About: I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away! I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own, taking the time to understand their unique personality, routine, and needs. I currently do drop in visits and house sit for a 3-year-old Pit Bull named Dutch, providing walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and lots of affection while maintaining his regular routine. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive, and I understand how important consistency is for pets. Whether your pet loves long walks, energetic play sessions, quiet companionship, sticking to their daily routine, or just wants to sit outside and supervise the neighborhood squirrels, I'm committed to providing the same level of care and love that I'd want for my own pets. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, capable hands. :) I currently work part-time in the environmental field and work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule to meet your pet's needs. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or sticking to your pet's regular routine, I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for both you and your furry friend. :) Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I know every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel most comfortable. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love while following your instructions closely. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands!

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and taken care of other people’s animals as well (: I’m very pet friendly have a few rescue animals myself! I’m currently a stay at home mom but my son is enrolled at school and I’m looking for a way to mix my hobbies into a profession I have one dog friendly cat and one cat friendly dog.

About: I have owned animals my whole life and cared for them. I attended an animal science program for two years where I cared for dogs of all sizes and ages. My duties included walking, feeding, bathing, nail and fur trimming, and cleaning kennels. I have also pet sat for friends and family for 4 years taking care of both cats and dogs. I am currently a full time student but I do a mix of in person and virtual classes and take a light course load so I have plenty of time to fit pet care into my schedule. I can easily crate pets if needed, I am good at calming down animals in distress. I can also administer medication and follow special diets as needed.
“This was our 2nd time using Nicole as our catsitter. Our cats were immediately comfortable with her when she came to visit to get instructions. Both our cats are old and one requires 2 shots, medicated wipe on butt & pill daily-Nicole took care of all these no problem. Cats are happy and heathy when we returned. She is the best!”

About: Rosie’s path to dog training began with a curiosity about animals that started early. As a teenager, she went to vet camp and attended a spay & neuter program which exposed her to animal health and hands-on veterinary care. Those early experiences sparked an interest not just in caring for animals, but in understanding how health, environment, and behavior intersect. That curiosity eventually led her into professional animal care and welfare. She spent several years working hands-on with dogs before joining Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC), where she gained experience with animals across a wide range of temperaments, histories, and behavioral needs. Working in a high-volume shelter environment - particularly with anxious and behaviorally complex dogs.. Over time, behavior and training became the natural focus of her work. Rosie has continued to deepen her knowledge of relationship-based and balanced training, behavior modification, play-based training, socialization and neutrality, and breed-specific care. Training her own service dog has been one of her most formative experiences, giving her an up-close understanding of how relationship, consistency, technique, and clear communication come together to create reliable behavior in the real world. Rosie’s curiosity extends beyond traditional dog training. She is deeply interested in the foundations of whole-animal wellbeing including nutrition, husbandry, enrichment, physical health, genetics, and environment, and how each can influence behavior. Her experiences with both dogs and cats have reinforced her belief that behavior rarely exists in isolation. Today, Rosie brings that perspective to her work with dogs and their people. Rather than focusing solely on commands or correcting unwanted behaviors, she wants to understand the individual animal - their temperament, instincts, history, environment, needs, and relationship with their person - and use that understanding to create training that is thoughtful, practical, and built for everyday life. Rosie is currently engaging in ongoing clinics and applied training focused on canine behavior, training foundations, behavior modification, enrichment, and handler communication. I do pet care full time as I train dogs and cats! I have a full house of animals with two cats, two dogs and a reptile! We enjoy an active life with walks, play and adventure although have a nice balance with rest too:) Safety is my #1 priority. I firmly believe that a trained animal is a happy animal! Every animal that comes into my care has clear expectations so everyone can thrive to the best of their ability. If at daycare, I have the ability to crate and separate dogs and I have a clean, fenced in backyard that has a doggy pool for those warm summer days! For check ins and walks, i'm all about what is most comfortable for the pet. If your cat just needs someone to clean their litter box, thats what I'm there for! Wether its a potty break or full adventure, I'm here for it!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Hills
Xiaoying was truly the best sitter we could have asked for! She genuinely cared for our cats and went above and beyond our expectations. She followed all of our instructions carefully and showed so much thoughtfulness and attention to detail. Every day, she sent us incredibly detailed updates along with tons of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind throughout our trip. Thanks to her, we were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing our cats were in such good hands! She even left some toys for them, which was such a sweet gesture. One of our cats is extremely shy, but Xiaoying was incredibly patient and made a genuine effort to earn her trust. We could tell that even our shy cat was becoming more comfortable around her, which meant so much to us. She is hands down one of the best sitters we’ve ever had! We would absolutely love to have her take care of our cats again in the future. We trust her completely and can’t recommend her highly enough! ❤️
Siyu is wonderful! She’s very thoughtful and detail-oriented, and always makes sure everything is taken care of and in order. My two senior cats love her, which means so much to me and gives me peace of mind whenever I’m away. I really appreciate how reliable and caring she is. I’m so glad I found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great cat sitter!

