“April took excellent care of my 2 young, shy cats. I’m so happy to have found someone who clearly loves cats. She was incredibly professional and went above and beyond to ensure they were well taken care of. I received detailed updates after each visit and she worked with me through some challenges that came up while I was away. I felt comfortable knowing my kitties were getting care tailored to their personalities and will absolutely book April again!”

“Rachel is a wonderful dogwalker! I have a shy rescue chihuahua mix named Benny. Despite typically being slow to open up to new people, he is clearly obsessed with Rachel and has gained a lot of confidence since walking with her and the other dogs. I would recommend Rachel to anyone and hope to continue to have her work with Benny in the future. Thanks Rachel!!”

About: I've been caring for animals in different capacities for at least a year, and being a cat owner myself has shown me how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Our pets are family, and they deserve to be treated with the same love and attention we give them ourselves. I have experience walking dogs, as well as caring for cats with specific needs. Specifically, with my own cat who has kidney disease and eats prescription food. Additionally, I have experience administering medication (through food as well as by syringe). My goal is to provide every pet with compassionate, reliable care while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family members are in good hands. My schedule is currently very flexible for the summer, allowing me to accommodate a variety of booking needs. Before any service, I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet's routine and needs, and ensure we're a great fit. I want you to feel completely comfortable and confident that your pet will be in caring, reliable hands. When your pet is with me, they'll receive plenty of affection, playtime, and personalized care based on their needs and personality. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated, so you can expect regular messages, along with adorable photos and videos, to let you know how your furry friend is doing and how their walk or visit is going.
About: I have extensive hands-on experience in dog training, beginning with my first dog, a Jack Russell Terrier. Through agility and obedience training with her, I developed a strong understanding of canine behaviour, communication, and structure. I provide long, structured walks tailored to each dog’s individual energy level, temperament, and needs. At the owner’s request, I also incorporate basic obedience training, behaviour correction, and work on specific challenges such as leash pulling, reactivity, or lack of focus. I am attentive, patient, and consistent in my approach, always prioritising safety, mental stimulation, and the overall well-being of every dog in my care. I'm currently free on weekdays and sometimes on weekends too, early mornings and afternoons fits for me. I'm flexible for changes in my schedule and can adjust it to yours as well The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they are in a clean, secure, and calm environment. After walks, I always wipe or wash their paws, and I can bathe them if needed. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, treats, routines, and any special requirements. If medication is required, I administer it responsibly and exactly as directed. I pay close attention to each pet’s behaviour and comfort level to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times.
“She was communicative, transparent, and diligent for my two rabbits plus super nice to work with in general. It was my first time working with the app and very glad I chose her!”
“Sebastian was kind and caring with our boy Theo. Upon first meeting through our vaca he was good at listening to everything we needed for our boy, and gave thorough updates throughout. I’d definitely book him again. He’s great!”

“Ollie had the best time with the host and her cats. She was very cooperative and understanding of Ollie needs and was on top of Ollie’s feeding schedule. Highly recommended :) Thank you!”

“Rachelle was an amazing cat sitter! She sent us regular pictures and updates which we loved, and when we came home after being away for a few days our apartment looked exactly as we left it. She will definitely be our go-to cat sitter going forward :)”

“Mahfuza was great, compassionate, kind & loving towards my baby boy Mimic 🐈⬛️ she also followed the instructions that was given to her. Mahfuza also has a orange baby boy herself & Mimic & him got along just fine. She also sent me pictures & videos daily of Mimic which I can see he was in great hands. I will refer Mahfuza to anyone that needs a loving Cat sitter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five stars all the way Thank you again Mahfuza you are truly the best 💯🫶🙌”

