“Cecilia was so awesome! She was attentive and diligent with all the care instructions. She sent updates with pics each day and my cat clearly loved her. I came home to an extremely clean and tidy home and a very happy kitty. Highly recommend Cecilia to care for your pets!”


“Domenica stayed with my dog Kosmos for three nights. I can only recommend her services. She was very responsive, sent me updates, and took great care of him. Kosmos often gets anxious when I’m traveling, which I can see based on how he acts while I’m away and right after I’m back. But this time he was completely relaxed and happy, which is entirely Domenica’s accomplishment.”

“Jose is communicative and responsible. Our dog Lola was super happy with him and we had total peace of mind leaving Lola for 5 days. It made our trip so much more enjoyable! We will hire him again! Jose watched Lola at our house and took great care of them both (house and dog). He’s a respectful guest. He sent us many pictures and videos so we knew she was getting out and eating well. He spoiled her with attention and exercise (she’s high energy and needy so this was perfect!)”

About: As a full-time teacher and lifelong dog lover, I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Friends, family, and coworkers often rely on me to board their pets, knowing they’ll be loved and well cared for while they’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and passionate about making sure each dog feels safe, happy, and at home. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’ll treat them like part of my family. I work full-time as a teacher, but I’m available for boarding on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I dedicate my free time to caring for pets and make sure every dog gets plenty of love, attention, and outdoor time when staying with me. As a full-time teacher and lifelong animal lover, I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life. Friends, family, and coworkers often trust me to board their dogs or check in on their pets when they’re away. I recently rescued two kittens, adding to my experience caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I’m patient, responsible, and truly enjoy giving every pet the love and attention they deserve. Whether your pup needs playtime and long walks or your cat just needs a friendly visit, I’ll treat them like family. I offer a calm, loving home environment where your dog can feel safe and relaxed. I follow each pet’s normal routine and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. While I can’t board cats, I’m happy to care for them in their own home—making sure they’re fed, comfortable, and given plenty of affection. Your pets’ happiness and safety are always my top priorities
“Raiysa is a Queen!!! I could not have asked for a better dog sitter for my two rescue dogs!!! They require special care and she went above and beyond. I feel confident in saying that she is, in fact, an animal whisperer. While I was away, Raiysa sent me tons of videos, pics, and updates. If she had a question, she reached out, even just to be safe. I felt so at peace knowing my quirky, needy, attention loving dogs were safely in her hands. Thanks again, Raiysa! Queso and Honey send their love, until next time!”


“Courtney was fantastic with our dog and our cat, too. She is very kind and definitely built a great bond with our dog while we were away. We hope to book with her again in the future.”

“Arin was so sweet and attentive to Aloo while I was away for a 4 day trip. She stayed in my home and kept it tidy and was very communicative with updates on Aloo throughout the sitting. I had mentioned Aloo is a rescue and is anxious and reactive and Arin reassured me that she would be careful with her walks and general care. Arin has experience with and training rescue dogs as well which was so reassuring. When I came back home Aloo felt calmer and was actually less reactive than she usually is which says a lot about Arin! Would definitely book with her in the future.”

“Shariana came to the rescue last minute when our previous sitter had an emergency and couldn't watch over our pup and she was incredibly communicative in coordinating the booking under such a time crunch. As for the care, she was incredibly loving to our dog during the sitting experience and sent us consistent text/photo updates while we were away, which was all much appreciated! We're definitely planning on using her again and would recommend her to any/everyone!”

About: I’ve had my two cats for about three years now, and we’ve built a routine together around feeding, playing, sleeping, and everything in between. Every day when I walk through the door, they’re the first two to greet me. I make sure they’re always fed, clean, hydrated, well cared for, and most importantly, safe. I work full time during the week, so I’m generally unavailable during the day, but I’m usually free in the evenings after work and have full availability on weekends. I live in a two-bedroom, ground-floor apartment with a private, enclosed patio where my cats can safely explore outdoors without the risk of escaping. We also have an extra bedroom set up so they have their own space and time when they want it.
“Charlie was great! Extremely responsive and receptive with my Puppy, kept us up to date and was a great experience to have dog sittint especially given the tight turnaround. If the opportunity was required I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again”

“Lori was dependable and reliable. She stayed at my house and took great care of our dog Sammy. She is truely an animal lover. She sent photos and texts during her stay updating me on Sammy's care. She left my house immaculate. I would highly recommend her.”

