“Our cat is 21 years old and requires lots of love and attention. Kaitlyn came daily to administer her three medications, feed her and clean her litter. But best of all was seeing pictures of my cat comfortable and happy with Kaitlyn! Will definitely have Kaitlyn come back to take care of our fur baby again!!”
“Shibo was absolutely amazing! I have two male cats, and one of them I had just adopted 10 days before leaving for my trip. He was very skittish when I first got him, but he warmed up to Shibo right away. My other cat took a liking to him immediately as well—who wouldn’t! Shibo was so wonderful, giving my cats the attention they needed while I was away. In the past, I relied on neighbors and people just stopping by to feed and check on them, but my experience with Shibo has completely changed my perspective. It is worth every penny to have someone as great as him looking after your fur babies! When I returned, I could see the difference in my fluffy companions in the best way as this is very early in their introduction phase. I had peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. Shibo provided fantastic updates and beautiful photos, making it clear that my cats had a wonderful time with their new friend. I have full trust in Shibo as I also came home to find everything exactly as I expected. I highly recommend Shibo for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! Especially cats.”

About: I treat every dog and puppy like family! I’m loving, patient, and always ready for walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of belly rubs and cuddles! It’s something that I’d like to do, if It’s possible to do it everyday and meet new cuddly friends, I’d love to have that opportunity to help! I’ll make sure they get comfortable with me and that they aren’t scared or timid. That isn’t what I’m there for, I want the pets to know that I am there to care for them so they can have fun!
About: Hello! My name is Gaby. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me some flexibility to care for pets. I grew up with dogs, and I now have a dog of my own, Lucy. I love having the opportunity to pet sit and care for other pets through Rover. I started dog walking when I was in high school for a few families in the neighborhood that worked full-time and didn’t have the ability to care for their pets throughout the work day. I walked dogs, dropped in to feed cats, change litter boxes, and spend some quality time with pets while their owners were away. For the past four years, I have been the go-to pet sitter for four different families. The pets were various breeds, sizes, ages, and had various medical needs. I have experience caring for senior dogs and cats and am always happy to provide the extra care and attention that they need. I also have experience taking care of puppies and have been known to have a sixth sense for puppies that are up to no good! I prioritize keeping to the pet’s normal routine since I have found that it makes everyone’s life easier and most importantly ensures that the pets stay comfortable, happy, and healthy! I am happy to send daily written and picture updates to owners, if desired. I mostly do this for fun and for supplemental income in my free time. I am primarily looking for regular dog walking clients on Sunday, Monday, Friday, and Saturday mornings, but I am also open to evening walks. I am happy to do weekend drop-ins at your home and am open to dog sitting on weekends as well. Feel free to reach out with any questions or requests. I am a quick responder to all communication. I can’t wait to meet you and your cutie pets! I currently work a hybrid schedule, so I have some flexibility to pet sit! I am in the office Tuesday-Thursday so I am unavailable those days. I would always be able to let you know ahead of time and plan accordingly. I am not able to board pets in my home at this time, so I am more than happy to come to you! Usually before pet sitting, I like to talk to the owners in detail about their pet's daily routine, dos and don'ts for their pets, any special/medical needs, house rules, etc. to ensure that I am creating the best environment for them and their pets.
“Christy was amazing with checking in on our cat Boo. My husband and I went on vacation for a week and we couldn’t take Boo with us. Usually when we go away we take him but this trip we couldn’t. Boo has to take a few different meds to take twice a day. Christy stepped up and took such great care of him. She sent us numerous photos and videos. She also checked in everyday, twice a day when she’d go over and take care of him. She spent time with Boo and played with him as well. Christy put us at such ease as far as how Boo is doing with us away. If we go away again and can’t take Boo we will definitely be reaching out to Christy again.”

