“Amazing! Julia was so, so good with my fluffy baby and was communicative, easy to work with and kind. My cat is an anxious girl who’s particular about new people, but she warmed to Julia within a couple days, which simply speaks volumes. Excellent sitter, and would easily hire again. 👍🏽.”


“Kelly was great! She was so patient with my shy cat and even sat with her while she ate. I had such peace of mind while she took care of my furbabies. I will definitely rebook her again 😻😻”


“Kathy is so wonderful. It’s been hard to trust someone with our baby but she has made it very easy. I can tell Jagger loves her and we’ve been so so happy to have someone who is so caring and good with him. Thank you Kathy!! ❤️”

“Amanda is amazing! Had an impromptu emergency that kept me away from home and Amanda was available with extremely short notice. She’s communicative and attentive. She offered a flexible schedule when requested.”

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog owner with years of experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve cared for a wide range of pets—from large breeds like Mastiffs to small dogs and indoor cats—adapting to each pet’s unique needs and routines. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to making pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m excited to spend my free time meeting new pets and treating them as if they were my own! As a current medical student who is miles away from my own furry friend, I’m excited to spend my free time caring for others’ pets. I have a flexible schedule and am available most weekday mornings, late afternoons, and evenings for walks or drop-in visits, as well as longer care on weekends. I’m reliable with timing and always aim to accommodate your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide consistent, personalized care. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and aim to maintain your pet’s normal environment to help them feel at ease. I’m attentive during walks and visits, keeping a close eye on behavior, surroundings, and any potential safety concerns. I understand the anxiety that comes with leaving your pets in the hands of others. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and trustworthy experience for both you and your pet.
“Amber was absolutely amazing with both of my cats while I was out of the country for a wedding. She went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for and loved. She kept me updated with pictures and had great communication the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind being away. I could tell my cats were happy and comfortable in her care. I’ll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: I have pet sit other dogs prior but the one dog that sticks out is my sister’s black lab. Shakira was a black lab mutt with an auto immune disease. She needed twice daily medication and to be taken out side frequently. I work nights as a custodian for a school district ! So I’m available early to mid mornings for walks or house sitting over the weekends. As I have a cat, my number one priority for him is always making sure the doors are shut. He’s an indoor kitty and I ensure that it stays that way. Always guaranteed to have food and water and a clean litter box.

About: I lovingly cared for my sweet dog for 11 years, treating him like my own child. I provided constant care and medication management during his final days. I’m now a proud cat mom to two adorable kitties! I’ve also pet-sat for friends and family, and nothing makes me happier than loving on furry friends. Your pets will receive all the affection, patience, and attention they deserve, because I’ll treat them like my own! I’m available full-time to care for your pets because this is my true passion.

About: My background in canine care began at the Little Shelter Animal Adoption Center in Huntington, NY in 2008. I was employed there for several years as a dog walker and socializer, working with a wide variety of dogs and puppies from many different walks of life. All of the dogs were rescues, and so special care needed to be provided, with exercise, playtime, feeding, and even medication distribution. After working at the shelter, I found myself at a few local grooming parlors, working as a bather. As you've probably experienced, most dogs do not love being bathed and groomed, and so I would try my very best to make them comfortable in the unfamiliar situation they were in, taking the time to check in on them frequently and give them lots of reassurance and loving. Patience goes a long way! In January of 2015 I had my first two-month long house and pet sitting job. However, since then I've been working a full time office job and have been unable to enjoy much time with canine companions. I will regularly pet sit for close friends and family, but I'm ready to spend more time around furry friends! I'd love to meet you and your pup and ensure that they're properly taken care of and loved while you're out on the weekend, working, or away on vacation! I'm currently working part-time, with a very flexible schedule, so there's a good chance I'll be able to accommodate your scheduling needs! Reach out to me with any questions. I have two cats at who are cautious of other animals, so I'm happy to care for your pet in your home! I'd love to learn about your pet's routine and preferences to provide them the best care possible.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had dogs and other pets. I’ve also cared for family and friends’ dogs over the years, so I’m comfortable with a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have experience with both playful puppies and senior dogs who may need a little extra patience and care. Whether your dog needs a walk to burn off some energy, a potty break, playtime, fresh food and water, or just some company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for every visit. ! currently work and am a full-time student, but I have dedicated time throughout the week for pet care. I’m available Monday through Wednesday in the mornings and afternoons, and Thursday evenings. Weekend availability varies since I work most weekends, but I do have occasional openings. If you have a specific date or time in mind, feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. During every visit, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding, refilling water, giving treats, going for a walk, playing, or simply spending time keeping them company. I’ll make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times and will always respect your home and follow any instructions you provide. I know every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I’ll take the time to get to know them and earn their trust. I’ll also send updates and photos after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Chelsea was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and I was unsure of the process and booking procedures. But once I met with Chelsea, she was very professional and listened to what I needed for my trip. I had booked her and went on a two-week vacation - and I felt very comfortable within the first couple of days, as Chelsea had went above and beyond, feeding my four cats and bird and providing exceptional updates with photos and messages. She was communicative, prompt, and very friendly to my cats. I would book her again without a doubt - excellent cat sitter and highly recommended! I am very satisfied.”

“This was my first time using Isabella (Bella) and I was more than satisfied. I have four cats on four different types of food and two are on medications more than once a day. Bella followed the instructions for my complicated household perfectly and was in communication about updates the entire time. Additionally, one of my cats on medication gave Bella a very hard time. She was still able to medicate him which was no easy feat. I dont think anyone but a true, licensed professional like Bella would have been able to. I have the utmost trust and the highest rating for Bella, who succeeded my expectations. Bella is a reliable, compassionate sitter and I'd use her again in a heartbeat.”

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.

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.
