“Teri is an absolute joy and gem of a fur baby sitter. She treated my Daisy with love and kindness. She even trained her on outside recall! God bless her soul! I will definitely use her again for all my future trips. Hands down outstanding!! I referred her to a local community Facebook page so others in my community are able to utilize her services too. So grateful I found her!! 💓”
About: I have had plenty of animals of my own including but not limited to- cats, dogs, fish, lizards, turtles, birds, rabbits, chickens and other farm animals. I have house sat for many different types of families. Full farms, medically challenged pets, senior animals, young animals. I love them all dearly! I currently work from home Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and some Saturdays. I cannot do overnights on Mondays and Tuesdays due to my work schedule. I am home almost daily and love to walk my pets and others before work, on my lunch, or after work. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have plenty of leashes and secured leads. We live on a slow dirt road. No pet, even mine, is ever outside unattended or unleashed. I will follow whatever rules are laid out for me regarding your home if I am caring for your animal in their space.
About: I have taken care of a wide range of animals, some that need some extra care and some that just need love, I will be sure to meet your pets needs I am available pretty much any day of the week and most anytime just let me know your needs and I will be sure to get back with you I have a large home that your pups or cats would be able to play in but also be safe in, I have one dog that loves other dogs and cats but if for some reason they do not, I have a crate and or can easily separate them from room to room. I also have a sizeable yard that they would be able to play in although it is not fenced in but is in the country.
“Wonderful and thorough care. I never worried about my boy while gone for a week. She anticipated needs even I did not (full litter box change) and went above and beyond in other ways as well. She sends lots of updates which was a comfort while away. She cared for my boy cat Zissou as if her own. 1000% recommend! She will be who I use for any future needs.”
“Ashley was so great with our pups! The dogs got into something before she visited & she was so helpful getting their mess cleaned up. We are grateful for Ashley!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life, including part-time professional grooming and providing loving, attentive care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. My experience includes regular care for Zara and Axle (Goldendoodle/Bernedoodle), Ned (Miniature Dachshund), and Bear and Moon (Labrador Retrievers) From energetic playtime and long walks to light grooming, feeding, medication (if needed), and plenty of cuddles, I understand that every dog has unique needs. As a retired teacher, I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to routines, giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently retired. I’d like to make pet care my daily/weekly routine. Currently, your pet would be my daily or weekly routine. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I take that responsibility seriously.
“Julie went above & beyond when checking in on our anti-social kitties. Her patience paid off and the fuzzy, grumpy one accepted pets and even purred! Thank you for jumping in last minute to care for Kassie & Kilo :)”
About: Hey my name is Jade. I’m a stay at home girlfriend looking for cats to spoil. I grew up with a handsome feline named Marometas (spanish for cartwheel) and am looking for cats to keep me (and my boyfriend) company. We’ve love to have cats of our own but unfortunately it’s just not in our budget therefore I decided to start cat sitting so we’d have an pet at home that we can love as our own. I’m currently a stay at home girlfriend and I do all the cooking on the weekend so during the week I’m pretty free. We are flexible to whatever your needs are just send me a message and we can work it out. I’m also willing to pet sit other small animals such as rabbits or reptiles. We live in a pet friendly apartment with access to a large grassy area and a dog park just for our community. All the dogs in the community are dna registered and occasionally we’d get other animals such as deer and rabbits that pop by. I have no pets and I plan on only hosting 1 pet at a time. We don’t have any house plants that could be hazardous to animals.
About: I’ve almost always had a dog for the past 24 years. Currently have a hobby farm: goats & alpacas. We have a house cat, barn cat, & hairless crazy sphynx cat. We have our Golden doodle and often our grand dog too. The dogs are all very chill. But love to play when out in the yard. I love taking pet photos and I can almost bet while I’m with your pet I will take a few photos as well. I work from home running my own business and therefore I can easily manage my schedule. . Errands can typically be run by another family member if needed. That leaves me open to accommodate most pet needs. When I am watching your pet in your home I will provide some training or work with your training needs. I can provide some stimulating games. I love taking pet photos so I can keep you updated with cute photos! When taking your pet for a walk I will be happy to follow your routine. If snacks are ok for your 4 legged family member then I’ll be happy to spoil them with some.
About: Hello! My name is Erin and as a pre-veterinary student, I am currently working as a veterinary assistant at a clinic to further expand my knowledge in veterinary medicine and animal care. I am currently available anytime on Mondays, Wednesdays, and weekends. If you are looking for late afternoon or evening visits, I am also available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays after 6 PM. For my clients, I ensure thorough communication about how their fur babies are doing by providing updates throughout the day with cute pictures! I prioritize creating a comfortable environment for both their pets and them by establishing a safe and trustworthy setting.
