About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a child! My love for animals has motivated me to enroll in vet tech school, starting this fall. I specialize in small mammals, such as rabbits and hamsters, and have owned my own. I have also cared for guinea pigs, parakeets, and aquariums. For dogs, I have experience working with both small and large breeds! I regularly look after my neighbor's dog, and love every opportunity I get to spend time with her. For cats, I have primarily done drop in visits, but have experience with administering medicine to shy cats by building trust over time. I currently do not own pets of my own, so I will be able to give your pet my full attention and care! I am currently spending my summer before starting vet tech school working part time, volunteering at local shelters, and shadowing at clinics. I work weekends, but can still do an early morning or evening visit if needed! Your pet's comfort and safety is my number one priority and I will care for them as if they are my own! Communication and trust is important to me, so I will update you regularly on their happiness and health.
“Candice was great! She took amazing care of Apollo and really helped while we were in a pinch for a dog walker. She is quick to respond which is a great plus!! Thank you Candice, I would 100% recommend!”
About: Although new to Rover, I have been taking care of dogs for my entire life and have years of experience in professional pet care! As a college athlete I live an active lifestyle and understand the importance of a schedule. That being said I am a great match for high-energy pups who need a lot of playtime and long walks. I also aim to maintain the routine you find best for your pup to provide the least amount of changes to your dogs schedule, and therefore the least amount of stress for them in your absence. I also pride myself in my attentiveness, understanding, and tendency to go above and beyond. You can expect updates with pictures, flexibility with schedule changes or last minute bookings, and patience with your dog in my care. With a high-energy Pitbull and a couch-potato senior dog, I can readily adapt to the needs of your pup! I unfortunately cannot board your furry friends in my home at this time for the safety of my own dogs and the respect of my family! Regarding house sitting services, I am happy to provide overnight care in your home and maintain your pets normal routine as well as any basic house upkeep upon request (mail, trash, etc). I may leave throughout the day to maintain my personal schedule for work, school, or prior plans, however I treat your pet like my own and ensure they are receiving all the attention, potty breaks, playtime, and meals as they would in your care. I would love to take your pup on trails or to my personal fenced backyard for some exercise and to make them more comfortable! Regarding drop-ins and dog walking, I am extremely flexible and can often accept last minute bookings. I am working full time over the summer and will accommodate as best I can to your desired schedule. Early mornings and evenings are available for me on weekdays, weekends can vary but are usually free! My Pitbull loves to play outside and go on long walks. We are lucky to have a large, fenced backyard to enjoy on a daily basis. My senior dog loves slow walks and snuggles, which I ensure he gets plenty of.
About: I’ve had 6 dogs in my lifetime and of all shapes, sizes and personalities. I have never met a dog that I haven’t gotten along with and have been caring for mine and my friends dogs and cats when needed since I was 10. I trained each one of my dogs and take great care to respect them as the magnificent boys and girls they are. I really love animals of all kinds and meeting new ones is always the highlight of my day, and I look forward to meeting more! I’m currently applying to graduate school and studying for standardized testing, so my schedule can be as flexible as needed to accommodate for yours or your pets needs. I’m quite active with my dogs so I’m more than happy to deal with any energy levels in animals. That being said my care revolves around keeping your pets as happy as possible, and if you are ok with it I have a fully fenced in garden and three lovely dogs to keep them company!
About: I’ve been caring for pets for several years and have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family members have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I’m reliable, patient, and love making pets feel comfortable and safe. I can also help with routines, exercise, and giving lots of attention and care. I am currently working a 9-5 Monday through Thursday But available Friday- Sunday at anytime. If needed I can come after work if I am available I provide care in clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home, reliable, and will give your pets plenty of attention and care.
About: I have nearly four years of experience in a veterinary hospital as a kennel technician, where I care for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and medical needs. I am comfortable administering oral and topical medications, monitoring for signs of illness or stress, and handling a wide range of temperaments. Outside of work, I have grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have an 8 year old golden retriever of my own. I have cared for many age ranges from senior to a weeks old. I have also had other pets, including a rabbit, so I understand that every animal has unique needs and personalities. My clinical experience, combined with my lifelong love of animals, allows me to provide attentive and reliable care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs extra patience, I will treat them as if they were my own while you’re away. I am a full time student during the school year but on breaks I work around 3/4 days a week so I have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of your furry friends whenever you need me to! I do not have a set work schedule and can adapt relatively easily. I currently have a golden retriever who I love with all my heart. I can do whatever is necessary to care for your pet and have seen many different special instructions at my job. From medications to special diets I have seen a diverse range of special needs that I am well equipped to handle. I am experienced in senior care for pets, exotics, different energy or temperament levels, and many more areas.
“Yamilet did a great job. She played with my dog on the patio, fed him and took him for a patio walk for 30 minutes while providing comfort and company to my dog. Highly recommended.”
