“Peyton was amazing! We were looking for some last minute doggie care, and Peyton was very communicative, friendly, professional, and kind right from the start. Throughout her visits, she was always on time and gave detailed updates with photos. We knew our dogs were in great hands! Even when surprises were thrown her way, Peyton handled every situation with care and grace. We would happily have Peyton back to care for our beloved animals!”

About: Hi, I’m Dani! I’m a lifelong animal lover, and I’ve had pets for over a decade. I’ve always felt a strong connection with animals, and being around them is where I feel most relaxed and at ease. I have a degree in Psychology and several years of experience working in education, and I currently work as a special education teacher. I’m naturally patient and attentive, and my background in psychology and education has given me a strong understanding of individual needs, personalities, and different ways of communicating. I bring that same patience and attentiveness into caring for animals. I want to get to know your pet as an individual and understand what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else. They’re family, and I understand the worry, sadness, and anxiety that can come with being away from them. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. I’m always happy to send photos, videos, and updates, and I want you to feel comfortable sharing anything that helps me give your pet the best possible care. At the end of the day, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I want you to be able to enjoy your time away! I'm so excited to meet you and your pets! I have plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week! I’m available weekday evenings after 5 PM, as well as weekends, holidays, school breaks, and school closure days. I work at a school, so I have additional daytime availability throughout the year. I’m happy to work with your schedule and do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs! I am happy to offer dog walking and pet sitting services! I have a dog and cat of my own at home so I am willing to watch your pets in the comfort of their own home.
“Andrew takes great care of our 2 cats. He always replies quickly, was very thoughtful during our meet and when taking care of our cats. We have been away with peace of mind thanks to him”


“Kahmayah took my request last minute and literally saved my vacation as I would not have been able to go without her. I received pictures and videos daily and my pets were so happy and relaxed. Kahmayah even went out of her way to get here and to grab some food midway through the stay. I will rebook her again next time I go away! I highly recommend her.”


“I was so sad to leave my cat alone for the first time in years, and I can’t express what a godsend Selina was to me and him— she made the whole thing stress-free and easy!! I looked forward to her sweet updates and adorable pictures every day!! She took amazing care of him, and it was such a relief knowing he had a buddy checking in on him while I was gone. Would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.”

“Draco was looking comfortable and happy in his carrier when I went to pick him up, I can always tell how the stay went by his attitude at pick up and he was calm as if he didn't want to leave. He didn't meow or anything on the way home, his attitude said it all! When texted for updates Wilson was always responsive and quick to offer solutions to problems, ie how I could get my cat to him on less than 2 hours notice. Love that he was open to short notice booking and super flexible with working around both our schedules! Appreciated that I was able to find Draco care I could trust in such a short amount of time!”

They offer unconditional love and rely on us to give them love, affection and to meet all of their basic needs. I own my own home on a private dead end street. When your fur babies are here, they are part of our family and are never left alone. There is always someone at home. My mission is to make sure all pups in my care, feel safe, loved and happy. I recently left my job in the medical field. I’m spending my time now with my adult children and my dogs. Life is too short to not do what you love everyday Safety is a priority in my home and I live on a private street with only two houses so there is absolutely zero traffic here

“Anna-Laurie was a blessing, through and through. She took GREAT care of our two lil feline furballs— with excellent report cards that were so personal, thorough, and full of photos. She has an excellent personality to boot 👢Will 110% rebook with her in the future (and you should too).”

