“Excellent communication. I was a bit nervous to leave our dog for the first time with a sitter and Victoria answered each message and never made me feel bothersome. Overall, she was wonderful with our dog. Our dog had recently suffered a trauma and was a bit shy, but Victoria was very patient with her and ensured she went outside and used the bathroom each time. Our dog was happy and our house in great shape when we returned home.”
“Kelly was great! She was so patient with my shy cat and even sat with her while she ate. I had such peace of mind while she took care of my furbabies. I will definitely rebook her again 😻😻”
“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!”
“Jordan took great care of Mona while I was away for several days. Mona can be sensitive to changes in routine, and Jordan was calm, patient, and very attentive in helping her feel comfortable. She was communicative, reliable, and made sure Mona’s routine stayed consistent, which gave me peace of mind while traveling. I appreciated how thoughtful she was in making sure Mona was well cared for and comfortable. Over the course of the visits, Mona became more relaxed and even playful, which really speaks to Jordan’s approach and attentiveness. Jordan is responsible, kind, and clearly cares about the animals she works with. I would absolutely recommend her and would gladly book with her again.”
“As always, Emma and Trent are the best. We’ve been lucky that they’ve been available when we needed someone to care for our girls while we needed to be away for several hours. We added another pup this time and Emma was welcoming to her as well. Dowdy, my granddaughters Chesapeake Bay Retriever can be a little excitable so we had a short meet and greet before we left for the evening. The meet and greet went exceptionally well so we felt very comfortable leaving all three of our furry girls with Emma and Trent. We highly recommend Emma and Trent to anyone needing a sitter for their furry friends. Our girls live them as well!”
“The recent 8/2 drop in visit was our 4th or 5th rebooking with Kerry. She is responsive & prompt. More importantly, she is caring to our two dogs. I highly recommend her.”
“Can’t say enough good things about Kim! She is amazing with our puppy and our puppy is considerably more well behaved on days when Kim stops by for drop in visits. Kim is an amazing communicator and amazing with dogs. Our puppy loves seeing her and I know she is well taken care of by Kim. Kim also takes great care of our apartment too - we always come back to a tidy apartment after her visits.”
“Sharon watched my 2 boys for 2 weeks while I was out of the country and i could not have been happier with her dog-sitting services. She took such good care of them and kept me well informed about how they were doing. I have used other dog sitters over the years but she is the best!”
“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.”
“Amanda was amazing with our dogs and bunny. Dogs were very comfortable with her and were very happy to see her each drop in . She was very attentive and detailed in each drop in and kept in touch throughout the whole week. I would highly recommend using her for any of your pets needs”
About: I have pet sit other dogs prior but the one dog that sticks out is my sister’s black lab. Shakira was a black lab mutt with an auto immune disease. She needed twice daily medication and to be taken out side frequently. I work nights as a custodian for a school district ! So I’m available early to mid mornings for walks or house sitting over the weekends. As I have a cat, my number one priority for him is always making sure the doors are shut. He’s an indoor kitty and I ensure that it stays that way. Always guaranteed to have food and water and a clean litter box.
“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.”
“Madison is a great dog sitter. She is very easy to communicate with and kept me up to date when playing with my puppy. She is great with my puppy who is still in the process of getting potty trained and is very energetic. I highly recommend contacting her and booking her to sit.”
“Ava was incredible with our boys! She communicated with us the whole time, played with our cats a lot, and made sure to send plenty of updates while we were away. We felt very comfortable having her watch our cats for a few days, and they definitely appreciated having her spend time with them!”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. Growing up, I lived with two tuxedo cats who completely stole my heart. As I got older, I took on many of their daily care responsibilities, including feeding them, cleaning their litter boxes, playing with them, and making sure they felt loved and comfortable. Today, my wife and I are proud pet parents to two black cats. In addition to caring for cats, I have experience watching a toy poodle puppy under one year old. My responsibilities have included taking her outside for regular bathroom breaks, supervising walks, engaging her in play and exercise, teaching basic tricks and commands, reinforcing good behavior, and helping her work through separation anxiety. Caring for a young puppy taught me the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, patience, and attentiveness to a pet's individual needs. Whether caring for cats or dogs, I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment where pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, and I strive to give each pet the same level of attention and affection that I would want for my own. i work part time in the mornings and am available most days after 1pm. I am a doctoral student at Stony Brook University, so I am flexible to watch your pup or kitty any time in the afternoons/evenings. If needed, I can do an early morning stop by at 6:30AM prior to heading to work. in my clients home, I will be respectful of property, taking off shoes before entering the house, cleaning up any messes that the animal/myself may create, ensuring the animal has food, water, litter box, toys, etc. accessible, and to lock up the house, windows, and any gates prior to leaving the home. I will always accommodate the clients requests. In my home, I have multiple floors to separate my animals from the animal(s) coming into my home. I also have a fully fenced in, large backyard for a dog to run around in. We have a home security system as well to ensure safety.
About: I have experience taking care of animals. I grew up with a dog, taking care of her for 12 years. until she passed away. I love animals very much. I am currently working full-time at a bank. I don’t get off until 5 PM. Anything after five works for me I’m very friendly with animals very loving towards them. I have a fence yard and will watch your dogs figure vigorously I can’t wait to start this new adventure I’m very loving towards animals

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Grove
Victoria was an absolutely amazing cat sitter! My cats loved her; even my shyest cat came out of hiding for her. She was consistent, friendly and kind. She gave wonderful feedback about how my cats are doing throughout my trip so I never had to worry. She was prompted for a visit and also help with watering my plant, bringing in the mail, etc., which was a huge help as well. I recommend her highly!
If you're looking for someone to care for your animals as if they were her own, I highly recommend Katelyn. She took care of my three cats while I was away, and she was incredibly reliable, compassionate, and attentive. After every visit, Katelyn sent me photos and videos along with updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was such a comfort to see the cats eating, relaxing, and interacting with her. What meant the most to me was how quickly the cats trusted her. They welcomed her right away and even allowed her to pet them. The biggest surprise was Brown Bear, who is usually very sensitive to touch and doesn't warm up to people easily. Seeing him feel so comfortable with her says everything about her gentle nature. It's clear she genuinely loves animals, and they know it. My cats were so well cared for, and I know they'll miss seeing her. I wouldn't hesitate to trust her with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and loving pet caregiver.
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.

I booked Lili last minute and she was great! She came over with her daughter to learn the feed/medicine routine and took great care of my babies! I also needed to make a slight adjustment to my reservation and she was very flexible. I highly recommend her and will be using 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
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.
