“Loved having Miguel over to dog-sit Missy. Very clear and prompt communication, punctual, frequent updates during the day, and a genuine interest in understanding Missy's routine and keeping her on it as if we were home ourselves. Open and friendly, it was easy to trust him at our home. Missy is not yet accustomed to being alone, and Miguel was very understanding when we explained. He even came prepared with food for the day so that he wouldn't have to leave her to step out! Would definitely book with Miguel again!”
“Caroline is highly professional. She came exactly on time & sent lots of pictures and notes while she was here. She is a good communicator. I came home to a happy camper! I will definitely be using Caroline again!”
“Alice and Ethan did an amazing job watching our Penny at our apartment. They sent lots of pictures and took her on many walks and even brushed her! Penny clearly was very comfortable and well taken care of. They also took great care of our apartment. We could enjoy our vacation knowing Penny was in great hands!”
“Karina is the best sitter I’ve found for my animals in NYC. She sent pictures, details, and even made a makeshift toy for my cat when she was tired of her lazer. Any questions I had she answered quickly. She went above and beyond walking my dog and dare I say he was almost disappointed to see me walking through the door when I got home instead of Karina! I have cameras and never felt the need to check them. I even asked her to go back one last day after finishing her service because my flights got messed up and she saved the day no questions asked. I travel frequently and will be rebooking her every chance I can! Thank you so much, Karina!”
“Rebecca was great with our 2 babies. It was their first time with her and they settled in right away. She was sent pictures and updates throughout the night to ease our mind, which was so appreciated. She was able to handle our 55 lb puppy with ease. Can’t wait to have her back!”
“Madeline was the lifeline we didn’t deserve! She helped seamlessly onboard through trial walks, house visits, and managed a 10-day stay with our reactive/deaf dog. She was nothing short of incredible. Thank you Madeline!”
“Erin was so great with Lyla and sent us picture updates ! She even went above and beyond and waited for us later than originally said since my husband lost his keys. Will definitely continue to use her and recommend to all!”
“Stephanie house sit my french bulldog for a whole week. She was recommended to me from a friend who had also booked her on Rover. I left the country very far away so not easy being away from my little boy, but I couldn’t have felt more comfortable knowing Stephanie was taking care of him! Her updates were consistent and with many pictures which I loved. She was prompt to answer if I reached out (which I really didn’t feel like I needed to!) and my dog LOVED her. She’s a natural. She kept up with his routine perfectly and remembered any details I mentioned to her. Very happy. I highly recommend and will definitely be booking her again :)”
“I was an anxious dog mom leaving my little shih tzu in the care of another person after many years of not… but now that I’ve met Manny, my anxiety has subsided! Manny stayed overnight to watch my little Misty while I was away on business. I returned to a happy and relaxed Misty (and my apartment was tidy as ever, like I left it. Manny is a great house guest). Manny kept me up to date with photos and updates while I was away— great with communication. An all star sitter indeed!”
“Saifa took such good care of my dog. My dog is dog reactive, takes meds, and had a sore on his foot and Saifa took care of all of that perfectly. She was forward thinking and came to me with things she thought my dog could use and ordered them. She sent pics of everything she did, gave my son enrichment and was overall excellent. Communication 10/10, care 10/10.”
“Fatima was absolutely fantastic house sitting and caring for our two super senior old guys. She was so attentive and sent tons of pictures and was always quick to respond to any messages. Really just overall so nice to know your dogs are in such good hands in their own home while traveling.”
“Adam is a fantastic sitter and walker - would highly recommend! Extremely communicative and responsive, and was very patient with my active dog. Adam took the time to understand my dog’s unique needs and did everything he could to make sure my dog was as happy and comfortable as possible.”
“Chelsea took a last minute stay request to look after my Rori girl and I am so grateful! She kept me updated with pictures and on how Rori was doing throughout the day. It was so great knowing Rori was in great hands and I was stress-free during my trip. Will absolutely book again.”
“Dicky was wonderful with our pups. She housesat for us when we were off island for a long weekend and kept us up to date with texts and videos - very happy to have another person we can trust to help us out with the dogs. We plan to call on her again in the future!”
“Mia and Peanut were in the best hands! DP is reliable, attentive, and truly pays attention to every detail when caring for them. He even makes sure they get their supplements without missing a beat. It’s clear he goes the extra mile, and my babies adore him. I’m so grateful for the peace of mind he gives!”
