âElizabeth is an exceptional mature cat sitter. She is great with the cats and understands their personalities and unique needs .I was out of the country on vacation and she managed all aspects of their care and any house issues that arose . She is super at keeping pet parents informed and sends lots of updates . She is truly the best sitter I have had !!â

âOne of our cats takes medication. Brianna was so efficient with her. On time, great updates, and just really pleasant to work with. Highly recommend, and will book again.â

âDiane walked our 10 year old Husky for the first time today. Heâs 80lbs of fluff and we knew he was well taken care of when we came home to his happy calm state. Seeing the photos made us feel comfortable that he was in the best of hands. We look forward to having Diane walk Bruno once again.â

About: Experience with over 7 dogs from puppy to adulthood and numerous cats. I have trained 5 dogs. Over the years I have cared for many cats. Feeding, walking, home care, and giving medicine. I am currently in school with a long background of caring for pets. This position is rewarding for me as I enjoy caring for animals. I personally take care of my two dogs. I take them on multiple walks a day. Reenforcing positive feedback training and playtime continues to provide a continued well mannered dog and happy life.
âAndrea has been helping with overnight stays with my cats for over a year now, and I couldn't be more grateful for how attentive, communicative and caring she is. She treats my Luna so well and knows her little quirks and needs. I can go away without having to worry that she's being well taken care of, which is such a gift.â


âOzzy was an amazing sitter for my four cats! My girlfriend and I felt at ease while away visiting family knowing that he was checking in on our cats, and even giving my diabetic cat his meds. All the cats loved Ozzy and I would highly recommend booking with him!â

About: What sets me apart from others? I truly care for animals. My friends saw how I attended to their pets, so they would asked me to Dog/cat sit, I always did it, because I know how important someone safe is required. Iâm trustworthy and caring and I also believe human interaction is important. I work bank hour, 8:30am - 4:30pm. That leaves me with free time after 5pm. Your fur baby can get all the attention they need. My place/home may be small, but itâs a welcoming and a safe home. I can and will follow your request on what your fur baby needs and want.
âShe is simply the best! Attentive nourish and on top of my catâs needs! She sent cute videos of them together and I think my cat loves her more than us!! Highly recommended!!!â


About: I have three dogs of my own, so caring for animals is a consistent and structured part of my daily routine. I prioritize long, intentional walks, enrichment, and balanced play to support both physical exercise and mental stimulation. Iâm experienced with both dogs and cats, and comfortable with a wide range of sizes, breeds, and temperaments. With dogs, Iâm familiar with everything from small companion breeds to larger, more energetic dogs. With cats, I understand the importance of respecting their space, routines, and comfort levels. In both cases, I pay close attention to body language and behavioral cues so I can adapt my care to each petâs individual needs. I also have experience supporting animals with separation anxiety by providing a calm presence, consistency, and reassurance so they feel secure while their owners are away. I focus on creating a stable, predictable environment that helps reduce stress and build trust. Reliability, patience, and consistency are central to my care. I take time to understand each petâs routine and reinforce positive behaviors during walks and visits, always aiming to maintain the structure and comfort they are used to at home. Iâve been around animals my entire life and bring both intuition and responsibility to every booking. My goal is simple: to provide safe, attentive, and genuinely caring support so your pets feel comfortable, understood, and well cared for while youâre away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I already care for my own dogs every day. Iâm used to structuring my schedule around consistent walks, feeding, playtime, and general care, so itâs already built into how I plan my days. I have full-day availability and a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of needs throughout the week, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Iâm able to adjust my day based on each petâs routine so they receive consistent, reliable care at the times theyâre used to. Whether itâs morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight house sitting, I prioritize being present, dependable, and attentive. My goal is to maintain each petâs normal routine as closely as possible while providing calm, consistent care throughout the day or stay. When caring for pets in a clientâs home, I prioritize safety, respect, and maintaining a calm, familiar environment. I follow each petâs routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, and any specific instructions provided, to ensure consistency and comfort. I am very attentive to each petâs behavior and body language, which helps me respond appropriately to their needs and ensure they feel safe and understood. For pets that may experience anxiety, I focus on providing a steady, reassuring presence and minimizing disruption to their normal routine. I also provide updates as needed so owners feel informed and at ease throughout my care. I treat every home with care and responsibility, making sure to keep the space clean, secure, and exactly as I found it, while being mindful of safety at all times, including doors, leashes, and any specific household guidelines. My goal is to create a stable, trustworthy environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for, and owners feel confident that both their home and their pet are in reliable hands.
âDalila did the most amazing job looking after our two cats who are very active and love to play and have a particular feeding schedule. She kept us updated and gave me piece of mind while traveling! She also kept the apartment very clean and tidy!â

