“Mary Jane took very good care of our cat, Gracie. This is our first experience with Rover and we're very happy with it and very happy with Mary Jane. We highly recommend her.”
“Stefanie is wonderful. She's a smart, reliable, respectful, and easygoing person. She is trustworthy, gentle and loving with our slightly skittish cats, and made real friends with them. Stefanie was so accommodating, sent us lots of updates and photos and truly set our minds at ease. We will ask her to kitty sit again without hesitation! If you want to relax on your getaway, hire her!!! She's a true gem!!”
“Danielle took such great care of our cat while we were away! Definitely went out of the way to do some things that made him feel cared for and loved like brushing him and playing with him. We would love to work with Danielle again!”
“I’d give Sierra 10000000 stars if a rover let me!! I NEVER have left my kitties with a stranger, EVER. My partner and I had to leave for two weeks for a memorial/family situation. I found Rocer, and looked at several folks. I messaged 4 potentials. Sierra answered my request almost immediately with a kind greeting and arranged a meet and greet. What a truly lovely person, immediately got a great vibe from her. ! Win #1 Since I have 3 rescue Persian kitties, who need extra tlc and daily eye cleanings, she told me she DID RESEARCH on persian cats before she came over. Win #2. She LOVES cats and helps at a rescue shelter Win #3 She brought little chicken treats with her, and quickly won over the kitties. Win #4. We had a really nice chat, showed her how to take care of the kitties and wipe their eyes. You can absolutely tell she is an animal person. Such a beautiful spirit. As terrified as I was about bring gone so long, I knew she was my choice. She sent photos and video EVERYDAY. Once or twice the app was behind and I texted her she IMMEDIATELY responded and resent any photos and videos I didn’t get bc of technical issues. (Not her fault). She spent extra time with all my kitties, went absolutely above and beyond with each of them, brushing them and cuddling them. Win #6 or was it #7 or #8? I lost track of how much WIN Sierra merits. When I came home, all the kitties were happy, healthy, and clearly well taken care of. I would absolutely hire her again in a skinny minute if I needed a kitty caregiver. My kitties adore her, and do I!! Thank you Sierra! You’re amazing! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Asked a lot of great questions during our get-to-know-you call, handled everything that came up during the visits really well, and was great with communication. My cat is shy and isn't always easy for sitters to get their eyes on, but Elizabeth did a great job on keeping me posted on what she was trying and how things worked, and kept the whole ordeal stress free.”
“I am happy with Stephanie and so are my cats! Stephanie was very reachable and clearly communicated. Professional, personable, and respectful. I will contact her whenever a cat sitter is needed. Highly recommended!”
About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs for years. I've taken care of dogs over 100lbs to 5 pounds, I've had cats all my life (including 4 right now) and they're some of my favorite creatures to care for. I currently work part time, and making time for caring and walking animals is what fulfills me the most! ( I only work part time so I can do this) My cats are strictly indoors, everyone has goes to the vet regularly and has a routine. When I visit clients house I make sure I follow their directions step by step. I listen intently and share my own experiences so they know I'm listening and will be comfortable and happy with me taking care of their pets.
“Aliza is a warm and friendly sitter who was able to look after our two kitties on relatively short notice. She had some great ideas for how to handle feeding time based on their personalities and food-related behavior. She was also easy to work with. Will hire again!”
About: I've had dogs all of my life and and at all stages of lives. I currently have one lab mix Conor, and in April my hound mix Belle, passed over the rainbow bridge. I have decided to start Rover to be able to play with and care for more dogs while I grieve my girl Belle— I would love to love on your fur babies! I have cared for young, old, healthy, sick, etc. dogs throughout my life and will give your pets the same love and care as I would give mine! I am great at following directions and it's super important to me that I follow your routines and pets needs! I am a full time wedding photographer and I own my business so I have a very flexible schedule during the week to meet your pets needs! I will care for your pets, talk them on walks, play time, etc. send you updates and photos and follow any and all instructions to make your pet feel comfortable and in their routine while you're away or busy during the week! Whatever your pet needs, I am happy to do!
About: I love being around dogs! I have experience walking and caring for a variety of breeds and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and gets the exercise they need. Whether it’s a fun walk, playtime, or just some extra attention, I treat every pup like they’re my own. I’m also great at following instructions to make sure your dog’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I work a hybrid role in the tech industry based in the Mid-Hudson Valley, with standard hours from 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday. I'm in the office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, but outside of those times, I offer flexible availability. I kindly ask for at least 24 hours' notice to ensure I can plan and provide the best possible care. I take pet safety and comfort very seriously when caring for them in their own space. I follow all client instructions closely and make sure pets feel secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. I always double-check that doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye during walks, and never leave pets unattended. Building trust—with both you and your dog—is my top priority, and I aim to create a calm, caring experience every visit.
“Amruta was awesome! She was very friendly and accommodating. I received lots of updates and pictures which made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her. Would recommend!”
“Sara did a great job. From the pics she sent, it looked like our cat warmed up to her easily, even climbing on her lap for pets (which is rare!). This made me feel so much better about being away from her.”
“He did pretty good!! He cleaned the cat box ,feed the cat and gave her the medicine on time He even clean the cat plates and chance the water. Even took out the trash with out me asking.”

About: I've had three dogs throughout my life growing up and in my adult life. I currently own two cats, Kitty Smalls and Kat Williams, two rescue tabbys. I love them and I'd love to extend that love to your fur babies. If I could only do pet care, I would. I'd love this to be a full-time thing for me because I love animals and caring for them.

Shanea P.
“I cannot recommend Shanea enough! She watched my Pomeranian, Mocha, for a few days in my home, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning, her communication was top-notch—super responsive, professional, and kind. I got regular updates with pictures and little notes about how Mocha was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Mocha absolutely loved her! It was clear she was being loved on, played with, and well cared for. When I got home, Mocha was happy, relaxed, and my place was just as I left it—clean and cared for. It’s not easy trusting someone with your home and your pet, but Shanea made it effortless. She treated Mocha like family, and that means everything to me. I’ll 100% be booking with them again. If you're looking for a sitter who genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond—look no further!”

Arlington cat parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn’t be happier with the care our pets received! We have a pit-bull mix and seven rescue cats (not exactly a small task) and our sitter handled everything with so much patience, kindness, and love. Our dog got plenty of exercise, attention, and snuggles, and our cats (even the shy ones) were clearly comfortable and well cared for. We got regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Danielle took the time to get to know each animal’s personality and needs. Coming home to happy, relaxed pets and a tidy house was the best feeling. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves animals and goes above and beyond, we can’t recommend Danielle enough!
Audrey is fantastic. She looked after my cat for a week while I was away and could not be more pleased with the experience. My cat requires some special attention due to his medications and prescription food neither of which were a problem for Audrey. I will definitely be using her services again.
