“This was Hallie’s first time sitting for our cat and she was terrific with him! She communicated the whole weekend with updates and pictures, which we totally appreciated. It put me at ease.

About: I'm Steven, a former science teacher who turned a lifelong love of animals into full-time pet care. I've cared for my own dogs for years (John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, my senior Chihuahua) and have looked after friends' and neighbors' dogs, cats, and small pets for as long as I can remember. I'm Fear Free Certified and Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR certified, and I'm fully insured and bonded. Teaching taught me patience, routine, and how to read what someone needs when they can't say it in words, which is exactly what good pet care takes. Every booking is handled personally by me, so you'll always know who's showing up at your door. I do this full-time, so your pet is a priority, not a side gig. For house sitting I keep your pet on their normal routine, same feeding times, walks, and bedtime, and I send photo and text updates throughout so you can relax while you're away. I follow feeding and medication instructions exactly (I give my own senior dog her meds on a strict schedule, so I take it seriously). Every booking starts with a free meet & greet so your pet and I are comfortable before anything is confirmed. Since I come to you, your pet stays in their own home, familiar surroundings, their own bed and yard, which keeps them calmest, especially seniors and anxious pets. I treat your home with respect: doors locked, mail brought in, plants watered if you'd like, everything left as I found it. I have two dogs of my own, John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, a senior Chihuahua, so I'm comfortable with everything from high-energy pups to gentle senior care.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, and I’ve had the joy of caring for just about every kind of pet you can imagine- from puppies and cats to reptiles and horses! I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel happy and cared for. I have experience with obedience and potty training for puppies (lots of patience, consistency, and praise are key!), and I’ve also worked with senior and special needs dogs who need a little extra TLC. Whether it’s sticking to medication schedules or adjusting to their pace, I make sure they always feel comfortable and supported. From playtime and walks to cuddles and clean-up, I bring plenty of energy, compassion, and attention to detail. No matter the species, I have love to go around! I currently work from home, which gives me the flexibility to fully integrate pet care into my daily and weekly schedule. This means I can adjust my routine to accommodate walks, feedings, playtime, or any special needs a pet may have. I’m able to provide consistent attention throughout the day, whether it’s short check-ins, extended play sessions, or administering medications on a strict schedule. Being home allows me to be present and attentive, creating a stable and reassuring environment for pets, and ensuring that their needs are always met without feeling rushed or overlooked. My goal is always to keep pets as comfortable and secure as possible while their owners are away. I do my best to maintain their normal routines—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or bedtime—so they feel consistency and familiarity even in their owner’s absence. I understand that being cared for by someone new can sometimes bring on a bit of anxiety, so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring environment and giving them plenty of love and attention. This helps make the transition smooth, and ensures each pet feels safe, cared for, and right at home.
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and have extensive experience with both cats and dogs. I grew up with cats, worked at a dog kennel caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and have experience caring for sick and bottle-fed kittens. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I'm currently a student, so much of my time is spent at home studying- meaning your pets will not be left alone! I’m organized, reliable, and able to adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s individual needs and routine While I have cats of my own, they will be kept separate from any of our feline guests. I prioritize a clean, safe and comfortable environment for every pet. I carefully follow owners’ instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and any other special needs. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I aim to keep pets comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away.
About: I’ve had my own dogs since I was 11 and have cared for family and friends’ pets. I’m experienced, responsible, and comfortable handling both energetic dogs and busy situations, including caring for a large dog while babysitting a young child. I work part-time and am usually available in the mornings and late afternoons on weekdays. My weekend schedule can vary, but I am flexible when needed. I respond quickly and try to communicate clearly to make scheduling easy. I have a dog and prioritize safe, supervised care. I usually take dogs to my backyard or a nearby park for walks and play in a secure environment.
About: I have several years of experience caring for both pets and children. While working as a nanny for multiple families, I was also responsible for their dogs, making sure they were well-fed, exercised, and happy. This gave me hands-on experience with daily walks, playtime, and maintaining routines. At home, I am a proud cat owner, so I also understand the unique needs of cats and how to provide them with the right care and attention. I am patient, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether it’s walking a dog, keeping a pet company, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. have a very flexible schedule. Sunday Mondays and Tuesdays I am super available. Most mornings before 10 am I’m free and I sometimes work from home. My schedule is adjustable, I can often adapt to different needs during the week. The care I provide always depends on each pet parent’s instructions, since every animal has unique needs and routines. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them regular walks, fresh food and water, playtime, and lots of attention. Safety is always my first priority whether that means keeping doors secured, watching carefully on walks, or following special feeding instructions. I also keep the home environment tidy and respectful, so pet parents can feel fully at ease while they are away.
“Sarah was so great with Mico and Mya while we were on vacation. She is thoughtful and thinks of things you forgot to mention. Her updates and communication is excellent. But also she passed the M&M test. They both looked happy when we returned. I would 100% book Sarah again.”
