“My original sitter canceled very last minute unfortunately but Katie was able to take care of my cat despite it being last minute! She was very accommodating, since my cat is a very shy cat and she was super responsive! 😁”
“I was extremely pleased with the care Jackie gave to my cats. She played with them, interacted with them;something other caregivers don’t do. The cats very obviously loved her. I can’t say enough about how grateful I am to Jackie. I could actually relax on my vacation knowing they were in such capable, caring, loving hands. A+++++”
About: I have alot of experience with horse sized dogs and little obes alike, its important to me that they get the love they miss from their owners. Im currently going to school partime and learning the area so i have tons of time to go for walks or play with your fur baby and keep up their schedule. I want to make sure both of our spaces are respected, i like to keep places as nice as i left them so i try to take an hour to spot clean anywhere ive been or where your pet may have made a mess and leave it tidy. I do the same for my home, i clean after every visitor.
About: I’ve always had the biggest heart for animals! I was an animal science major in high school and spent much time volunteering at doggy daycares. In college I studied basic canine care and training where I got more experience and knowledge in training different types of dogs. I currently have a couple of pups that I gain more experience from everyday! 🥰 Currently in between employments and looking for something to keep me occupied that would benefit others as well. So I’ll be available anytime that would be convenient for you! I have decent space for my pups and have my own precautions. I will prioritize the safety and wellbeing of your fur baby as if they're my own, so I assure you that I will follow any and all instructions given to me by you.
“Gabriella is awesome with picture updates and takes the time to communicate how our cat Porter is doing at every visit. Our cat is way more relaxed after our absence because of her gentile ways in playing and feeding him. 10/10 would recommend this animal whisperer”
“Alexandria is amazing with our cats, this is our third time booking her. We get daily updates and the cutest pictures of the cats! She’s fantastic and we never have to worry about them when we travel as she takes great care of them!”
“Sara did a great job. Our dog made up to her immediately. This is first time in 10 years that we didn't have family available so I was very worried. But our dog really liked her. Sara sent us pics and updates daily. Definitely would use her service again!”
“Amy is awesome! My two dogs are really anxious around new people and that makes me anxious, but because of how calm and capable Amy is, everything went really well! She did drop-in visits 4 days in a row while my husband was working and while I was out of town. She sent me TONS of pictures and updates which was great! My dogs warmed up to her very quickly and by the end of the 4 days I think they thought she was a member of the family! When she took them for a walk, one of my dogs got muddy and she cleaned her up for us. I'm so glad we found Amy and I can't wait to use her when we go out of town at the end of this month! :)”
About: I have extensive experience caring for pets at every stage of life. I’ve been caring for pets since I was 5 years old, starting with my first cat, Rosie, and over time I’ve gained hands-on experience with both kittens and senior cats. I’ve raised four kittens (three rescues) myself, so I’m very familiar with the patience, attention, and consistency needed for young pets. Additionally, I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, through the care of my own pups and friends’. I have lots of experience caring for senior pets, including administering medications, managing special diets, and assisting with more advanced care such as subcutaneous (IV) fluids. Because of this, I’m very attentive to changes in behavior or health and can provide a higher level of care for pets with medical needs. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their comfort, safety, and overall well-being. I work as a Medical Assistant full time on weekdays from 8 AM to 4:30 PM, but my evenings and weekends are wide open, giving me plenty of flexibility to care for pets. I’m based in Utica and am happy to travel as needed for drop-in visits, walks, or longer stays. This schedule allows me to provide consistent, reliable care while being attentive to pets’ needs. I provide care either in my pet-friendly, secure residence (keycard access) or in the client’s home, depending on their needs. I am flexible and attentive to any special requests, and I have experience caring for pets with medical needs, including administering medications and managing special diets. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities.
“Great experience with Melinda :)! She made the effort to come beforehand fro a meet and greet and she was great with my cats. It was so nice to be away and not worry about my fur babies :).”
About: I am licensed veterinary technician in New York. I will take care of your pets as if they were mine❤️ I speak English and Spanish. I can definitely make the time to take care your pets! I’m available to take care of your babies! I love working with animals ! I take care of my cats as if they were my children, I will do the same with your pets! I have a lot of love and knowledge to offer
About: I have several years of experience with my adorable pup and lots of others! I would love to get to know your dog!! :) :) I am a college student home for the summer working at my part time job. (I work at a golf course as well.) I’m available everyday of the week, except for some weeknight afternoons and weekend mornings - but this changes frequently so my schedule is pretty open. I am extremely careful caring for pets, as I would want and expect for anyone to do for my dog as well. Nothing is ever left out for my pet to get into, doors/windows/etc are always shut, yard is fenced in and my dog is always leashed when I am with him, unless he is in our fenced in yard.

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.

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 .
