“Binta was a wonderful sitter for my Cleo! I appreciate how she took the time to get to know Cleo and wrote meaningful updates. Cleo is a shy, reserved girl but Binta was able to get through to her! I hope to book with Binta again in the future. Thanks for everything, Binta!!”

“Our young dog has separation anxiety, she screams and jumps at the door the entire time when we leave her alone. I'm so thankful we found Amanda so that we could have an evening out without worrying about what was happening at home. We loved getting updates and photos throughout the evening. The experience exceeded our expectations and we will use her again in the future.”
“Jennifer took excellent care of our cat while we were away on vacation. He is an older cat who takes multiple medications every day, which Jennifer took care of with ease. We knew he was in great hands, which brought us peace of mind while we were away. I’d recommend Jennifer’s services to anyone and everyone!”
“Leonore was consistent and reliable in caring for my cats while I was away! She communicated well throughout and made sure my shy cats were comfortable with her. I would definitely trust her to care for my cats again!”
About: The dog animal kingdom loves my gentle spirit. From the moment I have adopted and rescue from the Animal Care Center in the East Side of Manhattan and for 3 years taken well enough attentive care of Uni have results of having positive encounters with any meet puppies of dogs. My close circle friends and other pet owners recognize that the dogs smell my dog scent within my clothes and skin. I truthfully believe so because they so friendly wants to interact with me. I am mostly available to dog walk services throughout the weekdays and even so possibly on the weekends from late afternoon to evening hour timings I like to make sure my space is cozy, fairly clear enough, and safe for the dogs to stay and be able to move around while I baby sit them. I make sure the pets has or brought its adequate meals food and enough clean water, it’s playing toys or garments that keeps them comfortably cozy and at ease, it’s managed medications if necessary needed to be consume, make it has its playtime or nap time hours moment if is needed. Lastly, I love positively having conversations times to time with the dog and its owner to have a good rapport report status.
About: I’ve had the joy of being around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with both small and large breeds since I was a little girl. Caring for them is a lifelong passion for me. I love not only spending time with dogs but also training them, learning about their unique personalities, and making sure they feel happy, healthy, and understood. My goal as a sitter is to give each dog the same level of love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is thriving while you’re away. As a freelance artist, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to tailor my day around the needs of the pets I care for. My work in the arts gives me the freedom to be present for regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Because I can easily adjust my routine, I’m able to give each pet consistent attention and love. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or in a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are in a secure environment that they are free from hazards, with access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and plenty of safe play space. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, from feeding routines to exercise schedules, and keep a watchful eye on the pet’s behavior and well-being. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and ensure it’s kept tidy and secure. My goal is to provide both the pet and their owner with peace of mind, knowing they’re in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment.
“Patty is super friendly and was able to make it work in short notice. Our baby boy loved the company. He's a 4 month old puppy learning and she was patient with him, he had a great time!”
“Lili took care of our cat, Mishmish, while we were on vacation. She followed instructions to the T, and our elderly cat, who is usually pretty lethargic and not overly friendly, warmed up to her. We came back to clean litter box, swept floors, and our cat having fresh water and food. We will absolutely work with Lili again when we travel for extended period of time, and highly recommend her to any pet owner.”
“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.”

About: I have grown up around animals, my whole life and some might argue that I like them more than people. Although I haven’t been a part of a professional dog walking service, I started walking dogs for a couple neighbors and a friend during the pandemic. With the experience that I’ve gained, I can confidently say that I have a lot of patience especially when working with puppies. I also have learned to keep a keen eye out for dogs that enjoy nibbling on things they have found on the sidewalk. I would love to start walking dogs on a consistent basis. I am a college student, so I have most of my time set for evenings and nights, but I am more than happy to schedule an earlier, walk in advance. I have no problem with walking in all types of weather, and if you have a dog that has a fear of thunder, I am more than happy to sit with them and calm them down. additionally, as of July 15, I will have availability to walk during the day and at night as well. When picking your dog up from your home, as well as dropping them off, I will make sure that I follow all the instructions that are given to me to ensure your pet’s safety
“⸻ Let me just say—after my first two dog sitters, I almost gave up on this app 🙂. But I’m so glad I found Victor. He is incredibly kind and truly cares. My dog absolutely loves him—he wags his tail and gets just as excited to see Victor as he does to see me, which says everything. Victor is also very reliable. He doesn’t just stick to the exact booked time or show up late like others. He often arrives a few minutes early and sometimes stays a little longer, which I really appreciate. It shows how genuine and dedicated he is. I also have a camera at home, since my dog can’t tell me about his day—and it’s clear that Victor treats him with care and attention. That gives me a lot of peace of mind. He will definitely be my to-go dog sitter moving forward!”
About: I've been around animals my entire life, so caring for dogs comes naturally to me. While I don't currently have a pet of my own, I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and giving them the care, attention, and love they deserve. I'm very active and love sports, so I'm always happy to take dogs on long walks, runs, or outdoor adventures if they enjoy being active too. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give each pup plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and companionship. Whether it's playtime, exploring the neighborhood, or simply keeping them company, I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my day. I'm available for walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the morning, between meetings, and in the afternoon. Your pup will have regular companionship and won't be left alone for long periods. Whether I'm caring for your dog in my home or yours, their comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. Since I live in a cozy apartment, your pup will always be nearby and well supervised throughout the day. I'll make sure they have constant access to fresh water, are fed according to your instructions, and get plenty of bathroom breaks and exercise. I also believe in building trust through patience, positive reinforcement, and, with your permission, the occasional treat. If your pup enjoys affection, they'll get lots of cuddles and attention at their own pace. I always pay close attention to their behavior and body language to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

Vanessa has cared for my kitty, Boo, many times. This time, she came out to care for him in terrible weather: 100-degree heat and downpours. Always on time, reliable, and communicative, Vanessa takes detailed notes and lots of pictures, which keep me informed of how Boo is doing. I have complete peace of mind that my kitty is well cared for while I am away. I highly recommend Vanessa to care for your prt.
Bryant was great with our two cats! During drop-in visits, he made sure the cats were fed and water refilled, checked to make sure the litter robot was working, and played with their lazer pointer with them (which is our cats’ favorite thing to do😁). Communication was great the whole time. Would definitely book with Bryant again!
Ariel is incredibly reliable. She loves cats and they clearly love her. I was worried my old lady wouldn't accept medication from a stranger, but Ariel charmed her instantly. We got timely notifications of every drop by, with beautiful writeups that made us confident we left our girl in good hands.
Leta has been a god send for us! She has taken care of our cat for about 6 months now and I don’t know what we would do without her. Incredibly responsive and flexible, always takes great care of our cat, and is communicative throughout her stay. Takes great pics and detailed report cards too! On several occasions I’ve changed plans on a dime and Leta has always been very understanding and accommodative. Thanks Leta!
First time Lindsay babysat my two fur babies. She was a great communicator in all ways - and Mingus and Jacques agreed based on all the photos sitting on her lap and generally looking very chill and happy. Apartment was spotless upon returning home. Lindsay is a mature and trustworthy catsitter and I highly recommend her!
Emma is wonderful! She is sooo communicative and her updates are so detailed and really put a pet parent’s mind at ease. We have 2 cats that are not yet fully integrated and she handled the situation so well, giving both cats love and attention! She was also so patient with our shy kitty! We will certainly book with Emma again :)

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
