“Avary is absolutely amazing! Such a sweet person that loves animals and with patience and a few Churus was able to win my cat Hanna over! Avary sent us multiple pictures and checked every detail with us to make sure we knew our kitty was taken care of. Thank you Avary! 100% would recommend 🥰🫶🏼”
“Carol was great! She came within the timeframe and took great care of Winnie. She even stopped by for a quick meet up before. I would definitely recommend Carol for your pet sitting needs!”
“Lori was extremely attentive and kind to my cat, Beatrice. She is an older cat who needs a lot of care (special food, 2 different types of eye drops, liquid medication) and Lori took care of everything with no issues. She also kept me updated on each visit and sent lots of photos, which is always appreciated. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Ashanti is the best! She’s been very sweet to my baby yumi. She’s very thoughtful, a good communicator and trust worthy :) highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Laura was a pleasure to work with! She did a thorough job with cat check-ins while I was away on a weeklong trip including providing detailed descriptions of her visits and photos. Would definitely trust her with my fur baby again!”
“Just days after moving into a new home I had to travel for several days to attend a funeral. While I was away Alexandra dropped in twice a day to take care of my two disoriented and stressed cats. They both warmed to her very quickly - including my male cat who is stranger shy in the best of situations. Alexandra’s presence, and my cats’ quick acceptance of her, gave me the freedom to not worry about them during what was already a very stressful time for all of us. I would highly recommend Alexandra for your pet care needs.”
“Afiya did a drop-in visit for my cat Lumi, and I could not have asked for better. She kept me fully in the loop the whole time and shared pictures, which I loved. It instantly put me at ease knowing Lumi was in good hands. Would definitely book 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!”
“10 STARS! Liudmyla clearly loves pets, my cat came to her right away while she usually hides from strangers for the first few visits. Liudmyla helped me retrieve an important package from the lobby and was very kind about any request. She sent sweet pictures of our cat from every visit. We had to extend our trip and she had no problem with extending the booking for 3 extra visits. I will definitely hire her again. She went above and beyond for us, 100% recommend her.”
“Everything went great with the drop-in! Tiffany was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my dog by giving him a bathroom break, spending time with him, and making sure he was fed. I appreciated knowing he was in good hands and would definitely book with Tiffany again!”
“Hanna was a fantastic sitter for Slinky. Very responsive in texts and came through for me in a last-minute situation. Lots of details about the stay and pictures. Highly recommend and I hope I can use her again in the future!”
About: I grew up around dogs. Since I was born, my family has had Golden Retrievers who were my brothers. I have been working with and around dogs of any size all my life and have a huge love for them. I have cared for sick dogs, healthy dogs, energetic dogs, high maintenance pups. I love all breeds and personalities! I am a Brooklynite but I have no issue coming into Manhattan or Queens to spend some some time with your pup! I am a performing artist so my schedule is generally wide open. I can schedule whenever or wherever I am needed! Early mornings are not a problem for me nor are evenings. Long walks are not a problem for me, I live near Prospect Park and love walking in the parks in New York. I have no problem house sitting.
“Harriet was amazing! She was communicative, responsive, and alleviated all my concerns at leaving my skittish kitty for the first time. Highly recommend and I won’t hesitate to use her again in the future.”
“Yinan took care of our 2 cats while we were away for a few days and was amazing! Our cats have a somewhat complicated feeding routine and they handled it with no problem. Was very communicative with updates and photos which we appreciated. Will definitely book again!”
“Dale was a fantastic sitter for our kitty! He was super resourceful when there was an issue with our door on the first day. Dale is a great communicator and often shared notes and pictures that made me smile and laugh. I had no doubt Lucy was well taken care of and entertained! We plan to use him again in the future when we need a sitter.”
“James was very communicative and did an excellent job taking care of my two very shy cats while I was away for Christmas. I appreciated the daily updates and that he stopped by to get the tour of my apartment beforehand!”
“Hannah was wonderful with Sylvester! We really enjoyed all the updates from her, and really appreciated her good communication 💖 So lucky to have her taking care of our baby!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brooklyn
Sophia was great with my two cats Emmy and Ellie! She sent detailed summaries after each visit. Emmy has background medical issues which unexpectedly flared up during this trip and Sophia was extremely attentive and helpful in keeping me updated and providing information for an eventual vet visit. Would absolutely book again
Jihyun was phenomenal. I could tell from the (many, hilarious) photos she sent that my cats were having a blast with her, and it seemed like she was having a great time with them as well. Highly recommend her services, with one caveat: please do not book her when I’m traveling, because I want her to be available for my cats
I had a wonderful experience with Pei Hsuan while I was traveling! She was reliable, attentive, and took great care of my cat. She followed all of my feeding and care instructions carefully, kept everything clean, and made sure my cat was comfortable and well cared for while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands.
Summer was superb, I highly recommend her! She was certain to send multiple photos and update the visit cards with lots of details. She has a lovely disposition and my cat was so happy and healthy when I return from my trip. I will definitely book her again. Thank you, Summer!
Ashley was a phenomenal pet sitter! She was communicative and patient. Our kitties really took a liking to her, even Kali who’s a little shy. Her thorough visit summaries gave us some peace of mind while away and she was quick to inform us of any issues or if she had any questions. I would highly recommend Ashley; she was friendly, efficient and very caring. Will definitely rebook with her in the future.

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.
