“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 had a great experience! Wes was very communicative, accommodating, and took great care of our dog while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and how easy he was to work with. We would absolutely book with him again!”

“Kenine was amazing! Very attentive to our Sky. Lots of walks and video updates for us. We felt very comfortable and knew that Sky was safe and getting plenty of love and attention while we were away. We will be booking again and highly recommend!”

“This was our first time having Razan watch our cat, and she was fantastic! She is proactive, considerate, and highly communicative. I especially appreciated that she took the time to meet our cat beforehand to learn how to administer his asthma inhaler. While we were away, she was attentive to all his needs and sent daily photos and updates. We returned to a clean and tidy apartment. Thank you so much, Razan!”


“Ruojia was so great! She was so good about keeping us updated on our dog. She took great care of him and he always looked so happy in the pictures :)”

“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!!!”

“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!”

“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.”
“Amy was so amazing with our Phoebe! She’s a puppy and can be a bit of a handful but Amy kept up with (and calmed) her crazy! She was communicative, thoughtful, and went above and beyond. Definitely recommend her if you want your pup to have the best time ever!”

“Colin took great care of our cats Charlie and Mr Mary when we were away. We had him housesit as our one cat was a rescue who had been abandoned so he gets anxiety when left too long. Both cats were happy and relaxed when we returned, and what we most appreciated was that Colin stayed at our place the majority of the time we were away )including during the day). They were never alone for long which was a huge relief for us to be able to relax and enjoy our trip. Thank you!”

“Kevin was great and a huge help watching Sora for an extended period of time (10+ nights). I returned to a healthy dog and a clean apartment, so happy with the service he provided! Would book again!”
“Alice and Ethan literally went above and beyond taking care of our baby Mango! They were so communicative, patient with him, and kept us in the loop at all times! Can’t wait to have them watch Mango again, best babysitting experience we have ever had.”


“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.”

“Abdelkader was excellent! He was communicative and followed all the directives that I left for him. To be honest, I don’t plan on using anyone else for my cat sitting services if I can avoid it. He’s just that good! I look forward to booking his services again!”

“Maria is such an amazing sitter. She has a warm, kind and caring personality! That's why Bailey lover her. Provided regular updtes and pictures. Will definitely hire her again Thank you Maria!.”

Astoria-Long Island City pet parents share their Rover experiences
I am so happy with Colin. And so is my cat Lucy. I was gone for eight days and I came back to a happy cat, a clean apartment and everything else was fine. It made my vacation, worry and stress free. I will use him again. He also sent me pictures almost every day. Thank you so much.

Pedro is amazing. We have two senior golden retrievers who are not as mobile, and Pedro did a great job taking care of them as well as our apartment! He was extremely communicative, took many photos and videos, followed our instructions on how to take care of our senior dogs, checked in with us often. Would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a responsible person to help caring for their dogs!!
May is terrific! I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. She is dependable, responsible, attentive, and incredibly caring, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. We especially appreciated the regular updates, photos, and thoughtful communication, which allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying. It was obvious that our dog, Dante, received plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and individualized May is everything you could hope for in a pet sitter. We would gladly use her services again and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for outstanding care for their pets.

Danny was wonderful! He stayed at our place for 3 nights and watched two of my elderly (12-13 yo) little 9 lbs dogs. He was extremely professional and responsible - prompt with replies, followed up politely when I failed to respond in a timely fashion, and left the house in very good order. I highly recommend Danny and would absolutely seek him out again.

Anita took excellent care of my shy, skittish rescue dog. She made her feel safe, and they became friends. Anita was very concerned about her welfare, and very communicative with me. She sent messages, photos, and videos, and she asked questions when she was unsure. She was also considerate in her care for my apartment. I will ask her to dog sit again when I go away in the future.

Saifa is incredibly communicative and detail oriented. I have two reactive 1 year old dogs and they liked her immediately, which is rare for them. She carefully followed all instructions including separating their food and their walks to ensure they didn’t pull too much, and she sent photos every hour! I highly recommend her, she’s great with animals, reliable, and takes great care to do a wonderful job.

Robin was awesome! My Rummy takes a minute to come out of her shell, but she was in great hands for a week. Robin easily won her over and the communication was 10/10 – I received daily updates with photos and if there were any concerns, they were flagged. I’d recommend Robin for any feline sitting!
