“Tracy took care of my rabbits when my family was having an emergeny and I couldnt have asked for someone more perfect for the job to look after them while we were away even without meeting us last minute. She had no problems with getting access to our home and kept in touch througout the whole visit reassuring me and my gf that our pets are in good hands. Highly recommend 👌”

“Chelsie is adored by Duke. She is attentive, friendly, playful and hands on teaching him on every visit. I appreciate her approach and advice to help make Duke feel his best when she is there. She is a huge help, so thankful we found Duke a great friend.”

About: Hi! I'm Janis—a current college student on a gap semester, excited to meet your pet(s)! I’ve been caring for all kinds of animals since I was young—dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish—you name it! Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs— from energetic puppies to senior dogs, as well as large breeds like Pit Bulls, Samoyeds, and Labradors. I am open to making exceptions for some large breeds depending on their behavior and after a meet-and-greet. I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I gained experience walking and handling anxious dogs. My experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant has given me strong familiarity with handling medications, special diets, and injury care. I’m highly attentive, detail-oriented, and comfortable following specific care instructions to ensure your pet’s safety and well-being. I’m very responsive and make sure pet parents always feel connected by sending frequent photo and video updates. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and bond with them through the activities they enjoy most. I’m currently on a gap semester, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m able to spend most of the day with them, with exceptions for errands, but they will never be left alone, as I live with family. I provide at least 2–3 walks or potty breaks per day, and I’m happy to adjust based on your pet’s needs and routine. I also accept last-minute bookings whenever possible! I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication at all times. I’m primarily based in Brooklyn, where I live in a house with a fenced front yard and provide most of my pet care services. I also occasionally stay at a second home in Pasadena, Maryland with a large fenced backyard and offer care locally there when I’m in the area. I do not transport pets between locations– services are always provided in one consistent environment to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety. During walks, I take a cautious approach by starting in quieter areas with minimal traffic to help pets feel secure, especially in new environments. I always pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I live with my family, so pets will never be left alone if I had to run out, and I always communicate this clearly with owners ahead of time. I currently don’t have other pets in my Brooklyn home aside from fish, which allows me to give your pet my full attention. I can also follow instructions like crating or separating pets if needed.
“Lucy was awesome with our dog who gets some separation anxiety when we leave her. She sent us such cute pictures and Maple was clearly super comfortable with her and happy to have her stop by to feed her and take her for a walk. She communicated with us really well and made us feel like Maple was in really good hands, which allowed us to be able to enjoy ourselves on our trip away. We’ll definitely work with Lucy again in the future!”

“As always, I returned home to happy and well cared for kitties! They’re very shy around new people but have accepted Barbara as a friend now, which is awesome! Thank you so much for caring for them :)”

About: I grew up with dogs of all kinds (German shepard, Pekinese, chihuahuas, Pomeranians, golden retrievers) and have always looked after family and friends dogs while away since elementary school! I have two dogs of my own! I am currently working part time as a medical assistant in outpatient psychiatry. On my days off, I love hanging out with my dogs, teaching them new tricks, long walks along the shore, going to parks and going on runs together! I have a private home with two friendly malteses who are always looking for new friends! I’m also a nursing student and love to do my research on pet nutrition (macros/micros) and am always looking for healthy alternatives for my pets and I!
“Andy was great with my spicy Calico and even got her to take treats from him, which is no small feat. He was prompt with the reports and took lots of photos, and was very helpful in the emergency I was dealing with. Absolutely would book him again.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since 15. I gained all of my experience that I have today through taking care of neighbors, friends, colleagues, and family’s pets. I am a loving, kind, caring, and patient person. I learned so much from caring for animals, that I adore them so much! Also additional, I have experience with puppies, kittens, and senior pets. I’m currently a college student, my classes are held online. Which gives me plenty of time to spend with the doggies. My weekends are busy but I can do mornings only. Because the weekends are the only days I have to finish my college work. I care for my clients pets like if they were my own. I make sure to make my clients pets feel as comfortable and safe as possible, like if they were in their own home. I love taking my time to get to know my clients pets because each pet has their own personality! I also make sure to follow any rules or meal plans that my clients leave for their pets.
“Daisy was amazing and worked with my last minute needs. I felt Samson was in great hands and because of Daisy’s great communication, I was able to see how happy and taken care of he was.”
“Amy was communicative and friendly and really made an effort with my cat Cotton even though he's shy with strangers at first. She responds quickly to sitter inquiries and leaves very thorough report cards. Would def book again!”


