“Kristen was a delight from the start. She is so sweet and kind. She took care of my cat for a weekend, not only feeding him, but she also administered medication, cleaned the litter box and spent some time with him. I would totally recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a cat sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her next time I will be out of town 😁”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of breeds and personalities. I was raised with a Yellow Lab, Beagle, and German Shepherd, which gave me a strong foundation in dog behavior, exercise needs, and daily care. I currently have a 7-year-old Siberian Husky, so I’m very comfortable with high-energy dogs, long walks, and structured routines. I also care for a 4-year-old rabbit, giving me experience with smaller pets and their unique needs. In addition, I regularly walk and help care for my friends’ dogs while they’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize safety, patience, and attentive care. I currently work as a Physician Assistant- so I have an atypical schedule leaving me with availability on weekends, Mondays, and Tuesdays to care for your pets. I can provide walks, drop in visits, and feeding. I also have ability stay for extended hours if you are traveling or going away a for a long weekend. I currently work as a physician assistant so I have an atypical work schedule. I am available weekends, Mondays, and Tuesdays. Perfect for drop ins or walks when traveling, taking a long weekend, or going into the office I focus on maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all feeding and walking schedules and other care preferences exactly as provided. I make sure pets get appropriate exercise, playtime, and affection based on their personality and energy level. I keep the home tidy, ensure fresh water is always available, and monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior or health. I also provide regular updates and photos to owners so they feel comfortable and connected while they’re away
“Casey is the best! We were away for two weeks and she stopped by to feed and play with our cat Oliver every day. He really enjoyed the company and she’d send photos every day. Thank you Casey!”
About: I have been a in-home pet sitter for the past six years for a medium size dog who had special needs as a puppy. I also am a pet photographer and have done pet portraits and holiday cards! I recently lost my beloved dog Zoey, who I had for over 12 years. I love dogs deeply, and welcome them into my home. I am available on a part time basis with more availability during the summer months. Weekends are ideal but I can be available after 5pm on weekdays or early morning. I live in a pet friendly apartment building, in a dog friendly neighborhood! My apartment is in the smaller side but dog and cat safe!
“Kenny is great with our puppy. Ozzy loves when Kenny comes to visit and Kenny is super attentive to his needs and is working with him on good behaviors too! We are so happy we have found Kenny to help us with our puppy. Thank you!”
“Lisa was absolutely wonderful. She left fun, detailed notes after each visit and was incredibly diligent and thoughtful in caring for our cats. She connected with both of them so naturally—you can tell she truly understands and loves animals. We especially appreciated the photos and videos she sent; they brought us so much comfort while we were traveling and made us feel totally at ease. Her communication, kindness, and attention to detail truly set her apart. Hands down, Lisa is one of the best sitters we’ve ever had. We highly recommend her!”
About: I have grown up with animals all my life! Constantly surrounded by animals since a child I have great experience with walking, feeding, playing, etc. ! I am a person who cares so deeply for animals and want nothing but the best for your furry little friend! I currently work full time, but am home by 4 on the weekdays and mostly free on the weekends! Starting the 26th, I am off for summer vacation so my schedule will become very flexible and I can tend to more needs! I am very good with pets and offer a trusting personality for them. I am well equipped to handle many situations including safety, crating, and will not let them out of my sight!
“Becky looked after my cat Klover on Christmas and was nothing but kind, sweet and attentive. Typical cat behavior, Klover doesn’t usually greet people but was out and about when Becky was there. I definitely recommend her as a sitter!”
About: While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have lived with and cared for plenty. Caring for them taught me the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and paying attention to a dog’s individual needs and personality. What sets me apart is that I’ll treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m dependable, active, and genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors, so whether your dog prefers a leisurely stroll or a more energetic walk, I’ll make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m excited to build lasting relationships with both pets and their owners by being reliable, communicative, and providing safe, loving care every time. I am flexible and available through out the day Mondays Fridays and Weekends as well as most week nights. Can always move things around if need be. I live in a large house in Long Beach New York, with plenty of room inside, as well as the beach to accommodate any dog.
