“Leah took great care of our two cats while we were away. We appreciated the daily photo updates and notes on how the cats were doing. Good communicator and very responsive.”
“Kimmie was excellent. She took such good care of our kitties that even our shy one was comfortable around her. Everything was clean and taken care of when we got back home.”
“Alina was great! Both of my fur babies were super excited to meet her, which shocked me since my girl is usually the one that you have to bribe with treats to be social. My boy has never met a stranger and was happy to have the extra attention. Alina communicated after each visit and took photos of my babies while she was there. She was available during the holiday weekend and kind enough to not jack up her prices. I would recommend her to anyone that needs their furbabies to be properly cared for. I will most certainly request her assistance again if I have to leave town.”
“AnnMarie took care of my dog like he was her own. She went above and beyond taking care of him while I was gone on vacation. She communicated well and sent plenty of pictures and videos. I would 100% recommend AnnMarie and would repeat again if the need would arise. Thank you so much for taking care of Sunny.”
“Mario was great to work with. He sent plenty of pics and updates daily. Lottie was well taken care of. Mario even collected eggs from our chickens. Was very satisfied with Mario and will be a future return customer.”
About: I've been taking care of pets since before I remember. Growing up I cared of neighbors', family members' and friends' pets on a multitude of occasions to go on long walks, feed, bathe, and give attention to whilst they are away. Ive taken care of newborn kittens and puppies as well as elderly fuzzy friends who need meds and daily iv's/shots. Ive even assisted a cat birth and successfully resuscitated a kitten! I am comfortable with giving all animals even exotics the care love and attention they deserve. I've had many cats and dogs of my own over the years and have cared for my families' beagle mix who is 15 yrs old and thriving. I've fostered over 7 cats, and have 4 cats currently! I'm currently trying to do this full time with the help of my husband. I want to spend more time in my element, spending time and spreading love to all the furry friends, because that is what I love. <3 If you decide to hire me, I am a clean organized person who prioritizes the pet and will give them my full attention. I am a non smoker, and clean neurotically, so your home will most likely be cleaner than you left it as a perk
About: I have raised many puppies in my 10 years of experience. I like to take my dog and other fluffs on long walks through different parks and hiking trails. We always start the day with a high energy run/play at the park to get as much exercise in as possible. Throughout the day we go on shorter more frequent walks to keep her using the potty and help stay active. Our nightly walk consists of a long walk around our neighborhood to get out any extra energy so we can have a great nights sleep! I like to reward with treats and I don't mind animals on the furniture. Currently, I am a stay-at-home mom which makes me able to care for fluffs all day long. I still like to get in my exercise and taking the fluffs with me help keep me busy. I have a 4 month old puppy of my own who has MANY toys and places to sleep. She is very outgoing and house trained. I have space to crate your fluff baby if you'd like - please bring your own crate. I can also do basic puppy training as well - sit, lay, stay, handshake etc. I will also provide pictures and videos throughout our stay!
“Needed someone for a last-minute drop in for the next day and Margaret willingly accepted. She was timely and send photos while there. Will definitely contact her again.”
About: Hi, I’m Cory! I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have many years of hands on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I grew up with multiple dogs of my own and have also cared for many dogs and cats through Rover over the years. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I do have a kitten named Callie who is very friendly and accustomed to the dogs that stay with us. Your dog does not need to be cat friendly to stay with me. If your dog doesn’t do well with cats, just let me know ahead of time so I can make arrangements to keep Callie safely separated and give your dog their own space. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while you’re away. My goal is to make every dog in my care feel safe, comfortable, loved, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and am happy to follow specific feeding schedules, walking routines, sleeping arrangements, and other instructions you provide. I’m also experienced with administering medications, including oral medications and insulin injections, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs who require a little extra attention as part of their daily routine. I currently work at a middle school on weekdays until 1:45 PM. While I’m at work, my husband is home with our three children, so dogs staying with us are never left home alone during that time. Once I’m home, I’m available to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, cuddles, and companionship. We also have a fully fenced in yard, giving dogs plenty of space to safely get outside, stretch their legs, play, and enjoy some fresh air throughout the day. IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING: Because this is a family home with children and I may care for dogs from more than one household, all dogs staying with me must be friendly and safe around children. Dogs must also be friendly with other dogs unless we have discussed and arranged a private stay in advance. If your dog is not dog friendly or you are unsure how they behave around other dogs, I may still be able to accommodate them ONLY when arranged with me ahead of time and I have no other dogs scheduled to board during their stay. Please contact me before booking so I can confirm whether I’m able to provide a private stay for your requested dates. Otherwise, dogs staying with me must be comfortable and safe around other dogs. For the safety of my family and every animal in my care, I ask that you be completely open with me about your dog’s personality, habits, medical needs, anxieties, triggers, and typical behavior. The more I know about your dog beforehand, the better I can make their stay comfortable, safe, and enjoyable. I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, and I want you to feel confident knowing they’re being treated like part of the family while they’re here. You can depend on me to provide attentive, reliable, and loving care and to treat your pet as I would my own. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or tell me a little about your pet before booking. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐾 I'm off from work during the summer and during the school year I work at a middle school until 1:45. While I’m gone, my family will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I will do anything to make your pup feel comfortable and at home away from home during his stay with me. I love detailed instructions so please feel free to let me know everything about your pet! I have a fenced in yard and 2 children who are huge dog lovers who would love to keep your dog(s) busy and keep them company!
