“Elisabeth was a great sitter. We booked her for our two cats and also for some indoor and outdoor plant watering. She was timely, responsive, and took care of pets and home. We had a fluorescent light randomly break (or maybe not randomly considering cats lol) in the basement and she let us know immediately and also took the extra step to clean it up. Would recommend!”
“We were more than satisfied with our choice of Tiffany for watching our cat Lucky for 3 weeks. We were concerned that Lucky might not accept Tiffany once he realized we were gone. That fear was short lived when she shared a photo of him sleeping on her lap the first day. Lucky is a high maintenance cat because he is an indoor/outdoor cat, so more work for Tiffany was required. We are so glad that she was available for that time slot and agreed to stay in our home. We highly recommend Tiffany.”
“Alyssa swooped in and saved the day a few times when we were out of town for a week. Our little Princess loved her from the start and we felt good knowing she was in such good hands.”
About: Hello, I’m Deanna! I have lived in the Buffalo area all my life & previously have had 2 dogs. I currently have a 3 year old dog at home. I have done 100+ services on another platform with a 4.98/5 rating. I am looking for some doggy’s to socialize with, provide them with activity & get some energy out! *Please note I am available for sitting but unable to sleep at the house due to childcare* I work remotely and am available during day for pets that need often check-ins. If your dog cannot be left alone for 4+ hours, I am your girl! I will follow instructions left by owner and check in with the owner if questions arise; everyone has their own routine and I want pet & parent as comfortable as possible.
About: Hi! I’m Katy! I am a veterinary assistant working at McClelland Small Animal Hospital, and I’m pet sitting not only due to my love of animals, but to use the extra funds to help pay off some school debt! I’ve had pets my entire life, and I’m so fortunate to be able to help care for others' pets every day. I will love and treat your critters like they are my own, as taking care of animals is truly my passion. I currently work part time at an animal hospital and own 3 dogs and 2 cats, so pet care is truly second nature to me. When I’m entrusted in caring for your pet and your home, I will be there all night and in the morning before I head into work. I will check on them during my lunch hour so they can have a potty break, lunch (if needed), play time, cuddles, and plenty of attention, before I'm back with them right after my work day. I'm always incredibly respectful of my clients homes, ensuring things are just as neat and tidy (if not more so) than they were when I arrived. Mail will be brought in, trash taken out, and bed linens cleaned. You're on a vacation, why worry about cleaning up when you get home?! The animal hospital I work for has a boarding facility for dogs and cats. When I’m not caring for others pets at work, I’m tending to my menagerie at home! As the owner of pets who have trouble being removed from their “safe space,” you can rest easy knowing that your pets will receive plenty of love and care in the place they feel the most comfortable. During a meet and greet, I come prepared with an information sheet to fill out so that I can make sure I cater to each pets specific needs. Everything from feeding times, food sensitivities, and jotting down your pets favorite toys and activities!
About: I provide reliable, compassionate care for both cats and dogs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. My responsibilities include feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes, administering medications when needed, and giving pets plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection.I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to follow each owner’s instructions closely to help pets stay comfortable and reduce stress. I am dependable, patient, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own while giving owners peace of mind that their companions are in caring hands. I work full time Monday through Friday from 7am to 3pm, but I’m available for pet care before work, after 3:30pm on weekdays, and any time throughout the weekends. I can provide evening walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, and weekend boarding. I’ll always communicate with you, follow your pet’s routine, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and quality care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large fenced yard for dogs to enjoy, and the driveway entrance is securely blocked off whenever pets are outside. Cats are kept safely indoors in a calm environment. I have two friendly, well-socialized dogs, and I always introduce pets carefully while supervising all interactions. I can keep pets separated if needed, follow your pet’s routine, and provide regular updates with photos so you know they’re happy and well cared for.
“Jenna was a superstar! Super responsive, and took fantastic care of our cat for about 5 days. We were worried our cat was lonely, so Jenna was able to add on an extra hour a day. We really appreciated the flexibility and care. Would hire again in a heartbeat.”
About: I have done seasonal dog walking jobs for older clients as well as drop-in visits for several of my friends and family’s cats or dogs. I am also proficient in caring for senior cats as I have rescued two from the street. My kitties are quite independent and have an auto kibble feeder and they are fed wet dinner in the evenings to support urinary health. I am always hanging out with them when in my home as it is theirs as well. I am always checking on my pets and giving them affection. I am attentive and quick to respond which makes me very observant and detail oriented. Your pet is always safe under my watch and your instructions will be followed closely. In my own home, clients’ pets have their own room.
