About: I grew up with a white retriever named Daisy for 13 years until she passed away. I currently have 2 cats, and I have 3 guinea pigs! I adore all types of animals and I love giving them hugs and kisses! I will make sure that I will always be on time and keep the house as clean as you left it! For the month of October, daytime requests are better for me because I am a scare actor at a haunted house most evenings! I work another job during the day certain days but the shifts are not long! I will always have my eye on your pet at all times. I believe that trust between a human and an animal is something that is developed over time, and I will make sure that I will be respectful of your pets boundaries and make sure that stay as safe as possible.

“10/10 would highly recommend! Kristin was one of the best sitters I've ever had! My kitties absolutely adored her and she went above and beyond while she was here. Kristin kept me up to date on how everything was going and made me feel super comfortable being away from my animals. Thank you so much for everything!”

About: Growing up, family and friends would often trust me with the responsibility of caring for their pets whenever they needed someone. I’ve always had pets of my own as well, usually a cat and a dog or two. My family had Whippets and a Doberman, and throughout my life I’ve also kept fish and the occasional reptile. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy both the companionship they bring and learning about what makes each pet unique. If you trust me with your pet, I can promise they’ll be cared for and loved as if they were my own. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, patience, and care they deserve. I work a block away from my home. I wake up a few hours before I’m due so I can take care of everyone. I’m home every lunch break for walks and pets then back home about 3 hours after that. My cat always has full reign on the house and my dog has a private bedroom with crate for when I leave. A nice sized fenced in private back yard great makes for a good playtime or potty break.

About: I have taken care of a variety of dog breeds and pets for years. I have been entrusted by neighbors, family, and friends to care for their pets' specific needs and wants. No request is too big or small to provide for the joy returned to me whether it's my own fur babies or yours. I have time at the moment to help as many pets as possible. I can try my best to accommodate whatever time you may need. I am unable to host pets in my apartment. So while I miss my own pets back home, I can help some busy owners give some attention and enrichment to their pets.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I’ve done dog sitting and dog walking for different breeds and personalities, and I’m comfortable keeping up with routines, giving extra patience and care when needed, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m a teacher, so I have more flexibility in the summer when I’m off. I’m very active and enjoy staying busy by being outdoors—going for walks, spending time at the beach, and staying on the move. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely love animals, and spending time with them is something I enjoy as a hobby. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after while sticking closely to their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also respecting their space and the home. My goal is always to keep pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away.

About: Hi there ! I’m an animal lover and proud owner of two wonderful cats. I’ve cared for animals since I was five years old, and over the years I’ve had the joy of spending time with dogs and cats. Currently I’m currently finishing my master’s degree and have a flexible schedule between classes and study time — perfect for spending quality time with pets! I treat every pet like my own — with love, patience, and respect — and I always enjoy building trust and seeing their unique personalities shine through. I’d love to meet your pet and give them the attention they deserve while you’re away! I live in a secure, pet-friendly apartment complex with plenty of walking areas and pet amenities, so your furry (or feathered!) friend will be safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: My background in canine care began at the Little Shelter Animal Adoption Center in Huntington, NY in 2008. I was employed there for several years as a dog walker and socializer, working with a wide variety of dogs and puppies from many different walks of life. All of the dogs were rescues, and so special care needed to be provided, with exercise, playtime, feeding, and even medication distribution. After working at the shelter, I found myself at a few local grooming parlors, working as a bather. As you've probably experienced, most dogs do not love being bathed and groomed, and so I would try my very best to make them comfortable in the unfamiliar situation they were in, taking the time to check in on them frequently and give them lots of reassurance and loving. Patience goes a long way! In January of 2015 I had my first two-month long house and pet sitting job. However, since then I've been working a full time office job and have been unable to enjoy much time with canine companions. I will regularly pet sit for close friends and family, but I'm ready to spend more time around furry friends! I'd love to meet you and your pup and ensure that they're properly taken care of and loved while you're out on the weekend, working, or away on vacation! I'm currently working part-time, with a very flexible schedule, so there's a good chance I'll be able to accommodate your scheduling needs! Reach out to me with any questions. I have two cats at who are cautious of other animals, so I'm happy to care for your pet in your home! I'd love to learn about your pet's routine and preferences to provide them the best care possible.

Kristin is professional, reliable & a very obvious pet lover. My pet takes a long time to warm up to people, and Kristin gained her trust by being consistent, loving and caring. She gave me peace of mind with helpful updates, pictures and consistency. She also treated my home with immense respect, by keeping things tidy, taking out the trash and even helping with some daily house chores. I absolutely trust her and would book with her again!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - West Bay Shore

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in West Bay Shore is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $16 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 2,785 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across West Bay Shore. 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 West Bay Shore. On Rover:

  • 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 88% 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.
