About: I have been taking care of my own and friends dogs ever since I was young. From puppies to middle aged dogs, taking them for walks, feeding them, and training them. I am currently working part-time, mainly nights during the week. During the daytime (9am-2pm) I can stop by check up, walk, and play with your pups! I focus on providing reliable, loving care and following each pet owner’s instructions carefully. I make sure pets are fed, exercised, given fresh water, and receive plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I adapt my care to their routine and personality while keeping their safety and comfort my top priority.
“Madison is awesome! She is friendly and loving toward Nemo and was able to easily administer his medications. We appreciated her great communication and her photos of Nemo. We will definitely keep her in mind for next time!”
“Sophia is incredibly caring, kind, and reliable. She has visited our kittyboi Enso and administered his liquid heart medicine twice a day, for us to be able to go on a special weekend trip. The kitty pictures and updates were wonderful. I had great peace of mind knowing our fluffy angel was in good hands.”
About: I have 3 years of experience taking care of cats and dogs of a variety of breeds, and have worked with puppies as well as older pets in home environments such as suburbs, cities, and rural areas. I am happy to cater to your pet's special needs, and I focus on respecting each pet's boundaries and getting to know them on a case by case basis, with the hope that they grow to trust me as much as they trust you! Since I am a writer who works remotely, I am open on a weekly basis and am able to be flexible in order to meet your scheduling requirements. I work hard to ensure that your pet's personal boundaries are not crossed while we take time to get to know each other. I especially care about learning their preferences in order to earn their favor and eventually their trust. Depending on each pet, I try to be very sensitive to any shifts in their mood or behavior, such as if they get anxiety when left alone or are afraid of loud weather.
“Emily was awesome! She really did a perfect job, and we couldn't recommend her more. She was conscientious, proactive, and had great communication. And she clearly has a way with animals. We came home to a very clean living space and happy cats. Thanks so much, Emily!”
“Katelyn was an enthusiastic and extremely competent sitter! She is a good communicator that got along well with our two cats and provided an excellent quality of care. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Riley was great to work with - we even had a tricky lockout situation while we were away and Riley worked with us every step of the way to get it resolved. Strongly recommend Riley.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. All of my family and friends have relied in me to care of their pets when they are gone. I have 1 dog of my own and know how important it is to tailor to every dogs needs individually! We also had a senior pup who sadly passed away so I am very familiar to tailoring to senior pups and younger pups! I care for every dog like they are my own! I do work full time so I am available from 3:30pm on. After work hours I am fully dedicated to your pet and what their needs are! I have a loving 4 year old treeing walker coonhound that I have had since a pup. We also had a senior dog so I am very knowledgeable on all stages of life! I care for every pet like my own so they will be in the best of hands!
About: I have extensive experience caring for pets at every stage of life. I’ve been caring for pets since I was 5 years old, starting with my first cat, Rosie, and over time I’ve gained hands-on experience with both kittens and senior cats. I’ve raised four kittens (three rescues) myself, so I’m very familiar with the patience, attention, and consistency needed for young pets. Additionally, I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, through the care of my own pups and friends’. I have lots of experience caring for senior pets, including administering medications, managing special diets, and assisting with more advanced care such as subcutaneous (IV) fluids. Because of this, I’m very attentive to changes in behavior or health and can provide a higher level of care for pets with medical needs. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their comfort, safety, and overall well-being. I work as a Medical Assistant full time on weekdays from 8 AM to 4:30 PM, but my evenings and weekends are wide open, giving me plenty of flexibility to care for pets. I’m based in Utica and am happy to travel as needed for drop-in visits, walks, or longer stays. This schedule allows me to provide consistent, reliable care while being attentive to pets’ needs. I provide care either in my pet-friendly, secure residence (keycard access) or in the client’s home, depending on their needs. I am flexible and attentive to any special requests, and I have experience caring for pets with medical needs, including administering medications and managing special diets. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities.
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 have always had dogs in my care. Currently, I have two well behaved dogs. One rescued and another with health concerns. I am familiar with medication administration. I am very active and often take my dogs on hikes and walks around the community. My fenced in yard allows dogs to socialize, roam, and enjoy a safe space when not on the trails. Aside from a dog owner, I am a teacher and have availability to take care of pets in my home. I would be available afternoons, evenings, and weekends every week. I live a very active lifestyle and have the property and means to take care of your pet for short and long term visits. In addition exercise, I offer a clean and nurturing environment for your dogs to play with mine. Additionally, I do stop in visits to walk, let out, and feed dogs outside of boarding. I am a mature professional with years of experience. I know the right calls to make while taking care of pets.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for family and friends since I was young. My favorite part is being getting to be outside to take them on walks! I’m also willing to take them out on jogs if they require faster paced activity! I’m currently a student from out of state, so I’m missing taking my pups for walks back home! Edit: I’m back home for the summer (Marcy, NY) and am available Monday - Friday from 6am - 3pm for walks and drop ins. I’ll update my availability again when I head back to school (Morgantown, WV)! I will give your pups full and constant attention while they’re under my supervision, ensuring that they get sufficient exercise and mental stimulation! I’m more than willing to send photos throughout my time with them for updates as well!
“Alexandrea was absolutely amazing with our two cats! Communication with her was easy and she sent us pictures everyday of our cats. First time trying rover and she went above and beyond for us. Not only did she take great care of the cats, she even cleared snow when there was a storm while we were away, so above and beyond what she came to do! I would recommend her to anyone for care of your pets while you’re away.”

Madison handled our zoo wonderfully! She communicated well and often, and sent wonderful pictures of our babies. It's obvious that she really cares about animals, and not having to worry about our dogs and cats meant we could enjoy our trip. Thank you, Madison!!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a New York Mills stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