“Theresa did a great job caring for my black and white cat Leo who needs injections of insulin and for my orange cat Oliver. She was able to accomplish everything needed and was very pleasant to work with!”
About: I have been Dog and Cat sitting Full Time, I have many 5 star reviews on TrustedHousesitters. I just heard of Rover and am excited to try it. I am friendly, energetic and reliable. Dog sitting has been such a rewarding experience, and I am grateful for this responsibility. I am very blessed to have animal companionship through this service. Pets need the same things we humans do; attention, affection, play, and protection. Thank you for reading and I look forward to the opportunity to provide care for your pet. Their safety and happiness is my priority. I have experience with all personalities and I genuinely love caring for pets and going for walks and hikes and cuddles. I am currently working remotely, I will have plenty of time to care for you pup. Hoping to get to meet wonderful animals her in Portland. I am very neat and organized, I need a clean space to function. I have loads of reviews mentioning how clean I am. I am very patient, and love to go on walks and play.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life and have always genuinely enjoyed caring for them and treating them as if they were my own. I am gentle, loving, trustworthy and dependable. I adapt quickly and comfortably to each pet’s individual needs and routine. I’m happy to provide walks, feedings, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’ve also worked for the past six years caring for children and adults with autism and other intellectual and physical disabilities. My experience as a caregiver has taught me patience, attentiveness, responsibility, and, most importantly, how important it is to have someone you can truly trust caring for someone you love. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my #1 priority. I also want to build a relationship with them so they feel safe, comfortable, and just as loved while in my care as they do with their family. ❤️ I currently have open availability, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for & play with your pets! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends and can easily accommodate different schedules. I provide a safe, clean, comfortable and loving environment where your pet will receive plenty of attention and supervision. I’ll follow any routines and instructions you provide. I live in an apartment with no animals currently so your pet will always be close by and well supervised. ❤️
About: I’ve walked and trained my own lab mix (10) as well as worked as a dog walker and sitter for independent clients. I’m great with energetic dogs of all sizes. I work a minimum wage job full time during the week, but am looking to supplement or replace it with dog walking on weekends and evenings. At my clients home I will sit out with the dog and crate it easily if needed. I am able to take the dog out every few hours and love taking them on long walks if desired.
“Kelly was very reliable and resourceful. She followed our instructions to the letter, including the locking of the back deck slider--not easy to do. Our cats were content and even the skittish cat who avoids everyone, came out to say "Hi" to Kelly when she came in--that says so much. I would indeed recommend Kelly and Rover for cat and dog home services when you need to be away from home.”
About: I love animals ! We have three rescues at home, and this gives me an opportunity to love other animals too! I have been a certified volunteer dog walker at a local shelter. Our dogs are a member of our family , and I know yours are as well. I understand how hard it is to leave our furry children, that's why I try to care for your dog as you would. I am in good physical health for walks and playtime. I am a resident of the Hudson Valley for over 30 years and raised a family here. I am mature, dependable and honest. I would love the opportunity to care for your precious pet if you chose me. I volunteer 2 days a week for 3 hours a day at a local shelter, but am available the rest of the time for your pet. My three dogs have a fenced in yard. With your pet, I will walk or take out in your yard, lots of cuddling too, whatever your pet is used to. Cats will have clean litter box, and cuddling.

It's a leap of faith to try a new pet sitter. I really liked Zach when we met for the meet and greet, so I booked him and hoped for the best. Turns out, I worried for nothing. He arrived on time, followed all directions and was very attentive to Sam. He did a great job and I will definitely book him again.

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;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
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 Fishkill 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. 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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , 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 Meet & Greet .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
