About: I’ve had welcomed my first pet ever when I was 10 years old , then in 2012 I’ve have welcome another fur baby to the family .

About: I've helped take care of my partners two dogs, one young and one senior dog. I absolutely love caring and playing with them whenever I am around. I am currently self-employed so I am able to flex my schedule. I am a mental health therapist so I will need a couple of days to make sure my schedule is appropriate for your pet care. In my own home, my cats are on a feeding schedule with medication. I spend lots of time petting and playing with them. I will be able to do the same in your own home. With dogs, I can take them for regular walks, play with them, and feed them accordingly. I of course, will adhere to whatever your schedule/routine for your pet is and what they are used to to make them as comfortable and happy as possible.

“Caroline was so great with Harley! She always gave multiple updates with constant communication and assisted with anything Harley needed while she was there. I would definitely recommend Caroline!”
“Jorge is a dream! He is extremely diligent, on time and very communicative with each visit. We have a moody anxious 12 year old AMSTAFF and he gives her space and works with her. We didn’t have to worry about her while we were away and it’s such a relief!”
“Kameryn is amazing! She goes above and beyond, very thoughtful, caring and really easy to communicate with. We are lucky to have found such a wonderful person to care for our pets. Can't express enough how grateful we are and we look forward to working with Kameryn in the future.”

“Elisa did a great job. She was very respectful of our home and our pets. It is very evident that she cares about animals. We will absolutely use her anytime we are in need of a pet sitter. Thank you.”
“I cannot recommend our cat sitter highly enough! She took such amazing care of our cats while we were away and went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she make sure our cat was comfortable and monitored closely, but she also cleaned up all the messes without complaint and kept us updated throughout the entire time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and capable hands. She was reliable, attentive, communicative, and genuinely treated our cats as if they were her own. It’s not easy dealing with unexpected pet health issues, but she handled everything with kindness and dedication. We came home to happy cats and a clean home, and we are so grateful for her help.”

We will 100% be using her again and would highly recommend to others.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pelham
Lizette was an amazing caretaker for our feline family! She went above and beyond. It really put us at ease knowing we had such a caring and attentive cat sitter while we were away. We’d be very happy to have her take care of our kitties again - and I think they would be happy to see her again, too!
I've worked with Lori in the past and have always had a positive experience. Lori is very patient and kind toward my incredibly shy cat, and by the end of our trip, he was warming up to her and approaching - all because Lori honored his need for more space. :) Lori kept the home clean, washed all his bowls each day, and completed her visits in a timely manner. We will continue to work with Lori in the future, and highly recommend.
Karen is wonderful and took great care of our dog and cat, Taffy and Minnie. She was very thorough and professional and very loving towards our two. Taffy and Minnie were so happy and relaxed when we got home after four days, I’m not sure they noticed we were gone, no stress or anxiety. I can’t recommend Karen any higher, she’s great! Jennifer von M
Kathryn was wonderful with my kittens while I was away on vacation! She was so friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with from the very beginning, which immediately made me feel comfortable leaving them in her care. I especially appreciated how much time she spent with them during each visit. She didn’t just come by to feed them and leave—she actually spent time playing with them, giving them attention, and making sure they were taken care of. It made being away from them so much easier knowing they were getting plenty of love and weren't just being left alone. Kathryn sent me lots of adorable pictures, which I looked forward to getting every day! She followed all of the instructions I left and was very attentive to everything the kittens needed. It was clear from the way she interacted with them that she truly loves animals and cares about the pets she watches. I would absolutely have Kathryn watch my kittens again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter. Knowing that they were with someone who was giving them genuine attention and affection gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’m so happy we found her!
This was our first time using Rover, and Ana made it an excellent experience! She took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away for a week, making sure they were well-fed, comfortable, and happy. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats and would absolutely book with Ana again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!
Vicenzza showed up on time and was reliable, communicative, and caring throughout the visit. She took great care of Tucker, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. The whole experience was easy and stress-free. I would definitely book with her again.
We had a great experience with [Name] caring for our cats. She took the time to play with our very antsy cat and gave our shy, scaredy cat the space she needed, exactly as we requested. It was clear that she paid attention to each cat’s personality and needs. She was also very thoughtful about the little details, including rinsing out their food bowls so there were no lingering smells and making sure their medication was given with their food. We appreciated how attentive and caring she was while looking after our cats. We would definitely feel comfortable having her care for them again!
Julia was a great cat sitter for my cat, Nutmeg! I was away 11 days and Julia sent me photos and a daily update on Nutmeg’s visits. I arrived home with a very calm, relaxed & happy cat (never left her that long before)! I highly recommend Julia and Will book her again if I need to!
She was amazing! She did everything exactly as requested, including changing the pee pads, refreshing Oreo’s water, cleaning up after him, giving him his lick mat, and spending time playing with him. She also kept everything clean and followed all of my instructions perfectly. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave Oreo, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her!

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.
