About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was in school—neighbors and friends would often ask for my help and thank me with small tips, which I used to buy school supplies. Over the years, my love for animals grew, and I eventually adopted my own dog, whom I’ve been caring for for the past nine years. I offer flexible availability on weekends at any time of day, which can be especially helpful in case of last-minute needs or emergencies. I kindly ask that you notify me at least three days in advance for any pet-sitting requests. I prioritize caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, as familiar surroundings can help reduce stress. I also enjoy taking them for walks in their neighborhood to keep them active and happy. I would have flexibility on weekends at any time of the day for greater comfort or if an emergency arises. 2 days before let me know about day sitting. Thank you I would care for your pet in the comforts of their space, sometimes it is easier when they recognize the space and additionally take them out for walks in their neighborhood.
About: I’ve had welcomed my first pet ever when I was 10 years old , then in 2012 I’ve have welcome another fur baby to the family . Being around my own personal pets made me love doing dog sitting a lot more so starting in 2013 I’ve decided to volunteer and also become employed with the services of onboarding , dog walking , etc . I love doing my job when it comes to pets because I think of them as my own. I am currently working Monday - Friday but my schedule is also very flexible. I am free on the weekends if services are needed as well. When caring for your pets in your home or my home they are well taken care of between any medications, a routine that they follow I will make sure that while your away they will be left in great hands .
“Karen was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Mia. This was our first time using Rover, and naturally we were a little nervous, but Karen immediately put our minds at ease. She was professional, reliable, and incredibly communicative throughout our entire trip. After every visit, she sent detailed updates with photos, letting us know exactly how Mia was doing, how much she ate, how she was behaving, and anything she noticed around the apartment. She also went above and beyond by keeping an eye on the AC, replenishing food and litter when needed, and paying attention to all the little details that made a big difference. Mia is a very shy cat who takes time to warm up to new people, and Karen was so patient and understanding with her. Even when Mia became fearful and scratched her, Karen remained calm, compassionate, and professional, always respecting Mia's boundaries while continuing to provide excellent care. Thanks to Karen, we were able to truly enjoy our vacation knowing our little girl was in caring and capable hands. We are incredibly grateful for the kindness, patience, and dedication she showed throughout the week. We would not hesitate to book Karen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, dependable, and experienced pet sitter.”
“Once again Kristine has been an outstanding cat sitter for us. We have had her watch our one cat before and recently got a sibling for him. She has magical powers and helped foster positive interactions with them both while we were away. She always takes great care of our cats and is such a great person to have come into your home to help out. Thanks Kristine for continuing to take great care of our cats time and time again. She goes the extra mile and I always feel relaxed knowing they are in great hands while we are away. She communicates after each visit, lets us know the details and is a joy to partner with. Thanks again Kristine!”
“Bella was the perfect sitter for my baby while I was away. I was never worried about her in the slightest and it was such an amazing piece of mind to know that Bella had her in good hands. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Jorge was fantastic. We met before the stay to talk through what the cats needed and I was immediately happy that he was looking after our cats. They took to him straight away. I received pictures of the cats and in depth reports about how they were doing and it put my mind at ease that they were being well taken care of. I will definitely be using Jorge next time I need a sitter.”
“Lizette was wonderful with our 2 kitties. She really took the time to let them start getting to know her. She is very caring and communication was clear and easy. Highly recommend and hope to have her back to care for them again!”
About: My 3 kids and I run a small business caring for animals mostly dogs. All 3 are in their 20’s. My son, Adam does most of the walks and house sitting, I handle the boarding. My reviews are not only for me but for my boys as well. I come from a long line of animal lovers and grew up with many dogs, cats, birds, hamsters. Animals are my life! 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
“Just the most communicative and helpful person! Did an incredible job while we were out of town and happily took an additional day and coordinated with someone else to exchange keys to accommodate our needs. Went above and beyond to make sure our pets and home were taken care of. So great to work with!”
About: I have had my own pets since I can remember ranging from cats, dogs, iguanas, hamsters, fish, salamanders, hermit crabs, and even chicks. Growing up, I spent my summers on my grandfather's farm raising cows, horses, pigs, cats, dogs, chickens and a rooster. I don't have and human kids but I have raised many fur babies. I am the go-to person for family and friends, especially for pets with very specific care instructions. I am in NYC; I drive and have a pretty flexible schedule at this time. My career outside of pets includes Human Resources Management and Operation Director at different schools. I am currently working for myself as a treat maker so I am very flexible with time. I also have a clean license and reliable transportation. I am currently in NYC but can travel to Westchester County and northern NJ as well. I love when a client gives me detailed instructions and will follow them to a tee. I am a very organized person with a high attention to detail who often goes above and beyond in everything I do. Because I have worked with children and at schools, I have been fingerprinted by NYS/NYC, Dept of Health and the NYC Dept of Ed.
“Elisa was a wonderful sitter for our two kitties. I greatly appreciated the extra effort she took to work with us when our schedule changed due to bad weather. And I know Jack enjoyed getting a little play time!”
“MaryAnn was wonderful! She took great care of our older cat while we were on vacation and sent regular updates on how he was doing. We’d definitely recommend MaryAnn!”

