“So lovely to have Candice watch our little guy. She gives great notes and catches some funny faces in the photos she takes for the check-in reports. We’re hooked. Respectful and diligent and all around kind person.”
“Kiana is fantastic! Conscientious, thorough and caring! My shy kitty warmed up to her immediately and he was calm and relaxed when we returned. I appreciated all the many pictures and especially her detailed visit notes so I could enjoy my time away knowing Buddy was in great hands. Highly recommend!!”
“Joy did great with my two cats! She sent pics every day, was very communicative, and I came home to super clean litter boxes :-) Much appreciated on a 9-day trip - I hadn't left them alone that long before, and it was reassuring to know they were being well taken care of.”
“Can’t recommend Sylvia enough! She was super communicative, provided detailed updates each visit, and sent so many wonderful pictures of our cat, Barty! We could tell Barty felt very comfortable with Sylvia which made going away for a few days so much easier for us. If you’re looking for a kind and reliable sitter, Sylvia’s it!”
“Sarah was so wonderful with my cat! I loved the daily pic/video updates. My cat, Bonobo, was very comfortable and happy and my apartment was the same as I left it when I returned from my vacation. Definitely would work with her again!”
“Megan was amazing again and came to my pup’s rescue when he wasn’t feeling the best. She communicated his health issues clearly with me so that I could have information for the vet visit. So thankful for her!”
“Jasmine did an amazing job taking care of my little fur baby. She was very transparent, gave great updates, and most importantly - my cat loved her. Definitely recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover & grew up with both a cat and a dog, so I know how to care for pets with different personalities and needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away, I’m here to provide reliable, attentive care like they’re part of my own family! I work full-time on a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility throughout the week. I’m typically available for evening visits on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. I’ll always make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need, even with a busy schedule! I make sure pets feel at home with lots of love, playtime, and sticking to their routine. I have a turf balcony for quick potty breaks and fresh air, and I’m all about keeping them comfy and cared for while you’re away.
“David helped me out last minute when another sitter canceled on me! He was great and very patient with mocha, as she took her time warming up lol. He showed up everyday on time, was very communicative in making sure mocha’s needs were met. Would recommend booking David for your fur babies!”
“Karalyn, once again, thank you so much for taking care of Mylo and Lukas! I appreciate you picking up Mylo’s medication in the vet! As always, you were amazing with my boys! Great work and everything went perfect with your help.”
“Eleni took great care of our cat while we were out on vacation. This was the first time we left our cat alone for 6 days and were quite stressed about it. Thanks to Eleni, our cat did well and we didn’t need to worry about her during our vacation.”
“Our cat Dewey was in great hands with Devon, who did drop-in visits over a few days. Devon was communicative and gave us a lot of confidence that Dewey was being well looked after: highly recommend her as a sitter!”
“Huge thanks to Bailey for taking on a last minute drop in request! Our dog can be very anxious so very appreciative of her being accommodating our requests for his care.”
“Rebecca was so kind and patient with my senior pup! She separated time to meet us beforehand and provided excellent updates when we were away. My dog had a great time & I absolutely will be booking Rebecca again for my next trip!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years, starting with friends’ pets and my own sweet dog, Dalí, who’s been part of my family for more than 11 years. I understand how much attention and care each dog needs, whether they’re energetic puppies or calm dogs. I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same respect I give my own. You can count on me to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work part-time from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention, care, and playtime they deserve. I’m available for boarding on weekdays after 10 a.m. I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine to help them feel at home. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment building with a calm and safe environment where dogs can relax and feel comfortable. I make sure pets are always supervised and have a cozy space to rest. When your dog is in my home, their safety and well-being are always my top priority.
About: I rescued my fur baby in February 2021 and have loved every second of taking care of her. I work from home MWF, so I have a flexible schedule, and I’m more than happy to love up on your fur baby as well! I can ensure that your four-legged family member will be in good hands during our time together. I know life gets busy, so let me take one thing off your plate by walking and caring for him/her :) I'm quick to learn, attentive to any special requests you may have, and overall grateful for entrusting me with walking and caring for your furry family member. Working from home gives me a flexible schedule. Caring for my pup comes first, but I usually have enough space to add in additional walks for other dogs each week! I’m more than happy to crate your dog before/after walks or provide them with any care you specify. I treat your home and your dog with love and respect.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years - from day long stays to multi-week housing. I worked at the Michigan humane society and have experience with all breeds of dogs/cats. Overall I’ve always loved animals but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I am a strategic financial associate at Uber but have a hybrid work schedule - I am available for walking, house visits and boarding Friday through Monday. I live in a dog friendly building in a large two bedroom unit with plenty of space for a dog. No current dogs at the residence.
“Eliza took such good care of my cat Ozu. Eliza and her team sent frequent updates and gave my cat plenty of attention during their visits. I will definitely have them watch her again in the future.”
Astoria-Long Island City pet parents share their Rover experiences
Courtney did a great job with Raven and Roman during her drop-in visit! I was especially happy that Raven felt comfortable enough to come out and meet her, since she’s usually shy with new people. It was also nice to know that Raven got to enjoy her meal without Roman stealing it. Courtney was reliable, caring, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’d happily book with her again!
Donna is the absolute best. She somehow did the impossible and now my kitty waits for her by the door. Our cat typically only likes my husband and I. Donna is truly the pet whisperer. She’s also such a delight. We are so grateful to have Donna as our cat sitter.
We were so fortunate to have Melissa available to watch our cat. She’s a genuine animal lover and took amazing care of him. He’s had health issues this year and is on several new medications, so we were nervous to leave him, but Melissa checked in with us twice a day with detailed updates and tons of great photos. If you’re in need of a pet sitter, look no further- you’ll be in great hands here!
Clint was fantastic! This was my first time leaving my kitten with a sitter, and I felt completely comfortable and confident that he was in great hands. Clint was incredibly sweet with my cat, very communicative, and sent lots of photos and videos during each visit, which I really appreciated. He was also very flexible and easy to work with when I had some last-minute schedule changes. It’s clear he’s knowledgeable about cats and genuinely cares about them. I couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience. 10/10 - I will absolutely be booking with Clint again!
Xiaoying was so great! She took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. My cat needs medication every other day and regular facial cleaning, and she handled everything perfectly. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about my cat’s well-being. I was especially impressed by how clean and organized everything was when I returned. She went above and beyond, and I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. I would gladly book with her again and highly recommend her to others.
Adrienne was amazing! She provided great updates and care. When our cat had a health change she was quick to notice, alert us, and even offered to check on her an extra time. We really appreciated all she did and our shy cat loved having her visit. Definitely would recommend!
Brianna is very professional and took the very best care for our cat while we traveled 😊 Our cat is extremely shy, but Brianna was patient and I can see from the pictures she sent us that he was opening up to her 💗Would love to book her again when we travel next time!
This is our second time with Victor and he’s great. He’s reliable and responsive as well as detail oriented and kind. He cares about your pets emotional well being and is patient to befriend them alongside of all the normal responsibilities of pet sitting. It’s hard to find people that understand and respect animals individual autonomy and we know our girl is in good hands with him.
