“Emily was great with my shy cat - kind and responsible. She did a thorough job with the cleaning and feeding, and went out of her way to make him comfortable. I highly recommend her.”
“I have booked Camila several times. She is great—always on time, super reliable, and really sweet with our yorkie! Camila makes everything easy and stress‑free. Highly recommend!”
“Richard and Karen were fantastic!! It was our first time leaving them with someone else and we were nervous, but upon meeting both Richard and Karen at a meet and greet I was very much at ease. Everything was above our expectations. We plan to use them again when we visit our niece.”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a child! My love for animals has motivated me to enroll in vet tech school, starting this fall. I specialize in small mammals, such as rabbits and hamsters, and have owned my own. I have also cared for guinea pigs, parakeets, and aquariums. For dogs, I have experience working with both small and large breeds! I regularly look after my neighbor's dog, and love every opportunity I get to spend time with her. For cats, I have primarily done drop in visits, but have experience with administering medicine to shy cats by building trust over time. I currently do not own pets of my own, so I will be able to give your pet my full attention and care! I am currently spending my summer before starting vet tech school working part time, volunteering at local shelters, and shadowing at clinics. I work weekends, but can still do an early morning or evening visit if needed! Your pet's comfort and safety is my number one priority and I will care for them as if they are my own! Communication and trust is important to me, so I will update you regularly on their happiness and health.
“It was such a relief to be able to go on vacation and know our cats weren't just being fed, but truly taken care of. Stacy was very communicative and we could tell she made good friends with our cats - they still ask when shes coming back. She came over in advance to get a lay of the land and meet them and learn all their hiding spots. She even took the litter when she left so we wouldn't have to deal with it. Stacy really was wonderful and knowing our cats were being loved by someone with such great experience while we were away was such a gift!”
About: I am currently employed as a pet sitter, taking care of various pets while their owners are away at work, or on vacation. I love your animals as if they are my own. I will care for your pets and love them as part of my family. I take responsibility for entering people's homes and ensuring the proper care of their pets. I can be trusted with providing animals the proper medication for their individual needs. I will ensure that pets are safe and given adequate attention when their owners are away from home. Pets are welcome in my home or I can care for them at their home. I am very flexible to make it convenient and easy for you and your fur babies. I'm currently working part time and I make my own schedule so I'll have plenty of time to give your pet the attention that they deserve. Please keep me up to date on what special care your pet will need when caring for in your own home and where the treats are located :)
About: From sleepless nights with my own puppy (ever since he was only a few weeks old) to now guiding him through all the stages of his life, I know what it takes to provide consistent and reliable care. I’ve learned how to respond to a dog’s emotional and physical needs, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Always. Currently a student at Columbia back for summer break, so my schedule is super varied. Please send me any and all requests, regardless of day/time! I have no harsh rules for caring for your pet at your home whatsoever! If they need any special accommodation, just let me know beforehand :)
About: After the recent loss of my sweet toy poodle Clarice, I've been excited to care for a beloved pet once again. As well as having her for years, providing the care required for a small purebred (with purebred health problems), I've earned such accolades as caring for a senior Shih Tzu through end-of-life, and earning the trust of a roommate's skittish black rescue kitty. I have some experience with larger dogs, like training hyper pitbull mixes to settle down on walks, successfully cooking dinner next to mouthy doodles, and comforting anxious poodle mixes. Currently, I own an affectionate and opiniated polydactyl Maine Coon mix... or something. We're not quite sure what part of his genes make him grow like Clifford the Big Red... Cat. I have a particular talent for crafty dogs and cats, as many of the pets I've known have been too smart for their own good (i.e. a doodle smart enough to find the steel wool so he can eat it). Additionally, my other job is seated all day, so if your dog likes walks that are more like intermittent runs, I just might be the walker for you. I'm currently working on a very flexible schedule that leaves me with afternoon and late-night availability on weekdays, and an open schedule on the weekends. I am excited to give your pet plenty of my attention and give your home care as well. It is important to me to leave your space cleaner than I found it, when it comes to pet-related debris.
