“This was the 2nd time Lisa and Michael did drop in visits for our cat Sammi. They are the best! They sent photos and assured us that she was eating and using the litter box. They left everything spotless! They are truly wonderful and caring! I would recommend them 100%❤️”
“Stephanie is a reliable and super responsible dog sitter. We had to leave our dog for a week and knowing our dog was in the care of Stephanie really put us to ease. We are so grateful to her!”
“Katherine took excellent care of my two cats, Cassie and Colby. She was always prompt and always sent me pictures after each visit she did. She was very concerned that they were not only feed but that they were loved and comforted during her visits with them. My cats are shy and skiddish but she took great care of them and they looked well nourished and great when I came home. I would definitely recommend Katherine for any pet sitting needs you may have. She really cares about the animals she is visiting.”
About: I have been around animals and pets my whole life. I love learning the best way to treat and handle my furry companions. My number one goal is keeping my furry companions safe, healthy and happy. My day starts and ends with caring for them in the best way possible. I make sure pets are being fed the best food possible and making sure they are comfortable in our home. I make sure that when I am caring for a pet, that they are comfortable with my presence and I never want to overwhelm them in their own environment or in my own. I like to stay in communication with pet owners and want others pets/babies to be as comfortable as they can within my home and presence
“Amanda was amazing with our dogs and bunny. Dogs were very comfortable with her and were very happy to see her each drop in . She was very attentive and detailed in each drop in and kept in touch throughout the whole week. I would highly recommend using her for any of your pets needs”
About: Hi, I’m Sara, and I’ve always had a strong passion for animals. I grew up in a family that has always had pets. Right now, I have two dogs and four cats. I went to Eastern Suffolk BOCES for my senior year and took the animal science program there, where I gained a lot more experience and knowledge in looking after cats and dogs, as well as other animals like guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, and more. After BOCES I moved on to the vet sci program ant SUNY Delhi where I learned a lot at a professional level but I ended up coming home because I decided I wanted to change my career path but I still love animals so much and still want to work with them, So I decided to do pet sitting or walking! Anytime we need any done for the pets I get it done. My pets are very spoiled, and my favorite thing to do is walk my dogs. My pets mean the world to me, and I’m sure yours mean the world to you as well. I would love to be your trusted dog/cat sitter or walker. size/age of pet does not matter or bother me at all! Please reach out to me for any questions! I currently work at a school and my hours are 7:55 to 2:05 Monday through Friday. For pet sitting I can either house sit or I would be able to stop in the morning before work, after work around 2:30-3 and then any other times in the evening! for dog walking I can do as soon as I get out of work or weekends! I would make sure the environment your pet is staying in is safe! clean up any possible hazards, any messes, clean up after they eat. I will also make sure they are staying active by playing or walking and keeping a close eye on them when they are outside or keep them on a leash! I would keep you updated as much as possible with selfies and pictures with your pet. As for walking I will keep a safe distance from others and pay attention strictly to your pet!
“Amber was an exceptional pet sitter! She arrived early and was consistently punctual, which gave me great peace of mind. She spent lots of quality time with my animals and kept me updated with photos throughout her stay, such a thoughtful touch that made me feel even more at ease. Everything went smoothly with no issues at all, and her easygoing nature made the whole experience stress-free. I’ll absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend!”
“Christiana was great. She took care of my cat Domino for a week and when I returned he was well fed and well scooped. She kept everything in order and the house and litter box was clean when I got back. I was given good feedback after every visit and she arrived exactly when she was supposed to. Highly recommended!”
“Jen and Cameron were wonderful with Annie and the bunnies. They took the time to come meet and get acquainted twice so that Annie was comfortable with them. They followed our instructions and kept in touch several times a day. They treated our girls like their own pets. Thank you Jen and Cameron for everything.”

About: I grew up in a house with dogs. We always had at least two and sometimes three dogs. We bred corgis and standard poodles and I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages. I also own three cats and take care of an outdoor feral. I'm comfortable medicating dogs, cats, and even reptiles. (I can feed reptiles as well, I'm not worried about bugs :) I currently work from home so I'm free most afternoons and evenings and would love to use some of the spare time I have to take care of dogs and cats. I have experience caring for pets in their home and would be happy to let your dog out in the backyard for playtime or take them on a walk around the block. If you need them crated after, I can do that too.
About: I've always been such a huge animal lover and always took care of my own cats, dogs, guinea pigs and birds. I used to watch my family members pets when they would go away and feed them per special instructions and stayed with them as long as I could so they were never lonely. I work full time now but I make my own schedule! I'll be able to be reliable and work around the needs of anyone's babies! In my clients home I always have respect and take care of not only the pets but the home and property when I'm there always.
“Dyese was great with our cat, Earl. She did daily home visits while we were away, which included feeding him, changing his litter, and keeping him company. Dyese gave us photo updates and detailed summary of her visit each time. It was great knowing he was in good hands.”
“Christine is absolutely incredible! My dogs adore having her stop in while I’m working long days. She plays with them until they’re tired, makes sure they go to the bathroom & get some fresh water plus a treat! Cannot possibly recommend her enough.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Shirley
This was my first time using Rover, and Amber made it a fantastic experience. She was reliable and communicative. I was nervous leaving Teddy and MoMo for the first time, but Amber put all my worries at ease. She followed all my instructions perfectly (even I changed most my instructions on the day of visit 🥲) The daily pictures were a lifesaver, and my home was left perfectly tidy. Highly recommend!"
I’ve never left my cats with a pet sitter before. To be honest, both of them are a bit of a scaredy-cat. Lol. Jennifer came in every morning and evening, and took care of them wonderfully. Granted one of them never showed her face, lol. But the other one was very bad at hiding. Lol. Jennifer was very professional. Such a great personality too. She did everything I asked of her and went above and beyond too. Would definitely recommend her. She was amazing. Thank you, Jennifer for all you did.

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.

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.
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.
