“I had such a great experience with Jinghong! My dog is usually pretty skittish around new people, but he warmed up to her almost immediately. Jinghong has such a calm, patient energy that dogs naturally trust. She is reliable, communicative, and sends the sweetest updates and photos during and after each visit. I feel completely at ease knowing my pup is with her. If you have a shy, reactive, or sensitive dog, I highly recommend Jinghong. She has been such a great match for my dog .”

About: Hi, I’m Kaila. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will give your dog extra love, you’ve come to the right place! Other than being responsible and caring, my goal is to understand every client’s wants and needs. Let me know if you have any special requests, and I would be sure to accommodate them. I send updates while taking care of your pet so that you can rest assured that your dog is safe with me. I know how much the protection of your pet means to you, so that is my #1 priority! As for my background, I have interned at Oradell Animal Hospital observing surgeries, sitting in on clinical appointments, and familiarizing myself with different dog breeds and their unique personalities and medical needs. I have also worked as a Veterinary Assistant, assisting veterinarians during handling, exams and medical procedures. I have just graduated with my Bachelor's Degree and am working part-time as a medical receptionist so I have extra time to look after your furry loved ones. I have pivoted my career path but I still have a special place in my heart for caring for animals and am on Rover to fulfill that! I can also take care of cats or any small animals. My preference is for smaller animals for doggy daycare/boarding since my apartment is on the smaller side! I am able to provide plenty of quality time with your pups! My schedule is that I work part-time and I try to keep my Calendar updated as much as I can. Safety is a top priority. I always stay attentive when opening/closing front doors and make sure there isn’t anything unsafe on the floor or reachable for your pet! In terms of play, I love to provide your dogs with mental and physical exercise. Bring your dog’s favorite toys and treats, and I’ll be sure to have some fun with them and make your dog feel comfortable. I look forward to get to know you and your wonderful dog soon.

“I have a really nervous and picky dog, and he warmed up to Chris within minutes!! I’ve had several pet sitters over the years and the only one he loves is his grandpa (husband’s dad). However, Chris has met him three times now and based on pictures alone I can tell my little guy is feeling more and more comfortable each visit. I am definitely a repeat customer! I have another trip in the next couple weeks and am SO glad I can go away without worrying about the stress levels of my pup. Thanks so much Chris + Jack!!”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I grew up with dogs and now have a cat of my own, so I understand both the energy and companionship of dogs and the unique personalities and routines of cats. As a pet parent, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to following each pet parent’s instructions and routine. Whether your pet needs a walk, feeding, playtime, litter care, or simply some extra attention and companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the day for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m happy to work with your pet’s established routine and provide reliable, attentive care when you can’t be there. I understand the trust it takes to have someone care for your pet in your home. During drop-in visits, I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, litter care, playtime, and any other routines. For dog walks, I’ll prioritize safety and follow your preferences for routes, pace, and interactions with other dogs. I’ll also send photos and updates after each visit so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years through family and friends, and I’m always the person they trust to watch their pets. I genuinely love animals, and dogs tend to feel comfortable with me very quickly. I have experience with small and medium-sized dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m especially patient with more anxious or sensitive dogs. I have an anxious dog of my own, which has taught me how to read body language, build trust, and create a calm, safe environment. I’m very attentive and detail-oriented, so I always follow care instructions closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines. I can also help reinforce basic training like leash manners and structure during walks. My goal is to make every dog feel cared for, understood, and happy while giving owners complete peace of mind. I treat every dog like my own and always keep communication open and consistent. I’m available Thursday through Sunday, with the most flexibility on weekends. On Thursdays and Fridays, I work part-time and am home by early afternoon, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and evening care. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication above everything. I follow each pet’s routine closely and take the time to understand their individual needs, behaviors, and comfort levels. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, as well as a very friendly Shihpoo who is used to being around other dogs. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels comfortable and secure. I also have a pet camera at home for added monitoring, and a baby gate if a dog feels more comfortable in a smaller, more confined space. I’m especially mindful with more anxious dogs, as I have one of my own, so I understand the importance of patience and creating a calm, safe environment.

About: I have been a dog lover and animal rights advocate all of my life and I have always wanted to work with animals in some capacity. Making dogs happy has always been such a fulfilling goal of mine so walking and playing with your dogs is one way I can do that. I have previously worked at a dog hotel and know how to handle different sizes and temperaments so I am experienced in all situations. I am a big advocate for the more cuddles the better so your dog will feel loved for the entirety of their time with me! I currently work from home and it is flexible so I will be able to walk your dog as often as they need to. I have two dogs of my own that are super sweet and loves other dogs so your dog will fit very well into our already existing routine. I am respectful by following the rules of your home when I come into your home to pick up your dog. I will never do something that you do not approve of first whether it be giving a certain treat, going to a park, etc. Trust is the key!

