âEleni has been super responsive and even helped me figure out how to use the app! Sheâs patient, communicative, and has been so good with my dog Poppy. I look forward to working with her again!â

âJessie is extremely responsive and so easy to communicate with. I really appreciate the patience she has with me and Dale! It's very comforting to know Jessie is nearby and able to care for my Dale when I'm away.â

âNicola is exceptional with my baby girl Zorra! Z can be very potty shy, but she was comfortable with Nicola right away. Heâs been so helpful on days Iâm stuck at work. I canât thank him enough!â

âSiu-Lin was wonderful, and took great care of my dog, providing walks and feeding twice a day when I needed to duck out of town unexpectedly. She's very responsible, and my dog took to her immediately. I recommend her highly!â

âNelson was lovely. My dog Freya is young and does not know her own size so she can be a wild card on walks in terms of her engagement and pulling. Nelson handled her beautifully.â

âRachael is a gem! As a college student building her business, she brings so much energy and professionalism to the job. I was nervous about my dogsâ leash reactivity, but Rachaelâs background with her own large dogs made her a perfect match. She was punctual, flexible, and provided the kind of detailed communication that every dog parent loves. Weâve already planned to hire her again. Don't hesitate to book her!â

âValeriia helped me out at the last minute and did an amazing job with my pup! I appreciated the details and photos she provided. I will definitely ask her to help in the future!â

About: Iâve been caring for dogs since I was young and have 3+ years of hands-on experience supporting friends, neighbors, and family with daily walks, feedings, and overnight stays.

About: I'm a passionate pet lover with a special place in my heart for both cats and dogs. I believe that pets are not just animals but cherished members of our families. As a pet parent myself, I understand the unique needs and unconditional love our furry friends provide. Currently, I have a 5 year-old cat with special eye and health conditions, so I'm experienced in providing extra attention, patience, and care to pets with unique requirements. I know the importance of maintaining their comfort and well-being. Growing up, I had the privilege of having a lifelong family dog, whom I lovingly walked and cared for throughout his life. This experience instilled in me a deep understanding of the joys and responsibilities that come with being a pet owner. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to their happiness and safety. I take pride in offering services that cater to the individual needs of your beloved pets, whether it's training puppies, providing senior care, or simply giving them the affection and attention they deserve. My availability is super open, I work part time as of right now so I can stay overnight if needed. Morning or night I can be there! In my home, your pets will be treated like part of the family. With a dog park conveniently located nearby, your dog will have the opportunity to enjoy outdoor exercise, playtime, and socialization with other friendly pups. Regular walks and play sessions will keep them active and happy. For feline friends, I have a cozy cat tree at my home, providing a perfect perch for your cat to observe the world or simply relax in comfort. Whether your pet enjoys some outdoor fun or prefers a quiet, sunny spot indoors, their needs and preferences will be accommodated. When caring for pets in your home, I bring the same dedication and love for animals. I understand that pets thrive in familiar surroundings, so I prioritize maintaining their routines and minimizing stress during your absence. I'll ensure your dog gets their regular exercise, playtime, and potty breaks according to their usual schedule. For cats, I'll provide the attention and affection they need, whether it's playtime, cuddles, or simply ensuring they have a clean litter box and fresh water. My goal is to provide your pets with a safe and comfortable environment, whether it's in my home or yours, while keeping their happiness and well-being at the forefront of my care.
âStephanie is fantastic! Our dog can be stubborn and Stephanie is persistent in trying to get her to walk. Our dog is so excited to see her each time. Stephanie is always responsive and flexible if the schedule changes!â

Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
I am grateful to Rosanna for being available for a last minute walk but I was really disappointed that she chose to walk Noodles around a few city blocks instead of the park (we live 1/2 block from Central Park). Otherwise all was great - quick response, good communication.

I am very picky about who walks my dog, in fact maybe a little TOO picky .. Natalie was fantastic to work with and bunny liked her right away, i can always tell who she likes bc she will either cooperate or not cooperate ⌠we will definitely be using her again and i recommend her to anyone else looking for a reliable dog walker
