“Sierra did a great job taking care of my pug, Mac, who requires daily medication and can be grumpy at times. She provided updates of each visit and included photos and videos as well. Will definitely use again!”
“Kelly has been fantastic with our two dogs. Very professional and flexible to work with our changing schedules. She is always reachable when you have questions and very caring with our dogs. Both our dogs get so excited in the morning when we leave for work and tell them Kelly will be here later to take you for a walk. Would recommend her for whatever your pet needs are without any hesitation!”
“Jordan was an amazing sitter for our cat Data. She was always on time and doing everything as scheduled with love and care. Data's food bowls, litter box and the whole space around were neat and clean when we arrived. Her reports were very informative and the photos of our baby-boy were fun. Our cat warmed up to her quickly and just wanted more play and pettings while she was with him. He will miss Jordan. We highly recommend her services and will definitely book her again when we travel in the future.”
“Our cat, Chumley, took to Madison right away. She has a wonderful kind and loving energy. We felt very comfortable having Madison come into our home while we were away. Madison sent us the cutest picture of Chumley while visiting with him. We are very pleased with her service and highly recommend her! Thank you Madison!!!”
“Christina took very good care of our cat! She made our trip easy and worry-free. It was extremely easy to communicate with her, as she responded to our messages quickly. I can't wait to rebook the service with Christina!”
“Rachel took such great care of my Loki and my apartment while I was gone. She was so wonderful with him and being able to inject him with the insulin daily. So thankful for her help!”
“Erica did a wonderful job checking in on our four cats while we were on vacation. Specifically she was able to get one of the cats to take his medication daily. She responded quickly and left very detailed notes and pictures. She also helped us out on very short notice, which we greatly appreciated. She went above and beyond by grabbing our mail and watering a couple plants too. We look forward to trusting her again with our kitties in the future.”
“Christina was great and kept us informed of our home and kitties while we were away. She got better pictures of our cats than we ever have & they were happy & healthy when we returned home. We will definitely be having Christina watch our kitties again!”
About: I’m caring, patient, dependable, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I’m great at following detailed instructions from pet parents, whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, medications, favorite toys, or specific house rules. I’m most comfortable with small to medium-sized dogs. While I’m newer to caring for cats and don’t have experience with newborn puppies, I’m always willing to learn and follow your instructions closely. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. 🐾 I have consistent availability that makes it easy to plan pet care around your needs. On weekdays, I’m available from 4:15 PM until 5:30 AM the following morning. On Saturdays and Sundays, I have open availability when given at least 24–48 hours’ notice. I appreciate advance bookings so I can make sure I have plenty of dedicated time for your pet without feeling rushed. I believe in keeping pets as close to their normal routine as possible. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, bedtime, medications if applicable, and any special routines your pet is used to. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I’ll also be respectful of your home and make sure everything is secure before I leave. I’m happy to provide pictures and updates so you know your pet is safe and doing well while you’re away.
“Jonathan was awesome with my dog Thor. Absolutely loved every picture he sent on all drop in visits with him while I was away for a weekend, Thor was always super excited to see him and it was like he had been taking care of him for years based on his reaction. Highly recommend”
“Elisabeth was excellent with our senior pup Simba! He took a liking to her right away and she was able to maneuver him into his harness and take him up and down the porch steps easily. Quick, communication, reliable, and kind. Will definitely call on Elisabeth in the future!”
About: - I have a 3 yr old rescue named Maisy who deals with reactivity so we no longer offer boarding or daycare in our home. I also have a 9 year old Belgian Malinois who my boyfriend rescued from animal fighting. She is sweet as pie and a people lover. Both of my dogs have undergone training programs at the art of dog. Maisy has also done training at the happy hound. Both girls are healthy and up to date on vaccines. - I previously fostered for Buffalo Underdogs Rescue, which gives me a chance to help save many amazing dogs, learn to potty train and care for puppies and young dogs - I volunteer at white whiskers dog sanctuary where I have learned to care for elderly and special needs pups - I grew up dog-sitting for neighbors and friends and also have a family senior dog who I grew up caring for - I have volunteered as a dog walker for a local animal shelter I work remotely on Fridays and can be home all weekend. Monday through Thursday I work in the office in downtown Buffalo near canal side. I am open to services on these days after 5pm. I will follow the specific instructions left for me by the owner. I ask for a thorough and detailed list of information regarding how to make your pet happy and well taken care of so I can be sure to provide the best care I can. I will treat your pet like they are my own.
“We recently moved to the southtowns and needed to find a sitter for our 3 cats that we trust - we are SO grateful to have found Marti, she took amazing care of our fur babies. We travel a lot and will happily hire her again anytime!!!”
“Jackie was great. Came by before the first visit to meet Maple and understand the routine. She sent photos during her visit and felt very comfortable with her. Would definitely use her again!”
“Would I book Haley again? I already have! Haley is fantastic, she went above and beyond my expectations! Haley took AMAZING care of our three senior dogs, who have special needs. One of my dogs needs to have his bladder expressed due to a spinal injury, Haley went out of her way to learn how to express his bladder and ensure his comfort. Haley gave the dogs ample outdoor time, shared photos and detailed report cards throughout the day which gave us peace of mind. You can tell when your dogs had their basic needs met vs. when they also had enrichment (play time, cuddles, etc.), my dogs clearly had enrichment with Haley taking care of them. The dogs were happy and content when we returned home, they hardly missed us! Cannot recommend Haley highly enough.”

Jordan took tremendous care of my dog Stella and the house. She kept me very informed and sent very cute pictures. My dog took to Jordan right away as Jordan has a calming presence. Stella loved her walks and all the play time she got from her visits with Jordan. I would highly recommend Jordan
She took great care of my cats again, walked Chestnut every day, and spent plenty of time playing with them. I’ll definitely continue booking with her in the future and would highly recommend her to my friends nearby and anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.
Kelly was awsome! I will definitely be hiring her again to watch my dogs when needed. During the meet and greet she came with a pen and paper to write all the instructions down. She even took note on how to tell the dogs apart!. My oldest dog Zoey would not walk without a treat which she demonstrated during the meet and greet. This did not deter Kelly she was very patient with her! During the visit she kept me informed by texts and pictures. She even sent me a video! I definitely recommend her!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a East Amherst stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 89% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
