“Andrew was a very last minute booking as my family member whom usually keeps an eye on TIMO has been sick and I was taking a multi day trip and needed someone to keep an eye on TIMO (he loves play time and companionship!). I met Andrew on the morning that I was leaving and agreed to keep an eye on him. He dropped by later that afternoon to start his sessions and Timo welcomed him in. Each time Andrew came back Timo would welcome him at the door and was looking forward to playtime! Also Andrew would send timely communications and pictures and usually a short video clip of playtime 🐱and usually would stay a tad extra each time! Additionally there was one day that Timo pulled out a power cable connecting his water fountain feeder and thermostat and he was able to identify the source and plug it back in. I’m so very happy TIMO was able to warm up to Andrew quickly and would highly recommend for anyone looking for the care of their cat .. with care as if it was his own pet. Also, Timo wants to thank Andrew for bringing him a new toy and genuinely loving playtime every day. Thank you 😸”

My schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of pet-care needs throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and other care needs, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for both you and your pet. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care while making your pet feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. Safety and trust are at the heart of my pet care services. I ensure every visit is calm, secure, and tailored to your pet’s comfort. I keep a close eye on their environment—ensuring they have a safe space, secure handling, and plenty of enrichment. You can rest assured that your pet is in caring, experienced hands every step of the way.
About: I loveee animals. I grew up with many pets from cute little bunnies, turtles, lizards, birds, dogs and everything in between. I’m very caring which will show in everything I do. Your babies will be my babies, I promise :) I currently work full-time as an elementary teacher. I’m available for boarding your babes on weekends, and weekdays after 4pm. Sometimes I’m off on holidays and I would board then as well. We will always have a great time. Your babe will be free to roam my apartment under my supervision, of course. I also have a large yard, but will keep him on a leash. I can also crate him or her if you prefer. Either way, we will have tons of fun together.
“Ashley doesn't just take care of our two high-maintenance cats - she makes sure everything in the house is safe, secure, and comfortable while we are away! I know it's all in good hands when Ashley is here.”
“Janice was absolutely amazing! It was my first time needing a pet sitter and I was a bit nervous but thanks to Janice I was actually able to enjoy my vacation. She is very kind and you can tell she loves animals, she treated my babies as her own and went above and beyond!! I will definitely be using her again in the future. I cannot stress enough how amazing she is.”
About: I have hands on experience with many types of pets! I volunteered for a year at the Bergen County Protect & Rescue Foundation, caring for pit bulls and cats and learning to handle different temperaments with patience and confidence. I also grew up caring for two dogs for 15 years and regularly help friends and family with dog care. I’m attentive, gentle, and reliable, and I take time to understand each pet’s routine and needs. I’m currently fully flexible and available. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine, and I’m able to accommodate walks, drop ins, extended visits, and overnight care as needed. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work around your pet’s schedule. I prioritize safety, comfort, and respect for each pet’s routine. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and pets are welcome on my couch and bed. I use clean, designated blankets on furniture so pets can relax comfortably while keeping the space tidy. I also have an entire floor of my home dedicated to a quiet, pet friendly environment where pets can stay with me and feel secure. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely and keep pets safe, comfortable, and well supervised.
“Kathy kindly accomodated my last minute request. She took lovely pictures of the dogs, and left me a very detailed description of what she did for them. The dogs obviously liked her too. I would definitely use her services again!”
About: Hey there! My wife (Sam) and I (Jen) are an animal-loving couple, and looking for a new way to spend our afternoons with some furry friends. Our days can be pretty flexible as Sam and I both work from home, and we thought what better way to earn a little extra cash while doing something we're both passionate about! We both have a decent amount of experience caring for both dogs and cats! Pablo (9 years) and Boots (8 years) are our two ever-loving boy cats that we adore a little too much. Sam and I grew up with dogs, and also frequently dog sit for our neighbors and friends. We'd love to have the opportunity to meet your fur baby and care for them! :) Sam and I work from home, so our schedules are pretty flexible! We’re able to take multiple breaks for playtime, walks, cuddles, feeding, etc. We love having furry company while we work - it’s a win/win! We are very attentive and to our boys’ needs at home and we’ll always bring that level of attention and care to every pet we look after. Whether it comes to strategically placing a sunny perch for their lazy afternoon lounging, to buying them a new set of toys because they get ruined every couple of months, their comfort, happiness and safety is our priority. We’ll take the time to learn your pet’s personality, routines, and individual needs so they feel as comfortable and at home as possible. Your fur babies will be met with plenty of love, care, attention, and of course, lots of cuddles <3

