“Razan has watched Poe twice now and has been wonderful both times! She is very friendly, patient, and sweet with him as he warms up to her. She sends great photo updates during the stay which I really appreciate! She is also comfortable giving Poe his medication, feeding him, and taking him on walks. Very reliable and flexible. I will definitely book Razan again!”
“Caroline is an outstanding sitter—professional, reliable and kind. She took careful care of our Max and showered him with affection. We received timely photos and video — evidence of what we saw when they met: Max loved Caroline. We absolutely will work with Caroline again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From start to finish, the communication was great. Mint took the time to send updates, photos, and little notes that showed how much he genuinely cared. It gave us such peace of mind while we were away knowing our pup was being so well looked after. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring sitter!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Eleni! She took care of my cat, Mira, during Thanksgiving week and went absolutely above and beyond in every way. She came by for a few hours each day and spent real, quality time with Mira—playing with her, feeding her dinner, and genuinely keeping her company instead of just doing quick check-ins. Eleni’s communication was exceptional. She sent a text every time she arrived and left, along with thorough updates and the sweetest photos that completely reassured me while I was away. Her responses were always quick, thoughtful, and detailed, which made such a difference. I felt incredibly comfortable having her in my home and fully trusted her from day one. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Mira was not only being cared for, but truly loved while I was away. Eleni is kind, reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural gift with animals. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat, which says everything. If you’re considering booking with her—do it. I would 100% trust her with Mira again and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter. Thank you, Eleni, for taking such amazing care of my girl!”
“Lenin did a wonderful job pet sitting our dog. We have a large dog who is shy and Lenin did an amazing job with him. He is professional and responsible with great communication. He took excellent care of our dog and home.”
About: I have lived with and taken care of cats and dogs since I was 9. I helped train my first dog back in 2005 and grew a love for pet caretaking ever since. I helped my dog learn how to follow commands like sit and stay. I regularly walked my dog and fed her on schedule, as well as bring her to the field to run around and to the beach for a swim. I have helped care for my friends' dogs as well, including taking them on morning walks, feeding, vet visits, beach trips, and baths. I also took care of my cat when I was young and currently care for my brother's cat when he is away. I work in a hybrid role that is mostly remote, so I always have the flexibility to be available for your pet's care. I typically go into the Manhattan office on Wednesdays, but can be available on Wednesday nights. Every other day is flexible. I will follow all directions provided by the owner regarding walking, feeding and whatever other services are needed. I will certainly clean up after your pet(s) on walks and make sure they have plenty of water, as well as keep them safe and to leave the house or apartment spotless.
About: I am currently in training to become a vet technician. My household has been full of animals for as long as I can remember. I am currently a cat mom and co-owner of a parakeet, three sea frogs, and a kitten. I am an active volunteer in animal shelters as well and will take any opportunity to care for the animals around me. I am very caring and detail-oriented and will make sure your furry friend feels safe and loved in your absence. I am working part-time so I have a lot of flexibility to come check in on your pets as needed. I am flexible with traveling around Chicago as well so coming by will not be an inconvenience to me. I will send many update photos of how your furry friends are doing. I have cared for a wide variety of animals in my life (seriously almost everything), so I am comfortable with feeding and cleaning routines, as well as just fun activities for them. I am also comfortable with any medications that a pet would need to be administered.
“Finn had a great time with Kevin over the holidays. Only a couple of photos over the stay, but Kevin gave me the confidence that all was well and made sure to reach out for clarification with any questions. My return flights got messed up and Kevin was gracious enough to extend!”
“May went above & beyond to make my senior girl that has lost her hearing feel very safe. She finally come out from her kennel to be with her on her own free will. That is huge progress for Scarlett! I so appreciate all the effort May put in! Ryder my other girl also warmed up pretty quickly. We will definatly request May again!!!! Thank you so much!”
“Amazing sitter!!! Schirn stayed with our elderly fur babies and took incredible care of them and our apartment while we were on vacation. We were in constant communication (but not too much!) before the stay, during, and after we got back home to make sure we settled back in okay. Upon meeting Schirn, you and your pets will immediately be at ease because she is a pro- comforting, reliable, trustworthy and truly goes above and beyond. The daily pictures and updates showed our pets were happy and when we got home we could tell they were very well taken care of. I highly, highly, highly recommend Schirn for picky pet parents!”
“We recently booked Manny for 7 nights to take care of our sometimes picky-eater chihuahua. We arrived home from our vacation to a spotless apartment and a very happy doggie! He sent some cute photos while we were gone — our little Ziggy clearly feels comfortable with him and it gave us peace of mind to know he was caring for her. Manny communicates clearly with us, shows up and departs on time and is an overall pleasure to work with. Will certainly book again!”
