“Amanda was absolutely wonderful and I recommend her to anyone that needs proper care for their animals while they are away. She not only took great care of my cat but also kept the house clean and brought the mail in. I truly appreciated coming home to a happy cat and clean home. Thank you Amanda :)!”

“Gabby was great with communicating when my kitty wasn't eating his meds with his wet food. She was able to pivot and give him pills my mouth instead. Will definitely have her watch my kitties again in the future!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. We have always had at least one dog in the house if not more. In the past 6 years I have helped my parents to puppy train twice. I love dogs unconditionally, but I am not afraid to show a little tough love when needed. I’m currently going back to school and attend a lot of local sporting events but I still make it a priority to take my dog for a walk daily. Whether we fit in a walk before I leave in the morning or in-between class and a game, I know how much she loves her walks. I also make sure to give her ample play time when I am home. I make sure that whether the pet is in a fenced in yard or not I am always keeping an eye on them when outside. I always respect the clients wishes regarding their animal being on furniture, in what rooms, and such on.

“Emily did a great job house and cat sitting for us while we were out of the country for a month. She sent us frequent updates on the cats with pictures and let us know immediately if she had any questions around the house. Everything was very clean when we got back - she’d even started the dishwasher! - and the cats seem to be in good spirits and good shape. We would absolutely hire her again.”

I am currently going to school and starting my own life coaching business. I have a very open schedule as I am taking online classes. I am a rule follower. I always make sure that communication is clear and that I understand the needs of the pets.

About: I genuinely love spending time with animals and taking care of them. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from shy cats to playful puppies. Very reliable, I also enjoy capturing fun moments and sharing photos with theirs owners. I currently work full time, but I am available in the morning and evening as well as the weekend. Especially on the weekends I am very flexible to spend time with your furry friend. I have two kittens at home, they are either flying off the walls or napping right next to me. Taking care for your pet, I am very detailed with instructions and ensure everything requested is completed.

About: I own a Husky mix named Prisma who is turning 3 this year. She is quite energic and also epileptic. She is my daily experience. However I have sat for dog a bit bigger and much smaller! That includes Shihztus, Rottweilers, Golden Retrievers, Corgis, and Border Collies. I'm patient and responsible. My goal in any work field, but especially with your loved ones and possessions, is being reliable and communicating. This is what I find in my experience to be key for providing the best care and peace of mind. I work full time as a receptionist Mon - Fri, 8 to 4:30. This provides a lot of morning visits and overnight potential. Evening walks would works great as well. For specific requests, I can even dip into PTO to make the right situation work if a mid day visit is required during the work week. My Saturdays and Sundays are fully open at this time. I'm very patient and observant when interacting with pets of different personalities. Once informed on how you'd like your loved one to be cared for, I will do so in that manner. An obvious statement, but you'd be surprised how important that is to be said. If unsure or uncertain of care, we can brainstorm together as well to make sure I'm the correct sitter for the job.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life especially bigger dogs like German shepherds. But I recently got a black lab golden mix and would love to bring him over for a puppy play date:) I’m currently working full time but I can make a visit either before or after I get out to play with your pets and make sure they get the care they need! It would definitely brighten up my day as well before going in and give me something to look forward to after:) I have a friendly golden lab mix to help keep your fur babies company if you would like. He loves to play and is such a sweetheart

About: I’m a responsible and attentive pet sitter who understands how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry little buddies. I’ve had experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to medium-sized dogs and large dogs, so I’m comfortable adjusting to different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. My friends joke that I’m a “dog magnet” because dogs tend to warm up to me very quickly. One of my favorite parts of being around dogs is the energy exchange that happens through play and companionship. I really enjoy building that connection and making them feel comfortable and cared for. I will follow your care instructions closely and do my best to keep your pet’s routine consistent while you’re away. And I’m happy to send regular updates and photos at whatever frequency works best for you. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can usually accommodate both weekday and weekend visits. I know pets do best with consistency, so I make an effort to keep walks, meals, potty breaks, and check-ins as close to their usual routine as possible. I’m happy to discuss timing in advance so we can find what works best for your pet. I know how much trust it takes to have someone care for your pet and enter your home. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding routines, walking preferences, medications, crate or door routines, and any special precautions you’d like me to take. I will always make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and settled before I leave.

