“Anthony was amazing my dog was perfectly cared for. He was really good with and extremely kind. Kept me up to date with everything that was happing with my dog and would always ask if there was anything he needed to do extra. Would highly recommend and will most definitely use again.”
About: I’ve been taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I always had love for dogs in all sizes and their different personalities. Since having a dog on my own last year I’ve learned to practice training and grooming all by myself. I love to spend lots of time to make sure our furry friends stays healthy and happy with full attention and care. I am currently at home most of the time which I spend my day with my dog. I take walks daily morning, afternoon, and night. Feel free to ask for availability. I live in a condo. My dog Bagel is a friendly 4 year old girl that is friendly and full of energy. Treats, toys, extra leash, water bowl could be provided. (If needed) I have Pet First Aid/CPR certification for emergencies.
“Katie is reliable and sensitive to our cat’s personality and needs. She also sent terrific photos while we were away, which were both amusing and reassuring to receive during our travels.”
“Kat is a true animal whisperer. She took excellent care of my two senior cats and even got my shy girl to come out of her favorite hiding spot for some cuddles. Trustworthy, reliable and communicative. I recommend her highly!”
About: What sets me apart is my ability to be both caring and dependable in moments that require real attentiveness—something I’ve developed through years of working in community programs, internships, and leadership roles. Whether I was leading a team project, supporting a friend, or organizing events through my cycling club, I’ve always been someone who shows up fully and handles responsibility with care. I bring that same energy to pet care—tuning into each animal’s needs, whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy or being patient with a senior pet. I’m calm, communicative, and take pride in making both pets and their owners feel secure and understood. As a recent grad preparing for law school and transitioning into the workforce, my schedule is relatively flexible—especially during the weekdays. Pet care has been a grounding and fulfilling part of my routine. It gives me the chance to stay active, present, and connected in a meaningful way while balancing studying and professional goals. I genuinely enjoy the rhythm of it, and I treat every booking with the same level of care and responsibility I bring to my academic and work commitments. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I love making sure everyone—pets and people—feels comfortable, safe, and at ease. That’s something I’ve really practiced through leading Catching Wind, the cycling and wellness club I started in college. Creating a space where people felt welcomed, supported, and looked after—whether they were riding for the first time or just needed community—taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and how to care for different needs. I bring that same approach to pet care. I listen closely, follow instructions, respect your space, and aim to create an environment where your pet feels loved, relaxed, and understood.
“We had a fantastic experience with Nicole! This was our first time leaving our cat while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after her. She was punctual, very communicative throughout our trip, and clearly took great care of our cat—she seemed happy, relaxed, and well looked after when we got home. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be reaching out again for future trips!”
“Jillian did a great job with my puppy. My puppy was a bit nervous around her as it was the first time meeting her without me, but Jillian managed to gain her trust and take her out for her potty break. Well done!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. As a lifelong dog lover and a proud dog mom myself, I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. What sets me apart is the personal attention and genuine care I provide. I want every dog staying with me to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and truly at home. I’m patient with puppies and energetic dogs who need extra playtime and attention, and I’m equally happy caring for older or more relaxed dogs who prefer a quieter environment and a slower pace. I take the time to learn your dog’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking habits, favorite activities, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to care for your fur baby the same way I would want someone to care for my own, like part of the family. I’m a real estate agent with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets in my care. I’m able to provide plenty of attention throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love and companionship. Since I have dogs of my own, pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. Your pup will be treated like part of the family while staying with me! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I provide a clean, loving, and supervised home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where they can safely enjoy fresh air, potty breaks, and playtime, as well as a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and any special needs. I understand that every dog has a different personality, so I take the time to help each pet feel comfortable and adjust at their own pace. I have two friendly dogs of my own who are used to sharing their home, but I also have the ability to keep them separate from guest dogs if needed. This allows me to accommodate dogs who may prefer their own space or need a calmer environment. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while staying in my home.
About: Hi! I’m Zara, and caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the past 6 years, I’ve gained experience through dog walking, house sitting, and fostering a wide range of animals, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. A lot of my experience is personal, which I think makes it even more meaningful. I grew up with a family dog and learned early on what it means to be responsible for and truly bond with an animal. I also rescued and raised a stray kitten from just 4 weeks old, which was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had. Since then, I’ve continued fostering kittens, puppies, cats, and dogs, all with different personalities, needs, and routines. I genuinely love getting to know each pet and what makes them comfortable, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just having someone calm and reliable around. I treat every animal like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the week. I’m generally available most days, with limited availability on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 9–1. Otherwise, I’m open and can accommodate a variety of schedules. I always tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and the owner’s preferences. I know every pet is different, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or just how their pet likes to relax. I focus on creating a comfortable, safe, and stress-free environment while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care.
