“Booked again, and as always, Miko was well taken care of. I appreciate the updates and pictures while I’m away, great pictures btw, brings peace of mind. Thank you for going above and beyond and taking time to supervise Miko outside, which is his favorite. He loves going outside several times a day, and it meant a lot that they were so patient and attentive with him. Thank you again for always following instructions carefully and taking such thoughtful care of Miko. Very grateful!”

About: I am a mother of 3. My kids grew up with mommy doing Rover! They are trained to not mess with animals. They love playing fetch with the dog's and cuddling! We have a fully fenced back yard and all our furniture is pet friendly! We want your pets to feel at home here. We allow dogs to sleep in our bed with us and on our couches. My kids are in daycare during the week but I work from home! So during the days it's just me with the dogs. They are typically never left alone. I send tons of pictures to all the dogs owners so you will always be updated! We like being your pets family while your away! So I work from home! I wake up at 6am and feed the dogs and let them out. Since I am home I let the dogs outside quite often! I usually feed the dogs around 5 then go pick up my kids from daycare. Then the whole family is home for family and doggy time! We have a fenced in back yard and zero doggy doors. We have a very safe home. We try to teach our kids not to feed the dogs any human food so we don't ruin the diet you have your dog on!
About: Hello, I've had cats, and some kittens, almost my entire life! I love them and understand their cues. I enjoy interacting with them and grooming as well. I've taken care of friend's dogs while they are on vacation and enjoy taking them on walks and playing with them! I am a stay at home mom, with all 3 of my children in school. I can work weekdays between 9am and 1pm. Possibly evenings. I know how to brush cats, clip their nails, change the litter, feed, water, and play with them. I have my own car, so I am reliable. I have cared for 3 different dogs while my friends were on vacation multiple times. I love playing with dogs and keeping them company.
“Ashley really did a great job with my pups. From the first meet and greet to the days she stopped in. She kept in touch with me and send me pictures. She is very professional and loving. I will be using her in the future and highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was little, and I’ve been taking care of dogs while the neighbors were away since I was 12. I love dogs and own 5 myself, I can administer medications and just play with your dog. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I currently have a small puppy so I already have a good routine of letting her out to play, go potty and such. I only work my day job about 7 hours a day in the early morning so I’ll be able to go in the early afternoon and let your pet out and play with them every day. The pets in my home have a spacious environment to be around the family while we are home. We always watch out for our dogs when they are out of the crate and the same for any of your pets that come over to hang out.
“Brandi was amazing to work with. She communicated with me from the very beginning, asked thoughtful questions at our meet and greet, and provided my dog with great care. I never worried while I was away from home. This was my first time using Rover. If it's as easy as Brandi makes it, I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Clasie was so amazing! Sent pictures every day while we were away, and I could tell my kittens just loved her. Communication was great, and would absolutely have her take care of our cats again!”
About: I have loved animals my whole life and have been pet sitting for a year now! I don’t ask for very much money as I am mostly doing this to spend time with animals (but money would be nice) I am free whenever! I am not attending college currently so I have all the time in the world! I can even pull all nighters for neonatal kittens :) I am not currently accepting pet care in my home but I promise to keep yours safe! I will keep the doors locked, clean if needed, and not answer the door to strangers!
“Emma did such a fantastic job with our kitties and our house while we were away for a week. We would absolutely use her services again and highly recommend her. She was thoughtful and thorough and we had peace of mind the entire week away. Our cats were so relaxed and happy when we returned. We can tell they were paid attention to and very comfortable with her. Our house was well taken care of and Emma was great with communications and pictures. Absolutely book her! Thanks again, Emma!”
About: I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where dogs can feel completely at home. With a fenced yard and a dog friendly household, your pup will have plenty of space to play, relax, and get the attention they deserve. I’m experienced with a variety of temperaments and energy levels, and I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs. Whether that means playtime, walks, or a calm environment, I tailor care to each individual dog. I pride myself on being dependable and communicative, sending regular updates, photos, and making sure you always feel confident your pet is in great hands. My goal is simple: a happy, safe dog and a stress free experience for you. I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and playtime throughout the day. On other weekdays, I’m available in the mornings until 8am, and home by 3:00pm. I’m also available on weekends for boarding and care. I make sure every dog gets consistent care, potty breaks, and interaction based on their routine and energy level. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run and play, along with a dog friendly home environment. I take safety seriously and always supervise outdoor time. I have experience with different temperaments and can separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I’m also able to crate dogs if that’s part of their routine. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels right at home. My teenage son is also a huge animal lover and enjoys being around the dogs, however I am always the primary caregiver and responsible for all supervision and care.
“Outstanding sitter! Great communication throughout the petsit, including photos, which made my heart so happy. Lindsay was clean and tidy, she laundered sheets and towels, washed all her dishes, took out the trash, and our home was freshly vacuumed. In fact, we've already booked our next sit with Lindsay. She is terrific!”
“This was my first time using Rover, so I was a bit nervous. After our meet and greet (we could have sat and talked for hours!) I had absolutely no worries going into it. Turns out Marci was the best! She was very communicative. My house was left spotless - she went the extra mile to strip the bed and put sheets in the laundry room, empty kitty litter and trash, and left everything neat and tidy. I feel my two cats were well cared for. I will definitely have Marci house/cat sit for us again. Thanks!”
About: I have had lots of my own cats and dogs. I have dog sat for family and friends. I love working with all kinds of animals:) I do have a job which is typically 6 hour shifts Monday through Saturday. I have always loved animals and love to make more furry friends. I’d love to care for your pet/s! I am very detail oriented and able to follow schedules needed for your pets needs. I am able to walk the animals as needed. I work in healthcare and pet safety is a top propriety!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Syracuse
Elizabeth was beyond the best!! She took such great care of our pets & our home while we were on vacation. She kept us updated on how our cars were doing & sent pictures every visit! When we got home, I knew the kitties had been well cared for. We will DEFINITELY be hiring her again!
Lisa is a wonderful animal caretaker! She took very thorough notes and asked great questions, it was very clear early on that she is experienced with animal caretaking. Our cat, Shishi, is elderly, battling IBD, needs several oral medications and is a feisty gal. We went on a 6 day backcountry river trip and knew we needed someone experienced to care for her while we were away. Lisa administered all Shishi’s medications with no issues, fed her the very specific meal regimen that Shi is on, kept her company, and cleaned up after Shishi had several diarrhea accidents outside of the litter box. Lisa communicated well and sent many cute pictures. In short — Lisa is a rockstar, we will definitely hire her again and highly recommend her!
Madilynn did an amazing job watching our two cats! She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cares about animals. Our cats were happy and well taken care or, and we appreciated her updates and professionalism. We’d absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Syracuse is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $32 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 417 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Syracuse. 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 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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 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.
