About: I had both dogs and cats in my home growing up and have assisted in caring for them my whole life. I been single handedly taking care of my own cat for 5 years now. There are currently 2 dogs (a 9 year old pug and a 2 year old medium sized mutt) and 2 cats (10 years old and 5 years old) in my home that I help feed, take care of, and play with. I am highly in tune with my animals and always provide them with what they need to be comfortable. My schedule is currently very flexible. I am open to walks at any time of the day as well as pet sitting. On Mondays I can only care for pets after 5:30. I am happy to follow any guidelines provided regarding your pets needs and will do anything to make both you and your pet feel comfortable! I can take your dog on walks or play with them in your yard if you would prefer. I have a lot of experience and love caring for cats as well. I will follow any and all instructions given to ensure a fun and caring experience for your pets!
“Helena was such a pleasure to work with! She gave super timely updates and provided so many great pictures of our cats and she got my cat Prince to take all his medications!! She truly does love animals and I could see them bonding with her. I’m definitely going to be hiring her again for our next out of town trip!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, frogs, birds, lizards, a ferret, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. My last pet was a cat, and even though I don’t currently have pets, I truly enjoy being around them. I’ve owned dogs all of my life and have had several breeds over the years including pitbulls, a Boston Terrier, a French Bulldog, and a Boxer, so I am very comfortable with different sizes and personalities. I have walked and cared for both of my aunts dogs. My one aunt has a French Bulldog and the other has a mastiff, and I always made sure they were fed, let out, and comfortable. I also cared for a pitbull while babysitting, handling his feeding, bathroom breaks, and daily routine. Dogs are my specialty because I have the most hands on experience with them, but I enjoy caring for all pets. I am responsible, patient, and confident with many different breeds and temperaments, and I always make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well taken care of. I also plan on getting a red eared slider turtle soon because I love learning about and caring for different types of animals. I am currently on summer vacation, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets throughout the week. When the fall semester starts, my classes will only be on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which keeps my schedule very open. I am available from 6 am to 3 pm to take care of your pets, and I make sure to plan my day around giving them the attention and care they need. When I am caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routines and instructions closely to make sure their pets feel safe and comfortable. I pay attention to details like feeding times, bathroom breaks, and keeping their space clean. I take my time with each pet so they never feel rushed or stressed, and I always make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure. My goal is to create a calm and trustworthy environment so your pets feel relaxed and well cared for while you are away.

I always provide updates on the dog’s walk, behavior, or anything out of the ordinary, so owners can feel assured that their dog is in good hands.

About: Hi! My name is Drew & I live in Rockville Centre. I started on rover almost 14 years ago petsitting full time, staying in people's homes with their pets while they traveled. I did this all through college and loved it so much I decided to turn it into my full-time business! I have recently re-activated my account after moving to Rockville centre and being able to take in new dogs, cats and their families! Several of the families that I began pet sitting for over a decade ago that wrote reviews back in 2014 I still pet sit for today! I love dogs and all animals and treat them like they are part of my own family. I have experience watching dogs of all different breeds, ages, temperaments, & special needs. My own dog, my bulldog named Remy, is fully blind. I am available for pet sitting in your home while you go away for either overnights or visits. I am very flexible, patient and experienced and look forward to meeting new pups and their owners! I like to pet sit for your pups on your schedule and I am pretty flexible. I love to follow your pets normal schedule, wake up times, activities etc so they are as comfortable as possible while you're away. I am able to spend a lot of time with your dog. I can provide multiple references from throughout the years and I also will always be available for you to contact while you're away. I will send you frequent updates and pictures as well.

I’m open to caring for pets of any age or disability, and providing as much attention as needed. I have a college classes(online and face to face) throughout the week and a part time job( mainly 10-15 hours) but i mainly stay at home so i am able to pay attention to your pet at all times. If you’re comfortable with it i love to take them with me for small errands or nice views just so they are not left alone at home. I live in a very walkable town. Your pet will be able to roam freely around the house if needed, and/or have their own space if they are shy. I’m capable of moving things around for comfortability. Pets will never be left unattended for long periods of time. I don’t own additional dogs or cats but i have rabbits kept in their own secure caged space. I can and WILL follow all care instructions. I would be happy to provide updates and photos at any time.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rockville Centre
Juliana was amazing with our cats while we were on vacation. She is reliable and took great care of our cats. We have one older cat and she took time to try to get him to take his medication every day. She played with them and we never had to worry about them in her care. She is trustworthy and I recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.
I highly recommend Marissa! She was so sweet and accommodating, and took excellent care of my senior kitty, Jonathan, who requires topical and injectable medications. It gave me peace of mind, leaving him in the capable hands of a LVT! I would definitely use Marissa again, and will recommend her to all family/friends who require pet care, especially for senior animals that require medications and extra TLC!
Patricia is such a wonderful sitter. She is so supportive while you're away from your cat (or other pets!) My cat was having urine issues, and she let me know right away so I could get him checked out asap. Thank you as always, Patricia!! Don't hesitate to book with her!
Grace was fantastic with sky . Came early every day,took pictures and we spoke on phone. Litter box was clean everyday and sky ate well. Grace came to meet sky 3 weeks before her work day and met me and sky ! I would use her again and highly recommende you do as well !
Ella is fantastic!! I needed someone to administer subq fluids & medication to my senior tom cat while I'm away from work. Ella has done an excellent job with him everytime she comes. It gives me great peace of mind to know he's being well cared for <3 Thank you Ella!
Stephanie took great care of my two cats, Oreo and Nala, while I was away. She followed all of my instructions and made sure their routines were kept consistent, which I really appreciated. Oreo is a social butterfly and enjoyed her company right away. What impressed me most was seeing my shy girl Nala slowly come out of her shell. By the last couple of visits she was rubbing against Stephanie and even allowing pets, which is a big deal for her. That alone speaks volumes to me. Stephanie also shared photos during the visits and kept things running smoothly while I was gone. I’m grateful that I was able to relax on my trip knowing my cats were being looked after, and came home to two happy kitties. Thank you again, Stephanie! 🐱
Nicole was an absolutely fantastic catsitter! She took wonderful care of my cat, who was happy and well-fed throughout our time away. The litter box was kept clean, meals and treats were provided, and Nicole kept me updated constantly with messages and adorable photos. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such capable hands. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Rockville Centre 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 11,679 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Rockville Centre. 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 Rockville Centre. On Rover:

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.