“Shirley was an amazing dog sitter for our 10 month old goldendoodle. It’s been difficult to find the right sitter that understands her puppy energy and follows the outside play time schedule we have set, but Shirley went above and beyond. She sent us countless pictures and videos of our Kaiya playing at the park multiple times a day. She followed our training commands, sitting at crosswalks and before leaving the house. She gave us tips on how to help Kaiya finish her food and even finished administering some medicine. She left our house spotless which is always such a professional touch. We trust her so much we have already asked her back for our next out of town trip. Shirley is clearly an expert, kind, and attentive. Thank you for everything.”
“Kaylamay exceeded my expectations dog sitting during my very first trip away from my puppy. She was so loving and attentive to Lucia, went above and beyond with any instruction I gave her about her daily routine, made sure she had plenty of exercise and playtime, and consistently sent photos and other updates throughout every single day to help ease my mind while away. She made the time away as easy as possible for both of us. I came home to a very happy puppy and a tidy home!”
“Lenin is very professional, followed instructions to a tee, and let us enjoy our vacation in peace knowing our animals were being loved and cared for. Would definitely recommend and will be using again.”

Saifa took such good care of my dog. My dog is dog reactive, takes meds, and had a sore on his foot and Saifa took care of all of that perfectly. She was forward thinking and came to me with things she thought my dog could use and ordered them. She sent pics of everything she did, gave my son enrichment and was overall excellent. Communication 10/10, care 10/10.
David was fantastic. David took great care of our dog Milo, kept him in his usual routines and schedule, and clearly took time to play and bond with him. Milo was sad to see him go and can’t wait to have David back. David also took great care of our home and was kind, respectful, and communicative throughout.
Adeib was a great dog sitter! He stayed in my apartment and cared for my dog very well, following all instructions and communicating all throughout the stay. He welcomed my overly detailed instructions and sent pictures to updated me. I felt so confident that my dog was well cared for and would absolutely book him again!
Maria was an absolute lifesaver. She stepped in on very short notice to care for my dog, Rizzo, and handled everything flawlessly. She was comfortable administering his insulin, kept me updated throughout the morning, and sent pictures so I knew he was doing well. On top of that, she safely transported him to his next destination without any issues. It gave me huge peace of mind knowing Rizzo was in such capable and attentive hands. Maria was reliable, communicative, and clearly very experienced with dogs who have medical needs. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.
Vasil is an absolute dream sitter. He and my cat, Kasha, clicked instantly at the meet and greet, and after his overnight stay she’s completely smitten. He gave her so much attention and affection, and he was incredibly meticulous about following all of her care instructions as well as the apartment rules. I came home to a spotless space and a very happy cat. He’s definitely earned my trust. Honestly, I’m tempted to book drop-ins even when I don’t need them just so Kasha can have more time with her new bestie.
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Nigel and Moxie! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing they were in Jessica’s caring and capable hands. She gave both dogs so much love, attention, and playtime, and it was clear from the updates and photos that Nigel and Moxie were happy and relaxed the entire time. What really stood out was the extra care Jessica took with our home. Everything was spotless when we returned, and it was obvious our space had been treated with respect and care. We’re so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with our pups. We would absolutely book Jessica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets and home!
May was a great dog sitter! We appreciated her clear communication, transparency, and gentleness. Most of all, we loved the patience she had from the moment she met him. May knew Courage was anxious and fearful, so she came early to ensure more warm up time. She gave constant updates on our pup. By the end of day 1, It was a joy to see him warm up to her and receive a spa-like weekend getaway - constant belly rubs, snackies, patient calm walks, and tug of war battles. We lucked out with May and would definitely have her care for Courage again.
This was our 2nd time using Abby and she was so good with Cheddar. She was also super flexible when my travel plans shifted due to the blizzard (and also having to walk Ched DURING a blizzard). Extremely grateful to have her take care of Cheddar and will use her again :)
We are very happy with Mariia. She took great care of Snooky, who is usually a bit shy but warmed up to her very quickly. She was extremely flexible and even offered an introductory meeting before the weekend, which was very reassuring for us as it was the first time we left Snooky since moving to New York
Qing is the absolute best - she spent so much time with my cat and was very sensitive to what he wanted most on each day (play vs. pets and cuddles). She was very flexible and communicative when I ran into travel delays and she made sure my apartment was very clean and well taken care of and ready for my return. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!!
