“Caprice fed our cat for the weekend, and was very communicative, sent lots of photos and made us feel comfortable that Hendrix was safe and happy while we were away. We would definitely work with her again!”
“Our doggie looked sooo happy and rested when I got back & I know that’s b/c of J’s care. We have an older elderly dog with unique medical needs. This is the sitter you want their patience and care was excellent. Looking forward to rebooking them soon very soon indeed.”
“Words can’t express how wonderful Liana was while watching my cat, Finnian, while we were away! Each update (and pictures) she provided truly showed how comfortable, safe, and happy my cat was with her. Liana is so kind and easy to communicate with, paid so much attention to what my cat liked (treats, toys, pets, etc). I felt totally at ease while away knowing he was SO well taken care of. I would love to utilize Liana again the next time we go away—she is wonderful!”
“Alice took excellent care of our cat for 6 days. This was our first experience using a pet sitter through Rover and we are very happy to say all went smoothly while we were away from our sweet girl. We would definitely book with Alice again. She helped bring up our trash bins which is above and beyond the job. Thank you so much! Lucy will miss you, too!”
“Meira was a wonderful sitter! She sent tons of videos and photos during each visit and was very attentive to my cat’s needs. My cat is usually slow to warm up, but Meira was able to pet her and play with her every time. She’s very professional. I would highly recommend her.”
“Jessica was fantastic with Lucky! From the moment he saw her at the meet and greet, they immediately clicked. I hired her to come twice a day and she always went above and beyond sending photos of Lucky throughout her visits. He always looked like he was having a great time while she was over. She took him on walks, played with him, and really kept him engaged. I'm always sad when I leave Lucky for a few days, but having Jessica there to keep him company eased my nervousness completely. Would have her watch him again in a heartbeat.”
“Aidan was super communicative and kind. We didn't have time to do a meet and greet beforehand because of some last minute travel changes, but they graciously hopped in anyway and figured everything out sight unseen.”
About: From an early age, I always had an empathic heart towards animals. I grew up in the Caribbean where a copious amount of stray animals roam & inhabit our island. Our problem as a community started with not prioritizing safeguard measures to control the population of our animals. And as a result, the animals suffer. Education and resources are big players to combat that, and as a young child growing up in that environment, the need to help and care for animals got instilled pretty quickly. So I grew up very sensitive to the plight of animals who needed help. Which is why I believe dog walking/dog sitting in NYC is so vital, traditionally as apartment pets living in NYC. Space and access to it is a commodity, and with the working class leaving home every day with these pets at home I can understand how important it is to get these pets outside and to exercise them and give them attention. Also during my time fostering multiple special need animals back when I was in college, & caring for sick animals opened up my eyes to the value of quality care and time. Many a time while I was fostering, I noticed the animal shelter running out space to house and support animals who needed help and shelter. Which was actually how I came to fostering. I couldn't necessarily adopt at the time, so instead, I temporarily offered up my space and attention to special need animals who needed support. And I loved every minute of it. I loved taking pictures and would be great updating owners on the status of their pets. I'll even take short video clips/recordings keeping owners aware on whats happening with their loved ones. Living in the city teaches me on a daily basis how important communication is so that being said I'm quick to respond to texts and emails, so if there's any questions or concerns I'm very easy to reach. Again all breeds are welcomed. I have experience with taking care of neo-natal newborn kittens to my dear former pet "Morpheus" Rottweiler who was 105lbs of sweetness. A pet to me is like family, and you can 100% expect that quality level of care. I have a flexible schedule can't wait to schedule a meet and greet so I can assuage any questions or concerns you'll have for me.
“Genesis was amazing with my furry baby. She was kind and patient with my little fur baby. He took some warming up and Genesis was able to meet him where he was and provide excellent care. Genesis will be my first choice when needing care for my pup. Thanks again.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, including cats, dogs, reptiles, etc, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I have hands-on experience feeding, medicating, and handling pets with different temperaments. I also previously worked at an animal hospital, where I cared for animals daily and learned how to safely handle both friendly and more aggressive cats and dogs. I’m very comfortable around animals and always focus on making them feel safe and cared for. I currently work as a server, which keeps my schedule flexible, and I mostly work nights. I can easily adjust my availability if needed too! I can offer plenty of exercise and playtime. Follow a regular feeding and watering schedule. Clean litter boxes and or accidents in the house. Monitor for any signs of illness or injuries. Offer plenty of love and attention!
