“Sally has been amazing with Nenya! Nenya is struggling with strangers coming into the house and Sally helps immensely to help improve this by doing drop in visits. She is always very sweet with my anxious pup and makes her feel so much more comfortable.”

About: I’m currently a mom to a 6 year old chiweenie who I’ve raised since he was 3 months old :) additionally, I’ve fostered dogs of all kinds and have become great at adapting to each dog’s individual needs. From puppies to seniors to special needs dogs, I’ve cared for them all. I am very flexible Friday through Monday. I work from home Mondays and Fridays, and I am home on most weekends and would be happy to care for your pup. My apartment is very safe and generally “proofed” for dogs. I have a crate for my own dog and am happy to crate your dog if needed.

About: I live with my girlfriend who boards animals and I love how natural she is at this! It’s lead me to want to start caring for animals too! I'm a genuine animal lover with a real passion for dogs and cats. I understand what it means to care for my furry friends like family, and I treat every animal that I care for with grace and kindness. Your furry baby will get daily walks, plenty of attention, and a safe, comfortable space to be themselves. Honestly, watching a dog's face light up when their owner returns? That's what it's all about for me. I am a freelance writer and have plenty of free time on my hand to care for up animals. Meaning I’m available Monday to Sunday! I have a home where my partner watches pets most of the time. We have a backyard and a cozy living space but I would most likely want to stay at your home where your animal can feel comfortable and safe.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I actually begged my parents to let me get a dog, promising them that I would be responsible and take great care of him—and I’ve kept that promise ever since! Taking care of my own dog has taught me how much patience, attention, and love pets need every day. I’ve taught my dog eight different tricks, and I love spending time training, playing, and going on walks with him. Whenever I’m at my grandma’s, I always make sure to walk and spend time with her dog too. More recently, I’ve started dog-sitting for friends, which has given me even more experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a freelance dancer, so I have a flexible schedule and make my own hours. This allows me to make time in my day to give pets the attention and care they need. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping your pet company, and I’m happy to work around their normal routine. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I’m flexible and willing to adjust my schedule to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they are always in a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special routines or rules. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep pets away from anything unsafe, and always pay attention to their behavior and needs. I want every pet to feel comfortable, loved, and at home while their owner is away. I’ll also keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Hello there, pet parents of New York City! 🐾 I'm thrilled to introduce myself as your go-to pet caregiver extraordinaire! With over two decades of experience under my belt, I've had the joy of caring for furry companions of all shapes and sizes. From the tiniest hamster to the gentlest Great Dane, I've formed unbreakable bonds with them all. What sets me apart? Well, aside from my undying love for all things fluffy, I specialize in Senior Pet Care. Over the years, I've had the privilege of tending to the needs of beloved elderly cats and dogs, ensuring they receive the extra attention and care they deserve in their golden years. Whether it's administering medication, providing gentle exercise, or simply offering a comforting cuddle, I'm here to make sure your senior fur babies feel cherished and content. I’m currently working from home as an HR professional with a flexible schedule. With access to several public transportation options, as well as personal transportation, I make time to care for your pet when you can’t be there. I’m available most holidays too! Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities, whether we're out exploring the city streets or cozying up at home. With years of experience in pet care, I've honed my skills in ensuring a secure and comfortable environment for furry companions of all kinds. On Walks: When we're out on walks, rest assured that your furry friend will be securely harnessed and under my watchful eye at all times. I'm well-versed in handling dogs of various sizes and temperaments, and I understand the importance of maintaining control and attentiveness, especially in bustling city environments. In Your Home: Whether I'm dropping by for a quick visit or staying overnight, I take great care to maintain a clean and organized environment for your pet. From fresh water and meals to regular potty breaks and playtime, I'll ensure that your pet's routine is uninterrupted and that their surroundings are kept tidy and hygienic. I'm also experienced in crating dogs, if needed, providing them with a cozy and secure space to rest and relax while you're away. Health & Hygiene: Hygiene is paramount when it comes to caring for pets, and I take this responsibility seriously. I'll diligently clean up any messes, regularly sanitize food and water bowls, and ensure that your pet's living area is kept pristine. Additionally, I'm well-versed in administering medications and following any special dietary or health-related instructions to ensure your pet stays happy and healthy under my care.

About: I’ve taken care of my sweet senior dog for all of his nearly 18 years. I fully understand that seniors need a little extra love and attention 🩵 I’ve also been the default dog and cat sitter for friends when they have needed it. I have experience giving medicine and eye drops for dogs. I’m also happy to learn any other medical care needs if needed! My little guy passed recently, so I’m just here to give your fur babies some love while you are away 🩵 I work from home, so I’m pretty flexible and can take breaks midday to walk and play. I’m available for boarding most work days and weekends. I live on a quiet street that is great for walks, and there is also an open yard for quick potty breaks. I have no other pets in the home and only take one client at a time, so your pets will have my full attention!

