“Jungmin did an amazing job taking care of Bobo and our home while we were away! She was incredibly caring, responsible, and attentive to Bobo’s needs. She went above and beyond by helping clean and vacuum the apartment and spending extra time making sure Bobo was comfortable and well cared for. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Bobo was in such good hands. I truly appreciate her kindness and dedication, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful sitter. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I've had many pets in my life, I've raised 3 dogs and have two cats. I've given basic training to my cats and given senior care to many a dog. I'm in school virtually so I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule and am open to traveling for services. Owning cats also allows me to be free in case of emergencies (they are really understanding). My railroad style apartment was decorated with two frisky kittens in mind so my place is pretty tamper proof. It's easy to isolate them from the rest of the space when (or if) introducing guests and easy to navigate for them with adequate space for play/sleep/snacking or whatever their little hearts desire.
“Xunzi took excellent care of our cat. She also kept us updated everyday with plenty of photos and videos! Her own cats are very cute and friendly and make for great companions. Would definitely go to Xunzi next time we need a cat-sitter”
About: Passionate animal enthusiast with 12 years of veterinary experience, beginning in doggy daycare and advancing to veterinary care. I offer safe, compassionate, and dependable pet services. I typically work 40-hour weeks, but I always have plenty of available time to spend with any pet in need. I cherish the love of all furry friends! * I offer daytime house-sitting which allows me to spend as much time as needed with your pet without overnight stay for personal reasons. My Shih Tzu has always received compliments on her friendly behavior and obedience training. She's allowed to roam freely in the home b/c there are no perishable items accessible to her. It’s important to ensure that all fur babies are respected and their needs are met.
“Sara was great with the cats. She communicated well and took care of everything the pets needed. Our cat Remy had an especially great time playing with her. We felt like our kitties were in great hands with her”
“Kathryn was eager to meet my boys prior to our trip. This puts everyone at ease. It’s something I look for when choosing a new pet care provider. Kathryn followed all my instructions and was communicative all during our trip. My boys were happy and content when we got home.”
“Tez is amazing! My cats were feral, so they take some time for them to warm up to people and Tez has taken her time over the years to become best friends with them. We can barely pick up our cats and she was just recently able to pick up one of them so I think that speaks volumes to how good she is with cats. She has also been super nice in watering our plants a few times and bringing up our packages while we are away. I highly highly recommend Tez, your cats are missing out if you’re not using her as a sitter! One of our cats was even on Lexapro for some time and Tez was really good with giving him pills.”
About: As a lifelong dog owner and lover I have always taken care of not only my own but been a go-to sitter for my friends cats and dogs. I currently have a 4 yr old yellow lab who may be 100 lbs but he thinks he’s a lap dog nonetheless. I love big dogs as I have always had a large dog in the house but small dogs steal my heart too. I have an extremely flexible schedule. As a real estate agent I am only in the office/area that I work on random days here and there. Most days I am home, going to the gym, or spending time with family and friends, so pet care can be at any time throughout the day. I will always care for your pet and home. Any instructions that you give I will follow, I want your pet to enjoy their time with me as much as I enjoy my time with them!
About: My name is Nasima, and I genuinely love caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, so I always tailor my care around what makes them feel safest, happiest, and most comfortable. I live in Teaneck, just minutes away from Overpeck County Park, with plenty of other nearby parks, shaded walking areas, and space for safe, enjoyable walks. Whether your pet loves long adventures, relaxed strolls, playtime, or simply extra attention and companionship, I tailor their care around what makes them happiest. You can expect reliable communication, thoughtful updates, plenty of photos, and the peace of mind that your pet is being cared for as if they were my own. I have Tuesday through Friday most weeks free, weekends sometimes too, while I’m studying throughout the week. I’m pretty active so I love going outside frequently for walks, getting fresh air and enjoying nature. I am very organized, clean and mindful. I’ll respect your home and space and do my best to leave it better than I found it.
About: I treat every pet like my own, with love and patience. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and everything in between, and I’m great at making animals feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently available on sun,mon,tue (whole day) and wed before 2pm. My schedule is flexible on those dates. I do accept same day schedule. :) I care for pets by keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy. I follow their usual routines, give them plenty of love and attention, and make sure they get the exercise, playtime, and rest they need. Whether in my home or a client’s, I create a calm, caring environment so they feel at ease.
“Melanie came by for a visit just to get to know my kitty, Jinjin before I go away for a week. Melanie was great and was able to get Jinjin out of hiding which was awesome and very reassuring. I highly recommend her!”
“Megan was a great sitter for Nyla. She was very flexible when I added additional visits and requested changes in the visits. I will definitely be scheduling her for future visits.”
