“Mary-Kate was a life saver. She came over on very short notice to drop in on our dog when I got stuck at work. She is reliable and has great communication. We will definitely request her next time!”
“Kelly was fantastic dropping in on our two pugs! She was quick to respond to messages and sent great photos with the rover cards after each visit. I felt very at ease leaving our dogs under her care. We came home to two very happy dogs. Will absolutely use again!!”
About: I’m reliable, trustworthy and efficient. I may even water your plants or pick up your mail if it’s needed. I have a great work ethic I currently work for myself doing freelance work so my schedule is rotating and flexible. Most availability is during the week days. I love early mornings and I love to be outside and walk. I am currently available for stopping only as I have my own kitty at home to take care of, but message me for short term overnights maybe I can work something out.
“Cassy, Thank you so much for all your help! We were so glad you were able to come and help with Dexter. It was so amazing we knew that he was taken being care of the whole time.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life and just the past few years started pet sitting! The families I sit for always know they can rely on me and loving their animals! I’m currently working part time at a salon but it is flexible and can stop by every 2-4 hours! I also am willing to do over nights depending on location might affect price! Any instructions left for me will always be taken care of, if you prefer walks or just being let out in the yard either works!
“Cathy was fantastic with our kitty! She took as many pictures as she was able (sometimes our cat is recluse) and she communicated very well. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Kania puts my mind at ease when I'm out of town and require someone to care for Lux! She was very flexible and was able to accommodate a stressful last minute change of plans and still made sure Lux was looked after!”
About: I’ve had animals since I was a young girl. As a child we had cats. As a young adult I worked for a grooming, daycare, and boarding facility for 16 years. The only reason I stopped working was because of the birth of might twins.I also volunteered for a pet rescue, a pet shelter, and of course owned my own dogs, cats, and hamster. I’m a mom of 7! Some grown , some in college, and my youngest 2 are 9 year old twins. I have plenty of time during the days to walk, spend time, cuddle, and love on your furry family members. My specialty is mid day breaks/walks or check ins while you’re away or have a long day at work. I am aware of the tremendous responsibility it is caring for your pet. I have my own pups and kitties and will give the same love, care, and respect my babies receive.
About: My name is Stuart, I am relocating to the area as I am starting a position at Albany Medical Center (AMC) in October. As I wait to begin my next chapter, nothing would make me more happy than to spend time with animals! I have always had a knack for the outdoors and have always had a soft spot for animals. I am an avid runner and am almost always be found running or hiking. I can guaranteed your dog will get the exercise and care he/she needs under my supervision. I have experience volunteering at the Lake Placid Vet as-well as volunteer experience at the Saranac Lake Animal Shelter. I have house sat /walked several dogs such as Australian shepherds, Labs, Bernie’s and Doodles in the past. If you have any additional questions please feel free to reach out to me! I just started a new position at AMC and work wonky hours so please message me to confirm availability! If I am not working at AMC, I am free on both weekdays and weekends and I’m flexible to work around schedules. I have a three-story townhouse apartment. There is fenced in dog parks within the complex for easy bathroom visits as well as prolonged paved trails right next to my apartment that go into the woods for longer walks in the evening around lunchtime and in the morning. Dog Gates secure the dog within our second floor, preventing entry to third floor bedrooms and first floor mudroom. Dogs will have eyes on them at all times when not with owner.
“I have booked Sofia several times now for my cat and it has always been a great experience! Our cat is very needy and Sofia always gives him the love and cuddles he needs when we're away! On the human side, she's also very responsive and easy to work with. At this point she's my go-to and we plan to continue booking with her!”
