About: Hello! My name is Caroline. I’m a senior at Wagner College and play on the women’s soccer team. I have two older dogs of my own who I love deeply, and caring for them has taught me how to be patience and how to support pups at every stage. I’m new to Rover, but I’m excited and open to caring for dogs of all kinds. I truly love dogs and am be happy to help families from all over!!!! I’m available for drop‑ins on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. I love spending time with dogs and am committed to giving each visit my full attention and care alongside being a full-time student. I take safety seriously and always make sure pups feel comfortable and cared for. I am thorough and will follow each owner’s instructions closely, whether that means crating, sticking to a feeding routine, or managing medications. I’m attentive, responsible, and committed to creating a safe, trusting environment in any home I’m in.
About: I am a former animal care specialist at Pet N’ Play Luxury Resort, when I was living in upstate NY. Currently living in Staten Island Richmond County, and at the resort I supported cats and dogs for overnight stay at our daycare, as well as the veterinary hospital next door (Middlehope Hospital)! I worked with animals for playtime, feeding, laundry, cleanup, walks, and maintained their health and wellness report cards everyday. I have supported puppies at least 4 months old, blind, deaf, and senior dogs. CATS: I’ve taken care of cats at the hospital, and as a Walden Humane Society Volunteer! Love all cats, but I can only stay at the home if they are hypoallergenic :o at the moment i generally have open availability. i offer dog walks, drop-in, and staying in the pet’s home to offer care! feel free to contact me if you have further questions :) I’m not able to bring pets to my residence, I love to spend time with dogs through use of toys or companionship, walks, talking to them, petting, being by their side, or inviting them to sit with me!
About: My experience includes caring for my cats and playing with my friends' dogs. I am able to take care of them and easily become friendly with animals. I have full time jobs so I available after 6pm on weekday and free any time on weekend. I am free on certain holiday as well with advance notice. I clean my cat litter box and feed them can food and play with them. I play with my cat and train them to do different trick.
“Excellent experience with Lin. She went above and beyond to make sure our cats had everything they needed. Communicating with every visit with pictures and details, letting us know the exact situation, was very helpful to keep us reassured everything was fine.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and know how much love, patience, and attention they need. I treat every pup like family and adjust my care to match their unique personality, whether they’re full of energy like my husky Reina or a little more selective like my nephew Leo. I believe dogs deserve more than just being walked or fed. They deserve companionship, play, and positive interaction throughout the day. My daily routine with Reina includes regular park visits, practicing basic commands, structured walks, and, of course, treat-time only after earning it! I’m strict about cleanliness and always pick up after the dogs in my care. Whether your dog is shy, sassy, or spirited, I have the experience, heart, and energy to make them feel safe, loved, and entertained. Think of me as your pup’s cool auntie who’s all about hugs, structure, and fun! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I walk, play, and train with my husky Reina every day, so adding more pups feels seamless! I enjoy spending my mornings and evenings outdoors, and weekends are perfect for longer walks or park visits. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the week. Whether it’s a quick check-in or extended playtime, I make sure every pet gets the love, interaction, and attention they deserve. Caring for animals brings me joy and helps balance my day with purpose, energy, and lots of wagging tails! In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines. I keep pets calm and happy by following their usual schedules, providing plenty of exercise, cuddles, and mental stimulation. I stay in communication with pet parents, send updates and photos, and make sure their home is left just as I found it. Clean-up, poop pick-up, and proper pet hygiene are always a top priority. I aim to make every pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free.
About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs since I was little, so animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have a loving 7-year-old Pit Bull, and being a pet parent has taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I absolutely love animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that means going for walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company. My family and friends have always trusted me to care for their pets when they’re out of town, busy, or just need an extra hand. I’ve cared for dogs and cats with different personalities and needs, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I want every animal in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and spoiled while their humans are away! My work schedule gives me the flexibility to incorporate pet sitting into my daily and weekly routine. I work throughout New Jersey, so I’m often able to adjust my schedule and make time to care for your pets when they need me. Whether it’s stopping by for a visit, feeding, playtime, or giving them some extra love and attention, I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care while making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. For dog walks, I’ll make sure your pup gets a safe, enjoyable walk with plenty of time to sniff, explore, and get some energy out. For check-ins, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any other needs your pet may have. I’ll also give them plenty of attention and affection so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Old Place
Priscilla was great with my dog! She was communicative and sent pictures during the visit. My dog loved her form the second she walked in the door! Priscilla also was understanding of my dog being a senior pup and having diabetes. Although she did not have to administer insulin during her drop in, she was very accepting that my dog was on a specific diet. I would absolutely recommend Priscilla to anyone!!
Kayla did a wonderful job taking care of everything related to my cats. She followed all of my instructions carefully, cleaned everything very thoroughly, and paid close attention to the details. I really appreciated how reliable and thoughtful she was. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her help again!
Alison was amazing with my puppy! She was reliable, caring, and very attentive to all of his needs. She followed all of the instructions I left and kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and made sure he was happy and comfortable. I would definitely recommend Alison and will absolutely book with her again!
Alexis is wonderful! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter! She put our family at ease when she met us and our two cats before our vacation. She listened and followed through on all their needs while we were away posting great photos and Rover notes after each visit. She is truly caring and made sure the cats had playtime and their medication. We will definitely be contacting her again for future trips!
Cristina took wonderful care of my 4-month-old kitten for a week while my family and I were out of town. She communicated well, responded promptly, and sent us pictures every day. It was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with my kitten and took great care of her. Cristina followed all of my instructions and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Before we returned, she took out the kitty litter garbage and left the bathroom clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Cristina to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and responsible pet sitter!
Sophia was amazing! She came over and followed all directions necessary to take care of my cat while I was away. She sent photos and played with him during every visit. I could tell she is very experienced in pet care and I trusted her with my cat. I would definitely book her again. She was a delight and my cat enjoyed her company!
Paula was responsive and responsible during the booking and meeting process. I have a 12 week old poodle. He has lots of unbridled puppy energy. he is really just learning how to walk on a leash.. Paula was very patient getting the leash and harness on him as well as walking him. I do appreciate that. I would recommend Paula and I would use her for future walks once my dog matures thank you.👍🏽🙌🏽🙏
As always Noelle and Victor went above and beyond for our pups. Sundae is very timid and warmed up to them right away, that’s how you know they’re great. And Chili was super excited to see them which is no surprise, they’re besties lol. Thank you guys so much!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 request a 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.
