“Working with Shay is a pleasure and allowed us to feel perfectly comfortable entrusting our cat Siren to her care. She took time to meet us beforehand and to ensure that she knew all of the necessary details. She spent time with Siren and sent us pictures and updates. Shay is responsive and caring. We highly recommend her and will definitely request to work with her again.”

“Andy was great with my spicy Calico and even got her to take treats from him, which is no small feat. He was prompt with the reports and took lots of photos, and was very helpful in the emergency I was dealing with. Absolutely would book him again.”

“Had a great experience with Lucy minding my duo. On time, sent good updates, took care of everything I described, and clearly gave my cats sweet attention. Will definitely consider for my next trip.”

“Angel went above and beyond in her care for our pets. One of our Guinea Pigs was actually pregnant and gave birth while we were away- none of us expected or had experienced this before- and Angel herself works mostly with cats and dogs but she handled it like a pro! She took such great care of all of the babies and sent us pictures and videos every day as requested, which was so fun for my kids because they wanted to be there. She bought more veggies for them as needed and kept their cages very clean. I will definitely be using Angel again in the future and I highly recommend her!”

“Celine took wonderful care of my senior cat and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She was attentive, kind, and sent the sweetest daily photos and updates. I’m truly grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter 🫶🏼”

“Tracy took care of my rabbits when my family was having an emergeny and I couldnt have asked for someone more perfect for the job to look after them while we were away even without meeting us last minute. She had no problems with getting access to our home and kept in touch througout the whole visit reassuring me and my gf that our pets are in good hands. Highly recommend 👌”


“Jennifer was on time, great with the doggies and very communicative. Kept us informed of the status and provided pics of the doggies. We couldn’t of asked for more. Thank you”
“Amy did a lovely job. She was responsive, friendly, consistent, sent photos and details every day, and took time to play with our lonely, playful kitty. The other one hid, but that's what we expected. I felt like I could relax and trust our fur babies were being looked after -- would definitely book Amy again.”

“Sam as always was great doing a double check-in Margaux! Great at getting her to walk keeping her happy and giving her dinner. Always my go to in my neighborhood and I highly recommend!”

“Ismail was able to watch Onion with a few days notice. he provided so many photos and video and made sure our Onion was entertained. we will always recommend Ismail for any cat drop in needs!”


About: Hi besties! 🐾 :D Thank you for giving me a chance! 😊 I know it can feel like a lot to trust someone with your fur baby—but given the opportunity, I promise to treat them with all the love, care, and attention they deserve! 💖 A little about me—I feed the neighborhood cats and I'm a foster parent with the ASPCA, so caring for animals is truly at the heart of what I do. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, and I'll be fully present and doting while you're away. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands! 🐾 I'm so excited to care and meet you and your cute baby (long-term or short-term, whichever suits you)! Whether you have a cat, a dog, or both, my goal is simple: to make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely cared for while you're away. 💗 I've been a cat owner for almost 10 years—my sweet baby is literally the love of my life, and I know just how special that bond is. I follow him everywhere, and my favorite thing is snuggling together as we fall asleep. I understand the trust you're placing on me, and I don't take that lightly. From playtime and snuggles to keeping their routine consistent, I'll treat your cat like the royalty they are. 💕 I love dogs too! I've walked dogs before and genuinely enjoyed every moment with them. While I'm still building my experience with dogs, I'm attentive, caring, and will follow your instructions because no one knows your baby better than you. Whether it's sticking to their routine, practicing commands, or just making sure they get all the love and exercise they need—I've got your dog and yours back! 💛 If you have any requests, you can always message me! I'd love to help and make accommodations. ✨ I'm also a licensed esthetician specializing in waxing, and like so many others right now, I'm navigating a tough job market. Cat and dog care is such a joyful way to connect with precious babies (and meet awesome people like you!) while I work toward opening my own business. So if you're looking for someone to love on your baby, booking with me means you're also supporting a local small business owner chasing her dream. So if you can support me along the way, that would just be purrfect! 💖 :D If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and who will genuinely adore your baby, I'd be so honored to meet you both. Let's link! :D I'm available pretty much anytime since I'm currently looking for work as a licensed waxer. So if you ever need a wax too—I'm here! :D I have the sweetest little cat at home and we're literally attached at the hip—I follow him around everywhere and we spend all our time cuddling, watching TV, and just being together. I can't function without him fr so he's always by my side lol. I love dogs too and have walked them before—I'm still learning but I'm super caring and will treat your baby with just as much love. I know pets need their space sometimes, so I'm good at reading (especially cats) their mood—whether they wanna play, cuddle, or just have me sit nearby and exist with them. I'll bring that same energy and care to your baby too! ✨
“My dogs became aggressive with each other Not Julie our awesome Rover person. After they separated she took all the proper measures and best practices - I was on a cruise - so I was unreachable -she called my emergency contact - she took one of the dogs to the Veterinary hospital to ensure all was well. - she kept in constant contact with my emergency contact a Nurse for over 10 years. - she called the next morning to ensure the dogs were ok and being well cared for. - SHE is amazing -”

