About: I’m patient and gentle with dogs who need extra time to feel comfortable around new people. I also enjoy working with puppies and providing calm, consistent care tailored to each dog’s personality and needs. My goal is to help every pet feel safe, loved, and happy while in my care. I currently work Monday-Thursday 9:30am-4pm. I can do walks/drop in visits before and after work. Friday-Sunday I have all fall day to help care for your pet! I care for every pet as if they were my own, providing safe, attentive, and loving care during each walk or sitting visit. I follow your pet’s routine and care instructions, use safe leash practices, provide plenty of exercise and companionship, and make sure they are comfortable before I leave. I’ll also send photos and videos during each visit, along with updates, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Helena was such a pleasure to work with! She gave super timely updates and provided so many great pictures of our cats and she got my cat Prince to take all his medications!! She truly does love animals and I could see them bonding with her. I’m definitely going to be hiring her again for our next out of town trip!”
“Kenny helped us with a last minute booking for our 3 beloved dogs. We needed to be away from home for an entire day. He accommodated meeting us last minute the day before our trip, he was very professional and we could tell right away his love and commitment to his work. He made us feel at ease with messages and photos. He came back and forth 4x throughout the day and gave them plenty of outside time and bonding with them, he was able to get our finicky dogs to eat. We are going to call on Kenny again because he made sure they were comfortable while we were away from home.”
“Lisa went above and beyond. With a very shy cat I sometimes have difficulty leaving her with others. Lisa made me feel comfortable the first moment we spoke. I would use her again in a heartbeat.”
“We have been using Juliana for drop in visits for Max, our husky, for a while and we could not be happier. We always feel Max is safe and well taken care of. Juliana always provides pics of her walks with Max and well detailed notes of her drop in visit.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 13 years, providing reliable and trustworthy sitting for family and friends. I offer daily walks, feeding, playtime, medication administration if needed, and regular updates with photos so you always feel connected. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or an extended vacation, I make sure every pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pet My schedule is flexible since I work part-time, which allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks, feeding, and check-ins. I make sure each dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care, and I can easily adjust my routine to meet your pet’s specific needs. When caring for pets at your home I make sure to adhere to all of the rules and guidelines that you have in place to help keep your pet comfortable sticking to their routine as much as possible, to maintain consistency while their owners are away.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, frogs, birds, lizards, a ferret, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. My last pet was a cat, and even though I don’t currently have pets, I truly enjoy being around them. I’ve owned dogs all of my life and have had several breeds over the years including pitbulls, a Boston Terrier, a French Bulldog, and a Boxer, so I am very comfortable with different sizes and personalities. I have walked and cared for both of my aunts dogs. My one aunt has a French Bulldog and the other has a mastiff, and I always made sure they were fed, let out, and comfortable. I also cared for a pitbull while babysitting, handling his feeding, bathroom breaks, and daily routine. Dogs are my specialty because I have the most hands on experience with them, but I enjoy caring for all pets. I am responsible, patient, and confident with many different breeds and temperaments, and I always make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well taken care of. I also plan on getting a red eared slider turtle soon because I love learning about and caring for different types of animals. I am currently on summer vacation, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets throughout the week. When the fall semester starts, my classes will only be on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which keeps my schedule very open. I am available from 6 am to 3 pm to take care of your pets, and I make sure to plan my day around giving them the attention and care they need. When I am caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routines and instructions closely to make sure their pets feel safe and comfortable. I pay attention to details like feeding times, bathroom breaks, and keeping their space clean. I take my time with each pet so they never feel rushed or stressed, and I always make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure. My goal is to create a calm and trustworthy environment so your pets feel relaxed and well cared for while you are away.
“Caroline was great ! She followed Milo’s routine perfectly! He was very happy playing with her :) she sent updates photos and videos during the visit. She is kind and great with dogs :) would definitely recommend Caroline 100% . Thank you , Milo looks forward to spending time with you soon :)”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for what feels like a lifetime, and I absolutely love spending time with them. Friends and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and bathe their pets. Whether it’s a snuggly senior or a playful puppy, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to tend to all needs and make your furry loved ones a priority :) Safety and trust means everything to me, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. You can feel confident knowing your furry friend will be cared for with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs.
About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Jane. I’ve been caring for dogs in their own homes for 10 years and I can honestly say, I love what I do. There’s something really special about a dog who barely notices their owner left because they’re too busy having a good time. I enjoy leaving clients to wonder if I even stayed — everything is just as they left it, with one exception: a happier pet. I specialize in walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting, all in the comfort of your pet’s own home. I learn their routine, respect their quirks, and treat your space the way I’d want someone to treat mine. You’ll hear from me regularly with updates, photos, and videos of your dear girl or sweet boi. If you like the mundane, you’ll hear from us — me and your dog (or cat, or gerbil, or boa python — we’re all inclusive here). If you’d love to see the reasons strangers fall for your sweet girlie or darling boi, you’ll definitely hear from me while your loved one is in my care. Once you reach out, I’ll schedule a complimentary meet and greet to make sure me and your special four-legged loved one are a good match. Spoiler: we usually are. 🐾 🐾 Providing care for your loved one is built into my week, not mushed into it. Available weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. 🐾 🐾 This is where the complimentary meet and greet pays off for you. Because we’ve spoken ahead of time, it’s even easier for me to keep your pet on their usual routine, respect your home, and stay in consistent communication so you always know your dog is doing well. There are legends abound of me leaving my client’s place a little cleaner than I found it too. 🐾
“We knew our 2 cats were in great hands after we met Patricia for our meet & greet. She's friendly, responsible and she sent us pictures and updates while my husband and I were away for a weekend. Would love to use her again. We highly recommend!”
“Our dogs can be a little difficult. Two of them are seniors and one is a rescue puppy who is very insecure. Don did an exceptional job of taking care of them and we’re grateful to him for his conscientious care of our babies.”
About: I have taken care of pets others and my own for 22 years plus. I am a trained behaviorist, and I have worked with children and pets to create behaviors that feel good for both of us. I am an entrepreneur and marriage and family therapist. have scheduled clients, that I see from home. I also work with children with special needs, I have space in my schedule for boarding and animal care. I love alone. I have a fenced in yard, I have a car, and live near the boardwalk for longer walks. I am happy to visit in your house and keep your pet company, as well as board small dogs. And well behaved bigger dogs.
About: There have always been animals in my house, and I truly like them more than people! I have watched/walked many animals over the years. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, so I have lots of experience As a teacher, I have an incredibly flexible schedule during the summer months and am completely free throughout the day for drop ins and walks! I also dedicate regular time to volunteering at the animal shelter, meaning animal care is already a seamless, rewarding part of my daily and weekly routine. Every home visit centers entirely on keeping your pet safe, happy, and comfortable in their own familiar environment. For cats, a standard visit includes scooping the litter box, refreshing their water bowl, and feeding fresh food exactly according to your instructions. Beyond the basics, I dedicate the rest of the visit to active engagement. If your cat is playful, I will break out the laser pointers and wand toys. If they are shy or anxious, I utilize my shelter socialization skills… giving them plenty of quiet space, reading their body language, and simply sitting nearby so they feel secure. I also respect your home by keeping pet areas clean and double-checking that all doors and locks are completely secure before I leave. You will always receive detailed updates and plenty of phot