“So grateful for Leigh. She took excellent care of my senior cat for over a week. Mid-trip, my cat started refusing his medicine. Leigh was confident and able to administer his medication regardless (via oral pill, something I myself I have never had success doing - I usually get him to lick it off a spoon covered in churu). She even stayed past her contracted time to make sure that he would receive his medication. Leigh truly cares for cats. She had a very comforting effect on my Pablo, I could see from photos he looked content and relaxed. Thank you, Leigh!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Dimitri! Pepsi absolutely loves him and I always feel completely comfortable knowing she’s in his care. He’s reliable, genuinely loves dogs, and always follows her routine and care instructions. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring for their dog!”
About: I have always been an avid animal lover, especially a dog lover, and I have always owned dogs. I started dogsitting after I graduated from college to make some money, and I immediately fell in love with it. Being able to provide a loving environment while you're away is very important for the animals, and I strive to be the best at it. My skills include dog sitting, walking, playing, and cuddling. I will also take great care of your home and treat it with respect. I also think it is important to keep the client informed of what is going on so I do like to check in. I have experience in both dogsitting and house sitting and this would let me showcase that. I currently own a Cat and turtle and feed them daily. I also clean the litter box every two days. I also help clean the turtle tank. I would follow the walking schedule for each dog and also adhere to the feeding guidelines. For a cat I would also follow the feeding guidelines and cleaning.
About: I bring a unique blend of professional canine experience and true passion. As a K9 coordinator, I’ve worked with puppies, adults, seniors, and dogs with different temperaments. I offer foundational training for puppies, behavioral understanding, and specialized senior support. I treat every dog like family while still maintaining structure, safety, and trust. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I work with dogs every day as part of my K9 coordinator role. I’m already on a consistent schedule of training, enrichment, feeding, and structured play, so adding petsitting visits fits smoothly into my day. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, on the weekends and I plan my schedule to make sure each pet gets reliable, unrushed attention. I provide a secure, structured, and loving environment for every pet. Safety is always first doors are secured, hazards are removed, and pets are never left unattended in unsafe situations. I follow routines closely, provide appropriate care for age or health needs, and keep owners informed with regular updates. Pets under my care feel safe, comfortable, and wellloved.
“Brooke is fantastic. She took good care of my two cats, Pookie and Mojito, while I was on an extended trip, kept me posted, took photos and left my home spotless. Highly recommended! Thank you, Brooke!”
About: Dogs will have a great time We will play and run and spend quality time together. Potty breaks will be as frequent as needed. Feeding schedule will be kept as usual and your dog will be cared for like a vacation they have dreamed of often the kind where they are running free. I’m responsible and extremely trustworthy Friendly love all breeds of dogs. Small to large. I’d be exceptionally good if you have a puppy that needs training and frequent potty breaks. I’m also skilled with older dogs that may need extra care with medicines or treatments Whatever your needs may require a short trip or long vacation without the burden of a kennel where they are exposed to so many different illnesses It’s such an unnecessary trauma to them and you can alleviate that by using me. I work per diem , at my own schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for pets & get them excise & love & needs. What ever your routine with your dog is I will adapt , that’s best for the pet. It calms them to stay in their home. Best practices.
About: I have a yellow lab that is my whole world, and I spend a lot of my time at home walking, playing, feeding, and cuddling her. I have taken care of many of the local dogs in my town back in Connecticut, both as a walker and as a stay-in caretaker. I am a PA student in my last semester of grad school and currently on rotation in Greenwich. My day starts early in the morning, but I am typically done mid-afternoon and available for long walks and overnight stays! I’m very active myself, so I love to get my activity in with a furry friend! I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while in my care. I’ll follow your routines closely, keep a clean and secure environment, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention. I’m happy to accommodate crating, feeding schedules, medications, and any other specific needs. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Stamford
Margaret was so attentive and wonderful with our two cats! She truly went above and beyond, providing feedback and making adjustments to ensure everything went smoothly while we were away. Our cats were very comfortable with her and definitely enjoyed her calming presence. I HIGHLY recommend her!
Hanaya made everything so easy! We felt completely comfortable leaving our cats in her care and had so much peace of mind knowing they were being well looked after while we were away. We came home to happy kitties and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’d absolutely book her again and highly recommend her!
Maria Helena was amazing! Our cats warmed up quickly to her and she sent us so many amazing photos of our cats while we were away. I’m an anxious parent when away from my cats but this was the least anxious I’ve felt in a while. Really happy to have found such a great person to watch our girls
Nina is absolutely fantastic! Her communication was excellent, and she provided detailed daily updates with pictures. My cat needs special care, and Nina was extremely responsible and paid close attention to detail of the care routine. She went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again!
Kamila was truly the best cat sitter I could’ve asked for. She sent me lots of pictures and details from each visit and went the extra mile to do things to make my cat more comfortable while I was away. I had some plans change unexpectedly and Kamila was extremely accommodating and was able to adjust her schedule to help me out. She was super flexible and kind and I felt much better about leaving my cat knowing she was in such good hands! Would absolutely recommend
Daniela took good care of the cats. Setting up are communications are smooth and easy. Ad hoc requests on unexpected incidents were well taken care of. The house is clean after the sessions. Overall it was a great experience. Will request their help again in the future.

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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
