Irene took care of my two kitties very well. They are very shy and didn’t come out to see her, but she made sure they had food and cleaned up after them.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. My first job was as an Animal Care Technician with the Humane Society, and I later worked at a military veterinary clinic for more than five years. Caring for animals isn’t just a job for me, it’s something I’ve been passionate about since childhood. I’ve always had pets of my own and have rescued many animals over the years. To me, pets are family, not just animals. When your pet stays with me, my home becomes their home. I’ll follow and reinforce your training and household rules, while also making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I tailor their care to their individual personality and energy level. I currently work full-time. But not too far from my job. So I can always come home to let pets out if need be. I will be available to give them all the attention in the afternoon and on the weekends with the help of my kids who just adore any animal. I have a fenced in yard with one dog and one cat to keep your pet company. I can also crate your pet if needed.

About: I’ve been around and taking care of dogs of different breeds since I was 16. Most of my experience has been with friends’ and family members’ dogs. I’ve helped with walks, feeding, playtime, and taking care of them when they stay at my house. I’ve also helped keep their areas clean when needed. I really enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re with me 🐶❤️ I’m available 24/7, which means I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your furry friend and give them lots attention and love :) I live in Berlin, NY, in a quiet area with a large yard where dogs have plenty of space to play and enjoy some time outside. I have a medium sized house and a very friendly 14 year old cat who is used to being around others.

Steph (Net) really stepped up for my family during a tough time. Our dog Luna passed right before a family vacation. We felt guilty leaving our other pup, Howie but Steph spoiled him rotten. He got so many treats, kisses, and walks under her care. There are not enough words to thank her for giving him comfort during this transition. She is kind, punctual, and leaves the best report cards after each visit!

Ashley arrived on time, and took great care of the cats. She feed them, and played with them. Checked and cleaned the litter. She cleaned out the wet cat food cans, as requested, and made sure their food and water was full and clean.

About: While working as a travel nurse, I had the privilege of staying in many homes with pets of all personalities and needs, giving me experience adapting to different routines and environments. I bring a calm, grounded, and intuitive presence that helps animals feel safe and at ease. I'm naturally nurturing (a mama to my own two kitties), attentive to the little details, and I truly enjoy building trust with every animal. My goal is for your pet to feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away, and for you to have complete peace of mind. I genuinely enjoy starting and ending my day with walks, playtime, feeding, and quality time with animals. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide dependable care while giving pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I love being outdoors, so daily walks are something I truly look forward to, and I always make time for cuddles, enrichment, and keeping pets comfortable in their own routine. My parents have an elderly cockapoo who has taught me the importance of patience, gentle care, and paying attention to the little changes that come with aging. My husband and I also have two cats, so I'm familiar with their daily routines, from feeding and litter box care to playtime, affection, and respecting each cat's unique personality. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved every day.

This was our first experience using Rover so I was a bit nervous. I contacted Julia and she came over for a meet and greet a few days ahead of time. She took excellent care of our two cats who are older and cranky at times. Julia was great! I loved getting the updates and pictures after each visit. That totally put my mind at ease. I would not hesitate to hire her again! Very happy customer!

About: I have pet/house sat multiple times over the past several years for friends and family, and have worked with several types of animals from small critters like guinea pigs and ferrets, cats, and even large dog breeds. I also have 2 years experience volunteering for a local shelter in socialization and vet transport, 3 years experience working for a doggy daycare and boarding facility, and I currently work part time for another local animal shelter. I am an experienced owner of dogs, cats, ferrets, chickens, guinea pigs, and more. I also have experience as a wedding dog handler, and would be happy to offer this service if requested so your furry companion can accompany you or someone you know on yours or their special day without any added stress, please let me know if this is something you'd be interested in! I currently work part time so I have lots of time to play with your pup, and hopefully can build savings towards a larger space to meet more people's needs! I am always looking to learn, grow, and provide better care for animals. Animal welfare is very important to me. At this point in time, due to the space I'm only able to accommodate smaller breeds that generally can get along with others. I do have a small fenced in yard, but I also have the bike trail and nearby hiking trails readily available, your dog will need to be on leash at all times when outside on walks/hikes, I do not provide "off-leash" trail experience as a safety precaution, thank you for your understanding! I am happy to provide pictures and updates of your pup whenever requested, please never be afraid to reach out!

About: I’ve been caring for pets informally for my entire life and professionally starting 12 years ago. I care for each pet like they are my own. I am sensitive to their energy and needs. I am able to work with animals who have unique social/emotional and medical needs. I mainly work with dogs and cats but am also experienced in caring for small animals like rabbits, birds, reptiles and fish. I’m currently working part-time, and my schedule varies a bit week to week. I am free mornings and evenings, most Thursdays, as well as Mondays after 2 pm. I usually work shifts under 8 hours, so with good communication I would be thrilled to come up with a plan that will suit you and your pet(s). For now, I am able to care for and board cats and small animals in my home. In the summer, I can board dogs in my fenced in yard. For dogs and larger animals, I can take them for walks and pet sit by traveling to your home. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! I have managed to ensure my pet rabbit feels safe while also living with a rambunctious one-year-old labrador retriever. I am always cautious about my pets and my clients’ pet’s whereabouts. I’ve helped return missing neighborhood cats and dogs to their owners as well as assist with unexpected visits to the vet.

About: I have years of animal care experience. Starting with watching my GSD and American Husky as a teenager. I personally own a cat and an American Staffordshire Terrier mix. I have experience with large dog breeds, medium, and small. I currently am in school asynchronously, therefore allowing me full time scheduling for pet care needs. I also have a work from home position outside of Rover that allows me to adjust my own hours. 1. As a responsible dog sitter, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of your furry friend by ensuring regular walks, playtime, and affectionate attention throughout the day. 2. Your dog's comfort and safety are my top priorities, maintaining a clean and welcoming environment while following any specific care instructions or dietary needs provided. 3. With frequent updates and photos, I aim to provide peace of mind to pet owners, reassuring them that their beloved companion is in good hands and receiving the care and attention they deserve.

Ellen took wonderful care of our cat Seven while my husband and I were out of town for several days. She sent detailed updates daily with photos, made sure to give Seven lots of playtime with his favorite toys, and kept our home in spotless condition as well. I highly recommend her if you're looking for a responsible, communicative sitter who loves cats!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 406 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Stephentown. 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 Stephentown. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
