“My cat Blackie is a Ferrel cat that was found in the woods near our home. Needless to say, he has some issues and was very difficult to socialize. I don't feel comfortable leaving him with just anyone. Erika has proven to be very gentle and kind with Blackie. He lets her sit with him, pet him and brush his hair. She has also gone over and above with Blackie, in one instance when my husband and I had a cruise planned, Blackie decided to disappear outside. Instead of not showing up, Erika still came over during her regularly scheduled hours to look for him and about 3-4 days into the cruise she did find him, and he came in for her which was a big relief for me. I also feel that she is trustworthy and do not worry when she is in my home. In summary, I would highly recommend her and believe she is very good at her job.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 15, from energetic kittens who need constant play to dogs of all ages and energy levels. I’m reliable, attentive, and comfortable with feeding routines, walks, litter care, playtime, and giving young or nervous animals the patience they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first, and I’ll treat them like my own. I go into work three days a week, so I keep pet care to my off days when I’m fully available and can give your pet my complete attention. On those days I’m home and flexible, so your pet gets consistent walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day rather than being rushed or left alone. I build the day around your pet’s existing routine so the transition feels seamless and comfortable for them. Safety is my top priority in both my home and yours. I never leave pets unsupervised outdoors. Inside, I keep hazards out of reach, maintain a clean and calm space. I respect your space, follow your instructions closely, and lock up carefully every time. I stay alert to each pet’s behavior and comfort, and I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always have peace of mind.
“Andrea is wonderful with Teddy. I am so glad we found Andrea as she always takes such good care of Teddy when I need. Andrea is friendly, reliable, trustworthy and responds timely. I highly recommend Andrea for the best pet care services.”
“Gerald was such a good communicator and so great with our Stella!! He made both her and us so comfortable during the few days he watched her. We got the cutest pictures :) I would recommend him to anyone!”
“This is my second time having Lauren do drop ins for my cat and just like last time it was a wonderful experience. She is so kind and truly gives me peace of mind that my cat is safe, taken care of and in good hands.”
About: I have experience in overnight dog sitting around my neighborhood. Multiple people have relied on me to walk, feed, and stay overnight with their animals. I currently quitting my full time job therefore my schedule is very flexible and open. With being unemployed I am prioritizing this as my main job at the moment! I will let them out/walk them in the morning and feed them. Depending on the dog, I usually let them out every 4-5 hours. Depending on the instructions from the owner, I would go by that according for any other care.
About: I've cared primarily for dogs for over 25 years, frequently serving as the go-to walker and sitter for friends and family for the past decade. For the past 3 years, I've also cared for rabbits, and I have done drop-ins and overnight stays for multi-cat homes. I'm experienced and comfortable with administering oral medications and topical treatments for cooperative pets. I'm local to Babylon and available for drop-ins and walks nearby. I keep a flexible schedule and can visit at just about any time of day, seven days a week. For midday bookings, I request some margin for service time due to demand. I currently offer drop-in visits and dog walking. I follow each owner's house rules closely, including which rooms pets are allowed in, which pets can be together and which need to stay separate, and any feeding or medication routines. Dogs stay leashed any time we're outside a designated play area, and I check that doors, gates, and enclosures are secure before I leave.
About: Cozy area, lots of attention, run with dog, walk around yard, can meet my dogs! Lots of playtime, food & water, outside time. I’ve owned dogs for over 10 years in my family, I’ve dogsat before in a clients home for a week, whom was also a diabetic, so I had to also give insulin. I am a huge dog lover, and always love being around them. We can go to dog parks, take plenty of walks around the neighborhood, and have great treats! I hope to provide great hospitality for your dog or dogs, and have them enjoy their time just as much as I would be. By letting me watch your dogs, I will make sure we all have the best time together! **please ask about availability during the week as the options on here aren’t the best** I have a full time job during the week.. On weekdays I am usually available on Mondays after 6pm, Tuesdays after 5pm, and Fridays after 5pm! Weekends vary, I’ll do my best to keep my calendar updated! It depends on what the client wants me to do to care for them! Making sure they go to the bathroom, hanging out with them inside, taking them for a walk, etc. overall, I like to make sure the pet(s) are getting attention and being entertained.
About: As a Star Sitter with 40+ five-star reviews, I provide reliable, one-on-one walks tailored to each dog’s personality, energy level, age, and routine. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or simply needs some company and exercise while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive attentive and loving care. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, senior dogs, and dogs with special needs. I can also administer oral medication when needed. During every visit, your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I’m happy to follow their usual routine and your instructions, and you’ll receive updates so you know how they’re doing. I’m available throughout the week in the Babylon area and would love to become someone both you and your dog can count on. 🐶 As a dedicated dog walker, I’m available throughout the week from 8 AM to 6 PM. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate both regular weekly walks and occasional visits. Dog walking is part of my regular routine, so I’m able to provide consistent, reliable care and give each dog the time, exercise, and attention they need. I’m a dog owner myself, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. My Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Westley, is part of my family, and caring for him has made me even more attentive to each dog’s individual personality, routine, and comfort. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine and instructions as closely as possible. Safety is always my priority, including secure leashes and doors, awareness of surroundings during walks, and careful attention to each dog’s behavior and needs. I’m also experienced with senior dogs, dogs with special needs, and administering oral medication.
“I can’t say enough good things about Steff. She has cared for my cat on multiple occasions — not just this trip, but also the time before — and she has consistently gone above and beyond. She’s professional, clear in her communication, and always gives me complete peace of mind when I’m away. I know my cat is safe, happy, and well cared for in her hands. I will absolutely continue to use her in the future (if she’ll have us!) and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter. ❤️”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 5 years old. That includes dogs, cats, lizards, snakes. I love them all. They love me. unfortunately, my apartment complex does not allow Pitbulls sorry I can cover most days and evening needs. I have the needed transportation to meet your needs. I am ready to help you any way I can. I can care for your pets needs in your home or my apartment. I am flexible in doing whatever is required to meet your needs
“Shelby is amazing! She far exceeded our expectations making drop in visits for our dog when we were away for 5 days. She sent us hilarious and thorough updates and kept our pug entertained as well. We are lucky to have found her!!”
“Jennifer was great! She was very attentive and caring towards our cat, Luci, during the five days we were out of town. Luci did not get herself into trouble during that time, and I am very grateful Jennifer was there to check up on her. I would definitely recommend Jennifer’s pet services!”
“Alex was great! He was on time and took care of everything with no issues! He also took tons of great pictures and checked in as well. Will definitely be using him more in the future!”
“Joanne took care of our 3 pets during drop-in visits over a 3-day period. Joanne showed great care while feeding and interacting with Fiona (our 10 year old pit bull), Davlin (our 17 year old frail cat), as well as Moshie (our shy 13 year old cat). Joanne provided detailed information regarding her care for the individual needs of each of our pets during each visit. She also provided numerous photos of each animal while visiting. Prior to her drop-ins, Joanne came over for a Meet and Greet in order to go over details while visiting, as well as getting to meet our pets. In addition, Joanne kept us up to date with each interaction while visiting and any questions or concerns that she or we may have had during the visits. Without a doubt Joanne demonstrates a tremendous amount of care and professionalism in every aspect while working with us and caring for Fiona, Davlin and Moshie. I look forward to having Joanne care for our pets in the future, as well as highly recommend anyone who has a need for someone to care for their pets.”

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 use the 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
