“Shaun and his family were an amazing host! He took very good care of our dog, taking her on daily walks, playing with her and sending frequent updates and pictures. We highly recommend Shaun and will look for him in the future.”
About: When I was 11 years old, I brought home a Collie named Lucy. She was a sweet girl, and our whole neighborhood helped feed and care for her. That’s when I truly fell in love with dogs. I would love to spend time with your pet and give them the same love, attention, and care. Your dog will be treated like family and surrounded by love and kindness. 🐾 I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pups. I’d love to take them for walks, play with them, and give them lots of love and attention! 🐾❤️ I will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in my home. I will follow their regular feeding, walking, and potty schedule, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they always have fresh water. I will also respect their individual personality and needs. My goal is for your pet to feel at home while you’re away. 🐾❤️
“Jen was super flexible on drop-off & pick up times & extended schedule. She was proactive in sending photos of my dog from walks & generous in using extra dog booties on my dogs paws to keep him cleaner. Last minute I had some probiotics & med to give my dog & she was ok with that too! I would definitely be confortable leaving my fur baby with Jen & highly recommend her.”
“I am very happy with Caroline, she was very welcoming and we did a visit before actual booking. This was my fist time using this service. I definitely RECOMMEND booking Caroline she was amazing she sends plenty of updates and photos. My Hart had an awesome time. Thank you Caroline you are the best.❤️❤️👏🏽👏🏽”
“Ekaterina and her family took amazing care of our dog, Arlo. She sent photo updates several times and a day, followed diet instructions, and was always responsive. Would love for her family to watch Arlo the next time we go out of town.”
“Sue is a great sitter who was very accommodating and made our pup feel right at home. She followed our instructions and put our minds at ease and provided plenty of photos and updates on how our pup was doing. Will definitely ask her to watch our dog again in the future!”
“Jessica and her family were fantastic! I had a very last minute need and Jessica was so flexible and accommodating. Jessica sent me frequent updates and pictures, I felt like I was there with them! My dog Dolly left happy, very well taken care of, and tired. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you, Jessica!”
“Amrit was amazing with Pepper. He was so sweet and attentive to her and sent me updates and pictures daily. It didn’t seem like a job for him- he genuinely enjoyed taking care of her. His house was clean and safe. I highly recommend him!!”
“It was our first time using Rover and Jessica F.'s stay for our Bori (15lbs, Cavapoo). She not only sent photos and videos several times a day throughout the stay but also took very good care of our dog. We were worried that Bori wouldn't want to come home after the wonderful experience with her and her family. The fenced backyard she has is very good (Bori played a lot in the sun and the yard) and she has a separate stay area for the dogs. I will definitely ask her again for her help in the future! Thank you!”
“Our dog Monster had a fantastic stay with Michelle. We felt very comfortable leaving him with her family for 9 days while we were away. She provided multiple updates throughout our trip, and it was easy to tell Monster was having a great time. Highly recommend!”
“Nadine & Tom were fantastic caretakers for our dog, Ellie. This was our first time using someone outside of family to watch her, so we were a bit nervous, but we couldn’t have been more thrilled with the experience. We were looking for someone warm and attentive who would give Ellie personalized care, and that’s exactly what we found with Nadine and Tom. Ellie can be anxious around other dogs, so it meant so much to us that she was able to stay with Nadine and Tom one-on-one. They truly made her feel comfortable and at home. We especially appreciated the daily photos and thoughtful updates, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Nadine & Tom and would absolutely book with them again.”
“Stan and Barbara were wonderful! Our dog felt comfortable right away and we could see how happy he was in all the pictures they sent us. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Cooper with them again. We are very grateful we found them.”
“I am very thankful and appreciative for your care and love for my dog. I really enjoyed receiving photos and update while I was away, that really eased my mind. I highly recommend !”
“Melanie, simply put, is one of the very best dog sitters we have ever come across. Our beloved beagle is a senior dog with health issues and anxiety, and Melanie puts her right at ease. She takes amazing care of her, as if she was her own. Melanie sends us pictures and updates and it makes us so much more comfortable to know our dog is comfortable with Melanie. We can tell as soon as we enter her home that our pup is happy to be there. I really don't know what we'd do without Melanie! She's truly terrific and we are so grateful.”
“Milena was amazing I felt so comfortable leaving my sick girl with her. She was careful to write down all medication instructions (4 different medications taken 2 or 3 times a day) She was also kind to me - I had never left my dog with a stranger let alone when she was sick. I am sooo grateful Milena helped me. She sent pictures and told me how everything was going. I have already asked her to be my go to when I must leave my dog for a few days. She is awesome … so loving and caring I felt soooo lucky to have happened upon a kind soul to care for my helpless sick dog while I had to be away. I highly recommend her and am soo grateful to have met her on this app - Milena thank you for your help.”
