“Amanda was so great helping take care of our kitty while out of town. She is great at communication and we will absolutely be using her every time we go out of town.”
About: Hi! I am a stay-at-home mom of a human baby and two fur babies. I previously worked in upstate NY for a dog training company, My Dog Hikes, as a dog hiker where we took dogs from NYC into the woods for full day dog-care fun. Because of this I am comfortable giving medication and using training commands. I also have a Cattle Dog (Clayton) and Black Lab mix (Tarzan) of my own. I would love to take your little ones on the trails, play fetch in the yard, or just snuggle on the couch with lots of pets. I have a very open schedule so can work around any timeframe you need! As childcare is very expensive, please note before booking me that my son, Eli (3), will be joining me on my jobs. We can always meet beforehand to see if it's a good fit! Additionally - I do not accept requests for recurring weekly services and prefer them to be sporadic. As I am a stay-at-home mom your typical work week is when I am available. I can be flexible around your schedule! I can also stop by to spend some time with your pets on the weekend, so you can go enjoy a trip away. (: I do not care for dogs in my own home as my Lab does not like other dogs. In your home, however, I take care to follow all instructions closely! I take many pictures so prepare for cuteness overload. I also have experience working with a dog training/walking company in NYC and am comfortable with a wide array of needs.
“Anna took incredible care of my cat while I was away. She was patient while he warmed up, hung out with him, and made sure he had food/water/clean litter box. So grateful to have found her!”
“Gradee & Jerry were wonderful! They had a separate room all set up for our cat which made us feel like she’s safer and more comfortable. She also had access to meet other pets when ready. We felt like she was really well taken care of. They even had a special feast for her on Christmas. I would definitely recommend Gradee & Jerry and we’ll be reaching back out when we need help watching her in the future.”
“Abby is an absolute blessing and was a pleasure working with, to coordinate care for our little one. Abby's response time was excellent, she is flexible, communicates well and we loved the updates and photo after each visit. We could not have asked for better. Thank you Abby!”
“Khayl is one of a kind . Our little Kitty passed away right before our trip. She came over though to take care of our fish for us. I love that we got videos of them and she went out of her way to also help clean the fish tank. Truly amazing.”
“They had incredible service, great communication, and were incredibly kind. Thank you guys so much for your time with our boys! It means everything to us, and we will definitely utilize your services again if need be. Thank you again!”
“My 1st time using any online pet sitting service and I was lucky to have gotten Kim which was also a last minute emergency-request Christmas Break 2023. Kim was above and beyond great, kind, and helpful! My cat doesn't like any human as much as she does Me and now Kim! (My daughter isn't thrilled about that fact. LOL!) I completely trusted Kim with my home, my indoor cat and outdoor critters who also think they're family and can't be forgotten if I'm away. There was no doubt that I wanted Kim this 2nd time I had to be away. If I could give her more $, I always would because you can't put a price to the care and worry you and your pets feel when you have to be away from them. Kim KNOWS how to take care of ALL animals and she will care and respect your home (your pets home)! Thank you Kim for loving my Cat & my new Cat now too! My critters outside were also happy campers. Thank You for taking care of them too!”
“I highly recommend Constance. She looked after my three cats with different needs/personalities for two weeks while I was on work travel, sending notes and photos each visit that really put my mind at ease while leaving my “kids” for that long. She took time to understand each cat’s personality so that they quickly came around to welcoming her into their home. She won all three over! I would definitely book her services again. My kitties give 5 stars.”
“Meghan was able to board our recently adopted kitty on short notice. She took extra special care of him and really made him feel a part of her home. Our kitty got plenty of love and companionship in addition to stellar care while he was with Meghan. Would highly recommend!!”
“Princess help me out tremendously for my 30 day trip abroad. Did two weekly visits and followed the -admittedly- overly specific instructions required for all of my cats including their food, litter-robot, and more. Made my trip so much less stressful!”
About: I have lived with animals most of my life. While I currently do not own a pet, I have continued to surround myself with the animals of my friends and family. I started cat-sitting 2 years ago. When I pet sit, I aim to ensure a great experience for my furry friends. I am currently working part-time as an Occupational Therapist (OTR/L) and am flexible in my hours. I am currently a part-time Occupational Therapist, so I have flexibility in my schedule to take care of your furry friend. I have my own transportation as well. I work hard to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your animal in their home environment. A detailed description of your animal's needs is much appreciated.
About: I have raised a puppy, and also dog-sat and cat-sat many times. I do have one cat living with me now and love all animals. I work from home M-F 7-3 but my schedule is flexible, I can take long lunches or leave early if needed. I can also take my laptop on the go if necessary to provide company for your pet. Regular feeding and walks for dogs or interaction for cats. Positive reinforcement. Regularly cleaning litter box. Keeping their water refilled and fresh. Also lots of play/cuddles.
“Sarah is an absolute gem & 100% our go-to! Fantastic actions shots & extremely thoughtful descriptions that helped us feel connected to everyone at home & confident in each babies' adjustment to us being away. Her calm demeanor is perfect for our wild bunch, even our *not the most secure* pup who can have a hard time making friends & meeting new ppl. On top of it all, she is an absolute delight to work with! 10/10”

Nora is absolutely amazing, and I cannot recommend her enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She has always taken such wonderful care of our pets and our home, and I feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in her hands while we’re away. This trip, I ended up having a couple of extra requests come up, and Nora went above and beyond to help me with every single one of them without hesitation. She is incredibly dependable, accommodating, responsive, and genuinely caring. It means so much to have a pet sitter I can truly rely on, especially when I’m away from home. Nora consistently makes things easier and gives me such peace of mind knowing everyone is being well cared for. We are so grateful for her and feel very lucky to have found her. She will absolutely continue to be our go-to sitter! ❤️🐾
Absolutely nothing to complain about. Khayl came by prior to trip to get a lay of the land and meet my whole damn zoo. They were super communicative, asking great questions and providing detailed pet updates daily. I know my pets were well taken care of because they barely batted an eye when we returned! Clearly Khayl provided them with more than adequate feedings and lovings. Would recommend.
Wynona jumped in to help us out when our regular sitter was unavailable. She was wonderful!! She was prompt, communicative, and helped looked after our home while we were gone. She went out of her way to visit an additional day when I had a delivery too. Super sweet, and thoughtful. She even came by ahead of time to learn the nuances. Highly recommend!
Victoria was wonderful! I have two cats who are usually very shy around new people, but they were comfortable around her. She took pictures every time she came over, and from the very first day, she had the shy cats interacting and playing with her. She was communicative throughout and took excellent care of things, including giving photo updates on how much they’d eaten. I would definitely book her again in the future.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. 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.
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.

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 Meet & Greet .