“Crystal is always so good with my two cats! They absolutely adore her, and they’re hard to win over. She also effectively administered two daily medications for my cat. I rely on Crystal for all of my cat sitting at this point!”
“Corinne was absolutely amazing with our dog, Navi! She went above and beyond by meeting with us prior to the booking just to ensure Navi felt comfortable and safe with her. During the visit, she didn't just stick to the basics; she provided a perfect balance of playtime and exercise, letting our puppy burn off plenty of energy. It’s clear Corinne truly cares about the pets she watches. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend her!”
About: I was a hands on member in my own dogs professional training, and I have taken care of friends and family’s dogs of all ages and breeds so there’s really nothing I haven’t seen before. That being said, I am well-versed in the high demand and needs of puppies and can confidently say that I am trained to care for them and all the hurdles that they entail. Having rescued my fur baby as a puppy off of the streets, she’s had her fair share of difficulties. Everyday has been such a blessing to see how far she’s come, and continues to. I have such a firm belief that dogs are truly a man’s best friend, and their greatest companion and deserve all the time and love that they deserve. Just from getting in walks everyday, to intentionally setting time aside to play with them is so important. In my home, I pretty much hang out with my Blaze as much as I possibly can. Every hour that I’m home, my dog is right by my side. Even when leaving the house my Blaze is in the backseat of my car ready for a road trip. I think to be deserving of a dogs love means putting in the time to treat them with the care they require, whether that time goes to an extra long walk, or play time with the ball, or even making sure she’s getting all the nutrients she needs in her food. How I can for my dog is how I intend to care for any future clients dog, with care and time.
About: I like to pay attention to your pet’s cues to determine their wants and needs. I’ve primarily helped friends and family with their pets and the more I spend time with animals, the more I fall in love. I currently work remotely from home. Mornings and evenings are easy! Afternoons will require some maneuvering but I can be transparent about my availability based on your needs and the dates of service. Depending on the distance I can stop by 2 or 3 times a day. I’m only offering drop-in services and walks at this time. I would be respectful of your space and focus on what I’ve been hired to do. If you need me to refresh your pets belongings, brush them, or wipe them down, etc, I’d be happy to. I have a daily routine with our family dog so I’m happy to continue any routines with your fur baby.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood, growing up in a dog-loving home with up to four pups at once ranging from 15 to 75 pounds! I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and I have experience with both playful pups and senior dogs. In college, I was part of the 4 Paws club, where I walked and watched service dogs in training, giving me extra skills to handle all types of dogs. I am available over the weekend to focus on the needs of your pet, whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m flexible, reliable, and more than happy to build a routine that works best for you and your pet. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I make sure to put your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness first. I am more than happy to take your pet to local dog parks, if that’s something you’re comfortable with. If you prefer your pet stays in a fenced yard or neighborhood walks, that works too! I will always follow your preferences and your pet’s routine.
“It was such a relief to be able to go on vacation and know our cats weren't just being fed, but truly taken care of. Stacy was very communicative and we could tell she made good friends with our cats - they still ask when shes coming back. She came over in advance to get a lay of the land and meet them and learn all their hiding spots. She even took the litter when she left so we wouldn't have to deal with it. Stacy really was wonderful and knowing our cats were being loved by someone with such great experience while we were away was such a gift!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and understand the care each one (puppy-senior) requires. Many friends, family, and coworkers have trusted me to care for their fur babies - walks, feedings, drop-ins, etc. They have all become family to me! 🧡 That being said, I’d love to be apart of your pet’s daily care! I am currently available after 5pm Monday-Thursday, after 3:30pm on Friday and between 8:30am- late evening on Saturday and Sunday. I am very flexible overall! I have experience teaching basic dog training commands - sit, lay down, roll over, paw, etc. I can walk (3) dogs at a time. Long walks and play are essential for their well-being and health. Happy to take them to dog parks too!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Putnam Valley
Candice was great with our senior dog and shy cat. She was always responsive and communicative, and sent great pics of our pets! I felt very comfortable that our pets were being looked after and cared for, and I would definitely each out to Candice in the future. I feel lucky to have found her!
Being my first time using Rover, I was pleased to find the sitter locator map to help me connect with someone close to me. Daniella was perfect! She tended to our cats while we were gone for a week and was prompt, professional and courteous, sending us photos and status reports with each visit she made. We returned home to find the cats happy and well cared for.
I am concerned a stellar review will reduce the availability of Kiera, but I'm leaving it any way! Keira was the perfect solution for our family, first time to leave target with a sitter. She was very attentive, left us thorough notes detailing his greeting and how they interacted. Pictures don't lie and I would definitely hire her again.
I cannot recommend Victoria enough! She was so wonderful with my cat. My cat is usually very shy around people she doesn't know so I was shocked to see pictures that Victoria sent me of her petting my cat or sitting with her! She clearly has the magic touch. She also dealt with her own emergency one day and still found a way to do a check in. I am so appreciative and will definitely use Victoria again!

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 .

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.
