Ebony is a lifesaver!!! Took care of our four pets for 3 days super super last minute — she is super communicative, sends pictures often, and took our dogs on a walk daily. I have a kitten and she took special care of him. Took extra time to make sure each pet felt comfy with her. She’s our go-to sitter now!

Ashley was amazing! We were in constant communication, she sent a ton of pictures, and I could enjoy being away knowing my three kitties were well taken care of. There was inclement weather and she still found a way to get to my place and take care of my kitties. Thank you so much Ashley!!

Elizabeth saved me in a pinch when I couldn't get home--she came over and walked my dog, whom she'd never laid eyes on, and brought her cute daughters to give her a snuggle. Plus sent me a picture of the scene, with my happy dog soaking up the attention. Thanks again!

Rachel was so kind and patient with our very anxious dog. We were visiting the area and hoped for some drop-in visits to our Airbnb, but unfortunately our dog was so stressed from the travel that she was very reactive. While the job didn’t pan out as we hoped, Rachel was understanding and non-judgmental, which we really appreciated! She clearly understands dogs well.

Timothy is absolutely amazing! I can’t recommend him enough. He takes such wonderful care of my two dogs, Tess and Nipsy, and it’s obvious how much he genuinely cares about them. They absolutely adore him and are always so excited to see him, which gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re with someone they trust and love. Timothy is dependable, trustworthy, kind, and incredibly attentive. He treats Tess and Nipsy like they’re his own, and that means everything to me. Finding someone you can completely trust with your fur babies isn’t always easy, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found him. If you’re looking for a dog walker who is reliable, caring, and truly goes above and beyond, Timothy is your guy! Tess, Nipsy, and I give him 10/10 — five stars all the way! 🐾❤️⭐️

Steve was great with Miss Hazel. He was timely and attentive to her. Followed our instructions well and gave us lots of updates. In fact when we came home, she expected him to be there. When she didn’t see him, she went looking for him all over the house! We were only gone 2 days and already she loved him! Thanks for the peace of mind while we were away from our girl!

About: Hey there! My name is Angie! I’ve taken care of dogs for 7 years. I have a Standard F1B goldendoodle who is 4 years old, a Mini F1BB goldendoodle who is 3 years old and a Newfoundland who is 8 months old! I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong. I’m currently a nanny for a 2 year old baby. My schedule varies weekly so i do have alot of time on my hands throughout the week. I am available almost every weekend as well! I prefer sitting at clients home, with that being said i will be attentive outside and inside. I will make sure dogs are safe outside whether there’s a fence or just making sure they are safe and away from the road. I also would make sure they will not wonder off, attentive is my #1 priority. Making sure their safe in their home and not being mischievous is also a big priority for me and your furry babies!

About: I grew up around animals, from birds and hermit crabs to cats and dogs, my household has always been filled with pets. I have also fostered medically fragile dogs and volunteered at the Westchester Humane Society. I am passionate about ensuring all animals receive the best possible care and I will give your pet the same love I give my own. I currently work part time and I’m a full time grad student, but I have my own transportation so my schedule is open and flexible. I will schedule a meet and greet with you and your pet to learn all about their unique quirks, likes, dislikes, and routines prior to beginning services with them. I ensure a safe environment by using non-retractable leashes on walks and will send you updates while I am with your pet. Your pet's safety is my top priority.

