About: I’ve previously worked for another pet service where I took dogs on walks and did drop-in visits. I also have some experience with cats, but I have a 5-year old dog myself. I have experience taking care of elderly dogs as I dog sat for a family friend for a few months and stayed the night at their house once a week. I would take the dog for walks, spend time with him and give him any medication he needed. I love animals and it doesn’t feel like work to take care of them for me. I am a teacher, so I am free during school breaks and on weekends. When I am not working full-time at school, pet care will be my first priority. I will listen to any requests made by the pet owner for what they want me to do, such as letting them out in a fenced backyard or keeping them on a leash. I also have experience crate training my dog and find that can be a safe place for dogs too.
“Can’t say enough good things about Kim! She is amazing with our puppy and our puppy is considerably more well behaved on days when Kim stops by for drop in visits. Kim is an amazing communicator and amazing with dogs. Our puppy loves seeing her and I know she is well taken care of by Kim. Kim also takes great care of our apartment too - we always come back to a tidy apartment after her visits.”
“We had a meet and greet with my nervous pup and Paige was great - knew how to handle an anxious dog and helped create a low stress introduction. My dog and I look forward to working more with Paige!”
“Jordan took great care of Mona while I was away for several days. Mona can be sensitive to changes in routine, and Jordan was calm, patient, and very attentive in helping her feel comfortable. She was communicative, reliable, and made sure Mona’s routine stayed consistent, which gave me peace of mind while traveling. I appreciated how thoughtful she was in making sure Mona was well cared for and comfortable. Over the course of the visits, Mona became more relaxed and even playful, which really speaks to Jordan’s approach and attentiveness. Jordan is responsible, kind, and clearly cares about the animals she works with. I would absolutely recommend her and would gladly book with her again.”
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life and have over 15 years of personal experience owning and caring for pets. As a lifelong cat owner who has raised four cats, I know exactly what it takes to keep felines happy, healthy, and comfortable. In addition to my own pets, I have years of experience pet-sitting for neighbors, handling everything from daily walks and feeding schedules to playtime and basic cleanup for dogs of various breeds and sizes. I treat every animal with the same level of love and responsibility as my own. My schedule allows me plenty of flexibility to dedicate high-quality time to your pets. I am available for weekend boarding and house sitting, and my weekdays are wide open for afternoon and evening visits, walks, or check-ins. Because I can manage my time effectively, your pet will never have to wait long for a bathroom break, a fresh meal, or some energetic playtime. Safety is my absolute highest priority when watching a pet. I maintain a highly organized, safe, and clean living space where animals can relax without stress. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow all security protocols, ensure doors and gates are fully secured, and strictly adhere to your specific rules regarding crating, feeding, and leash safety during walks. You can expect regular photo updates so you always know your fur baby is safe and thriving.
“Claudia was excellent. She was timely, kind, and caring to our pups. She kept us updated throughout our trip. She’s an excellent photographer, capturing our pups as well. We will definitely rebook with her in the future.”
“Consistently amazing! I’ve hired her multiple times to take care of my floof. She is so good with my cute and anxious cat and always has great communication with me during the time she’s caring for my kitty.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I provide dependable, compassionate care for pets as if they were my own. Whether you need pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, or care in my home or yours, my goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have over 30 years of experience in the medical field, which has given me a strong foundation in caregiving, attention to detail, and recognizing the needs of others—including our furry family members. In addition to general pet care, I have experience providing gentle pet massage for senior pets and those recovering from injuries. Our family includes a friendly Goldendoodle and a tabby cat, and we have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore. Throughout my life, I have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, and even a beloved pet duck who was part of my family for many years. I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets requiring extra patience and attention. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved companion, and I strive to provide the same love, care, and attention that they receive at home. Whether you’re at work, traveling, or simply need an extra helping hand, you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring and capable hands.

“Fantastic care for unusual animals. Amanda was so diligent with the feeding needs of my turtle. She even volunteered a lettuce leaf as a snack. She took great care of the fish without overfeeding and provided medical care for one of them. Then she very kindly agreed to water my plants. Pictures and videos everyday. Lots of communication. I will absolutely use her again and you should too. If she does this well with a turtle, imagine how great you'll be with your cats and dogs.”

“Sam is the absolute best! I feel very comfortable leaving my dog and cat with her, and letting her into my home. She has amazing communication and sends me plenty of photos and videos during her visit! Will definitely be rebooking for any time that I’ll need her in the future”
“Reliable, friendly, kind, and took excellent care of our 2 cats and turtle. This was our first time using a pet sitter, and it couldn’t have been a more positive experience. Thank you, Nicole! 🐈🐢🐈⬛”
“We had a short notice need for a sitter for “the girls”, Peaches & Reagan, and Emma and Trent responded promptly and were able to accommodate our schedule. It is so nice being able to count on someone and have “the girls” get so excited when they see them. Reagan for the extra attention and Peaches for an opportunity to get treats. LOL Dont hesitate if you need someone to watch your fur babies. They will be safe and and well taken care of. Thanks again Emma & Trent!”
“Kelly was great! She was so patient with my shy cat and even sat with her while she ate. I had such peace of mind while she took care of my furbabies. I will definitely rebook her again 😻😻”
“Sharon watched my 2 boys for 2 weeks while I was out of the country and i could not have been happier with her dog-sitting services. She took such good care of them and kept me well informed about how they were doing. I have used other dog sitters over the years but she is the best!”
“Sarah Z The aka "dog whisper". I have never been away before and I have two protective yet talkative yet shy 11 month old German shepards, Sarah came over and met my girls and it was like a whole new experience yet training training session in one! She is kind compassionate and so amazing with animals. I felt so at ease leaving my kids with her when I went away, I would highly recommend her to anyone! Honestly this was my first time using this app but I will always use Sarah two thumbs up and a bunch of gold stars.”
“Melissa was amazing with our Stella! This was our first time using rover and Melissa made us feel comfortable and secure that Stella was in great hands! We will definitely be using Melissa again and can’t recommend her enough! :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,809 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Old Field. 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.

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.
