“Christopher writes wonderful descriptive narrative of his stay and interactions with our pet. He is very patient and kind especially since our pet is shy and yet very loving. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter.”
“Zexin took amazing care of our kitties and garden while we were traveling for the holiday weekend. She was timely, courteous, and very thoughtful with her updates. We would love to book with Zexin in the future and highly recommend her for catsits!”
“Katherine always does an amazing job with Sylvester and Sebastian, when I am traveling out of the country. She has taken great care of them on my last 6 trips and will be using her again in the coming months, when I head back to Mexico City.”
About: I have always been surrounded by dogs and cats and I thoroughly enjoy being in their company. I have an immense love for animals and find great joy in spending time with them. I am currently taking online classes, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I am able to dedicate plenty of time to spending quality time with your best friends. I have veterinary experience from working at an animal hospital, which has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. I am detailed oriented and thrive on following directions precisely to ensure the best possible care for your furry friends.
“Thank you so much for taking care of Irie over the holidays!! I loved receiving many photos and he was SOO kind and friendly throughout the process and accommodating on time. Will absolutely reccomend to friends and book again!! Thank you!!”

About: Hello for starters I'm a guy who loves doing cardio which comes hand to hand with dog walking. I can go hours and hours without getting tired. I own a dog myself (shitzu mix). Im a punctual man as well as man who loves to hiking . I’m very attentive and alert of my surroundings. I’ve walked numerous dogs all different breeds and sizes . I can walk up to 3 dogs. When walking a dog I tend to avoid other dogs and walk at their pace . I make sure to give a ton of updates of the dog walk to the owner. Currently walk three shitzus (same owner) Monday-Friday .
“Rose is the ABSOLUTE best!! She took care of my susu and made her feel very comfortable and happy! I would 100% recommend her to anyone who wants their fur baby to be in good hands. She gave her her medicine, changed her litter, made sure she had food and water and even maintained her morning routine and spent quality time with her. Can’t say enough about how much of a jem Rose is!”
“Ashley did a wonderful job with our high maintenance kitties! One of them had recently had a surgery and was still in a cone and it didn't seem to phase Ashley one bit. We came home to two well cared for and happy fur babies. Ashley was a great communicator and we felt confident the entire time we were away from home. Definitely recommend and would book Ashley again to care for our little sweeties.”
“Jose was very communicative and took great care of our animals, even coming beforehand to meet them and make sure we all would be comfortable with the agreement. We will definitely be requesting again!”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was 16. I had 2 cats and a dog from the age of 4. I had 3 dogs as a child and teenager. I take care of my parents 10 year old Pomeranian dog, Buddy. He is my favourite and I have so much fun playing with him and taking him for walks. I regularly take care of my friends' cats and dogs of all ages. I don't own any pets but I hope to some day. I'm very patient, kind and caring. I have a lot of patience with kittens, puppies and older dogs and cats. I like to meet in person or a video call before working with a client to ensure it's the right fit. I work from home and have a lot of free time to walk, feed & play with dogs and cats. I love pet sitting! I always look forward to taking care of pets. I live in a large 1 bedroom apartment with lots of room for a pet to walk around, play and rest. My apartment is safe, on the 2nd floor with no outdoor space but I'm close to a park. I am happy to go to the clients home too.
“Julie was willing to come over for a meet and greet on her own time before walking our dog, Posie, and has been incredibly reliable and communicative every time she's worked for us since. She follows instructions carefully and always send updates and photos. Posie loves her! Highly recommended.”
About: Hi, I’m a pet sitter based in New York City offering calm, attentive, and highly reliable in-home pet care. I provide a steady, low stress presence for pets who thrive on routine, familiarity, and gentle attention while their owners are away. My approach is quiet, consistent, and detail-oriented, focused on maintaining your pet’s normal rhythm so they feel secure in their own environment. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats of varying temperaments, including pets who are shy, sensitive, or accustomed to more structured care. I take time to understand each pet’s behavior, preferences, and routine so care feels seamless and familiar. Clients can expect clear communication, timely updates, and thoughtfully documented check-ins with photos so you always feel connected and informed while traveling. I also take great care in respecting your home. Maintaining a clean, orderly space and ensuring everything is exactly as you left it. Whether you need overnight care, drop-ins, or extended stays, my goal is simple: your pet remains comfortable, your home remains respected, and you travel without concern. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter. I can't wait to meet you and your beloved pets! Warm regards, Nellie I offer flexible availability for morning, midday, afternoon, and evening drop-in visits for both cats and dogs, as well as weekend care and select overnight stays. I’m also available for last minute bookings when possible and respond quickly to messages to keep scheduling simple and reliable. My goal is to provide steady, dependable care that fits your pet’s routine and your travel plans. I prioritize a safe, calm, and consistent environment for every pet I care for. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, litter care, and any medications, while paying close attention to their behavior and comfort level. Dogs are always securely leashed on walks, and cats are never forced into interaction, they’re cared for on their terms. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and mindful of security at all times. You’ll receive regular photo updates so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Austin was a huge help during my first week with a new puppy. He came over twice in a short time in one day for food/potty/play breaks for my 10 week old puppy. He came by in the morning for a meet and greet too. He was on time for them, sent lots of photos/videos, and left a lot of information afterwards. Very professional. I will be hiring him again!”
About: I grew up with a dog and a cat, and I adopted my first cat last year. The intervening years have been filled with pet sitting cats and dogs of all sizes (from my Uncle’s Chihuahua to my Brother’s Full Size Great Danoodle and Bernadoodle!). I’d love to check in on or walk your furry friend while you’re away and give them *almost* as much love as you! Whether your favorite furry friend is shy and needs patience or outgoing and just wants a companion for zoomies, I'll keep them safe and happy while you're gone. From simple tasks (feeding, walking, etc.) to the more complicated ones (administering medicine, deep cleaning litter boxes, or following your specialized plan), I'm here for it all! I'm available most weekdays 9-5 and am open to early morning/late evening sessions as well. I also have availability on some weekends; please send me a message and we can find something that works! The best part of meeting animals is learning their quirks and what makes them special. I want to get to know your pet and personalize their care.
“Ana was very sweet to my cat, Leo. She always responded to my texts and kept me updated on how my cat was doing while I was away. I definitely recommend her! She is an animal lover and is very reliable.”
About: I’ve grown up with family dogs and used to be a dog foster parent for around 3 years. I have taken care of all ages, from puppies to senile dogs and everything in between. My family members have cats and I understand their care needs also. I regularly pet sit for my friends with dogs and cats when they go out of town. I love all pets like they are my own. I’m currently a full time student so I have ample time during the day to pop by or stay and take care of pets. My class schedule is concentrated in the evenings so I have flexibility for mornings, afternoons, and night visits. I live in a small apartment with plenty of park space nearby. While I don’t have any pets of my own, my house is pet proof and there is little access to any plants or items on the floors that can make your pets sick. I am comfortable with litter boxes, all kinds of wacky feeding schedules, and any other needs your pet may have ♡

