Tracy was everything we could have hoped for in a pet sitter! We were gone for ~5 days and asked her to come check on our cat Columbo twice a day. This was our first time using Rover and it could not have gone any better because of her. She made sure we had plenty of pics and videos while we were away, was great about providing updates on how he was doing, and quick to respond if we had any questions/requests. She gave Columbo lots of love when she came to visit, along with his meals (always perfectly-arranged) and cleaning his box. We also did a meet and greet before we left which really helped Columbo feel more comfortable. She asked so many questions during the meet and greet so I could tell Columbo would be in great hands while we were away. This was 100% worth it, and we will definitely be reaching back out to Tracy the next time we need a pet sitter. 1000/10

I had asked Birger to visit and feed my cat for a few days and he was amazing! Communicative, friendly, and of course great with my cat. I will definitely be reaching out to him next time I’m out of town. 11/10, cannot recommend him enough!

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have over 10 years of experience caring for pups of all sizes- starting with my own two golden retrievers. I’m a big guy who can keep up with the strongest leash-pullers, but I’m really just a softie who loves belly rubs and tail wags. Whether it’s a walk, game of fetch, or just some good company, your dog will be in caring and capable hands. I’m currently working part-time with flexible hours, so I’m readily available to drop in or take your dog(s) on a walk! I walk around Manhattan frequently so I’m quite active and familiar with the area. At a client’s home, I will take the utmost care to make sure your dog is comfortable and that the house is orderly. Outside the home, on a walk, my number one priority is the safety of your dog; I am also aware of all neighborhood and park rules to ensure that I’m being a responsible dog walker and member of the community.

We hadn't used Rover or had a long-term cat sitter before, and we didn't know what to expect - Rosanna went above and beyond anything we could have hoped for! From the start, we felt confident our two cats were in the best of care, and her updates made it clear our cats were thriving with her. We missed them so much while we were away but knew we did not need to worry about a thing. We cannot recommend Rosanna enough!

Joyce was AMAZING! We were out of town for a week and she followed the instructions we left and was great at communicating how they were doing. One of my cats is quite nervous and seemed to warm right up to her, was such a relief knowing my cats were being well cared for while I was away. Will be my go to sitter in the future!

About: I grew up with a Chihuahua, a Pomeranian, and a Doberman, so I am very experienced in taking care of dogs of all breeds! My current schedule is flexible and I'm often available during work hours. I'm also able to administer oral and injection medication for all sizes and breeds. Whatever you and your pet need, I'm here for you! Pet care is my primary focus. I structure my day around my clients' routines, so that I am available for mid-day potty breaks, morning feedings, and evening cuddles. Since I work with a flexible schedule, your pet won't be left alone for extended periods. Safety is my top priority. In your home, I maintain your existing security protocols and keep a tidy space. I perform nose to tail wellness checks daily to monitor for changes in appetite or energy. I am always reachable and provide frequent photo updates so you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing!

Monica is the best! She went above and beyond taking care of Meera, spending extra time and care with her. Meera can be difficult/reactive, and there is no one i trust more than Monica to walk her because she’s so attentive. Will absolutely be asking her to take care of our dog again.

Leta’s my go-to sitter. She had instant rapport with my 2 cats, one of which has nothing to do with strangers. She’s not only a cat whisperer, but she’s great with humans. Warm, friendly, smart, she’s a clear and prompt communicator. She’s reliable and able to improvise if the situation demands it. I highly recommend her.

Maria is very attentive with our cats. She gave many updates in real time and problem solved with us. One of our cats is quite finicky but she did her best to care for them and ensure they were eating enough and safe. Would recommend Maria to any cat parent who needs someone to care for their cats!

Tatyana helped us feel so comfortable and confident while we were traveling. She sent so many photos of both of our kitties and played with them, while also knowing exactly how to read their cues (one is playful, the other is more anxious and distant). We are so grateful and will definitely ask her to watch them again!!!!

Christine did a great job with my cat Miranda and with me! I was pretty nervous to leave Miranda for a work trip at our new place for the first time- but contacted Christine for a meet and greet and Miranda came out to say hi immediately- that alone was pretty impressive Miranda is a shy cat During the week I got lots of pictures and knowing my cat and her behavior, from Christine’s summaries I can tell she was very comfortable and getting attention and the special food treatment I asked to be given. I highly recommend this sitter, Thank you 🙏 Christine!!

Our cat loves having Elizabeth kitty-sit! She’s our go-to because she always takes wonderful care of our cat and makes her feel loved while we’re away. Elizabeth is also fantastic with our cat’s medication needs - super reassuring as a pet-parent to know your pet is healthy, well cared for, and loved while you’re away.

Vasil was great! I booked super last minute and he was able to make it over to our place on very short notice and help with our dog! Our dog is 85 lbs and Vasil was very calm even though our boy is quite strong and not the best on the leash. If you have a big dog, definitely recommend Vasil, he’s VERY TALL!!! Definitely helps!
