“Teresa did an amazing job sitting for my cat and dog! She was very attentive of their needs and any questions/comments I had while I was away on vacation. She sent me photos and videos of them each day, and was respectful and compliant to my list of instructions for them. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Super great communicator. Easy to give instructions and following them. We had to leave last minute so we could only send pictures of animalsand not a normal "meet and greet". He still did amazing. Will 1000% use him again.”
About: I have 5 years of experience taking care of dogs of different sizes, ages and temperaments. I take care of feeding them, walking them, playing with them and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am a responsible, patient and punctual person. I treat each pet with affection and attention, following the instructions of its owners to maintain their routines and needs. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to pets. I am available during the week and weekends, and I can adapt to different schedules with prior agreement. I promise to provide responsible, punctual and loving care so that your pet feels calm and happy. The safety and well-being of pets are my priority. I carefully follow the instructions of each owner, I keep doors and areas safe during walks and at home, and I am always attentive to their needs. I strive to offer a quiet, clean and loving environment so that every pet feels at home.
“Tracie is amazing, she worked so well with my dog (who can be a bit reactive) and he loved her! She's very easy to get in touch with if something comes up or if schedules changed. Highly recommend! ☺️”
“Jasmine was phenomenal! She provided wonderfully thorough updates about my cat, letting me know her behavior and sending me a lot of pictures (some of my cat being silly and some nice ones too). I feel very lucky to have hired Jasmine for her excellent service because I booked last second and needed to extend the length of cat sitting. Thank you so much, Jasmine!”
“Zara was so sweet and took great care of my pack! This was my first time using rover and it was a lovely experience. I will definitely reach out to Zara again when we need someone to check on our pups!”
“Wonderful! Gail responded quick to my initial inquiry for a last minute booking before a trip. Took amazing care of my 3 cats and was communicative with pictures for each visit. I could tell my babies were in great hands and I felt stress free about their wellbeing and care while gone for 5 days. Will definitely book again for future trips and I highly recommend booking with Gail. 💗”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of my special boy! I love that he behaves well for you and that your presence is helping him learn how to walk well on a leash (and be less reactive). You’re awesome Rachel!”
“Morgan was great! She helped us out really last minute and over a Holiday weekend. Could not have been more thankful for that. Our cat Bug definitely enjoyed her company! We loved the regular check ins and photos. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Stephanie goes above and beyond to make sure that my cat is cared for and that I have plenty of updates when I am away from home. I am never worried or anxious about my cat when she’s caring for her.”
“Yanira has done a great job at caring for my puppy, Opie! She is prompt, communicates well, and Opie always looks like she's having a blast in the photos. I would highly recommend Yanira, and I will definitely continue to use her as my pet sitter.”
“Erin is a wonderful pet sitter. She made sure my cat was very well cared for and loved everyday. My shy kitty really liked Erin as she would greet her at the door with lots of purrs and cuddles. I highly recommend Erin and will use her again.”
“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.”
“Chelsey came by to check on Maggie. She will care for her when we leave town, and I wanted Maggie to get to know her. It will be the first time we have left Maggie with someone other than family. It is evident that Chelsey loves animals and truly cares about their safety and comfort. We are fortunate to have found her. She will be my new Rover dog sitter for sure.”

Amazing sitter! They took great care of my pets while I was away and kept me updated with photos and messages. Everyone was happy and well cared for when I got home. I would absolutely book with Rachel again and highly recommend for anyone looking for peace of mind when away from your fur babies!!!
Stephanie was always on time and very interactive with our kitties, sent daily photos, and is personable, pleasant and professional. It's been a pleasure dealing with her. Stephanie gave us peace of mind while we were away on vacation, and she was a great help to my elderly mother in feeding the cats and scooping the litter boxes. We would definitely book Stephanie again!
Alyssa took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. She sent regular updates and pictures, which really put my mind at ease, and kept me informed the whole time. It was clear my cat was well cared for and comfortable. I’d absolutely book with Alyssa again and highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Portsmouth Heights on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,157 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.

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.
