“It was such a relief having Elena checking on our elderly cat for the weekend! She did a great job, shared thorough updates and pictures, and just made us feel comfortable knowing our cat was taken care of.”
“Samantha was absolutely incredible with our Lola! She gave us frequent updates on how Lola was doing along with pictures of their adventures! Lola was well fed and clearly had a great time on her walks. Samantha showed Lola so much love and care, and we could tell that Lola loved her as well! I would highly recommend Samantha to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our cats received while we were away on our trip. We’ve unfortunately had some bad experiences with pet sitters in the past, so leaving our cats behind has always been something that caused us a lot of anxiety. From the moment we met her, she gave us such a sense of comfort and peace of mind. She was incredibly communicative throughout our entire trip, followed all of our instructions perfectly, and sent us daily videos and updates of the cats. Being able to see them every day and know they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for made such a huge difference while we were away. She was also extremely respectful of our home and left everything clean and exactly as we had left it. Most importantly, our cats absolutely loved her! It was so clear that they were comfortable with her and genuinely enjoyed having her around. We are so grateful we found someone we can truly trust with our cats and our home. After our previous experiences, she completely changed the way we feel about leaving our pets when we travel. We would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, communicative, and trustworthy. We will absolutely be using her again!”
About: Experienced, reliable, and passionate about dogs! Over the past 3 years, I’ve provided services for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. As a owner of 3 dogs, I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your pets in someone else's hands. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs at once, adapting to reactive or shy temperaments, and maintaining your pet's routine. I'd love to help take care of your pup. Reach out anytime for walks or drop-in care! I currently work part time and am available for drop ins and walks most afternoons. I am always looking to schedule times when I am free. I have three dogs that live at my house giving me plenty of experience caring for multiple types of dogs. Whether your dog is friendly or shy i will be able to care for him as needed.
“Kelly is amazing! She was very quick to respond and was able to help us out when our usual sitter cancelled last minute. She took great care of our puppy and provided lots of updates!”
“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!!”
About: I have my own home with a fenced in backyard, I love hiking and running the trails. I have 5 fur-nephews and nieces and haven’t met a dog that I haven’t befriended. I work a steady full time job at a bakery in the Holbrook costco so I am always home before dinner and I always smell delicious. I have a fully fenced in backyard with a back door access, I have also had my friends and family dogs in my household for extended periods with great success.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kathy is truly amazing, and we feel so lucky to have found her! We have four dogs, which is definitely a lot to take on, but Kathy handles them all with so much patience, care, and love. From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable trusting her with not only our dogs, but our home as well. She consistently goes above and beyond what we could ever expect from a pet sitter. She is incredibly reliable, attentive, and genuinely cares about each of our dogs like they are her own. Having four dogs means four different personalities and needs, and Kathy takes the time to make sure every one of them is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. One of the best parts is the peace of mind she gives us when we’re away. We never have to worry about whether the dogs are okay or being taken care of — we know they are in wonderful hands with Kathy. That kind of trust is priceless when it comes to your pets. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, caring, trustworthy, and willing to go the extra mile, Kathy is absolutely the person you want. We cannot recommend her enough! ❤️🐾”
About: I’m new on this platform, so I don't have any reviews yet, but I'm looking forward to the opportunity to care for your precious fur baby. I've always loved animals and grew up surrounded by pets. My parents bred Pomeranians, and as a teen I had a Sheltie who I absolutely adored. Over the years, I’ve cared for friends’, coworkers’, and even my boss’s pets while they were away, making sure they stayed on schedule with meals, exercise, and attention. Last year, I took a sabbatical during which I traveled the country largely through pet sitting. During that experience, I cared for a wide variety of pets—from young, energetic pets to seniors, and from energetic Border Collies and Newfiedoodles to independent outdoor Calico cats and affectionate indoor Russian Blues. I loved and cared for each of them as if they were my own. I’m attentive to established routines and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I understand how important peace of mind is while you’re away, so I’m always happy to provide regular updates and photos. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, well cared for, and loved while you’re away. Since I work full time (8:00-4:30), my availability is primarily evenings (5pm onwards) and weekends for dog walks and drop-ins. I can also assist with morning cat feedings or drop-ins (6-7:30am) on my way to work when timing and location allow. I’m open to weekend house sitting with advance notice and aim to provide consistent, reliable care for every pet. I genuinely enjoy forming bonds with animals and creating a calm, consistent environment for them while their owners are away. To me, this means closely following their established feeding, exercise, and play routines while also giving them plenty of care and affection. As someone who is dependable and detail-oriented, I treat every pet and home with the same respect and attentiveness I would my own. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible.
About: I've been involved with dog care and training since the age of 11. Dog grooming NYS certified and a dog handler. I also have 2 dogs of my own that I train, groom, and care for. I'm currently unemployed with a very busy schedule. This will ensure that I have plenty of time to care for and spend time with your pets. I am well educated on the overall wellbeing of your pet. This includes safety and health. I am committed to keeping your pet safe and happy.

Ahhhh, she did such an incredible job 😊 was extremely comfortable with her watching my animals, and genuinely, didn’t worry that one of them would get lost which really scared me at first.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

- 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.
