“Requested Avary the day before and was immediately reached out to, to confirm the booking and get familiar with our puppy. Avary proceeded to communicate ETA, sending pics on arrival and kept me up to date on the good potty moments and the bad. Will definitely be rebooking and recommend Avary without any hesitation to anyone who needs a sitter!”
“Lori was a truly fantastic cat sitter. She went above and beyond to make my cat feel happy, comfortable, and well-cared for while I was away. She played with her regularly and showered her with lots of affection, ensuring she was well-entertained and loved dearly. I can confidently say that I will always be able to rely on her in the future.”
“Alexandra is a rockstar, she takes great care of our chihuahua and is so communicative. She went above and beyond on her most recent stay to handle an emergency and we are so grateful for her.”
“Ashanti stepped up in a major way to take care of our 12 yr old dog after she got unexpectedly bitten by a dog the night before our trip! She was very communicative and worked with my sister to follow the vet’s recommendations, including administering medications, and helped nurse our pup back to health. She also did a great job caring for our cat and our home. Thank you, Ashanti!!”
“When it comes to caring for your pets, Christina is outstanding. She is incredibly respectful and communicative and skilled with animals. Christina, thank you for taking such amazing care of Arlo!”
“Dave was amazing! We would work with him again in a heartbeat. We had a tough situation where we needed to change our original Rover sitter (on an 11 day trip) within a couple hours of the original booking beginning. I reached out to Dave and he met our two dogs and was able to jump into the sit with less than 24 hours notice. From his communication and photos I was reassured every day that the dogs and home were in great hands.”
“We are so grateful for Rachelle! Our senior kitty recently said goodbye to her sister and Rachelle was so understanding and reassuring when we had to leave. She gave daily updates and clearly showed our Pockets care and affection. I would absolutely refer her to anyone with fur babies!”
“Kristen took great care of our 18 month old labradoodle for 10 days. On our initial meeting, my wife and I loved his easy-going but responsible attitude and our girl took to him right away without any hesitation. A big bonus was Kristen's proximity to Prospect Park. We received lots of photos during her stay and Kristen was super fast replying to any questions we had. Kristen is definitely going to be our go-to sitter on our nights out and when we're out of town.”
“Greg watched our two very needy yorkies in our home while we were away for a long weekend. He take wonderful care of them and have them lots of attention. He kept us in the loop with frequent updates and pictures which allowed us to really enjoy our trip knowing they were in such good hands :)”
“Thanks for everything! Super attentive to my pets needs, very professional and knowledgeable about animals, and have me many updates throughout the stay - will book again. Can’t recommend enough!”
“Lenford made me feel comfortable that Charlie was in good hands while I was away! He sent many pictures in which Charlie looked like he was having a blast. Lenford also worked with me when my flight was delayed until the middle of the night and stayed with Charlie until we were sure I would be getting home soon.”
“book ren if you can! she was super super amazing with my socially problematic dog who has a biting history. ren did a great job reading his body language and knowing when to give him attention and when to give him space. she followed all the instructions i left and i came home to a tired and happy dog.”
“Desiree is a thoughtful and conscientious sitter. She stayed over and cared for my older cat and emo dog. She sent regular updates which gave me confidence while I was gone. Five stars. Highly recommend.”
“Meaghan did a phenomenal job with in home sitting over a weekend away! She was very punctual, professional, and did a great job with communication and sending updates. Would be happy to have her watch our dog again!”
“I was nervous about leaving my dog for the day because of his separation anxiety, but Jada was amazing! She calmed him down and sent me updates throughout the day. She even stayed late when I was delayed getting home.”
“She was a wonderful dog and cat sitter. She took a great care of my dog and my cats, making sure they were happy, safe and cared for. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in a good hands. She was reliable attentive, and clearly loves animals. I would happily recommend her and would definitely book her again.”

Teddy was awesome. Stepped in last minute to save the day when my initial home sit plans fell through and worked around some existing obligations to make it happen. Draco had some special needs and doesn't always take to new people easily, but Teddy was up to the challenge. I got plentiful, cute (and poetic!) updates throughout, and my grumpy, senior, disabled pup seemed to be calm and comfortable the whole time. I came back to a clean home and happy pup - would happily hire Teddy again.
Erin took such great care of my pup Fernanda, even cooking her a special meal when she was having some tummy troubles! She communicated well and we appreciated the adorable pictures she sent of Fernanda while we were away and missing her! Would definitely recommend Erin!
Ariana was so kind to our sweet gal Meera who is a rescue dog. Meera has separation anxiety and sometimes trouble getting the courage to go outside. Ariana was very patient with her and gave her all the love. She was incredibly communicative with us and supportive through the process. We highly recommend her!
Rosalie is the best! I’m so happy we’re connected now, because I feel a lot better if/when I need to leave town. Rosalie was super communicative, caring, and an all around wonderful companion for my dog. My dog can be on the anxious side in various ways, and Rosalie was perfect in working with her. I got lots of updates so I felt really at ease while I was out of town. 10/10 Recommend!!
Narges is a wonderful sitter! She gave our sensitive girl lots of cuddles, attention, and TLC while we were away for a long weekend. She came to our place for a meet and greet and walk in advance, followed everything to the letter, and left our apartment in great shape. We came home to a happy dog and there’s nothing else we could ask for! Highly recommend!
Lori is so great at communication and really sweet. She came by before the sitting to meet our dog and then on the day she was able to hang out with our dog and also take her on an adventure, which tired her out in all the right ways. It was so lovely to know that our dog was looked after by such a kind, well-communicating person. We'll absolutely be working with her in the future
This was our first time using Rover and our first time leaving our 9-week-old puppy, North, with someone who wasn't family. We were definitely a little nervous, but Em made us feel completely comfortable and at ease. Taking care of a 9-week-old puppy is no small task, and Em did an amazing job with North. We received updates throughout the day and knew he was in great hands. We've already booked recurring days with Em and highly recommend them!
Rachelle was a great sitter for my two young cats! She responded quickly and kindly and came over briefly before I left for a trip to meet the cats and get to know them + the space. During her stay she was very communicative and sent many fun updates on how the cats were doing. Would definitely recommend Rachelle as a sitter!
Nagham has been so responsive and reliable, even before our scheduled sitting times. Roly is a fussy little thing but she was happy to see her and felt comfortable while she kept her company. I often say dog sitters need to deal with the owners temperament as much as the pup, and Nagham has relieved any of my concerns about leaving my dog (who is basically my child) with someone new. She has been patient with my Roly and I! I will definitely be booking her again.