About: Been around all types of animals growing up, dogs, cats, and even horses. Currently have multiple animals of my own and frequently look after friends and family pets. I currently work remotely, so can adjust time to help take care of your pets but my typical hours are 8-4:30. I can assist before work hours and after or even on breaks throughout the day. I have not always been remote so understand wanting someone to trust to check in on your pets while you are out of the house. I also have small children so understand finding the balance of having pets and children, sometimes needing that extra help to keep everyone happy. I would treat each pet as if they are my own, every pet is different with what makes them happy. So I am happy to follow all reasonable requests.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years including my own senior dog and feel so lucky when I form relationships with them and families. I have just recently moved to the Albany area and am available for your pet care needs. I’m excited to care for your fur babies I am available to come to your home and have a flexible schedule. Building relationships and a high level of care are my goals together
About: My name is Brooke and I’m looking for Dog walking/Pet sitting clients close to the Malta area! I moved into the Grandeville apartments about a month ago, so preference to anyone that lives in these apartments or anywhere within a 10-15 minute drive! I’m a transplant from Philly so I’m currently working a few at-home jobs, which makes my availability completely open for your pet-sitting needs. I’ve lived with dogs my entire life and I’ve had experience with dogs from puppies, to elders, small 5 lb breeds to Great Danes, couch potatoes to super active. I’ve also watched dogs who needed special training or who had special needs (like seizures.) I have no breed or size restrictions. I do walks, drop in visits, boarding, and staying within your home. I do prefer repeat clients over one-off sessions but contact me if you have any questions! I am currently working from home running a small business! So I have open availability for your pet. I do not have my own dog at the moment, so all of my pet-loving energy is going towards yours! With dog walking, I prefer times between 9am and 10pm. I have an apartment in a complex that is incredibly pet friendly, with a fenced in dog park and dog washing station. I try my hardest to make sure that pets are comfortable in my home. In your home, I try to make sure that I communicate with you as much as possible, to make sure that you feel safe with me in your home and taking care of your pet!
About: I’m someone who genuinely loves caring for dogs and believes every pup deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, even when their owners are away! What sets me apart is that I take the time to get to know each dog individually. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I enjoy learning what makes each one unique. Whether your pup is energetic and playful, a little shy, or happiest cuddled up beside someone, I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the care and attention they deserve. I have experience working with puppies, including basic commands, leash manners, crate training, and positive reinforcement. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need extra patience, a slower pace, or mobility assistance. Additionally, I’m comfortable administering medication and following specific care instructions to help keep your dog healthy and on their regular routine. At the end of the day, I want you to have peace of mind knowing your dog is in caring, attentive, and trustworthy hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine I intentionally structure my schedule to make sure I have dedicated, unhurried time for each dog. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check ins, playtime, feeding schedules, or evening cuddles, I plan my days around the pets in my care, so they receive consistent attention and companionship. I build flexibility into my week to accommodate different energy levels and needs, from active pups who love longer walks to seniors who prefer shorter, gentler outings. Because I prioritize reliability and routine, your dog can count on consistent care, and you can count on dependable communication and updates. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in it’s something I genuinely make space for. In My Home: When pets stay with me, I create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow your feeding schedules, potty routines, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide. Dogs receive plenty of supervised playtime, walks, mental stimulation, and affection. I’m mindful of introductions (if other pets are present), keep the space clean and secure, and make sure every dog has a comfortable area to rest and relax. In Your Home: When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine to reduce stress. I stick closely to feeding times, walks, and preferred activities. I also respect your home by keeping things tidy, bringing in mail if requested, and ensuring everything is secure before I leave. My goal is to make your absence feel as smooth and normal as possible for your pet. For both services, I prioritize safety, communication, and regular photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every animal as if they were my own with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.
“Tatiana was very nice and communicative during her weekend long watch of my dog and immediately noticed I forgot to book a time slot for one of the days and quickly alerted me and went over despite not being previously booked to do so. My dog seemed happy.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ushers
Heidi was so awesome with our cats. We have never had anyone besides my boyfriend’s mom watch our cats before besides one other time. We were a little worried leaving them, but she made us feel super comfortable. Updated us every time with many photos and communicated very well. I also was able to meet her prior and she was super sweet, super welcoming and super personable!! Would 1 million percent have Heidi watch my cats again!
Jackie was amazing! She came by for a meet and greet a few days before our booking, which immediately put us at ease. She followed all of our instructions, sent us photos and updates throughout our trip, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. She even went above and beyond by moving our heavy package so it wouldn't get any wetter in the rain. She was attentive, thoughtful, and clearly cared for our pet. We highly recommend Jackie and would absolutely book with her again!
Kara is great. She managed to get my very skittish cat to come out from under the bed for proof of life pictures! She’s extremely reliable and consistently sent updates while we were away. Highly recommend having Kara watch your pets. I feel better knowing she’s checking on them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,130 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ushers. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ushers. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