My skittish shy cats were very comfortable with Kathryn, which is very unusual for them! I think this is a testament to Kathryn's patience and pet sitting skills :) Kathryn was absolutely lovely to work with and gave me thorough daily updates. She would be my first choice as a pet sitter the next time I need one.

Briana was so great!! I had a last minute family emergency come up and needed a sitter desperately for my cat and not only did she agree to take care of my cat last minute but she came to my place the same day I reached out to her before I had to leave for my flight to do a meet and greet. My cat instantly liked her energy and let her pet him/greet him. She responded quickly from the beginning all the way to the end of the visit and was also a great communicator. She went above and beyond for my cat by cleaning/refilling his bowls every day, cleaning his litter box, giving him pets/affection and sending me photos as well for my own reassurance! This was my first time leaving my cat with a stranger and I couldn’t be happier with how she handled everything! I would highly recommend her for anyone’s little fur baby!

I cannot thank Nicole enough for the extraordinary care she gave my senior cat, Ralph. Ralph can be quite fractious and relies on precise daily medication. Nicole went above and beyond: she worked with us for over a month before my trip to get accustomed to Ralph's temperament and help prep the apartment for safe dosing. Because of her thorough preparation, she was able to handle Ralph’s medication with 100% confidence while I was away. She was super communicative throughout. Nicole is patient, reliable, and exceptionally skilled with older or higher need pets.

Sin Ying is wonderful with cats! My cat is very shy and cautious around strangers, but he warmed up to her surprisingly well and was comfortable interacting with her. She was also great at administering his medication and inhaler, Really appreciated how patient and gentle she was with him. Absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter!

I found out my cat had an ear infection 1 day before a 10 day international trip. I usually have my neighbor watch her, but the vet wanted me to wipe a scratch near her ear once a day and administer ear drops in her ear twice a day so I knew I needed more help. Natalia responded almost immediately to my request and she was at my apartment meeting my cat within 24hrs! She was communicative, kind, and best of all was able to wipe her scratch AND get ear drops into her ear (she’s very wriggly so this was impressive!). I was so grateful for peace of mind so last minute! She’s the best of the best!

Zoe took care of our little kittens like they were her own! She was always on time and sent us so many wonderful photos and videos that put our minds at ease. She followed all of our instructions to the letter and the kittens loved hanging out with her! We will definitely be having Zoe come back to watch our precious little fur babies.

We have booked Charlie to watch over our two cats twice already and will continue to do so. He is very attentive to their needs. When we returned home, their bowls were washed and spotless, the floor was swept and also spotless. He even offered to water our plants. He truly cares about your pet and we know that our cats are left in excellent hands.

Laura has been taking care of Flurry regularly for the past few weeks, and I couldn’t be happier with her care. She is thoughtful, organized, respectful, and compassionate, and I especially appreciate how much she adapts to Flurry’s individual preferences. He’s a very easily scared kitty, but Laura is incredibly patient and gentle, taking the time to build his trust drop-in by drop-in. I’m confident that he’ll continue to slowly open up to her, and Ill continue to book her services :)

Tedy is everything you're looking for in a cat sitter. She is attentive, warm and treated our cats as if they were her own! Her amazing care and excellent communications made us so happy while we were away, knowing our furbabies were in capable hands. Thank you so much Tedy! We are so lucky to have found you!

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 .
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 .
