“Jenn became very valuable during my recent trip when the other sitter did not follow directions and left my cats without enough food. She went to the store and purchased what I needed without hesitation. Very reliable.”

“Camila was great with Tilly! She showed up on time and took awesome care of her. When I got home, Tilly was super calm and happy, so I know she was in good hands. I’ll definitely be using Camila again. Highly recommend!”
“Andrew was fantastic keeping our cat, Zelda, for three nights!! He was incredibly responsive, always provided videos and images of her, and made us laugh with a few jokes too :) Our cat doesn’t take too well to men or new places but she seemed very affectionate with Andrew which is a testament to how great he was with her! We’ll definitely be requesting his services in the future.”
“Janeth was awesome with our cat Petunia! From the very first communication, she was quick to respond and we scheduled a meet and greet. She was flexible as we finalized the dates of our trip and she sent pictures from every drop in visit. I can tell Petunia was well cared for and I won't hesitate to book with Janeth again the next time we go away. Thanks again!”
“Peyton was amazing! We were looking for some last minute doggie care, and Peyton was very communicative, friendly, professional, and kind right from the start. Throughout her visits, she was always on time and gave detailed updates with photos. We knew our dogs were in great hands! Even when surprises were thrown her way, Peyton handled every situation with care and grace. We would happily have Peyton back to care for our beloved animals!”
“Tatiana did a fabulous job taking care of my cat while I was on vacation (internationally) for 10 days. I would strongly recommend hiring Tatiana for any of your pet sitting needs. I know I certainly will be again in the future! Thank you again Tatiana!”
About: I grew up with a dog that we lost at age 15, then I adopted a senior dog who I had for five years afterward. He had a variety of health issues I had to administer medication for, including epilepsy and arthritis. In March of 2024, I adopted a puppy, so I now have experience with younger dogs as well. I allow drop off/pickup between 8AM and 8PM. I work from home full time, M-F from 9AM - 6PM. I can take your dog out to pee numerous times throughout the day and can take them on longer walks 1-2 times per day, weather permitting. I only board dogs who are fully house trained and can be left alone for a few hours at a time as I do not offer constant care. Please bring all of your dog’s supplies as I live in an apartment and don’t have extras: food, bed, treats, bowls, toys, chews/enrichment, leash and collar, and anything else you want to send them with to feel comfortable. I have poop bags and some toys they can share with my dog. I can only accept bookings with dogs who are friendly with others, as I have a dog of my own. If they do not seem comfortable together I have a baby gate I can use to separate them. My dog stays in her crate whenever I leave my home. Please note that I do not let dogs I am sitting sleep in my bedroom so they will be sleeping by themselves in whatever bed or crate you provide in my living room.
About: Hello! Shamel here! Thank you for taking the time in allowing me to introduce you and your pet to a home you can trust. Whenever my family, friends or neighbors would leave town, our home was always their first choice. All the pups that stay with me are welcomed to our home as family and they all receive the best care from us. I have grown up loving and taking care of dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes. While we don't have a fenced-in yard, we live in a private home on a dead-end street, which gives the pups the opportunity to be walked in a quiet and safe neighborhood. We have two levels your pups can board in; each level has only five steps going up or five steps going down. If you have a mini breed or older fur baby, their safety and knees will be at ease. Our beautiful landscaping and wonderful friendly neighbors will be one of the highlights for your pup's staycation. I truly love doing this so much! I enjoy long walks, feeding, playing, and cuddling with all pups. During their stay, the dogs are never left unattended. We are 100% committed to ensuring each pup has us close-by. Our open floor plan allows us to keep a close eye on everyone. Our lower level allows your pups stay to be as private as needed. We regularly go to the park and walk around our neighborhood. If you have any questions or want to meet and greet, please reach out. We ensure 24/7 service and care for your pets. We can guarantee the best stay, where you can trust we will provide the most love for your pets! We offer a full indoor open floor plan to ensure safety at all times during boarding. We have plenty of open back space where we ensure the pups will be supervised at all times so they can enjoy a playful stay. I have plenty of time set aside daily to play with your furry family member. My schedule is open full day, 7days a week. You will have no worries booking with me and in returning back as a loyal client. I am here at your service I have an open back play area and we live in a beautiful landscaped community. Your pet will enjoy their stay while you can be at ease during your time away. Feel free to bring your pets crate and supplies and we will take care of the rest :)
