About: My name is Jess and I’m new(ish) to Broome County! I work for the county have my degree in Criminal Justice. I’ve previously worked with Rover in Denver, Colorado so this isn’t my first go-around! I've grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and now have 2 cats of my own! My mother was also a vet tech for several years and taught me how to properly interact with dogs and cats to make them feel safe and trusting in my care! It's also helpful to have her knowledge handy in case anything arises with your beloved pet that you or I may be concerned about. I also briefly worked as a secretary in a vets office in PA where i regularly handled distressed and anxious animals from cats and dogs to goats a horses! I'm comfortable walking, playing, brushing, and bathing your fur babies, whatever they may need! Expect lots of photo updates! I also have experience administering medications (injections and pills) I currently work for the county on a standard M-F 8-4 schedule. I’m awaiting a promotion that may, at times, require me to stay late if we’re in preparation for a trial but I’ll know well in advance if and when that time comes. I want to ensure you and your pet are as comfortable with my presence as possible! Please let me know of any and all rules/routines/ expectations so I can follow them accordingly!

“Colleen was very responsive to all messages and came out very early to keep my cats on their regular feeding schedule. They all have very specific food needs and she did a good job ensuring that they were receiving the right food and mixing in enough water. She left good feedback as well to make sure their eating habits were in line with normal. She also was able to get close enough to our shyest cat to send a photo at every visit.”

She followed our instructions carefully and sent daily updates. We are extremely pleased with her care and will definitely contact her again for any future pet sitting.”

About: My name is Michelle and I am a former teacher, now stay at home mom to two babies and one dog. I have always had dogs in my life. Growing up, I had a Sheltie and two rescue Beagle mixes. Currently, I have one sweet pup, a hound named Benjamin who is equal parts lazy, silly, and "follow the nose." As a former teacher, I know how busy life can get. I also know how hard it can be to find someone you trust to take care of your fur babies and I'd love to help. I'm currently available occasional boarding services (check my calendar for availability). I have a large, fenced in backyard. For boarding, dogs MUST be fully house broken, crate trained, and 100% good with children as I have two small children in the house. Not accepting puppies at this time. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play. I have one dog in my home, he is friendly and ready to play (or not play if your dog prefers, Ben's often a lazy boy, too)! I'm able to feed, walk, or crate your dog as requested. Dogs are allowed on the furniture.

About: Hi! I’m Shell, a compassionate and dependable animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets and working in a veterinary hospital. As a Veterinary Assistant, I’m comfortable handling animals, paying attention to their behavior and needs, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I know that leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful, so I treat every animal like an individual—not just another booking. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some playtime, a little extra attention, or simply a calm companion while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel happy and loved. 🐶💗 I’m attentive to details, reliable, patient, and always willing to follow your pet’s specific routine and instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and little check-ins so you don’t have to wonder how your furry friend is doing! Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness come first. I work as a Veterinary Assistant, so animals are already a big part of my daily life! I’m excited to bring that experience into caring for your pets. I’m experienced with handling animals safely and recognizing when they’re stressed or uncomfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s routine carefully and provide a calm, safe, loving environment.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by 5 English Mastiffs, a pitbull, and 5 cats, so I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and personalities. Most recently, I had the privilege of caring for my dog Rex during his final months, which gave me experience with health issues, medications, and supporting pets with disabilities. Over the years, I’ve also watched many different dogs, and nothing makes me happier than when they come back for another stay! It feels like welcoming back old friends. Being around animals truly brings out the best in me, and I treat every pet as if they’re part of my own family. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and gentle, or needs a little extra care, I’ll provide the love and attention they deserve. Feel free to contact me with any questions at any time! I’m available every day for walks and house sitting! I’m currently in PA school and have just one in person class from 8:30-11 Monday-Thursday. If I have to leave them for any amount of time I will be fully transparent and I will make sure it’s within the time frame you prefer! If needed I can take a pet for a day. I’m currently in graduate school at Upstate Medical and just have a class from 8:30-11. But your pet will always be treated like a family member! They will be safe, loved, and well fed. I love playing outside with dogs because it’s the best part of their day!

About: I am a pre-veterinary student with a lifelong love of animals. I grew up caring for three dogs, which taught me how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I also have experience working in a veterinary office, where I gained valuable knowledge about animal care, behavior, and safety. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and will treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life since I have three dogs of my own. Feeding, walking, grooming, and playing with them is just built into my routine. I genuinely enjoy the structure and joy they bring, and caring for animals has become second nature to me. At home, I keep my dogs on a consistent routine with feeding, walks, play, and grooming. I’ll care for your pets the same way—with love, attention, and reliability, making sure they feel safe and happy while in my care.

“Great services. Carissa is really patient and thoughtful taking care of my cats. And she always tries best to do all care stuff and asks me if she has any concerns. She sent me many photos during the drop-in visit and my cats are really comfortable with her, even the timid one. I really appreciate her help while I am out of town. And I will select her service again if I am out of town in the future.”

Most bookings cost between $14 and $26 per visit. 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.

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 .

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
