About: I’ve taken care of my sweet senior dog for all of his nearly 18 years. I fully understand that seniors need a little extra love and attention 🩵 I’ve also been the default dog and cat sitter for friends when they have needed it. I have experience giving medicine and eye drops for dogs. I’m also happy to learn any other medical care needs if needed! My little guy passed recently, so I’m just here to give your fur babies some love while you are away 🩵 I work from home, so I’m pretty flexible and can take breaks midday to walk and play. I’m available for boarding most work days and weekends. I live on a quiet street that is great for walks, and there is also an open yard for quick potty breaks. I have no other pets in the home and only take one client at a time, so your pets will have my full attention!
“Thank you so much, Anna, for taking such wonderful care of my cat! You were very attentive and thoughtful, and everything looked great while I was away. I truly appreciate your help and would be happy to book with you again!”
“Jenny was great & we will absolutely be using her again. She took such great care of our cat Hopper while we were gone (she even put on cat TV for him because he would cry when she left). She was communicative and thorough giving us great recaps and photos for every visit! She went above and beyond!”
About: I’ve been dog walking for about 3 years and have had the opportunity to care for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Over time, I’ve learned that every dog is different, so I always try to approach them calmly and patiently and let them get comfortable with me at their own pace. On my days off, I enjoy spending my free time with dogs, so pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I’m usually available from the morning through the afternoon, anytime before 4 PM. I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine and make sure they get a comfortable and enjoyable walk. 🐶 Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and take time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and specific needs. During walks, I stay attentive to their surroundings and make sure they are safe and comfortable at all times.
About: While I’ve never had a cat or dog (parental allergies), I’ve always loved them! My neighbors had cats and dogs so growing up I spent a lot of time around them and helped take care of them. I especially enjoy long walks :) I work from home two days a week so my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to spend my free time with furry friends! Your pets’ safety and comfort are my top priorities! I’ll be attentive to your pets’ needs and ensure they always feel happy, safe, and loved.
“She is very kind to our cats and they love her. She has no problems, giving them their insulin. She is very thorough and takes out the litter and the garbage when needed. I am so happy that we found her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their babies.”
About: I have fostered a 4 month old poodle for 2 months. I’d say I personally have more experience babysitting than pet sitting but that being said, I have a huge heart for nurturing and caring I am currently working a part time job but my schedule is pretty flexible so I have a lot of time on my hands! My daily/weekly routine just consists of working and hanging out with friends! Unfortunately I can not host pet sitting at my home for my land owner doesn’t allow pets inside, but if I were to work at your home, I would act accordingly with respect!
“We had such a great experience with Philsung! It was our first time booking him, and everything went so smoothly. He was super punctual, very friendly, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. He played with our three cats, sent lots of cute photos and updates, and kept everything clean (including scooping the litter). He’s also really easy to communicate with and made us feel totally at ease while we were away. Our cats clearly liked him too! We’ll definitely book with him again next time — highly recommend!”
“This is my second time working with Clifmon– he stayed with my cat over the 4th of July weekend and took great care of her. I even reached out to him with a same-day request to see if he could stay with her an additional night and he accommodated that very graciously. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, and caring companion for their pet!”
About: I can't remember a time when I did not have a pet in my life. Probably because there never was such a time! Mostly dogs, but, I have also been a proud cat owner. I have cared for friends' pets, and I understand that leaving your fur baby with someone requires trust. For several decades, I have chosen to adopt my animals from shelters. I can tell you that it has taught me to appreciate that every animal is different, with their own personality, quirks, routines, and needs. Our pets are part of our family. And, yes, they make mistakes at times, create messes, get into places they shouldn't. They're only human, after all! I promise to bring the same patience, care, and affection I show to my animals into every interaction I have with yours. I am available to walk your dog(s) and will be sure to take then on walks as long or short as you recommend, up to 40 minutes. I can stay and play with your pet for a while, as well. I will work within your guidelines and your pet's routine. I am also available for short overnight stays in your house. I am available for walking, playing, feeding, whatever you need. I will come to your home and am available for short overnight stays, if needed. Overnight stays will fall between 8:00 PM and 8:00 AM. I am available weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I will work within your boundaries. You know your pet best, so tell me what they need, whether that's a long walk, extra water after play, specific treats at specific times, or simply making sure they’re comfortable in their crate or free to roam. You tell me what works for your pet, and I’ll follow their routine. They’re your family, and I’m here to help. Please note, short-term overnight stays are available between 8:00 PM - 8:00 AM.
“Ambroja is great. She was timely in her visits and kept our cat well fed and entertained during our absence, sending us photos and short videos every time. It was our first time using a cat sitter and she made the process feel very easy and straightforward.”