About: Hi besties! 🐾 :D Thank you for giving me a chance! 😊 I know it can feel like a lot to trust someone with your fur baby—but given the opportunity, I promise to treat them with all the love, care, and attention they deserve! 💖 A little about me—I feed the neighborhood cats and I'm a foster parent with the ASPCA, so caring for animals is truly at the heart of what I do. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, and I'll be fully present and doting while you're away. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands! 🐾 I'm so excited to care and meet you and your cute baby (long-term or short-term, whichever suits you)! Whether you have a cat, a dog, or both, my goal is simple: to make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely cared for while you're away. 💗 I've been a cat owner for almost 10 years—my sweet baby is literally the love of my life, and I know just how special that bond is. I follow him everywhere, and my favorite thing is snuggling together as we fall asleep. I understand the trust you're placing on me, and I don't take that lightly. From playtime and snuggles to keeping their routine consistent, I'll treat your cat like the royalty they are. 💕 I love dogs too! I've walked dogs before and genuinely enjoyed every moment with them. While I'm still building my experience with dogs, I'm attentive, caring, and will follow your instructions because no one knows your baby better than you. Whether it's sticking to their routine, practicing commands, or just making sure they get all the love and exercise they need—I've got your dog and yours back! 💛 If you have any requests, you can always message me! I'd love to help and make accommodations. ✨ I'm also a licensed esthetician specializing in waxing, and like so many others right now, I'm navigating a tough job market. Cat and dog care is such a joyful way to connect with precious babies (and meet awesome people like you!) while I work toward opening my own business. So if you're looking for someone to love on your baby, booking with me means you're also supporting a local small business owner chasing her dream. So if you can support me along the way, that would just be purrfect! 💖 :D If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and who will genuinely adore your baby, I'd be so honored to meet you both. Let's link! :D I'm available pretty much anytime since I'm currently looking for work as a licensed waxer. So if you ever need a wax too—I'm here! :D I have the sweetest little cat at home and we're literally attached at the hip—I follow him around everywhere and we spend all our time cuddling, watching TV, and just being together. I can't function without him fr so he's always by my side lol. I love dogs too and have walked them before—I'm still learning but I'm super caring and will treat your baby with just as much love. I know pets need their space sometimes, so I'm good at reading (especially cats) their mood—whether they wanna play, cuddle, or just have me sit nearby and exist with them. I'll bring that same energy and care to your baby too! ✨
“Angel went above and beyond in her care for our pets. One of our Guinea Pigs was actually pregnant and gave birth while we were away- none of us expected or had experienced this before- and Angel herself works mostly with cats and dogs but she handled it like a pro! She took such great care of all of the babies and sent us pictures and videos every day as requested, which was so fun for my kids because they wanted to be there. She bought more veggies for them as needed and kept their cages very clean. I will definitely be using Angel again in the future and I highly recommend her!”

About: I have 2 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats for friends, neighbors, and family members. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s personality and needs. I can help with walking, feeding, playtime, cleaning, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I always try to give pets attention, affection, and a calm environment so they feel cared for and relaxed. Pet care fits well into my routine because I’m flexible and organized with my time. I’m available on most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and spending quality time with pets. I enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable, active, and cared for throughout the day. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well supervised in both my home and a client’s home. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions from owners. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets and try to create a calm, clean, and trustworthy environment where they can feel secure and relaxed.

