“Super responsive and reliable! Jordan was able to help me out with a last-minute request and handled everything perfectly. I really appreciated the quick communication and flexibility.”


About: In addition to raising my own dog, Noomi, a four-year old Samoyed, I have spent the past few summers dog and cat sitting. It’s one of the best jobs I’ve ever had, and my favorite part is taking my new friends out to explore! It’s a joy to see how curious and playful they can get. My schedule is incredibly flexible and I’m open to last minute calls! I’m doing pet-care full time for the summer. I aim to be as accommodating as possible to client’s busy schedules and changing plans. My goal is to make your pets as comfortable as possible, whether they are more social and friendly or a homebody, I’m willing to make adjustments according to their accustomed lifestyle and personality. I can take extra requests, from administering medicine to special dietary needs and trips to the dog park. Anything I can do to keep your pets happy and healthy can be considered!

“Erika was great! She responded quickly, and made sure that my cat had everything she needed while I was gone for a week. She was respectful and very communicative. Huge fan!”


“Melanie was great and I highly recommend. She was able to help me out on a last minute request the day of which is so appreciated. Also, my cat approves as he came out to say hi to her which he rarely does for anyone. Thanks again for your help.”


About: I’m currently in New York City for the summer and have over 25 years of experience living with dogs and cats, including more than 15 years of pet-sitting for others. I have cared for animals of all ages and understand their unique needs. While my own pets, Beau & Monty, are staying with my sister for the summer, I truly miss them both and would love the opportunity to care for your pets while I’m here. I am available at your convenience, both during the week and on weekends. I am flexible and happy to accommodate your schedule and your pets' specific needs to ensure they receive the best care possible. As I currently live in an apartment, I’m unable to have pets of my own. However, I would love the opportunity to care for your animals in the comfort of their own home. I’m committed to providing attentive, compassionate care and will send regular photo and video updates throughout the day to ensure you feel confident and connected while you're away.

“Cassandra was very responsive to all my requests. She was prompt to all visits. She gave my cats ample love and attention in my absence. I will definitely book her again!”

She kept their litter box clean and the apartment was spotless when I got home. She spent time playing with them and keeping them engaged. One of them needed a little extra care and she handled it no problem. She even sent me updates during the week which gave me peace of mind. When I got back, the cats were super happy and playful.

Chinatown pet parents share their Rover experiences
I was nervous, as always, about how my usually scared Pipoca would react. But Nicole, in some sort of cat whispering magic, made friends with Pipoca right away, and I was super excited (and shocked!) at how fast Pipoca trusted her. Absolutely magical! A great sitter, worried about Pipoca as if she was hers!

I used the drop-in service over a weekend and was very happy with the care provided. She was extremely attentive, detailed, and thoughtful in how she looked after my Pomeranian, Nimbus. Each check in included a clear, thorough report about how my Nimbus was doing, from cleaning up her space to refreshing water and food, to describing their walk and time together. I really appreciated the attention to detail and the genuine care she showed. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands while i was on my trip, especially with the thorough notes . I would absolutely recommend her !!

Vanessa went above and beyond taking care of my feisty senior cat! She is a true animal lover, with loads of patience and compassion for her charges. I received multiple photos and videos each visit, and she even came up with an effective technique to administer medication to my cat! She is kind, considerate, responsible, trustworthy and very thorough. I felt reassured knowing that Vanessa was dropping by while I was out of town. She also treated my apartment with care and consideration, disposing of cat waste before I returned! She is so thoughtful and kind. I’m looking forward to hiring her again in the future! 😺

My two cats immediately became friends with Yun Ki and were very happy to be taken care of by her. She’s thoughtful and communicative and her presence was very much appreciated. I have nothing but the highest praise and look forward to the next opportunity to work with her again ❤️
