“Anastasiia did an excellent job caring for my cat. She was reliable, gentle, and made sure everything was done on time. I really appreciated the updates and photos—it gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cat was relaxed, happy, and clearly comfortable with her. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her!”
“Ariella was absolutely fantastic! They went above and beyond to not only take care of our senior cat, but also feed our fish! Would absolutely book Ariella again!”
“Rachel did a great job taking care of Zu! He needed a friend while I was away and she definitely provided! She also provided all the necessary care and maintenance that comes with a FIV cat. Will definitely reach out to her again.”
About: **My FT job is a revolving schedule meaning I do not always work the same exact shift daily and may not have the same exact days off weekly.** NYC AREA ONLY! I must be able to reach your address via transit. Due to transit times, I may not be able to take a last-minute request. **Dogs I have 17 years of experience, cats I grew up with and rabbits I have 7 years with** I had the pleasure of owning a big beautiful rottweiler greater swiss mountain dog boy for many years until I lost him to cancer. I also grew up with cats! Check out my kitty profile to see my best friend, an orange tabby boy. He made it all the way to high school putting up with me before it was his time to go. Losing him was as hard as losing my college best friend, my rottie mix. . Outside of that, I professionally raised, trained, and showed rabbits for a decade and had a professional show horse while I was in college. With the passing of my big rottie boy, I couldnt bring myself to have a new dog and my schedule is too busy to own another these days so instead I offer my services to help other busy pet owners. I have worked with pit bulls, huskies, stubborn shepherds, all kinds of dogs from volunteering at shelters to taking care of friends dogs while they were out of town to just helping neighbors get in potty breaks and walks for elderly pet owners who cant always go for long walks. . I am in my later 30s and have experience in the hospitality industry, corporate security industry, airline industry, and medical field (ex FF/Medic). Your pet is like one of your kids- their safety and security matters as much as someone who understands animal body language. Your dog and I can work on basic things like leash manners while on our walk (its all included if they need it). . **Schedule notes cont: I am only given a short amount of schedules in advance so I have no way to book beyond my current assigned FT job schedule. Regretfully, I am not able to pre-book pet clients then tell the FT job I cant work those days. They will not honor that request as the contract with them strictly says they are the first priority- meaning I HAVE to wait until they release any upcoming weekly schedules. This is beyond my control and I applogize for the inconvience it causes. I do state that I only do pet services in my FREE TIME which means whenever Im not commuting to work or have to be at work. Please take this into consideration when booking! I am ONLY available to take dogs out for walks in my FREE TIME. Must book at least 24 hours in advance. I will update my availability based on my primary job schedule, any time I am out of town, or unavailable due to personal life appointments. NOTE: My day job is a revolving schedule. I am not always available the same time daily or weekly. You MUST discuss this with me as I only recieve so many company schedules in advance. IM AWARE THIS IS NOT CONVIENIENT, but my hands are tied. This is how the company operates. I do NOT offer in my home sitting (my landlord does not allow pets in this facility/only service animals). I am a will check on your pet house call and on the go dog walker only. If your dog does not have a harness, I will NOT be walking your dof for their OWN safety. Dogs can easily slip out of leashes. It also helps them with leash manners and allows me better control of them if I needed to move them quickly from a situation. I prefer to walk dogs away from busy roads/busy intersections and will take advantage of any nature trails nearby. Dog parks can be stressful on dogs, so unless your dog has playmates that it regularly sees at a specific dog park, I will not take your dog to an unfamiliar area and let them run free with other dogs where they could become involved in a fight. Generally, I walk them around their local neighborhood or on a nature trail. NO car rides (I dont even have a car). Your dog always stays close to home and in a familiar environment. Treats will be used for positive reinforcement but due to dogs having food allergies, I DO NOT provide treats. All owners must provide their OWN pet-specific "safe treats" and note ANY restrictions such as "Only one or two whole treats" or for bigger dogs, "5 cookies max" (these are just generic examples, its up to you to know your pets diet and leave instructions for what your pet needs). CATS- same deal, although cats typically wont take treats from strangers so don't be offended or surprised if you find kitty crunchies left untouched. Kitty churus/"tubes"- if your cat cannot have the whole tube, please leave a ziplock baggie that I can put the remainder of the tube in. I will only squeeze out the directed amount and then place the tube in the baggie and leave it in your fridge so it doesnt spoil from the coastal heat/humidity and so bugs cant get in it.
“I was really nervous leaving my Sylvester because I never did anything like this before but I must say I would definitely use them again I felt like they were family instead of a sitter for my boy they really were happy to care for him and I was happy I chose them it made my first experience a pleasant one”
“Stephanie and Brian are great pet sitters! I felt so comfortable knowing they were taking good care of my cat while I was away. They sent me updates and pictures and were very accommodating. Highly recommend them. Will definitely be rebooking with them in the future!”
“Juan is a excellent cat sitter. He was very friendly with my babies and took time to send pictures of my babies each day when i was out of country. Will definitely rebook him.”
“Alexandra did a great job with our 17 year old cat. We were out of town for 3 days and came back to a very clean living space and a very content Isis. Would definitely recommend Alexandra for overnight sitting with your pet!”
About: I used to live with 5 dogs and take care of them, walk them twice a day and fed them with baked fresh meat. They are my mom’s dogs and I see them as my brothers I’m currently applying for pediatric residency training, so I’m available any time and I have a car to drive to destinations almost anywhere, thank you. I used to help my mom cake care if the dogs and cats, she works a lot so almost me doing everything about pets, walking them and take the youngest one to a training class.
“Valeria was amazing staying with my 2 cats when i was away for a weekend! She took great care of them and sent picture updates everyday. She was also so easy to work with and flexible to my schedule - I almost had to cancel and she was able to work it out with me when I found out I didn't have to cancel! Will definitely have her come watch my boys again ☺️”
“Minyon us SUPER accommodating. Even with my hectic schedule and several emergencies at once, she understood and gave me grace through every step of the process. When my pups met her, they instantly fell in love with her. She sent videos and pictures every visit and made sure to take them on nice long walks... which my pups love. I would ABSOLUTELY book with Minyon again!”
“Eleni was amazing. I had to leave for an extended time for Christmas and she came by and took care of my cat. My cat needs all the attention in the world and Eleni gave her just that. She updated me everyday and even showed up on the holiday. I'm super protective of my cat and I'd recommend Eleni to anyone.”

