“Ebony is a lifesaver!!! Took care of our four pets for 3 days super super last minute — she is super communicative, sends pictures often, and took our dogs on a walk daily. I have a kitten and she took special care of him. Took extra time to make sure each pet felt comfy with her. She’s our go-to sitter now!”

About: I have taken care of multiple relatives dogs for as long as I can remember. I was responsible for feeding them (whether it was regular dog food or a special concoction), taking them out for walks, giving them pets and taking them to the park. I have mainly taken care of older dogs, but they were big and energetic! I also have grown up with a cats, Guinea pigs, fish and hermit crabs at one point! I’m currently a full time college student, but I have room in my schedule to take care of your animals and give them all the love and play they need! Growing up with animals, I am very receptive on how to take care of them. I have dog sat for multiple people and I have had cats my whole life! I will make sure your pet is comforted and well cared for in your home and I will make sure no harm comes to your animal or house.

“Amanda is awesomeness incarnate. My two cats loved her! I know this because I got daily updates and pictures of the little monsters making faces that they only make when they're really comfortable. She was great with them, even when they misbehaved (and even though she ratted them out to me, they didn't hold it against her). She's a great communicator, and eased my mind so I could relax on vacatiron, knowing she had it all under control.”

About: I have grown up with animals my whole life and have cared for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, mice and fish. My background as a Special ed teacher means that I am detail oriented and patient to ensure your pet is safe and happy while you are away ❤️ I have also included some reviews from my profile on Trusted House Sitters My name is Tom, Im from the Hudson Valley area which is 2 hours north of NYC. I received my bachelors in Childhood Education and Masters degree in Special Education from SUNY New Paltz. I am currently a Special Ed teacher in upstate NY. Before taking a sit, I would love to video chat so I can meet your animal and we can go over what is required of me during my time in your home. I am adaptable to any needs you and your pet(s) may have. I have my own personal items such as a collapsible water dish, doggie bags, treats, belt buckle leash, etc. I am also happy to use any equipment you have if you and your pup are more comfortable with that.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 12 years old and moved in with my dad. He had two red nose pitbulls who I loved and adored. I would play for hours and pet for hours. I would be the one responsible for their walking, feeding, and hygiene (baths, nail cutting, ear cleaning) and I genuinely enjoyed it. My grandparents had a Pomeranian for some years prior, and I would every weekend ask to go and see the dog. I loved him and he loved me, he would jump so high every time I walked through the door! I taught him how to do “paw”, roll over, and many more tricks. When I reached a driving age, my grandparents asked me if I would care for him while they were out of town, which was often. I would either stop in 4x a day for potty breaks and food checks or pick him up and bring him for a car ride and long walks(weather permitting) with a nice treat after. I currently work full time, and am available to care for your pet(s) Fridays after 6pm-Sunday night, perfect for pet parents who planned a weekend getaway! I will treat your pet as if they were my own. I talk to them, I give them endless lovin’. I am very observant and take note of what they do/do not like, to avoid upsetting them. Even things like if they were needing to be brushed, have their eyes/ears wiped, I will do it without issue because I would do the same if it were my pet.

About: I've been surrounded by and taken care of animals my entire life, and I want to be your new trustworthy pet sitter or dog walker! I have a standard poodle named Remy and maine coon cat named Bash at home, and they are my everything. I've fostered kittens (as young as 2.5 weeks old) for six years now and have been a petsitter for longer. I'm great with people and even better with cats and dogs. I want to keep your pets safe and happy, and you worry-free! I can administer medicine, trim nails, walk any size dog, clean, monitor urine and stool output, keep track of mood and general signs for concern, and I love sending cute update pictures so you know your pets are thriving! I just graduated with my master’s in occupational therapy and I’m studying for my boards, so my days are free and I’d love to sit for you or care for your pets however you need! I'm great at following directions and problem-solving, and I'll do whatever I can to make sure you're comfortable with me entering your home to care for your pets. I understand different types of collars, leashes, and equipment needed to guarantee a pet's safety. I am very aware of my surroundings and good at reading a pet's energy and potential reactivity. I've had animals my entire life, so closing the door quickly and not letting pets out is second nature to me. I know your pets are your family, and I will treat them as such!

