“Great communication and lots of patience for my pup who is still adjusting to a new home. Follows directions and gives me confidence that my little one is in good hands while I’m away. Will continue to book Rosa in the future. Thanks!”

“Meaghan was so great! She left my place clean and my cat Louie happy after house sitting for me. She was very responsive to my messages and gave Louie lots of attention and care.”

“Chandra has been amazing watching our two cats over the weekend, she made sure they were clean well loved! Our one male cat who is not neutered yet has recently taken up yowling in the night which Chnadra happily accepted and was very sweet about!”

“Maria was an excellent sitter—extremely communicative, sent adorable pics of my pup and treated my home with the greatest respect. I will not hesitate to work with Maria again. Henry had the best time with her :)”

About: l have been a sitter on Rover for 2 years now and would be honored to help take care of your amazing pet(s)! I have two adorable dogs that I am forever grateful to have grown up with in my home town of Philadelphia, PA. It is because of them and my life-long love for animals that I have such vast experience with walking, feeding, and caring for multiple dogs at a time. Having also taken care of family friends’ pets, I have immense experience with a variety of dog breeds & personalities! I work between the hours of 11 AM - 3 PM Monday, Wednesday, & Thursday, and would absolutely love to care for your pet(s)! I work from home the rest of the time! It’s super important to me that you are in the loop while you’re away! I’ll be sure to send update pictures and/or videos of your furry friend throughout the stay.
“Isis is awesome! She was highly communicative, sent photos periodically, and was flexible when I had a last minute schedule change. My dog felt so comfortable with her and I will definitely book her again!”

“Tag was so kind and thoughtful with Gigi and with me. Lots of great photos and feedback. We were gone the whole day and Gigi relaxed, took walks and snuggled in comfortably in our absence. When we come back we will definitely book with her❣️”

“Karina was so communicative, responsible and loving to our dog while we were out of town for a week. Will definitely have her stay next time we are out of town!”

“Nagham was a total delight! Exceptionally professional, warm and caring with our dog, and left our home sparkling clean. She went above and beyond on communication, photos, detailed updates and even gave our dog a bath. I feel truly lucky to have found her. Very highly recommend her. Thanks Nagham!”

“Luana is truly exceptional! She completely alleviated my anxiety about dog-sitting on Rover (after my last experience), providing outstanding care for Biscotti. Her proactive communication was fantastic, and it was clear Biscotti was comfortable and happy, as he warmed to her right away. Beyond her excellent care, she also kept my apartment neat and tidy, and in a truly thoughtful gesture, even left me some delicious soup she had mentioned. I highly recommend Luana and look forward to booking with her again.”

“We've have Kimora stay with our pup a few times now and she's always great! We receive thoughtful updates (with pics) twice a day and this trip she was super helpful by staying later than planned when we had to pivot our travel plans due to a cancelled train.”

About: Hi there! My name is Ella and I'm a 29-year-old born and bred New Yorker who provides dog care in Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Heights, Prospect Heights, Downtown Brooklyn and Park Slope. I've been working consistently as a babysitter, dog walker and cat sitter for many years now. I have quite a bit of experience with senior dogs as well. Currently, my services are: daily walks, drop-in visits and house sitting in clients' homes. I am dedicated, attentive and responsible. My top priority is to ensure the happiness and wellbeing of all the dogs under my care. With me, your dog will always be in safe and loving hands. I offer affordable rates, a flexible schedule and guaranteed communication with pet owners. I look forward to meeting you and your fur-baby soon! I work as a babysitter on-and-off. When I'm not busy with babysitting, my schedule is extremely flexible and I have lots of time to take on various pet care gigs most days. As well as during holidays, school breaks and the summertime. When I am busy with a babysitting gig, I have less availability for pet care but I'll always update my Rover calendar in advance to reflect that. Regarding drop-in visits and house sitting gigs for both dogs and cats, I will always make sure their food/water bowls are replenished and litter boxes are cleaned thoroughly. I'll definitely spoil them with treats and give them lots of cuddles and playtime, too! Communication and safety are very important to me. Therefore, meet & greets with new clients and their pets at least a few days prior to booking are a must. I also never forget to text clients with daily updates and photos of their pets for full transparency and peace of mind.

“Rob has been a go-to sitter for my little neurotic Jack Russell / Shiba Inu mix for quite some time. He always treats her with love and care and when I return she's calmer than she would be if she was with other sitters. I highly recommend Rob! 😊”

“Evangelia was amazing with my Pittie Mauna. She took such good care of him while I was away and was so communicative the entire time. I absolutely loved getting all of the great photos and videos while I was gone. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly treats your pets like they are her own and will definitely be booking with her again!! Thank you so much I know Mauna will miss you!”

“Anj was wonderful. Super communicative and took great care of my dog. She left the apartment spotless and the doormen said she was very attentive. So grateful for her help!”


“Isabella is such a great pet sitter! She is a great communicator, flexible with scheduling when needed, and a true animal lover. Whenever she has watched my dogs I know they are in good hands.”

“Kristen took great care of our 18 month old labradoodle for 10 days. On our initial meeting, my wife and I loved his easy-going but responsible attitude and our girl took to him right away without any hesitation. A big bonus was Kristen's proximity to Prospect Park. We received lots of photos during her stay and Kristen was super fast replying to any questions we had. Kristen is definitely going to be our go-to sitter on our nights out and when we're out of town.”


“Bliss is fantastic, our dog Bowie is a bit anxious and high energy. Had no issues, such a pro. She sent regular updates and took great care of both Bowie and our home.”
