“Stephanie was wonderful. Before caring for my pups she took the time to come meet them and ensure she fully understood their needs. It was clear she was very experienced with high needs dogs as she approached my shelter pup in a way that was very respectful of her space and her anxiety. On Christmas Day she made room in her busy schedule to care for both of my dogs. She was very communicative and I felt great ease knowing she was taking care of them. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and you should too. Five stars.”
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.
“Cassidy is absolutely the best person we could have taking care of our fluffs! She is endlessly patient and loving! We have a timid and sometimes attitudy cat who requires medication and Cassidy is able to convince her to take her medication always! We have another cat who is incredibly shy and Cassidy has a way of convincing him to come out for head bops which is unheard of! and our love bug is enamored of her! We couldn’t ask for anyone better!”
“Julian took fantastic care of our cat, Clementine, while we were away. We were a little anxious about leaving our cat overnight for the first time, but Julian met up with me ahead of time to meet Clementine, go over care instructions, and address any concerns I had. The daily updates and photos were detailed and thoughtful and truly put my mind at ease. Julian even did an extra drop-in on very short notice due to our flight back being delayed - truly above and beyond service! I would highly recommend Julian and would absolutely book again in the future.”
About: My family has fostered many dogs from puppies to elderly, along with owning two of our own. Almost all of my highschool volunteer hours came from helping at dog kennels and daycares. From a young age my parents have taught me to have good patience and care for animals. I am currently a student home from school til March. I attend a maritime school for engineering. Other than two courses I am taking online at nearby school, I have a completely open schedule from the next two months. Depending on age I offer 1-2 walks through out the day. Along with interactive meal times! I do own 1 dog at home who is elderly but very very kind and social. I have a very large yard which allows all the zombies. However my pup is trained and therefore we have no fencing. I live in close proximity to dog park for free range fun as well. As for dogs that require daily grooming, I proved daily brushings as well.
“Liz was awesome with my 2 cats! She listened and understood the personalities of the cats and successfully gave a daily pill for one cat. I had some important documents come in the mail and Liz gracefully agreed to grab it and bring it in the house. She gave the cats snuggles and played with them. Even my more timid cat loved Liz and even snuggled on her lap for a moment! We are very thankful for her coming to check in each day so the kitties didn’t feel too lonely and were well taken care of!”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of all ages, as well as worked on obedience training with puppies. I am familiar with different dog tools and temperaments aswell as different cat needs. I take care of my own dog daily, from dog walks to training- we are always about taking care of our pet's needs first. Your dog needs walks but hates other dogs? We can walk on the other side of the road and keep away from other furry friends! You want your dog to work on basic obedience on the walk? Sure thing! I want your dog to feel as safe as he/she would with you. Whether your dog eats in the crate or needs medication in their bowl, I can follow your pet's needs based on their lifestyle is. I take my own dog's health very seriously and consider them family, and I would treat your pet the same.
“Adriana was lovely! She updated us on how the kitties were doing, she was very professional by scheduling to meet us beforehand, and left us a sweet little card and gift. I would 10000% recommend her!”
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.
“This was our 1st time using Hannah and she took great care of our 2 babies. They always looked so happy in all the wonderful pictures Hannah would send. She was always on time too. We will definitely use Hannah again. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Cannot say enough good things- she has a background with German Shepard’s and Zara absolutely loved spending time with her! Highly recommend & love the communication throughout the whole evening”
“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.”

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.

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.
