“Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our cat while we were out of town! It’s a great feeling to know that she is being taken care of by someone who pays attention to all the little details and genuinely cares.”

“Alyssa is amazing! She was very responsive and organized. She took good care of our cat and left detailed visit notes. She was our first Rover cat sitter experience and we were glad that we were able to have her taking care of our cat while we enjoyed our vacation. Will def rebook with her for our future trips.”


About: I bring attentive, knowledgeable care tailored to your specific creature and their specific personality. I've been pet parent to dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes to my current Sheepadoodle — there's no dog size or personality that's too much or too little, IMHO. And my experience extends well beyond dogs — cats, snakes, farm animals 🐐, and more. I also happen to share my home with a ball python named Fettuccine Alfredo 🐍, who is a distinguished, low-drama fellow. As a plant parent, I will watch after yours indoor jungles, outdoor gardens, that one fiddle leaf fig you're nervous about. If you need someone who will actually look at your monstera and not just splash water in its general direction, that's me. (My avocado tree, grown from a pit, is thriving. I'm not taking questions.) Housesitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, basic training — I've got you. And if you're going away and need the whole ecosystem looked after, pets, plants, and all, I'd love to meet you. Pet care fits naturally into the rhythm of my week. My mornings are consistently free, which works well for walks and drop-in visits, and I have flexibility on Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends for longer stays or housesitting. On days when I'm teaching in the afternoons and evenings, I'm still available in the mornings — and I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I'm never stretched too thin across clients. This isn't something I'm squeezing in around a packed schedule — it's something I've made genuine room for. When I'm in your home for drop-in visits or housesitting, I treat it with the same care and attention I'd give my own. That means following your routines exactly as you've set them, keeping things tidy, and making sure your pets are comfortable and unstressed in their own environment. I take detailed notes at meet-and-greets so nothing gets missed while you're away. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and attentive to their individual energy and needs — a reactive dog gets a very different walk than a social butterfly, and I know the difference. I bring over thirty years of animal experience to reading body language and behavior, so I'm not caught off guard by much. My own home includes a ball python and two cats, so I'm well practiced in managing a multi-species household safely and calmly. I don't offer boarding, which means your dog's visit to my home would only ever be for a meet-and-greet in a low-key, relaxed setting. In any situation that feels off — health, behavior, anything — I err on the side of contacting you immediately and getting to a vet if needed. You'll never be left guessing.

“Great experience! Saiad was attentive, responsive, and took excellent care of Luna. We appreciated the updates and felt confident she was in good hands. Highly recommend them!”

“Jalyne is responsive and very kind! My cat took to her immediately. She goes above and beyond to pay attention to detail and follow any directions requested. I really appreciate that about her. Will be using her again. Thanks Jalyne!”

“I honestly love your visits and from the start I could see that Fumacinha remembered you and was comfortable. Thank you for taking the time to walk him in the visit and be so kind to him. It makes a difference and I always feel at ease even traveling. Thank you”

“Emmily is fantastic. She was on time, super friendly, and took great care of Jake. We received pictures and a full report on his time with her. Would highly recommend her!”

“Shawn is super thoughtful!!! He took the time to come visit the cats ahead of sitting to make sure we all get comfortable. He also takes the time to check in with you when unsure about the cats needs or behaviors, that was hugely appreciated! I will definitely reach out and o Shawn next time.”

“Andrea was great! She seemed comfortable to be at my place and with my 2 cats which is what I was hoping for! She is kind, caring and enthusiastic! Would absolutely use for future needs and would recommend to anyone needing pet care!”

“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 had a family dog since I had a baby he was a dachshund and lived for 18 years. I have dog sitted before in middle school with my sister and it was great having to take care of cute dogs. I know how to handle dogs. I am currently working part time so I have time to take care of dogs and can walk them in the morning before I go into work. I am very cautious when taking care of dog before walking them I will check if their collar or harness it tightly secured (not too tight) so they won’t slip away.

“Huidan, is very professional. She communicatea well, came on time and try to comfort my dog as much as she could given it was first time my dog met her. She fed him refreshed his water and played. I would use her again. Thank you for your work!”

“I wish I could give Iris more than 5 stars because she was that great. My dogs are not the easiest to take care of and are definitely weary of strangers. Iris took the time to get to know them and make sure they were very comfortable while my family went away on vacation. Iris sent many updates to let us know the dogs were ok which we really appreciated! Not only did Iris take care of the dogs but also our lizard, fish and even watered our gardens. I was able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing that we had such a reliable and trustworthy sitter taking care of our fur babies and home! Thank you so much Iris.. we will be booking you again!”

About: Hi there! I've been surrounded by animals since I was a little boy and I've never stopped loving them since! I've had 9 cats and 3 dogs throughout my life with my family, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I volunteered all 4 years during high school at animal shelters to care for stray/abandoned cats and dogs. All animals bring so much joy to my heart, although I don't have kids of my own yet - I care for all animals as if they were my own children. If your furry friend needs a little TLC grooming or medication, I am more than happy to ensure they are on schedule. I have a private home in Bayside, if needed more space it can be utilized (w/ fenced yard). Please message me to arrange any bookings, I always do my best to be flexible with all my clients. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Purchase
Alyssa found out about our cat’s unexpected medical issue while we were traveling and in sleep in a different time zone. Alyssa and Michael used their best judgement to take our cat to the ER, made sure his situation was stable, documented everything, and helped cleaning the mess our cat made in the apartment due to his sickness. They truly treat your pets like their own fur babies and will go above and beyond when it is needed. I recommend them and will book with them again for our cat.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Purchase on Rover is $29.97 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 11,556 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Purchase. 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.

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.
