I especially appreciated how much time she spent with them during each visit. She didn’t just come by to feed them and leave—she actually spent time playing with them, giving them attention, and making sure they were taken care of. It made being away from them so much easier knowing they were getting plenty of love and weren't just being left alone. Kathryn sent me lots of adorable pictures, which I looked forward to getting every day! She followed all of the instructions I left and was very attentive to everything the kittens needed. It was clear from the way she interacted with them that she truly loves animals and cares about the pets she watches. I would absolutely have Kathryn watch my kittens again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter. Knowing that they were with someone who was giving them genuine attention and affection gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’m so happy we found her!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - New Rochelle

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in New Rochelle on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 12,181 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across New Rochelle. 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 New Rochelle. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