“Lisa is amazing! She did a great job keeping us updated with pics & videos. Our dog has never looked this happy when we’ve gone away. She kept her active with walks & playtime with her pup. Highly recommend!”
“Paul was phenomenal! I received daily photos and updates on how she was doing. Ru was put on a supplements after our meet and greet Paul was great about it, he was able to get her to take them even though she hates to. We will definitely be using Paul again in the future.”
“Our 8year old doggy had her first visit here and jumped out and ran to the door excitedly as if she came everyday. Seuron and DK took Lulu out for walks and showered her with love. They are the nicest couple! We got lots of updates and we were at ease immediately. Lulu settled in right away. We highly recommend Seuron and DK! We plan to be repeat clients.”
“Sharon was super communicative and flexible in scheduling a stay for our pup Sesame at her place. Sesame immediately liked her and walked with her to her home which he doesn’t usually do with people he just meets. Throughout the stay, Sharon sent photo and text updates on what Sesame was doing — it looked like they had a great time! I’d definitely recommend Sharon and will be working with her again.”
“Tynesha and her family were fantastic, sending photos and quick updates throughout our pet’s stay with them! He came back to us happy and healthy (and probably missing his new temporary family a little bit, too). It gives me great peace of mind to know that, if/when we next have to go out of town, we have this great option for our dog!”

Cat caregivers near you - Chatham
About: I had a Yorkshire Terrier who lived for almost 16 years. After he passed away, I found a small puppy on the street. I took care of him and eventually couldn't give him away. Now Lucky—that's his name—is 4 years old and weighs 75 lbs. I'm very comfortable with dogs and have a good understanding of their behavior and what they need. You could say I have over 20 years of experience with dogs, and even more if you count cats. If your dog loves to run, I can take him to a park with unpaved trails (I can explain why I prefer unpaved trails) and ride alongside him on my bicycle. I have a protective dog cover for the back seat of my car and a leash that can be attached to a bicycle. I also periodically donate money to people who rescue and care for orphaned and homeless dogs. I have enough time to handle this job, plus I truly love dogs and cats, so it's honestly more of a hobby than a job. First, I sit on the floor next to the dog. When my eyes are almost at the same level as the dog's eyes, they feel no aggression from the stranger. When the dog gets used to me and my presence doesn't disturb him/her, I start playing with him/her (I can't call them 'it'). I've fed orphaned and homeless dogs before and know how to approach them. Once I spent 5 hours (I'm not kidding) saving a homeless dog who had fallen into a water drainage and couldn't get out.
“As usual, Xiomara took great care of my two cats! She helped to give one of my cats meds as well, super appreciated! The communication is easy as always and looking forward to her reunion with my cats in the future.”
“Kat is such a thoughtful and caring cat sitter! I was so happy to come home to a clean space and two very happy, well-adjusted cats. She sent me many adorable photos every day, and it was clear she genuinely loves animals and treated my cats with so much care and attention. My cats clearly loved her too! I’d absolutely ask her to help again next time.”
“Leigh is a gem!! I’m so happy I found her to look after my cats. This is my 3rd time booking with her and she is great! She takes lots of pictures and gives sweet updates.”
“Jordyn is great with our cat and dog! Jordyn has been helping out with our dog for the past couple of months and was eager to help with our cat while we were traveling as well. She is always communicative and kind!”
“Anthony was very friendly and reliable, came to feed our cat and spend time with her every day he was booked for and shared nice pictures of him sitting with her or petting her. I’d definitely book him again!”
“Anne has done an amazing job with my little ones, making sure they were fed, had clean water, had their daily portion of favorite snacks/veggies and daily portion of cuddles. We love her !”
“Hannah is amazing! She was incredibly kind, considerate, and attentive to both of my cats. She took the time to learn their individual personalities and favorite things—playing with my very active cat and giving plenty of love and brushing to my couch potato. She even administered medication to the cat who needed it, which gave me such peace of mind. Throughout our time away, Hannah sent reassuring updates along with the cutest photos and videos. It was so comforting to see that both cats were happy and well cared for—and they looked forward to her visits and greeted her at the door. We’re so happy we found Hannah on Rover. She went above and beyond, and we would absolutely love to have her care for our cats again the next time we go away. I highly recommend her! ❤️🐾”
About: Love all types of fur babies! And ready to take care of yours like they’re my own. My boyfriend and I have our own shelter with 10 dogs and 6 cats at our farm in Colombia. Ready to stay active and go on a run or give them all the pets they need and let them nap! Up to the pup or kitty!
