“Abby has helped me out last minute a few times and I’ve been so grateful for her help! Our anxious dog, Buddy, knows her name now! He gets so excited when I say “Abby is coming soon” :)”
“Helena was amazing! She stopped in on our dog twice a day while we were out of town- we got updates every visit with pictures! It was such a wonderful experience I cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember! I started dog walking at 16 and have been volunteering at local animal shelters since I was 18, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds. Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and even reptiles, so I’m comfortable handling different personalities and care needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to treat your pets with the utmost care and ensure they’re happy and safe while you’re away. I work full-time so I offer all services, but for house sitting and house boarding, I can provide potty breaks between 4-8 hours. I always treat your home with the same respect and care as I would my own. While caring for your pets, I make sure their routines stay consistent—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just relaxing together. I’m attentive to details like keeping feeding areas tidy, cleaning up after pets, and ensuring your home stays secure while you’re away.
“Jada is excellent. Quick and painless with watching my beloved babies. Toward the end of the visit my VERY standoffish girl that usually stays away from people offered some cuddles which was pretty much a stamp of approval. Attentive, quick, and made sure to come on time to feed my babies. Will be booking again.”
About: I have always had at least one cat my whole life and since I was 10 years old, one (to several) dogs. Spending time with my dogs and husband is my favorite activity. I also have experience with guinea pigs, hamsters, and turtles. I work a full-time job from home and I am able to make my own schedule, I just need some heads up to accommodate a schedule change. I love my full time job, however, it is a desk job and I am really looking to get out more and would love to enjoy some walks with your dog! I am happy to do a meet and greet so that both you and your pup can feel comfortable with me and I know all of the important details to keep them safe and happy.
“It was our first time leaving, Daphne, our cat alone for a weekend and we were apprehensive in leaving her with a sitter. Patricia took the time to come to our house and meet Daphne. When it came time to leave for our trip Patricia made sure to send us a whole bunch of pictures of her and Daphne playing and having a good time. Patricia made our first experience using Rover effortless and made us feel comfortable while we enjoyed our weekend. We will be sure to check if Patricia is available next time we book a trip.”
“Kathy instantly bonded with Hanna, which was great because Hanna always came to her for play and petting during the drop-in visits. Kathy was responsible and caring. She is a great sitter and loves animals. I am requesting her for all of my trips. I highly recommend her! Thank you!”
“Briana is the best! My pups loved her and so did I! She’s on time, took great care of my 2 dogs & sends great pictures & updates! Will definitely use her again very soon!!”
“SUCH a great sitter! We loved how Angelica brought out the best in our anxious kittie by patiently introducing herself and not pushing her anxiety meds. So on the ball with great pics and summaries.”
About: Over 10 years for both me and my husband in raising younger dogs, adult aged, and even senior dogs for our entire lives! My skillset as elementary teacher has trained me well in patience, caring and all characteristics needed to provide for your pet family! Excited to meet your furry friends. Currently working from home/ home summer break as elementary teacher, so I can provide full time dog care! Spouse is also home often to assist and care for our guests. I have one dog of my own that loves company! We have no problem with the pets on the couch, in the bed, etc. I will send pictures periodically and not hesitate to contact of any emergencies. Excited to host your family members.
“Alyssa was responsive and took great care of our cat. She sent us cute pictures of him during each visit, which is so nice. We'll definitely rebook with Alyssa next time we have to travel!”
“Mike is great - you can tell he really enjoys being around pets and our cat was no exception! He made sure she was well taken care of and we came home to a happy happy cat! Thanks again!!”
About: I have been taking care of pets as long as I can remember. As young as 12 I was petsitting cats and rabbits on my street. As I got older, I watched the dogs of family and friends for vacations. It is something I’ve continued to do and love throughout my adult years. I have handled all sized dogs, puppies, and senior pets with medication needs. I have become a well-trusted and loving pet sitter within my community. I am currently working part-time but am available in the evening for walks. I am free for drop in visits morning and night but at work for majority of the day. I am very aware of pets needs and will keep the environment they occupy free of any potential hazards. When the weather permits, I like to keep the pets I watch active and spend time outdoors.
“She is the first cat sitter we’ve ever had that managed to see, feed, and pet one of our cats who is terrified of everyone except me and my husband. As a consequence, she is the best cat sitter we’ve ever had!”
“Couldn’t have been a better experience with Sara. Excellent, super responsive communication. Went above and beyond with our cat to notice he had a lil scratch from a previous neighborhood tussle and applied some ointment for us while we were out of state. Contacted us/emergency contact etc. sent great pics and updates. Would rate higher than 5 stars if I could!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Penfield
Max & Bern are still walking through the house looking for Sara & Nathan. They don't remember our names. What wonderful people, putting us at ease with loving pics & daily updates. We returned home and Max & Bern kept forgetting our names. Still ask and look for Sarah & Nathan around noon. Made our mini vacation more enjoyable knowing this wonderful couple was more than taking care of Max and Bern's needs with the love going both ways. Couldn't ask for more. Meow Out!!!
Dion took fantastic care of our cat and dog when dropping in for a walk, or playtime, or putting them to bed! My wife and I loved getting her notes and photos with each Drop-In visit and we could tell the pets both loved her care (although our cat needed a few visits to warm up). I would recommend Dion to any and all of my friends for any pet sitting needs!
Leaving my boy and my girl isn’t easy but knowing that Heather is taking care of them made it less stressful because she does such a great job and I know they are in good hands. Easy communication and thorough updates as well as handling my grumpy guy with ease. Highly recommend Heather if you need someone to care for your fur babies.
My husband had always make the arrangements with Ryder so I was a little apprehensive taking care of it myself. But couldn’t have been easier. Melissa was great. All of her reports were fun to read. Thanks Melissa and Rover. Little Girl was well taken care of while I was away.
Quinn has sat for us twice now, and we will continue to work with her! She continues to be a responsible sitter who communicates well and provides care according to instructions. She is caring of animals and takes pride in her work. We have 2 adult cats. Both are healthy but our older cat is high anxiety and tends to vomit while we are away. Her job for us includes feeding, water refresh, cleaning up after our cats, and litter box. Both times we have used Quinn, we have come home to a clean house and happy cats. We highly recommend her services.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Penfield on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,568 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 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.

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.
