“Everything went great with the drop-in! Tiffany was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my dog by giving him a bathroom break, spending time with him, and making sure he was fed. I appreciated knowing he was in good hands and would definitely book with Tiffany again!”

About: I have extensive hands-on experience in dog training, beginning with my first dog, a Jack Russell Terrier. Through agility and obedience training with her, I developed a strong understanding of canine behaviour, communication, and structure. I provide long, structured walks tailored to each dog’s individual energy level, temperament, and needs. At the owner’s request, I also incorporate basic obedience training, behaviour correction, and work on specific challenges such as leash pulling, reactivity, or lack of focus. I am attentive, patient, and consistent in my approach, always prioritising safety, mental stimulation, and the overall well-being of every dog in my care. I'm currently free on weekdays and sometimes on weekends too, early mornings and afternoons fits for me. I'm flexible for changes in my schedule and can adjust it to yours as well The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they are in a clean, secure, and calm environment. After walks, I always wipe or wash their paws, and I can bathe them if needed. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, treats, routines, and any special requirements. If medication is required, I administer it responsibly and exactly as directed. I pay close attention to each pet’s behaviour and comfort level to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times.

“Natalya took care of our cat while we were away for a long weekend. From my first interaction with Natalya, she was warm, responsive and responsible. Every interaction thereafter confirmed these impressions. Our cat took to her immediately when she first came in for an introduction - not something he does easily with most people (usually just hides). While we were away, Natalya sent photos and updates during her drop in visits. She definitely put our mind at ease that our cat was in good hands and being taken care of. I highly recommend Natalya and would not hesitate to use her services again.”

“Dionne has dropped in to feed my cat for two of my trips now and she is amazing! She follows directions as given and sends updates. My cat seems more interactive with her than she has been for awhile, and is in a good mood when I return. Will book again!”

About: Hi there. My name is Greg. I don't currently own any pets but I am a definite dog lover. Most of my youth is filled with memories of my Collie/German Shep mix named Freckles. She was gentle and loving and the best pal I could have had. We had her for 16 years and I still miss her. If your dog loves attention, and getting the chance to go for a nice walk outside, I'm your guy. I live about 2 miles from Prospect Park and, as a frequent runner, exploring the neighborhood and being outside is what I do most on the weekend. I am definitely happy to be with dogs who enjoy being outside on longer walks as much as I do. As for my current services, I offer dog sitting in your home or my home, as well as dog walking and drop in visits. Please note: for dog boarding, my building doesn't allow dogs larger than 25 lbs or so, however I would watch a dog of any size if house sitting in your home. Also, during the week I am working back in the office, so I could be away from your pup during the workday. I will discuss with you in advance timing to ensure your dogs's needs as you advise them are completely met. At nights and weekends, your dog wouldn't be alone for any more than just a few hours. Lastly, I am free to talk about any questions or concerns you may have. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your dog! For my schedule: I am currently working remote so your dog would get a lot of daily attention. Morning walks before work, walks around lunch and dinner time are not a problem. Weekends are chill and would be more of the same environment, I may occasionally need to go into the office in the city - but that would be discussed with you in advance . As for my home, I live in a doorman building at the end of a dead end street. My home will always be secured. If staying in your home, your dog would always be in a secure area as well.
“Julia is such a fantastic cat sitter! I had a last minute need for cat care and she was able to help. She's very responsive, showed up on time and really loves cats. I would definitely recommend her for your pets.”

About: I am an experienced sitter who has worked with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and energy levels. Before I got my own dog, I volunteered walking shelter dogs every day, so I have real hands-on experience with shy dogs, energetic dogs, reactive dogs, and dogs who need extra patience. I know how to read body language, create calm, and handle any situation with confidence. Unfortunately my current living situation does not allow me to host dogs in my home, but I am available for house sitting in yours. I also offer dog walking and drop in visits. I keep communication clear and send detailed updates so you always know how your dog is doing. During walks, I focus on structure and safety. My own dog used to pull and react to the environment, so I learned how to correct those behaviors with consistency. If you want light training during walks, I can include that naturally. I am also happy to take your dog to parks, trails, or nature areas if that is something they enjoy. Why Dogs Love Me I stay calm and confident I match their energy I give clear structure during walks I keep the environment low stress I respect their boundaries and communicate well What I Need to Know Before Booking • Is your dog good with other dogs • Any reactivity on leash • Feeding routine • Potty schedule • Any medical needs • Any household rules you want me to follow What You Can Expect From Me • Fast communication • On time arrivals • High awareness during walks • Clean and respectful care of your home • Photos and updates • A sitter who treats your dog like family • Optional park or nature walks if your dog enjoys outdoor adventures I am currently a full time student and studying remotely, which gives me plenty of availability to give your dog real attention throughout the day. My routine is flexible, and I plan my schedule around each pet I care for. Whether your dog needs a structured morning walk, a midday drop in visit, or company at night during a house sit, I can adjust to their needs. I make sure every dog feels secure, stimulated, and cared for. My focus is on keeping your dog safe and comfortable in their environment. I follow your routine closely so your dog stays on a familiar schedule. I keep my home clean and keep doors and gates secured at all times. I have a high energy dog and I'm used to giving long walks as well as going to dog parks. During walks, I maintain structure, stay aware of surroundings and avoid unsafe interactions. If requested, I can reinforce polite walking skills and help your dog stay calm outside. Your dog will always be supervised, guided and treated with the same care I give my own.

