“Dominick is a wonderful sitter. An extreme cat lover who is dependable and great with cats. He went beyond the call of duty during his last visit with her cat Maxie taking special care of her and bringing her soft food to help her eat. I would highly recommend Dominick!”
“Great pet sitter. My cat was always very happy to see him. He was great with communication and willing to go above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of. Will definitely use again when needed.”
“Excellent Cat Sitter!, I let my cat for 10 days with Wilson, he sent me videos and pictures every day, answered my questions always, I highly recommend him! Thank you very much Wilson !!”
“Diana is a wonderful and caring caregiver. She cared for my two cats for several days on two separate occasions, and both times she was prompt, accessible, and professional. She sent the cutest pics of my kitties and gave them the attention they craved. I definitely plan to hire her again and again!”
“Onece again Angelique did an amazing job. She gives such great care to our ladies and makes sure to not just feed them but to spend time with them, brush them and give them personal attention! Highly recommended!”
“I was so sad to leave my cat alone for the first time in years, and I can’t express what a godsend Selina was to me and him— she made the whole thing stress-free and easy!! I looked forward to her sweet updates and adorable pictures every day!! She took amazing care of him, and it was such a relief knowing he had a buddy checking in on him while I was gone. Would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.”
About: I bring attentive, knowledgeable care tailored to your specific creature and their specific personality. I've been pet parent to dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes to my current Sheepadoodle — there's no dog size or personality that's too much or too little, IMHO. And my experience extends well beyond dogs — cats, snakes, farm animals 🐐, and more. I also happen to share my home with a ball python named Fettuccine Alfredo 🐍, who is a distinguished, low-drama fellow. As a plant parent, I will watch after yours indoor jungles, outdoor gardens, that one fiddle leaf fig you're nervous about. If you need someone who will actually look at your monstera and not just splash water in its general direction, that's me. (My avocado tree, grown from a pit, is thriving. I'm not taking questions.) Housesitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, basic training — I've got you. And if you're going away and need the whole ecosystem looked after, pets, plants, and all, I'd love to meet you. Pet care fits naturally into the rhythm of my week. My mornings are consistently free, which works well for walks and drop-in visits, and I have flexibility on Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends for longer stays or housesitting. On days when I'm teaching in the afternoons and evenings, I'm still available in the mornings — and I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I'm never stretched too thin across clients. This isn't something I'm squeezing in around a packed schedule — it's something I've made genuine room for. When I'm in your home for drop-in visits or housesitting, I treat it with the same care and attention I'd give my own. That means following your routines exactly as you've set them, keeping things tidy, and making sure your pets are comfortable and unstressed in their own environment. I take detailed notes at meet-and-greets so nothing gets missed while you're away. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and attentive to their individual energy and needs — a reactive dog gets a very different walk than a social butterfly, and I know the difference. I bring over thirty years of animal experience to reading body language and behavior, so I'm not caught off guard by much. My own home includes a ball python and two cats, so I'm well practiced in managing a multi-species household safely and calmly. I don't offer boarding, which means your dog's visit to my home would only ever be for a meet-and-greet in a low-key, relaxed setting. In any situation that feels off — health, behavior, anything — I err on the side of contacting you immediately and getting to a vet if needed. You'll never be left guessing.
About: Experienced with senior and young cats, including strict feeding schedules. Provide loving overnight care, playtime, litter cleaning, and calm, reliable companionship while you’re away. I work full time Monday through Saturday, but still prioritize attentive overnight care, cuddles, playtime, and maintaining strict wet food feeding schedules for your kitty Trusted by the same client for three years, I prioritize safety, consistency, and communication, providing reliable, thoughtful care so you can feel completely confident while away.
