“Nicole was fantastic! Professional, punctual. Took great care of my cat and played with her a bunch + took awesome pictures each time. Thanks so much Nicole! Highly recommend.”
“Kyra already looks after our dogs with walks. Now Kyra has met our two cats as well. Kyra is reliable and does a great job. We've just come home and the cats are chilled and their usual selves. Thanks Kyra.”
“Mark has done 2 Drop-Ins for me, and been professional both times. The last time, he was able to send a vid + pics and positive news that my cat was very welcoming to him. Since she likes to snuggle, it's important to me that she has someone there who wants to engage with her in earnest. Mark is a safe and solid bet when it comes to cat care.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since before I started high school. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for pets belonging to relatives, neighbors, and friends. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and committed to giving every pet the individual care and attention they deserve. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or simply some extra love while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’m also available for house sitting and would be happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable, confident, and cared for while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m especially available during weekdays and can make time to give your pups the attention, playtime, exercise, and care they need. I have experience caring for dogs by making sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise, and a safe and comfortable environment. I treat every pet with patience and care, and I’ll always make their safety and well-being a priority.
“I’m just really grateful and happy that I found Nicole. She not only took care of my baby’s basic needs but also really paid attention to her and gave her lots of affection. She is very caring and trustworthy and i couldn’t be happier that Livy and I found a new friend! Don’t hesitate to book with her!”
“I was so nervous leaving my little prince and Leigh made sure he was taken great care of while I was away! She was loving, patient, and did everything the way he likes it! I will definitely be using her again!”
“Right from the very first message interaction, Mimi made me feel assured, confident and so happy we found her to take care of our two adorable cats. They hadn’t been left alone overnight for a few years so we decided to opt for housesitting and we couldn’t be more pleased! Mimi came over for an introductory meeting and both cats took to her right away! Her gentle and caring manner comes across immediately and our usually skittish cats felt safe and right at home with her. We sat talking about their routines while they rubbed up against her leg and purred loudly while she pet them! Mimi is thorough in her preparation, careful in reviewing and following instructions and so thoughtful. Our older cat takes a little CBD treat each night and Mimi easily got him to take it so that both he and our other cat were just calm and peaceful when we arrived home. Thankfully our cats don’t require any medication, but I know if they did she would deftly and properly administer it with care. Mimi also took care of our home as if it was her own! Our house was left in perfect condition! Throughout her stay, Mimi offered her well wishes that we have the best trip ever and she made sure we did because she provided updates and photos so we felt confident and informed. And those photos! You could just tell from the way the kitties were curled up waiting for their belly rubs that they had the best time ever! Mimi is now our go-to cat sitter and we began lining up next stays even before this trip was done! She’s simply the best! On a personal note, I’m so happy to have met this wonderful woman who radiates joy and sincerity. She’s truly a blessing, a genuinely caring person and we are so grateful she’s a part of our lives! We love Mimi and we know if you book her you will too!”
“Tricia was great. Took excellent care of my cat especially considering we had just moved into the new house and the cat was quite nervous about the new space. I would definitely recommend and use Tricia again.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Nicole! This was our first time leaving our cat while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after her. She was punctual, very communicative throughout our trip, and clearly took great care of our cat—she seemed happy, relaxed, and well looked after when we got home. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be reaching out again for future trips!”

“Gabrielle watched our four cats for a week and she is amazing! Gave meds to Willow on schedule, and the reclusive Pippin made a showing. Our home and all things relating to the cats was perfectly taken care of. Gabrielle has a kind and calm nature that made our four cats comfortable. Great communicator too! Highly recommend for pet sitting!!”
About: I've been caring for pets (dogs and cats) belonging to neighbors, friends, and family since middle school. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or just hanging out with them, it's always felt natural. I've also had dogs in my own home since I was 4, so they've truly been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I love them like family! I have the most experience with medium/large-sized dogs and have worked with pups as young as around a year old all the way up to seniors. For cats, I've cared for those 2 and older. Here is my current weekly schedule (this shows times I have other obligations): Monday: 2:00-5:30 (class + commute), virtual class in evening Tuesday: 11:00am-7pm (internship + commute) Wednesday: 1:00pm-4pm (class + commute) Thursdays: 8:00am-1pm (internship + commute), virtual work + class in evening Friday: work virtually Sat & Sun: available Every pet and home is different, so I always follow the owner's instructions and routines. Whether it's feeding schedules, walking habits, or just how their pet likes to be comforted, I make sure to communicate with clients beforehand so their pet feels safe and at ease in their own space.
“We booked Rivera last year and rebooked this year. Our kitties immediately remembered her and started bugging her for attention the minute she came through the door! Big thanks to Rivera for taking such great care of them, especially sticking to our medicine regimen. We always appreciate the photos and visit summaries. Will be booking again when needed!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have had my own since I was younger. I currently have two small dogs, so I’m very familiar with daily care, routines, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I’ve also helped take care of friends’ pets, including dogs and cats. I’ve done drop-in visits where I fed them, played with them, and made sure they were well taken care of while their owners were away. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I always make sure pets feel I work mornings, but I’m available for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m off on Sundays and Tuesdays, so I have extra flexibility those days for walks, drop-ins, or longer visits. I’m reliable and like to stay consistent with schedules. I’m also easy to communicate with and happy to adjust based on what works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure dogs are secure on walks and always pay attention to their behavior and surroundings. I’m patient and adjust to each pet’s energy level, whether they’re playful or more calm. I also send updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe and doing well.
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - West Caldwell
Nicole was our first experience with Rover. We were going on a fairly long vacation and couldn’t take our cat with us, so needless to say, we were a little nervous about leaving her behind. We booked Nicole for nine visits, and she was fantastic. She always showed up when she said she would, did everything we had asked, and sent us detailed updates after every visit. She played with our cat, groomed her when needed, replenished her water bowls, and cleaned the litter box. Nicole is an extremely reliable and dependable pet sitter—no weirdness, no drama, just someone you can trust to show up and take good care of your pet. We know pet sitting is only a temporary, part-time job for Nicole as she finishes college and prepares to move away from Boston, but the maturity, trustworthiness, reliability, and sense of responsibility she showed us will serve her well wherever her career takes her next. We are extremely grateful to Nicole for taking such good care of our cat and giving us peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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. 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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