“Mya was truly a blessing and the perfect kitty sitter! She was extremely attentive and loving to my two little spoiled cats. She was always on time and spent a lot of quality time with them. They were instantly in love with and felt super comfortable with her. I was away for work at my new job and wanted to fully committed without worrying. She sent many cute pictures and just went above and beyond. Hire her! But not when I need her 😅 (jk) you won’t regret it. ♥️”
About: As a lifelong dog owner and dedicated pet lover, I bring years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Having raised and cared for my own dogs throughout my life, I fully understand the deep responsibility and attention to detail required to keep a pet healthy, safe, and happy. In addition to caring for my own pets, I am the go-to dog sitter for my friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it’s staying over for multi-day house sitting, providing midday check-ins, or leading energetic daily walks, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I am experienced with maintaining precise feeding schedules, administering medications, reinforcing basic training, and giving plenty of play time and belly rubs. When your dog is with me, you can expect open communication, regular photo updates, and complete peace of mind knowing your pup is in caring, trustworthy hands I work from home which means my schedule is flexible! I can help out in between meetings and work with a dogs needs as long as I know ahead of time. If it is okay with you, I also can work from your house and even bring my dog (if your dog is friendly) to spend extra time with the pup! Leash & Apartment Safety: Residing in an apartment means I am highly attentive during on-leash neighborhood walks, always keeping a firm grip, staying alert to surrounding distractions, and ensuring secure building entries and exits. Off-Leash & Trail Expertise: I regularly take my own well-trained dog to off-leash dog parks and hiking trails for exercise. While I only keep dogs off-leash with explicit owner permission, I am skilled at managing energy and maintaining control in open environments.
About: I have taken care of and played with my own, also neighbors and friends dogs and cats. I am extremely reliable and energetic. I have played with fed, administered medication, walked, brushed, cuddled and had taken pets to be groomed along with showing them unconditional love. I work part time also have a lot of free time and energy to keep your pet company, feed, walk and care for all your pets needs both young and older pets. I can only take care of hypoallergenic dogs in my home because of asthma issues with my spouse. We are a smoke free household as well. I do not have children at home or any other pets so all my focus is on your fur babies. I have a very walkable neighborhood and a fenced in yard. I will make sure I keep your pet safe and comfortable in my home and yours. I am capable of administering any medications if needed. I will send you pictures and updates of my visits if wanted. I am very responsible and take pride in the safety and comfort of your pet.
“Brionna is AMAZING! I have a 2 year old cat that I recently adopted and was nervous as this was the first time I would ever be away from my kitty but Brionna’s calm and kind demeanor quickly put me at ease! She was so communicative leading up to the visit and throughout. Her daily photos and remarks let me know that Tortellini was safe, cared for and comfortable! Highly recommend and I’ll definitely be asking her to take care of Tortellini again :)”
“I booked a date with Esther and Jay so we could meet each other. I also thought it would give my cat an opportunity to become familiar with them. They arrived exactly on day and time we planned. Esther and Jay are warm and friendly and I found them a joy to have in my home. They asked good questions and I knew they would be wonderful caretakers for my cat. Now if I have to travel, I know my cat and my home will be well looked after.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Palisades Park
Wen is simply the best. Knowing she is with my kitty for short trips or long stretches where I have to be away is so reassuring. She takes the best pictures, is helpful with keeping an eye on the place. She goes above and beyond. I feel lucky to have found her and my kitty definitely loves her buddy.
Sparky is our first fur baby, and for years we relied on a trusted neighbor whenever we were away. When our neighbor recently moved, we were honestly stressed about the thought of finding someone we can trust. After interviewing several candidates across different platforms, we chose Alexa. Not only did she have great experience with her own cats and dogs, but Sparky took an immediate liking to her the very first time they met. Alexa absolutely delivered. She listened carefully to every detail we shared and gave Sparky wonderful care and attention. She is incredibly thoughtful and proactive, too—when Sparky coughed up a hairball on our sofa, she cleaned it right up before we even knew about it. We loved the regular photo updates while we were away, and coming home after two weeks to a happy, healthy Sparky greeting us with a resounding meow meant the world. Thank you, Alexa! We will definitely be reaching out again for future trip.
Jenny was absolute perfection, following every single detail of our care instructions without missing a beat. She kept us constantly in the loop with helpful updates and pictures so we always knew how our cats were doing. When unexpected changes arose with our cats' needs, she accommodated our last-minute extra requests. Knowing they were in such attentive hands made being away completely stress-free!
Amanda as always is reliable to not only take care of our cat but ensure we are up to date on how she's doing, behaving, etc. Great communication and flexible when our plans shift. She is our go to cat sitter and we feel reassured she'll take close care of our cat when we are out of town.
Jenny took amazing care of my two cats, Millie and Annie. She made sure all their needs were met and kept me up to date on everything including hairballs and a day my more finicky girl had a so-so appetite. She also made sure they got pets and play, took tons of great pics, and left things looking great for when we returned home! I always stress leaving my girls to go away- with Jenny I’ve had the best peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Absolute recommend!
She is very kind to our cats and they love her. She has no problems, giving them their insulin. She is very thorough and takes out the litter and the garbage when needed. I am so happy that we found her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their babies.
Carolina was very polite, sweet, and communicative. When she experienced a commute delay on day one, she was proactive about keeping us updated with frequent ETAs. She was very gentle and clearly cares about animals, though her play style leans more toward calm affection and casual rather than the high-intensity hunting play that our high-drive cat needs. She made a good effort and would be a wonderful match for calmer, affectionate, or senior pets looking for gentle company.

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.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