“Michele was great! My cat, Piper, warmed up to her immediately, and Michele was very mindful of keeping Pipers schedule and routines. Would definitely book with her again”
About: I've had pets all my life, but within the last few years I've helped out with the pets of friends, family members, and roommates when they've traveled. This has included walking dogs of all sizes, taking them to the dog park for further activity, and the occasional house-sitting for a week or two at a time. I’m pretty adaptable and I’d be more than happy to work alongside you to make sure the needs of your pet are taken care of. while they’re in my care! I have relative flexibility and can be available for last minute drop ins if needed. I recently just finished getting my graduate degree while I apply for a full-time job. I’m free during the week during the days and have open availability on the weekends. If taking care of your dog, on walks I plan to leash them at all times as well as keeping a safe distance from any other animals we may come by.
“Anna-Laurie was a blessing, through and through. She took GREAT care of our two lil feline furballs— with excellent report cards that were so personal, thorough, and full of photos. She has an excellent personality to boot 👢Will 110% rebook with her in the future (and you should too).”
“Alice is a true cat whisperer. Although my senior boy was trying to control everything, Alice's calm demeanor and attentiveness are what both my kitties needed while I was away. My shy girl Kelli was extremely comfortable with Alice and that speaks volumes. Alice also kept my place tidy, went above and beyond, and she's very responsible. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Carmen is very caring and flexible. My shy kitty cats are getting less nervous with her gentle approach. I came home to a very clean kitty area and happy cats. Highly recommend.”
About: Hey! I’m Shaina, and I’m the kind of person who can’t resist saying hello to every dog or cat I meet. Animals have always had a special place in my heart, even though I haven’t been able to have one of my own just yet. That’s why I love caring for others’ pets, making sure they feel loved and looked after like they’re part of my family. Whether it’s cozy sleepovers, long walks, or playing their favorite games, I’m here to make your pet’s day brighter. Most animals warm up to me quickly, but if your fur baby needs time and space, I’ll give them all the patience they need to feel safe and comfortable. You can trust me to treat your pet with love, respect, and attention to their unique personality. Let’s create some special moments for your furry friend! Why Choose Me? I bring a unique blend of care, reliability, and understanding to every pet I look after. Here’s what you can expect: • A natural ability to bond with animals and earn their trust • Respect for your pet’s boundaries and individual personality • Attentive and observant care tailored to your pet’s needs • Dependability and punctuality—you can always count on me • Experience with walks, playtime, and overnight stays • Patience with shy or nervous animals, giving them space to feel safe • Quick learning of your pet’s routines and preferences • Gentle, compassionate care every step of the way • A calm, level-headed approach to unexpected situations • Clear, consistent communication to keep you at ease Your pet’s happiness and comfort are my top priorities. I am currently working part time so I have availability to help out on your journey. I do require a couple of days notice so that we can get to know each other and you can fill me in on all the needs that your pet may need. I am a freelance creative so at times I get booked up pretty quick and will not be able to book additional jobs…however,I will always inform you if something important comes up so that we are all on the same page. Communication is key. My home is a smoke free, child free home and a small apartment. I do not have any animals due to building requirements but I am allowed to host animals so that is a plus. My main goal is to make sure your fur child is comfortable with all needs met so I understand that this is a big concern for a lot of parents. All needs are not the same but if you communicate with me on exactly what is needed we can come to an agreement to make it happen. Safety, trust and communication is a big part of my routine.
About: I am a compassionate and kind animal lover who has 14 years of experience taking care of my own cats. I know how to care for and bond with your cat, no matter their age or temperament. I work full time, and can take care of your cat in the evenings by dropping by on weekdays for feedings and litter changing, or I can take care of your cat overnight from Friday night through Sunday Night. If you would like extra overnight care during the week, I can make arrangements for same given advance notice. I keep my own cat indoors, and I am always mindful of where he is in the home at all times, making sure he is not anywhere he should not be.
