“Tracy watched our pup Winnie for an evening out, and she had a wonderful time! We knew Winnie was in great hands—Tracy sent adorable pictures of her playing with Nookie, and when we picked her up she was so happy and tired! Overall we had a great first experience using Rover and would highly recommend Tracy in a heartbeat!”
“Couldn't ask for a better sitter! My dog can be nervous in new places and around new people, but Eleanor made him feel right at home and accommodated for his health issues as well. She was also incredibly flexible and understanding when it came to drop off and pick up times. Just a wonderful experience.”
“Chili’s second stay with Sonia was successful! She was nervous the first time since she’s more of a socially anxious dog but the second time she seemed to ease in a bit more. Sonia sent many videos throughout the day as always!”
“Camila did a great job looking after my precious fur baby. She was excellent with communication, sent photos and updates, and was kind, courteous. Highly recommend!”
“Sungmin was great! She was very friendly, flexible and a huge help to me and my puppy. After one week of daycare, my puppy picked up a few new tricks and learned how to properly walk on the leash. Sungmin sent me pictures and videos during the day so that I could see what a good time my puppy was having.”
“Mariah responded to our last minute request to watch Cali so fast, and we’re so grateful! Cali gets separation anxiety, but she was surprisingly fine with Mariah at drop off. Must’ve been Mariah’s chill vibe lol. At pickup, she didn’t even mention that Cali had a big accident in her kitchen (just #1, thank goodness) until I asked!! I felt so bad, but Mariah was so sweet and understanding about it. We’re definitely going to reach out to her again when we need someone to take care of our Cali!”
“Carla is a professional and super good with dogs. She sent us pictures throughout Ellie’s stay and we were very comfortable. Will definitely use her again!”
About: Whether you require regular daytime walks, occasional drop-in visits, or overnight sitting, you can count on me to treat your pet like a precious, irreplaceable gem! I’m the pawrent of a Pekingese dog, two Exotic Shorthair cats, and a Persian cat. I am also a foster meowmie for other kitties. I have experience with senior and special-needs pets, including as a volunteer dog walker for PAWS NY, an organization that helps people in need keep their pets in their lives. I will send you lots of photos and videos so you can be fully informed about the well-being of your pet/s. I am self-employed as a designer and writer and quite flexible time-wise. In addition to dogs and cats, I’m also happy to care for bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, birds, and other exotic pets. I’ve read some horror stories about overnight sitters, as I’m sure you have. If I am house-sitting for you, I will be staying overnight in your home, so your pet will be in its usual environment. If you choose daycare or boarding with me, I will be staying overnight with your pet in a secure, cozy apartment with a fenced-in backyard (my own dog and cats won’t be present). I don’t walk dogs off leash and I don’t open windows for the safety of small dogs and cats. If your animal has any symptoms of illness, you’ll be advised immediately. If it’s hot out, I will ask that we run the A/C for the health of your pet. The well-being of your pet is as important to me as the well-being of my own pets.
“Matthew was a dream sitter. We contacted him on short notice and he did a great job with our gal, Otter, who has significant separation anxiety. Matthew was extremely responsive - we never had to wait more than a few minutes for a response, sometimes even less. And he was extremely flexible as our schedule shifted from day to day. We will definitely be reaching out to Matthew again in the future.”
“Laura and her partner took great care of my very active lab. She provided updates and took him on multiple walks throughout the day. He came home happy and tired. Would not hesitate to use her services again!”

“Adam was fantastic with our little rescue dog. Our puppy is very skittish and scared of new people, and Adam was so warm, kind, and patient with him. We were appreciative that Adam was so flexible on the timing and that he was so comfortable taking on our difficult pup. Thanks for a great doggy daycare experience!”

Wendy B.Star Sitter
“If you are looking for the best dog walker in NYC, you've found her! I have known Wendy for 15 years, and I have watched her care for her own pets with complete devotion. You can never be fully prepared for what might be in store with any animal, especially a rescue, but Wendy faces all challenges head on and is an absolute champion for her beloved dogs and cats. Her heart is so huge, and her desire to help is so great, that she has recently become a foster to several cats. Wendy is currently a volunteer dog walker for, PAWS NY, an organization who provides pet assistance for older adults, individuals living with illness or disability, and the under-resourced. You really couldn't ask for a better person to look after, provide companionship, and walk your dog! I highly, highly recommend Wendy.”

Jenna O.
“Jenna is the best! She has been a great help after I had to suddenly adopt my moms 9 year old pups. They have never been in NYC before, but she’s helped them with adapting to walking on busy sidewalks. Additionally, she did a day care for me and I was able to enjoy my day outside of the city knowing they were in good hands. As I said to my best friend, this is one of the few people I would trust not only with my babies, but also my deadbolt key!”

Central Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Miki and Sid have been a match made in heaven for my little Penny. Miki’s service is a 8/5 stars - she truly cares about giving your pup the best of time, communicates and send pics/videos throughout the day, and truly pays attention to your dogs behavior. We’re so lucky to have found her and I can’t thank her enough for being so attentive, communicative, and lovable to Penny like she’s her own.
Carla was great with Sasha for our “test run” daycare before she watches Sasha while I’m out of town for a couple weeks. She sent lots of photos and updates throughout the day, and Sasha seemed to settle in right away. I always get very nervous looking for someone to watch Sasha, and I feel comforted that she will be well taken care of when I am out of town next!
Christine has a super positive energy and seems to truly love dogs. She really focused on making our anxious dog comfortable during the meet and greet and it only took a few minutes before he was giving him her belly to rub. During the stay she sent lots of pictures and kept me updated and seemed totally unbothered when he was stubborn on their walk!
Lily had a wonderful time at Lori’s daycare! She played with other dogs and came home happy and tired. Lori is warm, knowledgeable, and has a great way with dogs. She took the time to meet with us beforehand, answered all my questions, and made me feel completely at ease. Her backyard is a big bonus. I’m looking forward to bringing Lily back for more daycare visits in the future!
I had a wonderful experience with Samantha! My dog Ollie is usually quite anxious around new people, but he took to her almost immediately, which says a lot. It was clear he felt comfortable and well cared for. Samantha was also incredibly communicative throughout his stay, keeping me updated with messages, which I really appreciated. Ollie had a lovely time and came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend!
