About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats my entire life. At the moment I volunteer as a dog walker at the animal shelter. I currently have two cats. I live in a home with a separate bedroom reserved for your furry family member. Safety is my main priority. I have a lot of knowledge in what foods/plants/ etc. are harmful to animals. I work from home so I get lots of time to play and love on your pet with frequent walks. Overall, I am an animal lover, and I strive to make them feel safe and loved. I work from home part-time. I will be with your pet full-time every day with lots of time for love cuddles, play with frequent walks and potty trips. Your animal will not be with other animals and will have my full attention. Your pet will remain inside in their own bedroom. Of course for dogs we will be outside frequently for potty trips and walks around the neighborhood. I understand body language of animals and I take safety very seriously.

About: Ever since I was a kid, I wanted a pet. My parents never let me so I would take care of my neighbor and friend’s pets. I would enjoy taking them on walks and playing with them. I did everything to ensure they were given the care they needed and deserved. I loved the dogs as if they were my own. That’s why I would love to be given the chance to take care of your best friend while you’re away. My experience has taught me that every dog has different needs and I will gladly cater to the needs of every dog that crosses my path. After caring for so many dogs, I decided to get my own. I have learned so much from my dog and know what it’s like to care for a dog 24/7. I will treat your dog like my own and give the best care I can. I currently work hybrid and only have to go to the office twice a week. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can try my best to work around your needs. I live in an apartment near Battery Park with plenty of areas for dogs to walk. There’s also a few dog parks nearby. My puppy is playful and would love to keep your dog(s) company. I also have gates to separate dogs if needed. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to work around yours. I am at home most of the time because my job is hybrid. I have plenty of free time to play and walk your dog(s). I live in an apartment community that is dog friendly and has many surrounding parks. Dogs are allowed to play around my apartment and allowed on furniture. My job is to make your dog(s) feel comfortable.
About: I previously worked as a veterinary technician, which gave me hands on experience caring for animals of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m very comfortable handling both healthy pets and those that need extra attention or senior care. I’ve also had pets my entire life, so caring for animals is second nature to me. I’m patient, attentive, and able to quickly understand each pet’s unique needs, whether that’s exercise, medication support, or simply making them feel safe and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I have three cats and a pitbull at home. I’m flexible and already plan my days around feeding, cleaning, and care. I enjoy making time for walks, visits, and keeping pets comfortable and on schedule. In my home, I care for pets by maintaining a clean, safe, and calm environment, following feeding schedules, and giving consistent attention and affection. I have experience with cats and a pitbull, so I understand different temperaments and energy levels. In a client’s home, I respect their routines, follow all instructions closely, and make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I have been taking care of fur babies for over three years now and have experience administering medication, first aid, dog training and have lots of patience! I currently run my own business in Elizabeth nj and I bring my pups to work. I'm able to commute to neighboring cities. I work at my own office so I can be flexible with potty breaks, lunch and walks. Im available weekends aswell! I have a 3 year old pup of my own who loves to play! We use the yard for potty breaks and play time. My office allows dogs and is fully fenced and had light motion detection for night time. security cameras inside and outside. Since being a business owner has its perks , I can dedicate time for my pups! There’s no need to wait for potty or a walk around the block ! I have a good size yard and will always accompany the pups to the yard on a leash . I also work near a park reservation where the pups and I go for walks and explore !
“Jessica was fantastic! She gave our dog, Duke, so much love and attention! She was always on time and made everything regarding our pet’s care stress free when we were away. She’s very easy to work with and reliable. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with dogs around me since I was 10! I have experience with senior dogs and those that are sick or post-op. I also work well with high- (and low) energy dogs!

As I recently moved, I had to leave my fur babies behind with my family back home so it won’t be a worry if your fur babies don’t get along with other dogs :) For house-sitting/drop-in visits, anything you and your fur baby’s needs!

