“Erin was super responsive, easy to communicate with, and reliable. Our cat, Stella, is extremely timid and nervous with new people, but Erin still managed to get some pictures of Stella so we could check in while we were away. We definitely recommend Erin and will look to use her drop in services again for future trips!”
“Micaela was FANTASTIC!! Not only did she always reply quickly, she was very accommodating. She sent us multiple photos everyday and made a great connection with our cat. Would recommend her to anyone!”
About: After 15 years with my dog, I’ve transitioned to being the go-to dog walker and sitter for my family and friends, and am excited to ! I have experience caring for dogs in every phase of life, from the energetic puppy days, to the senior days that required more attention. I understand firsthand what it takes to look after an aging dog, from mobility issues, to medication schedules, to just understanding an individual dog’s quirks. But, I’m just as comfortable with the energy and playfulness of puppies and young dogs, and I adjust my approach to fit whatever stage of life a dog is in. Working from home with limited meetings allows me to dedicate the time and care to dogs that they deserve, and I don’t mind the company myself! Whether your dog needs a walk, backyard exercise, feeding, a drop-in check, or someone to cuddle with on the couch while you’re away, I can accommodate your pet's needs! I treat every dog I meet with the love, kindness, and affection that I gave my dog, and I can’t wait to share that with more local dogs! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be with pets all day and go for regular bathroom breaks/walks during the day as well. I am also available on weekends! When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their instructions, my goal is to keep their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, same feeding times, walk schedule, and any medications, so there’s minimal disruption while they’re away. I also make sure to give plenty of one-on-one attention and playtime, keep the home secure and tidy, and stay alert to any changes in behavior, eating, or energy level. I’m also careful with yard safety, checking that fences and gates are secure before letting a dog out and keeping an eye on them the whole time, rather than assuming a fenced yard means no supervision is needed. I also always keep the owner updated with photos or messages during the stay
“Anahi is a wonderful person and sitter! She is friendly, kind, and a great communicator. I was very nervous as it was my first time using the site to find a sitter, but I made the right choice booking Anahi. I was not expecting my shy cat to interact with her right away, but from the first visit, she was sharing pictures of them playing together, and him seeking her out for affection as she walked in on the second visit. I do believe animals are a great judge of character and I will be booking her for my next trip. Highly recommend.”
“Tori has been an amazing help! She’s looked over my cat twice now and has done a great job of communicating with me while keeping my cat comfortable! I had to extend my vacation last minute and Tori was very understanding and accommodating with everything. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
About: Hi there! I’m a veterinary technician at Sea Girt Animal Hospital, where I’ve been caring for pets for the past five years. Working with animals is truly my passion—I love getting to know each dog and cat’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies who love to play to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’m also skilled in giving medications (oral, topical, or injectable if needed) and keeping up with any special routines your pet may have. At home, I’m a proud dog mom to one wonderful pups who keep me smiling every day. Whether it’s going for walks, snuggling, playing fetch, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every furry friend like part of my own family. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for—and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages while you’re away! I am currently working at a veterinary hospital and attending school Monday-Thursday 4:30 to 9:30. I am free all day Wednesday until school and free all day Friday. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding times, walks, playtime, and any medications—so they feel right at home even when you’re away. As a veterinary technician with 5 years of experience at Sea Girt Animal Hospital, I’m trained to notice even small changes in a pet’s behavior or health. I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for puppies and senior dogs, and providing gentle, attentive care for pets with special needs. In your home, I always respect your space and your pet’s routine, keeping everything clean and consistent. In my home, pets have a calm, safe environment with plenty of attention, belly rubs, and love. I also make sure to send lots of photo and message updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for!
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve done all the chores that come with them. I’ve had a big dog and a little dog almost my entire life. My big dog is now older, so I have to help him with his arthritis. I’ve had to pick up poop, feed them, walk them, and massage him. I don’t have a job currently, so I’m free for anyone’s convenience! Besides when I have to go to the gym, or when im on vacation. I have a fenced yard and a specific place for them to use the bathroom outside, and also have a pee pee pad inside that I switch out twice a day.
About: Hello 😁 I have experience with dogs of all sizes but have an extra space in my heart for larger breeds. I grew up with 4 cats, so I’m no stranger to them either! All animals in my care receive “I love you’s” when I leave, and are talked to throughout the day. I truly treat them like they’re mine. If I get the privilege of an overnight sit, you will always come back to a clean home, guaranteed ✨ I work from home, so I’m always available for longer sits as well as shorter visits and walks. Weekdays and weekends are great, I just like to plan ahead as much as possible. I make sure to honor specific and detailed instructions so that I can provide the same level as care as you do! I want your babies to feel like you never left. I’ll never fill your shoes, but I will surely try 🙂
“This was the 1st time having Stephanie watch our little kitty & she was excellent! Very reliable & our little girl seemed very content from all the pics & updates Stephanie sent each visit. Would highly recommend her & will definitely book her again when we're out town.”
About: I volunteered at an animal shelter in NC for 2 years. Mostly walking dogs with a few fosters as well. Experienced with big and small dogs. I have a hybrid work schedule. Work remote Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Typically available on the weekends and love to have a dog to hike with. Unfortunately, unable to have pets in my home due to apartment restrictions. But available to come to your home and provide all care. Experience with reactive dogs.
“I had the pleasure of having Tania watch my dog and cat over the weekend, and i couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I met her it was clear that our pets were in good hands. Tania was incredibly punctual, and, most importantly, showed genuine affection and care for both of my furry family members. Throughout the weekend, I received regular updates and adorable photos, which reassured us that my pets were happy and well-cared for. Our dog can be quite rambunctious , but he took to Tania’s calm and friendly demeanor. She took the time to understand each pet's personality and needs, ensuring they were comfortable and content. When I returned home, my dog and cat were relaxed, well-exercised, and clearly had a wonderful time. It's evident that Tania is passionate about animals and takes her job seriously. I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care provided and would highly recommend Tania to anyone in need of a reliable and loving pet sitter. We look forward to booking her again in the future! Thank you, for taking such excellent care of our pets!”
“Jon is a cat whisperer. A cat magnet. We were worried about leaving our two 1-1/2 year old cats for 10 days to take a family visit. There was absolutely nothing to be worried about. Even the very shy cat greeted Jon at the door every day and gave him nose kisses. Your pets deserve the care of Jon.”
“Sofia is the best! She is so very kind and professional— she took the booking for me last minute when I was in a pinch and went out of her way to accommodate me and my kitty. I felt my cat was so safe and so well cared for in her hands! Thank you Sofia!!”
“Laurel was awesome with my baby, and very attentive and went above and beyond. I loved the care my kitten received, and my kitten seemed to love being in her company. Definitely will be a recurring customer and highly recommend ??.”
“Heather has been an occasional caregiver for our puppy, Jerry and our cat, Lola for the last 4 months. She was the first person to puppy sit for Jerry after we got him, and we are so glad that we found her through Rover! Heather assists with last minute dog walks, holiday pet sitting for the cat, as well as drop-ins. She is consistently reliable, and we've always felt 100% comfortable leaving her to care for the pets. We are so happy that she lives just down the road and will definitely be using her for future pet sitting!”
About: I am experienced, professional pet caregiver who has worked at dog day care and SPCA. Medically trained in dog CPR and love, love all pets! I currently work from home so can care for your pets at any time! I can easily work from your home or stop in at any time! I will respect and follow all Pet parent instructions to ensure your pet is well cared for and loved, just like you are always there!
“Mary was awesome. She accommodated a pretty short notice request for our first time for a drop-in. And while our dogs can be anxious around new people, she had no concerns and took them out and played with them and they had a blast. We will definitely be using her services again.”

