“Samantha and Jerry were fantastic. Zara, our cat, was happy and well cared for when we came home. We got great pictures of her being brushed, eating, and drinking throughout their visits. Would 100% recommend.”
About: We have had many dogs throughout our life. Right now we currently have 2 small Havanese dogs - Daisy and Luna. We have two children, 15 and 13, and both dogs get along with all children and other dogs as well. We will take care of your dogs as though they are one of our own! We do take on more than one dog at a time. We have a fully fenced in yard where they love to run around and play. We live in a great neighborhood where we can go on long walks. We have two size crates should your dog require one. We look forward to spending time with your pet/s! I currently work full time as a teacher but am home by 2:30 and am able to come home during lunch breaks to let dogs out and walk them. And my husband works from home - so they always have company! My two dogs love other dogs so they will always have someone to play with.

I have a small crate and a medium size crate if your dog needs to be crated.
“One of our cats takes medication. Brianna was so efficient with her. On time, great updates, and just really pleasant to work with. Highly recommend, and will book again.”
“Karlos has been a lifesaver! He’s consistent, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I appreciate how he took the time to really get to know Piper and her daily routine during the meet and greet. He asked thoughtful, relevant questions and made me feel really comfortable trusting him with her :) Karlos is also very considerate. He shares lots of photos of Piper which I truly appreciate! I’ve seen him walking my neighbors’ dogs as well and he seems to have a genuine connection with all the animals he works with. Would definitely recommend! Thank you for taking such good care of Piper!”
“Juan is a excellent cat sitter. He was very friendly with my babies and took time to send pictures of my babies each day when i was out of country. Will definitely rebook him.”
“I really appreciate how Stephanie took her time during the meet and greet to make sure that Piper and I felt comfortable. She is warm, friendly, extremely reliable, and very observant/attentive to what Piper needs. Stephanie also provides detailed updates (and takes great pictures)! She’s been an incredibly welcome and helpful addition to our daily routine. Thank you so much for brightening Piper’s day and taking such great care of her!”
“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 have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs (Bibbles and Kona) and have recently welcomed dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities into my home through Rover. I have experience caring for energetic puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, and dogs with special needs, including blind dogs. I understand that every dog is different and take the time to learn their routines, comfort levels, and personalities to help them feel safe and relaxed. Safety is always my top priority. I carefully supervise introductions, monitor behavior, and provide a structured environment with plenty of potty breaks, playtime, rest, and attention. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, explore the yard, or simply relax, I will make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of love while you're away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pup is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I spend most of my time at home, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I keep a flexible schedule so I can accommodate each pet's individual needs and routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog's routine, personality, and any special needs before their stay. Dogs are always supervised, introduced carefully, and provided with a clean, comfortable environment. I have a secure fenced yard for outdoor time, and I can separate dogs when needed to ensure everyone remains safe and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident while they're away.
About: I currently have a 6 year old dog and have been training and caring for him since he was 10 weeks old. He is a boxer/Shepard mix that we rescued from a shelter in Georgia. I also was a dog sitter/walker for my neighbor’s dog and have cared for my cousin’s dogs as well! Love all sizes, breeds, and ages! I work part-time 3-4x/ week babysitting, coaching, and as a medical assistant in an office. My schedule is pretty flexible especially in the mornings and late evenings. I have a six year old mutt Jameson. He is super active and I take him on walks 3x/ day and play with him in our yard. I am happy to exercise, play, feed, and care for dogs in whatever way is needed. I would be happy to care take of dogs in your house but will not be able to board them in my house because of Jameson.
“Cynthia was amazing with my cats! She watched them once a few months back, and when she came to watch them for us while we were getting married, my cats immediately recognized her and ran right up to her. You can tell she really takes care of the pets she cares for and they feel safe and happy around her!”
