About: I am a 20 year old who’s been an animal lover my whole life. I grew up with small dogs, big dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks, and more, each one giving a new experience. All animals have these things in common, and it’s just wanting to be treated with care, feel safe, and live comfortably. With your pet in my hands, they will guaranteed be treated with extra care and will have my patience. From excited and cuddly to shy and reserved, each animal will be respected and have their boundaries. Boarding and day care should be available in the future! Right now I am doing walks, drop ins, and in your home sitting. My schedule can get wonky, so please give me time to plan out your booking by reaching out at LEAST 3 days in advance especially so we can do a meet and greet beforehand. I look forward to meeting your pets! Sitting will usually be done at your home. I plan to start boarding after getting my own place but that is something me and my partner are currently working on. But while I am in your home, I will let you set the rules, and make sure to be respectful of your living space especially with your pet present.
About: I am a mature, responsible, animal lover. I have had dogs and cats pretty much all my life. I currently have 3 senior dogs of my own, and I dote on them like they are my children. I truly believe that pets are important family members, and they deserve all of the love and attention that we can provide. I do currently work full time, but I have free time in the evenings and on the weekends. I am also close to retirement, which will allow me more time to provide pet care I can provide care in your home. I can provide potty breaks, play time, walking, and feeding. I love being around animals and spoiling them with love and affection.
About: I have taken care of every dog small medium large I love all them I will spoil them when they are at my home I will keep updates and pictures and all. I am home 24/7 I don’t work I would like to start this and this will be my work. I love taking care of animals I love dogs. I have nothing else to do so nothing effects my routine or daily living I will have a fenced in yard beginning of the summer I will have lots of toys and a small swimming pool in the backyard like a kiddy pool. I will have everything they need.
About: I've always been an animal lover and have spent years caring for pets for family, friends, neighbors, and my dad's clients. Being the person people trust with their pets is something I take seriously and truly enjoy. I love getting to know each pet's personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, cat care, or house sitting, I treat every pet like part of the family. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. Right now, I have an open and flexible schedule while I’m looking for work, so I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the day. I offer dependable, detail-oriented pet care for dogs, cats, and small animals such as rabbits, reptiles, and fish. My approach is centered on consistency, safety, and comfort following each pet’s routine closely while providing calm, attentive care. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, walks, or companionship, I make sure every pet feels relaxed, respected, and cared for like family.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North East
Kathleen (Kay) was wonderful! Leaving my two cats for a week was hard. Kay made it easier. She likes to have a face-to-face meeting before watching the cats, which is something I really wanted as well. We had a wonderful meeting going over details and quirks about my cats and getting to know her. I knew right away that my special friends would be in very caring hands. While we were gone, Kay always sent numerous photos every day of my cats. The photos showed that she was interacting with them, and I could see them warming up to her. I could tell that she was working to befriend them. I really appreciate that! I also want to commend Kay for keeping things very clean. When we got home, the area around the food and the litter boxes was very clean. I would definitely recommend Kay to anyone needing pet care! She's a nice person who loves animals and will treat yours as if they were hers.
Kay (Kathleen) has been so good with our cat, and is gentle, caring and just loves spending time with our furry friend. We were out of town recently for 8 days, and Kay stopped over twice a day, each day, to feed and give treats to our cat. We strongly recommend hiring Kay if you need someone to watch your pet!
Kathleen was GREAT! She catered well to my more skittish cat, making sure she was taken care of without being overwhelmed. And she played with my friendly little guy to ensure he was getting exercise while I was away. After talking to her about her pets, I felt really comfortable trusting her with my babies. She understood my (slightly crazy) overprotective nature and need to spoil my cats!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in North East is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 187 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across North East. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Before booking, confirm:
- 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 .
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 , 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
