“Ria was an amazing sitter for us when we left for an international trip for our cat Lily. She takes so many adorable photos and videos that we loved watching while we were away. She was incredibly descriptive with her check-ins and was great with Lily and making sure she checked with us about her feeding habits etc to make sure what was normal for her. We’re so lucky to have found her as we just recently moved to the area and needed a new cat sitter- thanks so much Ria!”
About: Hello & welcome to my profile! I have been blessed by growing up around animals my entire life! My older brother has had dogs as small as a Poodle/Chihuahua mix (Ari) and as large as a Newfoundland (Armand - which I was able to help leash train)! My brother has relied on me multiple times to take care of them, and I do so lovingly! In Ari’s later years, he trusted me to give him his medication, special diet food, and assist him walk around. Additionally, I grew up around cats for as long as I can remember and currently have two of my very own. Not only cats & dogs, but bunnies, gerbils, and guinea pigs are all animals I have taken care of under my own roof! I know that each pet has their own personality and therefore needs specialized care. I know how much I think about my own when I am away from them, and I would be honored to lovingly take care of them so you don’t have to stress it! I currently work full time M-F, but am consistently done with work by 3:00/4:00 pm. This gives me plenty of time to stop by and care for your animals during the week part time, or full time on the weekends! Within my own home, I make sure to be proactive with making sure my cats have fresh water and food in their bowls at consistent times. I do not currently own any pet supplies for a dog and I live in a one bedroom apartment with limited space. I am happy to house smaller animals when need be and take care of all other pets within their own furever home!
“Rachael takes such good care of my cat. He's so comfortable with her and even gave her nose nuzzles. She gave him his shot like a breeze as always! And also cleaned his ears, very carefully. Another A+ visit!”
“Xinlin did a wonderful job with my cat (and my aquarium). Her demeanor was friendly, her timing was prompt (even though I'm lenient with timing windows), and she exudes her affection for felines. She followed my instructions, got some playtime in, and messaged me about any questions she had rather than act on assumptions like I've had other sitters do. Surprisingly, she took some wonderful photos of my cat in action, something that is hard for even ME to do. I'll definitely using her services again. Thanks Xinlin!”
About: Hey!! I’m Kirsten, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets like they’re part of my own family. 🐾 I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my brother and I cared for our own pets and even helped stray animals in our neighborhood. That love for animals has stayed with me throughout my life. I also have hands-on experience working with an animal rescue, where I helped care for 14 dogs and 12 cats. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning, providing basic daily care, keeping the animals comfortable, and—of course—giving them plenty of attention and love. I’ve also provided dog sitting and pet care for others over the years. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and comfortable following your pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I’m currently interested in dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, meals, companionship, or simply someone there to make them feel safe and loved, I’m happy to help. As a mom, I know how much trust it takes to leave someone you love in another person’s care. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pet will be treated with kindness, patience, and lots of love while they’re with me. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! 🐶🐱❤️ I work full time and would be working around my schedule to accommodate the needs of everyone. Each dog will be loved and cared for as anyone else. ❤️❤️❤️ I do not have a fenced in area on my drive. My three other sides are fenced in. Looking to figure out how to fence the driveway. ❤️❤️❤️
“Nicole did a great job with my anxious boy. Not only that but with me as well. I have never used rover before and she talked me through everything. I’m so grateful for her patience and kindness. Thank you again.”
“I can't thank Michaela enough for taking such wonderful care of my cat while I was on vacation! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my kitty was in such loving and responsible hands. I came home to a happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for cat—and a clean litter box too! Michaela sent me updates and photos upon each visit, which truly made my time away so much easier. It’s clear Michaela really loves animals and takes the time to bond with them. I’m so grateful for the attention, affection, and care my kitty received. Highly recommend to any fellow cat parents—Michaela is the best!”
“Robert did a fantastic job doing check in visits with our dogs! He was very communicative and attentive, even making sure they they drank water after their walks. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up always having at least one dog in my home, I now have two. I was tasked with feeding, walking, and playing with them. Often times when neighbors and friends would go out of town I would look after their pets, staying at their house when needed. I have a pretty flexible schedule during the week, I am booked from 11am to 1pm most of the week and from 11am to 4pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays. On the weekends I often go away, but I can likely be available if requested. When caring for someone’s pet I always make sure to follow the instructions given. This can rang from their diet, to their bathroom / walking schedule, to whatever else they may need.
“Dalyce is professional and dependable and a very good communicator. Most importantly, she has a great disposition for both my anxious shephard and super mellow senior. Felt very comfortable knowing they were in her care.”
“Thank you so so much! Alexa was so kind and easy to work with! I would suggest her to anyone! She made my vacation very comforting knowing she took care of my kitties so well with all the pictures! Thank you so much and cannot wait to book in the future for future vacations!”
“Mikayla was a champ today. She got both of my dogs to go outside where one of them is nervous around new people. She followed instructions well and did a great job. Very good communicator and folk lots of pics. Thanks so much!!!”
“This was my first time getting a pet sitter and I couldn’t be happier! My cat is getting old and Stephanie did as great job at not only keeping her company and making sure she was happy, but also keeping me informed on how she was doing. Loved the pictures! I will definitely use her again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in fourth grade. I enjoy working with high energy dogs and can handle dogs of all sizes. I’m currently a student at Bentley University with a reasonably open schedule. I can tend to pet needs during the weekdays and on the weekends. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I provide reliable, attentive care in a calm, positive environment, making sure every walk is safe, engaging, and stress-free. You can trust that your dog will be treated with patience, respect, and the same care I’d give my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pelham
We had a great experience! Jessica was very communicative and kept us updated throughout the visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She did an excellent job managing all three of our dogs—including our senior dog, who is very grumpy and selective about people. She took them all for a walk, made sure they had fresh water, and as requested, gave them a snack before she left. It was clear she was patient, attentive, and comfortable handling different personalities. We would absolutely book with her again!
Jessica was outstanding handling my dog Zeus who's very difficult because her his size at times. She was able to get him to relax and she played with him and stay the extra time with them because she just loves animals. I've tried other cities and without a doubt she's the best one I've come across. Zeus gets all excited when he sees her and that tells me everything I need to know because he doesn't take well with everybody. If you can use her you should You won't be disappointed she's awesome and I highly recommend her.
Jessica was kind and caring to my puppy. She came each day making sure there was fresh water and food. She played with and comforted my dog, giving walks or letting her in the yard to go to the bathroom. Jessica provided detailed messages so I knew how my dog was doing and always took great pictures. I was able to enjoy a vacation knowing my dog was well and taken care of.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