About: Hi I’m Tara! I grew up my entire life with anywhere from 1-3 dogs and have a hard time not saying hello to every dog I pass on the sidewalk. While I do not have my own dog in NYC, I really miss spending time with animals and would love to get to know your pet! I live in an elevator and doorman building in a large 1 BR apartment with room for your pet to move around comfortably. I have quick access to the East River for nice walks or can travel up to Central Park or Bryant Park. I am true animal-lover and would be thrilled to help you out by providing a welcoming, fun, and comfortable place for your pet to stay. I am extremely responsible, responsive, friendly, caring, but most importantly will treat your pet like my own – giving them all my love, care, and attention. I'm currently working from home, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays, and can take your dog for multiple walks during the day! I have a spacious one bedroom apartment for your dog to play around in, I also live on a quiet residential street and can play all day long! Although I don’ t have a crate, I am happy to crate your dog if you’d like to bring one!
About: I live with and care for two dogs every day, an Olde English Bulldog & a Frenchie, my two lovable shadows. Living with these goofballs means I know brachycephalic breads well, when they've had enough sun, and when the walk needs to slow down. I have experience with senior dogs and IVDD. Feeding, walking, running, cuddling, companionship, I am comfortable well beyond just walks, so home visits and check-ins are right up my alley. I lift weights four times a week, so big, strong, or energetic pups don't faze me. I have been dog walking off Rover for some time in the area, and am now bringing my services to the greater public. I currently have a flexible, open schedule and can accommodate walks (or runs) and visits throughout the day, including short notice requests. Mornings, afternoons, and evenings all work for me, and I am happy to build a consistent routine around your pup's needs. When caring for pets in a clients home, I am respectful of both their space and their pet's routine. I take the time to help pets feel comfortable with me, give them plenty of attention and exercise based on their individual needs, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe and happy while they are away.
About: I have been taking care and pet sitting all kinds of pets and animals since I was 16 years old. I have worked in dog daycares and boarding facilities for around 3 years. I have been trained in dog behavior, temperament, and care. I have a lot of experience with providing dogs and other pets with the proper care they deserve. I love all kinds of animals and want to provide the best care for your pets. I am currently not working so I have lots of available time to provide visits and care for your pets. I am more available during the daytime but can do evening visits as well. I cannot provide care in my own home but I am very open and willing to provide care in my clients home. I love and care about routines so any routine your pet needs to follow I will be able to provide that in my clients home.
“Claire was a great help in caring for my two cats during a time when I needed it. She was reliable and stayed in close contact with me, being sure to reach out if she had any questions. She did a nice job of attending to the needs of my kitties. I appreciated the help and will call on her again.”
About: Looking for a quieter alternative to a busy boarding facility? I keep my bookings limited so your dog gets plenty of individual attention and can settle into a comfortable home environment. I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. As a former dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet while you’re away. I provide a comfortable, home-like environment and give each dog plenty of individual attention, affection, walks, playtime, and downtime. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering medications, and keeping up with your dog’s normal routine. I intentionally keep my bookings limited so every dog gets the attention and care they deserve. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care depending on your needs. I’m available during weekdays and weekends, and I always do my best to work around your pet’s routine. I’m reliable, responsive, and will make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Summit
Thank you Victoria, for sitting my cat. I am so glad that I could find her through Rover. She is an excellent person and she took care of my cat like one of her own. My cat became little sick and had stopped eating. Victoria took the trouble to get some treats for my cat and then sat and took time to feed him. She is so kind and loving. I will book her again when required.
Shabazz was absolutely wonderful taking care of our cat while we were away! He was extremely reliable, followed all feeding and care instructions, and sent the cutest photo updates and detailed notes during every visit. Shabazz went above and beyond and i could tell my kitty was a happy kitty. I definitely recommend him and will book again!
Kendall saved our plans after our usual sitter flaked out at the last minute. She came by the day before to meet the dogs with pretty much no notice. One of our puppies is very high energy and I could tell that he'd been run around enough while we were gone. She was very communicative and kept us updated all day. I'm sure we'll be using her again!
Great experience! Siyi kept me updated with photos and videos every visit, which really put me at ease. She even did an extra unscheduled stop before Thanksgiving dinner to make sure my cat had enough food since I was returning that night. Very caring and reliable — highly recommend!
Ashley took great care of my cat while I was traveling! She was very communicative and flexible with scheduling the meet and greet and during my trip. She’s also incredibly friendly and trustworthy so I felt safe with her coming into my home when I wasn’t there. Joseph liked her too! He didn’t even get up from his nap when I walked in the door - which has never happened before bc of his separation anxiety. I’d definitely book with her again!

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 .
