“Michele was very attentive to my cat's needs, and did a wonderful job of making my pet feel comfortable and cared for on a simple check in visit. I would definitely rebook.”
“I’ve used Victoria several times now, and she is always wonderful. She takes great care of my cats, following all instructions perfectly and giving updates that really put my mind at ease. This time, my cat wasn’t feeling well and had thrown up, but everything was cleaned up beautifully and handled with so much care. I’m always grateful for the reliable, thoughtful service. Highly recommended!”

“I found Kerry on Rover app after reading all her positive reviews and she responded to my request right away to provide in home care for my senior kitty. She was a great communicator an gave me updates and pictures during her 3 evenings with Samson.

About: I have been an animal lover since I was a little girl. I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life and have experience with feeding, walking, and playing with fur babies of all ages. I am currently in my clinical year of PA school. Unfortunately, I don’t have a set schedule as every few weeks my rotation changes and I get a new schedule. However, I am usually free on weekends and am willing to get up early or stay up late any day of the week to care for your pets. I have a large fenced in yard. I also have 1 dog at home who is very friendly as well as two cats who are shy and are usually hiding, but don’t mind other animals.
About: I have been caring for a large variety of animals since I was 13, including dogs, cats, reptiles and small mammals. I have worked in various pet care positions including wildlife rehabilitation, animal educator, and pet care specialist. I have done volunteer work with local shelters and rehabilitation centers since I could work. I am known within my community as the "animal girl" and am frequently contacted for advice, care, and pet sitting. I am fairly new to this app, but am definitely not new to caring for any kind of animal big or small. I currently work at Stony Brook University mon-fri 9am-1pm. The rest of my days are usually open and able to be moved around to your schedule and needs! I currently do not offer services in my home as I have a dog who takes a while to warm up to strangers. Future opportunities may be available, but right now I am prioritizing her comfortability.
“I had the absolute best experience with Lindsay K. and can't recommend her enough to anyone who needs pet sitting services! She took care of my two cats for a week while I was in the process of moving, and from the very start (booking on the app) she made everything so easy and completely stress-free. She was incredibly communicative, flexible, and accommodating with scheduling - which I really appreciated while things were a little hectic on my end. She sent me at least three updates a day, complete with photos and little notes about how they were doing, what they were up to, and how they were eating and behaving. It was so reassuring and honestly a huge relief to know they were being so well looked after. One of my cats acts like she owns the place (any place) and the other is pretty shy and takes a while to warm up to new people. Lindsay easily accommodated their individual personality preferences and silly sibling dynamic so that both cats were clearly getting lots of love and attention every day. She was so patient, kind, and gentle with my scaredy cat that he warmed up quickly and was comfortable and happy in her care. It’s not easy to find someone like Lindsay who is not only reliable and professional, but also genuinely thoughtful and caring when it comes to bonding with pets. I felt completely at ease leaving my cats in her care, and was happy to bring home two very content and well-cared-for kitties. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, look no further — she’s the best! 100/10 stars and would 100% book again the next time I need a cat sitter!”
“Sam took great care of my cat Elsa while I was away. She gave her the medicine she needed and made sure she ate. Her litter box was clean and I enjoyed the pictures of Elsa every day.”
“Great with our pups!”
About: Growing up, animals were always more than just pets—they were cherished members of the family. From a young age, I was surrounded by dogs and cats, each one showered with love and attention as though they were siblings. Whether it was a wagging tail or a purring cat curled up on the couch, I’ve always had a natural connection to animals, fawning over them and giving them the care they deserve. As I got older, I didn’t just care for my own pets—I was the go-to person for friends and family when they needed help. Whether it was feeding, walking, or just providing companionship, I loved looking after their animals as if they were my own. It was a joy to be there for their pets, whether it was a quick visit or a longer stay. I also had the rewarding experience of fostering dogs. It was incredibly fulfilling to provide a temporary home, offer love and stability, and then see them transition to a new family. Each fostering experience taught me more about patience, adaptability, and the diverse needs of different pets. Currently, I’m a proud owner of two wonderful cats who are like family to me. My commitment to their well-being is unwavering, and it’s this same dedication I bring to every animal I care for. Whether it’s a dog, cat, or anything in between, I understand the importance of personalized care, and I treat each pet with the same level of love and respect as I would my own family members. In every role, from fostering to pet-sitting, I’ve always believed that the best care comes from the heart. "I currently work part-time, which allows me to offer flexible scheduling and be available for pet visits at a variety of times throughout the day. The only exception is between 3-6 PM, as I have prior commitments during