About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years and have had pets my entire life. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet—they’re family. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and getting to know their unique personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy, or more laid-back, I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I stick closely to your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. My home has a fenced yard for safe, supervised playtime and plenty of exercise. I also have three friendly dogs who are used to being around others. I always take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable, and I can separate dogs if needed so they have their own space. While you’re away, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own—giving them lots of attention, care, and affection. I send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in good hands. My goal is simple: a happy, well-cared-for dog and a stress-free experience for you. My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available during the week and weekends, and your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fenced yard for safe, supervised playtime and follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any medications.
“Amy is awesome! She’s always willing to come and help me out by letting May have a potty break while I’m working late hours. She’s is so good with May and has been super helpful each time she comes and always makes sure she has food, water, and plays with her! I will continue to trust her with May in the future.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Abby!! She has been absolutely incredible with our dog and he has been so happy! She’s always very communicative and attentive. Thank you so much, Abby! We can’t wait to have you watch our boy again- I’m sure he can’t either :) thank you!”
About: I have been around dogs since I was about 8 years old and have experience with both small and large breeds. I have owned 4 dogs myself and caring for dogs has always been something I genuinely enjoy. Over the years, I have gained experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, breeds, energy levels, and personalities. I understand that every dog has unique needs and routines, whether that means lots of playtime and exercise or a calmer, more relaxed environment. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, basic care routines, and giving dogs the attention and patience they deserve while their owners are away. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I will always treat your dogs like my own and provide reliable, loving, and attentive care. I’m currently working a flexible schedule and I am most consistently available in the afternoon and evening times during the weekdays and fully on the weekends to provide extra time for your animals! I have a fully fenced yard and the space/ability to crate as needed. I do currently have 2 friendly cats in home who are used to other cats/dogs. Each member of my household has experience with cats and dogs and would be excited to show yours some love and attention up close or far away! I always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and comfort levels whether inside your home or mine.
“Tracie was wonderful. Needed last minute care and she was available. Punctual and followed our instructions. Sent a bunch of pictures. And I forgot to mention the two cats, who normally hide but she got pictures of them ❤️ will definitely use her again!”
“Sarah was great! I have a very shy cat and she made the effort to find her hiding spots to send me a picture to confirm she was doing okay. Would recommend Sarah to anyone who wants to make sure their fur babies are doing okay!”
“Chelsea took exceptional care of our cats while we were away. She communicated clearly and sent so many photos for us to see! Our kids missed the cats so much and being able to see them and know they were being loved meant the world to them. Our cats are very shy, but Chelsey was able to befriend them and give them some much needed snuggles. She not only followed the instructions we left, but she also went above and beyond to make sure we came home to a clean and nice smelling house. I will definitely check Chelsey's availability the next time we go away, as well as reccomend this app and Chelsey to anyone who is in need of pet sitting in the area. We are so impressed, thank you!!!!”
About: I have worked at 2 animal hospitals taking care of all types of dogs and cats and the occasional birds and horses, on site and off site. I have a lot of experience with animals and I am able to recognize signs of abnormal things in the way they act, walk/run, urine/bowl movements, etc. I treat all animals with love and care like they are my own. I am also able to clip and file cats and dogs nails and will bathe them too. I have a lot of experience being able to give oral medications and injectable medications. I know how to care for senior and special needs cats and dogs. Puppies and high energy pets are always extra enjoyable to care for. All the need and want is extra play time and love which I am fully available to give.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Portsmouth Heights on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,137 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Portsmouth Heights. 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 with handling special pet needs in Portsmouth Heights. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
