“Petra is amazing! She is a Savior when I’m away! I can’t thank her enough for everything. She takes care of my dogs like they’re her own. She found ticks on my pups and removed them. Sent me pictures of everything. She plays with my dogs, cleans my cavaliers eyes, and even alerts me of anything going on with my chickens. I’m so grateful to find her!”
“Natasha did a great job with our kitties! This was our first time using the Rover app and we were a little nervous about it, but Natasha sent us updates that put us at the ease (including letting us know when we had packages delivered) and we came home to happy kitties. We will definitely reach out to her the next time we need a sitter.”
“Was great with our 2 cats. Feed, them both, and gave medicine to our Lucky. Spent time petting and playing with them. Arrived on time, and sent pictures of our precious babies. We will hire again. The cats each gave her 2 paws up. :)”
About: While I’ve never had my own dog, I have many dogs in my life who I adore, and who adore me. Dogs always approach me in public because they can sense how much I love them! I’ll love your pup as if it’s my own! I'm a PA student and my schedule is different everyday. If you request something a week in advance, I should be able to arrange something! Whether your pup just needs a buddy to hang out with or needs to be fed/walked, I’m in! I’m respectful of your space and can do whatever you need, as long as detailed instructions are left for me. I will go above and beyond to care for your pet as if it’s my own.
“Sam was with Laila a couple weeks before she passed,but she was amazing and was so patient with my girl. Sam has a great compassionate way towards animals. You'll feel reassurance and know she takes great care of them. 💕”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years through a mix of personal, volunteer, and professional experience. I grew up pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family, so I’ve been trusted with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities from a young age. My parents also have two yorkies who I’ve helped care for over the years, which taught me a lot about routines, patience, and understanding each dog’s unique quirks. I also spend a couple of years working in a veterinary hospital in a client-care role. Even though I wasn’t a vet tech, I interacted with dogs every day and learned how to stay calm, read their body language, and make them feel comfortable in a new or unfamiliar environments. That experience helped me become confident handling shy, energetic, senior, and nervous pups. Between my personal background and my time in a vet setting, I’m comfortable with a wide range of dog temperaments and needs. I’m gentle, reliable, and always focused on making sure each dog feels safe, understood, and cared for. I work a hybrid job, which gives me a really flexible schedule for pet care. On my work from home days, I’m able to do quick walks throughout the day, especially around lunchtime or early afternoon. I’m available for drop/ins with plenty of notice. I’m also able to house sit on the days I’m remote or on weekends, and I make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress free. If you need someone who can be around, keep your dog company, and provide reliable care during the day, my schedule works really well for that. Just let me know what you need, I’m happy to work with your routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. When I’m caring for a dog in your home, I keep their routine as close to normal as possible. Same feeding schedule, same walking style, same rules you use every day. I take the time to learn what helps your dog feel secure, whether that’s a quiet approach, extra playtime, or a slow, sniff-filled walk. I’m very respectful of your space and treat your home the same way I’d want someone to treat mine. I make sure doors are locked, lights are used responsibly, and everything is left clean and exactly how I found it. During visits or house-sitting, I keep a calm environment so your pet feels relaxed and safe while you’re away. I always pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and anything that seems out of the ordinary. If something comes up, you’ll hear from me right away, communication and transparency are really important to me. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet and your home are in good hands.
About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner, I understand how important pets are to a family. I provide dependable walking and sitting services with patience, attention, and genuine care. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I value building trust with both pets and families through consistency, communication, and kindness. I work part-time, but I have open and flexible availability. I am willing to adjust my schedule to meet the needs of clients and provide consistent, reliable care, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends as needed. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions provided. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while maintaining a calm and secure environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep everything clean and organized, and provide regular updates so owners feel confident and informed. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own.
“I would highly recommend Megan. She is very reliable, informative, and caring. She was taken care of our two cats several times. We plan on requesting her service again in the future.”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and a dog since I was ten. I’ve also been volunteering at animal shelters since the beginning of 2024! I have a calm energy which is great for putting anxious pets at ease. I have the most experience with small dogs but love dogs of all sizes! I have the most availability on weekends but I have no problem making weeknight visits to provide your pets with the care they deserve! I have my own car so transportation is not an issue. Pet safety whether out and about or in your home is my top priority! I am careful to observe animal body language so I can better know when to give a pet space or remove them from a distressing situation. If you have any care or safety concerns that are specific to your home or pet, do not hesitate to let me know!

