Peter was very understanding and attentive to our dog’s personality and highly communicative with us. He followed all the specific care requests we shared perfectly. Our dog and home were so well cared for during the dog / house sitting stay. We would highly recommend Peter as a dog / house sitter.

Eric did a house / dog sit at my home for about a week. He was an excellent communicator and gave me great updates on how my pup, Lucy, was doing. The house was in great shape when I returned and Lucy was clearly happy and well taken care of. Would highly recommend Eric for any rover needs. Thanks!

Ellie did a fantastic job caring for our dog while we were out for the evening. She sent updates on how he was doing throughout the night to keep our minds at ease, and she was extremely understanding and patient when he had an accident before we left. We highly recommend Ellie to anyone looking for a pet sitter in the area!

Sierra stayed at my apartment in the BX to watch my 45lb rescue pittie for three weeks in May, and I highly recommend her! She was responsive and so generous coming all the way from NJ to meet my pup and me first and incredibly responsive before the day of. Every day she sent me text and/photo updates, and it was super clear my pup was very well cared for and loved. Coming back, pup was happy and healthy and the apartment was clean as I left it (thanks, Sierra!).

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and currently care for two dogs and a cat of my own. Spending time with animals has always come naturally to me & I treat them with patience, attention, and respect, just like family. I also enjoy sending photo updates during visits so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away. I’m currently working from home and have a flexible schedule throughout the week. I currently offer drop-in visits and in-home sitting, and I’m happy to provide dependable care for your pets while you’re away. I care for pets in my client’s home with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own pets. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. At this time, I provide care in clients’ homes only. Comfortable with different energy levels, routines, and administering basic medications if needed.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10 when I got my dog. I joined Rover 3 years ago and have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for various types of dogs. I care for every dog as if they're my own! I just got home from college and am looking to make some money as I take a remote class this summer. That being said, my schedule is pretty open and flexible! I am very respectful of other's spaces and make sure to follow instructions carefully. I pay attention to detail and am a high energy individual. I truly love dogs so much and am happy to help take care of them when owners' lives get busy.

About: I am an experienced dog and cat sitter for friends that love to travel. I am very fond of small toy dogs - they love me and I love them. Belly rubs and neck rubs are my specialty. I am reliable, mature and responsible and will care for your doggie or cat like it's my fur baby. There is a dog that I have been caring for over 8 years goes happily crazy when she sees me and jumps into her carrying case when I go visit her. The owner always ask me what do I do- that he doesn't do that she's so happy and excited to see me. My answer is does soothing neck and belly rubs and the long walks. I have a very flexible schedule and have open availability every day to accommodate most clients. My days consist of going to gym and running errands. Available for long term assignments I will make my clients my 1st priority. Recently, I was hired to care for a British Short Hair Cat for 2 weeks and made sure to send pictures of their fur baby daily so they can see how happy he was. I like to keep my clients updated with photos for their peace of mind.

About: I've been caring for dogs for several years and currently have two of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I'm patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog's individual needs. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention while you're away! I work Monday through Friday from 7:30am-3:30pm, but I'm available for check-ins, walks, and care after work on weekdays. I'm fully available on weekends for boarding, visits, walks, and extended care. I always make sure pets recieve plenty of attention, exercise, and routine consistency. I primarily provide care in my client's home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication, instructions, and daily routines to minimize stress. I'm respectful of your home, keep spaces clean, and prioritize your pet's safety and comfort at all times. You can expect regular updates and communication while you're away.

Danielle was just amazing! She was house sitting for us and took wonderful care of our 13-year-old dog and 2-year-old cat, giving them lots of love and attention while we were away. She kept us updated regularly, which allowed us to enjoy a worry-free vacation. I would definitely ask for her help on our next trip. Highly recommended!

About: I am a 23 year-old dogsitter and dogwalker that has been working with dogs for a third of my life (8 years). I was always surrounded by dogs growing up and would love to keep it that way :) I walk Figo every day - Labradoodle pictured in my photos :) And dogsit Jesse - Boston Terrier occasionally on weekends. Dogsitting and catsitting is extremely mixed into my schedule and I am always looking for more opportunities! When dogsitting, I am always hanging out with the dog. I walk them a little extra sometimes. And will play with them as much as their heart desires :)

Theo did an excellent job taking care of our cats. We booked him to house sit our two cats while we were away for nine days. He followed all of our instructions, and we came home to happy cats. He has a deep understanding of cat psychology, and he spent a ton of time interacting with our cats. We really appreciate him going above and beyond and will be booking him again!

Cheryl was fantastic with communication and care for my two doodles. We asked for overnight stays since the second doodle is still a puppy and not yet potty trained. I loved the photo and video updates. Cheryl was very communicative and asked great questions. Looking forward to reaching out to her again for future trips.

I don’t think we could have possibly found a better sitter than Melissa. Our pup can be extremely shy, but Melissa worked with her through her stay and was eventually able to win her over. She was very communicative the entire time we were gone and gave us great piece of mind. Melissa definitely goes above and beyond, and we’re very grateful to have found her.

Hiring Danielle to house sit our dog was definitely the right decision for my family. She is warm, responsible, attentive and reliable! She was great at keeping us up to date with what was going on with our fur baby and would respond promptly when a message was sent to her. When we got home our house was in great condition and our dog was thriving! She even left a show about birds on for him until we got home! 100/10 would definitely recommend and will be using her again!
