About: I’m that friend who always volunteers to watch the dog — because I genuinely love it. I grew up with three dogs, helped my sister with her pups, and even lived with a roommate who ran a doggy daycare. I miss having furry energy around, so I’m here to give yours all the love, walks, and playtime they need! I currently work remote and am free most weeknights and weekends, so I have the flexibility during my lunch break or the ability to spend some time with the pup on a weekend. When I’m caring for your dog in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow all your instructions closely — from feeding schedules and walk times to any special quirks or care details that make your pup feel safe and happy. I take time to bond with each dog so they feel comfortable with me while you’re away. Whether that means playtime in the yard, cozy cuddle sessions, or just quiet companionship, I adjust to what your pet needs. I’m respectful of your space, clean up after myself (and your dog!), and always make sure things are left as I found them. Because I’ve lived with and cared for dogs in all kinds of homes — including helping with a former roommate’s doggy daycare — I know how to be a calm, trustworthy presence in your dog’s environment. Your pup will be in loving, capable hands, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re happy and cared for.
“Amia is a very professional cat sitter. She provided all affection , love and care to our Simba cat during the visits. I received all updates regularly. I will definitely go ahead with her upcoming visits.”
“Kya really helped me out last min to drop in on Grayson . She was lovely and followed instructions- I did feel like my cat was taken care of - I would definitely use and recommend her .”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life dogs, cats, and other animals. They’ve always had a huge place in my heart, and I feel like I really connect with animals easily. I’ve pet sat for friends before and it’s always gone well. I’m confident I’ll get along well with your pets also. I’m flexible with schedules and comfortable handling different kinds of pet needs, whether that’s feeding routines, medication, or just extra cuddle time. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves animals and will treat your pet like family, I’d love to help! Hi there, my name's Nick! I've got a ton of flexibility in my schedule right now, so I'm happy to work around whatever your pets need — whether that's a full weekend stay, an extended visit over several days, or just popping in during the week and then sticking around overnight on weekends. Basically, if your furry friend needs company, I can make it work. I've always grown up with animals, and I currently have a cat and a dog of my own, so I know what it takes to care for cats and dogs of all ages from playful young pups and kittens to more quiet older animals. Just let me know what your pet needs and what the visit will look like, and I should be able to make most things work!
About: I grew up with several different dogs and animals of all kinds. I love any type of critter and in the past I have taken care of senior, young, and special needs animals, and love them all dearly. I just graduated and moved to New Jersey! Currently have a fully open schedule and need to fill up some time! Please contact me and I’d love to take care of your fur babies I always make sure that any animal I take care of is always safe and sound. I make sure to never let dogs out without a leash, and am always careful to make sure a cat never sneaks out the front door when going in and out. And I always make sure to remember things easily forgotten, such and changing out their water!
“Bhali was so helpful and caring with our two dogs. They were well taken care of and very happy to go on walks with her. She catered to their needs and we appreciated the punctual check-ins with detailed updates and photos. Thank you so much Bhali!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and have experience raising both cats and dogs. Our family cat was rescued from the streets as a kitten, and I raised our dog from puppyhood, including training with him at Heavenly Hounds. Since 2025, I’ve also volunteered at SAVE Animal Shelter, where I walk and play with dogs and spend time caring for cats by playing with them, reading to them, and cleaning their cages. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality and way of communicating. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to take the time to understand what makes each pet feel safe and comfortable. I’m also happy to water plants and clean up any accidents along the way. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and affection I’d want for my own. I’m currently completing my master’s degree online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the week and can be flexible with timing to fit your pet’s routine and needs. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for both you and your pet. At my home, I don’t have a fenced yard, but I live in a large, pet-friendly community with plenty of space to walk and explore. It’s a great environment for dogs to get both physical exercise and mental stimulation while staying safe and supervised. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow your rules, routines, and preferences. I’ll make sure to ask thorough questions ahead of time so I understand your pet’s needs, your home, and anything important I should know. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable while giving you peace of mind that they and your home are in good hands.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lawrence
Eliza was absolutely amazing and I'm so glad we found her. Our kitty is an older boy who is very skittish around new people. He warmed up to Eliza faster than he has with anyone before! She constantly played with him and brushed him while at our place, and I think he was sad when his playdates were over. Would absolutely recommend and book her again.
Kelly is great! She was super communicative the whole time, which made us feel really at ease, and she did an excellent job taking care of our cat, which included pilling him. Kelly really knows what she’s doing, and we absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!

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.

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.