“Melissa cared for my little cats as if they were her own! She was a life-saver as a last-minute booking and more than exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be reaching out if I need a sitter again :) Thank you for the care and pictures!”

“Lisa is so lovely - I love knowing a fellow cat mom is taking care of my buddy. She gave him great company and did a wonderful job of cleaning up after my cat to make it easier for me! Fantastic photos and communication.”

“Kaley was absolutely wonderful. We felt so at ease having her do our drop in visits while we were on vacation away from our sweet cat Snowy for multiple weeks. Every single day during their visit Kaley sent a new picture of Snowy which was wonderful and so comforting to be able to have photographic evidence every day showing us how happy and healthy Snowy looked. We are beyond grateful that we now have a cat sitter we can count on for all of our pets needs. We look forward to working with Kaley again in the future. We highly recommend her services. She is friendly, upbeat, on time, dependable, trustworthy, and a true animal lover. Thanks again Kaley!!!”

“Daisy was amazing and worked with my last minute needs. I felt Samson was in great hands and because of Daisy’s great communication, I was able to see how happy and taken care of he was.”
Dyker Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
I'm so glad to have met Jennifer! She provides excellent care to my cats as our drop-in sitter, especially that one of my cats fractured his leg and needed additional support! She is an excellent communicator and always makes sure to give the cats what they need. They love playing with her and she is very attuned to their different personalities. Any day that Jennifer can come in makes me feel calmer knowing that their needs will be met while I am at work

Our cats have loved getting to know Kara and Kara has truly taken the time to get to know them. She has been consistently reliable and communicative and her updates always contain the cutest pics. Even our typically shy cat trusts her. I highly recommend booking her for all your cat sitting needs!

Erin was a phenomenal cat sitter for our two kitties - super communicative and thoughtful! It makes such a big difference while being out of town knowing there’s someone trustworthy to check in on your pets - but even more of a difference when it’s someone like Erin! So thankful!

Our kitty was in wonderful hands with Emily. We loved getting all of her updates (photos, videos, and chat messages were excellent) and seeing him come out of his shell around her. She went the extra mile to earn his trust and take care of him when unexpected things came up. We are so grateful!

After a couple of cat visit bookings, Sunny has proven to be the absolute best cat sitter we could ever ask for! She's super attentive, detail oriented, and has NEVER let us down! Her notes are very descriptive and she has a very open line of communication. We love Sunny and will always be using her services for any of our vacas! Also, our fur baby loves her!!

I feel so comfortable knowing that my cat has been left in Barbara’s care. She pays close attention to his eating habits and keeps me updated, always plays with him and makes sure he gets treats and affection. I would highly recommend Barbara for any pets’ care.

Absolutely loved working with Hannah again! I needed a sitter last minute and she was super accommodating and attentive to the babies needs. My shy girl is finally becoming more comfortable, and she handles my chaotic boy with care. Thank you so much for all that you do!