About: I have about 20 years of experience caring for dogs of different ages, breeds, backgrounds, and temperaments, including strays, purebreds, puppies, senior dogs, working breeds, and dogs in multi-pet households. I have experience with basic training, puppy care, medication, special diets, enrichment activities, structured routines, and dogs who need a little extra patience or attention. I’m also comfortable caring for reactive dogs and understand how important consistency, awareness, and following a pet parent’s established routine can be. I’m happy to work with dogs of all life stages and always try to provide the same attentive, dependable care I would want for my own. I’m very flexible and happy to work around your schedule. This is because I prefer to focus on only a couple of clients at a time to ensure that all pets in my care are receiving the absolute best support and attention I can provide. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I understand that I’m being trusted with both a beloved animal and someone’s personal space. I’m respectful of your home, belongings, routines, and boundaries, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you provide. That can include walking your dog along a preferred route, ensuring your cat has their favorite toy or treat, keeping to established feeding and exercise schedules, or taking them on approved outings such as a park visit or another familiar activity. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as comfortable and consistent as possible while giving you peace of mind that both your pet and your home are being treated with care.
About: My cat gave birth to 4 kittens when I was 8 years old, and I have been taking care of cats ever since. I love spending time with cats. I feed my kitten Cassiopeia daily and change her litter box. I have time during the day to spend taking care of your cats too. My cat has a bowl for water, a bowl for dry food, and a bowl for wet food. She has a litter box and many toys and likes to spend time with me and play.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - New Milford
We hired Libby for two weeks of drop-in visits with our 4 year old cat, and we were SO happy with how she took care of our him! We really appreciated the extra time she took for a pre-booking meet and greet to meet us and our pet, her daily updates complete with cute photos, and the thoroughness of care she provided. Libby is a great communicator, incredibly detailed, treated our cat like her own, and went above and beyond in her care - even bringing in a package from outside during one of our visits. Our relatively shy boy was crawling in her lap by the end of the two weeks. We will definitely be booking Libby in the future!
5 stars! We had such a wonderful experience with Jenn. She was reliable, caring, and very attentive to our cat while we were away. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Our cat can be a little shy at first, but she was very patient and respectful of her space. We came home to a happy and well-cared-for kitty. We really appreciate everything she did and would definitely recommend her to other pet parents!
We made last-minute plans and were worried about finding pet care until we met Rachel! Her prompt reply to our inquiry and willingness to meet with us before the trip put us completely at ease—we left for the weekend feeling confident our pets were in great hands. With each drop-in, Rachel sent detailed, thoughtful messages and photos, so there was never a doubt about how well cared for our two dogs and cat were. She was precise, professional, and clearly took the time to understand each of our animals' personalities and needs. Communication was clear and consistent throughout, and it was obvious Rachel genuinely cared. We'd recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely book her again.
Amanda went above & beyond during her visit with Lucy. I couldn’t have asked for a better drop in. She was attentive to not only Lucy, but also the entire apartment letting me know if things looked out of place. I can tell Lucy was cared for & played with throughout the drop in. Will book again!!!
Kathryn was eager to meet my boys prior to our trip. This puts everyone at ease. It’s something I look for when choosing a new pet care provider. Kathryn followed all my instructions and was communicative all during our trip. My boys were happy and content when we got home.
Sara is a supreme cat sitter and you can trust her with your pets. She was flexible when we had a family emergency and is always reliable to make sure my kitties are well. Even my shy kitty who doesn’t like most people will excitedly greet her. Highly recommended and we will be booking her again and 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 .

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 .
