About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs for over 20 years and have spent about 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.

“Allison was excellent! My cat is not friendly. She's older and scared of others. Got pictures everyday even when it was lumps under the blanket when Smokey was hiding. Smokey did get brave enough to see what Allison was doing once.I would definitely hire her again. Next trip.”

I can board at my home anytime with proper consultation and care instructions. I have a 2 bedroom home with small fenced in yard. As well as a friendly dog and cat to keep your loved companion at ease.

“Andrew was fantastic! He was so detailed and he kept in touch each day. he really understood my difficult diabetic cat and made sure to show love to our other two. Having someone who comes in to give insulin really allowed me to enjoy our time away with no worries if we would have to come home early. We are so grateful and will definitely be booking again. Thanks again Andrew!!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I have experience with dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, litter box care, potty breaks, and spending quality time with pets. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine. I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets as well as pets who are shy, anxious, older, or simply need some extra patience. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and provide photos and updates throughout the visit so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to arrange a meet & greet before a first booking. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I make sure I only accept bookings that I can give the proper time and attention to. My availability can vary throughout the week, so I communicate with pet parents ahead of time to make sure our schedules work together. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding, with more flexibility on certain days and weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, routines, and any special needs. I understand that being away from their owner or in a new environment can be stressful for some animals, so I’m patient and allow them time to get comfortable with me. I keep pets supervised, provide a clean and comfortable environment, and will always communicate with you if I notice anything unusual. I’m also happy to do a meet & greet beforehand so both you and your pet feel comfortable!

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.

“Jazmin did a great job! She seemed to genuinely care for our cat, Cleo, even though it was her first time watching her. She did Cleo’s routine, played with her, and gave her attention. Cleo can be a picky and talkative senior cat, and Jazmin was dedicated to providing good care.”

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.

Whether it's curling up on the sofa during a rainy day and snuggling, or going on a long walk on a brisk fall day, I am ready to have fun with your dog and provide the best care. I am a stay at home mom right now and have a lot of time to dedicate to dog walking or pet sitting. I am flexible with your needs and schedules. We have a yard at our house but also a very warm and inviting home with animal lovers alike. I will make sure your pet is well loved and safe in any condition.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Wading River

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 566 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 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 .

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 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.