About: I’ve been taking care of cats when I was teenagers. My first cat was 17 years old. I just got my new cat, I bought everything for my cat. I am good with keeping everything as clean as possible, vacuum everyday. I also have experience taking care of small dogs. I took care of my step daughter's two Yorkshire Terrier dogs when she was travelling, One of them is more than 10 years old. I fed the dogs and clean the dog's face, comb their hair, play with them. It was fun time. They like me more than my husband, haha. I’m free after work, I work at Wall street Manhattan, living near Fort Lee NJ. I will be available after work Monday to Friday, weekends will be more flexible. I bought everything automatic for my cat. The automatic litter box, I clean it every day. Water fountain has filter, I wash and change the water every 3 to 4 days with boiled water (cooling down) due to my cat only has one kidney. Cat food, I feed him with wet can food twice a day and with dry food automatic feeding. I mix different cat food due to his sensitive stomach.

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely love dogs and have had them as part of my family ever since I was a kid. Caring for dogs has always come naturally to me, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand that each dog has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also provide enjoyable, engaging walks tailored to each dog’s energy level and needs, making sure they get the exercise, attention, and fun they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, reliable hands. I have a pretty flexible day job, which allows me to easily fit walks, drop-in visits, and pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Because of that flexibility, I’m also available for pet sitting when needed and can provide reliable care and attention throughout the day. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I am very thorough and make sure each pet has everything they need, including food, water, exercise, comfort, and companionship. I pay close attention to their routines and individual needs, and I always aim to keep them happy, safe, and well cared for. I would apply the same level of care, responsibility, and attentiveness to my client’s pets as I do with my own.

About: For the last two years I worked as a professional pet sitter in New Orleans, but it doesn’t stop there! I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life! Growing up my family had many dogs around, right now we have two in house and a total of 6 outside of the house belonging to my brothers and sisters! I’ve also taken care of plenty of cats in my life! I’m a big animal lover, I’ve been pet sitting for my moms friends since I was 15 years old, I walk, bathe, feed and play with every pet I watch! I make sure that the animals feel safe with me, that’s what I care about the most! I’m a big lover to all animals and I want them to know that they are loved! I’m a full time actress but I provided care 24/7! Most of my days are at home or auditioning or filming auditions so if you text me asking me to come stop by, I’m more than happy to drop everything to take care of your furry ones! If I’m at your house, I respect your home like I’d want someone to respect mine. I’ll stay only where you ask me to stay and do only what I’m allowed to do! But I won’t make it uncomfortable for the pets, I know they can sense this stuff! If you leave a list of how you take care of your pet for me to follow, I’ll make sure to follow it step by step!

“Brandon and his husband were absolutely amazing! I had to leave unexpectedly out of state and they were so sweet and to take care of my pup/cat on short notice. On top of that Brandon would always send me updates and even took care of them when I was delayed in making it home. Simply the best! 10/10 highly recommend!”

About: I have fostered a 4 month old poodle for 2 months. I’d say I personally have more experience babysitting than pet sitting but that being said, I have a huge heart for nurturing and caring I am currently working a part time job but my schedule is pretty flexible so I have a lot of time on my hands! My daily/weekly routine just consists of working and hanging out with friends! Unfortunately I can not host pet sitting at my home for my land owner doesn’t allow pets inside, but if I were to work at your home, I would act accordingly with respect!

About: I've had a dog almost my entire life, so I've always been taking care of my own and neighbors/friends dogs. I've also been fostering for a few years now. After rescuing my most recent dog I did a little deep dive into dog psychology and training and can help you continue the training you do in your home in my home as well. Being a dog owner myself, I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, but please rest assured, I will do everything I can to help your dog feel at home and you feel at peace! I work from home full time, so my own dog and I go out for walks three times a day, and frequent the park for a longer walk/general exposure/scents. So I can be pretty flexible with your dog's schedule. I have a fenced in back yard. I can accommodate to what your dogs needs are, if that's crating, leash training, etc. I'll do my best to make ensure that your dog is comfortable.

Zoe went above and beyond caring for both our 90-pound adult dog and our high-energy puppy! I’ve always been the type of person who is extremely nervous about leaving my dogs in someone else’s care, to the point that I’ve never hired a dog walker or pet sitter before. However, after getting our puppy and having a prior commitment that meant we’d be away from home for an extended period, we decided to take the leap and reach out to Zoe. We couldn’t be happier that we did! Zoe didn’t just meet our expectations; she completely exceeded them. She even arrived a little early to make sure she had all the information she needed for a successful visit. Throughout the entire time, she kept us updated and maintained great communication, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we returned home, both dogs were happy, well cared for, and properly exercised. As someone who is very particular about who I trust with my dogs, I cannot recommend Zoe enough! I would absolutely rebook with her in a heartbeat, and we’ve already started discussing our future dog-walking needs with her. Thank you so much, Zoe! We’re so grateful to have found you! ❤️

Neil did a wonderful job with my two Yorkies , Jasper and Jasmine. Prior to officially caring for my dogs he asked me very important questions regarding their habits and their personalities. He also met with me twice to meet them in person and took them on a “trial” walk to further get to know them. He followed all of my instructions and asked for clarity where warranted; which I more than appreciated. His status updates pre and post each visit were thorough. I also loved the pictures of them on their walks and when he would play catch with them. My dogs bonded with Neil as he treated my two babies like they were his. I will definitely be using Neil’s dog walking services again and have already recommended him to my bestie.

Melissa was amazing and we will definitely book her again. She was so sweet with our new pup Stella and really helped us out in a pinch when our previous dog walker couldn’t make it. She sent great photos and detailed recaps of their walks and play time every day. Communication was quick and easy. She even sent pics and interacted with our cat whom she was not looking in on.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Edgewater choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