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jackson Heights
Sin Ying is wonderful with cats! My cat is very shy and cautious around strangers, but he warmed up to her surprisingly well and was comfortable interacting with her. She was also great at administering his medication and inhaler, Really appreciated how patient and gentle she was with him. Absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter!
We’re so grateful to Angie for looking after our little Moylan! ❤️ She took such great care of him, making sure he was fed, played with, and given plenty of attention. She kept us updated with lovely pictures and messages throughout, which gave us such peace of mind. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. We’re so thankful she was able to mind Moylan and would recommend Angie 100% to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet!
Xiaoying was wonderful with Miles! She sent me regular photo updates and messages every day, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Miles was home happy, calm, and well-cared for. I would totally book Xiaoying again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!
I found out my cat had an ear infection 1 day before a 10 day international trip. I usually have my neighbor watch her, but the vet wanted me to wipe a scratch near her ear once a day and administer ear drops in her ear twice a day so I knew I needed more help. Natalia responded almost immediately to my request and she was at my apartment meeting my cat within 24hrs! She was communicative, kind, and best of all was able to wipe her scratch AND get ear drops into her ear (she’s very wriggly so this was impressive!). I was so grateful for peace of mind so last minute! She’s the best of the best!
Rachel was great with our cats and super flexible with some changing plans at the last minute. She took great, fun photos and provided regular updates on what the cats were doing. The cats often hide when people come in, but they were always very excited to see her and hang out with her to get attention. Highly recommend Rachel as a cat sitter.
Zoe took care of our little kittens like they were her own! She was always on time and sent us so many wonderful photos and videos that put our minds at ease. She followed all of our instructions to the letter and the kittens loved hanging out with her! We will definitely be having Zoe come back to watch our precious little fur babies.

- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
