“To say Leigh went above and beyond would be an understatement. She was excellent with my cat. Leigh is patient, accommodating, and was able to interact with my shy cat almost immediately. She pointed out some potential issues and gave suggestions on what to do. She was great, and I very highly recommend her!”

About: I am a just starting at Pace Law and missing my animals deeply. I have made a summer job the past few years dog sitting. I have a wide variety of experience, from caring for three 60lbs+ lap dogs for a week to three cats I would barely see. I love every animal like it is my own (smothered in love) and I make sure to take lots of pictures (I can’t help it!). I am starting my law school journey and I am looking to schedule in some animal time. I am completely free after 4 most days for walks or dinner time and have open weekends. I have lots of experience with animals of many different needs and can easily adapt to instruction. I will be sure to love your baby and provide care above and beyond.

“Jennalynn was awesome with Pepper. She is very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience with rescue dogs which is hard to find. I have a fearful reactive dog I recently adopted, so I had to give her 100 details about her background. Her communication to come up with an intro plan made things so much easier. I highly recommend Jennalynn for all dog needs!”

About: I’m a caring and dependable pet lover with experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I can help with dog walking, feeding, playtime, and keeping your pets company while you’re away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and will treat your furry family members as if they were my own.Your pets happiness, safety, and well being are always my priority. I am currently in college working for my Bachelor's in Nursing and I am currently taking evening classes, so morning schedules work for me as well as the afternoon.

About: I’ve long been the go-to sitter for friends and family, trusted to care for pets of all sizes and personalities as if they were my own. Growing up with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and fish, I developed a natural connection to animals and an appreciation for their unique traits. With a background in management consulting and supporting ultra-high-net-worth families, I bring a polished, organized, and reliable approach to every sit. I value calm, well-kept spaces and believe pets thrive in environments that feel intentional and nurturing. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I tend a thriving indoor plant collection and would be delighted to care for yours—pets and plants alike. With 10+ years of experience, I was able to jump right in on another home and pet sitting platform and earn multiple repeat clients. Although I’m newer to Rover, let’s connect and I’ll make sure you’re comfortable - ask as many questions as you’d like! I work remotely in the arts which gives me the flexibility to make your pets and home my top priority. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and health and have experience administering medications. At home, I share space with a 3 year old little betta fish who swims among clippings from my thriving plants. My green thumb is well-established—I’ve worked as both a florist and a gardener, and I maintain a lush collection of houseplants. Working in corporate America prepared me well with organization skills and the ability to prepare for any circumstance. I’ve managed global projects in multiple time zones and do whatever it takes to make sure everything is done right and safely. Having been a home owner, I understand the importance of safety and triaging anything regarding the integrity of the home. I make sure I have all contacts prior to any stay and understand what you’d like me to do.

About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a small kid! If you have 3 pups or more, I just charge for 2! When I turned 17 I worked at a doggy daycare called rover retreat, where I fell in love with taking care of dogs! I went to school in Colorado, my native state, for a couple of years, where I dog sat off and on. I decided to pick my life up and move to the city of Stamford with my to be closer with my girlfriend's family. I love to teach pups tricks and enrich the lives of all animals! Even if your pup is difficult or different, I can work with it:) I am experienced with puppies, seniors, diabetics, pets with medication. I've taught dogs how to run with a bicycle and how to do new tricks like handshake and wait. If you choose me, you're guaranteed someone with lots of experience and a big heart for your furry friend(s). My schedule is currently completely open for your pups' care!! I was in school for a couple of years in boulder, met a wonderful girl, and moved with her out east to the city of Stamford. I doordash other than dog sitting so I can easily accommodate. I watch over the client’s pup and give it all the affection and attention it needs while also maintaining decency and care for the space and all beings and things within.

About: I bring a unique blend of professional canine experience and true passion. As a K9 coordinator, I’ve worked with puppies, adults, seniors, and dogs with different temperaments. I offer foundational training for puppies, behavioral understanding, and specialized senior support. I treat every dog like family while still maintaining structure, safety, and trust. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I work with dogs every day as part of my K9 coordinator role. I’m already on a consistent schedule of training, enrichment, feeding, and structured play, so adding petsitting visits fits smoothly into my day. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, on the weekends and I plan my schedule to make sure each pet gets reliable, unrushed attention. I provide a secure, structured, and loving environment for every pet. Safety is always first doors are secured, hazards are removed, and pets are never left unattended in unsafe situations. I follow routines closely, provide appropriate care for age or health needs, and keep owners informed with regular updates. Pets under my care feel safe, comfortable, and wellloved.

She watered my plants, took in my mail and brought my trash to the curb, as well. I would recommend Hallie without hesitation and hopefully can utilize her expert services in the future.”

“Susan is wonderful! She was so kind and patient with our sweet but anxious 14-year-old cat that we felt comfortable going away. Susan was such a pleasure to deal with, and she was very responsive and dependable. She kept us in the loop after each drop-in, giving us all the details about her visit. We can’t thank Susan enough and would definitely ask her to cat sit again without any hesitation!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I’m an animal lover who understands that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to following your pet’s routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or extra cuddles. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently part time working! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals are a big part of my life. I make time each day for feeding, playtime, walks, attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. Since I have two cats of my own, I understand the importance of keeping a consistent routine and providing companionship, even when owners are away. I’m able to incorporate pet care into my schedule by dedicating time for visits, walks, check-ins, and giving each pet the attention they need. I enjoy spending time with animals and love being able to provide reliable, loving care for pets and peace of mind for their owners. I care for pets by creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while respecting their normal routines. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime, walks, and any special needs their pet may have. I understand that pets feel most comfortable when their routines stay consistent, so I do my best to make the experience as stress-free as possible. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, calm space where they can feel comfortable and receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Whether at my home or a client’s, I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they feel safe and loved.

