“My husband and I met Amya when we were at a routine vet visit with our beautiful cat Hailey. We were instantly amazed at how well Hailey responded to her. Hailey typically feels threatened by people she doesn’t know, yet was calmed by Amya’s presence. We knew that we wanted to hire her to help us administer oral medication‘s to our furbaby. She gave us a link to her Rover account and we hired her that very night.. Amya is a beautiful human being and we’re blessed to have met her.”
“Julia was amazing with my cat! From the moment we connected, she was communicative, professional, and clearly a true animal lover. While I was away, she sent the sweetest updates and photos that genuinely made my day—my cat looked so happy and relaxed with her! She went above and beyond to make sure he was well-fed, played with, and comfortable. I came home to a happy, calm cat and everything in perfect order. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I would 100% book with Julia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind sitter!”
About: My first job was as a dog walker when I was 12! I have grown up with cats and dogs - caring for them from puppies/kittens through to their golden years. I have also dog/house sat for a large rescue + their several senior cats! My goal is to get to know each pet I interact with so that me and your pet can enjoy our time together. Furry friends are family and I treat them as such. I have also volunteered at 2 different rescues over the past several years helping care for cats as well as walk and play with dogs of all ages. I am currently finishing my last year of medical school so my schedule is not completely free. However, I do typically have evenings, weekends, and a random day off during the week! I get my current schedule 1 month at a time and am happy to accommodate outside my scheduled hospital shifts. I am very respectful of others rules for their home and their pets. I am a tidy person who hates messes in my own home so wouldn't leave them in anyone else's.
“I've been fortunate enough to have Jonathan drop-in on my 2 young Boston Terriers while I'm at work. I first met him in advance so he could meet my dogs and I. We met in person so that he could meet my dogs and of provide any instructions and he was very professional. From that point forward, he's communicated very well and I know my 2 dogs have been in great hands with him. It's very clear he loves animals and I'm happy he spends time with my 2 girls when I have to go on-site to work. I highly recommend Jonathan to other pet parents.”
About: Ive had experience with all types of animals, dogs, cats, furry ones, even reptiles. Ive house sat, and dog sat for friends when they go away for the past few years. I can also take care of reptiles, cats, and small furry animals. I understand having animals, and going away can be stressful with finding someone who you trust with your loved pets. I will care for them as if they’re my own. I have a full time career in Law Enforcement but i live with my brother who would be able to let the pup out if godforbid an emergency on my end happens. I have a rotating schedule so my schedule is definitely flexible. Most of the time my days off fall on weekdays. I also have 3 day weekends where i am home most of the time. I work 6am to 2pm 5 days a week, then I am off for 2 days then my schedule flips to 2pm to 10pm 5 days a week with 3 days off. I am also able to drop in while working atleast once in the middle of the day. So your pup wouldn’t have to wait 8 hours to go outside. I have a decent sized fenced in yard, and also have 2 pups at home who are all friendly, trained, and crate trained if your pup wants alone time. I also live in a part of the house that allows your dog to roam freely without any other animals around.
About: Hi! My name is Marissa, 26 years old & I live in Rockville Centre. Growing up, dogs were always part of my life. While living home with my parents, I helped care for our 3 dogs- Sugar, Cookie & Leche- which gave me experience caring for multiple dogs at once, of all different breeds, ages & temperaments. More recently, my boyfriend and I rescued a cat, which has given me experience with cat care as well! I’m committed to providing quality & attentive- care, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I am patient, flexible, and dependable, and look forward to meeting new fur babies and their owners! I have availability during the day into the late evenings from Sunday- Friday. I am available for dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting. I will always be available & responsive, for you to contact. I provide a calm & quiet environment for them and always make sure your pet is hydrated, fed and well cared for. I will send photos and detailed messages that include everything that happened during the drop- in visit or the walk (+ anything I notice that is brought to my attention). Just let me know if you’d like any plants watered, mail brought inside, garbage to the curb or fish to be fed!
“Juliana was wonderful with my three cats! She is gentle, calm, and gets everything done just how you would like it. My cats that can sometimes be quite shy with strangers got along with her well. Highly recommend!”