“Sam did a great job taking care of my two cats and kept everything in order. She also helped us fix the auto feeder machine that was jammed with dry food. She is punctuate and reply to our messages promptly. We feel our cats are left with trusted hands.”
“Nicole was amazing! Was very flexible to my many requests & Jinx loved spending time with her. Also a great & quick communicator. I was very grateful for her love & care for Jinx in my absence.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting dogs and cats for years, and both my husband and I grew up with pets. We truly love being around animals, it genuinely makes us happy. We care for pets together, which means extra attention, calm energy, and lots of love in our home. I also have guinea pigs now, so caring for animals is part of my everyday life. We treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into our routine. My husband cares for pets with me, and he works from home while I work nearby as a nanny, so one of us is always home. This makes it easy for us to keep dogs on their normal schedule, give them attention throughout the day, and make sure they’re never left alone for long. I take safety and comfort seriously, and my husband and I work together to create a calm, tidy environment where pets can relax and feel secure. We follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, feeding times, walks, sleep habits, and any special instructions, and we always pay attention to how a pet is feeling so we can adjust as needed. We make sure doors are secured, no unsafe items are accessible, and pets are supervised throughout their stay. With my background in nannying, our experience pet sitting, and both of us being naturally observant and responsible, we’re very careful with every detail. Our goal is for every pet to feel safe, cared for, and genuinely loved while they’re with us.
“I can’t express how happy I am from Katya. She took care of my cat for 2 weeks and sent me updates in a daily basis and my cat felt like he’s home with her. Definitely booking again with you Katya ??”
“Ella took great care of our two cats every morning for two weeks. we received pictures everyday, Ella is super nice, and did a fantastic job taking care of and entertaining our two cats. we were really happy to have found Ella on Rover.”

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!

“This was Oreo’s second day here and it was just as amazing as the first. He is almost 12, very particular about people, and not the easiest dog to win over — so the fact that he was excited to go back says everything. As chaotic as our day was, it was such a huge relief knowing he was happy, comfortable, and in such good hands. Jackie’s flexibility, kindness, and obvious love for dogs really stood out. It is not easy to find someone you fully trust with your dog, especially one with a picky personality, but this truly feels like a safe, loving, and comfortable home for him.

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.

Dogs go on 3+ walks a day and have plenty of indoor enrichment.
About: My experience with animals is anything but ordinary. My journey started as a fearless kid who found joy in looking after the nervous, afraid, and wild stray dogs of Russia. Fast forward to today, and I've been a proud owner of two dachshunds, birds, chickens, bees, fish and shrimp. However, that is not where my animal adventure begins. My whole life I’ve ridden and cared for horses, so you can trust me when I say that your dog pulling me is nothing I haven't experienced from a thousand-pound horse :). Whether it's a teacup puppy or a Great Dane, I've got the patience and love to handle them all. If you're looking for a dog walker who's not afraid to get a little dirty, look no further. I'm your go-to person for everything dog-related. Let's go on an adventure together! I work during the week but my weekends are open. Need me in the early morning? No problem! My 5:00 am alarm is already set. The same goes for late evenings. I understand how important it is for high energy breeds to get their daily exercise, which is why I give walkers the chance to customize their type of walk. If your dog would prefer a jog in the morning instead of a walk to wear him out for the day, say no more, my running shoes are already on. I used to be a runner for SE England, so I have no issues fulfilling the exercise needs of our furry client. Prefer a lazy stroll? No problem, we’ll walk around and make sure to smell every rose (or fire hydrant). We'll take our time, explore the neighborhood, and make sure to sniff out anything that catches our fancy. 2 hour walk? I'll make sure to bring the both of us a water bottle.
“Alex was wonderful and took great care of my sweet puppy! She went above and beyond to make sure she ate her lunch. Great communication! She shared lots of cute photos! Definitely recommend!”

“Sue is a great sitter who was very accommodating and made our pup feel right at home. She followed our instructions and put our minds at ease and provided plenty of photos and updates on how our pup was doing. Will definitely ask her to watch our dog again in the future!”
“Amrit was amazing with Pepper. He was so sweet and attentive to her and sent me updates and pictures daily. It didn’t seem like a job for him- he genuinely enjoyed taking care of her. His house was clean and safe. I highly recommend him!!”
“Nadine & Tom were fantastic caretakers for our dog, Ellie. This was our first time using someone outside of family to watch her, so we were a bit nervous, but we couldn’t have been more thrilled with the experience. We were looking for someone warm and attentive who would give Ellie personalized care, and that’s exactly what we found with Nadine and Tom. Ellie can be anxious around other dogs, so it meant so much to us that she was able to stay with Nadine and Tom one-on-one. They truly made her feel comfortable and at home. We especially appreciated the daily photos and thoughtful updates, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Nadine & Tom and would absolutely book with them again.”