About: Hi I’m Bea! I’ve always loved being around animals and currently have both a dog and a cat of my own, so taking care of pets is already part of my everyday life. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning up after them, giving lots of attention, and just making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I know every pet has their own personality, so I try to adjust to what makes them happiest, whether that’s playing, going on walks, or just having someone nearby to keep them company. I also know how important updates are, so I’ll always make sure to send photos and check-ins so you can relax while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! 🐾 Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I make it a priority. I have a flexible schedule, especially during evenings and weekends, which allows me to dedicate quality time for walks, drop-in visits, or sitting. Since I also care for my own pets every day, I’m already used to maintaining consistent routines like feeding, playtime, and cleaning. I’m reliable with timing and make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need without feeling rushed. I’m happy to work around your pet’s schedule and can be flexible with last-minute requests when needed! I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine, feeding, playtime, walks, and any special instructions. In your home, I keep things clean, calm, and consistent so your pet feels safe and stress-free. In my home, pets are treated like family in a clean, relaxed environment. I’m attentive to their needs, whether they want to play, explore, or just rest. I have experience with both cats and dogs, including shy or high-energy pets, and I’m happy to follow specific care instructions or routines. My goal is simple: make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
About: I have lived with dogs for the majority for my life. While I may not have professional experience in pet care, I have taken care of/helped with many of family’s, neighbors, and friends dogs. I am currently a full-time college student, meaning my availability may be a bit on the shorter side. I can provide walks and check-ins, but cannot provide house sitting at the moment. If you are interested and have questions on availability/scheduling, please message me. I currently live with two cats, who I am not the primary caretaker but do step-in when needed and make sure they are safe and cared for. I will treat any client’s animal as if its my own, taking time to listen to their ways of communication in order to ensure the best care.
“So pleased with Arin checking in on my cat Nellie while I was away several days. She fed her dinner each night and kept her some company. Nellie is a bit shy and takes time to warm up and Arin was patient with her. Responsive, on time check ins, and shared how each visit went! Very happy with all of Arin’s help.”
About: I am a reliable person. If I say i’m coming, I show up. I think animals tend to warm up to me quickly because i’m nurturing. I am a writer, so I am flexible with my work from anywhere during the day, except for the days i’m filming and on set. I have a cat myself at home, i have a 2nd bedroom so i can always use the guest room for your animal if they are not comfortable being around a cat.
About: I have fostered a 4 month old poodle for 2 months. I’d say I personally have more experience babysitting than pet sitting but that being said, I have a huge heart for nurturing and caring I am currently working a part time job but my schedule is pretty flexible so I have a lot of time on my hands! My daily/weekly routine just consists of working and hanging out with friends! Unfortunately I can not host pet sitting at my home for my land owner doesn’t allow pets inside, but if I were to work at your home, I would act accordingly with respect!
About: I treat your fur baby like it’s mine. I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 8 years old. I am a certified pet bather and training to be a dog groomer currently. Some people might consider me a crazy dog lady;) I know how to care for young to senior dogs/cats. Rabbits, Guinea pigs, and all other small animals are welcome as well! No dog is too big or small I am experienced with them all! I currently in dog grooming school, so I have plenty of time to care for your animals. If it’s just a walk or pet sitting I am happy to help! I am reliable, trustworthy, and flexible as I love being around animals. Your fur family is my fur family <3 I care for your animals like they’re my own. Safety is my top priority. I am attentive and I like to bond with your pet! I am proven to be trustworthy in clients homes with their animals. Any needs I can meet without issues. I send plenty of pictures throughout the time so your know your pet is safe and happy!
About: Howdy! My Name is Pierre! I am about to be a graduate student at the University of Hartford! I came home from the summer to find out that my dog for the last 6 years had moved out of my childhood home and in with my brother (HEARTBREAKING 💔) I joined Rover so I could care for my lovely four-legged friends, without the commitment of having to keep one before having to travel back to college again! My family for all 23 years of my life has had at least a dog and a cat (RIP Tiger). And we currently shelter baby kittens until they are old enough to get adopted! I have a passion for Animals and miss having my buddies around so I believe Rover would be a perfect fit! Currently I am not employed and only leave my house for 3 hours a day to workout out! (I am a college basketball player!) My girlfriend Min, however, is a stay at home type so your companion will NEVER be without supervision! I have sheltered kittens for years so I know the responsibility of being super vigilant over pets cause things can (and will) get crazy sometimes! I have a completely fenced in back yard! I also will take videos and FaceTime calls at the owners request so they can always check in on their companion I work from home as a video editor so I am always available to take on new pets and care for them whenever the need arises! I have a fenced yard, as well as a nice spacious living room pets can play and live in, and a restless dog is a destructive one 😂 so we make sure to take them on walks and exercise to get them nice and tired.

Christina is such a wonderful pet sitter! She has been so caring and patient with our two cats. One of our cats needs multiple medicines and the other is quite shy and she has worked to get both to love her! All the while she’s been communicative, caring, and gone the extra mile. Christina is great and I can’t sing her praises enough!
Andrew was awesome. He took care of our 2 cats every day and on-time. He provided updates and several pictures of how our cats were doing. This really helped us enjoy our vacation without worrying too much and one of our cats is just 4 months old. He did a great job.
Amanda went above & beyond during her visit with Lucy. I couldn’t have asked for a better drop in. She was attentive to not only Lucy, but also the entire apartment letting me know if things looked out of place. I can tell Lucy was cared for & played with throughout the drop in. Will book again!!!
Christine was fantastic taking care of Minino while we were away! She came by daily to feed him and always sent us pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and made sure he was happy and well looked after. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a reliable, attentive cat sitter.
Mya was truly a blessing and the perfect kitty sitter! She was extremely attentive and loving to my two little spoiled cats. She was always on time and spent a lot of quality time with them. They were instantly in love with and felt super comfortable with her. I was away for work at my new job and wanted to fully committed without worrying. She sent many cute pictures and just went above and beyond. Hire her! But not when I need her 😅 (jk) you won’t regret it. ♥️

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
