“Colin was a kind and accommodating catsitter who stayed overnight at my place for 5 days while I traveled for work. He was very attentive to my cat's needs and helpful in paying special attention to some recent medical issues my cat was experiencing, plus left my apartment in great shape. I have Colin booked again for another trip in June and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and considerate petsitter. Thanks Colin!”
“Our second time booking Caroline and she has been wonderful again! Very patient with our senior pup who walks super slow and needs to be carried when he gets tired and up/down the stairs. She followed instructions and have left the apt clean! Thank you and until the next!”
“Mahlet is everything you could ask for in a cat sitter and more. She communicated with us regularly, including lots of photos of our cat throughout the day. In fact, our cat was clearly enjoying his time with Mahlet so much that we think he misses her. When one of his toys broke, Mahlet replaced it with multiple new toys. As a bonus, Mahlet was generous enough to bring two packages upstairs and left our apartment spotless. We recommend Mahlet 100%!”
“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.”
“Everything was great. Followed our pets schedule and provided plenty of love. The house was very clean when we returned so that was a huge bonus. Will definitely use again in the future”
“Loved Yaisa, she was so nice to the pups and she send updates. She did everything right and did everything that we had asked for and more. We will totally get her again for another sitting. THANK YOU so much!”
“I am so glad we found TJ and cannot recommend him highly enough. We have an old lab and I was extremely nervous about leaving her, but TJ was fantastic. I felt like he took care of her as though she was his own, was communicative and very respectful of our home. TJ is the best!”
“Leslie treated my dogs and my home like they were her own. She kept me updated with their walks, and meal times. Loved that she sent me pictures throughout the day and when I returned from travel my apartment was super organized and everything was in its place. Loved getting back to happy pups and a happy home. I would absolutely recommend. Thank you Leslie!!”
“This was our second time using Stephanie for house sitting. My generally fearful cat is very comfortable with her which is such a relief - I’m not having to stress being away from her. Will absolutely continue to use Stephanie until she’ll no longer have us.”
“Fatima was absolutely amazing! She houses at our golden retriever Willow for ten days and was absolutely fabulous. She was responsive, sent several daily updates, and made sure that she had daily walks/outings. She really cares about the animals she cares for and it truly shows. She took amazing care of our apartment as well! We will definitely be rebooking her in the future!”
“As always, Jessica never ceases to amaze us! She takes fantastic care of not only our pup, but our house as well. We are so comfortable with Rigi being in her care when we travel. She also sends lots of updates and photos which help us deal with missing our pup. There are not enough words to hype Jessica up!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU”
About: I have been around dogs all my life, cared for friends and family’s pets as well as my own dogs. I currently don’t have any pets and I would love to hang with your pup for the day or for longer stays. I have taken care of senior dogs, blind dogs, and puppies! I currently live in an apartment with my fiance in LIC queens and we both work hybrid schedules. I am completing my masters at NYU so I am home usually all weekend studying so I would be by your pets side all day. I am a very active person and love to be outside, so I am happy to take your dog out for very long walks so we can both get some exercise. We do not have any pets in the home so your pet would have the entire place to themselves. Very respectful of your home if I am coming to you.
“Brittany was great with our dog who we recently adopted. She maintained a clean home and our pup was very well taken care of! I plan on booking with her again.”
“Lauren watched our two rescues while we were away at a wedding and it was a great experience. I was nervous leaving my dogs as it is the first time we have used a sitter, but Lauren put my mind at ease by sending plenty of pictures and updates throughout the weekend. We came home to two happy dogs and are definitely thankful for Lauren’s help!”
“Having done walks for us in the past to get to know our pup, Julia stayed in our house with our 1.5 year old 65lb mix for a few days and it went really well! Julia is super responsive and sent great pics throughout their stay of all the walks they went on and hanging together at home. We're still new-ish dog owners so it definitely comforted us knowing he was in good hands while we went away. We already booked her for another stay.”
“Britt did an amazing job taking care of our dogs while we were away for the holidays. She sent updates each day and followed all feeding and medication instructions perfectly. One of our dogs is shy and takes time to warm up to new people. Britt was great at giving her the space she needed and earning her trust. On arriving home she had left notes about her stay with the pups and we could tell they had been very well taken care of while we were gone!”
“Sonja is a wonderful pet sitter! She is reliable, caring and very thoughtful. I am so happy I found her! My cats love her, even the super shy one! Highly recommend Sonja! I will definitely book her in the future.”
“Kaycee was very lovely. She took great care of both our home and our boy Kouga. She gave daily updates and made sure he got all of his daily walks. She was very welcoming and understanding of our situation. I would happily rebook! :)”

Astoria-Long Island City pet parents share their Rover experiences
Tenzin was so good with Lucy and Hana! Very gentle and patient. Made sure both got enough play. Lucy really bonded with her in a short time. We received photos and communication regularly so had nothing to worry about. She kept the house nice and clean. Absolute pleasure. Hope to have her back!
Katia took great care of my pup while I was on a two week trip. She sent photos and kept me updated throughout, and I felt like I could relax during my time away while she was watching her. She was responsible and super respectful of my home. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!
This was our second time booking with Justine and we’re just as happy as the first time around! It was such a relief knowing she was taking care of our pups while we were away. She is very communicative and kind, and took excellent care of them. The house was clean and tidy when we came home too
Madison watched my two cats while I was away for three weeks and was great. She was attentive to the cats, making note of which toys each one liked and even catching some irregular breathing that needed to be checked by a vet. She took good care of the cats and the apartment while I was away, and I have no hesitation recommending her to others for cat sitting. She went above and beyond in making sure the cats were taken care of.
TJ was my first Rover experience and he was great. He was very communicative and shared lots of updates with us while we traveled for a week. I appreciate his genuine care of our Frenchie and was able to support with some specific dietary and daily care needs. TJ helped keep him healthy and happy!
This was my second time booking with Fatima and, just like last time, she took elite care of my 20 year old cat. My cat was a little sick on the day I left for my trip and Fatima changed her schedule around to arrive earlier than we had planned and sent detailed check ins that made it possible for me to leave without being anxious. I’m truly so grateful for how carefully she looks after my cat and my house and my peace of mind, can’t recommend her more highly!
Alley was absolutely fantastic with our Ro! Ro is super sweet but can be reactive with strange people and Alley went out of her way to make sure Ro was comfortable with her. She was super communicative and always gave updates, and she took extra special great care of Ro with extra walkies and lots of play time. Highly recommend Alley!
