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.
“Kathy was very responsible and completely reliable. She provided food, water, and litter cleaning twice a day as agreed. She played with my one kitty who does not hide and took really good pictures of him each day. She dealt with some issues promptly and let me know what was happening. Overall, I cannot say enough good things about Kathy. I would be happy to trust her with cat care again at any time.”
About: Hi there! I've been doing canine caretaking on the Rover platform since 2023. My property is a located on the same street as the McClelland Dog Park, a 5-minute walk. As veteran dog owners, we make regular use of it! Prior to doing Rover, I frequently helped friends and family with their dogs for many years. Nearly everyone I know has pets and I've hosted dozens in my home. My clients love the close proximity to a public park with trails. Currently I have 2 dogs - Ellie and Bishop. My yard is fully fenced and your dog will enjoy plenty of outside play time with Ellie and Bishop, as well as trail walks and trips to the dog park. I also live a 5-minute drive from the nearest veterinary clinic, and I have room for crates. I also offer professional photography services for your pet for an extra fee. Ask about it during your dog's stay if interested! I work a regular day job, but it's very close to home so I come home daily for lunch to and for the dogs and run them in the yard. Off on weekends with fairly open schedule. Ellie and Bishop are exercised daily and worked with often, and are very well behaved with both dogs and people. The backyard is directly connected to a public park with trails. Yard gates are secured with locks and monitored with cameras.
“Brian was fantastic with our three cats. One of the cats required special treatment and Brian provided excellent care. We appreciated his regular updates. We strongly recommend him.”
About: I have always wanted taken care of my pets and everyones in my neighborhood, I get along and everything gets done smoothly when im with them I work only some days in the morning or nights and I can work around my other schedule for any animals when I am needed. I have an open field and a gated one as well and two dogs, I only crate when need be and if asked from someone else.
About: I’ve always had animals my entire life of all sorts and prefer their company. Naturally animals are comfortable in my presence. I am basically Snow White. Pet care is a regular part of my routine that I could easily adapt to your requirements. I work a few hour during the week for a few days and have plenty of time to accommodate your needs. I have fenced yard if necessary for run time. But I can make time to visit the home of your pets for their comfort ability.
“Phoebe really did an outstanding job taking care of our very shy cat. Nugget really opened up to her right away. Very conscientious and caring. Would definitely use her again!”
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.
“Nina took great care of our two senior kitties while we were traveling abroad; she even went to the post office to pick up the pet meds that didn’t arrive on time prior to our departure. We returned home to two relaxed, happy cats. Your pets will be well looked after!”
“She is awesome. Jasper was well taken care of. I will use her again. Elizabeth is a kind, happy young lady who truly loves animals. It was a pleasure to meet her. Reliable / Trustworthy / Fair. I sis not have to worry about Jasper while I was away from home.”

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.

Cat 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!

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 North East 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.