“Paul was phenomenal! I received daily photos and updates on how she was doing. Ru was put on a supplements after our meet and greet Paul was great about it, he was able to get her to take them even though she hates to. We will definitely be using Paul again in the future.”
“Becky and family were such great pet sitters! They sent so many photos of my dog and I can tell from the photos that Juniper was in good hands. Excellent communicators. I would recommend them to anyone that wants their dog to feel comfortable while you are away.”
“I had a great experience with John. I booked on short notice and he was very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. He took excellent care of Carl while I was away and gave me real peace of mind the entire time. Communication was solid, and I received updates throughout Carl’s stay — it was clear he was being very well looked after. When I picked him up, he was calm, healthy, and completely himself, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care he provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we honestly couldn’t have gotten luckier than finding Natasha! She was absolutely wonderful from start to finish - incredibly professional, caring, and communicative. She kept us updated throughout our dog Clark’s stay with regular messages and plenty of adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Clark is a Cavapoo who requires a lot of attention, love, and affection, and it was immediately clear when we picked him up that he had been spoiled and incredibly well taken care of. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly loved his time with Natasha! We will 100% be using Natasha for all of our future boarding needs. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your dog, we highly recommend her. 10/10, we couldn’t be happier!”
“Starry & Gio were very easy to communicate with (very responsive) and kept me updated on everything. They are great caretakers and my dog was very happy being with them. Thank you!”
“This is our second time using Connor. When we went to drop Fiona off she pulled us to the door. We were updated with pictures, and upon picking her up she was affectionate and happy. Highly recommend and would use Connor again!”
“Lucas and Katherine were great. Our dog had never stayed overnight with a sitter. They allowed him to sleep on their bed, take him out in the car so he wouldn’t be by himself, and even gave me some useful insights. They really love dogs.”
“Megan & Nick are THE best. They welcomed our 3-yr old American Staffy into their home and took excellent care of her for a week. They will be my go to for sure and I can vouch for them without reservation!”
“Michele is a wonderful sitter! I’ve used her several times to watch my dog, and each experience has been smooth and completely hassle-free. She’s very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and always willing to work with my schedule. She carefully follows all of my instructions and consistently sends pictures and updates throughout the day without me even having to ask, which gives me great peace of mind. I always feel reassured leaving my dog in her care, and I’ll definitely continue booking with her in the future.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for about 5 years now. I volunteer at an animal shelter and I love it. I have always been the go to person in my neighborhood when someone is out of town and needs someone to stop by their house or even care for their pets. I currently work part time so I have extra time on my hands. I have a large dog of my own and two cats so pet care is not unfamiliar to me Because I have a large dog of my own and two cats, I know what their needs and wants are. I have had pets since I could remember
“I truly can not recommend Jaclynn enough. I recently rescued my dog (who is a puppy and has high energy). It was my first time leaving my pup, Frankie, for an extended period of time (and using Rover). After searching high and low through Rover, I thankfully came across Jaclynn. She was AMAZING my entire trip and relieved every bit of anxiety I had. I received so many pictures and updates on how Frankie was doing. Jaclynn even trained Frankie while we were gone and inspired me to get buttons for her to communicate. Frankie was sad to leave (honestly lol). Frankie will be seeing Jaclynn and Andre until the end of time. I was also sent home with fresh eggs from her farm, a toy that Frankie loved, and a printed picture. I will happily drive an hour knowing the love and care she provided for my fur baby. The absolute best!!!”
“Jonathan is awesome. I highly recommend him! I had to have surgery and needed time to recover. I was so lucky to find him. I didn’t worry about my doggie once!! ?”
About: I may not have a professional certification in animal behavior, but what I do have is a deep love for dogs, years of experience caring for my own dog, and a commitment to keeping your pet safe, happy, and loved. I pride myself on being patient, attentive, and dependable. I can implement strict feeding schedules and medications, navigate long walks/hikes, or simply recognize when a dog just needs some quiet companionship. I will treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. You can count on me for regular photo/video updates and the peace of mind that your pet is being treated like family. I am an early riser and have the ability to be very flexible. I had dedicated the past 14 years of my life to caring for my late rescue, and am capable to continue doing so for many more. I live in a two-story, single bedroom condo within an HOA community. I do not have a fenced yard, but I will be able to keep your dog active with many walks and interactions with other dogs. My home is spacious and orderly. I am clean and respectful of other's spaces; I treat it as my own. I am well educated and willing to lend a hand when others are in need of help.