About: I’ve had 6 dogs in my lifetime and of all shapes, sizes and personalities. I have never met a dog that I haven’t gotten along with and have been caring for mine and my friends dogs and cats when needed since I was 10. I trained each one of my dogs and take great care to respect them as the magnificent boys and girls they are. I really love animals of all kinds and meeting new ones is always the highlight of my day, and I look forward to meeting more! I’m currently applying to graduate school and studying for standardized testing, so my schedule can be as flexible as needed to accommodate for yours or your pets needs. I’m quite active with my dogs so I’m more than happy to deal with any energy levels in animals. That being said my care revolves around keeping your pets as happy as possible, and if you are ok with it I have a fully fenced in garden and three lovely dogs to keep them company!
About: Hi! My name is Anjané, and I have 4 years of professional pet care experience through pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, boarding, and house sitting. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, senior pets, and high-energy dogs. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality to help them feel comfortable and safe while you're away. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication throughout every booking so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving excellent care. My goal is to treat every pet like family and provide a safe, loving, and reliable experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care is my primary focus, and I build my schedule around the pets in my care. I provide consistent feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I am committed to keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are safe and happy while they are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, feeding instructions, medication schedules, and any special care requirements. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and smoke-free. For house sitting and drop-in visits, I treat every client’s home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I provide regular updates and photos throughout each stay.
“Candice was great! She took amazing care of Apollo and really helped while we were in a pinch for a dog walker. She is quick to respond which is a great plus!! Thank you Candice, I would 100% recommend!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities from calm, easygoing pups to nervous or strong dogs that sometimes think they’re training me on the leash. I stay calm in challenging situations and handle them safely without adding stress. I always follow owners’ instructions closely and keep routines consistent, but I’m also comfortable making quick, responsible decisions if something unexpected comes up. I’ve helped with medications, senior pets, and special diets when needed. I’m patient, attentive, and very observant with animals. I pay attention to changes in behavior, mood, and energy, and I always keep owners updated with photos and videos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, as I spend most of my time at home and can give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I’m available any day of the week, including weekends, and I’m always home overnight, which makes me a great fit for boarding and extended stays. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to each pet’s routine and provide a calm, home-like environment where pets feel safe and well cared for. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. Pets in my home are supervised most of the time and cared for in a calm, structured environment. If needed, I can separate pets or use a crate provided by the owner to ensure everyone feels safe. During walks, I always use the owner’s equipment and follow their preferences closely. Walks are kept calm and controlled, and I avoid crowded areas. Pets are never off-leash unless explicitly approved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strictly follow house rules and handle keys or access responsibly. I communicate promptly about any concerns and will contact a veterinarian immediately in urgent situations.
About: Large dogs are my specialty, I enjoy walking and playing with them. I have plenty of room to play in the back yard or go for a long walk on a nature trail. I have experience in kenneling, potty training and leash training dogs. I work full time but have every afternoon and weekend available. I would enjoy walking a pet after work and am available to do overnight care. I have a pet friendly and private apartment with a large private back yard. I am very close to the black river trail which is excellent for dog walking.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Peekskill
We cannot recommend Emily enough! She watched our cat, Bella, and completely blew us away with her care, thoroughness, and communication. It was so incredibly comforting to see how much genuine affection she showed our girl. Emily didn't just handle the basics; she went above and beyond. She kept up with Bella's precise feeding routine, mixed her wet food with a little water just the way she likes it, and meticulously washed out all her bowls every day. What we loved most was how well Emily understood Bella's vocal, sweet personality. She sent the most heartwarming, detailed updates that let us truly relax while we were away. If you are looking for a sitter who is reliable, deeply caring, and a fantastic communicator, hire Emily. We will absolutely be booking her again! Thank you so much, Emily!
Megan took very good care of our 3 cats. She followed all of the feeding and care instructions. She was very quick to respond and made sure to send us pictures of each kitty. We really appreciate that she took the time to clean the litter boxes and even took out our trash. We would definitely recommend her.
Candice was great with our senior dog and shy cat. She was always responsive and communicative, and sent great pics of our pets! I felt very comfortable that our pets were being looked after and cared for, and I would definitely each out to Candice in the future. I feel lucky to have found her!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Peekskill on Rover is $33.3 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of June 2026, there are 248 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Peekskill. 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
