Adrienne was very thorough in taking care of our fur babies. She went above and beyond telling us how our cats were doing and sending pictures with each visit. She interacted with the cats and even the antisocial one liked her. As anxious fur baby parents, the peace of mind that she gave us was priceless. We will definitely be rebooking with her and highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies.

Stasi was amazing with our puppies, she spent extra time each day to make sure they were loved and had a friend to play with. Communication was on point we always knew each day we were gone what the puppies were up too, my family and I will definitely be requesting her again!

Jenny was great!!!! This was a very last minute need on Labor Day weekend and she came to meet my girls, bonded with them instantly and came by twice to walk them and spend some time with them so we could attend an event - she kept me posted and sent me some adorable photos during her stay! It was such a relief to know they were well cared for so we could attend our event! The only concern which is not directed at Jenny at all was that when I first put the inquiry in for pet care on Labor Day weekend, the app never mentioned anything about holiday weekend fee of $50 per visit - I am very new on this site and had no idea until Jenny came to visit and we went forward with booking and at that point I didn’t have any choice - that said, it cost me $150 when I anticipated $50 which was a total bummer! Jenny is wonderful , warm and trustworthy and I will definitely use her again!!!!

About: I grew up with dogs from the age of 10. I am often called the pet whisperer by family and friends because their pets often do things they don't normally do with people they don't know well. I have a very flexible schedule and will be able to accommodate the needs of the pets to walk and feed take care of them from daily to weekly where needed. At this time I do not have any yard space or ability to have pets stay with me at my house. I am willing to stay at the pet owners home if needed or stop by for their care needs.

Carly was great! I had to book her last minute because my dog walker fell through. She was flexible and accommodating and made my time away from home stress free. She always showed up on time and kept me updated about my pup. I would definitely have Carly watch Stella again!

This is the first time we had someone take care of our dog Sawyer that was not a relative or friend. We were nervous because Sawyer can be anxious around strangers and he also has some medical issues. Our fears were put to rest at the first meet and greet between Sawyer and Andrew. Andrew immediately engaged Sawyer and listened carefully to my concerns. He was always on time and visited as scheduled. He was faithful in providing reports after each visit that led me to think he already knew what was important to me as Sawyer’s mom. We will definitely contact Andrew if we need him to take care of Sawyer in the future!

This was our first time hiring someone to watch our dogs because family wasn’t available and we were super nervous but Allison made us feel a lot more comfortable by coming to meet the dogs ahead of time. She did a great job keeping up updated with photos and check ins. We were so happy to have her and will certainly think of her in the future!

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs for over 20 years and have spent approximately 10 years caring for other people’s pets. I’m currently completing training to become a professional dog trainer, and I enjoy helping dogs build confidence, improve their manners, and have a great time. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, including senior dogs. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and individual needs. Whether your dog needs a relaxing walk, some exercise and play, or basic training reinforcement during their visit, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d want for my own dogs. I’m a lifelong dog owner and dog enthusiast who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. I have a flexible schedule and am able to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to body language and behavior. My goal isn’t just to get through a walk or visit, I want your dog to come home happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m also currently training to become a professional dog trainer, so I’m happy to reinforce basic manners and obedience during walks and visits when requested. When I arrive, I give pets a moment to settle in and become comfortable before greeting them. Once they are calm, I greet them and prepare them for their walk. Before meals, I encourage good manners by asking for a sit and stay when appropriate, or simply waiting for them to settle before placing their food down. I follow each pet’s individual routine and instructions to help them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for.

About: have 6 months to a year of hands-on experience as a kennel attendant and dog handler, working with dogs of many sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. I’ve handled strong and high-drive breeds such as Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, and Dobermans, and I’m confident staying calm and in control in different situations. I do well with reinforcing basic commands like sit, stay, and leash manners, and I’m especially good with puppies, helping them learn structure, routine, and positive behaviors early on. I’m patient, observant, and always focused on the dog’s comfort and safety. I’m still learning and growing in my skills, but I take pride in building trust, reading body language, and providing consistent, respectful care for every dog. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m fully open on Thursdays and Sundays, which allows me to dedicate focused time to walks, drop-ins, and extended care. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, I typically finish work around 2–3 PM, giving me good afternoon and evening availability. On Fridays and Saturdays, I’m usually available after around 4 PM. Because of this schedule, I’m able to be consistent, punctual, and flexible, whether it’s daily walks, check-ins, or longer visits. I plan my time carefully to make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I provide a calm, structured environment with a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise. I maintain routines and reinforce basic training every other day to keep dogs mentally engaged and well-behaved.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 569 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Wading River. 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 Wading River. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
