“I’ve booked Alexandria twice now and hope to do so more in the future- what can I say, I feel secure and confident in her services. She's reliable and warm, so food with my beast. Super knowledgeable about cat behavior and full on helpful advice; thank you, Ali!”
About: I enjoy creating a special bond with dogs and cats, always going beyond walking, feeding, and keeping them company. I am committed to not disrupting current schedules while providing extra enrichment and giving your baby another human to trust. It is important to me that everyone leaves better because of that trust and time spent, including myself. Special skills include long term care, caring for 3+ animals, puppy training, medication administration (including cbd), senior care, caring for anxious animals, as well as reptile care (I am a reptile parent). I work freelance, giving me full control of my weekly schedule. Pet care seamlessly fits into my routine because it is already a part of my routine, I have been in pet care consistently for 6 years. I also must be walked daily, and enjoy taking those walks in different neighborhoods with different companions. I prefer to care for pets in spaces where they feel comfortable and safe, their home. While I am in your home I am always respectful and clean. It is important to me that I have an understanding of house rules, your pets schedule, and emergency contacts including their vet.
“Dominick is the most conscientious sitter we ever had. Our 16-year-old cat is ill and on medication, but we had to leave her for 3 days for a family wedding. I never would have if not for Dominick. We trust him completely and he was there for her and more. He administered her steroid, sent photos, and even offered to spend extra time with her for our piece of mind. I strongly recommend him if you are in need of a cat sitter.”
“Jonathan was great! He took extremely good care of my cats when I was away. He sent a ton of cute pictures and ensured everything was in working order. Highly recommended!”
About: Every dog is different, and I love getting to know each dog’s personality and preferences. I’m mostly familiar with cats and big dogs, but I like small dogs too! I’m available to petsit in your home, check in on your pets, or walk your dog. I’ve always had pets, so I understand how they are part of your family and will provide high quality services that keep your pets safe and happy. From taking the time to make sure a timid cat is comfortable around me to safely handling a large dog on a walk around the neighborhood, I will always do what it takes to build a rapport with your pet and make sure they are safe and enjoy the time spent in my care. I’m a full-time master’s student and am looking for pet care jobs that I can fit into my schedule most days of the week, including weekends. I’m happy to provide food and water as instructed by the client and any other specifications as well (litter cleaning, play time, etc) and am attentive to any details about safety the owner mentions.
“Jennifer was responsive, thorough, and very very kind! My cat loved hanging out with her and she was very happy to help in anyway. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Draco was looking comfortable and happy in his carrier when I went to pick him up, I can always tell how the stay went by his attitude at pick up and he was calm as if he didn't want to leave. He didn't meow or anything on the way home, his attitude said it all! When texted for updates Wilson was always responsive and quick to offer solutions to problems, ie how I could get my cat to him on less than 2 hours notice. Love that he was open to short notice booking and super flexible with working around both our schedules! Appreciated that I was able to find Draco care I could trust in such a short amount of time!”
“Laudianny was the perfect sitter for my most precious possession Ted! She provided daily updates and it seemed like he got comfortable quickly. Within a day he was making biscuits with her so i know he was well cared for!”
“Binta took care of our three cats while we were away for ten days - I can't say enough positive things about our experience with her! She is thoughtful, generous, and extremely professional. She was through in her care, diligent in administering medication, and worked hard to make sure they were well cared for. She asked questions when needed, and took extra time to clean up the apartment before we returned. We had recently moved into a new apartment and she even took the time to train our cats to each eat from their respective bowls! It was a pleasure having her take care of our family while we were away - and we looked forward to her detailed updates. I would wholeheartedly recommend her for pet care and look forward to working with her in the future!”
“Emily was so great with my two cats! She kept me fully informed of when she was coming, what she did doing her stay, and when she left. It was my first time using Rover, and she did everything possible to make me feel comfortable about leaving my home and cats with in her care. You can also tell she loves cats and is super respectful to their wants and needs as well as the owner’s! She was super easy and friendly to work with and I would totally book again if needed.”
“Jessica was amazing with my cat! She sent plenty of photos that reassured me for my first multi day trip away from my kitty. Every instruction was followed to a t and I felt secure knowing that my cat was in great hands. Thank you Jessica!”
“Once again a great experience with Samantha! She looked after my cats over the holidays and even left them some gifts!! I always feel so comforted knowing she's looking after them. Cannot recommend enough.”
“Amazing! Immediately our cat felt so comfortable with her and she kept me up to date with pictures and info frequently! 10/10 will be using her boarding services again!!!”
“Tosha was AMAZING with my cat Éowyn! Sent lots of great pictures, responded quickly to any questions I had, went above and beyond to take care of everything. Look forward to booking her again in the future!”
“Brionna is AMAZING! I have a 2 year old cat that I recently adopted and was nervous as this was the first time I would ever be away from my kitty but Brionna’s calm and kind demeanor quickly put me at ease! She was so communicative leading up to the visit and throughout. Her daily photos and remarks let me know that Tortellini was safe, cared for and comfortable! Highly recommend and I’ll definitely be asking her to take care of Tortellini again :)”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Inwood
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).
Emily was a great drop-in sitter for my 2 cats for 11 days. She responded quickly to my initial request that she was available. Emily came by my apartment to meet the cats and go over their care before the scheduled visits. She checked in daily and provided pictures. I wouldn't hesitate to have Emily care for my cats again.
Kristal was AMAZING! She went above and beyond, locating an Amazon package with litter and food delivered to the wrong apartment. She took wonderful pictures that really put us at ease! She also got our very shy cats to say hello and took great care of our chickens!!

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 .

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.