About: As someone who has had many fur babies, I understand how hard it can be to leave them! My goal is to make that experience less stressful and ensure that you are stress free while away. I have had extensive experience caring for animals ranging from dogs and cats to reptiles, amphibians, fish, guinea pigs, mice, rats and hamsters. I currently have a cat and guinea pigs but have had all of the prior listed animals at one point or another. I am comfortable doing care for special needs animals and don’t mind the extra time that they need. I am available on short notice and during some odd hours due to grad school. I am a current grad student so I have flexible timing as well as last minute availability. I am available most weekdays after 3pm and anytime on the weekends.

I am also trained in animal cpr and am comfortable dealing with any special needs an animal has as well as any emergencies that may arise.

I am starting graduate school and I have a flexible schedule and availability for stop-ins during the day or bringing study materials to a client’s home. My yard is fenced in and I can take dogs for a walk in Brookdale Park nearby. I will administer medicine and play with dogs and provide them with a cuddly environment.
“Serena did a wonderful job checking in on my cat while I was away for the weekend. She sent me plenty of photos and made sure to spend ample time playing with and taking care of her.”
“Gabi was an incredibly attentive, caring sitter for our kitty! She provided house sitting for four nights, and did a fabulous job. We returned home to a very relaxed, happy kitty with no stress. We could tell from the regular updates that she got lots of play time and kept to her routine very well. Gabi loved on Shootki so much and it's clear she absolutely loves and understands cats! We felt confident being away, and not worried. We would highly recommend Gabi for house sitting kitties, as she is caring, great with cat care, and very responsible!”
“Paige did a great job checking in on our two cats while we were away. She has awesome energy, is super polite, and was very easy to work with. She sent good updates and clearly cares a lot about animals. Definitely glad we booked with her!”

About: Hi! I started helping my mom dog-sit at my house ever since I was 6. I work at a dog day care and boarding so I am around dogs quite a lot! I own two cats (one indoor, one outdoor) and they are polar opposites! :) Around 7-8am I feed the dogs breakfast, A little after I take the dogs on a nice walk and if not too tired I let them roam free and play in my back yard till dinner time. My backyard has fences around and water bowls. Sometime if really hot | bring out the sprinkler. In someone else home I find it easier to take the dogs to a local dog park/park.

Mariana was absolutely wonderful! She was extremely considerate, attentive, and thoughtful when caring for both of my fur babies, Loki and Pantera. They both adored her, which speaks volumes! 🐾 Even while I was away, she went out of her way to send me updates, giving me that extra peace of mind knowing my babies were in such good hands. Mariana is incredibly professional, reliable, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Her kindness and genuine love for animals truly shine through. It’s not always easy trusting someone with your pets, but she made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️
Christina is AMAZING!!! She’s taken care of my cats a few times now, and every time she’s gone above and beyond, treating my fur babies like her own. They are both anxious cats, but love when Christina visits and plays with them while I’m away. I would recommend her to anyone needing drop-ins and boarding for their pets. 🥰
Nicole has been a great sitter for my two cats. We were away for a week and she took really good care of them. My cats have special needs and she followed my request diligently. Her background as a vet tech allows her to handle my cats with confidence and care. She FaceTimed me everyday during the visit so I had great peace of mind. She was very gentle with the cats and they love her. I’ll surely book her again for my next vacation.
Sabrina was absolutely wonderful! Finding her was a true blessing, especially after a bad experience with a previous pet sitter. She was so caring and paid extraordinary attention to detail during every drop-in visit. We will definitely be rebooking with her for all of our future trips!
Caitlin took great care of my 2 cats for a week! She was on time, followed their instructions well, and sent nice summaries. One of my cats is very skittish and she came out to eat and hang out when Caitlin was there. Caitlin spent solid time with them which is very appreciated. Thank you for the peace of mind!!
Geoff took excellent care of our two cats, Dexter and DeeDee, while we were away on vacation for a week. He was reliable, followed all of our instructions, and kept us updated after each visit with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book Geoff again. Highly recommended!
Melissa was the best care taker for my 3 cats including my elderly one! I was traveling for my daughter’s wedding and this was the first time I didn’t have any available family members to care after my cats. Melissa took great care of them and I didn’t have to worry or stress about if my cats were okay while I was away. I would highly recommend her!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.

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 .
