“The best babysitter for our cats. They love her as much as she loves them. Especially our little bean who had an eye condition, she took extra care and medicated him. We are forever grateful to her ❤️”
“Camille is great. Very easy to communicate with and everything is always in good shape when I get back. She has taken care of my cat during two different trips and my kitty is always well cared for. Will be continuing to hire her in the future!”
About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life but I only have 3 years experience . I have dog sit for my friends many times I’m currently working a full time job but I’m available in the mornings and all day on. available to do drop in and dog walking in on Saturday to mondays. Follow exact portions, schedules, and dietary protocols provided by the owner. feeding, providing fresh water, and allowing for nature's calls. Keep an eye on the pet's eating and elimination habits and administer medications if needed.
About: I've taken care of dogs as long as I can remember, but have been doing it as a side job since I was about 12. I love all dogs, whether they are big, small, old, or young. I am currently working in the morning and early afternoons, so evening and night (walks, check-ins, etc.) would be ideal for my schedule at the moment! I have a large unfenced yard and a jittery, but friendly pup that would love to get to know yours! I also have access to yards that are fenced in!:)
About: I currently have baby-Neo, who’s a German Shepherd and Great Dane mix. However, I have worked with Rottweilers, labs, and boxers previously. My experience includes special feeding/diets, walks, playing, baths etc. I plan to offer walks and/or home visits. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I’m happy to assist. Visits and walks would be 30 min, and if feeding or any other special request is needed related to your pets, (including additional time!) please feel free to let me know in the initial visit to discuss. I would like to ask for an initial meeting to meet the pet(s) and go over the expectations regarding the services. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry babies! I am currently working part time job with flexible hours. However, my passion is dogs and looking to expand my experience/network and work with them more often! Strictly follow owners’ instructions! The owners are best suited to provide instructions on how to care for the pets which includes feeding any special diets, how to walk them etc. you can expect your directions, no matter how long to be strictly followed!
“Anna was great. I have a scaredy cat and she was able to get him to warm up to her. My cats also had medication that she was able to give to the cats as well. We will definitely hire her again.”
“She really seemed to have a good time with the cat. He was happy and healthy when we got home. Got pictures every day. He had clean water and plenty of water. Would definitely use her again”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - New Hartford
Did great with mine and my husband’s cats. Took extra care with both of them and gave them much needed attention while we were away. Plenty of updates were given so that we could know what was going on and my husband felt much more at ease knowing Charles was taking care of them.
Amazing pet sitter! Emily was amazing with my cats and made sure they were taken care of and loved when I was away. She provided pictures throughout her visit and had excellent communication the entire time. Even though my cats can be skittish around new people they loved Emily! Highly recommend for your pet sitting needs

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.
