“Toni is always the best!!! I love that she was able to watch both our dog and cat this round! They just love her so much! She goes above and beyond every single time.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life so I’m use to taking care of them and they give me a certain comfort to be with them especially while I can also help someone who might be going out for awhile. I do have a job as a hostess in the near by area but there only 4 hour shifts so I don’t get scheduled to often so I believe that it won’t interfere with the dog/cat. I do have a 13yr old yorkie at my home but if per say a dog doesn’t get along with animals I can separate them in room to accommodate for that issue
About: *I ONLY TAKE ONE CLIENT AT A TIME* *DOGS MUST BE CRATE TRAINED* I've cared for dogs for most of my life, including my own dogs as well as my client's dogs. As a housekeeper for many years, I was the natural choice when my clients needed a pet sitter. Their pets became like my very own. Now that we no longer have a dog in our home and so I enjoy caring for my client's "borrowed" dogs while they are out of town. Hablo español. My husband and I work part-time. Our schedules allow at least one of us to be home all day so your pet will be closely monitored for their safety. I have a fenced-in yard and no other pets in my home. I require a meet & greet before the booking to meet your dog and for you to meet me to make sure we are a good fit. For our safety as well as your dog's safety, I require proof of current Rabies vaccination. At this time, we do not accept more than one client at a time. This is for your pet's comfort and safety. We require a meet & greet with you and your pet before confirming any boarding visit.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Glen Ridge
I recently went out of the country and I cannot thank Margaret enough for the incredible care she provided for my kitties. Leaving Vader, Gray, and my Outdoor Crew is never easy, but Margaret made the entire process stress-free. What I appreciated most was her exceptional communication; she let me know exactly what was going on with them every single day. Getting those consistent updates provided such peace of mind while I was away. Margaret was professional, reliable, and clearly gave them so much love. I came home to very happy, relaxed pets. I highly recommend Margaret to any pet parent!"
Aline was wonderful with our cat Star. She watched her for a few hours and was attentive, kind, and very easy to communicate with. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and made sure Star was comfortable and well looked after the entire time. We really appreciated her reliability and the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Aline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Alexa is amazing!!! She not only came to rescue when we needed last minute help but went above and beyond to take care of my cats. I really appreciate her communication, photos and that she even cleaned up when it wasn’t asked of her! Will definitely have Alexa help watch my little angels again asap!
Andres was an amazing cat sitter! He followed all instructions carefully and treated my cat with great care. I truly appreciated how reliable and attentive he was throughout the visit. I’m especially grateful he was available last minute when I needed to be away, and I would absolutely book him again! Thank you!💖
Evan was awesome with my two cats. They loved him and appreciated his playing. Evan provided extremely thorough and detailed updates to me in each of his visits and asked any clarifying questions he needed to. I would highly recommend Evan to anyone looking for a sitter in the area.
Lizzy is terrific. She is not only very pleasant, but reliable and most important…my two cats liked her and they don’t particularly like anyone other than their mom! I had a package arrive that required refrigeration and she shot over to put it in the refrigerator. I will be calling on her again soon. Thanks again Lizzy, you’re the best! :)

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