“Jasmine was absolutely wonderful. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and treated them as if they were her own pets. She gave them plenty of love, attention, and time to explore and enjoy the outdoors. It was clear from the start that Jasmine is a true professional who genuinely cares about the animals in her care. We felt completely comfortable knowing our crew was in such good hands, and we are so happy we found her. We would highly recommend Jasmine to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to care for their pets!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 10 years and have experience with all kinds of pets, from large dogs like German Shepherds to small terriers, cats, kittens, and even fish. I’ve cared for energetic, shy, and senior pets, including those with specific diets or unique needs. I’m very adaptable, patient, and genuinely love animals, so I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m a college student, so my schedule is pretty consistent during the week. My busiest days are Tuesdays (8 AM–4 PM) and Wednesdays (10 AM–4 PM). On Mondays and Fridays, I’m only away from 10 AM–2 PM, and Thursdays I’m gone just from 11 AM–12 PM. Outside of classes, I’m very flexible and able to give pets plenty of attention, walks, and care. I also work part-time at a country club, but it’s currently the off-season, so my schedule is mostly focused on school. In my home, pets are treated like family. I have two friendly pets of my own, so I’m very used to maintaining a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and stick to their usual routines. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions and make it a priority to understand each pet’s specific needs, habits, and personality. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, litter box or potty routines, and any special care instructions. If I’m ever unsure about something, I always ask to make sure I’m doing exactly what’s best for your pet. I’m very patient, reliable, and detail-oriented, and I truly care about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

I specialize in active dog adventures, precise cat routines, and giving pet parents complete peace of mind. Your fur baby's happiness and safety is my priority! While I work full-time during weekdays, my evenings and weekends are dedicated entirely to animals! My schedule is ideal for parents who need reliable after-hours care or weekend getaway coverage. I am available for evening drop-ins to handle dinner and bedtime routines, and my weekends are completely open for long walks, outdoor adventures, and overnight stays. Because I live in a cozy condo with limited space, I exclusively provide care inside your home. This allows your pets to stay in their familiar environment, reduces stress, and keeps their exact routines intact!

About: I have been an animal lover since day one!! I am an experienced hand-on Dog/Cat/Horse owner and Dog breeder. I love all types of breeds, sizes and personalities. I make it my priority to make sure your fur family member feels loved and safe on this new adventure. I’m an online college student so being home isn’t a problem for me. I enjoy spending time outside so tailoring your furry friends exercise schedule to mine will be a breeze. From first ruffs to mature ruffs i have experience taking care of fur baby’s of all ages! My experience includes puppy training to administering extra attention to old or sick fur baby’s making them most comfortable In a new setting. Every fur family member needs a unique style of care and I look forward to learning yours! I'm attentive, responsible, and genuinely invested in making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. My goal is to take care of your fur family as if it were my own. I’m excited to be apart of your fur family’s next adventure! I am an online college student so being at home is routine for me. I work at my own pace so caring for your fur family member comes first no matter what time it comes at. Whatever schedule your fur family member is used to is the least you can expect from me. Outside play time or walks - inside rest time or training, my goal is to make you and your fur family feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I live on several acres of property that is fenced in from the road, so playtime is not only fun but safe as well. I always keep visiting fur friends on a leash if outside just for extra safety. If your fur family member is used to a crate or three-count sheets you can be sure routine will be kept.

“Oona took such good care of our cat Charlie and our home while we were in the hospital for the week giving birth to our daughter. She was flexible with the days/time given our situation and kept in contact to let us know how Charlie was doing. We returned home to a super clean house, she even watered the plants and took in all our packages. Charlie seemed happy, was brushed and well fed. Highly recommend her to take care of your pet/home, we will definitely reach back out to her as needed.”

About: I have always had animals in my house ranging from reptiles to kittens. Currently I have three dogs and two cats. Growing up with animals has taught me how to care for a wide range of breeds and temperaments. Along with caring for my own animals I regularly sit for family and friends. I also have worked in a pet store where I learned how to care for puppies and kittens properly in a wide range of breeds. Between caring for their health needs to how to properly groom certain breeds. I am excited to help with your pets needs! Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine well. I work a flexible job remotely that allows me to step away from my computer as needed allowing me to care for your animals when needed! I will care for your pets with all the love and attention to detail. I have worked with dogs that are high energy and need long walks to older animals that simply need someone to hang out with. I will pay close attention to your details about how to care for your animal and also what your animal needs at the time.

Amruta did a great job looking after my two cats while I was away. She is responsible, caring, and excellent at communicating with me throughout. Even though my cats are shy, she spent time with them each day until they were ready to play. I would definitely recommend her and plan to schedule again with Amruta next time.

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 .

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 .

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.

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.
