“Leslee was great! Very clear communication and kept us up to date with everything. Felt very confident/comfortable in her abilities to take care of our kitties. Would recommend and will be rebooking if we should need services again:)”
“Phedre took the best care of our three kitties for multiple days while we were on a trip. She sent descriptive messages regarding what the kitties were up to, how well they ate their dinners, and followed our instructions perfectly. We are so glad to have found a true animal lover who we won’t hesitate to contact should we need her help in the future. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have experience caring for all kinds of small and big animals, including pets, farm animals, and even wild animals with conservation organizations. I love learning all the details of what constitutes the best care for each animal! I'm pretty good at basic training with dogs and puppies, and even kitties!! I give kitty and doggy massage and (reiki) energy, animals can feel our energy for sure! Sometimes I can intuitively pick up on little changes that could really help them. I'm a self-employed entrepreneur. I teach some yoga therapy clients, and have art healing sessions at different times throughout the week. These are short sessions, so I would only be away from the pet-sit house for a few hours, and planned ahead of time, but also able to be flexible as needed. I'm able to accommodate morning, midday, or evening times for all care needs. Occasionally I'm able to take a pet-sit dog on a walk with a walk client if everyone gets along, which I'm pretty good at facilitating actually, but I always ask first, and never push for it. I like to really check in with each animal and give them plenty of specialized attention. Especially at first, it takes a little time for them to build trust with a new person! I also like to keep to the routines that they expect. My cat gets treats upon waking, and before we go to bed, she likes the consistency. She likes variation in play-time and exploration, and I aim to help her build confidence in approaching new situations, she has been an amazing adventure cat and companion! I learn each pets favorite spot to chill, and when they do and don't want attention. I listen for, and learn their cues, and communication.
About: I've never had a dog myself but I love being around them! I've helped take care of dogs in the family for a few years now! I’m a college student looking to earn some extra side money! That being said I don’t have a completely open schedule but definitely willing to work with you!! I am not offering services that include bringing your pet to my home because I am in circumstances that wouldn't make that very beneficial but I will do everything I can to ensure your babies feel loved!
About: I’ve been pet sitting for just over two years, mostly for friends and family, and I love it! I’m great with dogs and cats, sticking to their routines, and making sure they are happy while you are away. I am a college student trying to save so I take this job very seriously and am reliable. I’ll even tidy up your house so you can come home to a clean space and a very happy furry friend! I’m a full time college student and all my classes are in the morning. I only work a part time job so I have most of my weekends available to watch your pets and some weekdays. I’m someone who you can feel comfortable leaving in your home. I’m respectful, responsible, and treat everyone space like it is my own(Maybe a little better than my own). I understand how important trust is when you are leaving you pet and home In someone else’s care. My goal is for you to come back to happy animals and a home that looks the way you left it. I send daily photos updates and try to stick to routines as best as possible. I will do extra things like water plants, bring in mail, and do some light cleaning as well!
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was young and have pet sat for friends neighbors and family members. Along with pet sitting I have 2 pooches of my own one of which requires some extra special care. I have experience taking care of pets of all ages and sizes, my experience does not stop at dogs as I have taken care of cats, lizards, and chickens as well. I am a full time student with availability at the beginning and end of each day and some here and there in the middle, I also work full time on the weekends but make sure to stop in on pooches during my breaks, overnight, or before and after work to give them the attention they so deserve! As a pet owner we want only the best for our pets, as a pet sitter we want to keep your pets in their most comfortable and safe space your home! Keeping them happy and healthy and respecting your ways of keeping them whether that be crates to keep them away from mischief or free roaming as the ruler of their space. The goal is to keep them comfortable and stress free with ample amounts of love and attention.
“Olivia is definitely someone you want to look after your fur babies. She has a warm presence and truly loves animals. She is so genuine and really cared about making our pet feel loved while we were away. She was so incredibly professional, is kind hearted and Leo our cat loved her immediately! She was super communicative, easy going, trustworthy and thoughtful. We loved her picture updates and sweet handwritten note with Leo’s well being while we were away. Look no further she’s your gal! Definitely found our sitter!”
About: I’ve cared for neighborhood animals since I was around 11 and got my own dogs at 12. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and energy levels and love them all. I’m an RN looking to spend some quality time with some good puppies. I work three days a week 7a-7p and in August will go part time while I’m in grad school. I live in an apartment so walks and hanging out at the doggo’s house would be best. I am very responsible and can’t wait to throw a frisbee, go on walks, and cuddle with the puppers.