“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: My fiancé, Shandy, and I are extremely playful and caring people. We have had pets since a young age and know how to manage pets with social anxiety, rescued animals, animals with need of medication, etc. During our 2018 summer, my fiancé was interning at a Veterinarian clinic and her job was to feed, play, and inject/give animals their medication. If you need a pet sitter than let us know and if we’re available we will be able to give him/her the attention they need. My fiancé and I both work. Shandy works part-time so she will mostly be available but I work full-time 3-4 days a week so that’s why we work on this together. We will respect what is okay or not okay depending on each owner’s pets. For example, we can take them to dog parks if they get along with other dogs or if they don’t like being walked and only wee wee pad trained we will pick up after them.
“She took amazing care of my cat Jack. Everything was perfect from start to finish. I felt completely comfortable knowing Jack was in good hands. I really appreciated the updates and the way she treated him with so much kindness.”

About: Hello, I have been working in petcare professionally for 10 years. Lets chat and see what your furry friends needs are, and be sure we can attend a meet n greet. I make the time as long as my time doing it is respected. This is part of my daily routine so be sure to promptly send updates for care needs. I can offer a wide range of care preferences. Let me know what your pets home life style is and we can go from there.

About: What sets me apart is the amount of hands-on experience I’ve had caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, personalities, and needs. For four years, I cared for a senior dog until she peacefully passed away, which taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of providing specialized care. I’ve also cared for newborn puppies, assisted during a dog’s labor and birth, and helped families raise young puppies who needed constant attention and routine. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with a wide range of temperaments. Some have needed three walks a day and lots of playtime, while others preferred quiet companionship and their personal space. I’ve also worked with dogs that required extra patience due to anxiety, age, or unique behavioral needs. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality so I can provide the care that’s best for them. I’m experienced with different feeding schedules and specialized diets, and I understand how important it is to stick to a pet’s normal routine. I believe consistent communication is just as important as great pet care, so I make sure owners receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication while they’re away. I previously provided dog boarding in my own home, but now that I have two dogs of my own, I primarily offer care in my clients’ homes. This allows your pet to stay comfortable in their familiar environment while receiving attentive, personalized care with minimal disruption to their routine. My goal is simple: to treat every dog as if they were my own and give pet parents complete peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in caring, experienced, and reliable hands. I currently work part-time and have lots of flexibility in my schedule and can fit petsitting and pet care very well in my schedule. I currently do not offer pet care in my home for the safety of your pet and mine, but I will ensure safety at all times taking care of your pet by following any instructions left and being aware of the environment and home I am providing the service in.
About: My experience comes from caring for my aunt’s family dog and helping friends by caring for their pets while they’re away. I’ve enjoyed getting to know each pet’s personality, keeping them comfortable and cared for, and making sure they receive plenty of attention and love. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾❤️ I work full-time during the week, so my availability is primarily in the evenings and on weekends. I’m happy to coordinate ahead of time to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. 🐾 Every pet has different needs, routines, and personalities, so I tailor my care to each pet and their owner’s instructions. I’ll take the time to understand their routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, comfort level, and any special instructions before their stay or visit. As I continue building my experience through Rover, I’m open to different types of pets and services and will make sure each booking is a good fit for both the pet and me. My priority is creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment while keeping owners updated and giving their pets plenty of care and attention. 🐾
“Kristian did a great job with Olive! She is a shy kitty but warmed up to her quickly and I could tell based on our meet and greet that Kristian was genuinely invested in her wellbeing. She was very responsive and timely and I felt very comfortable leaving Olive in her care. I will definitely be booking with Kristian again and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter!!”

I had a wonderful experience with Alex! She was extremely communicative, reliable, and attentive to Brooklyn’s needs during her check-in visits. She followed all the care instructions I provided and made sure Brooklyn received the attention and care needed. Her thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and consistent communication gave me such peace of mind knowing Brooklyn was in great hands. It’s clear that Alex genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I truly appreciate the excellent care she provided and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
As always Noelle and Victor went above and beyond for our pups. Sundae is very timid and warmed up to them right away, that’s how you know they’re great. And Chili was super excited to see them which is no surprise, they’re besties lol. Thank you guys so much!!

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.
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 Staten Island 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.
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 .