About: I spent four years fostering dogs, mostly large breeds, helping them settle in, build routines, and get ready for their forever homes. I’m confident and calm with big dogs, and patient with shy or anxious ones. I’ve also been a cat lover my entire life and understand that cats require things done their own way, with their own boundaries. At home I have my own foster fails, my dog Gene Gene, and my cat Kitty, so I know how much your pet means to you. I’m reliable, punctual, and detail oriented. I’ll follow your routine exactly and send photos and updates so you never have to wonder how things are going. I live in Upper Manhattan and love walking the neighborhood parks. I’d be happy to meet you and your pet before booking. I’m currently flexible, but prefer midday. I am near Fort Tryon Park and Inwood Hill Park. Let me know your pet’s preferred schedule. I take cat and dog care seriously. I see humans as guardians of our furry friends, and I will protect and guide yours like my own. Fierce nurturer!
About: I have 5 years of experience taking care of pets. I have 2 dogs and one cat. I like to play with them and take them for a walk I can take care of him from two to 4 hours a day 7 days a week play with them for a walk ….y n I can take care of the pet in my house or in the client's house as it is more comfortable for the client or the pet
About: My first ever working experience was walking a friend of my family’s dog when I was 13. I also have a pitbull named Brandy who is not the best behaved, so I feel like I can handle walking most dogs. I also grew up with a cat so I have experience with cats too. I am currently enrolled in university, so during weekdays I can only do pet care after my classes which is usually in the afternoon. On weekends however I am pretty available and open to overnight sitting. I will walk, feed, and play with pets based on owner’s instructions and make sure they’re okay throughout my time with them. If no instructions are given I’ll use my best judgement to make sure the pet is okay.

Mia did a phenomenal job taken care of my two kitties. Excellent communication, incredibly responsible, and followed the care instructions perfectly. Everything was perfect. Her love for animals is clear through her dedication to providing high quality care. Strongly recommended! Thank you Mia!
Our cats absolutely love Angelique! They are always so happy to have her visit and care for them. She is incredibly detailed and always sends us lots of photos. She also makes sure to spend a lot of time with them, playing, petting and generally giving them attention. Highly recommended!!!
Aisha is a great communicator and has taken care of our cat several times now. I love getting daily updates and cute photos. I feel comfortable going away and know that I can trust Aisha to provide excellent care and of course give lots of snuggles to Georgie. Thank you 😻
As always, Gwen was incredibly attentive to our two cats and went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable and well cared for while we were away on a long vacation. She even made thoughtful suggestions to improve their comfort and kept us updated throughout our trip. Gwen is extremely communicative, responsible, and dependable, and we always feel at ease knowing our cats are in her care.
Alexandria took care of my two kitties for 2 weeks while I was away. It was my first time using her and I was very nervous. However, when she came over to meet me and the kitties I was very impressed with her. She answered all of my concerns and had a lot of good questions of her own about my cats and their care. I felt very comfortable letting her into my home and taking care of my cats. I was not disappointed! She sent me detailed notes and photos every day, and my kitchen was as neat and clean as when I left. If you are looking for someone trustworthy and good with skittish cats, I HIGHLY recommend Alexandria!
Ayanna saved the day for us! We were halfway through a 2 week trip across the world when our original sitter became injured and was unable to continue looking after our cat. We had a crazy time difference and scrambled when we woke up to the messages from the original sitter, realizing our cat hadn’t been visited that day. I found Ayanna and she immediately accepted our extremely panicked last minute request. Within an hour or two, she grabbed the keys from the original sitter and went over to visit and feed our cat. She was a LIFESAVER and we felt so relieved. For the next week we got daily updates, pics, videos, and she kept the space tidy. I would highly recommend Ayanna to look after your pets!!!
Charlie took great care of our two kitties and made sure they got plenty of attention while we were gone. She sent lots of pics and left the apartment in spotless condition despite a few accidents from our guys. She was great at communicating and was very punctual. Would highly recommend!
Anna-Laurie was a blessing, through and through. She took GREAT care of our two lil feline furballs— with excellent report cards that were so personal, thorough, and full of photos. She has an excellent personality to boot 👢Will 110% rebook with her in the future (and you should too).

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 .
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 , 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 .

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 , 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.
