“This was my first time using Rover and I was very happy with Ericka. Our cat was very comfortable around her. I will definitely use her again when I need a sitter. 5 stars!!”
About: I have taken care of a variety of dog breeds and pets for years. I have been entrusted by neighbors, family, and friends to care for their pets' specific needs and wants. No request is too big or small to provide for the joy returned to me whether it's my own fur babies or yours. I have time at the moment to help as many pets as possible. I can try my best to accommodate whatever time you may need. I am unable to host pets in my apartment. So while I miss my own pets back home, I can help some busy owners give some attention and enrichment to their pets.
About: Hi! I’m an avid animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds. As a proud pet parent to three dogs and two cats, I know firsthand that our pets aren’t just animals—they’re family! ❤️ My love for animals goes beyond just providing basic care. I believe every pet deserves patience, attention, affection, and a safe, loving environment where they feel comfortable and happy. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply keeping your furry friend company, I’m happy to make sure they receive the love and care they deserve. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for a variety of animals, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routines. I’m committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pets, and I would treat yours with the same love and care I give my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! 🐶🐱❤️ I work full-time from home and my job is very flexible. I’m able to accept same day requests and can check on your pet frequently if needed. I will be sure to be very respectable of your home and will make sure everything is as it was when I came in. Will clean up any mess made by pet if needed.
“Kara-Ann took wonderful care of our cat, Bernie, while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure Bernie was comfortable and well cared for. We really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Bernie warmed up to her quickly, which says a lot! We would absolutely book with Kara-Ann again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“Absolutely wonderful and caring. Took care of my cat Nubbs for 10 days. Madison was super communicative, gave great updates, and sent a bunch of pics! Would definitely recommend her to others looking for someone reliable and trustworthy😄”
“I had the absolute best experience with Lindsay K. and can't recommend her enough to anyone who needs pet sitting services! She took care of my two cats for a week while I was in the process of moving, and from the very start (booking on the app) she made everything so easy and completely stress-free. She was incredibly communicative, flexible, and accommodating with scheduling - which I really appreciated while things were a little hectic on my end. She sent me at least three updates a day, complete with photos and little notes about how they were doing, what they were up to, and how they were eating and behaving. It was so reassuring and honestly a huge relief to know they were being so well looked after. One of my cats acts like she owns the place (any place) and the other is pretty shy and takes a while to warm up to new people. Lindsay easily accommodated their individual personality preferences and silly sibling dynamic so that both cats were clearly getting lots of love and attention every day. She was so patient, kind, and gentle with my scaredy cat that he warmed up quickly and was comfortable and happy in her care. It’s not easy to find someone like Lindsay who is not only reliable and professional, but also genuinely thoughtful and caring when it comes to bonding with pets. I felt completely at ease leaving my cats in her care, and was happy to bring home two very content and well-cared-for kitties. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, look no further — she’s the best! 100/10 stars and would 100% book again the next time I need a cat sitter!”

“Samantha and her family were wonderful. They were reassuring and kept in contact with us through pictures of our Merlin. We were apprehensive about leaving him because he is an indoor-outdoor cat. They had no issues with that and kept him safe and loved. Highly recommend!”
“Lilian was great. She took very good care of our two cats and always provided nice pics and good updates. Our cats were definitely comfortable with her. I definitely would book her services in the future.”

