“We left our 5 month old kitten with Amber and he had the time of his life. Amber is so caring and wonderful. She kept us updated every day on how he was doing, sent us lots of photos and videos. If you want a great pet sitter, Amber is definitely it!!”

“Kara-Ann took wonderful care of our cat, Bernie, while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure Bernie was comfortable and well cared for. We really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Bernie warmed up to her quickly, which says a lot! We would absolutely book with Kara-Ann again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”

“All these reviews are well deserved. Kerry took fantastic care of my two cats. Very caring and sweet. The daily photo updates were extremely kind and the cats enjoyed her company. Will most certainly request Kerry again for future sitting gigs.”

About: Since I was 4 years old we had dogs at home, a boxer mix and a poodle. Later on when I was 15 my mom got a pug, and then another one while my sister got a big pit mix with special needs. And 7 years ago I adopted a dog of my own, a 60lb hound mix, who's the light of my day. I've walked all the dogs in my family, and taken care of them when needed. With my own dog, I do everything for him, from baths, playtime, walks, roadtrips, cuddle and I love him, his medical care is up to date and I always make sure he's happy and healthy. I've also watched over friends dogs and cats, and follow all the rules I've been given, every dog ans cat is different and unique and deserves the same respect and care. I am available weekdays after 5:30pm (except for Tuesdays) Weekends I'm usually available, I can be flexible with my plans. I do update my schedule regularly. I cannot dog sit in my home. But I will love to walk your dog(s) in your neighborhood, take them on a hike, take them on drives, as well as staying over for a few hours. I'll follow your rules with no problem and I'll give my outmust attention, respect and love to your dog(s). Meet and greets would be preferable. As well as letting me know of any health or behavioral concerns your dog(s) might have so I can give individualized care.

About: I've always been an animal lover and grew up in Suffolk county caring dogs, chickens, quail and rodents! I'm the go-to pet care person for my friends and family and would love the opportunity to care for your pets! I'm a former volunteer of Save-A-Pet in Port Jeff Station where I cared for dozens of cats every weekend. I have experience with animals of all ages. I am comfortable dispensing medication for aging or ill pets. I've also cared for puppies and have even assisted in delivering a litter of goldendoodles! My pets are always a part of the family and I'd treat yours the same way! I'm currently a contractor worker for animation and advertising. Because my work is project and delivery based my schedule is flexible. I care for pets during the day and do my contract work in the late evenings so I'll have plenty of time to devote to your pets. I treat all animals with the care I would show to my own pets. I take care instructions seriously and respect each animals needs and preferences to ensure their comfort and safety.
“Elena was wonderful with taking care of my three cats. She was caring, responsive, and followed my annoying directions perfectly! I’m looking forward to having Elena again for the future.”

About: My background in canine care began at the Little Shelter Animal Adoption Center in Huntington, NY in 2008. I was employed there for several years as a dog walker and socializer, working with a wide variety of dogs and puppies from many different walks of life. All of the dogs were rescues, and so special care needed to be provided, with exercise, playtime, feeding, and even medication distribution. After working at the shelter, I found myself at a few local grooming parlors, working as a bather. As you've probably experienced, most dogs do not love being bathed and groomed, and so I would try my very best to make them comfortable in the unfamiliar situation they were in, taking the time to check in on them frequently and give them lots of reassurance and loving. Patience goes a long way! In January of 2015 I had my first two-month long house and pet sitting job. However, since then I've been working a full time office job and have been unable to enjoy much time with canine companions. I will regularly pet sit for close friends and family, but I'm ready to spend more time around furry friends! I'd love to meet you and your pup and ensure that they're properly taken care of and loved while you're out on the weekend, working, or away on vacation! I'm currently working part-time, with a very flexible schedule, so there's a good chance I'll be able to accommodate your scheduling needs! Reach out to me with any questions. I have two cats at who are cautious of other animals, so I'm happy to care for your pet in your home! I'd love to learn about your pet's routine and preferences to provide them the best care possible.
“Sam is amazing and highly recommend her to take care of your pets! She took care of our cat while we were away and we couldn’t be more grateful. She was super nice, professional and made us feel totally comfortable that our cat was well taken care of while we were away. Thanks Sam!”

“Janelle was absolutely amazing with my two cats! They're on strict feeding/med schedules and she followed all of my instructions perfectly. She played with the boys and sent some adorable pictures. I just moved to the area and I think I found my new pet sitter!!”

Staci took excellent care of my 19-year-old cat who has CKD and special needs. I left an extensive sheet of instructions for her and she followed them all. She is always on time. Wonderful communication with cute photos. She's a great photographer! I would highly recommend any pet owner to any pet owner. You can trust her to give your pet the best care! I will be a repeat customer.

Molly is prompt, kind and a true cat lover. She was sensitive to my needs as well as Priscilla’s. This was important to me because it was my first time having a cat sitter. She is flexible and willing to accommodate small changes in the schedule. I would definitely hire her again.

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.

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 .