About: I have always been an avid animal lover, especially a dog lover, and I have always owned dogs. I started dogsitting after I graduated from college to make some money, and I immediately fell in love with it. Being able to provide a loving environment while you're away is very important for the animals, and I strive to be the best at it. My skills include dog sitting, walking, playing, and cuddling. I will also take great care of your home and treat it with respect. I also think it is important to keep the client informed of what is going on so I do like to check in. I have experience in both dogsitting and house sitting and this would let me showcase that. I currently own a Cat and turtle and feed them daily. I also clean the litter box every two days. I also help clean the turtle tank. I would follow the walking schedule for each dog and also adhere to the feeding guidelines. For a cat I would also follow the feeding guidelines and cleaning.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I grew up with a family dog and have experience with daily responsibilities such as feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I currently care for my cat as well as two lizards and two turtles, so I’m comfortable managing different types of pets and their unique needs. I also helped care for my aunt’s Chihuahua for several months, walking and feeding him twice a day and making sure he was happy and comfortable. Being around animals has always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet with the same attention and care I give my own. My schedule is currently open on Fridays and Saturdays. I am generally available starting around 11 AM and prefer midday visits, but I’m happy to stay flexible and can keep my afternoons open later if needed to accommodate your pet’s schedule. For safety and comfort, I currently provide care in clients’ homes rather than boarding pets in my own home. I believe pets feel most relaxed in their familiar environment, so I focus on maintaining their usual routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life! I grew up with two dogs, three cats, and five hamsters, so there’s never been a dull moment! My Beagle, Argos, was my first best friend. He was full of energy, and we were practically inseparable! I also cared for him through his senior years, which taught me so much about patience and understanding older pets. Then came Sumo, our Chow Chow, who was the complete opposite! He acted more like a cat, loved his independence, and enjoyed long walks. I’ve also cared for my neighbor’s Pit Bull and a family member’s Australian Shepherd. I’ve even traveled all the way to Amsterdam to dog sit for family! I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters with both cats and dogs, where I gained experience working with stressed and nervous animals and learned how important patience and a gentle approach can be. From energetic pups to laid-back seniors, I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Big or small, I’ll treat your furry friend like my own, and I can’t wait to meet them! 🐾 I work remotely part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your furry friends! I’m available Monday through Thursday after 4 PM and have completely open availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m happy to work around their routine! I have a large, fully fenced backyard where your furry friends can safely run around, play, and get plenty of exercise! Outdoor playtime is always supervised, so your pet will never be left outside alone. I love spending time with animals, whether it’s playing fetch, going for walks, or just relaxing and giving them lots of cuddles! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I’ll follow their usual feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions you provide. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and make sure your furry friend feels just as loved and cared for as they would with you. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates throughout the day so you know they’re in good hands!

About: I’ve been caring for pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs of my own and a cat for 12 years, giving me over 25 years of hands-on experience providing daily care, companionship, and love. Over the years, I’ve also cared for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors, gaining experience with animals of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I genuinely love animals and enjoy building trust with them, whether that means active playtime, long walks, or simply keeping them company. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone reliable, attentive, and kind, and I take that responsibility seriously. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM, but I’m available for evening walks and drop-in visits after work. I’m also available for overnight house sitting during the week and on weekends, as long as your pet is comfortable being home while I’m at work. My weekends are generally flexible, and I’m always happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you and your furry family members! I provide pet care in the owner’s home and follow each pet’s established routine and preferences to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Caring for pets in their own home helps reduce stress and allows them to stay in a familiar environment while you’re away.

About: The love and respect I’ll treat your furry family with is based on my expertise in Yale-trained Canine Cognition and Pet Therapy experience with Tails of Joy. As a remote policy analyst and consultant without a dog of my own, my availability is flexible enough to accommodate you and yours! Reach out when you’re in need of trusted care(: I care for dogs in my clients’ homes by prioritizing their comfort, safety, and routine. Whether I’m house sitting, doing drop-in visits, or walking, I make sure each dog receives personalized care based on their energy level, temperament, and any special instructions you provide. For house sitting or drop-in visits, I respect your home and make sure your dog feels safe in their familiar surroundings. I follow feeding schedules, administer any medications if needed, and give them quality time and affection. During walks, I ensure your dog gets physical exercise and mental stimulation in a safe, controlled environment. I pay attention to leash manners, local weather, and your dog’s pace and preferences. No matter the service, I treat every dog like they’re my own—keeping you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pup is in good hands.

We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Leigh! She was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She was consistently punctual, made sure Cocoa and Kiwi were well-fed and had clean litter boxes, and went above and beyond to ensure they were happy and comfortable while we were away. We especially appreciated her attentiveness and initiative in noticing and cleaning some discharge from Kiwi’s eyes. She also took great care to make sure our apartment was comfortable for both cats. We came home to two very happy kitties! We will absolutely book Leigh again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional cat sitter!

This was Jason's first drop-in visit with our two Great Pyrenees dogs and our Maine Coon cat. The boys met Jason at his meet-and-greet visit about a week in advance and the boys loved him from the moment he walked through the door. He's very comfortable with our big boys (115 pounds and 140 pounds!). Jason, overall, is fantastic-- professional, thoughtful, conscientious, and just a great guy. He followed all of our instructions to the last detail. We already have more days booked with him. It's such an enormous relief to find him so the boys can stay home together rather than staying at the kennel while we go out of town. Highly recommend him!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Port Chester

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Port Chester is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $40 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 October 2026, there are 12,002 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Port Chester. 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 .

  • 84% 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.