“Net is awesome! She came to the house a few times, to meet Lucy, before our trip so Lucy was comfortable with her. She visited Lucy 4 times per day starting very early and a bedtime visit around 8:00pm. Polite, dependable, caring, professional and dedicated are a few words to describe Net. We will definitely have her take care of Lucy again and I encourage you to have her care for your pet as well! Six out of 5 stars!!”
“Once again Sage has been a wonderful pet sitter for our cats. On time, respectful, and our cats Hidey and Gidgit love her. Makes our time away less stressful knowing our fur babies are well cared for.”
About: My name is Kylie and I’ve always had such a strong passion for animals. I’m currently in school to be a licensed veterinary technician. While I pursue this, I also work full time in an animal emergency clinic. I have had 2+ years of animal emergency experience, including large dogs and cats, and even reptiles like snakes! I am comfortable pilling animals and have direct access to emergency care 24/7 in case your fur babies need it❤️. I currently own 2 cats of my own and a ball python. I’ve owned large dogs my whole life including a Cane Corso & Giant Schnauzer! I currently work full time in the animal emergency clinic. My schedule is Tuesday 11a-11p - Friday 7a-7p - Saturday 1p-1a and I do pick up shifts here and there. With this being said, I can come by before and/or after my shifts. I am currently not accepting boarding as my current living situation is not feasible for more animals than I currently own. I can care for pets in your home!
“Our cats and I were talking and we are very happy with the care Kim provided! Kim was caring and loving, giving them plenty of playtime and attention. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was responsive to any concerns we might encounter, as well as adapting to misunderstanding. What really stood out was her ability to adapt to our instructions and solve problems on her own without hesitation. She even went above and beyond by keeping the house clean, even though it wasn’t part of her duties. We highly recommend Kim to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and dedicated pet sitter. She truly exceeded our expectations!❤️🐱 P.s. Pumpkin is always loud”
“Shannon was great!!! She was super responsive and it was clear that she really loved getting to play with our pup! She was so helpful when our plans changed and we needed her to stop by alittle early. She worked with us to make it work. 100% would recommend booking her!”
About: I have plenty of references and experience with pet care. Growing up, I always had a dog and cat in the home. Currently, I live in an apartment and can’t get a dog. My boyfriend is allergic to cats, so I can’t get a cat either 😢 But I have plenty of friends and family who I have given pet care to. I can read animals pretty well and always prioritize their needs. I currently work full time but would love to use any extra time I have to help out your family. I work 3pm-11pm Sunday-Thursday. I am available all weekends unless my calendar says otherwise. When it comes to caring for pets, I prioritize their needs and make sure they have everything needed. I like to keep the parents in the know of how they are doing and update with pictures as often as possible 😊

Katie was exactly what we were hoping for! I needed someone to come to the house to take care of our 2 yr old puppy, Duncan, while I was at work. Enter Katherine (Katie, Kate)! When I put the request in she got back to me super fast. Even more impressive was that she was out at a show with friends and still took the time to respond and to let me know she would reach out shortly after. She came to the house TWICE during the night. She made sure Duncan was fed, took him for his walk, played with him and hang out a bit with him for general attention and cuddles that our little man needs while I was at work. She then returned at 11p (later than a lot of people would agree to) for yet another walk, his evening bone, and (you guessed it) more cuddles! She was on time, sent updates for each visit, and took almost 20 photos of their adventures togethers. Highly recommended and we will use her in the future!
Debra was an amazing sitter for my dogs. I needed someone last minute to do drop in visits with my dogs over Thanksgiving break. Debra went above and beyond. She came 3 times a day, sent photos each time, and even brought my heavy packages inside (to the rear of the house) which I didn’t even ask her to do. She was personable, great with communication, and reliable. I will definitely use her again!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Slingerlands stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Slingerlands choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Slingerlands with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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.
