“Kayla was wonderful! She was very attentive, communicated clearly throughout, and truly went above and beyond. I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in such great hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Jenna is amazing! I have complete peace of mind knowing she's taking care of my baby. This is the second time she took care of my cat and I will definitely request her again! 😁”
“Tee is amazing! Always on time and on top of everything. Great communication… Keeps me informed throughout the visit. Thumbs up all around, would highly recommend!”
“Oleg was nothing short of incredible. My wife and I were traveling for our wedding and we hadn't used Rover before. Oleg put any nerves we had about leaving our pets alone at ease. He was communicative, caring, and you could tell he really enjoyed playing with the cats. He stayed later than required in all three visits and blew up our phones with pictures and videos. I highly recommend Oleg and would definitely book him again.”
About: I was 13 when I got my first Pomeranian puppy. Having a Pomeranian helped teach me patience, calming down an anxious puppy, and understanding boundaries. I also have experience with more hyper breeds such as border collies. When I was 17 my brother bought home a border collie and I helped raise him a lot. I also had many lizards and hamsters. I love bonding with different animals and getting to know their unique personalities. Currently working part time. So I have plenty of time to myself. I am looking for something that makes me feel more connected with myself so I am giving rover a try :) I care for my pets by simply being gentle and trying to understand them. For example- my dog hates the broom when I am sweeping. Instead of yelling at her I put down the broom, picked her up and told her it’s okay. I set her down on my bed, gave her a biscuit, and picked up the broom. As I did this I spoke in a soft voice and told her she’s being good and that it’s okay.
“We truly hit the pet-sitter jackpot. I hesitate to leave this review for fear that Tammy will become so beloved across Rover she will no longer have time for us! From the moment we met Tammy, it was clear our cats were possibly in better hands than our own (honestly, they seemed a little disappointed when we came back). Updates were consistent, thoughtful, and often included photos that looked like they belonged in a pet lifestyle magazine—somehow capturing both chaos and cuteness in equal measure. Our home was cared for, our girls were happy, and we’re fairly certain they learned better manners while we were gone which raises some questions about our own management style. What really stood out was the genuine care and attention—this wasn’t just “checking in,” it was full-on VIP treatment. Visits weren’t rushed, playtime wasn’t optional, and every detail was handled like it mattered (because it does). If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and clearly loved by animals, stop looking—you’ve found them. Just be warned: your pets may start expecting this level of service from you afterward. I still haven't mastered Tammy's double-Churu-dispensing skills, and the judgment from our girls is palpable.”
“Abigail was excellent with our dog. She was always on time and made sure Hazel got lots of exercise and attention when she visited. She listened to our needs and made sure to follow everything we asked of her and kept Hazel's routines as close as to what she was already used to. Our dog loved her and we will def be using Abigail again.”
About: I have taken care of my neighborhood dogs for the past few years. I have also been setting up occurring dog play dates around my neighborhood and dog walks. I am currently working remotely and am pretty flexible when it comes to walking dogs or stopping by for a drop-in visit. I am available Mondays to Thursdays and occasionally over the weekends as well. I regularly walk my dog Bandi; and create a safe and inclusive community by setting up dog play dates with the dogs in my neighborhood.
“The best of the best!!! If I could give Ursula a million stars I would. She watched my three cats when we went on a family vacation. I was nervous leaving them in the care of a stranger. She came to my house to meet me and them, and the second I met her I felt at ease and knew my babies were going to be in great hands. She is a licensed vet tech which certainly was a plus for me, but besides that, her entire demeanor was just wonderful. She did twice daily drop in visits and sent me pics, videos and write ups about each visit assuring me that my babies were all doing great. She literally went above and beyond and I thank my lucky stars that Rover led us to her. I am now spoiled and can never use another pet sitter, because she truly is the best.”
About: *DOGS MUST BE GOOD WITH OTHER DOGS AND CATS* (I have THREE CATS and A DOG!!) My times for daycare are 8 am - 6 pm ONLY! (Mon-Fri) if outside this range, I will discuss additional payment. I have had dogs since I was a child. I’ve always had a love and care for any animal no matter the breed or size. During college, I worked at a vet as a daycare kennel assistant where I gained knowledge on the care of dogs. I know how to walk dogs, bathe them, cut their nails, etc. I work from home so I’m able to look over your fur baby! My boyfriend helps me from time to time and will help me look after any animal I have. I do go to the gym every so often so your dog needs to be able to be by themselves at least 1 hour, either crate trained or is able to be out without scratching or destroying anything. I have a fenced yard and live in a dog friendly neighborhood. I have a border collie mix and 3 cats in my house who are used to being around other dogs and mostly keep to themselves! If needed, my cats are able to be separated from your fur baby but I prefer friendly dogs!
“Beth was absolutely amazing. Reliable dependable and peace of mind. Ruby was very happy. I would use Beth every time I go away. She’s a real gem. I am lucky to have found her.”
“Alexis was wonderful with my dog and cat. She met them a week before. My dog instantly got along with her. Alexis has a very kind and caring aura to her that my pets picked up on and were comfortable with her right away. My husband and I will be reaching out to her for any future trips.”
“Amazing sitter! My kitty kitty couldn’t wait for her to arrive every day. Going above and beyond, sitting and spending time with my kitty, making sure he had plenty of pets and love. Changing his food and water daily with multiple photos and videos to keep me in the loop. Noelle did a fantastic job and definitely will be using her again!”
“Excellent experience with Lin. She went above and beyond to make sure our cats had everything they needed. Communicating with every visit with pictures and details, letting us know the exact situation, was very helpful to keep us reassured everything was fine.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every pet. I truly treat animals like family, and I know how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable and updated while they’re away. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their normal routine. I’m dependable, communicative, and pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs — whether that means extra playtime for energetic dogs, patience with shy or anxious pets, or a slower pace and gentle care for senior dogs. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy making time for. I’m used to planning my days around feeding schedules, walks, check-ins, and giving pets the attention and consistency they need. I care for animals every day, including feeding and looking after stray cats in my area, so caring for pets feels very natural to me and is something I’m committed to year-round. I enjoy being active, spending time outdoors, and giving pets companionship, exercise, and comfort while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and sleep schedules closely so pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship — not just the basics. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they always know how their pet is doing. For dogs, I focus on safe walks, play, bathroom breaks, and making sure they get enough activity and affection based on their energy level and personality. For cats, I understand the importance of patience and routine, especially with shy or anxious cats, and I make sure litter boxes, feeding areas, and water stay clean and fresh. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and comfort and will always let owners know right away if something seems unusual. My goal is for pets to feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. 🐾
About: Hello fellow animal lovers. I am a Veterinary Technician with over 20 years of experience for caring for hundreds of dogs, cats, birds and any kind of animal you can think of. My husband Andres is also a vet tech with over 15 years of experience and he helps me take care of any of the pets I watch. I used to mainly watch dogs in my home but since Covid we had a baby and she is allergic to dogs so I can't board in my home anymore which makes me very sad. Hopefully my daughter will grow out of her allergies eventually because we really do miss having dogs in our home and she loves dogs too. So now I can only do drop in visits at your home for any type of pet. I am currently not working and am a stay at home Mom but my daughter is in school now so I can do drop ins during school hours and then after my husband comes home from work in the evenings. I have dedicated my life to caring for and helping all animals and I have loved every second of it. I have experience with every age, breed, species and medical problem. I have years of experience of caring for any illness, physical and behavioral problems and administering any medications or medical treatments necessary. I have had many dogs, cats and other small creatures of my own that i have loved and cared for over the years as well. I love taking dogs out to play and bringing them to the park or wherever they enjoy going to the most. I have a car and can travel to any part of Staten Island. Nothing makes me happier than spending time and playing with as many little fur babies as i can. You can set your mind at ease knowing that experienced, caring veterinary technicians are caring for your precious baby while you are away.

