“Amanda was amazing with Flint! We had a pretty last minute situation and she came through for us with no hesitation. She was super attentive, communicative, and really took initiative during her drop-ins. She noticed things, checked in with us when needed, and went above and beyond without us having to ask. I felt comfortable knowing Flint was in good hands while we were away. Definitely someone I’ll be booking again in the future. Highly recommend Amanda!”
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Regina K. as a pet sitter for my cat, Layla, while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Regina followed all of the instructions I left for her perfectly and took great care of Layla during each home visit. She was very nice and pleasant to communicate with, which made me feel at ease while I was away. Regina made sure Layla had her treats, wet food, and fresh water, cleaned the litter box thoroughly, and even spent time playing with her—something that meant a lot to me. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Layla’s well-being and comfort. I really appreciate Regina’s help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you, Regina!”
“Such a great spirit and understanding of our dogs needs and temperament. She went above and beyond, playing basketball with him in the cold and recognized when he was stressed. She was great in cleaning behind our dog and following instructions to T in locking up the property.”
About: I've been caring for animals in different capacities for at least a year, and being a cat owner myself has shown me how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Our pets are family, and they deserve to be treated with the same love and attention we give them ourselves. I have experience walking dogs, as well as caring for cats with specific needs. Specifically, with my own cat who has kidney disease and eats prescription food. Additionally, I have experience administering medication (through food as well as by syringe). My goal is to provide every pet with compassionate, reliable care while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family members are in good hands. My schedule is currently very flexible for the summer, allowing me to accommodate a variety of booking needs. Before any service, I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet's routine and needs, and ensure we're a great fit. I want you to feel completely comfortable and confident that your pet will be in caring, reliable hands. When your pet is with me, they'll receive plenty of affection, playtime, and personalized care based on their needs and personality. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated, so you can expect regular messages, along with adorable photos and videos, to let you know how your furry friend is doing and how their walk or visit is going.
About: We are more than just a sitter, we are your pet’s official companion, dedicated to giving them love, attention, play, and well-being every day in a reliable way. My time is dedicated to caring for, accompanying, and playing with your puppies. I offer a flexible schedule to look after them and give them playtime whenever they need it. We provide attentive and personalized care for your pets in your home, ensuring their comfort, feeding, hygiene, play, affection, and safety, while adapting to their daily routines and needs.
“Rosandy and Edward are phenomenal people who provide excellent care for Blaze and Starlette. From the very first moment I spoke to the couple, I knew I found the best persons for the job. They are trustworthy and reliable, kind and caring. The communication is outstanding. Above all, Blaze and Starlette are calm and comfortable with them. I am a flight attendant, with Rosandy and Edward, I can certainly relax at work and rest easy fr those nights I am away from home. I am beyond thankful for meeting you both.”
About: I have over a decade of experience as a pet owner with dogs of all sizes. I am happy to help petowners balance their own needs while also balancing their fur babies’ needs. I work a 9-5 remotely that is generally busier during the weekdays with more open availability during the weekends and towards the end of the work week. In order to be able to tend to the needs of pets appropriately, I have limited my availability to the days where I have room to look after pets properly. I keep my pets indoors. To keep things simple and for the safety of all pets involved, I do not open my home to other pets. I am however, open to caring for pets in their own homes which is generally what they are most comfortable in.
About: I have taken care of pets from friends and family since I was 10 years old. Overtime, I have developed an ability to make dogs and cats feel at home and welcomed through proper time and attention, the key for anyone and any animal to feel loved. Changing wet pads, showering and bathing pets, running and playing with dogs, and cuddling with animals are second nature to me and I have years of experience doing each. Currently, I am working full time 9am-5pm during the weekdays. Outside of those hours, having the pet come with me on outdoor activities when weather allows and staying inside to lounge around are common. I usually see it as an excuse to keep active during my sedentary office lifestyle. Time in = trust out. Building trust and making your pet feel safe and sound is one of my main priorities. In order for that bond to exist, consistent attention and care is needed. From proper feeding, regular walking, and rigorous playing, pets in my care will return back to you in good spirits.
“Leaving a review again just in case I didn't last time. Very satisfied with Dayanara and her coming in to check up on my cats whenever I need someone to make sure they're okay. Always gives me peace of mind to know she's there to tend to my cats' needs. Thank you!!”

About: I have three years of experience in a doggy daycare where I was trained by dog trainers I am very good at picking up on dog behavior.

“Shanna did an amazing job caring for my cats while I was away on a much-needed vacation. From our initial meeting, my cats took to her right away, which was such a relief! She was very responsive and shared thoughtful, detailed updates in each Rover card. I genuinely looked forward to reading them after every visit. It was clear she cared for Skylar & Jackson as if they were her own. I was able to feel at ease during my trip because I knew they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“I am very happy with Irene. She was professional, caring, and made sure my pets felt comfortable and loved. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Howard Beach
Emily took such wonderful care of my cats, Tigerlily and Dante, and we are all very grateful for her. This was our first time leaving our cats behind. We were nervous but Emily made the whole experience completely stress-free with her kindness, consistent updates, and genuine love for animals. Tigerlily is usually pretty shy, and Dante loves attention, but somehow Emily made both of them feel so comfortable and cared for. She sent sweet photos and messages that really reassured me they were happy, and getting lots of love while we were away. When we came home, both cats were relaxed and had clearly enjoyed their time with her. It’s obvious that Emily genuinely cares about the animals she watches, and that kind of trust and warmth means everything. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and thoughtful cat sitter. Five stars without hesitation!
As always, Emilie did the best job taking care of our kitties! She is wonderful with them, and they’re so comfortable and happy with her every time she comes over. I’d recommend Emilie to anybody, but especially if you have a cat that is shy, because she has been so patient with our super shy cat.
Arianna did a phenomenal job while providing drop-in visits with my fur babies. She was quite attentive to their needs and showered them with lots of affection. One of my babies craved excessive affection and Arianna was patient enough to provide extra petting. In addition, she pays attention to details. and understood when one of my babies wasn't in the mood to be friendly. But because she didn't neglect him, but instead found ways to work with him, he eventually came around on her side. Arianna is a wonderful cat sitter. hence the reason why I gave her 5 stars. Therefore. without any hesitation, I highly recommend her as she proves that she loves what she does. Thank you Arianna. I appreciate you.

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.

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.

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.

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.
