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!

They were great, and I highly recommend picking them for cat sitting needs! I picked Olga and Nicol for drop-in cat sitting. It was helpful to have them while I was out of town for the holidays, communication was clear and easy, and they sent pictures when they visited. Their service was exceptional!

Bianca was outstanding! I had a last minute need for someone to care for my very nervous, older, diabetic dog. We had little time to introduce her to him in advance, but she made it work. She was very patient with him and took the time to make sure he became comfortable with her. She managed to quickly gain his trust and had no issues giving him his insulin injections. She followed instructions very well and I did not worry at all about leaving him with her. I was confident that she would take care of his needs.

I had Xiaoying feed my 2 year old cat Mo for several days while I was on vacation and she was incredible! She went above and beyond, checking and cleaning her litter box, bringing toys, and spending lots of quality time with her. Her reports were always incredibly detailed and included lots of pictures. She was quick to respond and made the whole booking process super easy. I can't recommend her enough!

About: Hello for starters I'm a guy who loves doing cardio which comes hand to hand with dog walking. I can go hours and hours without getting tired. I own a dog myself (shitzu mix). Im a punctual man as well as man who loves to hike. Ive had numerous jobs as a teen but it didn't really felt like it was my 'calling' or something I can potentially do long term. This is fact my dream job staying at home with a dog and incorporating cardio from time to time. A dog with me will never feel bored I love making sure the dog is essentially happy and in the right state of mind . Endless amount of fetch and belly rubs. Also I have a pretty decent size back yard .

Charlie has been amazing with my dog Oliver. He walks him during the day and is always reliable, attentive, and caring. I can tell Oliver genuinely enjoys his time with him, which gives me peace of mind while I’m busy. It’s not easy trusting someone with your dog, but Charlie makes it effortless. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and kind dog walker.

About: I hope you are doing great! I grew up on a ranch and I learned how to take care of dogs, horses, goats, rabbits, cats and ducks. I love being around animals and seeing how we can have such an amazing bond with them. I seen how animals can help people from emotional therapy to physical therapy. I recently lost my two dogs spirit and Scarlett over the summer and it was the hardest moment I had to go through. They put a smile on my face and I missed them dearly. I recently moved to Queens and I miss being around my pets. I would love to provide the care your pet needs and to bond with them. Your pet deserves all the love and care! Currently, I am studying to become a veterinary technician online. I miss my cat Miso and rabbit Latte since I moved away from home. It feels strange without them. By joining Rover, I can spend time with any pet. Animals brighten up my day. I grew up on a ranch and I am educated on animal body language. It's very important to understand how a pet is trying to communicate. I love taking walks with dogs and playing with them. It's important for dogs to get daily exercise and distract them from boredom. Especially in the city.

As always, Katherine was very attentive and Arlo loved to have her visit! We booked her for a few visits over a week span. Our kitty loves to play with her and get some scratches and attention while we are gone. She does great with all instructions and spends quality time with him. This was our third or fourth time booking her, and we will book again in the future!

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: 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.

Xiaoying was super accommodating for my last minute request for my cats to be fed super early in the morning! My boys have a bit of a complex feeding situation but she followed all the instructions perfectly. She even played with them and sent tons of funny, adorable pictures!

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!

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! 🩷

Medina is an amazing cat sitter. She cared for our babies over 6 days, spending quality time of them, and making sure they were well fed.

Jennifer was an absolute lifesaver! She fit me into her schedule last minute and checked in on my baby when I had to travel out of state. She was kind, respectful, and professional during the visit, prioritizing Mickey’s safety and comfort. He’s a bit shy and didn’t come out right away, but she gave him space after setting up his food and cleaning his litter, and made sure he ate before leaving. She followed all my instructions perfectly. Overall, she was amazing and would highly recommend!
