“Christina did a great job taking care of our cats and we really appreciated all of the visit details she sent after each visit, it made our trip away that much better knowing that they were being well cared for. We will definitely be using her services again.”
“Really appreciated Kasey’s flexibility when I needed someone to drop in on my dog Amber. Amber warmed up to her immediately at the meet and greet! I felt very reassured knowing someone responsible and dog-savvy was checking in on her on the day I was called into the city unexpectedly for work. Would absolutely book Kasey again for any future drop ins!”
“Jacquelin was fantastic. We were not the easiest group. We had many steps and requests and she had no problems whatsoever. She was extremely friendly and sent us many pictures. All of our animals seemed very excited to see her and we will definitely be reaching out to her again.”
About: Hi, I’m Breyalyn! Professional bellyrub giver, treat dispenser (with permission, of course), and full-time dog lover. As a proud dog mom to my spoiled girl Suzie, I know that dogs aren’t “just pets”, they’re family. Whether your pup loves his zoomies, is a professional squirrel investigator, or a couch potato who wants to nap, I’m happy to match their vibe. We’ll go on exciting walks, play their favorite games, and make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve. When your dog is with me, you can expect: 🐾 Tail-wagging walks and adventures 🎾 Playtime until someone needs a nap (probably me) 💛 Endless love, cuddles, and attention 📸 Plenty of photo updates because I know you’re going to miss them 🏡 Care that’s personalized to your dog’s routine and personality My goal is simple: make your dog feel like they’re on their own little vacation while giving you total peace of mind. So if your pup is looking for a new human friend who will love them almost as much as you do, I’d love to meet you both. Just don’t be surprised if they drag you back to my door next time.. they tend to make themselves at home! 😊😂 I work from home, so I am home ALL day. I love to exercise and we have a fenced in yard for all of the playtime needed (a larger yard for a leashed walk). I’m always open to going for additional longer walks elsewhere Your pet’s safety is always going to be my priority. They will have a separate apartment area of the house (that I spend all of my time in). They will also have a fenced in yard. Food and water (treats if allowed) will be provided all day. My doggie will be kept separate unless otherwise agreed upon!
“TJ graciously came for a meet and greet last week. Today was first dog care and the dogs were happy to see him. He has good dog karma and I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with him. Puppy was happily worn out from lots of yard play. Will definitely use him again.”
“Veronica was wonderful with our two cats. I would recommend her to anyone and would use her services again anytime. It was the first time I used a sitter, and it worked out perfectly”
“We (and our 3 dogs!) love Julia!!!! We have booked her multiple times & she is everything you would want in a pet sitter. She’s punctual, easy to communicate with, flexible when unexpected things arise, has a loving presence, is attentive to our dogs needs, clearly loves animals & always takes the cutest puppy photos. Whenever she arrives our dogs get super excited and we feel confident that our dogs are in safe hands. We highly recommend her!”
About: I will put my best foot forward to make sure you and your dog have the most comfortable experience while having me as a sitter . Typically have to walk my friends dogs when they or out to work recently bin puppy sitting for another figured I could turn it into a gig ! Make sure they get enough food and water and go out for enough walks.Also a bit of play time never hurts any body I always say!
About: I have 5 years of pet care experience and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, keeping their space clean, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’ll do my best to make sure they feel right at home. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll treat your dog with the same love and care I would give my own! I love making sure animals feel safe loved and comfortable. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m dependable, organized, and understand how important it is to keep pets on their usual routines while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions. I want every pet to feel comfortable and safe in their own environment while their owner is away. I give them plenty of attention, keep their spaces clean, and make sure they always have fresh water. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to send updates and pictures to keep owners informed. My goal is to make sure every pet feels loved and well cared for, just like I would care for my own dog.
About: I'm a dog owner of 5 years to a miniature schnauzer named Oscar, and he's my best friend! I have pet sat locally for 3 years, and have lots of experience walking/caring for dogs of all ages. I love all pets, and hope I am able to help out in whatever way you need! As an actor between jobs, I have lots of time between weekly auditions to pet sit. Auditions come at different times during each week, so my availability is flexible and varies week to week. With many years of pet sitting within clients homes, what makes me special is that I never leave your home once I'm with your furry friend(s), even if they do well alone for periods of time. I'm very happy to play, walk, and just hang out with your pet, whether it be for a quick check-in visit, or a multiple night stay!
