“Tom and Erica are simply the best! I have used their service for drop-ins several times. They always acknowledge any last minute directions for feedings, etc.. My Aussie loves them and I love that they leave updates and send photos. I am totally confident that Sallie is well cared for and given tons of love when either of them is here.”
“If I could give a 1000 stars I would!!! Torie was absolutely a gem. It was last minute and she truly is Mrs Dolittle. Willow our dachshund had such an amazing time. And went right to Torie i know he felt loved because, the pictures really tell a story. Thank you soo much Torie for loving him the way we do. We will be forever thankful to you. Love Willow and his family.”
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals through my work at animal shelters and a luxury cat boarding kennel! Throughout that time, I have cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including shy cats, energetic dogs, senior pets, and animals with special care needs. My experience includes feeding, administering medications, cleaning runs and litter boxes, monitoring health and behavior, providing enrichment and exercise, and ensuring animals feel safe and comfortable. Working in shelter and kennel environments has taught me how to recognize signs of stress or illness, handle animals safely and compassionately, and adapt to each pet's individual needs. I understand how important it is for pet parents to know their pets are in caring and capable hands, and I am committed to providing reliable, personalized care and regular updates during every visit! I am currently working part-time at a luxury cat boarding kennel, which allows me to have a relatively flexible schedule for drop-ins and walks! I am also available to house sit, however I am unable to stay nights as I have an elderly kitty who gets lonely. My current availability is as follows: - Saturday & Monday from 8am-8pm - Sunday, Wednesday, & Thursday from 11:30am-8pm - Tuesday & Friday from 4:30pm-8pm When caring for your pet in your home, I focus on maintaining your pet's regular routine, carefully following all instructions to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you are away. My top priority is safety. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, use leashes and harnesses as directed, and monitor pets for any signs of stress, illness, or injury. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well cared for! Additionally, I treat your home with the same level of care, ensuring it is kept clean, secure, and respected. I care for both your pet and your home as if they were my own.
About: I have been house sitting overnight since I was 14. I have experience working with dogs, cats, mice, and flying squirrels. Believe it or not, I have taken care of dogs who were indoor-trained only.I am also an experienced dog walker- not just with my own dogs but with friends' dogs that I've loved as my own. **serious inquiries only** please do not send me a booking request if you're going to ghost me after I respond or if you plan to book with another sitter. You'd be surprised by how often this happens. I abide by the safety precautions at the homes I stay at (fences, ring cameras, etc). When I stay with indoor cats, I take extra precautions when leaving the house to make sure the cats don't escape.
About: I have owned dogs my entire life. My friends and family have depended on me while they are away on vacation or working long days. I have begun offering my services to the general public. My love for animals has always been strong. I actually prefer animals over humans! I recently became CPR certified for both cats and dogs so you will have peace of mind when your pets are in my care. I am a self-employed professional with a very flexible schedule working mostly remote. This gives me the opportunity to care for your pets when needed. I offer overnight stays in the comfort of your home or a flexible walking schedule as needed. I realize every household has different needs and I will try to accommodate.

“Cayton did a great job taking care of my cat Rudy. She is very capable at giving medication. Rudy was always happy to see her. Cayton also brought in the package that was sitting on my front step. I will definitely reach out to her again when I need care for Rudy while I'm away! I'd recommend her to anybody needing pet care.”

“Sarah has been amazing to work with. She’s incredibly reliable, very communicative, and just an all-around friendly, positive person. My dog loved her instantly and now gets so excited every time she sees her, which says everything. She takes her on long walks and always sends great photo updates, so I feel completely at ease knowing how well she’s doing. It’s clear she genuinely cares. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to care for their pet!”
“Emily was great! We did a meet and greet before the day of the check-in to make sure Maple (our dog) could warm up and be comfortable with her. She sent us pictures of Maple during the check-in and let us know Maple was behaved on her walk. We will definitely use Emily again when the opportunity presents! Thank you so much Emily!!!”
About: I ensure the highest quality care for my own pets, and I will make it my priority to do the same for yours! As long as I can remember I’ve had pets, and they’ve always been a passion of mine. I work full time from home during the week until 5pm! I am able to provide drop in visits in the evenings and then multiple times a day on weekends. I am unable to accept pets in my own home at the moment, however what ever you need done within your own home I will make sure is done correctly and in a timely manner!
About: Set your mind at ease knowing I will treat your pets as my own! I am detail oriented and always on time. Whether you’re going out of town or just going to work for the day, you can count on me to be there for your babies! I know what it’s like to worry about them while you’re away so I will be happy to send you photos and spend time giving them love and care. Skills and Experience: - senior dog care - high-energy dog care - administering cat inhaler - administering pills to cats and dogs I also have experience as a volunteer wildlife caregiver at Quogue Wildlife Refuge as well as two years of farm animal handling experience (goats, chickens, horses, and llamas).

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Niantic on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 646 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Niantic. 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 Niantic. 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.