I just used Meghan for a 10 day trip out of town. She made it here in bad weather, when it wasn’t always convenient for her. She always goes above and beyond and loves my puppy and he loves her.! She’s a real animal lover and a total pro in every respect. Don’t hesitate to employ her. You will not regret it. I’m so very thankful that I found her . Thank you, Meghan !
Sabrina was amazing!! She took such great care of my fur babies! She was very responsive, sent photos during each visit, and gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I really appreciated how sweet and attentive she was with them. I’ll definitely be booking her again!
Maximillian kept us up to date on both our cat and dog throughout his visits with them. We felt very comfortable leaving them with him as we travelled across the world! He will be with them again later this month and we are very happy about it. Highly recommend!!
Keith is an angel who helped us during an emergency when our dog had separation anxiety on vacation. He went above and beyond. He is respectful, trustworthy, great with communication, and my dog absolutely loved him! An amazing person with a huge heart. Keith is the greatest of all time.
Jon was fantastic with my two cats, spending even more time with them than agreed upon. Over several visits on a long weekend, he gave them excellent care and lots of play. The sociable one fell for him immediately, and even my nervous girl warmed up over a short time. He’s got great energy and a clear love of animals. Book him today!
Daniela was reliable, communicative, and kind. She provided our 3 cats with consistency and entertainment while we were away! and got even our most skittish cat to feel comfortable and look forward to her visits. Thank you so much - would book again without hesitation!
Heather was GREATTTT with my dog. She checked in consistently and responded quickly with no issues. I had no worries about my doggy at all I knew she was in great hands. She paid attention to her very well and updated us through the day. Book her and you’ll see!! 😊
Melissa is a wonderful pet sitter! She did drops ins for my two cats. She washed dirty bowls that my cats used after eating. I thought that was so thoughtful of her to do this. She also took pictures of my pets , the pet food she fed them, as well as the cat pen area that she cleaned, everyday. In addition, she came over the day it was supposed to snow, on very short notice, for additional drop in visits. I asked her if she could do drops ins the day before, for this day. And even though it was short notice for this additional booking, she agreed to do the drop ins. I was relieved to not have to travel back home, an hour away, in inclement weather, the next day. I am so grateful for her hard work and for excepting my last minute booking, without much prior notice. Melissa is a reliable , flexible and kind pet sitter! I highly recommend her!

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.

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.

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 .