About: Travis: I grew up with dogs and started caring for them independently at the age of 13. I've frequently dog-sat for friends and provided assistance to elderly dog owners in my neighborhood. As a natural animal lover, I've nurtured dogs from their playful puppy days through to their senior years. I’m dedicated to ensuring every dog feels safe, loved, and well-cared for, no matter their age or needs. Mel: I’ve had pets all throughout my life and have sat both Pups and Cats alike. I’ve always been naturally drawn to pet care. Inspired by the different quirky personalities that come with each one. Rover was a no brainer for Travis and I. We treat every animal we get like we would our very own ♥️ I am a freelance artist and Mel is a wfh tech girly. We love to spend a lot of our free time outside. Because I am a freelancer and she’s wfh we have a lot of flexibility with how we spend our day. It's always nice to have some furry company and get our steps in! We care for pets in our clean, spacious apartment, ensuring they have plenty of room to relax and play. Being right next to a trail along a greenway and only a few blocks from a park and dog park, we offer regular walks and outdoor adventures tailored to their energy levels. In your home, We maintain your pet’s routine and comfort, treating your space with respect while ensuring your furry friend feels safe and cared for. Whether at our place or yours, we provide a nurturing environment where pets feel loved and at ease.
“Brianna is the best in the business by far, first off my pups loved her & she took extremely great care of my two huskies. Brianna is trust worthy & reliable. Brianna communicated everyday and sent pictures to keep in the loop. I was skeptical at first bringing a stranger in my home but Brianna changed that quickly for me. I would defend rebook Brianna.”

“Clay is amazing! I recently adopted a second cat, and their introduction is not going as smoothly as I expected. Since my 2 cats are not on good terms, I was worried about leaving, but Clay made everything easier. He sent me pictures every day, gave me updates about my kitties, and handled everything with kindness and patience. I would definitely recommend him!”

About: He’ll there! My name is Jessica— an active, dependable pet caregiver currently working toward my credentials because your animals deserve someone who takes this seriously. I’m available middays, evenings, and weekends, and I happily offer home stays for pets who do best in a cozy, familiar environment. I’m based in the Co-Op city and love prioritizing neighborhood clients — there’s something special about being the trusted sitter on your block. I also serve the Southeast Bronx along the 5 and 6 train corridors, making me accessible to a wide range of families across the area. For home visits and trial walks, due to cancellations I need to charge a flat rate of 20$ . I’m strong and experienced handling larger dogs, and I welcome medically complex care — whether that means administering medication, managing special diets, or keeping a close eye on a senior or post-op pup. My community roots run deep, and that means you’ll always get honest communication, photo updates, and a sitter who truly cares. 🌻 Is important to me that a space is kept clean, and habits are the overtime to maintain a space and animal health. Forgetting to do a litter box, one day happens, but forgetting to do it constantly can lead to your pet killing a fungal infection, and having a lot of pain in the limbs they walk on. I like to take a systems thinking approach, and things like a few times a week and cleaning your space everyday and securing unsafe spaces is super important . I work in retail and the service industry so I would love to transition out of that soon as hour can be short or sparse this time of year and build my photography business. Taking care of pets and having pet models for my portfolio would be great as well as the time to be active and have fun as I focus on building these foundational skills. I’ve already done the hectic schedule of chasing shifts downtown for the last 2 years so if I could have slower days and have clients closer to me that would be great. To me a very successful play session involves observing the pet where they are,and how they interact because I am a guest in their space firstly, and giving them attention and love is my first priority. I don’t care that I may start out at a Lower rate or XYNZ is out of my pay grade. I’m not leaving a fecal mess or putting my headphones on, and turning Netflix and putting my feet up during a session because I can . The TV will always be there but the emotions and potential reactive response of a pet that might start biting plants or getting into stuff they shouldn’t —can lead to a permanent result. I want the pets I care to stay interested or at least rest and feel comfortable in their space and know that some one is there to feed them and respond to their needs or at least be willing to figure out what they need and not dismiss them. I have been trained by another company called Big City Wolf on proper dog handling and plan to get my animal CPR training this March and apply to work at the new ACS center in Coop city .
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 5 years, including my family dog and family friends’. I love going on walks, bathing, and feeding dogs. I know some tricks to give them medicine if needed. I’m working part-time on Saturdays, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your fur baby throughout the week. I don’t have any time restraints, so feel free to rely on me. I know how to crate dogs, regardless of age, and have a lot of patience since I’ve babysat toddlers before too. I know not all dogs are the same and wait for them to approach first unless there’s an emergency.
“Iris was wonderful! She was very responsible. She showed up at the time indicated to get my keys, responded to texts within minutes, and regularly sent me pics and videos of my dog!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Baychester
Angelena was great with bailey while we were away. She gave updates all the time and made sure to let us know if anything happened. Bailey really enjoyed cuddles with her and going on her walks. Angelena will definitely be booked again for bailey as that is her new friend.

