About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a child in 4H. I’ve had all sorts of pets, from cats and dogs, to hamsters and horses. I have experience with anything from neonatal kittens to senior pets. I’m a major empath and have a soft spot for all animals and creatures. I promise to care for your animals as if they were my own,with compassion and common sense. I’m looking forward to caring for your fur babies ☺️ I actually just moved to the area fairly recently from New Jersey, and I work from home so this would be an ideal way to fill my spare time. ☺️ I come equipped with experience with all kinds of pets, along with common sense and basic compassion for animals. I treat my pets like my children, and I would treat yours with those same standards.
“Kelly and Taylor have been so flexible with my crazy schedule. They send me photos of my sweet girl and make me feel at ease that she is being taken care of. Thank you ladies!!!”
“Gina was very thorough and organized with her notes for our daily routines for our two dogs and one elder cat. Spoiled them dearly with love while we were away on our trip, kept in touch with consistent communication for how her visits were. We would definitely recommend her if new to the area like we were!”
About: Hi! I’m Mariah, a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to a big, goofy dog and two sweet cats. While I’m new to professional pet care, I’ve spent years caring for my own animals and know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting—and I bring a calm, playful, and structured approach to every visit. Whether it’s a quick check-in, a good walk, or keeping your pets company while you’re away, I treat every animal like one of my own: with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to give you peace of mind—and your pets a new friend they can feel safe and happy with. I currently am a Preschool Teacher so I work Monday-Friday 8am-4:30. So I’m available on weekends. Summers I’m off so I will adjust my days and times when summer draws nearer. Whether I’m visiting your home for a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay, I do everything I can to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely—mealtimes, meds, playtime, litter boxes, the works—and always give your pet the attention, affection, and patience they deserve. For dogs, I bring a calm, structured energy to walks and make sure they get both exercise and fun. For cats, I understand that comfort and familiarity are everything—I move at their pace and respect their boundaries while still making time for play or snuggles if they’re into it. Every visit is about making your pet feel safe, seen, and loved—just like they would with you
“Tracy is awesome and I highly recommend her!! She took great care of our puppy dog and giving him plenty attention while we were away. A great communicator, she was also extremely flexible when our travel plans unexpectedly changed.”
“Hunter was above and beyond great!! Very reliable and communicative. She even helped with our chickens and checked on our barn kitty. Always a good feeling to know your furry family is being well taken care of while you’re away. Thanks Hunter!”
About: I grew up having at least one dog in my house at all times, and I have taken care of a variety of dogs for friends, family, and neighbors since middle school. I have experience with different breeds, temperaments, and sizes of dogs in all walks of life. I am well equipped to go on long walks, enjoy some playtime and enrichment, give lots of cuddles, and spend time loving your dog the way you do while you're gone! I am working part-time and have a flexible schedule to spend time with your pets! I am available during the day to give your pups the loving they need in your absence, whatever that may be. I am a capable caregiver with a lot of personal experience. I prioritize maintaining the rhythm and routine your pets prefer, whether that be long walks, the safety of a crate, enriching play time, or lots of lovin'. I am a quick learner and I am intentional in how I go about giving your dog what they need. I can manage medicine, and most special needs, just let me know in advance!
“Bella was kind enough to meet me before becoming our new walker and has been great with our pets! Cowboy gets his exercise and we can definitely tell he got good love and attention while we were out as well as attention to our kitty. Only utilized her a few times so far but has been very reliable which we really appreciate. ☺️”

About: I LOVE animals! I have had dogs and cats my entire life. My animals are very well taken care of. They are like children to me. You will never need to worry about your pet, as I will treat them like my own. I currently work at the Henry Ford Allegiance Health, where I have been for 28 years. I am a receptionist, and enjoy interacting with people. I go above and beyond to make the patients experience the best that it can be! I am married and have 3 amazing kids. I have been married for 22 years. It is time for this momma to find something more to do outside of the house. I currently work 8 hour shifts. My children are adults, so I have all the time in the world! My goal is to have you go on vacation and not worry about your pet! I would prefer to watch pets in your home, due to having 3 dogs of my own. I would spend as much time as I need to with them. They will be treated like my own!
About: Not only have I grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, I have extensive dog sitting experience. Throughout all 4 years of college (and beyond), I dog sat for a family with 3 dogs of various sizes. They travel a lot, so I often stay at their house for days/weeks at a time. Additionally, I volunteer at the local animal shelter so I spend a lot of time caring for the shelter pups as well! I have a pretty consistent schedule! I work remote every weekday except for Tuesday, so I'm available all day on those days as well as the weekends. Tuesdays I work in the office from 8-4, but I have the ability to leave and let the dog(s) out during my lunch break at around noon. When I'm house sitting, my number one priority is that the pet is as comfortable as possible. I try to keep the same routines that they are used to doing with their person. Additionally, if I'm staying in someone's home for a prolonged period of time, I always make sure to respect their space and leave it looking better than I found it!
About: I was a long time dog owner before my best friend Murphy passed away. Have owned cats even longer. Not ready for a new dog yet myself but would love to help out you and your fur babies! I work M-F 9-6 but with lunch hours I can drop in at a reasonable time during the day typically. Also have a side gig on the weekends but happy to work with you on a schedule we can all agree to! I trained my last dog from a puppy to an adult, with a real calming presence and patience to help. Also familiar with giving medication to cats and dogs alike
About: Ever since I was a child I've been taking care of both cats and dogs. I can take care of your friends in any condition! I also specialize in command training alongside discipline in puppies!! I currently work part time at Meijer in the grocery department. My schedule consists of working Friday-Monday or Thursdays-Monday. I work the morning shift for the store which is 4am-12pm. Which will give me the rest of the day to play and care for your furry family members!! If you have more than one furry friend and can easily separate them if needed and make sure they are both calm with each other if they are in the same area watched very carefully. If they need to be crated I can do that too. I will make sure to my fullest ability for your pet to be safe around each other and me during the process.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 400 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Onondaga. 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 Onondaga. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