About: I’ve been caring for both dogs and cats for many years and truly love spending time with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take pride in providing personalized care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, starting with my own dog during my teen years and continuing with my current dog, Jack — a 9‑year‑old German Shepherd/Chow Chow mix. I trained Jack through his puppy stage and still give him daily walks, playtime, and lots of love. Over the years, I’ve also become the go‑to dog caretaker for friends and family. Whether they’re heading out of town or just need someone to stop by for a playdate, I’m always happy to help. I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I’m currently in between jobs and have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for dogs. I’m typically available throughout the week during the day for walks, check‑ins, or just spending quality time with your pup. I love filling my days with dog care, so I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. For drop‑in visits, I focus on making your dog feel comfortable and cared for in their own space. I follow your feeding and routine instructions closely, refresh water, give plenty of attention, and make sure they get the playtime or quiet time they prefer. I always take a gentle, reassuring approach so your pup feels safe while you’re away. For dog‑walking services, I make each walk enjoyable and stress‑free. I tailor the pace and route to your dog’s energy level and comfort, keep walks positive and safe, and make sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. After each walk, I ensure they’re settled and content before I leave. My goal with both services is to provide warm, reliable care that keeps your dog happy and gives you peace of mind throughout the day.

About: I have extensive experience working in Veterinary Emergency Care, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety, and how to recognize subtle changes in a pet’s well-being. I provide personalized boarding in my home and accept only one family at a time, allowing me to give each pet individualized attention in a calm, low-stress environment. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, high-energy dogs, anxious pets, and dogs that require additional monitoring or support. I am also happy to reinforce training and routines that owners are already working on at home. I understand that being away from home can be stressful for some pets, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine and make their stay feel as familiar and comfortable as possible. Whether your dog sleeps in a crate, on a dog bed, on the couch, or in bed with their family, I will follow the routine you have established at home whenever possible. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, secure, and cared for while you’re away. I provide personalized care and keep my schedule flexible so that the pets in my care receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I rarely leave the house for more than an hour, and only occasionally for up to two hours if I need to run an errand. This allows me to provide regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, companionship, and plenty of supervision. Because I only host one family at a time, I am able to give each pet my full attention and maintain the routine they are used to at home. Whether your dog enjoys playing, going for walks, relaxing on the couch, sleeping in a crate, or curling up on the bed, I do my best to make their stay feel comfortable, familiar, and stress-free. Providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment is extremely important to me. My home is organized with pet safety in mind, and I strive to create a peaceful setting where dogs can relax and feel at home. Communication is also a priority, and owners can expect regular photos, videos, and updates throughout their pet’s stay.

About: I am a puppy mom in Astoria/LIC, close to many scenic walks and dog parks. I know how important it is (especially with puppies) that you re-enforce positive behaviors and training so your pup comes back behaving how you want them! I have been caring for others dogs (friends, neighbors, coworkers) for the past 10 years and have now successfully raised and train my own dog over the past year. I am also very active and love to run! I am happy to take your pup out with me. My dog Bailey is very friendly, she is already looking forward to play dates with your pup! She is very well socialized and adapts to any level of play that your dog can throw at us!

About: I grew up with dogs in the house and have walked and house sat for many clients. I have experience with puppy training, working with reactive dogs, working with high energy dogs and senior dogs, and have a special love for vizlas and other bird dogs My daily and weekly schedule vary from week to week since I’m a freelance worker but I’m typically free weekends and mornings and mid- afternoons. I like to prioritize keeping the space very clean, if not cleaner than I found it when caring for a home. In my home I’ve kept a very demanding pet which entailed early bathroom breaks, at least two 5+ miles a day, and plenty of reactivity training that entailed practicing meeting new people and dogs in comfortable environments. I also have experience with both cats and dogs that aren’t big people pets and know how to approach with respect to their autonomy and read their body language.

Nicole has been a great sitter for my two cats. We were away for a week and she took really good care of them. My cats have special needs and she followed my request diligently. Her background as a vet tech allows her to handle my cats with confidence and care. She FaceTimed me everyday during the visit so I had great peace of mind. She was very gentle with the cats and they love her. I’ll surely book her again for my next vacation.

One of our cats needs multiple medicines and the other is quite shy and she has worked to get both to love her! All the while she’s been communicative, caring, and gone the extra mile. Christina is great and I can’t sing her praises enough!

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

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.