“Adeib was fabulous! He kept me up to date with everything going on with my dog Cookie and sent me lots of pictures. Adeib is a natural when it comes to taking care of dogs.”
“Always an incredible experience with Alice and Ethan! They truly care for our dog so much and always send the best pictures and updates. They are so respectful of our space when staying here too. Couldn’t recommend them enough”
“Sarah was spectacular! When booking a Rover for the first time, I was nervous, because I had never done this before. But, Sarah calmed my nerves completely, she’s easy to work with, gives you updates on your pets, and follows instructions to the T. She’ll be the first person I turn to watch my 2 cats Minnie and Mochi every time. There’s no question that your mind will be at peace when you book Sarah.”
“David was great! Our old house sitter was unavailable and David showed incredible flexibility with a last-minute booking for house sitting. During the stay, he gave us consistent updates about when he took our pooch for walks, when he would leave, and kept us posted about how our old, anxious pup was doing. He paid careful attention to our little guy and made sure he was at ease while we were out. Not only did he keep Sayer comfortable, but he also left our apartment in better shape than it was when he arrived! Thanks, David!”
“Fatima was incredible. She stayed with my two-year-old cavapoo puppy for five days in my apartment. She was very quickly responsive, and sent daily updates, pictures, and videos. Archie seemed very comfortable and happy to be with her, and she clearly also has a genuine love for animals. My apartment was also in perfect condition when I got home. I will definitely be calling Fatima back again, and I highly recommend her!”
“Absolutely awesome! Great communication and was very understanding with my dog that has some unique quirks. I came back to an apartment that was as clean or better than I left it after Emily has watched Benji overnight for 6 days. 10/10 would recommend Emily!”
“Barbara was very sweet and attentive to Dapper. She gave me daily updates and was easy to communicate with throughout the entire booking process and stay. Would definitely book her again and recommend other pet owners to do the same!”
“DP was fantastic. My Mom unexpectedly had to be rushed to ER and he came and babysat her dog within a few hrs notice. He was courteous, caring with my dog and polite and professional. Beyond flexible. THANK YOU DP!!!”

Jessica is the absolute sweetest and took such great care of Oliver. We really appreciated her updates through the sitting and could tell Ollie was happy and well cared for. She was gracious when we had a last minute change in our travel plans. She also left the apartment in great shape. Would highly recommend to everyone!!
Desiree is the best rover!! She’s very communicative and proactive. She took the best care of my cat- he is a big fan of hers now. Desiree was very good with following instructions and also managing any last minute changes that came up. I felt very at ease and comfortable knowing that my baby is in good hands. Would highly recommend!
Arianna was amazing with my sister and I’s two cats! We were very nervous leaving them for the first time in our new apartment, but Arianna was the best person to look after them! She kept us updated every day with new pictures, and when we got home the apartment was clean and tidy! And most importantly our two boys were settled and content!! Will definitely be booking with her again in the future!
Michelle is the best! She’s attentive, caring and incredibly responsible. She went the extra mile to make my pup feel comfortable in the hot nyc weather and was clear that she really cared about his general well being. She gave us regular updates with pictures / videos and fun things they did during the day. Would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be working with her again!
Sarah and Kenneth did an amazing job taking care of our dog over the weekend. They were timely, attentive, communicated well & provided updates throughout the weekend which we greatly appreciated. Highly recommend and we will definitely plan to book with them again!!!
Cat was 10/10 dog sitting for our sweet shelter pup. She is professional, kind, detail oriented, communicative and has such great knowledge of dogs! She was patient with our pup who is still learning all about boundaries, commands, and appropriate play and we know Toffee had the best weekend ever. I could not recommend Cat enough (although part of me doesn’t want to as i dont want her schedule filling up!)
Grace was so nice and friendly and very helpful to my wife's and I needs for a sitter at our weekend evening. Much appreciated the flexibility when our train was delayed and came home later than anticipated. She took care of our pup and provided frequent updates. She was super responsive and respectful. Would recommend!
Wendy did a wonderful job in-house sitting our two girls (cats). She was proactive in arranging a pre-sitting meet-up to review the home and meet the girls. She was very attuned to their individual needs and went at their pace - she clearly understands and respects the needs of cats. She was communicative with us with text/photo updates and very loving to our girls. We were able to truly relax during our time away knowing Wendy was there - she is trustworthy, easygoing, and did a great job. Will definitely re-book!
Emily is amazing! She was extremely communicative, asked questions if anything was unclear or she was unsure, and provided constant updates and photos and videos. You can tell she truly loves caring for dogs and treats them like they’re her own. She also takes amazing photos. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!
