About: Ive cared for all different kinds of furry friends, big, small, young and elderly. Each one needed a little different and unique kind of love, but figuring out what make they happy and exhausted is my favorite part. From high energy breeds to cuddly couch potatoes, I enjoy spending time getting to know every single pet the best I can. I primarily work weekends, so I have lots of free time during to week to check on and play with youre doggos. I have limited availability on weekends, but can sometimes work visits in. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe and loved in their own environments. Each pet has a different routine, whether it's feeding, walking, play time, or taking medication it's important to stay consistent in order to help them feel relaxed. Sometimes dogs can play all day, it's important to take into consideration their health and well being, so even if they still want to keep playing they might need to take a little break sometimes.

Hannah loves animals and it shows through her services. She kept me up-to-date during the entire duration of my dogs stay and drop ins and even did more than I could ever ask of her. She played and walked with them and my dogs demonstrated an entirely different demeanor when we came home, in a good way :) she is now my forever sitter!

About: Let me take your dog on some great adventures, now that the sun is coming back out, that means long walks, dog parks and hikes! I'll feed and play with your pets per your instructions, cats included. I have four cats and a chihuahua, and I grew up with three large breed dogs. I love dogs of all sizes, and cats as well. Expert animal attendant, great petting skills. Willing to assist with grooming needs, including cleaning litter boxes, if necessary. Reliable transportation, defensive driver. Will spoil with dog or cat treats, as well as cat nip. Pet bathing is also something I am willing to do, dogs or cats, I'm not afraid of being scratched. Animal related chores are also included in my skill set. I’ve had my cat, Arya, since 2017, and her care and needs are taken care of first, every day. I feed her, clear her dishes weekly, brush her and play with her favorite laser toy. I always connect with my client, and see if they have any specific requests for their pets, be that general care, walking needs, special feeding requirements. I want their pet to have as close to a regular day as possible. If it’s simply stop by and check, I’ll make sure to check all their dishes, clean as needed, and feed before I leave.

About: I have always grown up with cats. When I was young I began helping my mom cat-sit for neighbors and family. I have 30 years experience with loved ones cats. There was never a time in my life when I didn't have a cat. I am also a dog aunt and when I was young I spent most summers and weekends volunteering at the local animal shelter which resulted in fosters, foster fails, and experience with dogs of all ages and breeds. I work at home full time, and while it keeps me busy there are opportunities to take breaks for walks, and evenings to care for your pet. I love walking and am eager to have your doggo joining me! I have three cats of my own, one which is on medication twice daily. I am able to feed, scoop litter, give meds, brush, and play with regards to your preferences.

About: I’ve always grown up with some type of pet being included in the family. In the past I have Owned large & small dogs including some with separation anxiety so I would say I’m decently experienced in caring for animals. My love for animals is extremely large & I’d love the chance to utilize my free time caring for your animals while you temporarily are out of range. Animals are very important & sometimes life can get a little chaotic unexpectedly And you may need an extra hand.. that’s where I come in! I’m fun,loving,caring,patient& understanding. I’m full of energy & spontaneous so play time /walks will be no issue at all. I’m hoping to find a family that will love me and need me regularly to care for their pet(s) I have plenty of lint brushes so hair is no issue at all either! Hope to hear from you soon! I work through out the week but still have plenty of time to take care of & play with all the pets through out the week & weekend I have a big yard for your pups to play in & no animals of my own so the attention is endless for you babies

About: I am a dedicated dog lover and sitter. I provide personalized care for each dog, focusing on their unique needs. With a bit of experience and local knowledge, I ensure a safe and fun environment. I treat every dog like my own, providing regular updates and love while you’re away. I am currently working part time, and would love to fill the rest of the time with my other passion of pet sitting for the community. I make sure pets have their needs and time such as food, exercise, grooming, and training. My dogs and cats at home are very loving and I think the main reason is for the attention I spend with each one.

Shadae was very communicative and attentive to mine and Odessa’s needs. I could feel the love she has for her own pets carry over into her care for Odessa. She went the extra mile to ensure Odessa was comfortable. This was the longest I had been away from my pup and I could NOT have asked for a better person to watch over her. 1000/10

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Rensselaer

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.