“Karla was great and we can't thank her enough for taking great care of our cats on short notice. The cats are usually extremely shy around new people and will hide when they come in to the house. But they warmed up to Karla quickly and we got lots of pictures of happy cats being played with and entertained. A+++”
About: There have always been animals in my house, and I truly like them more than people! I have watched/walked many animals over the years. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, so I have lots of experience As a teacher, I have an incredibly flexible schedule during the summer months and am completely free throughout the day for drop ins and walks! I also dedicate regular time to volunteering at the animal shelter, meaning animal care is already a seamless, rewarding part of my daily and weekly routine. Every home visit centers entirely on keeping your pet safe, happy, and comfortable in their own familiar environment. For cats, a standard visit includes scooping the litter box, refreshing their water bowl, and feeding fresh food exactly according to your instructions. Beyond the basics, I dedicate the rest of the visit to active engagement. If your cat is playful, I will break out the laser pointers and wand toys. If they are shy or anxious, I utilize my shelter socialization skills… giving them plenty of quiet space, reading their body language, and simply sitting nearby so they feel secure. I also respect your home by keeping pet areas clean and double-checking that all doors and locks are completely secure before I leave. You will always receive detailed updates and plenty of phot

“Alex was amazing! He was a total professional from the start. We had no issues with Communication, he was always prompt with his responses. He went above and beyond with his care of our dog Lily! He was able to help our skittish pup get out of her shell. He sent updates daily while we were away which helped our separation anxiety. I would 100% recommend Alex!”

I couldn’t be happier with the care my two cats received! From the very beginning, Lisa was reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Each of my cats has a different personality, and Lisa took the time to make both of them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I came home to two happy, relaxed cats and everything was just as I left it. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and professional cat sitter! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my fur babies!
My second time hiring Kristen, she is great with my cat and he is a high-maintenance guy 🤣 she is so patient and caring 💜 and I appreciate her also spending time to hangout with him while I'm gone and so grateful she has no problems administering necessary medications. Will definitely continue to hire Kristen in the future and highly recommend her!
Marissa watched our cat for one week and she is amazing! This was our first experience with Rover and it couldn’t have gone better. If you’re on here and you’re not sure who to reach out to, reach out to Marissa! She is responsible, trustworthy and kind. We did an initial meet and greet at my house, and she asked great questions about my cat’s care that even I didn’t think about. She arrived at the same time everyday and sent me the cutest pictures of him. They clearly bonded. Marissa also works in the veterinary field which is great. I will definitely book her again during future trips!
Stephanie took great care of my two cats, Oreo and Nala, while I was away. She followed all of my instructions and made sure their routines were kept consistent, which I really appreciated. Oreo is a social butterfly and enjoyed her company right away. What impressed me most was seeing my shy girl Nala slowly come out of her shell. By the last couple of visits she was rubbing against Stephanie and even allowing pets, which is a big deal for her. That alone speaks volumes to me. Stephanie also shared photos during the visits and kept things running smoothly while I was gone. I’m grateful that I was able to relax on my trip knowing my cats were being looked after, and came home to two happy kitties. Thank you again, Stephanie! 🐱
I have to say I was so nervous leaving my boys !! But then I met Janelle and my cats adored her … She took care of all their needs and made sure they were well looked after sending me messages and pictures it was a great experience and will use her in the future .. Timmy and Acey thank you !!
Angela was the best cat sitter we could have ever found. From the moment I requested to book, she was communicative and friendly. She came by the same day for a meet and greet and was so friendly to our little Laszlo. My boyfriend and I knew instantly that we would hire her. This is our first pet together and he’s a little baby so we were really worried to leave him for such a long time. Angela reassured us and made us feel comfortable way before our trip. We booked Angela for a daily drop in and she provided Laszlo with food, water and a litter box change. She gave Laszlo lots of cuddles and play time & provided us with live updates and photos. She also watered our plants and made sure to check in if we needed anything else. She instantly fell in love with Laszlo and gave him such great care and attention. It’s unfortunate that she lives in Brazil 8 months out of the year but we will 100% be using her again when she comes back. Angela is also a really outgoing person so I think I have just found a new friend! 100000/10. Best cat sitter ever!
Nicole was excellent—punctual and clearly took care to follow all of the instructions. She came for a dog check in, feeding, and dog walk and documented the entire thing with texts and photos in real time, which is really assuring whenever someone is in your home when you are not. My puppy seemed to love her—she did all of her business—and everything was left in the same condition as before. Would definitely recommend and will use in the future.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Island Park stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
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.
