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.
“Amanda is the best! Extremely reliable and knows how to cater to each of our cats’ individual needs!

We’ve already booked her for July and will definitely ask her to take care of our cats again!”

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, I know how important your baby is, my goal is to give your dog safe and happy visits! I am currently on summer break for college so I have a mostly open schedule! I work some days at Aroma Joes and all my other time I am free. I always greet dogs slowly by letting them sniff my hand and get used to my scent, I have walked dogs since a kid and know how to handle dogs that pull.
“Lucille is everything you would want for pet care. She’s thorough, experienced & reliable. Even when I feel like I’m being over the top she will think of something I’m not! She’s so good with animals, your pet will sense her genuine affection & feel safe & loved. They are in good hands until your back.”
“Cassidy has watched our cat two times, and each time was superb! She is super reliable, communicative, and caring for our cat. We absolutely trust her to be in our space, checking on our cat, and could not be happier to have had her help. Highly recommend!”
About: I've taken pet care seriously since my childhood dog passed away several years ago. I have taken care of senior dogs, and currently a hyperactive dog I've had since she was 3 months old. I previously worked at Petsmart, so I can administer medication to a variety of pets, including lizards and birds! You can trust me with your puppy, houstrained or not, up to your oldest, biggest dog. I also take care of the family cat and love spending time with cats in general. During the weekdays and weekends I have all the time in the world for your pet as needed! Early days or late nights are just fine. Whatever your pet wants or needs, I can give 100%. They can get up on the couch with me, I will give them long walks and they'll get plenty of belly rubs and treats! For cats they're such picky little rascals that I will adjust to their needs, whether that's playing or giving them space.
About: Although I don't have professional pet care experience, I've been a loving pet owner for many years. I cared for my dog for over 10 years and currently have a cat I've cared for for 5 years. I'm responsible, patient, and passionate about giving pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. Hi! I'm a college student studying Biochemistry on the pre-med track with a lifelong love for animals. As a dedicated pet owner and animal lover, I understand the importance of providing pets with attentive, compassionate care. I'm available on weekends and some evenings, and I'd be happy to help care for your furry family members while giving you peace of mind. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow your instructions and maintain your pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable while you're away. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I'll make sure your pet receives attentive care, plenty of affection, and a safe environment at all times.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 7 years old, when I got my first cat. My parents wanted to teach me the responsibility that comes with having a pet, and from that moment on I developed a lifelong love for animals. As I got older, I began helping neighbors by walking their dogs, refreshing food and water, and providing companionship throughout the day. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for pets of all ages and needs, from energetic puppies to senior pets requiring extra patience and attention. I am comfortable administering medications, caring for multiple pets in a household, providing drop-in visits, and offering overnight care when needed. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I strive to follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while their owners are away. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care and treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession and a central part of my daily routine. For the past two years, I have worked in the pet care industry full-time, which allows me to dedicate my schedule to meeting the needs of the pets and families I serve. My days are structured around walks, drop-in visits, feedings, medication administration, playtime, and providing companionship and care. Because pet care is my primary focus, I have the flexibility to accommodate a variety of schedules, including daytime visits, evenings, weekends, and overnight care when needed. I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I provide supervised leash walks and leashed outdoor time so pets can safely enjoy fresh air, exercise, and enrichment. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality and needs, and I carefully follow owner instructions to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I also share my home with my two cats, who are truly my pride and joy. They are incredibly sweet, friendly, and well-loved members of my family. Because their safety and comfort are important to me, I’m selective about welcoming other animals into my home. This means my availability for boarding is limited and depends on whether a pet is a good fit for my household. I want every animal in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I’m happy to use crates if requested and will do my best to maintain your pet’s normal schedule, whether that means feeding times, medications, walks, playtime, or quiet cuddle sessions. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, you can expect dependable communication, consistency, and compassionate care. I treat every pet like one of my own and strive to provide a safe, loving, and low-stress experience for both pets and their families.
“Liz is fantastic! She cared for my two cats and did a wonderful job. My Maine Coon is very cautious around new people and he connected with Liz very quickly. She came over for a meet and greet before our sitting dates and followed all of the items I had discussed with her on each visit. Great person to work with. Highly recommend her!”
“Walter was so courteous and showed up on time every day and I could tell me animals were taken care of. He even offered more support for the animals for an extended period when my travel was impacted by the snow. He came 2x a day for my dogs and played with them and even stayed extra time s few times, and was able to give them medications and feed them, along with my cats as well. He was also very communicative, and followed instructions. I can tell my animals are happy. I will be using Walter again!”
“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!!!”
About: With over 16 years of personal experience as a dedicated Maltese dog owner, I understand that pets are more than just animals-they are cherished family members. I know firsthand the specific care, patience, and attention to detail that pets require to feel safe and happy. I'm dependable, taking my responsibilities seriously and ensure your pet's routine/requirements are met! Taking the summer off from working in the school system, looking to pet sit/walk and do whatever I can to help families in need no matter what! I have lots of experience in coming over to pet sit/walk animals, making sure your furry companion feels safe, and well taken care of, and needs are met!
“We've used Sarah multiple times for drop in visits for our 2 frenchies. She came recommended by a friend so we scheduled a meet and greet. It was instantly apparent that she loves dogs and was really knowledgeable on the french bulldog breed. Our dogs gave her their seal of approval with multiple kisses at the first meeting. Sarah is reliable and professional. She would message us letting us know how the pups were doing and always sent adorable photos. We will continually use Sarah and highly recommend her anyone who wants to be confident that their pets are being taken care with love.”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Pelham stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