About: Hi, I’m Cory! I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have many years of hands on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I grew up with multiple dogs of my own and have also cared for many dogs and cats through Rover over the years. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I do have a kitten named Callie who is very friendly and accustomed to the dogs that stay with us. Your dog does not need to be cat friendly to stay with me. If your dog doesn’t do well with cats, just let me know ahead of time so I can make arrangements to keep Callie safely separated and give your dog their own space. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while you’re away. My goal is to make every dog in my care feel safe, comfortable, loved, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and am happy to follow specific feeding schedules, walking routines, sleeping arrangements, and other instructions you provide. I’m also experienced with administering medications, including oral medications and insulin injections, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs who require a little extra attention as part of their daily routine. I currently work at a middle school on weekdays until 1:45 PM. While I’m at work, my husband is home with our three children, so dogs staying with us are never left home alone during that time. Once I’m home, I’m available to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, cuddles, and companionship. We also have a fully fenced in yard, giving dogs plenty of space to safely get outside, stretch their legs, play, and enjoy some fresh air throughout the day. IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING: Because this is a family home with children and I may care for dogs from more than one household, all dogs staying with me must be friendly and safe around children. Dogs must also be friendly with other dogs unless we have discussed and arranged a private stay in advance. If your dog is not dog friendly or you are unsure how they behave around other dogs, I may still be able to accommodate them ONLY when arranged with me ahead of time and I have no other dogs scheduled to board during their stay. Please contact me before booking so I can confirm whether I’m able to provide a private stay for your requested dates. Otherwise, dogs staying with me must be comfortable and safe around other dogs. For the safety of my family and every animal in my care, I ask that you be completely open with me about your dog’s personality, habits, medical needs, anxieties, triggers, and typical behavior. The more I know about your dog beforehand, the better I can make their stay comfortable, safe, and enjoyable. I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, and I want you to feel confident knowing they’re being treated like part of the family while they’re here. You can depend on me to provide attentive, reliable, and loving care and to treat your pet as I would my own. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or tell me a little about your pet before booking. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐾 I'm off from work during the summer and during the school year I work at a middle school until 1:45. While I’m gone, my family will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I will do anything to make your pup feel comfortable and at home away from home during his stay with me. I love detailed instructions so please feel free to let me know everything about your pet! I have a fenced in yard and 2 children who are huge dog lovers who would love to keep your dog(s) busy and keep them company!

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I rescued my first dog from the local humane society when I was 11, and that experience started a lifelong passion for caring for animals. Before becoming a nurse, I worked as a veterinary assistant for two local animal hospitals where I gained valuable hands-on experience with animal care and handling. I developed skills in basic training, puppy socialization, reading animal body language, medication administration, subcutaneous fluids, nail trimming, grooming, and bathing. I also volunteered for several years with a local dog rescue as a foster, helping provide temporary homes, structure, and love for dogs before their adoptions. Many needed socialization, basic training, and a calm environment to help them thrive. I later served as the rescue’s foster and event coordinator until 2020. Today I share my home with three of my own beloved dogs. One of our previous dogs had epilepsy and required frequent monitoring and medication, which gave me additional experience caring for pets with medical needs. In my free time I enjoy traveling, camping, hiking with my dogs, training with our Belgian Malinois, and watching my daughter ride her horse. Caring for animals has always been a true passion of mine, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a nurse who works three 12-hour shifts each week, which gives me several days off to dedicate to caring for animals. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is fairly flexible on my days off, and I’m happy to work with you to meet your pet’s individual needs and routine. Please check my calendar for availability and feel free to reach out with any specific requests. I will always do my best to accommodate and treat your animals with the same care and attention I would give my own. At this time, I’m unable to host dogs in my home, but I’m happy to care for them in the place they feel most comfortable—your home. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and extended daytime care depending on your pet’s needs. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care in a calm and compassionate environment, treating your pets with the same attention and kindness I would give my own.

About: I’m a dependable, caring pet lover who understands that pets are part of the family. I’ll treat your pets like my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and playtime while keeping their normal routines in mind. I’m responsible, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away. I am available early mornings, mid-mornings, afternoons and evenings :) I will do my best to work with your time and day requests as a daily, weekly, or on-call request. I care for every pet based on their individual needs, personality, and normal routine. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed, walked, played with, and given plenty of attention and affection. I’m happy to follow any special instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, or favorite activities. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can relax knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.

Wonderful experience - we had to rush out of town twice because of an elderly parent’s health. Samantha was there for us both times even though it was short notice. She saw to our cats needs and even helped out with an issue with unplugging a machine that was left running. Wonderful lady!!!

Booking Rachel was the best decision we could have made for our kitties! She followed all of our instructions to the letter and handled everything with care. It was so reassuring to get regular updates and see how chubby and relaxed our kitties were when we got home. Plus, she left the litter boxes in great condition. Highly recommended!"

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Wassaic

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 599 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Wassaic. 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 Wassaic. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