About: I have 2 cats that we adopted from a rescue organization. While I don't have formal experience in pet sitting, I am currently a special education therapist and work with kids ages 2-5. I have been in the field for over 15 years already! I am a warm and caring individual while being able to set clear expectations for kids and pets to follow. I am also a single parent to my kids, now ages 11 and 14. I won't be working much this summer so I will have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! I can do up to 5 drop-ins for cats and 2 dog walkings per day. My schedule will be open for bookings starting end of June until beginning of September. I plan to follow all household routines that you have already set up for your pet. Please let me know what works best for your pet so it would be an easy transition when I get started!
“Dionne was excellent! She did the drop-ins on time. Made sure my kitties had enough food and water. Also made sure to clean their litter boxes very well. Always got pictures of them and updates on what they did while I was away. Definitely will hire her again next time I travel. Thanks Dionne!”

About: I grew up with pets and have a sweet Shihpoo of my own. I grew up with a border collie, 2 cats and a duck named Millie. I also used to sit for my friends dogs when they traveled before I got a dog of my own. I love animals and would love to walk and love yours. Since I have a Shihpoo of my own pet care for me is daily. She’s still a puppy, and I’ve been training her which I’m finding super rewarding. I walk my own pup 3-4 times a day. It was important that I got her house broken as quickly as possible. Now that she is 10 months she’s perfect at waiting to go outside to use the bathroom. My pup is very active and I understand pups that have a lot of energy on walks. I have my pup redirect her energy by bringing treats on our walks and having her perform several commands.
About: Ive always loved animals since I was a little girl. I had a dog when I was younger. She was a husky-samoyed mix; high energy and extremely loving! I currently have 2 cats - a British Shorthair and a Maine Coon! Any opportunity to spend more time with dogs or cats is a win! :) I have a remote job, so I have time before or after working hours, and even during the midday if you’re close to my location. Im protective with other peoples pets and am more than happy to make any accommodations that you feel would be necessary for a safe environment.
Bensonhurst pet parents share their Rover experiences
Onyekachi is amazing! She took the time to really get to know my dog and communicates frequently, which gives me so much peace of mind. My dog is a senior and will be staying alone for the first time ever, so I was naturally nervous. Thanks to Onyekachi’s thoughtful drop-in visits and attentive care, I feel confident that my dog will be safe, comfortable, and very well cared for.

Charlotte was fantastic: super reliable and responsible, and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure my dudes were well taken care of. Spent a lot of time with my cat Turnip, and seems to really understand and like cats - Turnip is super super shy and I expected her to hide under the bed all week, but by day 2, Turnip was coming right out for skritches and belly rubs. (The photos I got of them were fantastic, too!) I'm so grateful, and I very highly recommend Charlotte!

Jean is absolutely wonderful and my cat Murphy completely fell in love with her. She did such a good job taking amazing care of him, playing with him with his favorite toys, playing his favorite tv show, and just giving him lots of cuddles. I would highly recommend her!

Lena was great! She has visited us multiple times and has been wonderful with both of our cats. Tig can be shy and selective and he adores her. She also never skips Pumpkin’s little hallway strolls, which means a lot to us. We leave feeling at ease knowing they are in their hands. Thank you!

Paulina is so great with our cats! We love getting her updates and photos - they always makes us feel at ease while we are away. She is good at reading our cat's energies, whether they want cuddles, playtime, treats or space. We always come back to happy cats :D Thank you again, Paulina!

Lisseth is so wonderful and has taken such great care of our 3 cats! She is very responsive and gives great updates each day. The apartment and food bowls were kept so clean and her relationship with our kitties made us feel so at ease on vacation. We have booked with Lisseth multiple times and will definitely rebook!

Ellie did a phenomenal job taking care of my cat. I was a first-time Rover user, and she really helped me understand how our relationship would work through the app and she really walked me through Rover's protocols. Ellie is a patient, dutiful, and gentle pet sitter. My Junebug is a little skittish around strangers, but Ellie managed to coax her out of hiding after one visit! I also want to note that Ellie is super responsive and, despite the fact I traveled internationally while employing her services, I never one felt worried that I would lose touch. Needless to say, the next time I need a little kitty care, I'm contacting Ellie first. I would highly recommend her if you need a buddy for your fur baby.
