“Sara was communicative throughout the week and also made herself available for a last minute need of ours when we were away. I would definitely book Sara to watch our cats again !”
“Katie was very communicative and responsive. She sent thorough updates and photos, and is very friendly and reliable. She took the time to understand each of our kitties’ personalities, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Juliana was a fantastic dog sitter ! She was really prompt with communication, sent pictures of my pets, and overall was incredibly professional. She also let me know when small accidents happened, like when my dog knocked over a houseplant while he was playing or when he chewed on his leash. She was patient and did GREAT with my large, high energy 2 year old poodle. I’m very grateful to have a resource like her nearby and I look forward to hiring her again”
“This is the second time I have booked Kat to visit my kitties and both times she sent me a summary of the visit and their behaviors towards her (unsure at first but gererally warming up to her with every visit) along with some great photos. She is very responsive to messages and follows instructions well. If you book with Kat, rest assured that your pet will be in good hands!”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of all kinds for over 10 years. I grew up with 3 cats and 2 dog. I love animals and I can stay in your home or host pets. Your dog will be allowed on the couch and bed. I have a fenced in back yard where your dog will always be accompanied by me. I will give lots of cuddles and love. I work full time but I have a hybrid schedule where I can be home all day. I can also stop in for visits as needed. I have a fenced in yard and will always be with your dog in the yard. We can go for great walks around the SUNY Albany campus. I currently have 2 cats that are very kind and curious.
About: I have been dog sitting dogs since I was a teenager. I have experience with many different breeds both big and small. Since I don’t have any pets of my own right now I love being able to go meet new furry friends and play with them I have a pretty flexible work schedule. I can make my own schedule based off of the needs clients may have. Depending on when your pets need care I can adjust my schedule accordingly It is my pleasure to keep your pets company while you are away. I am happy to help out with whatever is needed. I am reliable and will keep your pets company while you are away.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. My first, a black Lab named Louie, was already in the house when I was born, so I really can’t imagine life without a dog. My family recently got two puppies, Simba and Xena, that I’ve helped take care of when the rest of the house is away. I’ve been around many different breeds, ages, and personalities, and understand that each one has their own needs and routines. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, play, and keeping them company. I love being around all kinds of dogs and will treat yours with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets throughout the week and on weekends when needed. I’m happy to work around your dog’s normal routine, whether that means stopping by for walks, spending time with them during the day, or caring for them while you’re away. Growing up with dogs has taught me how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal schedules. I will follow your instructions carefully, including feeding times, walking routines, and any special needs your pet has. I understand that every dog is different, and I will take the time to make sure your pet feels comfortable with me. I will also keep you updated while you’re away so you know your pet is doing well.
About: I’ve had jobs caring for senior dogs, puppies, and/or super anxious and reactive dogs. I’m very patient, diligent, and will love your babies like my own :) I also have experience dog sitting for the president of my college! I have recently graduated from college and am living in the Albany area for the time being. My schedule is very flexible. I am not able to board dogs at my home at this time, as I do not live alone. I live in a tidy, quiet home with an unfenced yard, though I am not able to board dogs in my home at this time :(
About: As a pet owner myself, I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level. I’m experienced with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, brushing, playtime, and giving cats/dogs the space or attention they prefer. I love spending time with dogs and have experience caring for my friends’ dogs. I regularly play and interact with dogs, and I understand that every dog has its own personality, energy level, and needs. Whether they enjoy active playtime, relaxing walks, or just some extra attention, I always make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and safe. I work a regular full-time schedule, but I have availability outside of work and on weekends. I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines, and any special needs. I keep doors, gates, food, and surroundings secure and always respect your home.
“Elizabeth took care of my cats as if they were her own. She was an excellent communicator and sent me tons of pictures and videos, so I knew they were in good hands while I was away. Even more amazingly, my one cat is very scared of new people, but he warmed up to her right away. Cats can tell when humans are safe and I am so thankful to know they were given loving time and attention in my absence. I highly recommend and plan to book Elizabeth again for my future cat sitting needs!”