About: I have experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs, providing feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box care, affection, and plenty of attention while their families are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly schedule. I plan visits around my work schedule and maintain consistent feeding, playtime, litter box care, and plenty of attention. I’m dependable about keeping scheduled visits and communicating with pet parents. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I follow their usual routines, pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and make sure they have fresh food, water, and a clean space. I treat each home with care and respect and communicate with pet parents so they feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for.
About: Over the course of my time I've taken care of and lived with goldfish, parakeets, a big old mutt, several great cats...and chickens. Considering that I grew up in Manhattan, I'd say that if that doesn't account for exeptional qualifications to love and care for our furry (or scaly, or feathered) friends, I'm not sure what could! Our kids are off exploring the world as newly minted adults leaving my wife and I with two finicky cats. With a little extra time on my hands I thought it would be a good idea to help other pet owners out to work all day or preferably, gone on a much needed vacation but looking for someone to check in on their furry loved ones. I freelance from home as a designer, so I typically have time at both ends of the day to extend a helping hand to anyone who needs a little extra care for their pet. We have 2 cats at home of whom I am the primary caretaker of, so adding a visit to a neighbor in need would be easy. I will follow all instructions and care indications you give for your pet(s) to the letter and provide pictures of completion if you request it.
“My fur babies love Vanessa and Family. If you need a sitter, drop in, emergency, trust Vanessa. Communicates and goes above and beyond the request. 10/10 HIGHLY HIGHLY HiGHLY recommend.”
“Our cats are our kids and we hate them being lonely and uncomfortable when we are away. Our newest rescue also seems to not like men so much, so this time when we needed a sitter last minute we reached out to Ella and hit the jackpot!! Ella followed all our directions for feeding etc and kept our house clean while we were away...which isn't easy with 2 cats. Our cats, which can be very shy initially, fell in love with Ella and it put us at ease knowing how happy they were with her and how much they looked forward to seeing her. Highly recommend Ella to take care of your pets. She is very responsible, corresponds with you very well, and loves your pets like her own.”
“Sarah did a wonderful job caring for our cat, Theo, while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures and notes about him during her visits, and made sure he was getting the attention and care he needed. Sarah went above and beyond and we felt so much better knowing she was there to check in and spend time with him. We will absolutely be requesting Sarah to care for Theo again the next time we are away. Highly recommend!”

A Truly Special Person Who Has a Gift with Animals 🩷 I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Ella. Leaving my 17-year-old cat, Lily, for 10 days was not easy, especially because Lily is incredibly shy and fearful of people. She was born to a feral mother and, in her 17 years, has never allowed anyone other than me to get close to her. Ella came twice a day to care for Lily, and what happened was truly remarkable. Not only did Ella earn Lily’s trust, but she was actually able to pet her, brush her, and even play with her! Something no one else has ever been able to do. To know that Lily felt safe enough to let Ella into her little world means more to me than words can express. This goes far beyond being a good pet sitter. It takes a very special kind of person to connect with an animal who has spent her entire life keeping humans at a distance. Ella has a beautiful soul, a gentle spirit, and a genuine love for animals that Lily somehow recognized and trusted. Knowing that Lily was not only cared for but also loved, comforted, and given the patience she needed while I was away brought me such peace of mind. I will forever be grateful to Ella for the kindness and compassion she showed my sweet, senior girl. If you are looking for someone to care for your beloved pet as if they were her own, I cannot recommend Ella highly enough. She is truly a rare find, and Lily and I are so lucky to have found her. 💜🐾
Jenny was responsive and on top of things. During the meet and greet she asked a lot of questions to make sure that she had all the information. She was happy to meet our two cats. During her visits, she checked in with me and sent pictures. Everyone was happy to have her visit.
Michael was amazing with my two shy cats. He was gentle and patient and overall just what they needed. He was respectable of our space and followed instructions well. So grateful he made my first Rover experience a smooth and positive one! Reliable and very responsive. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook in the future.
Robert was absolutely wonderful with my cat. He is reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. He sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My cat can be a little particular, but she warmed up to him immediately - a true testament to his calm and caring approach. He took excellent care of her space, followed all instructions perfectly, and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat, and that says it all. I would recommend Robert without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated cat sitter. I’ll definitely be booking him again!

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. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , 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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
