About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve been the reliable friend people turn to when they’re away. Some of the routines look like: stopping in to feed pets, provide fresh water, clean up, and offer enrichment and play, and companionship so they feel comfortable and not alone. I also have experience house sitting and staying overnight for up to four nights, making sure pets feel safe, settled, and cared for in their own environment. I’ve been around animals since I was about 10 years old, including golden retrievers, labs, and cats, and I often ask to say hello when I see a furry friend out and about. I welcome different temperaments and adjust myself to meet them where they’re comfortable. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and aim to provide calm, attentive, and loving care so fur babies feel secure, seen, and cared for while their best friend is away. I am available all days of the week, between 9:00 am-6:00 pm, can provide overnight care, please send me a message. (Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat) The goal is calm, consistency, and reading pet cues. 1. Follow their routine exactly Pets feel safest with predictability. Feed at the same times Use the same food amounts and bowls Keep walks/playtime similar to what they’re used to Even small changes can make sensitive pets anxious. 2. Do a careful first check-in When I arrive: I look for water level, food, accidents, or damage I observe their behavior (hiding, excited, nervous, clingy) I let them come to me rather than forcing interaction. 3. I arrive with a calm presence Many pets don’t need constant stimulation, they need steady companionship. I prefer to sit quietly near them, talk softly and let shy pets approach me on their terms 4. Exercise + enrichment (tailored to each pet) Dogs: walks, sniff time, fetch (if they enjoy it) Cats: wand toys, gentle play, window time I may suggest to keep sessions short if they get overstimulated 5. I like to help keep the home clean and safe by scooping litter boxes daily (sometimes twice per day), pick up wrappers or food items immediately, wipe paws if needed after walks, and keep doors locked and secure at all times 6. Respect their boundaries This is a big one for trust: I try not to force picking up or petting and watch for signs like tail flicking, hiding, freezing, or overstimulation. I let them decompress alone if needed. 7. I love the saying, “Leave things better than you found them” My fur friends owners say they appreciate: Clean bowls and litter areas, a tidy feeding/walking area, and the notes about how they did during the visit 8. I communicate clearly Send updates like: “Fed, walked, and doing well,” Photos (if allowed) and any changes in behavior or appetite
“Excellent sitter! Provided honest and prompt updates after each check-in/visit, and always included several photos of the cat! 10/10 would recommend. Her love for animals is demonstrated”
“Shana did a great job taken care of our kitty for 10 days. Followed all our instructions and kept us updated on her and shared pictures. We were very lucky that she was available for the holidays. Will definitely hire again.”
“Caroline was so great with our dogs!! They absolutely loved her and were showing off whenever she arrived! We were obsessed with the report cards at the end of each visit. Both my husband and I agreed we would be booking with Caroline again ☺️”
“I would definitely recommend Bailey to anyone looking for a sitter to drop in on their cat(s). I hired Bailey to drop in on my cat over a 3ish week timespan. She followed instructions carefully and, more impressively, was able to get my very shy cat to open up to her. For context, my cat is extremely wary of strangers and hides when unfamiliar people are at my house. I was very happy to eventually see pictures of my cat happily cuddling up to Bailey. Bailey also clearly cares about providing excellent care to her clients’ animals.”
“Great communication and worked with us on tight notice. My (typically shy) dog warmed up to him immediately at the meet and greet. Thank you for taking great care of her!”
“Ani was a really great sitter for our two dogs when we were away on a trip for a few days! She’s super friendly and the pups loved her. She provided lots of pics and a summary of each of her visits, and was super flexible for us when plans changed, definitely wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again next time we are out of town!”
“Sandra was so great! She checked in a bunch, and was so lovely with my animals. She even straightened up a bit! Highly recommend! I will be booking with her into the future, instead of trying to rope in friends/family. Thank you Sandra!”
“Noah was amazing with our two pups while we were away on vacation. He gave us confidence in his care from the moment we introduced him to the dogs. Will be using him for all of our trips!”
“I’d absolutely recommend James. He’s super responsive, and even though my dog can be slow to warm up to new people, James was patient and willing to keep trying. He really supported us while I was on a trip. 100% recommended.”
“Emilia is fantastic! She took excellent care of our kitty while we were away for a few days. She is very reliable, and clearly loves animals - and they love her. :) I will definitely be using her again.”
“Jackie is amazing! She was dependable, detail-oriented, and easy to work with during her first week with our pup. She uses good judgment and provides the relief and assurance a new puppy mommy needs! She sent detailed updates throughout her days with Mr. Mustard and somehow managed to take perfect pictures of him, even though he is often camera shy. :) We've booked her for an upcoming stay and look forward to working with her in the future. Thanks, Jackie!”
“Veda is very sweet, responsible, and prompt at responding. She went above and beyond taking care of my dog and I felt very comfortable leaving her in her care. Definitely recommend her!”
“Allie was an awesome cat sitter for the weekend i was away. My younger cat, Mylo, even made friends with her, which is amazing because he’s usually nervous with new people. I came home to happy cats and a tidy home, and I’d gladly book her again.”
“Elissa took great care of my dog while I was out of town celebrating my birthday. She was punctual, responsible, and followed all of my instructions perfectly. She kept me updated during each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands. I really appreciated how reliable and caring she was throughout the entire experience. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Elissa!”
“Lydia is absolutely great! She takes such good care of our two girls; she is very attentive to their needs and makes sure they get lots of activity and attention whenever she visits. 11/10!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Hunts Point
We had a great experience with Madysen! I made the booking extremely last minute, but Madysen was very accommodating and still made time for a meet & greet. She seemed very knowledgeable and followed all of our cat care instructions! It was also great to see our shy cat appear in photos and get some love since he usually hides until company leaves. Thanks so much Madysen!
Hongfei took great care of my cats over the weekend. He was very attentive, spent plenty of time playing with them, and made sure they were comfortable and happy. He even cleaned up a hairball when she threw up, which I really appreciated. It was clear that he genuinely cares about cats. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.
Vicky was an absolutely amazing pet sitter! From the very beginning, she treated our pets with so much love, patience, and care. She sent us thoughtful daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us see how happy they were while we were away. She quickly won both of our pets’ hearts, and it was clear they felt comfortable, safe, and loved with her. We feel incredibly lucky to have found someone who cared for them as if they were her own. We couldn’t recommend Vicky more highly, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Vicky, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family!
Mari is fantastic! I was in a bind with a last-minute trip and had no one to look after my kitties. I needed someone quick, but as a first-time user of a pet-sitting service, I was a bit nervous. Mari made everything so easy. Her communication was top-notch—she kept me updated with plenty of photos, and the kitties absolutely loved her. Thank you, Mari, for taking such great care of them!
Zheru was great with our cat! This was our first time leaving our cat alone and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We received a lot of cute photos and a video everyday, as well as a detailed description of the visit. Our cat quickly became affectionate with Zheru and seemed to be very excited to see her each day for playtime. I would highly recommend Zheru!
Yuan has watched my cat 4 times now, and I can’t recommend her enough! She always sends the best photos and videos, which I look forward to. I feel completely at ease knowing my cat is so well cared for, with fresh food, water, and lots of attention every visit. It’s obvious she truly loves animals, and that really shines through in her updates.

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.

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.
