About: I’ve always loved being around animals and making sure they feel safe and cared for. Over the years, I’ve pet-sat on the side for friends and neighbors—it’s more of a hobby than a job because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to help with walks, playtime, feeding, or keeping a routine. I make sure each pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owner is away. I work a 9–5 job, but I’m available most mornings, evenings, and weekends to care for pets. I work from home three days a week, which allows for added flexibility to provide walks, playtime, or visits. I provide a safe, calm environment while caring for pets in their own home. I follow their routines, ensure they have food, water, and attention, and monitor their well-being. I keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are happy and cared for.
About: For the past 4 years, friends and family have trusted me to care for their fur babies with the same love, patience, and attention they give them at home. I truly enjoy creating a cozy, comforting space where dogs feel safe, happy, and loved whether that means long walks, playtime, or snuggling on the couch. Every doggie that I care for holds a special place in my heart, and I’m always excited to welcome more furry friends into it. My weekdays are dedicated to work, but once it hits 5:30pm I am available for evening care. I am also fully available on weekends (for multiple visits) and excited to spend quality time caring for your pets whether it’s for a walk and cuddles, or to clean out a litter box and swing around a wand toy. In my home pets are treated like family, some even say they are "spoiled" (haha! whatever that means). Whether yours loves playtime, relaxing, or extra cuddles, I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and care throughout their visit. My goal is always to create a calm, loving environment where pets can feel happy and cared for.
“So grateful of Aymet becoming my cat sitter. My cat took to her instantly upon the initial meet up. Aymet made sure my cat and house was well taken cared for during my absence. She was very attentive to my cat and her needs. I will definitely rebook her. My cat and myself is appriciatic”
“Liliana is very knowledgeable about cats. I have a new kitten that needs some socialization and boundaries with my older cats and she knew exactly when to intervene and when to let nature take it's course. I came back from a long trip with both cats happy and healthy.”
“Kathryn was wonderful with my kittens while I was away on vacation! She was so friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with from the very beginning, which immediately made me feel comfortable leaving them in her care. I especially appreciated how much time she spent with them during each visit. She didn’t just come by to feed them and leave—she actually spent time playing with them, giving them attention, and making sure they were taken care of. It made being away from them so much easier knowing they were getting plenty of love and weren't just being left alone. Kathryn sent me lots of adorable pictures, which I looked forward to getting every day! She followed all of the instructions I left and was very attentive to everything the kittens needed. It was clear from the way she interacted with them that she truly loves animals and cares about the pets she watches. I would absolutely have Kathryn watch my kittens again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter. Knowing that they were with someone who was giving them genuine attention and affection gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’m so happy we found her!”
“Darianny was fantastic! She was super responsive, reliable, and took wonderful care of all of our Freddie’s needs. Freddie enjoyed her company, and we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Marion did a wonderful job taking care of our old cat, Asia! Marion spent quality time with our girl each visit, giving Asia the love she needed.

About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs and understand the responsibility that comes with taking care of someone’s beloved pet.

“Theo did an excellent job taking care of our cats. We booked him to house sit our two cats while we were away for nine days. He followed all of our instructions, and we came home to happy cats. He has a deep understanding of cat psychology, and he spent a ton of time interacting with our cats. We really appreciate him going above and beyond and will be booking him again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 6 years and have lots of experience with smaller breeds, especially female dogs.

I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and love while they’re with me. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week. For boarding and overnight stays, I’m available Thursday through Sunday and can give your pet lots of attention and care while they’re with me I live in a loving family home in the suburbs of Yonkers with my parents and brother, so there’s usually someone around to give your pet some extra love and attention. We have a fenced-in yard with plenty of room to play, and I can easily crate your dog if needed. There are also several nice parks and walking areas nearby, so they’ll have plenty of opportunities to get outside and explore. I keep treats and pet essentials on hand, and we’re close to veterinary care if anything unexpected ever comes up.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - West Mount Vernon
Bella was great. My cat recently developed a few health issues so it's been difficult nailing down the right feeding routines. Bella was very understanding even with some last minute changes in the feeding instructions. I would totally recommend her to anyone in the area.
Elisa is absolutely amazing! She gave detailed updates and pictures to reassure me that the cats were doing well while I was away! They are usually super shy with new people but they definitely made a new friend since meeting Elisa! I will definitely be using her services again next time we need someone to take care of my little guys! She made me feel such at ease while I was away! Thank you so much Elisa!
Wonderful cat sitter!!! So gentle and attentive with my cat who can sometimes be a challenge to read. Did everything we asked, sent videos and even took time to play with him and brush him. Will absolutely book again if we are out of town and need a cat sitter !
We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter than Kathryn! Lucy and Pixie adored her right from the start. She’s thoughtful, communicative, and pays attention to every little detail. Receiving frequent photo updates gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely be using her services again and recommend her 100%!

This was our first time using Rover, and Ana made it an excellent experience! She took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away for a week, making sure they were well-fed, comfortable, and happy. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats and would absolutely book with Ana again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