About: For years I have been surrounded by animals and taking care of them. I am here to help owners who don’t have the time to give their dogs a walk or even needing pet sitting! Currently this is my only job, I only will be doing sitting or walking during the week. My routine basically depends on the animals and what client's wish me to help with or do during my hours with the animals. I can take care of lizards, dogs, and cats. I always first make sure what allergies or restrictions are needed for the pet at their home. I offer walking and pet sitting. I can come at certain times the owner needs by request to make sure the animal is safe and cared for.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience with both small and large breeds. As a dedicated dog walker, I’m comfortable handling different energy levels and personalities, from playful pups to more relaxed adult dogs. I make sure every walk is safe, engaging, and suited to your dog’s needs, giving them the exercise and attention they deserve! If caring for your animal, I will give them all the love, patience, and care they need to feel happy, comfortable, and right at home while you are away. I am currently working part time and in school! I take online classes so I would be able to walk your dog any day or time of the week except Saturdays! I prioritize safety and trust on every walk by keeping dogs securely leashed and always aware of our surroundings. I follow any specific instructions you provide, including preferred routes, pace, and any behavioral needs. I make sure your dog gets the right amount of exercise while staying safe, comfortable, and happy at all times.
About: At an early age, I started walking the neighborhood dogs. I’ve always loved animals, and treat them as my own. Friends and family often rely on me to watch their pets and take them out when needed. I’m very attentive and will treat every animal with the kindness they deserve. I work from home three days a week, and have the weekends off. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can take my work with me anywhere I go. Caring for your pets in your home will be my main priority. I will make sure they are well taken care of, loved, and feel safe.
“I highly recommend Claire! She’s very considerate, reliable, and very great in communication! Everyday besides refilling food water and cleaning litterbox, she checked on whether my cat Pirate is doing well, paid special attention to his mood, and updated me with photos. I came back with everything in order and a happy kitty. I will not hesitate to rely on her again next time!”
“We’re so grateful to Sophie for helping out with George on our big wedding day! She was communicative, kind, and incredibly helpful. She took George on a nice 30-minute walk, made sure he was fed, and spent time hanging out with him. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while we were away. Her support made our day that much more relaxing. Thank you, Sophie!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Westchester Heights
Ashley aka Red is the best in the area. She loves our pets as if they were her own and we cannot thank her enough for helping us when we have to go out of town. She is always on time, kind and courteous and I know our furry friends love her too. Thanks Red for all that you do for us and the community.
Ashley, who goes by “Red,” is an absolutely wonderful human being, and if she is available, book her! Back in May, as a first-time user of Rover, I created 3 separate bookings with a sitter who had glowing reviews. However, on the day of our meet & greet—only 1 week before our first trip—she completely ghosted us. I nearly panicked because I didn’t think we’d be able to find an available sitter on such short notice. I hopped back on Rover, entered my dates, filtered by Star Sitters, and hit “search.” Red was at the top of my search results, and after looking over her profile, I felt like she may be a good choice. Although her calendar showed her as available for the dates of our trip, I was prepared to be let down. I sent her a message explaining our situation. Not only did she respond quickly, she also responded with kindness & empathy. Best of all, she was available to sit for our beloved kitty! AND she volunteered to come over the next morning for a meet & greet! Less than 24 hours after reaching out to her, Red messaged me to let me know she was on her way to my house. Upon opening my door, I immediately liked her. Seriously. She just radiates this incredible energy! She is also so kind, compassionate, and engaging. She explained how she has devoted her life to caring for animals, and she just lit up as she was telling us about it. Best of all? Sassy, our shy & anxious kitty, came out of hiding pretty quickly to investigate her, and by the end of the visit, was giving Red love rubs on her leg! This was unprecedented, and we were absolutely shocked. Sassy’s response to meeting Red left no doubts in our mind; we had chosen the perfect caretaker for our precious kitty. We booked Red for two of our three camping trips. This review is based on our second booking with her, and we couldn’t be more pleased with her! She is the sweetest person! And an excellent communicator, which is vital for us anxious pet parents who are forced to leave our beloved (and vulnerable!) pets home alone. I had no qualms leaving Sassy alone this second time because I knew that Red would take excellent care of her…and she absolutely has! I am so sad that Red is not available for our third trip, but if she’s available next summer, you can bet I will be booking her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 405 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Westchester Heights. 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 Heights. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