About: I have been able to take care of my cat for 5 years and he is still happy and healthy. I am hardworking and about to receive my GED. After school, I come home and finish mu homework and let my cat do it's normal behavior and when needed, I attend to him without issue. I have a fenced gate that my yard has meaning I can take my cat out for a walk and bring it back inside after it is done.
About: I am a responsible and reliable animal lover . I have had animals all my life and even worked with dogs and cat for 6 years at a rescue and adoption center. I love animals; i have 1 older cat and 2 dogs. My older dog Dino is about 10 years old and is a couch potato at this point in his life. My younger guy Reuben is about 6. He was rescued from Georgia from a kill shelter. I also have years of experience with reptiles and fish! I have 2 crested geckos, an electric blue crayfish and a turtle. I’ve also taken care all types of fish, bearded dragons and other lizards! I work locally so can come home or do home visits throughout the day for check ins! I am also available early morning and anytime after 5pm for drop ins and walks. At my house, we treat all pets like our own! I have a fenced yard so all pups will be safe. My dog is friendly and accepting of all dogs! I am also familiar with crate training so can accommodate that but me and my kids are also open to them sleeping with us at night :)
About: I’m an attentive sitter only with experience caring for my family’s brown dachshund, Snickers (yes like after the Snickers bar lol), over the past year. I may not have formal pet‑care training, but I have a natural ease with animals and a friendly, patient presence that helps them feel comfortable. I’m reliable, gentle, and committed to making your pet feel safe, happy, and well‑cared‑for. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday on a hybrid schedule. I can work around my work schedule and supplying care on the weekends and in the early afternoon and evenings during the weekdays. Although all options won’t be available at once every week, those would be my typical options. As far as pet care, of course there’s feeding, walking, playing and exercising, and general comfort of the pet. I will be willing to supply whatever needs specific to that pet given the instruction from the owner.
About: I have raised German Shepards, Golden Retrievers, Great Danes, and I am currently a mommy to a Japanese akita, I have experience with several dog breeds. I am currently bartending events on call therefore my schedule is very flexible. I am able to have a lot of time for your fluffy. Kiki has a routine she is on, she is a very calm dog, she gets along very well with cats. Many people have told me that she must have been a cat in her past lifetime.
“melanie was great! she was on time and communicated very well regarding any changes in schedule. I can tell she was kind to my cat. I look forward to booking her again in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated dog lover with over three years of experience as a dog owner and a reliable go-to sitter for my friends' pups. From daily walks to overnight stays, I’ve helped care for dogs of all sizes and personalities — whether they’re energetic adventurers or laid-back cuddlers. I’ve walked, boarded, and dog, sat regularly, and I treat every pup like part of the family, I even threw my own dog a birthday party on his 2nd birthday! I know how important it is to keep dogs happy, safe, and loved while their humans are away, and I take that responsibility seriously (with a healthy dose of play and treats, of course!). Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I’m available on weekday evenings and have open availability on weekends, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive and consistent care. Whether it’s an evening walk after work or drop-in visits, I love making room in my schedule to spend time with pets. Caring for animals isn’t just something I squeeze in, it’s something I truly enjoy and plan my time around. I’m reliable, flexible on weekends, and always happy to help make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. In my home, I make sure pets have a cozy, clean space to relax, plenty of playtime, and regular walks and feeding schedules. I keep things quiet and low-stress, especially for dogs or cats who may be nervous in a new place. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to the routines they’re used to , from feeding times and walking routes to bedtime rituals and favorite toys. I respect your space and always leave things clean and tidy. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every pet like they’re my own , with lots of love, patience, and attention.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 5 years, including my family dog and family friends’. I love going on walks, bathing, and feeding dogs. I know some tricks to give them medicine if needed. I’m working part-time on Saturdays, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your fur baby throughout the week. I don’t have any time restraints, so feel free to rely on me. I know how to crate dogs, regardless of age, and have a lot of patience since I’ve babysat toddlers before too. I know not all dogs are the same and wait for them to approach first unless there’s an emergency.
“Jasmine was awesome! She housesat for me for two weeks and took great care of my kitty. She sent me videos and updates and kept the place very tidy. I’d definitely book her again! Thanks Jasmine :)”
“Great first time using Rover. Simple and straight forward. Kathryn was always very quick to respond to all of my questions and comments. My cat Freya has a few particular needs and Kathryn did not hesitate to meet all of them.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Oakland Gardens
First and foremost, thank you both so much for your incredible service! Nasimul and Dominique were professional, caring, and highly responsive from start to finish. They followed all of my instructions perfectly, which gave me complete peace of mind and made me feel so secure while I was away. They are incredibly trustworthy! My cat is usually very shy and keeps to himself, but he wasn't shy with them at all. They made him feel so safe and comfortable that he was able to just be his usual happy self during their visits. THANK YOU! I will absolutely be a returning client.

Cynthia was AMAZING!! She took such great care of my cat while I was away. She was responsive, checked in, super easy to communicate with, very kind and nurturing, and made the whole process a dream. I will definitely be booking again. I felt that my cat was in safe and loving hands while I was away for a week. 100000/10!!!!

Yiming is really a wonderful sitter: super professional, responsive, and thorough. I tend to be rather anxious when leaving my cat alone, but I was able to totally have some peace of mind thanks to Yiming’s attentiveness and clear love for animals! 1000% recommend

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Oakland Gardens is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 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 of October 2026, there are 12,585 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Oakland Gardens. 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.

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.