Caroline was great ! She followed Milo’s routine perfectly! He was very happy playing with her :) she sent updates photos and videos during the visit. She is kind and great with dogs :) would definitely recommend Caroline 100% . Thank you , Milo looks forward to spending time with you soon :)
Alex was wonderful. I can’t recommend him enough! He took amazing care of my dog while we were away and treated her like she was his own. She can be stubborn on walks, but he was incredibly patient and somehow got her walking calmly and politely on a leash. It was obvious he genuinely cared about her and took the time to work with her instead of just watching her. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I’ll definitely be using him again and would recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and great with dogs.
Juliana was amazing with our cats while we were on vacation. She is reliable and took great care of our cats. We have one older cat and she took time to try to get him to take his medication every day. She played with them and we never had to worry about them in her care. She is trustworthy and I recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.
What a wonderful experience when Lisa P came to our home to watch our three cats. Lisa was extremely professional ! I have 2 shy cats and 1 friendly cat who greeted Lisa every day! Lisa left a video and pictures every time she came to our house I you could tell how much she loves cats! I would highly recommend Lisa as someone who could take care of your cat/cats. You would be lucky to have her come to your home!
Patricia is such a wonderful sitter. She is so supportive while you're away from your cat (or other pets!) My cat was having urine issues, and she let me know right away so I could get him checked out asap. Thank you as always, Patricia!! Don't hesitate to book with her!
Grace was fantastic with sky . Came early every day,took pictures and we spoke on phone. Litter box was clean everyday and sky ate well. Grace came to meet sky 3 weeks before her work day and met me and sky ! I would use her again and highly recommende you do as well !
Stephanie took great care of my two cats, Oreo and Nala, while I was away. She followed all of my instructions and made sure their routines were kept consistent, which I really appreciated. Oreo is a social butterfly and enjoyed her company right away. What impressed me most was seeing my shy girl Nala slowly come out of her shell. By the last couple of visits she was rubbing against Stephanie and even allowing pets, which is a big deal for her. That alone speaks volumes to me. Stephanie also shared photos during the visits and kept things running smoothly while I was gone. I’m grateful that I was able to relax on my trip knowing my cats were being looked after, and came home to two happy kitties. Thank you again, Stephanie! 🐱
Caitlyn was fantastic! It was clear the cats felt comfortable and at home with her dropping in to take care of them. She came for a meet and greet ahead of time and went above and beyond with photos during each visit. With care and professionalism Caitlyn shows I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their fur-babies.

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 Rockaway 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.

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.