About: Hi there! My name has since changed to *Romeo* as I am queer :) Ive had experience with all sorts of animals since I was a young! My heart however has always lied with dogs. Ive lived with, trained, and taken care of dogs from age 15. Professionally, I am currently a counselor at Camp Bow Wow! I’ve been working there for over a year now, learning and applying a wide range of skills. In this role I’ve learned some key skills on how to ensure companions are safe and happy: 1. Body language: I observe everything from your dog’s head to tail to minimize reactivity due to human- animal misunderstandings 2. Health indicators: although I’m not a vet, I was trained to recognize irregular symptoms a dog may be displaying such as stool texture and consistency, body temperature, excessive panting and drooling, gum color, etc. Anything your dog may be struggling with from itchy skin to something greater, I’ll notify you right away! 3. Communication: parents love hearing about their babies and seeing them happy and comfortable! By regular communication, this allows me to get clear instructions to follow, assess any changes needed in care or routine, and stay up to date in case of any rapid changes or emergencies. In addition, what sets me apart is my artistic attention to detail, which allows me to adapt to your dogs needs in a creative way. I like to challenge myself by finding ways to stimulate and enrich your dog while you are away! I’m very relaxed, quiet, and easygoing, but also spontaneous and go-with-the-flow should your dog get the zoomies! I’ll get mine out with him :) Lastly, I respect peoples spaces/ privacy and always clean up behind myself after using something in your space. I'd love to give your dog my unconditional love and undivided attention. Your baby is not just a pet, they are our best friends who depend on us. So Relax while you’re away, and leave the fun stuff to me! Looking for regular/ recurring clients :) I currently work part time on weekdays, twice a day for up to 7 hours. This is subject to change within the next few weeks to ensure I have time to House sit efficiently. Please reach out to me with questions about this, and I’d be happy to negotiate! I love being outside, especially in the company of some furry friends. I understand that your dog may either be a nature pet or a couch potato, and I'm able to adapt to your pets needs depending on their personality. I'm clean, quiet, and active when need be. Cleanliness is a priority for me. Cleaning up waste properly and right away is a must, including picking up poop during walks.

“Corwin took very good care of my two 15 year old Munchkin Cats. I had him do overnights since Mochi, the female needs medication daily. I rarely go away more than 4 days and I was very comfortable leaving for over a week. Corwin sent me many photos and I could see how both cats loved him being around! I definitely would recommend Corwin to take care of your fur babies! 😻😻”

About: I have been a pet sitter, and dog-walker for 3 years in Maine. I am extremely caring and detail-oriented when taking care of new furry friends. I have raised Double Doodle and Goldendoodle puppies, and am happy to work on positive reinforcement training with young dogs! I am available for dog-walks at night after 5pm as well as open on the weekends for house sitting and checking in on pets while the owner is traveling. I am happy to evaluate the space where the pet sleeps, eats, and where the best areas for walks are in the neighborhood. For house-sitting appointments, a designated space to sleep is preferred to be able to care for the animal overnight as needed.

This was our first time using Rover, so I was a little hesitant about leaving our animal house in someone else’s hands. But after meeting her, I immediately felt much more at ease. She took such great care of our dogs and cats (and fish!), checked in consistently, and sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. She is so sweet, and we would absolutely have her back again!

Once again Amanda has come through for our three kitties. We had the longest ever trip away from them in Europe and she kept them happy and healthy. This was a bit of a challenge toward then end as the Canadian wildfires did not mix well with our allergic cat who was in a bit of a funk. We were in daily contact with Amanda and were able to change air filter settings and Hershey bounced back in time for our return home. What a relief, and everyone appreciated seeing our detailed report cards and photos as we travelled. We love working with Amanda!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Penfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Penfield is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 142 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Penfield. 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 87% 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 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.
