“Erin took excellent care of my cats while I was away. She sent me daily pictures and updates, played with the kitties, refilled their water, and cleaned their litterboxes. My cats absolutely love her! She’s reliable and communicates well. I highly recommend her!”
About: I am an experienced and trained dog walker for all sizes. I walk with confidence and the dogs sense it. I am licensed and insured. I’m currently working part time. I have plenty of time to share nature with your dog. I am also a hiker, so I can walk and walk and walk… I currently have 4 indoor cats with 8 bowls and 4 litter boxes. Two of them are taking medicine and a supplement that I have to add to their food. One has a chronic nasal issue, he has liquid medicine I give him. I care for others in their home .
“Cassidy did a wonderful job caring for our cat Loca and our saltwater fish, she’s a good communicator covered all the bases She hung out with Loca and read her book, kept the place tidy and even fed the wild birds. She’s dependable, polite and super caring. Loved working with her!!”
“Caroline stepped right in as a wonderful help to our Scottish terrier puppy Daisy! My mom in law had needed to cut back on the days she watches Daisy while I am teaching Art. Luckily I found Caroline quickly and her great reviews surely are correct :)! Daisy is already happily warming up to Caroline as Daisy is working on getting used to new people. Caroline already has been working in ways to get Daisy comfortable and calmer :)”
“Keira was fantastic! My cat loved her immediately, and after our intro visit, I was undoubtedly comfortable leaving him in her care. She was incredibly communicative, took tons of pictures, and provided detailed updates each day. I will absolutely be going to her for my future pet-sitting needs.”
About: I have experience caring for pets through both professional work and personal ownership. I currently provide dog walking and pet care through Wag!, where I’ve worked with dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, including senior dogs and more active breeds. I’ve also had the opportunity to build trust with repeat clients by providing dependable, compassionate care. As a proud cat mom to two cats, I understand the importance of patience, routine, and recognizing each pet’s unique personality. In addition, I’ve volunteered with a cat rescue, where I cared for cats with a wide range of temperaments, cleaned enclosures, socialized cats, and administered oral and topical medications when needed. I also spent a year working at a family-owned pet store that specialized in dogs, cats, and exotic animals, giving me hands-on experience with daily animal care and pet wellness. My goal is to provide every pet with a safe, loving, and stress-free experience while giving pet parents peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. Since I also drive, I’m able to reliably travel to visits, walks, and drop-ins. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to each week. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I believe pets feel happiest in their own home, so I take the time to learn their schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, and any special instructions before each visit. I always ensure doors, gates, and harnesses are secure, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and playtime, and treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’m a current veterinary student with over 10 years of hands on animal care experience, including working in veterinary medicine in Arizona. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, and medical needs, and I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring for health concerns, and supporting both puppies and senior pets. I also have two dogs of my own a senior dog and a high-energy Australian Shepherd so I understand the patience, structure, and attention different pets need. Whether your dog loves slow, relaxed walks or needs lots of activity and stimulation, I’ve got it covered. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize both their safety and happiness, so you can feel confident they’re in knowledgeable and caring hands I’m a veterinary student with hands on animal care experience, so my availability varies depending on classes during the semesters. Besides classes and attending to my own pets, we can discuss flexible scheduling. Please reach out prior as my calendar may not always reflect my availability. I provide attentive, reliable care during dog walks and drop in visits, following all instructions closely, feeding, medications, or any special needs while keeping pets safe and comfortable. I understand pet behavior and body language, so I can respond calmly and appropriately in any situation. I focus on creating a secure and stress-free experience for every pet. While I’m not offering overnight stays at this time, every walk and visit is designed to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they deserve, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away.
About: My first job was as a dog walker when I was 12! I have grown up with cats and dogs - caring for them from puppies/kittens through to their golden years. I have also dog/house sat for a large rescue + their several senior cats! My goal is to get to know each pet I interact with so that me and your pet can enjoy our time together. Furry friends are family and I treat them as such. I have also volunteered at 2 different rescues over the past several years helping care for cats as well as walk and play with dogs of all ages. I am currently finishing my last year of medical school so my schedule is not completely free. However, I do typically have evenings, weekends, and a random day off during the week! I get my current schedule 1 month at a time and am happy to accommodate outside my scheduled hospital shifts. I am very respectful of others rules for their home and their pets. I am a tidy person who hates messes in my own home so wouldn't leave them in anyone else's.
About: Hi, I’m Mindy — I run MindySits 🐾 I treat every pet like my own, simple as that. I’m patient, reliable, and pay attention to what each dog actually needs. Beyond pet sitting, I’m deeply involved in the rescue community and serve as a Foster Manager with BARRK Rescue, where I help oversee placements, guide fosters, and support dogs coming from difficult or uncertain backgrounds. This experience has given me a strong understanding of behavior, decompression, and how to meet each dog exactly where they are. Whether it’s walks or overnight care, I keep things calm, consistent, and make sure your pet is comfortable and well cared for. I’ll also keep you updated so you’re never wondering how things are going. Dependable care and a happy dog that’s always the goal 💛🐶 Hi! I work a hybrid schedule, home 2 days a week. My husband is home so your pup will rarely be alone. I have always been happiest with a dog close by. I live with my husband, daughter, and our dog Willie 🐾 We’re a calm, dog-loving home and I just really enjoy having animals around. I also help care for a senior dog, so I’m patient, gentle, and pay attention to what each dog needs. I’m easygoing but attentive, and I make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable while they’re with me

