Will definitely book again for future trips and I highly recommend booking with Gail. 💗”

About: Reliable & Loving Dog Care You Can Count On Hey there! I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, whether it’s for family, friends, or anyone who needs a trustworthy sitter. Being reliable and consistent is why I’m the one people call time and time again to watch their fur babies. From neighborhood walks to fun rides to the dog park and even playdates, I make sure every dog in my care gets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Your pup’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I currently work Monday–Friday from 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM, but outside of that I’m fully dedicated to giving your dog the best care possible. Whether you’re looking for drop-ins, walks, or weekend care, I’m here to help make life easier for both you and your furry friend. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby🐾❤️ I am currently a college student working overnights at the hospital, my schedule is pretty flexible when it comes to work. Majority of the time I can fur baby sit on weekends and during a busy week! My current working hours are from 19:00-07:00 three days a week. I love to accommodate anyone I work for, as the current couple I fur baby sit for I watch their fur babies in their home. As I ensure all animals are taken care of, fed, cleaned, & their household is left the way they like it when they return home. Taking strolls around the neighborhood for the doggies and leaving blinds open so that the cat can sun bathe leaves both fur babies happy.
“Rhianon did a great job checking in on our kitties. She left thorough updates on her Rover cards each time she visited, which was very reassuring for me, and the kitties seemed happy and well cared for when we got back. Rhianon was also very communicative any time she had to adjust the time for a visit. We’ll definitely ask her to watch our cats again!”
“Haley was wonderful! She was always on time, followed every silly instruction we had for our cats, and we appreciate her availability on a holiday weekend. I highly recommend her!”
“Aly was amazing looking after my 2 cats for a few days! She gladly checked on their feeder, water, and litter, and gave them lots of play time during her visits - I knew they were in good hands while I was gone. I especially appreciated the photo updates!”
“Hannah did a great job taking care of our puppy during drop-in visits! She gave us plenty of pictures on our updates and I could tell our puppy was having a blast. She has also last-minute helped with our puppy when our regular sitter, her sister, has had anything come up. Really appreciate her and would 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!”
“Ellen was excellent and very reliable. She took great care of my two cats while I was away and sent very detailed updates. The pictures were so appreciated because I missed them so much. There was one night the power went out and I couldn’t access the home cameras to see them and Ellen was amazing, providing updates, pictures, and offering to help further if needed. She gave me peace of mind about the care my pets were receiving and I would definitely recommend her to others.”

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!!!
Teresa is excellent. 2 of 4 furbabies have special needs, and she was very attentive to those needs and sent me updates. She took extra time to make sure their needs were met and even gave them a little catio time each day. Very happy with her communication and care!
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 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 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.