About: I've had dogs and cats almost my entire life. My family and I are huge animal lovers and supporters. I always care for animals as if they are my own because pets are a member of your family and deserve the best. My schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to accommodate requests. Please contact me and I'm sure we can arrange days and times that work for both of us! We can discuss what you need for your pet while I care for them in your home. I can do check-ins, walk them, play with them, feed them, etc. Just let me know!
About: I am currently a part-time dog daycare attendant. I am a cat mom to two sweet, kind, loving boys, Sam and Dan. As well as a pet sitter for friends and family. Pet care is a part of my daily life. Both work and home have a routine, love, care for, play and help the pets live their best lives. Caring for pets is totally what the clients wish. People care for their fur babies in different ways. My job is to keep their pets safe and happy in the client's absence.
About: ✨ 8+ years experience | Medical care | Reliable & dog-savvy ✨ 🌞 6/1/2026: Please keep in mind that this is a busy time of year! Blocked spots on calendar indicate booked gigs outside of Rover. If you see any availability, please don’t hesitate to reach out! 🌞 Hi there! My name is Izzy! I have been working with dogs for a little over 8 years now, both in formal and personal settings. From managing a doggy daycare/salon to my own personal care sessions (which have been requested in state and international), I value all opportunities because it allows me to learn, grow and become more confident when caring for animals. I have worked with and taught commands to dogs ranging from puppies to seniors. I have also worked with animals who had behavioral issues, medical conditions such as seizures, liver problems and diabetes. I have administered medications and proper substances when needed. I believe that maintaining a routine is essential when watching animals because their world is a little different when they aren’t with their primary care taker. With this being said, if an animal has heath condition and/or specific needs, I would appreciate that they are disclosed before sessions. It is important that each animal is treated with care and is given lots of love. It is also necessary that the family feels comfortable with individual who cares for their pet and that they can trust them. I haven’t touched on all my experiences so if there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to share! Looking forward to connecting with you and your pets! Side note: I’m also comfortable caring for lizards and small pets, and can offer light home cleaning services during longer stays if requested. Additional fees may be required. I build my schedule around my pet care clients, so availability for drop-ins, walks, and sitting can be very flexible — including mornings, evenings, and weekends. If you’re unsure about timing, just message me! I’m happy to coordinate! I believe that monitoring activities like playing with toys and distributing treats should be supervised at all times. Having a routine is important so sticking to that routine essential when it comes to caring for a pet. I do not have a yard but dogs would be taken on walks everyday (rain or shine) if they were to stay with me.
About: I absolutely love dogs. My wife's family has always had dogs. They currently have a German Shepard and a chocolate lab. I absolutely adore them. I have a large fenced in yard, I am also very flexible to come and sit anytime you need. I love taking dogs for a walk and I love playing with them at the park especially fetch! I am very reliable and safe and come from a dog family. I will love and care for your dog like I it is my own. My children are now in middle school and high school and they love dogs as well. I can provide loving and affection for your dog and care for it like it was my own. I hope to hear from you soon Taking care of a pet just becomes part of my everyday flow. You feed them, take them out or clean up after them, and make time to play or cuddle a bit. Most days involve quick things like feeding and walks, while once a week you might do a deeper clean or grooming. It’s not too hard once you get into a rhythm—it just becomes routine. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, whether they’re in my home or a client’s. That includes feeding them on schedule, giving them fresh water, and making time for walks, play, or snuggles—whatever they need to feel happy and relaxed. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible to keep things familiar. If I’m in a client’s home, I also make sure everything stays clean and tidy, and I always send updates so they know their pet is doing great. I also have a fenced in yard.
“Alicia did a great job looking after our 2 cats while we were gone for 4 days. She was always on time for feeding and visits and communication with us was very good. We also enjoyed the pictures she sent during visits. We would definitely recommend Alicia to care for your pet.”
About: I have a senior dog of my own who I’ve had for about 5 years! I am have trained her in basic obedience, and I often take her out on trails with me for walks. Since she’s old, she occasionally has accidents, so I’m good at cleaning up messes! My ride has work from 2PM-9PM on weekdays, so ideally would have to do things before 12PM. On weekends I’m available whenever except for Sunday, we have church from 9AM-12PM but after that I am free. I can easily crate your dog for you if needed! I can make sure they’re fed, watered, and the place is clean. If they need a bath I am able to do that.
About: Growing up I always had cats and dogs in my life. From big to small, young to old. I get along with all animals I come in contact to, I have a lot of free time and would love to take care and give love. I have a lot of free time after work. I am also open to staying over night or them staying over night at my house with my two cats. I’m very flexible. I would keep an eye on all times and make sure they are loved. Make sure that everything the owner wants, I’m able to give!

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 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.
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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