About: You can count on me to provide specific, knowledgeable, and loving care with your pets. I grew up around various dog breeds, cat personalities, guinea pigs, bunnies, and even birds! From my upbringing, I have extensive experience with animal body language, their needs, and even have experience training dogs. Dogs and cats were my childhood, and still hold a special place in my heart today. I understand the anxieties of leaving your critters at home, whether it’s just for a day, or for a trip. I promise in my care, your fur babies will be properly cared for, protected, and truly adored! I currently work full time, mostly 10-6 and 11-7 shifts, with my days off being Sunday and Tuesday. Outside of my working hours, I am flexible and available to come spend time with your pets! Unfortunately, I currently live in apartment that does not allow pets, so I do not offer services within my home. But I am an incredibly reliable petsitter in my clients home. I have a reputation for being respectful, trustworthy, and a truly loving petsitter. I always aim to provide the service I would want to receive.
“I am new to Rover. Perhaps my expectations are unrealistic. My cat looked miserable in every photo, though the short written reports all said how well she was doing. It didn't give me peace of mind while I was away. I think her basic needs of food, medicine and litter scooping were met. I enjoyed meeting with Liz and Anna prior to the trip.”
About: I've walked and cared for both dogs and cats for 9 years now. I'm a hard-working and responsible house sitter, and will show all your animals equal love and attention! I pride myself on being responsible with your animal's safety and will make sure they're happy and loved while you're away! I work part time, so my schedule is flexible and I have a lot of time on my hands! I mostly enjoy working afternoons to evenings, but morning walks or petsitting is a very doable request! I provide pet care services in clients' homes, keeping pets company and making sure they're comfortable while owners are away. I handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks, and playtime according to each owner's instructions. I secure the home after visits and send updates so owners have peace of mind while away.
About: I am very energetic and genuinely happy to see dogs and cats everywhere I go. I have a 13-year old cattle dog mix, 5-year old cat, and 1.5 year old pug. I love saying hi to all types of animals when I’m out and about. My older dog walks pretty slow for a short distance while my younger pup loves going on runs with me. I enjoy hanging out with cats whether that be on the couch or playing with their toys. I’m currently working full-time, but I’m usually free when I get off work at 3:30pm to stop by and check on your pet. I like to stay active so if I’m not out walking you can find me taking a yoga class. I’m very respectful of you and your pets home and will only go into areas only when necessary to take care of your pets. I don’t leave a mess and will clean up after your pet if accidents or spills happen when I am taking care of them.
About: I have had three medium breeds and one small breed throughout my life. I have helped feed, walk, and play with all of them often. I am currently a college student with weekends, and a good amount of time during the week open. Saturday-Tuesday is preferable, other days are negotiable. I care for pets with compassion and patience. I give them as much love and attention as they ask for and respect their needs and space.
“I was really nervous about hiring a stranger to come in and to care for my 2 cats, but joleene completely put me at ease. She shows up on time and is very much an animal lover. She followed all of the routines that I told her that my cats like. I would definitely recommend her to care for your fur babies!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Garden City
Amazing care throughout our extended trip. Kalli, your rover cards and communication while we were gone were both incredible. I had immense peace of mind knowing that the cats were in such capable hands. I appreciate the things you did around the house as well - grabbing mail, bringing the trash in, and especially putting the dog food away when it was delivered. Thank you thank you! We will definitely be return customers.
Alinda was great! This was my first experience booking with Rover, and she did not disappoint. She watched my two cats while I was out of town and followed all of my instructions, which was so important for my cat with health issues. She was punctual, flexible, communicated frequently, respectful of my home, and very attentive to my cats. I will definitely be booking with her again!
I'm giving Alie 5 Stars only because 10 Stars is not an option. She's the best sitter I've had by far. Always on point with pix, care and communication. She's now my "go-to" sitter. If you're seeking someone who is thoughtful, professional, and trustworthy, she's the best. Full stop!
Stephani was amazing! She sent me photos and updates on the boys (our cats) each day. She was even able to coax them out of hiding to eat on the 3rd day. They are very frightened of people they don’t know. She also brought in a package that was left on our front porch. We have already booked with her for upcoming care fr the boys. I highly recommend and trust Stephani!
I’ve booked with Kristi a couple times now, and I feel so much better about traveling knowing my kitties are well taken care of and checked in on while I’m gone. The daily updates and photos are really appreciated, and I know the kitties like having company. I highly recommend booking with Kristi!

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 .

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.