About: My name is Raquel but i'm mostly called Kelly. I'm a house wife who adores dogs, I would love to care for dogs on rover because I've been a dog lover since a little girl. When i'm with dogs I get so playful by giving them lots of love and attention from going for walks, playing catch, to playing with chew toys ! I'll care for your dog as if it were my own, I have a lot of patience . While staying with me you'll get frequent updates on your dog. If your dog is required certain care i'm very responsible in following the exact instructions you give. I'm available 24/7 even if its last minute ! Your dog is in very good hands !
“Absolutely amazing! Kenneth was on time and took care of my fur babies. My senior dog loved his drop ins for sure and the three walks a day. He made sure they had plenty of water and food. Cleaned the litter box too. Even played with Oreo the cat and his favorite string toy. Would definitely recommend to my friends and request him again if needed.”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable pet sitter based in Providence, and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up always being around dogs and cats—walking them, feeding them, and helping take care of their daily routines. Being with animals has always felt natural to me, not just something I do, but something I genuinely enjoy. Over the years, I’ve had different kinds of hands-on experiences that taught me a lot about animal care. I’ve cared for a cat that had a litter of kittens, helped raise and look after them, and learned what it takes to keep both mom and babies safe and comfortable. I’ve also been an animal foster caregiver, which gave me experience adjusting quickly to different personalities, routines, and needs. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with all kinds of pets—whether they’re shy, playful, older, or need a little extra attention. I understand how important it is to be patient, consistent, and to follow instructions closely so pets feel secure in their environment. My goal is always to show up calm, caring, and dependable, and to make sure every pet I look after feels safe and every owner feels at ease while they’re away. Caring for pets fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I enjoy building time into my schedule to walk, check on, and spend time with animals, and I’m flexible enough to adjust around each pet’s needs. I like being consistent, so pet care becomes a steady part of my week that I can commit to fully and responsibly. In a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow all instructions exactly as given so pets stay on their normal routine. I focus on keeping them comfortable with feeding, water, litter or walks, and giving them attention so they feel safe while their owner is away. I also make sure to respect the home and leave everything clean and organized. If pets are in my care at my home, I make sure they are in a calm, safe environment where they can relax, stay on their usual schedule, and feel comfortable and secure.

I’m very pleased with Samantha service. I was always informed about anything, any changes or behaviors with my dear 4 paws daughter. I definitely would hire Samantha again. She went above and beyond. Example: I told her that she didn’t necessarily need to take my Sam for walks but she asked if she could, I said that It was all up to her. my daughter loved it!!!
Jessica was fantastic with Lucky! From the moment he saw her at the meet and greet, they immediately clicked. I hired her to come twice a day and she always went above and beyond sending photos of Lucky throughout her visits. He always looked like he was having a great time while she was over. She took him on walks, played with him, and really kept him engaged. I'm always sad when I leave Lucky for a few days, but having Jessica there to keep him company eased my nervousness completely. Would have her watch him again in a heartbeat.
Katrina was fantastic! She was patient, kind and loving with our dog, Ocean. She dealt with a couple of blips, an electrical outage and an itinerary change with grace and equanimity. We will hire her anytime we go away and have already referred friends and family to her. I can’t imagine a better pet sitter.
Our doggie looked sooo happy and rested when I got back & I know that’s b/c of J’s care. We have an older elderly dog with unique medical needs. This is the sitter you want their patience and care was excellent. Looking forward to rebooking them soon very soon indeed.
Genesis was amazing with my furry baby. She was kind and patient with my little fur baby. He took some warming up and Genesis was able to meet him where he was and provide excellent care. Genesis will be my first choice when needing care for my pup. Thanks again.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