About: Pups have been a part of my life since I can remember. I grew up loving & caring for our family dogs - Max our rambunctious Dachshund & Pulco our gentle giant Lab Retriever. Since Max & Pulco I have been a second mom to all of my friends pups whenever they need a walk a home away from home stay or simply a play date. My freelance work schedule allows me time to dedicate to my love of dogs. I live in a house with a very large fenced backyard. Aside from walks pup who stay with me will always have access to the yard granting them extra outdoor exercise & playtime.

Alexis is wonderful! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter! She put our family at ease when she met us and our two cats before our vacation. She listened and followed through on all their needs while we were away posting great photos and Rover notes after each visit. She is truly caring and made sure the cats had playtime and their medication. We will definitely be contacting her again for future trips!
Andrew is amazing right from the meet and greet through taking care of my two dogs while I was away. The dogs loved him! He was prompt and very reliable. Sent me pictures of the dogs on every visit he made to them. While talking about the dogs to him he gave me so tips about my concerns. He's trustworthy and reliable.
Lin was amazing with Simba and Sydney! She took such great care of them, played with them, and treated them like her own. She even brought over a can of wet food for them to try, which was so thoughtful. I really appreciated all the updates and the love she gave them. She also brought a letter from her cat, Wednesday, and my cats loved it! I came home to two very happy cats. Thank you so much, Lin! I’ll definitely book with you again.
Kayla was wonderful! She was very attentive, communicated clearly throughout, and truly went above and beyond. I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in such great hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

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!!
This is the second time Taylor has taken care of my 5 cats. She was great with them and they can sometimes be handful. One is on a special diet and others need to be monitored as they eat. She followed all instructions and sent great pictures. I would definitely trust her with my furbabies again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Staten Island on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 27,290 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Staten Island. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Staten Island stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Staten Island. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