About: Hi, I’m Ruth. I’m the kind of sitter who treats your dog like family. I focus on calm, steady care, clear communication, and making sure your pup feels safe, understood, and genuinely loved while you’re away. I work with all temperaments, from shy rescues to high energy pups who need structure and play. I pay close attention to body language, routines, and comfort cues so your dog settles in quickly. I offer walks, potty breaks, overnight care in your home, medication support, and gentle training reinforcement. I send real time updates with photos and notes so you always know how your dog is doing. I keep things simple and dog centered. I follow your routines closely, maintain a calm environment, and make sure your pup gets the right mix of exercise, affection, and downtime. If you want someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely invested in your dog’s wellbeing, I’m here. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I already structure my time around steady check ins, feeding schedules, enrichment, and quiet companionship. I plan my mornings and evenings with space for visits, walks, and updates, and I keep my afternoons flexible for longer stays or extra attention when a pet needs it. Caring for animals is part of the rhythm of my week, and I move through it with calm consistency so every pet feels supported. I care for pets in a way that keeps them comfortable and grounded, whether I am in my home or my client’s home. I follow routines closely, keep feeding and water schedules consistent, maintain clean litter or potty areas, and move with a calm presence so animals stay relaxed. I spend time observing their comfort cues and adjust my pace to match their needs, offering play, affection, or quiet companionship. When pets stay with me, I create a safe and cozy space that supports their habits and give them steady attention throughout the day. I send updates with photos and notes so owners always feel connected to their pet’s experience.
About: I have had pets, or as I say friends my whole life. For the past 22 years, I have taken care of my own as an adult. I have had both cats and dogs both at the same time. I treat all of my friends like family. I am a dedicated animal lover. I live in Rockaway beach. I am available on Thursdays and Fridays and most weekends. I am available Monday-Wednesday after 6PM. I am very flexible as well to accommodate special requests. I do not have a fenced in yard, however, I take my dog Tina for long walks around Rockaway, on the beach off season, and to the dog run on Shore.
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats my whole life. Friends and family have had me house sit and walk their dogs and check in on their cats for many years. I have a bachelor's degree in Animal Science and plenty of experience with small pets, birds and livestock as well! Any animal you have, I can care for. I have experience with medication, wound care, and injections if your pet needs those things as well. I've worked with plenty of seniors, young puppies/kittens, and special needs animals over the years too. I currently only work very early mornings and afternoons on Thursdays and Saturdays. I have time in my schedule to walk, feed, and check in on pets of all sorts. When at your home I can play with your dogs or cats. I can work on basic obedience and crating as well. I will clean any bowls, crates, or play areas needed and have no problem scooping waste from your yard if requested after letting your dog out. I will try my best to make your pet feel safe and comfortable with me at all times.
About: Former dog owner and shelter volunteer with over 15 years of experience. I’m a go-to sitter for friends and I’m an active runner on the Rockaway boardwalk. I'm very comfortable and capable with all temperaments and energy levels. I have a hybrid work schedule, where I work from home 3 days during the week, and would be able to take breaks for walks. Weekends I am free. I live in a 4th floor walk up that allows pets. Other tenants have dogs. I live less than 1 block away from the boardwalk and beach for walks.

I can’t say enough good things about Rachel and the care she provides for our cats. She keeps great track of all the medications we need to give them, and handles changes so well. Our cats always do well when Rachel cares for them, because of her consistency and the extra love and attention she gives them.

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.

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 .

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 .
