“Molly was incredibly proactive, warm, and communicative in taking care of our Hecate and Loki, being willing to meet them first because Hecate's a scaredy cat and so we wanted her to be comfortable with them, giving thorough and consistent updates, and made them feel relaxed while we were away! So lucky to have met Molly and Hecate and Loki look forward to future visits!”

About: I absolutely love dogs so much. I’ve grown up with a dog and she is my world. I’ve also dogsat many dogs and this is genuinely one of my favorite activities. I could play with, walk, snuggle dogs all day long and this would be my perfect day! I’ve trained my dog when she was a puppy perfectly, she knows 15+ tricks and is potty trained. Now, she is a senior dog so I have had the experience of taking care of a puppy to a senior dog. She currently lives with my parents, so I am constantly searching to take care and play with a dog right now! I will provide your dog with so much love and attention I 100% guarantee it. I just learned about this app and couldn’t have signed up quicker! I am available on the weekends (Friday-Sunday) to take care of your dog! Mornings and afternoons on Fridays and Saturdays are preferred, and Sundays all day is good! I live in a high rise, doorman apartment. I’m very close to the west side highway so can easily bring your dog on a nice, beautiful walk or even just the streets of my neighborhood (which is always filled with other friendly dogs!) In my apartment, your dog will be free to roam my apartment and snuggle with me!
“Tom was always punctual and took care of our diabetic kitty so well — it’s hard to find folks comfortable administrating insulin injections to unfamiliar pets, so Tom was a great sitter in that regard.”
About: Hello! My name is Eden and I have loved pets ever since I was small. I used to devour books about raising dogs, dog breeds, etc. I have a graduate degree in ecology and natural resources with a focus on wildlife. I would love to meet your furry friends :) I am able to walk/feed/cleanup after your dog, feed/cleanup after your cat, and help out while you're away; whether that's staying at your home or bringing your pet back to mine. I would also love to watch after any nontraditional pets too, be it hamsters, snakes, rats, tarantulas, whichever! I love all animals 😀 Please contact me if you have any questions or let me know if there is anything special you might need. I look forward to meeting you! I work a dayjob and would prefer my Rover work to be mainly on the weekend. I can adjust my schedule a bit so feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions! I would be home when your pet is with me. We could go out for walks and I could take them to a park (on leash). I have also visited client's homes to petsit, or even stay over at their houses with their pets if requested.
“Emilee always takes great care of my kitty!”
“Seriously fantastic sitter. Our cat was already accepting belly rubs by like day three (and as we know cats are infallible judges of character).”
“Ryan is the best! We have a dog that is reactive towards other dogs and it can be difficult to find a sitter that’s comfortable managing him. Ryan wasn’t scared off by this at all. He also sent a ton of updates and photos of our pup throughout all his visits. We’re so happy we found him and will definitely be asking him to watch our dog again in the future!”
“Marnie was so amazing with Binx and Penelope. When I came home they were not missing any love! Thank you so much, Marnie, for everything. Made my trip so much better knowing they were in good hands.”
About: Hi, I’m Vero! Dogs have been part of my life since I was five, and I genuinely can’t imagine a world without them. My heart (and camera roll) still belongs to Pancha, my black schnauzer and forever sidekick, who’s currently living her best life back home in Madrid with my family. We were the ultimate walking duo—she even had a model pose down to an art! Since moving to NYC, I’ve filled that dog-shaped space in my life by caring for friends’ pups and spending weekends at dog-filled family homes. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just cozy company, I bring genuine love and care to every furry friend I meet. Can’t wait to meet yours! I currently work as a freelancer, so I have a super flexible schedule and can easily fit in long walks, drop-ins, or full-day care. Whether it’s a quick visit or a full-on doggy hangout, I’m happy to make it work! I’m available any day of the week—just give me a little heads-up so I can plan accordingly. I always take time to understand each dog’s personality and needs—whether they’re friendly with others, have food preferences, or any special quirks. I live in Chelsea in a cozy apartment, so we'd hang there for rest, food, or a lunch break—but most of the time, I’ll make sure your pup is out and about enjoying a real field day! I’ll also keep you posted with updates and pics, so it feels like you're right there with us.

Veronica Q.
“Vero took care of my dog Brooklyn while I was out of town for a long weekend, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Brooklyn is usually shy around new people, but he warmed up to her so quickly, it was honestly surprising! Veronica kept me updated the whole time and made sure he stuck to his routine. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She’s responsible, loving, and clearly has a natural way with animals.”
