“Georgia is a fantastic sitter! I took a much-needed vacation and needed someone to check on my cat, who had recently been to the vet a few times for a minor medical condition. Georgia was extremely attentive to his feeding and play schedule. She updated me with daily pics and messages about his activities. It really relieved my anxiety about leaving him at home. Don't think twice about booking Georgia if she is available. Highly recommended!”
“Tiffany did an amazing job!! It was such a huge weight lifted off our shoulders knowing that our two kitties were taken care of while we traveled. Tiffany provided great updates and pictures during each drop in. Will definitely be returning to Tiffany again in the future!!”
“Kaili was wonderful for me and my cat while I was away for a few weeks. While I knew my cat would be shy and hide the entire time under the bed, Kaili provided plenty of updates and left treats out for her to find while she was alone, in addition to making sure there was plenty of water, food & clean litter, and updating me of any concerns and reaching out with any questions. I look forward to connecting with Kaili again for future drop-in visits!”
“David helped me out last minute when another sitter canceled on me! He was great and very patient with mocha, as she took her time warming up lol. He showed up everyday on time, was very communicative in making sure mocha’s needs were met. Would recommend booking David for your fur babies!”
“Jillian was fantastic! She was incredibly flexible and easy to work with. My cats are usually anxious when I travel but when I came home they were cheerful and calm”
“Faith was an outstanding cat sitter. She was trustworthy, reliable and responsive, and provided detailed updates during every visit. Faith spent extra time cuddling and playing with my cat each day and my cat absolutely loved her. I would recommend Faith to anyone for pet sitting needs without hesitation!!”
“Hannah is very timely in her responses, communicates well, took good care of my Emmy and is responsible- really everything one would need in a Rover drop-in sitter. I would definitely recommend her and will look to her for any of my future Rover needs!”
“Eliza is amazing. Her and her team are professional, kind, and took very good care of our cat while away. She did great on the house visits as our kitty seemed not stressed and very happy. Thanks Eliza!!!”
“This is my second time using Deandra. She is very thorough and responsive. I gave a long list of how to find things/what to do and she was very thorough with the list. I felt like my pet was in great hands and will use her again!”
About: I have been growing up with animals and training them, I have a really strong connection with all of them, which leads to well behaved dogs and cats when they are with me and my energy, I have the capacity to take all of their anxiety out, so they are more relax and happy when they get back home, this would help you to make them not be messy at home, because we all know that sometimes all this hyperactivity can get crazy at home. I’m currently free 5 time a week, I’m a college student so this is the perfect job for me because I’m going to have time to do what I like and go to school. I want my costumer and pet to feel the most comfortable the possibly can, I’ll be sending pictures of the whole process of walking the animal, when I pick it up, everything that it involves and of course when the animal gets back home safely.
“Molly was super communicative and did a great job accommodating one of our cat’s strange eating habits which we really appreciated. We enjoyed the pictures she was able to send us while we were away. I would happily recommend Molly!”
“Natalie was great. We needed someone last minute to check in our cats and she was super responsive and helpful. The rover app had a few issues at first but she was quick to respond to us and helped set our minds at ease.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have always enjoyed caring for them. Growing up, I would often take care of my extended family’s dogs and even watch friends’ dogs for some extra cash. More recently, I’ve also helped friends in the area by dog and cat sitting when they needed someone they could trust. Since I’m currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule, I decided to give pet care a try locally. I recently moved to Astoria, and one of the things I love most about the neighborhood is seeing so many people out walking and enjoying time with their pets. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. My schedule gives me flexibility during the week, and I’m excited to make pet care a regular part of my routine while getting to know the pets and people in my new neighborhood. I currently live in a 1bd apartment in Astoria and don’t have a pet of my own. I’m mainly looking to offer dog walking and drop-in visits, where I can give your pet plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. For drop in visits, I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, refreshing their water, giving them attention and playtime, and taking them outside for a bathroom break if needed. For dog walks, I’ll make sure your dog gets a safe and enjoyable walk.