“Megen took such great care of our two cats while we were away for the weekend. They have special feeding needs, and she made sure everything was just right for them. She also sent lots of cute photos which made being away a little easier. It’s clear she truly cares about the animals she looks after. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you, Megen!”
About: Hi there.. I have always owned a dog in my life. I have worked at an animal shelter for 2 1/2 years taking care of the dogs. I have been around most breeds and personality types. I am calm and patient around dogs and know how to read their body language. But I also love to be goofy and playful with them when the environment is right. I believe every dog is an individual and what might work for one dog won’t always work for another. I have some dog training under my belt from working with other trainers and taking classes but I’m not certified yet. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out! I am currently working part time at an animal shelter so I have plenty of time to dedicate to working with your pups! I currently only offer dog walking and stop ins but will eventually start boarding. I currently don’t offer boarding but I will eventually! At a client’s home I’ll make to gather all the details from the owner to ensure an easy transition for both them and their animals. The last thing I want is an owner to worry while they’re away! I’ll treat your animals like they’re my own.
“Mario was great to work with. He sent plenty of pics and updates daily. Lottie was well taken care of. Mario even collected eggs from our chickens. Was very satisfied with Mario and will be a future return customer.”
“Rebecca was so polite and sweet. Rebecca and piper hit it off great. Instructions were no problem and from what we seen it was great visits , thankyou Rebecca for the help and we hope to have more drop ins in the future.”
About: Growing up we always had pups in our home. It’s what makes home, home! Through out the years I have gained tons of experience with dogs since I have raised many since they were just puppies. I am capable in potty training them both on the pee pee pad and outside. I enjoy exercise so your pup will get lots of it! We will go on long morning walks, play and relax together. Your dog is in good hand with me, I promise to care for your dog like they are my own. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Looking forward to meeting your fur baby I work a M-F 9-5. Long walks in the morning and play time in the evenings. I will be there the rest of the time. I can drop in mid day as well for a walk if needed. Can also bring the dog to work if allowed. Your home is your dogs home and I will treat it as such. I will respect your space and privacy and just use common areas and provide you with updates constantly to ensure you your pup is in good hands.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Balmville
Jasmine was absolutely wonderful. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and treated them as if they were her own pets. She gave them plenty of love, attention, and time to explore and enjoy the outdoors. It was clear from the start that Jasmine is a true professional who genuinely cares about the animals in her care. We felt completely comfortable knowing our crew was in such good hands, and we are so happy we found her. We would highly recommend Jasmine to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to care for their pets!
I can't recommend this cat sitter highly enough! From the moment we left, I knew our cats were in caring and capable hands. Not only did they provide excellent care for our cat—making sure they were fed, comfortable, and given plenty of attention—but they also went above and beyond by helping with several household responsibilities while we were away. They brought in our mail regularly, put the trash and recycling bins out on collection day, and kept an eye on the house, which gave us tremendous peace of mind during our trip. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and photos that reassured us our cats were happy and well cared for. It's rare to find someone who is both dependable and genuinely caring. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and willingness to help with extra tasks made all the difference. We returned home to happy cats and a well-maintained house. We will absolutely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and exceptional pet sitter.
Jeanette was amazing with our cats when we had to leave for a few days from a medical reason. She was so flexible and spent quality times with them. The cats were well-fed, happy under our care. We didn't have to worry about a single thing. I cannot recommend her enough.
Catherine (Gianna) was GREAAAAAT. This was my first time booking someone to watch my cats rather than asking friends/family, so I was a bit apprehensive, but Gianna made me so comfortable. We did a meet and greet before our booking which was great. I have a skittish cat who doesn’t like to come out when there are other people around but to my surprise she had no problem coming out when Gianna was there. She sent pictures and gave me updates and even picked up a frame that had fell and cracked. Amazing experience and I will definitely be using Gianna to watch my babies during my next trip!
Loren went above and beyond in watching our cat while we were away for a week! This is the first time we’ve ever had someone outside of family watch our cat and we’re extremely anxious, but Loren put all that to ease! From the meet and greet to the final visit has been extremely stressless for us. She sent extremely detailed notes every visit and even brought up our garbage cans and vacuumed up litter in the basement. Would definitely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