About: Hello! I’ve been in the pet care industry for 3 years professionally, and almost my whole life personally through friends and family. I’m an animal lover, and I’m ready to meet some new friends! I used to service dogs in East Midtown and have experience with many breeds and temperaments. I also own cats and have worked professionally as a cat sitter in Chelsea/Downtown. I recently moved to the area and can offer walks, sittings, and boarding. We can set up a free meet and greet to see how we can work together to help your companion thrive. I work 10am through 6pm Monday-Friday for walks, extra charge for anything outside of that time frame and weekends/holidays. Inquire about sittings/boardings. Safety is always my priority when it comes to any sort of service. I follow any given instructions and communicate with the parents if I have any questions/concerns. I’m also CPR certified.
“Jessica is such a kind and caring pet sitter. She really makes you feel as if your pet is the cutest and most wonderful creature she has ever met. (In the case of our Moma, I’m sure it’s true! :) She is very attentive to the instructions you leave and will ask questions to make sure she is caring for your pets in just the way you would do it yourself. I cannot recommend her more highly.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and currently have a 8 year old maltipoo named Ivy! My partner and I did Rover 6 years ago and loved it, so we’re back to meet more new doggies. I’ve cared for both big and small dogs, any size is welcome. We have a very spacious three bedroom townhome with lots of space. We have a large unfenced yard where the dogs can play on tie-outs. Love getting out and being active, so your dog and I can go on energetic walks or even runs with my partner. I work from home most of the week so my schedule is very flexible and happy to help! I’m currently working from home 2 days a week and my partner is home the other 2, so we will be able to offer a very flexible walk/potty schedule depending on eat dogs needs. My dog goes out every 2-4 hours and she gets lots of love throughout the day, but we have a backyard and are able to takes dogs for potty at any time! My backyard is unfenced on 2 sides a with a tree barrier on the unfenced sides, but we have many tie outs to make sure no one gets lost. I have lots of toys inside for playing and we treat all pets like they are our own. There is plenty of space in our 3 bedroom and 2 living room home and lots of dog beds for cuddling.
“This was our second time working with Sarah and we are so pleased with the care and attention she took with our cat, including giving her medication. We feel safe leaving our cat in Sarah’s care and we look forward using her services again!”
“Noelle was so great with my cat, she was great at communicating even while I was in a diffeeent country, and she gave a picture with every visit, keeping me updated on how they got along.”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 12 and have always enjoyed their company. This gives me the opportunity to be around pets because they bring me so much joy. My puppy is the sweetest and loves playing with other dogs. She is at her happiest when with another dog. They’ll become besties! I’m currently a student in college looking for the opportunity to fill my spare time with something I love to do. I’m available late mornings through early evenings for all dog care needs. I have a fenced backyard with space for their fun and a sectioned off turf area. I will provide treats, water, and plenty of opportunity for them to exercise as well as giving them an abundant amount of attention.

I can’t say enough good things about Lizette. She has gone above and beyond to make my shy cats feel happy and relaxed, which was especially appreciated during this last 2-week long trip. Thanks so much for coaxing out the kitties and giving them such good care and attention.
Lori took great care of our cat Pablo while we were away for over a week. She followed all the instructions we left for her so well and even managed to give Pablo his liquid oral medication with no issues which is a challenge! We really appreciate Lori’s help and plan to definitely reach out to her again in the future.

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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