âShibo was absolutely amazing! I have two male cats, and one of them I had just adopted 10 days before leaving for my trip. He was very skittish when I first got him, but he warmed up to Shibo right away. My other cat took a liking to him immediately as wellâwho wouldnât! Shibo was so wonderful, giving my cats the attention they needed while I was away. In the past, I relied on neighbors and people just stopping by to feed and check on them, but my experience with Shibo has completely changed my perspective. It is worth every penny to have someone as great as him looking after your fur babies! When I returned, I could see the difference in my fluffy companions in the best way as this is very early in their introduction phase. I had peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. Shibo provided fantastic updates and beautiful photos, making it clear that my cats had a wonderful time with their new friend. I have full trust in Shibo as I also came home to find everything exactly as I expected. I highly recommend Shibo for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! Especially cats.â

About: Iâm an attentive sitter only with experience caring for my familyâs brown dachshund, Snickers (yes like after the Snickers bar lol), over the past year. I may not have formal petâcare training, but I have a natural ease with animals and a friendly, patient presence that helps them feel comfortable. Iâm reliable, gentle, and committed to making your pet feel safe, happy, and wellâcaredâfor. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday on a hybrid schedule. I can work around my work schedule and supplying care on the weekends and in the early afternoon and evenings during the weekdays. Although all options wonât be available at once every week, those would be my typical options. As far as pet care, of course thereâs feeding, walking, playing and exercising, and general comfort of the pet. I will be willing to supply whatever needs specific to that pet given the instruction from the owner.
âWei came to my home to care for my 2 cats. She was attentive and sweet and my cats felt comfortable with her. She also made sure they had adequate water and food, and she diligently cleaned their litter boxes. I am thankful for her help!â

âCaitlyn was fantastic! It was clear the cats felt comfortable and at home with her dropping in to take care of them. She came for a meet and greet ahead of time and went above and beyond with photos during each visit. With care and professionalism Caitlyn shows I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their fur-babies.â


About: Iâve always been a lover of animals especially cats and dogs! I have my own cat that Iâve taken care of through thick and thin. Administering a pet medicine, a bath, a walk, food and water, and companionship is something Iâm very fond of. Your pets will be treated like my own. :) I have all my weekdays free for taking care of your furry companion! However, if I have certain errands or appointments I need to get done I will let you know in advance as soon as anything comes up. :) I will make sure to accommodate to whatever requirements or rules you have set for your place of living. Please let me know of all of these before allowing me to care for your cat/dog.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home filled with cats, dogs, birds, and fish, and got my first cat at age 11 whom I lovingly cared for on my own for 17 years. Since then, Iâve spent two years dog sitting and shared 13 beautiful years with my beloved cat Sparky, who recently passed. He had multiple health challenges including allergies, heart and kidney disease, and arthritis, so Iâm experienced and comfortable caring for pets with medical needs. Losing Sparky has inspired me to offer the same level of love, attentiveness, and compassion to other peopleâs pets I currently work part-time from home and have a flexible schedule. As someone whoâs single with no children, Iâm available to provide loving care to your pet seven days a week. When I pet sit for cats, I offer an in-home stay that ensures your feline friend experiences consistent love, comfort, and human presence, especially important for cats used to having their pet parent nearby. Iâm typically only out of the home for a few hours at a time, so your cat will never feel alone for long. I follow all feeding instructions carefully, clean the litter box once to twice daily, and administer any required medication right on schedule with patience and care. I love helping cats feel at ease, so I usually bring a small catnip toy as a welcome gift and offer treats youâve provided to help build trust. Playtime happens naturally throughout the day, at multiple moments when your cat feels engaged and ready. Iâm also completely open to cuddles and welcome your cat to sleep with me if thatâs part of their routine. To give you peace of mind while you're away, I provide thoughtful and consistent updates throughout the day. I send one photo in the morning, one in the afternoon, and a video in the eveningâso you can feel connected to your cat and confident that theyâre happy, relaxed, and well cared for. As part of my pet sitting service, I also include a general cleaning of your home so you can return to a fresh, spotless space. I believe coming home should feel peaceful and stress-free, so I take care to leave your apartment tidy, welcoming, and cared for, just like your pet!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - New Hyde Park
This was our first time having Michelle as our pet sitter. She was wonderful at communicating, and very thorough in searching for our cat who is always wins at Hide & Seek. We returned to find our home exactly as we left it, she took the litter to the outdoor trash, etc. Highly recommend this lady if you need someone who cares and understands animals!

Brianna was wonderful! I was pleased that she brought a notebook to take notes of details on the meet & greet. She took care of all the basic refills and scooping and took the time to play with the little guys. She was consistent on the time of day she arrived and sent photos every day. We will definitely book her again.

Antonio went above and beyond for my cat. I was away on a 2-week vacation to Japan. While there I was greeted every morning with photos of my cat, and a sweet little note about how he was doing. I canât express the peace of mind Antonio gave me. Please book him for great service!

Gerry and Samantha were the best pet sitters I couldâve imagined! They were attentive and communicative throughout the whole trip and they bonded really well with my cats. The best part of my day while traveling was when I would receive Jerryâs photos from their check ins. I definitely recommend :)

Cat sitters on Rover care for your catsâ 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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.

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, youâll 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.
