10/10 recommend Cara! She sent pictures & an update message during each check-in while watching our 5yo golden retriever, and was incredibly responsive. She also offered an initial meet & greet before her first visit, which was very appreciated!

Cynthia is an excellent cat sitter! She has tons of experience with cats, had no problem cleaning up after my cat when she had an accident, and shared helpful advice for cat care. I’ve already booked her twice and intend to have her as my go to for future travel!

Kayla was great, hung out and played with my cat and made sure everyone got fed & meds! She even washed the food plates instead of sticking them in the dishwasher. Thanks, Kayla!

Dawn has been a godsend. We have a 9 year old hound and a new 12 week old puppy. Dawn has been coming to our home for drop in visits. She is extremely communicative, always on time, and takes care of our babies like they are her own. After our first week with Dawn as our sitter we couldn't book her again fast enough! We have had a bad experience in the past with sitters who have not paid attention to detail and I can say that Dawn is a breath of fresh air. If you want to have the best care for your pups without second guessing book Dawn.

Damaica is very responsible and communicative. Shared pictures of our kitty, who isn't always the friendliest to strangers, but allowed Damaica to pet her - a new friend. Definitely would use again.

About: I've been volunteering at the Richmond Animal League for over a year and have previous experience working at shelters and dog daycares. I've always loved caring for animals; I used to volunteer at the SPCA when I was younger and I have two dogs of my own that I enjoy taking on walks and playing fetch with in the backyard. I have a part-time job that I work 3-4 days a week (mostly evenings). Other than that, schedule is pretty flexible! I'm available throughout the week, as well as weekends. I'm more interested in drop-in visits and dog walking, but I'll be able to petsit for as long as you need with enough notice! For pet-sitting, I'll be able to stay and take care of your pets for as long as you need me to be there. I can stay all day and even overnight if needed, or just check in periodically throughout the day! I'll carefully follow instructions given on feeding, walks/exercise, morning and bedtime routines, medications, and just overall entertainment. I'm great with dogs of all kinds of energy, whether they want to be active all day long, or just snuggled up on the couch!

About: I’ve been a pet parent for years, so I totally get it—leaving your fur baby behind is tough! I’ve spent plenty of time caring for the pets of family and friends, so I’m a pro at helping a nervous pup or kitty feel right at home. I’m a big fan of getting outside, so if your dog has energy to burn, we’ll hit the local trails to make sure they’re tuckered out and ready for a long nap. I also have hands-on experience with diabetic pups and am fully comfortable administering insulin injections, so your senior or special, needs friends, are in safe hands with me! Currently working part time, so I have a flexible schedule during weekdays and weekends. I am looking to ger outside more so I look forward to the pup walks. I have a fully fenced-in yard with plenty of grass and shade trees, perfect for afternoon sniffing and exploring! Plus, I have two dog-friendly cats who are totally unfazed by pups, making this a great spot for socialized dogs to hang out and relax.

Mark was an outstanding cat sitter, and I truly can’t recommend him highly enough. He was an excellent communicator throughout, keeping us updated and giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. What impressed me most was his ability to connect with our very timid kitty—something that doesn’t come easily. It was clear he was patient, attentive, and genuinely cared. I would call on Mark again in a heartbeat and happily offer my highest recommendation to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful pet sitter.

Shannon was wonderful with our pets. We have a very wacky dog that she was so patient with. She paid attention to all of our cats, and even got our most shy ones to let her pet them. She was careful and attentive to our Crested Gecko as well. She provided thorough updates every visit, and the pictures made us confident our pets were being well taken care of. We would absolutely book Shannon again to care for our family while we’re away!

Damacia was absolutely wonderful with my dog. Easy to work with, gentle, kind, and truly a dog whisperer. Bentley felt comfortable right away, and I could tell he was being cared for with real patience and warmth. I would absolutely trust Damacia again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful, compassionate pet care.

Kayla went above and beyond while watching our pets over Christmas while we were away! She spent time playing with them and cleaned up throw up from one of our kitties so we did not have to worry about it. She followed our many house instructions to a tee. We will definitely use Kayla again and recommend you do the same. 😊

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Westchester

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Westchester on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,195 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Westchester. 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 Westchester. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.