About: I have cared for animals since I was a child and have loved every second of it. Volunteering at a nature center and caring for the animals there was my passion. I have fostered many litters of kittens before and found them amazing homes. I have also boarded several dogs in my home and dog sit regularly for 3 families at their homes. All dog breeds and cats are welcome with me! I have a 12 year old Pomeranian and 4 year old cat currently living with me. I love to play and go on nice walks and I would love to meet your furry friend too! Im available on weekends for boarding and during the week as well. I work from home but still have plenty of free time to care for your beloved companion. I can easily crate your dog if needed and have a very friendly cat to keep them company. I have a backyard and a quiet private road where we can go on as many walks as they may need.
“Lily has been watching our pups and house sitting for us for the last year and we are so lucky to have her! She takes amazing care of our three pups (a very shy and particular husky, a golden, and a super high energy Dutch shepherd). She manages each pups personality beautifully and all three love her, which is a big deal considering our girl dog is very particular with who she lets care for her! We never have to worry when we go away because we know that the dogs love Lily and she has a ton of experience to manage all of the different breeds and their needs! She also takes amazing care of our home and our fish while she’s here! We can’t recommend Lily highly enough!”
“Caroline stepped right in as a wonderful help to our Scottish terrier puppy Daisy! My mom in law had needed to cut back on the days she watches Daisy while I am teaching Art. Luckily I found Caroline quickly and her great reviews surely are correct :)! Daisy is already happily warming up to Caroline as Daisy is working on getting used to new people. Caroline already has been working in ways to get Daisy comfortable and calmer :)”
About: Hello! My name is Brittany and I have had animals my whole life, Growing up I always had dogs and cats, and still do! I'm very passionate about animals. My day job is working with special needs adults which has taught me a lot of patience and understanding for all behaviors! My job is very flexible and I will never accept a task I cannot fully commit to. If I accept your booking I will be there for your animals 100% of the time. I own one dog and 3 cats at my house. My backyard is spacious and completely fenced in, all animals will be supervised at all times, especially when in the backyard because I do have a pool. All of my animals are very well trained and friendly towards others and will not be scared or aggressive towards other dogs and cats. Rooms separate from any animals are available for small animals such as fish, hamsters, bunnies and more, that will never come in contact with any of my cats so they are not stressed out!
“This was my first time using Isabella (Bella) and I was more than satisfied. I have four cats on four different types of food and two are on medications more than once a day. Bella followed the instructions for my complicated household perfectly and was in communication about updates the entire time. Additionally, one of my cats on medication gave Bella a very hard time. She was still able to medicate him which was no easy feat. I dont think anyone but a true, licensed professional like Bella would have been able to. I have the utmost trust and the highest rating for Bella, who succeeded my expectations. Bella is a reliable, compassionate sitter and I'd use her again in a heartbeat.”
About: Hi my name is Saige, and I’m a college student and have been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a senior dog with diabetes who I help care for, including giving his insulin, keeping up with his feeding schedule, and making sure he gets the extra attention he needs as he gets older. I also have two cats and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, turtles, and other pets. I’m also an equestrian and have been riding and caring for horses for years, so I’m very comfortable handling animals and understanding their individual needs. Whether your pet is young and energetic, older and needs a little extra care, or just wants lots of attention and cuddles, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! As a college student, my schedule gives me a good amount of flexibility throughout the week and on weekends. I’m used to balancing school with caring for my own pets, so pet care is already a normal part of my everyday routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care throughout the week, and I’m happy to work with each owner to find times that fit their pet’s normal schedule and routine. I know every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I always try to keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow the routine and instructions you leave for me, whether that includes feeding, walks, medications, playtime, litter boxes, or just spending some time with them and keeping them company. I’m comfortable with pets that need lots of attention and activity as well as those that would rather relax or have their own space. I’ll also send pictures and updates so you can check in and know your pet is doing well!
About: I grew up with dogs and have been taking care of them ever since I can remember. I have a wide range of experience ranging from training young puppies to taking care of elderly and sick dogs. I love all animals and would love to hang out with your pup! I am available most weeks for the whole day if needed. I can stay with or occasionally drop by to feed, walk, and hang out with your pet! I ensure that both the pets and the homes are left better than they were when I came. My pets have always been treated with love and kindness, as all pets should be.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - East Islip
We were so concerned for our 2 cats since we were going to be away for 3 weeks. One of them needs meds twice a day. Sandy came over twice a day for 21 days. She scooped litter boxes, washed pet dishes, and gave them food and water. Due to concerns for data charges while we were overseas, she sent detailed text updates on each visit and kept photos to a minimum. We appreciated that. :) She was very caring and gave affection when they wanted it and didn't push when they didn't. Cats appreciated that. :) I definitely would recommend Sandy.
This is my third time using Autumn for my spicy cat Loki and I would recommend her to anyone. She has gone above and beyond to accommodate when my plans change and Loki seems to like her more than me! Her updates are always detailed and requests are always completed.
Once again, Steff provided great care to our two mischiefs while we were on vacation. Communication was great and the cats love their play time. One accident with the cat not finding the litter robot was dealt with right away and we came back to a spotless house and content cats. Highly recommended!

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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
