Thank you so much for taking excellent care of our Ziggy on Christmas Day! He enjoyed your visit and, from your photos, was happy to snuggle up to you right away. :-) We very much appreciate you!

About: I have about 3 years of hands-on experience pet sitting for family and friends, along with over 10 years of caring for my own dog. I’ve handled everything from weekend stays with multiple dogs to extended 3-week sits, and I’m comfortable administering medication when needed. I’ve also cat sat, so I’m experienced with both dogs and cats. I’m very active and love walking and running, so your dog will get plenty of exercise—not just a quick walk. I’m also big on routine and consistency, helping pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Above all, I treat every pet like my own. I work a 9–5 corporate job, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care throughout my day. I’m very routine-oriented and start my mornings early with workouts and walks, so dog walking fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend walks, and I can also be flexible during the day depending on the needs of the pet. Staying active is a big part of my lifestyle, so I genuinely enjoy getting outside and making sure dogs get the movement and attention they need. Because I already prioritize consistency and structure in my schedule, I’m able to show up reliably and give each pet the time and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or medication—so your pet feels comfortable and secure. I also make it a priority to provide companionship and attention, not just the basics, so your pet feels cared for while you’re away. At the same time, I’m very respectful of my client’s home and space. I keep things clean, organized, and treat your home with the same care I would my own. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable environment for your pet while giving you peace of mind.

About: I have over 35 years of experience caring for dogs, having grown up with them and always been around them. I specialize in taking dogs on long walks and engaging them in play, making sure they get the exercise they need. I've cared for dogs belonging to neighbors, friends, family members, and other clients, which has broadened my experience with different breeds and personalities. I work part-time and care for my elderly father, which gives me a flexible schedule for dog walking and weekend pet sitting. I lead an active lifestyle and love taking dogs on long walks and playing with them to keep them happy and healthy. I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets at their home. I follow their routines and ensure they feel secure and cared for. Keeping pets safe is my top priority, whether I’m walking them or watching them at home.

Kyle was awesome. We have two big dogs. My Lab mix decided to be on his absolute WORST behavior when Kyle came for the meet and greet. I was a bit freaked out. Kyle however, maintained his calm, positive, easy going behavior and completely won our dog over. After the meet and greet I knew the drop ins would be fine. We're already planning on having Kyle back.

About: When I take care of your pet I will treat them like part of the family. I have over a decade of experience caring for pets of all sizes. I can also take care of small pets like Rabbits, Hamsters, Guinea pigs, and even Birds. Past employers have described me as optimistic, dependable, enthusiastic, and motivated to provide the best care. Ensuring the safety of the pet is a top priority. The safety steps I take in advance is always keeping a firm grip on the leash while walking, keeping an eye out on the overall environment that the pet is in, never leaving anything edible out on the counter within a home, making sure the dog is hydrated or fed if needed, and always having my cell phone on me. Communication is key. I am always able to deliver a full written detailed report along with photos to the owner. I understand each pet has their own unique personality and needs. I grew up taking care of multiple dogs within my immediate family. Friends of mine would always ask for me to care for their dogs too. I believe all pets deserve the best care. I will gladly cuddle your pet or give them hugs if they enjoy so. Some activities that I do when I work with dogs is taking them on long energizing walks or runs if they prefer, playing ball in the park, feeding or giving fresh water. It would be a joy to help care for your pet! I have one dog living with me named Bruno , 3 others live with my brother. Usually I get up in the morning and run errands. When I get up I usually walk Bruno in the morning and afternoon if I don’t have any clients. I take very good care of my dog Bruno and will treat your dog the same way. I find it important to have a connection with the dog, so they feel more comfortable and happy. So doing daily walks twice a day, playing with the dog, giving the dog the attention it wants is what I’m really good at. I cannot board right now because of a lot of construction at the house. I can do house sits and drop in visits and walks.

About: My name is Ruby and I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I love them all and my goal is to make sure they are happy and healthy. Your babies will be thoroughly entertained and mentally stimulated when they are with me. I am a quick learner and a friendly individual who follows specific instructions with ease. I look forward to taking care of your furbabies! Experience with dogs for over 15 years. I have walked dogs for 8 years in the past. I have advanced knowledge in dog health, behavior, psychology and nutrition. I have basic knowledge and experience with all other pets. I know doggy CPR. Why I love dog sitting I am a passionate animal lover who only wants the best for them. Being able to care for them while their owners are away and seeing how happy they are after a stay puts a smile on my face. My experience administering medication I administer medication for my dog on a daily basis, as well as friend/family's dogs whenever needed. I’ve given insulin shots, vaccines, oral medication, as well as topical medication. I spend most of my time taking care of animals throughout the day as it is my passion, not to mention I have a decent amount of pets myself. I do also take care of my elderly grandmother so I split my time up accordingly. The pets in my home all get treated equally and as one of my own and they always feel right at home! I wake up and the first thing I do is let the dogs out for their morning bathroom break. They all typically go out into my fenced in yard together as one big group. I prepare their breakfasts while they're all outside and then feed them once they are let back into the house. They spend the day with me around the house where they play with each other and where I play games with them. They go on 2-3 walks per day (if the owners allow me to take them for walks) and get plenty of exercise throughout the day. They're fed their dinner between 6pm and 7pm, get their last potty break at about 9pm and then we are done for the day!

About: Bring joy by something I do to genuinely help people and not to be able to help myself financially sounds like a win-win for me. I’m currently self-employed so I will work around your schedule. I don’t have a 9 to 5 or 40 hours a week so I am free when you need me. I treat for babies as I would treat a newborn baby and respect all rules and respect, household rules. Togetherness is key. Let’s work together.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Southold on Rover is $37.45 per visit (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 7 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Southold. 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