“Kaeleigh is a kind, caring, and honest pet sitter. She pays great attention to detail and sends me information about my cat's disposition (with photos) during every drop-in visit. She's easily able to address all of my cat's needs, and she goes above and beyond to make sure my cat is feeling well. Kaeleigh is very sweet, friendly, and trustworthy. I highly recommend her pet-sitting services.”
About: I have been taking care of all sorts of pets for over 30 years. I am very familiar with puppy, senior and all stages in between. Currently I have been given the responsibility of let outs for 2 adorable pups and mid day walks for another great pup when his family is on vacation. I am currently a stay at home mom . I am looking to fill my time with some pups who need cheering up while their family is away! I have a fenced in yard to keep dogs safe. Our family includes 3 dogs and 4 cats. The cats and dogs coexist well without any issues. 2 of our dogs are seniors who are very quiet. Our younger pup is 5 years old and loves everyone. He would be a great playmate for your pup. I am very hands on and will not take my eyes off your pup. They will be treated just like my fur babies!
About: Hi, my name is Leydi! I’ve loved dogs and cats my whole life and have been around them since I was little. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats for family and friends. I’ve always dreamed of working with animals because I truly enjoy being around them and making sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I love seeing dogs go on walks, play, and just enjoy their day, and I feel the same way about cats and their unique personalities. Rover feels like a perfect fit for me because I get to do something I genuinely love. I’m very patient, responsible, caring, and attentive, and I would love the chance to meet and take care of your furry friend :) I’m super responsible and committed. I can definitely accommodate your needs with a little bit of advance notice. Having my own dog, I know how much time they need, so I dedicate pretty much all of my free time to her and I'd love to do the same for your pup! I live in an apartment complex surrounded by lots of nature! We have a dedicated area in the back with both a fenced dog park and a big open one. I have a small dog named Lola who is super friendly and loves playing with dogs and cats. While I prefer watching your pup at your place, I’m happy to host for doggy daycare!
“Barbara was extremely great with my 2 cats. They usually aren’t friendly and like to hide but they warmed up to her! You can tell she really cares! I’ll definitely rebook for my next vacation!”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals - and especially cats! I grew up volunteering at animal shelters, working to help socialize both cats and dogs to help them get adopted faster. I started formally cat sitting for friends a few years ago, and it has revitalized my love for taking care of animals. It would be a pleasure to help you with your pet fam! I will mostly be available afternoons and weekends. I currently work part time with some telecommuting days. Happy to come by before or after work, or stay with your pet fam on days I telework! In my experience with cat/dog sitting, I am used to preparing meals, cleaning litter boxes, going on walks, changing water, and play time- in addition to never ending head scratches and belly rubs!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Roessleville
Katie is a fantastic cat sitter. She shows up on time and provides exceptional care. My cat is usually skittish around new people, but Katie's calm energy put my kitty at ease. You can tell Katie is a cat person through and through! Would highly recommend booking her services.
Julie was a fantastic pet sitter! She came to take care of our demanding but sweet French bulldog and our two senior cats for a couple of hours. When we got home, the whole fur tribe seemed very content. She communicated with us throughout her visit and was so warm and friendly with our pets when we first met her at the meet and greet. We would definitely recommend Julie!
Kim is the best!! She is kind and caring and gives my buddies affection and plenty of treats. I appreciate her for being there for the boys when I have to go away for work; I know I don’t have to worry about them. I highly recommend Kim if you need some help with your animal friends.
Cambria agreed to watch my three dogs on short notice. She did a wonderful job for the Long weekend, sending pics and keeping me updated on their shenanigans. Wait did I say shenanigans? I meant to say training progress lol. When I got home I could tell my fur babies had been so well cared for. Would definitely hire Cambria again.
Dylan has watched Loli twice now and has taken excellent care of her. His communication is great and he’s on time. It is so nice to have a reliable sitter and it’s makes us happy to see our dog getting comfortable with him and see her so happy while we are away. Thank you Dylan!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Roessleville is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,093 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Roessleville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Roessleville. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