“My husband and I met Amya when we were at a routine vet visit with our beautiful cat Hailey. We were instantly amazed at how well Hailey responded to her. Hailey typically feels threatened by people she doesn’t know, yet was calmed by Amya’s presence. We knew that we wanted to hire her to help us administer oral medication‘s to our furbaby. She gave us a link to her Rover account and we hired her that very night.. Amya is a beautiful human being and we’re blessed to have met her.”
“Lilian was great. She took very good care of our two cats and always provided nice pics and good updates. Our cats were definitely comfortable with her. I definitely would book her services in the future.”
About: Hi my name is Saige, and I’m a college student and have been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a senior dog with diabetes who I help care for, including giving his insulin, keeping up with his feeding schedule, and making sure he gets the extra attention he needs as he gets older. I also have two cats and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, turtles, and other pets. I’m also an equestrian and have been riding and caring for horses for years, so I’m very comfortable handling animals and understanding their individual needs. Whether your pet is young and energetic, older and needs a little extra care, or just wants lots of attention and cuddles, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! As a college student, my schedule gives me a good amount of flexibility throughout the week and on weekends. I’m used to balancing school with caring for my own pets, so pet care is already a normal part of my everyday routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care throughout the week, and I’m happy to work with each owner to find times that fit their pet’s normal schedule and routine. I know every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I always try to keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow the routine and instructions you leave for me, whether that includes feeding, walks, medications, playtime, litter boxes, or just spending some time with them and keeping them company. I’m comfortable with pets that need lots of attention and activity as well as those that would rather relax or have their own space. I’ll also send pictures and updates so you can check in and know your pet is doing well!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Oyster Bay
Vivian did an outstanding job caring for our cats over the holiday, including one that needed daily medication. She is reliable and followed instructions to a T, and you can tell that she is experienced with animals and their specific needs. I definitely recommend her for anyone in need of a pet sitter!
I cannot recommend Tori enough! Leaving my cats for two weeks was something I was really anxious about, but she made me feel completely at ease from the very beginning. She was incredibly reliable, attentive, and caring, and I could tell my cats were genuinely comfortable and happy with her (even one of my cats who is scared of everyone, liked her!) she has such good energy and she kept me updated throughout my entire trip, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to actually relax and enjoy being away without constantly worrying about them. It’s such a huge relief to find someone you truly trust with your pets, especially for such a long trip. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and everything exactly as it should be. I’m so grateful for the care she gave them and will absolutely be using her again. If you’re nervous about leaving your pets, she is exactly the kind of person you want taking care of them!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Oyster Bay is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $40 per visit.

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 .
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 , 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 .

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.