About: I've been surrounded by cats and dogs since childhood, fostering a deep love and understanding of these furry companions. Now I offer professional pet sitting and dog walking services, leveraging my lifelong connection with animals. Trustworthy, compassionate and attentive. I'm here to provide the best care for your beloved pets! Caring for pets in clients' homes fits well into my flexible daily or weekly routine since I'm currently not working a regular job and instead take on more day-to-day tasks. This flexibility allows me to provide pet care at times that suit the clients' needs, whether it's on specific days or at varying times throughout the week. With my current availability, I can easily accommodate clients' schedules and provide care for their pets whenever necessary. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I start with an initial consultation to learn about the pets' needs, habits, and preferences. Then, I provide regular feeding, grooming, and exercise at scheduled times. Additionally, I can assist with other household tasks to ensure everything is in order for when clients return home. Focusing on reliability, attention to detail, and care, I strive to provide the best service possible while caring for pets in clients' homes.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is not just the wealth of experience I have in taking care of animals professionally and the careful attention I’ve paid to building a client base for the past seven years, but also the diverse range of positions I have held within the veterinary field. These positions go beyond being simply a sitter or caretaker; they have given me an in-depth understanding of animal health, behavior, and any other necessary care they may require. As a lead veterinary assistant, I worked closely with veterinarians, patients, and their families, providing exceptional care and assisting during medical procedures. This knowledge has allowed me to better connect with and care for animals entrusted to my care. Beyond any professional roles I’ve held in the field, I possess a genuine love for all animals, ensuring that I treat each pet I care for with the utmost respect, kindness, and compassion. I understand the importance of maintaining their routines, dietary restrictions, and exercise needs, while also showering them with affection and playtime to keep them happy and emotionally fulfilled. My dedication extends beyond the professional realm, as I have actively sought out volunteer opportunities in local animal shelters and rescue organizations. This has further deepened my understanding of the various challenges and needs that animals face, reinforcing my unwavering passion to make a positive impact in their lives. One of my fundamental principles as a sitter is to treat each animal with the same level of care and attention that I would give to my own beloved pets. I understand that animals have unique personalities, needs, and preferences, and I strive to tailor my approach accordingly. Whether it's following specific dietary/lifestyle requirements, providing enriching activities, or simply showering them with affection, I am beyond dedicated to ensuring their overall happiness and well-being. With my flexible schedule, I can allocate specific times during the day to attend to these needs, ensuring that pets receive proper care, stimulation, and exercise. In terms of daily routine, I can plan regular feeding times, making sure pets receive their meals consistently. Additionally, I can incorporate exercise and play sessions into my schedule, particularly if the pet requires regular physical activity. This can involve taking dogs for walks or engaging in interactive play sessions with cats or other small animals. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any specific concerns or needs regarding scheduling and we can definitely discuss further! First and foremost, I make sure to establish a genuine connection with each pet by spending quality time with them and gaining their trust. I believe in building a strong bond and understanding their individual needs, preferences, and unique personalities. Even though we are in their domain, I am still someone unknown to them so with that in mind, I do everything in my power to make sure they know I’m here to help and care for them. Nutrition is of utmost importance, so I follow the feeding instructions provided by the client meticulously. Whether it's measuring precise portions or preparing special meals, I ensure that every pet receives their specific dietary requirements, addressing any allergies or medical conditions they may have. I keep a watchful eye on the pets' health and well-being. Observing any changes in behavior, appetite, or physical appearance is vital in identifying potential health issues or concerns, and I communicate promptly with the client to keep them informed about their pet's overall condition and consult them on any necessary veterinary care. I consistently strive to provide exceptional, personalized care, ensuring every pet feels loved, nurtured, and happy in the comfort of their own home.

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.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
