“April is amazing! We consistently book her as she takes amazing care of our fur baby (who is a love bug but needs a lot of care [meds, cone, etc.]. She keeps his area tidy and goes above and beyond. Can’t say enough good things!”
“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!!”
“Claire was so sweet and a great communicator! She really cared about the kitties (even if they took a bit to warm up to a new pal), she gave them their space and they seemed very happy with her around. She took lots of photos and was generally super easy to work with. Will definitely book again!”
“Sebastian is the best cat sitter! I suffer from severe anxiety, especially when it comes to leaving my two boy cats, Pumpkin and Wally, with a sitter. From our very first written communication, Sebastian immediately eased my worries. During our initial meet- up, he was attentive, thoughtful and asked all the right questions. Pumpkin, my ginger boy, refused to take his medication from me while I was showing Sebastian how it is done. Sebastian simply reassured me, explaining he had his own tried and true method. Sure enough, he was patient and confident- and it worked. Meanwhile, my shy grey cat, Wally, was completely won over by Sebastian’s gentle presence by the second day. He truly is a cat whisperer! Sebastian requested detailed instructions for his twice- daily visits, which he not only followed but went above and beyond: - playing and spending quality time with the boys - keeping the food and water bowls tidy - paying extra attention to the litter box - adjusting the AC for their comfort - even bringing in delivered packages He was always prompt sending beautiful photos and detailed updates 2x a day. Not once during my two- and- a half weeks away, did I feel anxious or concern about Pumpkin and Wally. When I returned home, I found a clean apartment and most importantly, two very happy and relaxed cats. On top of this, Sebastian kindly shared his method for administering Pumpkin’s medication with photos and detailed instructions. Thanks to him, I am confident, I will soon be a pro, at it myself. Sebastian is kind, gentle and incredibly thoughtful. I highly recommend him and will absolutely be booking him again, in the future. If anyone has questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.”
About: My professional experience with dogs stems from caring for pets with the roles of Pack Leader and Receptionist while I was studying in Wisconsin. All the training I've learned is with the help of Tailwaggers Doggy Daycare. Currently, I'm working PT as a sales associate for Gap Inc., Wednesdays and Saturdays from 4:30pm-9:00pm. I am taking up petcare again to save up for school and possibly secure my own apartment. I have basic training, professional, as well as, personal experience caring for animals, fostering dogs, understanding animal behavior and being sure everyone involved is engaged or observing examples of safe play.
“Meghan was amazing! I was traveling internationally for a week and nervous to leave my fur baby for so long. But to my relief I could tell my cat was SO happy the entire time while being taken care of by Meghan! She sent me tons of photos and videos and sent even more when I requested lol. She was understanding and flexible when I realized I messed up the booking due to the time difference and needed to switch some things last minute. I couldn’t have asked for a better rover sitter! I will be rebooking her everytime I travel moving forward! 100/10!!!”
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.
About: I'm a lifetime animal lover with experience caring for dogs & cats of all sizes, ages, and dispositions. My priorities are to provide your pet(s) the attention they need to stay happy & healthy, and provide you with clear and consistent communication! I have plenty of morning & daytime availability, and flexible evenings to suit your preferred schedule. I'm eager to dedicate my free time to walking/caring for your pet(s)! I hold the utmost respect for you, your pet(s), and your space, and I will accommodate any & all guidelines you set. I am able to check in as frequently as needed, including sending text updates and photos.
“Katerina did a great job & is obviously a total animal lover. My cat is more than a little wary of new people and is often pretty anxious even with people's met several times-- but Katerina won her over and I came home to a healthy happy kitty who had gotten lots of love in my absence. Would def use Katerina again.”
“Hayley was very communicative with sending pictures and updates. Pickup and drop off were very seamless. I know my kitty was loved and cared for. Will use again for future accommodations. Highly recommend!”
“Shannakee did a lovely job with my needy cats! I have 3 large cats that have to eat wet food as part of their diet. She came and cleaned up after them, gave them lots of love and attention and was very responsive.”
“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 :)”
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.
“Mellanie was able to take my last-minute emergency holiday booking and is a very kind and communicative sitter. She asks any clarifying questions and is careful to spend quality time with your pet.”
“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.”
“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!”
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.
About: 10+ years of dog handling experience from puppies and small dogs to larger dogs nothing can phase me. I am a calm and assertive person with lots of love and kisses to give to your furbabies! I have successfully potty trained several puppies as well as basic training. I have walked/cared for dogs from several companies with consistent 5 star reviews now that i have children i have slowed down. I am also cat and dog first aid/cpr certified by the redcross. I am very knowledgeable and hope to welcome you and your pup to the Ruff House . I am a stay at home mom so i am home all day everyday i find so much joy in caring for my family and dogs I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company! I also have a crate for just in case. Dogs are usually free roaming i do not crate any dogs at all unless it is requested.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - East New York
Rosandy and Edward are absolutely wonderful with Blaze and Starlette. We are blessed to have them in our life. Thank you both for being such darlings to my cats. Leaving my pets home, and being afar is a little nerve wrecking, but I know they receive love and care from Rosandy and Edward. Thank you always.
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!

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.

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.
