About: My 3 kids and I run a small business caring for animals mostly dogs. All 3 are in their 20’s. My son, Adam does most of the walks and house sitting, I handle the boarding. My reviews are not only for me but for my boys as well. I come from a long line of animal lovers and grew up with many dogs, cats, birds, hamsters. Animals are my life! They offer unconditional love and rely on us to give them love, affection and to meet all of their basic needs. I own my own home on a private dead end street. When your fur babies are here, they are part of our family and are never left alone. There is always someone at home. My mission is to make sure all pups in my care, feel safe, loved and happy. I recently left my job in the medical field. I’m spending my time now with my adult children and my dogs. Life is too short to not do what you love everyday Safety is a priority in my home and I live on a private street with only two houses so there is absolutely zero traffic here

“Melaina made our international trip away from our two girl cats so worry-free. She was so responsive to every message and went above and beyond, taking her own initiative to clean the litter box and throw away trash as if it was her own house and her own pets. Our cats were nice and comfy under her care. Book her!”

About: I have loved and cared for dogs my whole life. I am starting my journey to become a trainer. I would love the opportunity to care for your amazing best friend(s). Dogs are amazing loving creatures and not one is the same! I have two rescue dogs of my own. One is Miss (Queen) Kona an Australian Cattle dog mix who my family agrees is just about perfect. She is the reason we adopted Buddy, he is a special needs dog with anxiety and a multitude of issues we have been working through. He has a very sweet side to him that always gives us hope and makes us love him more. I would love the opportunity to help you with your dog sitting needs. Contact me and we can talk! I am currently off for the summer since I work in a school. I can spend time caring for and playing with fur babies. I can visit up to 4 times a day or have them stay at my house. I am available full-time from August 15th to August 29th. After the 29th, I will be available weekends only, Friday evening to Sunday evening. I have a fenced-in yard for exercise and fun. I no longer have dogs at home, so your pet will be the center of my attention! When I visit, I will make sure the water bowl is full and clean. I will feed at the proper times and clean up any messes. The rest of the time it will be spend time having fun with your pet.

About: Hi! I'm Jenn, an animal lover based offering attentive, reliable care for your dogs and cats. As a cat owner myself, I understand the patience, routines, and little details that keep pets happy and comfortable. I've cared for dogs of all sizes: feeding, walking, playtime, and plenty of affection and I'm comfortable administering medications, so pets with special needs are always welcome. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, drop-in visits while you're away, or a cozy overnight stay in my apartment, I'll treat them with love and patience. You'll get timely updates, photos, and real peace of mind while you're away. I'm also fully bilingual in English and Spanish. ¡Hablo español, así que también atiendo con gusto a familias hispanohablantes! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority. I'd love to meet you and your furry family member! I have a full time job during weekdays. With 3 on site office days and 2 remote days. I'm available weekdays after 5pm and weekends. In my home (boarding): I keep a clean, calm, secure apartment with no other resident pets, so your dog or cat has a quiet space and my full attention. I keep doors and windows secured, never leave a pet unattended in unfamiliar surroundings, and follow the feeding, walking, and medication schedule you provide. Leashes always go on before we step outside. In your home (drop-in visits & walks): I follow your instructions exactly — feeding, fresh water, litter or potty breaks, playtime, and any medications. I respect your home, lock up carefully, and leave everything as I found it. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and stick to safe, familiar routes. For every service: I send photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe, I stay reachable throughout the booking, and I always do a free meet-and-greet first. If anything ever seems off with your pet's health or behavior, I'll contact you right away and follow your emergency plan.

“Marion watched out kitty when we went out of town for 10 days. She was an excellent communicator and kept us up to date on all of our cats needs. He came to live time with her when she came over. She was also punctual and communicated when timing needed to shift slightly. All in all a very positive experience for us and our kitty of course.”

I currently have availability M-F 3:30-9pm during the week, the weekends I have much more flexibility for any time of the day or night! I have a fenced yard at my home with lots of space to play outside! My home is also right by a park that is very friendly for pets. I can also crate animals in your home if needed.

