“Lea has become my go-to person when it comes to Goose. She is always quick to reply, I adore the updates when Goose & Lea go on adventures. Would HIGHLY recommend”

About: I grew up in a neighborhood with many dogs and regularly helped by walking and caring for their pets. I also spend a lot of time caring for and walking my family’s dog, which has made me comfortable working with animas of different personalities and energy levels. I am dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I am a teacher who is currently off for the summer and able to walk/care for pets anytime during the week. My schedule is flexible and able to change as needed. I am comfortable caring for your pet in your home, whether that be playing, feeding, or just sitting with them. I am able to crate your animal if necessary after services and can provide pictures as well as updates as to how the walk/visit went.
About: I’ve had English Springer Spaniels my entire life, so being around dogs has always been second nature to me. Growing up with energetic, affectionate dogs taught me how important exercise, attention, patience, and play are for keeping dogs happy and healthy I currently work at a marina during weekdays but work at my own schedule. I am happy to drop everything and anything I need in order to take care of your pup. I provide attentive, reliable in-home pet care to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their own environment. I follow your pet’s normal routine closely including walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention while treating your home and pets with the same care and respect I would my own
“Brittany was absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Toast! She arrived promptly to feed him lunch, take him on a walk/potty break, and play with him while we were out. She sent several pictures during the drop-in and we could tell how much fun our puppy had with her :) 10/10!!”

“Mackenzie has always watched our feisty, 7 yr old cat & she was very quickly able to warm up to our new, little Daisy! She watched the girls through the holidays & it was obvious from the photos how much they love her!”

“Ethan is awesome! My dogs are always well taken care of and sends me pictures of them all tired out from playing/running. He’s also on time for the times you need him to come”

“Marvin was very attentive in our preview visit to know exactly what to do to take care of Bubbys. During the visit, he kept me informed and it was comforting to know he was doing everything to make sure Bubbys would be taken care of while I was gone.”

About: Hi, I am Vivi and love dogs thanks to my beautiful Cocker Spaniel Nero who filled our family home with joy for twelve years! I look forward to meeting and taking care of your pets. I have boarded dozens of beautiful dogs - big and small, for over three years now. I really enjoy it and so do the dogs! My partner and I will be with your dog throughout the day and they will get all the attention they need. We ensure to cater to each dog's individual needs during their stay. I'll also be sending multiple pictures every day so you can see how your loved one is doing :) I typically only host one dog at a time so that they are most comfortable. I also love cats, I’ve had the chance to babysit family and friend cats successfully. There will always be someone at home with your pet, either me or my partner. We are very active and will happily take your dog on longer walks in the middle of the day, morning or night, based on their preferences. I am very cognizant of each individual dog's personality and make sure to understand their interests and triggers when they arrive for boarding. With that, I ensure that your dog gets the appropriate exposure to other dogs and people. Needless to say, I make sure the leash and harness are properly secured before heading out on walks and are careful when approaching other dogs and people.

Available anytime after 2 -8pm “I make sure every pet is in a safe and stress-free environment. I keep a close eye on them, give them lots of attention, and follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I treat every dog like my own and always put their safety first.
“Morgan is great! She first came by my house so that I can get to know her and right away I felt she was the right person to check in on my little guy while I was away for work. She is easy to work with and quick with communication. She took photos and videos during her appointments with my cat and kept me in the loop on anything necessary. I hope to keep working with her as I go on work trips. Thanks again!”

“Kristen is by far the best sitter we have ever had for our cats. A total cat girl and you can she actually loves our cats. She is overly thorough and has a lot of pride in her services and it shows. We are so grateful for her flexibility and willingness to step in when we are away.”

“Tyler was on point with communication and photos. He's friendly, prompt and trustworthy, and pays attention to detail. I very much appreciate his help, and will be booking him again for sure.”

About: I had dogs growing up and have had cats as an adult. I currently sit casually for friends and family. I also have a beautiful cat, Benvolio. I currently have open availability. I live in West Palm Beach and am excited to to walk dogs, feed/play with cats, and do anything to make sure you and your pet feel happy and secure! I am an empath and am very good at understanding animals. For this reason, they tend to be very drawn to me. I always put the pet’s needs first and make sure they are happy.
“Andres was an amazing cat sitter! He followed all instructions carefully and treated my cat with great care. I truly appreciated how reliable and attentive he was throughout the visit. I’m especially grateful he was available last minute when I needed to be away, and I would absolutely book him again! Thank you!💖”

“I highly recommend Aimee! As someone who worries about leaving my pets, I was incredibly comfortable knowing Duchess and Cosmo were in her care. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about their well-being. I came home to two happy pets and complete peace of mind. Finding someone you can truly trust with your animals is rare, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”

About: I will walk your dog and give him or her my 100% attention. I don’t walk your dog while talking on my cellphone which I see most dog walkers doing on the Upper East Side. Your precious baby gets my undivided attention as we’re on our walk so they don’t eat anything laying on the street that might make them sick. I also gently wipe your dog’s paws so they don’t track dirt into your apartment. I will treat and love your precious doggie as if he or she were my own. I’m available for short or long walks during the morning, early afternoon and sometimes early evening if needed.I’m also available to board your dog in my apartment overnight for one or more nights.
Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Samantha is wonderful! She’s incredibly thoughtful and thorough, and she truly goes above and beyond. She helped us feel safe about our cat being home alone, and she helped our cat feel loved while we were away. Thank you so much!!! Will 100% book again next time we need care.

Jorden has taken care of my dog and cat many times now for various weekend trips and my longest two week vacation. She has always been readily available and great with the animals. My dog is a big German shepherd and she handles him with ease and even does his eye drops twice daily. Jorden is very reliable and will always be my go-to sitter.

Alexa is amazing!!! She not only came to rescue when we needed last minute help but went above and beyond to take care of my cats. I really appreciate her communication, photos and that she even cleaned up when it wasn’t asked of her! Will definitely have Alexa help watch my little angels again asap!

Leah is so great with my puppy and two other furry siblings. She’s quick to respond and communicates very well when she’s arriving and leaving. She’s a tremendous help with my pets and they love spending time with her. I HIGHLY recommend Leah and would give her more stars if I could especially now that she’s hired for weekly visits!
Andres was an amazing cat sitter! He followed all instructions carefully and treated my cat with great care. I truly appreciated how reliable and attentive he was throughout the visit. I’m especially grateful he was available last minute when I needed to be away, and I would absolutely book him again! Thank you!💖

Evan was awesome with my two cats. They loved him and appreciated his playing. Evan provided extremely thorough and detailed updates to me in each of his visits and asked any clarifying questions he needed to. I would highly recommend Evan to anyone looking for a sitter in the area.
