“Laura was fantastic with our 4 month old puppy. She followed every instruction and detail and provided pictures and a thorough summary of her visits. She did a 30 minute meet and greet prior to her services in order to get familiar with my house and our puppy. I highly recommend her!”
“Natalie was great. We needed someone last minute to check in our cats and she was super responsive and helpful. The rover app had a few issues at first but she was quick to respond to us and helped set our minds at ease.”
“Jeffrey was incredibly communicative, answering texts promptly and giving helpful updates. He followed all instructions and was just great with my kitten, giving him his medicine and playing with him.”

About: I have always been surrounded by dogs and cats and I thoroughly enjoy being in their company. I have an immense love for animals and find great joy in spending time with them. I am currently taking online classes, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I am able to dedicate plenty of time to spending quality time with your best friends. I have veterinary experience from working at an animal hospital, which has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. I am detailed oriented and thrive on following directions precisely to ensure the best possible care for your furry friends.
“Kloe was extremely caring for our three cats. They trusted her right away. She fed, cleaned and played with them while we were away. Sent so many cute pictures and videos. Definitely recommend!”
“Judith L was a very conscientious and considerate cat sitter for me. She was punctual and aware of what I had requested for care of my two cats. She sent pictures and updates for each visit, so I wouldn't worry about my cats while I was away. I would highly recommend her. She even brought in late deliveries for me. A five star rating is not high enough for her. Thank you, Judith!”
About: Passionate about providing compassionate. My skills are playing tricks, fetch, sit, down, stay, come. A great way to exercise and build a bond. I like to get to know them. Mornings often begin with feeding, walks (for dogs), or playtime, depending on the pet's needs. Midday might include check-ins, litter box cleaning, or administering medication. Evenings are for meals. I prioritize pet care appointments and dedicate the necessary time. My schedule is open on weekday and weekends, anytime of the day. In my home, I provide a safe, clean environment with personalized routines. In clients' homes, I follow their instructions, respect their property, and provide regular updates. Love and attention are always included!
About: I am a full-time educator looking for some part time work. Im introverted so I spend loads of time at home with the fur babies. On weekdays I will be out from 7am-5pm most days. Weekends will be dependent on scheduled boarding and any pre-scheduled compromises. Pleask ask for accommodations. I have a very gentle, shy 1 year old cat. At home, I have a gate that can try to separate them as much as possible. At a client’s home, that will be dependent on the needs of the owner and animal companion.
“Rose is the ABSOLUTE best!! She took care of my susu and made her feel very comfortable and happy! I would 100% recommend her to anyone who wants their fur baby to be in good hands. She gave her her medicine, changed her litter, made sure she had food and water and even maintained her morning routine and spent quality time with her. Can’t say enough about how much of a jem Rose is!”

About: Hi there! I grew up in Istanbul which many of you would know, is a cat heaven! I love animals because they are honest, pure with their expression of love and appreciation. They live the day as if there is no tomorrow, which personally is something I can look up to. All my life I have been surrounded by multiple pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, snails... now I have two cats, whom I get sad whenever I am away from. I understand how important and emotional it is to find a good sitter when we cannot be around, someone to take care of them as if their own. In your absence I will be a mama, play date, caregiver, and a reliable friend to your little babies. I am a very patient person with compassion, have trained eyes for detail, and endless love for animals. I have been taking care of my partner's family dogs and mini horses whenever they go out of town for the past five years, alongside with my brother's four pawed clients in the last couple years. I'm an aspiring artist working from home, have plenty of time to share my love and care, on most days. I can board couple bonded cats, just as I foster sometimes for a limited time. I live in a two bedroom apartment with two cats, and able to keep the cats separated for the time of boarding. Just as how I introduced my cats slowly, very slowly, I am well aware that it is never a good idea to put them together all of a sudden. One of my cats never met a dog before, so I would not board any dogs at this time. I care for pets as my own, keeping them safe, clean, well-fed and watered, and well played. I believe we owe them at least that much keeping them in our homes.