About: I have fostered a 4 month old poodle for 2 months. I’d say I personally have more experience babysitting than pet sitting but that being said, I have a huge heart for nurturing and caring I am currently working a part time job but my schedule is pretty flexible so I have a lot of time on my hands! My daily/weekly routine just consists of working and hanging out with friends! Unfortunately I can not host pet sitting at my home for my land owner doesn’t allow pets inside, but if I were to work at your home, I would act accordingly with respect!

About: I grew up caring for both big and small dogs (and horses!), so I love dogs of all ages and sizes! I promise to treat your furry family like my own while helping to maintain your pet's daily routine, including walks, meals, play (in the home and/or at dog parks), baths, cuddles, and whatever else your pet loves. I currently work as a research assistant at Columbia University/ New York-Presbyterian, so I spend most of my day talking with people. Here, I continue to learn the value and importance of connecting with others. As your pet's sitter or walker, I prioritize communication and comfortability with you to ensure that you feel excited about your pets care. I know I am! I currently work as a research assistant at Columbia University/ New York-Presbyterian. I spend my mornings at the hospital from about 10am-2pm. On any day, I am available either early in the morning or afterwards for walks or play time with your pups. On weekends, I am available for boarding. Every third week, I work from home and would love to board and/or care for your furry family for the week. It's priority to me to maintain the routine your pup knows and loves. I hope to get to know you and your pet so I can incorporate your pet's favorite walking routes, parks, toys, food, and general activity into the care I provide. On a side note, I am a distance runner! If you would like your pet to get some extra energy out, I would love to run with them.

About: For almost all of my life I have had either beloved cats or dogs. I can do long walks or cat playtime. I am also an animal advocate. My small dog with a big friendly personality, who recently passed at age 14, was epileptic and I kept her close. We were besties. I got to spend a lot of time with other dogs with her. Before that I always had cats, I get them, and I find them all cute and hilarious. I have a flexible schedule, mornings are best, right now Mon-wed.. Can take a long walk or just hang out with your animal. Weekends are great. I live in Somers and work part time in Pleasantville. So anywhere in between is great. Will not be caring for dogs in my home at this time, unless very small/tiny and quiet. I can come to your house happy to travel if for a longer stay.

About: I grew up caring for 2 dogs and 2 cats, as well as pet sitting for friends and family! Even though some have passed away now, the fur babies always leave a print on my heart. While I am unable to house pets where I reside, my heart is ready to meet new friends on my traveling journeys! I work remotely as and English/ESL teacher, so my schedule remains flexible to meet all pet needs and responsibilities. I have yet to run into a schedule that I could not tailor to my current workload and personal needs. Due to my flexibility, I have no issues waking up early and being around for specific care requests that are needed through the day. All of my previous engagements have felt confident and felt pleased with the attention, safety and comfort I am able to provide with the consistent presence.

I have 3 dogs, a 2 year old Bull Terrier female named Koko, an almost 2 year old Cockapoo named Nala and a handsome boy named Zane that is a Bernedoodle Pit-Bull mix.

I only my be unavailable for services between 5pm-7pm as I may be taking my kids to extracurricular activities. I have 2 dogs at home so I welcome pets that get along with other animals. I have a 1.7 acre unfenced yard and love walks in my neighborhood and playtime in my yard. My dogs are crated during the night and when I am not home. I welcome pets that sleep in the crate during the night but also can accommodate well trained sleepers that need a bed or sofa. I can train your pup with simple commands and can give a bath as needed (for extra cost). I do have a dog kennel outside that I can use to let the pets I care for safely run around and play with each other.

Sarah was wonderful watching my cats while I was away! She kept them well-fed, entertained, and happy, and checked in regularly with updates. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. We’ll definitely be booking Sarah again — next time for dog walking too

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Palisades

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 12,341 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Palisades. 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 .

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Palisades. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 , 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.
