“On short notice, Stephanie was able to stop in and check on my cat when I went away for 5 days. My cat is really shy but even came out from behind the couch on the last day Stephanie was checking in on her.”
About: Growing up and throughout high school, I was the go-to person in my neighborhood for pet sitting and house sitting, a role I've continued to enjoy while moving around the country. Now, having grown up with both cats and dogs. I have a lot of experience working with shy or anxious animals and helping them feel safe. I offer overnight pet care for one or more animals, which includes feeding, administering medications, playtime, walks (if requested), and giving lots of love and attention. I also handle waste removal. For shorter visits, I can stop by for potty breaks, playtime, or dog walks. I adjust walk length and pace based on your pet’s needs and am happy to accommodate any special requests. Before caring for your pet, please provide any important details like dietary restrictions, emergency contacts, preferred veterinary clinics, and whether your pet has insurance. Any additional instructions are always appreciated! I have a flexible work schedule, with most of my work shifts taking place in the mornings. This allows me to be available in the afternoons and evenings for pet sitting and house sitting, ensuring I can provide consistent care and attention to your pets when needed. ### Safety, Trust, and Environment **Safety:** Your pet's safety is my top priority. I have extensive experience working with animals, including shy or anxious pets, and am well-versed in handling various behaviors and situations. Whether it's administering medications or ensuring your home is secure, I take every step to create a safe and nurturing environment for your pets. I always follow any specific care instructions to ensure your pet is comfortable and healthy. **Trust:** I understand the importance of trust when it comes to pet care and house sitting. I have years of experience caring for pets in multiple locations across the country, and I’ve built long-standing relationships with neighbors and friends who trust me to care for their animals. You can count on me to respect your home and keep your pets well-cared-for as if they were my own. **Environment:** I strive to create a calm and stress-free environment for your pets while you’re away. Whether it’s maintaining their daily routine, offering extra playtime, or providing a quiet, comfortable space for rest, I cater to their unique needs. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved in their home environment, and I do everything possible to ensure their comfort.
“She did a great job looking after our 4 cats. She followed my feeding instructions and did a good job cleaning up their litter boxes. She gave attention and playtime to the cats that were willing to play ( our one cat is extremely shy). She also kept me up to date with how the visit went.”
About: I’ve spent years caring for animals of all ages — from energetic young puppies to senior dogs needing medication and a softer touch. My background working with animals (including horses and dogs) has given me strong skills in reading body language, managing different energy levels, and keeping pets calm, safe, and happy. I know how to balance play with structure for young pups, and I have the patience and attentiveness to support older dogs who may need slower walks, potty breaks, or extra cuddles. I’m available weekdays during school hours, which means you can count on me for consistent mid-morning, lunchtime, and early afternoon walks or visits. • Weekdays: 9 AM – 2 PM (perfect for mid-day breaks) • Evenings/Weekends: Available on request This routine lets me focus fully on your pets when most owners are away at work. Safety is always my top priority — especially for young puppies and older dogs. Walks are always on-leash, and I keep routes safe and calm, avoiding busy roads and overstimulating environments. For drop-ins, I follow your routine exactly — meals, water refresh, potty breaks, playtime, and medications if needed. I double-check everything before leaving, and I send updates with photos so you always know how your pup is doing.
“Melissa provided pictures, videos, and summaries of her visit every day. She went above and beyond to take care of our cat, and even though we missed her, we never worried about her. She also offered to take care of plants, sweeping the litter, etc, to make our life easier upon our return. Melissa clearly loves animals and I would highly recommend her.”
About: I am a pet owner and animal lover. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, horses, birds, fish, and rodents. I have worked with many animals and am comfortable grooming, walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets. I also have experience in medication administration I have been a volunteer at the SPCA and have participated in their pet care summer programs. I've spent most my life caring for all different types of animals and would love to help families out by doing the same for them. I am an energetic undergraduate student with a flexible schedule and look forward to meeting and loving your pets! Animals are truly a humans best friend. Please feel free to contact me to discuss my services. Yours truly, Michelle

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Glens Falls
Amber was an excellent and very thorough pet sitter and I would absolutely book with her again. She was attentive to our sweet kitty and gave him the love and attention he deserves while we were out of town. She also went the extra mile to check our cats water and food dispensers to ensure they were working properly. It is clear she loves each animal and takes great care of them!

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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 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.