Carson was absolutely wonderful. She did an absolutely wonderful job getting my shy Cavapoo to open up to her, and even play fetch! Carson updated me every day with pictures and context, and was very responsible. I would absolutely trust Carson again to stay in my home take care of my Cavapoo. 100% would recommend!

This is the second time I have hired Shayla to watch my dogs and it won’t be the last! My dogs are very affectionate “Velcro dogs” and Shayla did not seem to mind at all; she sent pics of her and my dogs relaxing together. Additionally, my older pup is stage 3 CKD and Shayla had no issue administering sub-q fluids and medications When I come home, they’re more happy than anxious bc she made them comfortable while I was away. Thank you again Shayla! You’re amazing. Def a rebook for me.

Grace was an incredible find!! My dog loved her from the moment he met her! I was totally at ease leaving her with him for the weekend. She sent a ton of pictures and was in constant contact with me. My dog looked so happy with her taking care of him. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a caring sitter for your pet!!!!!

We had a wonderful experience with our sitter Banessa! She was very kind, reliable, and took great care of our cat, Tikhon. She stayed overnight every night as agreed and kept us updated with lovely photos and messages. It was clear from the photos that Tikhon was happy and comfortable with her, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated how responsible and caring she was and would definitely recommend her to other pet parents!

Rochelle was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better dogsitter. She came by before the sitting to meet us, get familiar with our pets, and learn her way around the house. Since we weren’t home, we arranged her arrival in advance, and everything worked perfectly. She was completely comfortable finding her way around the house and handled all of our pets with confidence and care. It was clear from the start that Rochelle is responsible, professional, and genuinely loves animals. She took excellent care of our pets, kept everything in order, and somehow even left the house looking nicer than when she arrived! We can highly recommend Rochelle. Her friendly nature, professionalism, reliability, and the wonderful care she gave our pets gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely have her sit for us again!

Natalie was wonderful! I left Piper with her for the day and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was so kind, punctual, and incredibly helpful when I was in a last-minute bind. She responded quickly, even came to pick Piper up and drop her back off at my house, and kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos. I felt completely comfortable knowing Piper was in such good hands. 10/10 would recommend Natalie, and I’ll definitely be keeping her in mind for future sittings!

Domenica stayed with my dog Kosmos for three nights. I can only recommend her services. She was very responsive, sent me updates, and took great care of him. Kosmos often gets anxious when I’m traveling, which I can see based on how he acts while I’m away and right after I’m back. But this time he was completely relaxed and happy, which is entirely Domenica’s accomplishment.

Lilly was a great at-home sitter for my 4 month old puppy, Lila! Lilly tended to Lila’s needs, was affectionate with her, and was very responsive with me. She also consistently sent me adorable photos of my Lila while she was with her. Lilly also kept my space very clean. I will definitely hire her again :)

Brianna is the best in the business by far, first off my pups loved her & she took extremely great care of my two huskies. Brianna is trust worthy & reliable. Brianna communicated everyday and sent pictures to keep in the loop. I was skeptical at first bringing a stranger in my home but Brianna changed that quickly for me. I would defend rebook Brianna.

Juliet is THE BEST! This was the first time we had a sitter stay in our home since one of our doggies is now blind and we could not be happier with how Juliet took care of our girls. She communicated throughout the week and was so respectful of our home, she left it with basically no trace LOL I can't recommend her enough. We've been trusting her with our girls for a couple of years now and will continue to have her be our go-to sitter. Thank you Juliet!

Syeda was great, she was able to take care of my home, keep my cats company while I was away. I was very satisfied with her service and I highly recommend booking her for you house sitting and cat care needs. Thanks so much for taking care of my home and cats. Your service allowed me to travel and not worry about my home. I’m very thankful. Lisa ✨