“Just perfect! She is awesome. Communication is always on point, she is very reliable, knows what she is doing, and you can tell she has a passion for it. My dog tends to be shy around new people and Lia made sure to give her space and not overwhelmed her during the first visit, and I couldn’t believe my eyes she LOVED HER right away, when leaving for the walk Beba didn’t even look back! Honestly, best experience I’ve had so far throughout the years. Will be definitely rebooking with her!!! Recommend Lia to any other pet parents out there. She’s the best!”
“We had a great experience with Maria! She was communicative and our cat warmed up to her so quickly. She took great care of our little guy. Thank you, Maria!”
About: I've been working at a doggy daycare in San Francisco for over five years and I never get tired of working with puppies! I am capable of handling any sizes of dogs and I love it when they bond with me and follow me around. I am also experienced with dog sitting and it brings me joy to see the pups get snuggly at the end of the day. I’m working from home few days a week so I’m pretty flexible with the schedule. Evenings and weekends work for me too if you need a last minute reservation! My experience as a dog handler trained me to be aware of my surroundings and I am really good with communication so I won’t be hesitate to reach out to clients if I ever encounter any issues or have any questions regarding the pups.
“Wing Shan was super friendly, communicative, and caring. She took great care of our cat and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy — highly recommend her!”
About: Hi! I'm Dory, I'm a lifelong animal lover who understands that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and confident while you're apart. I’ve cared for pets my entire life and understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have experience caring for cats ranging from 8-week-old kittens to 10-year-old adults, and I currently have three cats of my own. I have also cared for senior dogs and am comfortable administering medication when needed. What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and personalized approach to pet care. I treat every pet on a case-by-case basis and prioritize both the owner’s preferences and the safety, comfort, and happiness of each animal. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience and care, I’ll make sure they receive the attention they need. I know how important peace of mind is while you’re away, so I'll provide regular photo updates and a detailed report after each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I look forward to treating your pets with the same love and care that I give my own! My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to provide consistent and dependable care throughout the week. I enjoy being able to dedicate my time to each pet’s individual routine and needs, whether that means a midday walk, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship and reassurance while their owners are away. I’ll make sure every pet receives attentive, loving care while you’re away. If you have any questions or specific needs, please feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate. I provide care in your home where your pet feels most comfortable. I’ll follow their normal routine, keep them happy and safe, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you’re away. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have, whether it’s feeding schedules, favorite toys, walk preferences, or little habits that help your pet feel at ease. Every pet has their own personality, and I love taking the time to get to know what makes them happy. During each visit, I’ll send photo updates and a little report so you can feel connected and reassured that your furry friend is doing well. I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

Very glad I decided to pick Yejin as a sitter! This was my first experience hiring someone outside of friends and family to take care of my cats. Yejin made the trip away more enjoyable because of how communicative she is, the detailed updates, and the pictures she takes when she is getting everything done. She was also great with the key exchange to my place which I appreciated very much. My apt doesn’t allow lock boxes and I only have one key fog. She was very nice coordinating with me on dropping off the keys before her visits and picking them up after the visits were completed.
If you’re on the fence about booking, don’t hesitate! I left my kitten, Eo, with Xiaoying for the weekend and he was in such great hands. I was surprised at first by how many photos I received (over 799 haha), but they ended up being my favorite part. They were a joy to scroll through and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She also brought toys to play with him which was very sweet. It was clear Eo was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I’d love to make this sitter my regular go-to whenever I travel. Highly recommend! ❤️
Eileen took excellent care of my cat! Very diligent in making sure his food and meds were mixed up nicely so he ate well the whole time (he has a chronic condition so requires a few steps and some monitoring - she understood and was comfortable managing things). And my cat who is a bit shy at first was sitting on her lap by the second visit! Clearly she has a way with animals including kitties. Plus took great pics and shared updates each time so I felt very comfortable. She’s a great pet sitter - highly recommended!
Tatyana was absolutely amazing! Great communication, wonderful pictures & just an amazing person. My dog absolutely loved her. Roxie gave her kisses & rolled over for belly rubs. I was here from California for a wedding & festivities. Tatyana took care of everything & made me so comfortable. She was so flexible & made extra time for us. I'm so appreciative! She is truly amazing! That you, Tatyana!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