About: I’ve been a multi pet sitter since I was 16 watching pets inside family and friends homes. I’ve watched low maintenance dogs and dogs that need medication administered at certain times. I’m comfortable walking with the dog or letting them outside to play I am currently a part-time student so I’m available any day of the week so long as it fits outside of school hours. Please feel free to ask me more about that :) I have a fenced in yard with a mix of concrete and grass. I have a separate apartment in my house so your fur baby has some seclusion from my other pets. Any other concerns please feel free to ask
“Drew was just what we needed for our senior Pomeranian. She was very communicative, reliable, sweet, and just overall understanding of our situation. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Vee and Steven have done drop-ins for our rescue Frenchie, Tank, since we both went back to work, and we don't know what we'd do without them. Tank came from a puppy mill with medical needs and separation anxiety, so we were nervous about leaving him. They've been incredible with him. Every visit comes with detailed notes and photos, so we always know how he's doing. They spotted a sore on his paw before we did and flagged it right away. They towel him off and clean his paws without being asked, and they're endlessly patient on rainy days, which he hates. They've also given us genuinely helpful suggestions as we've worked out his setup. You can tell they really care about him. Highly recommend.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for 15 years. From puppies to seniors, Dachshunds to Pitties. I’ve owned my pit for 15 years and I adore him with my life. I have dog sat for a whole week even commuting to and from work to make sure their pup was safe and healthy. I have dealt with all the beautiful and not beautiful moments with my furry friends and I will always make sure to take care of them and make them feel at home with me. If possible please give me a week advance to make sure I can give your pup my undivided attention and give me enough time to plan effectively I make sure to continue the schedules my clients supply to me. I had a dog with a very specific diet, so I will be sure your dog gets all their meds and proper food so they stay in great health! I also am active so long walk and play time are no stranger to me! If your dog is more mellow I will match their energy and pace so they can feel comfortable and secure. I am Dog CPR certified and Dog behavior certified, so I am able to work around all personalities! My dog of 16 years was also reactive towards many obstacles, so please don’t hesitate if you have a reactive dog as we can work through it together!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elmont
First and foremost, thank you both so much for your incredible service! Nasimul and Dominique were professional, caring, and highly responsive from start to finish. They followed all of my instructions perfectly, which gave me complete peace of mind and made me feel so secure while I was away. They are incredibly trustworthy! My cat is usually very shy and keeps to himself, but he wasn't shy with them at all. They made him feel so safe and comfortable that he was able to just be his usual happy self during their visits. THANK YOU! I will absolutely be a returning client.
Elizabeth has done a number of drop-in visits for my 2 dogs and she does a great job in checking in on them, giving them some play time and of course assuring they are getting some time to be outside. She communicates very well and from the pictures I know my dogs are having a lot of fun during the pop-in visits. I highly recommend her for taking care of your pets!
Cynthia was AMAZING!! She took such great care of my cat while I was away. She was responsive, checked in, super easy to communicate with, very kind and nurturing, and made the whole process a dream. I will definitely be booking again. I felt that my cat was in safe and loving hands while I was away for a week. 100000/10!!!!
Gerry and Samantha were the best pet sitters I could’ve imagined! They were attentive and communicative throughout the whole trip and they bonded really well with my cats. The best part of my day while traveling was when I would receive Jerry’s photos from their check ins. I definitely recommend :)
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!
Nicole was an absolute angel with Lale during a very stressful time for me. From day one, I could see how kind, caring, and genuinely loving she is with animals. Honestly, the best review comes from Lale herself — she would practically hop with excitement whenever she saw Nicole! Watching her little tail wag and seeing how happy she was made my heart so happy. Lale felt completely safe, loved, and spoiled in the best possible way. Knowing Nicole was with her gave me such comfort and peace of mind. She cared for Lale with so much affection and attention, as if she were her own. I’m beyond grateful for everything Nicole did for my sweet girl. Anyone would be lucky to have Nicole care for their pet — and their pet will probably fall in love with her just as much as Lale did! ❣️🐾💕

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.

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.

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 .