that window. Other than that, I’m happy to accommodate visits at times that work best for you and your pet, whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends. Your pet’s care and comfort are my top priority, and I’m excited to work with you to find a schedule that fits your needs! When I visit your pet, my goal is to provide them with the same care and attention they would receive from you. During my pop-in visits, I’ll ensure that their basic needs are met, including feeding them, letting them out for bathroom breaks, and giving them the necessary playtime and affection. I always make sure to check that they are safe and secure while on walks, keeping a close eye on their surroundings and any potential hazards. I believe in treating your pet like family, so I’ll make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and well-cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just a calm moment to unwind, I’m here to make sure they have the best care possible.
“Tricia was wonderful with our 2 cats. We were away for a weekend for our daughter’s wedding so we needed someone that would care for them like we would. Tricia did that & more. It was wonderful to not have to worry about our fur babies while we were celebrating our human baby. Thank you Tricia!”
About: I have a lot of experience with dogs and only a few with cats but i love both and i am very excited to spend some time with your pets! Available all business days before 10am and after 2:30! If you have something outside of that, let me know and I can try and figure something out! I typically can’t care for pets in my home because I dorm at Eastern University, but in your home, my priority would be the animals well being and also your homes cleanliness.
“This was out first time using Gabby and she was wonderful. Marley seemed to have a great time and it was obvious that he was well care for during his visit.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand the special bond between dogs and their owners, and I’m committed to providing your dog with the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime in the yard, or snuggle sessions on the couch, I focus on keeping your dog happy, healthy, and well-cared for. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and breeds, and I tailor my care to meet each dog’s unique energy level and needs. From feeding routines to maintaining training consistency, I ensure your dog feels secure and comfortable in your absence. With me, your dog will enjoy the care and companionship they need, so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands! As a hairstylist with a flexible schedule, I have the perfect balance of availability and passion for animals to provide exceptional care for your pets. I offer pet sitting services right in the comfort of your home, ensuring your pets feel safe, relaxed, and well-cared for in their familiar environment. Whether you’re away for a short trip or a longer vacation, I can take care of your pet’s daily needs—feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, and of course, lots of love and attention. I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their own space, and I’ll keep their routine consistent to minimize stress. From checking in on them during the day to overnight stays, I can provide the care your pet needs while you’re away, all without them having to leave home!
“Jamie was great and Jeff loved his walk with her. She was friendly and caring. Jeff can’t wait for his next visit. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I have been caring for animals most of my life, starting with the family cat I grew up with and the two dogs I helped raise and care for over 6 years. In addition to my own pets, I have years of experience pet sitting for my neighbors, which often included me caring for their dogs for weeks at a time and overnight stays. In college, I co-adopted an ESA cat, and now post graduate am helping care for a high energy puppy and lower energy cat. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or both, I’d love to help give your pet the same affection and attention I’d give my own! I currently work anywhere between 20-30 hours a week, and my schedule changes from week to week so it is a bit hard to dictate a set availability. The hours i typically work range from anywhere between 9am-10pm, and my shifts are typically anywhere between 2-8 hours. I would love to take up pet sitting on my time away from work, both on my days off and before/after my shifts! WORK SCHEDULE: Monday 07/21: OFF Tuesday 07/22: 4:00pm-8:00pm Wednesday 07/23: OFF Thursday 07/24: OFF Friday 07/25: 9:30am-1:30pm Saturday 07/26: OFF Sunday 07/27: 11:00am-8:00pm While caring for pets in my client’s home, I will focus on maintaining their routine while ensuring all needs are met. I follow instructions carefully, be it feeding times, walking schedules/routes, medication management, or any special quirks your pet may have. My goal is to make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them the attention they’re used to, whether that’s quiet companionship or active playtime. I can also keep you updated with messages, photos, and videos!

Islandia cat parents share their Rover experiences
Samantha came thru for me last minute. She is reliable and always sends pictures of my cats to ease the concern. I will be using her again in the near future.
Sarah was great at stopping by and caring for my two cats. I almost think to good, my cats didn't seem to miss me when I got back. Sarah sent photos and spent time with them so they didn't feel neglected. Sarah also went above and beyond by shoveling snow! It snowed while I was away and Sarah cleared the walk way and some of the driveway. Plus she also let the cats have some outdoor time in the snow (they are indoor/outdoor cats so it was good that they got some outdoor time while I was away so things seemed normal).