About: My name is Nasima, and I genuinely love caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, so I always tailor my care around what makes them feel safest, happiest, and most comfortable. I live in Teaneck, just minutes away from Overpeck County Park, with plenty of other nearby parks, shaded walking areas, and space for safe, enjoyable walks. Whether your pet loves long adventures, relaxed strolls, playtime, or simply extra attention and companionship, I tailor their care around what makes them happiest. You can expect reliable communication, thoughtful updates, plenty of photos, and the peace of mind that your pet is being cared for as if they were my own. I have Tuesday through Friday most weeks free, weekends sometimes too, while I’m studying throughout the week. I’m pretty active so I love going outside frequently for walks, getting fresh air and enjoying nature. I am very organized, clean and mindful. I’ll respect your home and space and do my best to leave it better than I found it.
“Theo did an excellent job taking care of our cats. We booked him to house sit our two cats while we were away for nine days. He followed all of our instructions, and we came home to happy cats. He has a deep understanding of cat psychology, and he spent a ton of time interacting with our cats. We really appreciate him going above and beyond and will be booking him again!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for my family my whole life and make it a habit to help animals and pets' humans happier and healthier!! I work part-time as a personal trainer which means my schedule is made by me, flexible, and pretty open! I love to make time to spend time with animals and help out where I can. I have a clean apartment with easy access to outside for walks and potty breaks, and my neighborhood couldn't be more welcoming to a new friend for walks and play!

About: My life has always been measured in the animals who’ve walked beside me. My very first furry friend was a dog my mother rescued the day I was born; a stray who chose us as much as we chose her. She watched over me as I grew, and when she passed, our home filled again with life: a white German shepherd, a Siberian husky, a Chesapeake Bay retriever, and two rescue dogs who completed our pack of five. Alongside them were rabbits, birds, and fish, each one a small heartbeat that shaped my understanding of care, patience, and love. I grew up feeding, walking, grooming, training, and comforting animals of every age and temperament. I’ve raised puppies from their first steps, and I’ve supported senior dogs through their gentle final years. I’ve administered medication, helped dogs with mobility needs, used ramps, changed diapers, and adapted to whatever made them feel safe and dignified. To me, these things aren’t chores, they’re acts of love. During my undergraduate studies, I also trained to become a veterinarian, deepening my understanding of animal health, behavior, and compassionate handling. As part of that training, I traveled to Thailand for two weeks to volunteer at a dog and cat shelter, where I supported stray animals and assisted licensed veterinarians with spay and neuter procedures. Despite switching my studies to social work, my experience strengthened my belief that animals are more than companions, they are beings who trust us with their safety, their comfort, and their hearts. Caring for them is both a responsibility and a privilege, and it’s one I carry with deep respect. Most recently, I rescued a senior “big brown dog” whose owner passed away. He now lives with my mother, but he’s still part of my heart. Even though I don’t currently have animals in my home, caring for them has never stopped being part of my life. I regularly board, walk, and look after family members’ dogs and cats, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I don’t see animals as “pets.” I see them as family; quiet companions who trust us with their whole hearts. They deserve to be cherished, comforted, and understood. They give us their loyalty without hesitation, and I believe the least we can do is return that devotion with gentleness, patience, and joy. If you choose me to care for your family member's needs, I will honor the love you have for them. I will treat them with the same tenderness I’ve given every animal who has shaped my life. Your dog won’t just be watched; they’ll be welcomed, respected, and cared for as the family member they are. I’m a part‑time student, and my partner works from home, so your pet will always have company, attention, and a consistent routine. I adapt my schedule to fit your pet’s needs, whether that means frequent walks, medication timing, extra potty breaks, or a slower pace for seniors. You’ll never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing; I’m happy to send photos, videos, and updates throughout the day so you always feel connected. I’m easily reachable by text and respond quickly, making sure you feel supported and informed while your pet is in my care. My goal is to create a seamless, comforting experience for both you and your beloved companion. Your pet’s safety and comfort guide everything I do. I live in a pet‑friendly apartment building where other dogs are present, but I’m always able to keep your animal completely separate if they prefer people over other pets. My home is a bi‑level space with hardwood floors, and I’m attentive to accessibility needs. If your four‑legged family member can’t manage stairs, I’m more than willing to carry them or stay downstairs with them so they feel secure, supported, and never alone. I live right next to a dog park for pups who love to socialize, and I’m surrounded by green spaces and the Charles River for peaceful walks, fresh air, and enrichment tailored to your pet’s personality. Above all, I create an environment where your animal is treated with gentleness, respect, and the same love I give my own.

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 .
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 .