About: Hi, I’m a pet sitter based in New York City offering calm, attentive, and highly reliable in-home pet care. I provide a steady, low stress presence for pets who thrive on routine, familiarity, and gentle attention while their owners are away. My approach is quiet, consistent, and detail-oriented, focused on maintaining your pet’s normal rhythm so they feel secure in their own environment. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats of varying temperaments, including pets who are shy, sensitive, or accustomed to more structured care. I take time to understand each pet’s behavior, preferences, and routine so care feels seamless and familiar. Clients can expect clear communication, timely updates, and thoughtfully documented check-ins with photos so you always feel connected and informed while traveling. I also take great care in respecting your home. Maintaining a clean, orderly space and ensuring everything is exactly as you left it. Whether you need overnight care, drop-ins, or extended stays, my goal is simple: your pet remains comfortable, your home remains respected, and you travel without concern. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter. I can't wait to meet you and your beloved pets! Warm regards, Nellie I offer flexible availability for morning, midday, afternoon, and evening drop-in visits for both cats and dogs, as well as weekend care and select overnight stays. I’m also available for last minute bookings when possible and respond quickly to messages to keep scheduling simple and reliable. My goal is to provide steady, dependable care that fits your pet’s routine and your travel plans. I prioritize a safe, calm, and consistent environment for every pet I care for. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, litter care, and any medications, while paying close attention to their behavior and comfort level. Dogs are always securely leashed on walks, and cats are never forced into interaction, they’re cared for on their terms. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and mindful of security at all times. You’ll receive regular photo updates so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 2 decades. I’ve helped train dogs, provided prescribed medication, assisted in emergencies and give lots of puppy pats. I’ve worked with 15- year-old chihuahuas and 6 month old Labrador puppies without any issue or worry. Overall, I’ve been a pet owner and understand how important it is to feel comfortable putting your dog in a new situation. So I’m happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have. My main priority is that your pet is safe, comfortable and cared for until your return. I’m a freelancer and I usually can work remotely, so I have the freedom to schedule my week as I see fit. That means I can take dogs out multiple times in a day, without it disrupting my schedule. In my home, I live in an apartment which means I take dogs out every 2 hours. Depending on their size and energy I take longer or shorter walks. And at other people homes I’m happy to follow specific instructions but, as my own set of rules, I make sure to clean any messes I find on the property, if a vacuum is available I’m happy to vacuum hair/fur, especially if the pet owner is away for more than 5 days, I’m always available to communicate if any owner wants to check in with me and of course I’m happy to face time if you’d like to check in on your pet. I usually send and end of day message with a picture of your pup and a review of our day.
“Dania was great with our pets and stayed in touch while we were away. Our pets felt very comfortable with her. She’s kind and gentle! We’ll definitely book Dania again for our next trip!”
“Ana was very sweet to my cat, Leo. She always responded to my texts and kept me updated on how my cat was doing while I was away. I definitely recommend her! She is an animal lover and is very reliable.”
East Elmhurst dog parents share their Rover experiences
I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She took such wonderful care of my dogs and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she treated them like their own, making sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Communication was great throughout, and I really appreciated the detailed updates. I came home to two very happy pups, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!
Raul did an excellent job pet sitting for Gunner. He made sure to follow instructions my husband and I gave him, which gave us a peace of mind. When something wasn’t completely clear, he checked in with me, I really appreciated that level of communication and care. It’s safe to say he’s doing a great job getting to know both us and Gunner, and we feel comfortable trusting him with our dog. Highly recommend!
Charlie did a really good job with Cato. He was eager to take notes during our first meeting, and double checked most details I provided to ensure he provided the best care for Cato. His communication was very strong, especially when Cato ate something she shouldn’t have. If you need a sitter, I’d do it!
Marcela did a wonderful job walking Beau and following instructions as he's still a puppy and training to walk. There is another puppy she walks in the apartment, but although we offered that she could walk Beau together with that puppy, she stated that she preferred to give each dog individual attention, which we were surpised by and appreciated. She took a lot of photos and videos, and we'd gladly ask Marcela to walk Beau again!
Debbie has been wonderful with our 3-month-old puppy and 2-year-old dachshunds! I was a little nervous with our pup being so young but Debbie put me at ease. She’s warm, reliable, professional, and follows directions so well. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing the dogs are getting love, attention, and great care while we’re at work. We’re so happy we found her 😊 Thanks Debbie! 🩷
Austin was a huge help during my first week with a new puppy. He came over twice in a short time in one day for food/potty/play breaks for my 10 week old puppy. He came by in the morning for a meet and greet too. He was on time for them, sent lots of photos/videos, and left a lot of information afterwards. Very professional. I will be hiring him again!
Fiona is amazing with my dog Goliath! He has special needs as he is a big dog and doesn’t play well with others but he loves her and she takes special care of him, bringing him treats and playing with him. She goes above and beyond what I could ask as a sitter. She comes to my home and takes care of him and I trust her completely!! She is always reliable. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Fadong was excellent!! I needed someone very last minute and reached out to several people early in the morning, and he replied immediately and assured me my boy would be in the best hands. And he meant it! He was very communicative, on time, and very attentive and loving with my Biggie. I am very happy with his care and highly recommend him to any other person looking for high quality care for their pups.
This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little nervous leaving my dog, Nova, with someone new but Alissa made the whole experience so smooth! She was incredibly communicative, keeping me updated with multiple photos and videos throughout the stay. It was clear Nova was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Alissa went above and beyond to make sure I felt at ease, and I truly appreciate her thoughtfulness and professionalism. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
She was such an angel to come care for my dog last minute!! He’s a big boy and not the easiest to handle and she did a great job with him. She did drop in visits and it was so nice to have someone I could trust in my home and with my dog. 100% recommend her and I will book with her again for next time.
Mia & Maria were very sweet and loving. My dog has separation anxiety but he seemed to get comfortable with them very quickly. My pup also loved the backyard. Mia & Maria were experienced with caring for older dogs as well. I was extremely satisfied and will be booking again.
