About: Please read my about me section for 2026 schedule. :) I’ve always loved being around dogs and cats, and I’ve taken care of pets for family, friends, and clients over the years. I’m patient with pets and treat them the same way I’d want someone to treat my own. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality instead of treating every dog or cat the same. I’ll make sure they’re fed, walked, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I also know how important updates are for owners, so I’ll keep you posted with photos while you’re away. Ryan’s on pet duty! :) I’m a college student, so I have a semi-flexible schedule that lets me make time for pet care. *Reduced rates may apply for 3+ pets.* 2026 Availability Schedule: Weekdays: After ~3:30 PM Thursdays: Available Weekends: Available Holidays: Available - I understand that pets are more than just animals - they’re family - and I’ll make sure they get the attention, care, and routine they’re used to. I always communicate with owners and provide updates because I know how important and comforting it is to know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away! I treat every pet like they’re my own and always put their safety and comfort first. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll follow any instructions you leave, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or special requests. I’ll also respect your home and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

I especially appreciated great communication with Maria, and a daily doze of cute pictures and videos of my cat!! Will definably trust Maria with taking care of Mist in the future”
“Very responsive and kind. Morris is a bit of a shyer cat but they kept me updated on him the entire time and did their best to try to make him feel comfortable. We had to change the pick up time and they were very accommodating as well. Definitely recommend!”
About: I grew up on a farm and have been around cats and dogs my entire life. We always had several cats at home and dogs outside, so caring for animals was just a normal part of growing up for me. I’ve taken care of cats from when they were tiny kittens all the way into old age. My last cat had diabetes, and I cared for him for years, including giving him insulin injections every day. I’m very comfortable feeding, playing with, cleaning up after, and caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve always loved animals and really enjoy spending time with them and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. I’m also a native Russian speaker and speak Russian fluently. I am retired now and have a very free schedule as of now. I am very flexible and have availabilities any time and any day! I live inside an apartment, it's in a nice area with a nice park nearby. The building allows all types of pets inside there.
“Lena was awesome. She made sure my cat was fed and the litter box scooped. She stayed in good communication. She was also flexible and modified the drop in visit schedule when I had to return home a day early. I would book her again!”
“Vivian was amazing with my kitty Peanut! I had communication with her every visit and she sent multiple pics and updates. Peanut was shy and took some time to warm up to her but Vivian was constant with her attention and helped Peanut to feel secure while we were away. I would hire her again in a heartbeat-if you need a compassionate and dependable person, Vivian is your best bet!”

I always prioritize safety, routine, and a calm environment when caring for pets. I carefully follow each pet’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, and special medical needs.

About: Hi! I live in New York City and love caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, punctual, and comfortable walking dogs in all weather, including cold or snowy days. I provide photo updates and lots of attention to make pets feel happy and safe. I am available in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and nearby areas, and I can travel to your home if needed. Pet care is an important part of my week. I plan my schedule around the pets I care for, making sure they get walks, feeding, and attention at the right times. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends to fit the owner’s needs. I provide attentive and reliable care for pets, whether in my home or in the client’s home. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, exercise, and any special needs. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and I provide updates with photos and messages so owners always know their pets are happy.
About: I've been dog-walking for friends and neighbors since I was a kid, and post-college began dog-walking professionally in Brooklyn and Manhattan. I've cared for dogs young and old, and I tailor my care to each specific dog's needs, including health-related exercise restrictions and the dog's level of comfort around other animals and people. I work at a coffee shop in Brooklyn about five days a week. Mostly available for morning or evening drop-in visits, but I'm fairly flexible! I am a mom to a shy rescue kitty named Crowley. When he first came into my life, he was scared of people, so it has been a steady journey of building trust with him, making sure he feels safe and comfortable. He's made a lot of progress in the time that I've had him, trusting me, becoming more social with guests, and generally living his best life as a silly, spunky little guy. It just goes to show what a world of difference a loving home can make!
“Brittany goes above and beyond to keep my pets happy while I’m away! Also my kitties love her, and they’re picky about people. She’s my first choice to take care of my babies when we’re away!”
About: I've been caring for different types of animals my entire life, but definitely gravitate towards cats more. I have three cats of my own and want to open a sanctuary someday. I mostly work from home, so I'm available for overnights or to even stay with them during the day. I understand that some cats need more socialization than others. I'd love to know your cat's schedule! Every cat is different so I know the routines I have with my cats won't necessarily be applicable to others'. It also helps to know how much attention they like so that I'm not harassing them.
“Sarah was great with our two cats! She went above and beyond to locate our very shy kitten who refused to emerge from hiding spots. She was very responsive and I’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Hasan took amazing care of my pets, Dizzy and Dude, while I was away. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about them, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. You can tell he pays attention to the little things and treats pets with a lot of patience and kindness. Dizzy and Dude both seemed happy, comfortable, and very well looked after when I got back. I’d absolutely trust Hasan again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and dependable cat sitter.”

Paulina is an amazing sitter. She has watched my boy cat a couple of times and she does an amazing job taking care of him, keeping him entertained, and communicating. I can tell he loves her company. She has also been very accommodating on short notice which is greatly appreciated.
Charlotte was excellent. She was highly communicative and shared videos that gave me insight into how things were going with all of our pets. She also took care of an an issue in the house that came up while we were away. I will definitely be hiring her again.
Hannah was a complete angel! I was nervous as this was my first time using Rover and I have a newly adopted kitten who terrorizes his sister but Hannah won him over and even followed up to ask what to do about him eating my adult cat’s food. Truly an angel. Would book again in a heartbeat.

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 .

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 .