“Shanna did an amazing job caring for my cats while I was away on a much-needed vacation. From our initial meeting, my cats took to her right away, which was such a relief! She was very responsive and shared thoughtful, detailed updates in each Rover card. I genuinely looked forward to reading them after every visit. It was clear she cared for Skylar & Jackson as if they were her own. I was able to feel at ease during my trip because I knew they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been a Rover for almost two years now and I’ve loved getting to care for so many sweet and playful pets. My whole life I've taken care of and loved dogs whether that be my own or friends/family. I have experience taking care of puppies, senior dogs, and unspayed/neutered dogs as I have had these myself throughout my life. In my lifetime I’ve had basset hounds, a Westie, a Boston Terrier, and a couple hamsters. I am happy to look after small, caged animals as well for a smaller fee if you message me and let me know! I can also give your dog/s any medications or special treats that they may need/like. I cannot give injectable medicine, however. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits (individual pet needs & feeding), and house sitting! All of my availability is clearly marked on my calendar and updated. I only list days that I can fully commit to the service that I am providing. I would want that for my pets and I believe you would too. I want you and your pet to feel as comfortable and safe with my services as possible. If you would like I can also schedule a meet and greet with you and your pet ahead of time, just let me know in the initial request. If you are not satisfied with the meet and greet you can cancel my services up until the day before service. I have no pets of my own currently, so pet sitting/walking brings me a lot of joy and fulfillment. I will truly treat your pet with love and care. Not only have I been a Rover for 2 years now, but I have lots of personal experience with my own previous dogs and friends/family. I understand that each pet has their own personality and needs, so my services are tailored to that. To me, the pet takes the lead and my time with them is in their space. I respect that and will be attentive to cues of timidness or playfulness, depending on your pet's level of trust. I would truly appreciate you and your pet trusting me for quality, personalized care. I will treat them equally with great care.
About: I usually work with shy, aggressive or fearful dogs or cats. It can take weeks, months or years to befriend them but when you do it's extremely rewarding, especially when an animal someone deems "dangerous" comes out to be the biggest sweetheart. I have tons of patience and I believe every species of animal deserves love and respect. As humans, it's our duty to be the voices and guardians of the animals in our care. They look to us for comfort, guidance, love and peace. That's why I do anything in my power to donate or volunteer at animal shelters because every animal should know that there's humans out there that actually care about their well being. Working with animals is a great career for me. Update; 8/2020 I’ve been volunteering and working with pets as a professional pet care provider for five years now. Through my journey I’ve learned pet CPR and gained dog training knowledge through Poochpals llc as well as worked as a dog handler at walterspetstyles. I’m currently working on becoming a certified dog trainer and furthering my knowledge on Pet care. At Poochpals we believe in being a friend for life so I’m definitely bringing our motto into the field and looking to become a furever friend for your pets. If you’re ever in need of an actual PROFESSIONAL pet care provider, look no further! I also have basic training knowledge so don’t be surprised if your pup or cat comes back knowing a few new tricks 😂 I have open availability Monday-Sunday. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! My dog, Odin, loves to make new friends of all species. Updates:4/7/2026 Hello friends! I would not be at 29 Hanford anymore due to instability, so I’m moving my business down to NYC before heading to PA. We have multiple fences in house and around the property. Pups are also supervised 24/7 and we have a designated dog room just for them. Back porch is also secured with gates. Dogs aren’t allowed on the lawn without human supervision and a 20ft leash. Lawn is fenced. We have strict safety procedures when it comes down to pets and children.
“Evangelia was fantastic! She was very communicative and took such great care of my babies! She also was able to get my very shy cats to open up and be friendly. I couldn’t recommend her more!”

“This was my first time hiring a cat sitter and my experience was absolutely wonderful. Melissa took very good care of my cats when I was away, especially my diabetic baby who I was most concerned about. She followed the instructions I gave her and kept me updated along the way. She was very attentive. I truly appreciate her. I will definitely book her again.”

“Chelsea does great with my puppy Ringo! She was able to come last minute ( my daughter called me worried about him when she left for work, she said he was barking and had some separation anxiety! ) By the time I got home, he was a happier puppy after Chelsea’s visit!”

Rosandy and Edward are absolutely fantastic people and pet caretakers. Blaze, Starlette, and myself are truly lucky to have them in our lives. As a flight attendant, I do get sad and worried when I am far away, but not so much now when I know Rosandy and Edward are there for my babies. Thank you always.

Thank you Kate for taking amazing care of Xtina. This is the fourth time we booked with Kate. Her visits are awesome for Xtina to burn some energy, to feed the cat, and to change the litter. We appreciate her help and can’t wait to book Kate’s services again in the near future. 10/10

If you live in Bushwick and are looking for a drop-in bunny sitter - Jasmine is your girl! She sent us many adorable videos of our buns and gave very detailed updates on their progress. Jasmine is an absolute sweetheart and incredibly communicative, which really helped put my perpetually worried heart at ease. Would HIGHLY recommend!!!

Adam was punctual, considerate, communicative and attentive to our two cats while we were away. He expertly gave Boo her asthma inhaler each day and sent us lots of pics. We came home to a clean house and two happy kittens. Would definitely recommend him to others looking for an overall great experience!

INCREDIBLE sitter! Our kitty was cared for above and beyond and he provided the most amazing pics with every visit! Super trustworthy, reliable, and very communicative. We didn’t have time to do a meet and greet before, but Alexander was so on it and made our trip away from our baby easier and gave us so much peace of mind. Thank you!

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.

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.
