“Celine has been a very communicative and proactive dog sitter for my pit bull, Diamond. She sends lots of photos and makes sure to give my pup lots of love. She stayed in my home and did great, even bringing in some packages that had arrived. Will book again!”


About: I’ve been caring for animals in my neighborhood and volunteering with Sean Casey Animal Rescue since I was 16. I’m experienced in reading both cats and dogs body language and adapting my approach to each animal’s personality. I’m especially patient with anxious pets, helping them feel safe and comfortable, and I also enjoy keeping energetic pets engaged through play, exercise, and enrichment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, routine, and well-being. Caring for animals is already a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I build my schedule around providing consistent care, including walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and lots of affection. I enjoy staying active, so outdoor walks and exercise are something I genuinely look forward to. I also understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine, paying close attention to their body language, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I treat every pet with the same patience and care I would give my own. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, take dogs out for walks and potty breaks, clean litter boxes, administer basic care as instructed, and make sure each pet gets the attention, play, and affection they need. I pay close attention to their body language and behavior so I can respond to their individual needs, whether they need extra reassurance or more activity. I also treat every client’s home with respect by keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it while providing regular updates for peace of mind.

“Keoma provided excellent care for my three cats. I appreciated her consistent communication and punctuality especially since I have been burned before by other sitters. Most importantly, my cats were happy and healthy when I returned, which speaks volumes about the quality of care she provided!”

About: A Home away From Home Hello, my name Walther and I specialize in assisting pets who struggle with separation anxiety and experience minor discomfort. I place great faith in the ability of healing and consider myself to be a compassionate, adaptable, and accommodating & loving pet sitter. I have a great affection for animals, but my fondness for dogs is specifically strong. Following the loss of my beloved dogs, I made the decision to expand my love and care and offer assistance to those with hectic schedules or looking for someone to look after their pets while they are away on vacation. I thoroughly enjoy providing the utmost care and affection, treating them as if they were my own dogs. I have a highly flexible schedule, enabling me to provide care for your furry friend and create a cozy environment for them at home.This means I can take them on exciting little escapades and fill their day with various activities, such as leisurely walks in Central Park, exploring the waterfront, and spending quality time at the beach in the summer or simply enjoying a relaxing afternoon/evening watching movies and cuddling 🤩 🤩 I’m looking forward to meet you & furry friend. I’m completely sure they are going to enjoy their stay.
“Alex was amazing! He was a total professional from the start. We had no issues with Communication, he was always prompt with his responses. He went above and beyond with his care of our dog Lily! He was able to help our skittish pup get out of her shell. He sent updates daily while we were away which helped our separation anxiety. I would 100% recommend Alex!”

About: I am a rising second year veterinary student at LIU post. I love caring for and meeting new cats and dogs and have several years of experience working with animals in a variety of settings. I have worked in shelters, boarding facilities, and in veterinary clinics. I also have experience administering medications. Thank you for reading my profile and I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend(s)! I am a current graduate student on summer break so my availability for the next few months is flexible and I can work around your schedule. I am a reliable, responsible, and communicative caretaker. I know as a pet sitter you are trusting me not only with your beloved pet but are also welcoming me into your home so I want to be respectful of your space. I also know that routine is important for a pet so I will follow all instructions carefully and try to make your pet as comfortable as possible!
“Peggy was wonderful with Koda! She was dependable, communicative, and sent great updates and Rover cards during her visits. We felt completely at ease knowing Koda was in good hands. Highly recommend!”


About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable following specific routines, feeding schedules, and care instructions. I know how important it is to have peace of mind, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit or walk. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply taking their time to sniff every tree, I’ll make sure they have a great experience. As a teacher, I am currently off for the summer and have a very flexible schedule. I am available all days of the week, including weekdays and weekends, for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. During the school year, my availability is more limited, but I will always update my calendar in advance so pet parents can plan accordingly. I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following their established routines to help animals feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I make sure to provide fresh food and water, regular walks or playtime, litter box or potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection based on each pet’s personality and needs. I also keep the home tidy, respect all instructions, and send updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: From Pre-Vet major to Business Administration, I’ve always had a soft spot for animals. Ever since I was little girl, I have taken care of house and exotic pets. Family, friends and neighbors have relied on me to feed, walk, bathe their pets and even house-sit their homes. I love spending time with your pets. When I lived in Maryland I worked at three large veterinarian clinics. My family has two Siberian huskies and I am very aware of how to deal with a “escape artist” or a temperamental cat. It is important to me to keep all my owners in the loop with real time photos and videos of your pet. My schedule is super flexible, I work remotely and have the flexibility to take breaks in my day to run tasks, go on walks, or take your pup to a park. Safety is a priority and they will always be supervised. I will ask about your pup's needs and any information important to you as the owner. They will always get lots of love and cuddles!
“I recently had the pleasure of having Robert look after my cat, Aurora, while I was away, and I couldn't be happier with the care he provided. From the moment we arranged the cat-sitting, Robert was professional, communicative, and very attentive to Aurora's needs. Robert checked in daily, sending me updates and photos of Aurora, which really put my mind at ease. His love for animals is evident, and Aurora warmed up to him quickly, which is no small feat as she can be quite shy around new people. He followed all my instructions perfectly, ensuring Aurora's feeding schedule was maintained and attention. I could tell that Aurora was in great hands and was being well-cared for while I was away. I highly recommend Robert for anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter. His dedication and affection for animals make him an excellent choice, and I will definitely be reaching out to him again in the future. Thank you, Robert, for taking such great care of Aurora!”

“Bazarkul is the best! She always takes great care of my two older cats and truly goes above and beyond to send me updates and make sure they are happy and well cared for while I’m away.”
“Chase was attentive to all of my dog’s needs while I was away and send regular updates about his behavior. I definitely plan to trust the care of my dog with Chase in the future!”

“I cannot recommend Stephanie and Brian enough! They always take such good care of my cat Luna and are very reliable, responsive and caring :) I’ve rebooked with them several times”


“Amanda did a fabulous job taking care of our foster dog while we went on a day trip. She was communicative and on top of everything and our pup loved her!”

“Keti was wonderful with my cat, I’ve never seen him so friendly with a stranger. He was the happiest I’ve ever seen him after coming back from a trip. She did a great job taking care of him and we couldn’t be happier.”

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.
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 Far Rockaway 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.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
