“I booked Alice & Ethan for drop-in visits for my cat. I appreciated how responsive they were throughout the booking process and the stay, as well as their willingness to stop by my apartment beforehand for a meet & greet. While I was away, their thorough Rover Cards with numerous pictures and videos put my mind at ease. I came back to a tidy house and happy cat -- I would definitely book again!”

“Johanna was so caring and attentive! It was my first time booking with Rover and she really put my mind at ease with consistent and proactive communication, and such clear knowledge, care and love for cats! She was persistent and patient with giving his meds and always had great updates to share.”

“Joyce was AMAZING! We were out of town for a week and she followed the instructions we left and was great at communicating how they were doing. One of my cats is quite nervous and seemed to warm right up to her, was such a relief knowing my cats were being well cared for while I was away. Will be my go to sitter in the future!”

“Renata and Marina are wonderful dog walkers! They are both friendly, punctual, and communicate clearly throughout. Most importantly, Willow, my Great Pyrenees mix, absolutely loves them. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in great hands and will happily book them again.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong passion for animal care, starting when I was just 12 years old. Since then, I've dedicated countless hours to understanding and caring for animals of all kinds. As a proud owner of a shelter rescue pitbull mix, I've learned firsthand the importance of patience, compassion, and tailored care. I've invested time and resources into my own dog's enrichment and socialization, and I'm confident in my ability to provide the same level of love and attention to your furry friend. Whether you're looking for a trusted companion for your pet or just need someone to give them extra TLC, I'm here to provide top-notch care and make your pet feel like part of the family. As a hybrid tech sales employee, my schedule can get busy, but caring for pets is a top priority for me. I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 4PM, which fits perfectly with my work schedule. I'm also flexible and willing to adjust my schedule as needed to ensure that your dog receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while in my care. Whether that means taking them on a longer walk or playing an extra game of fetch, I'm committed to making sure your dog feels loved and entertained. When boarded with me, your dog is welcome to free roam and enjoy all the comforts of home, including lounging on the couch. My home is just a 5-minute walk from a park, so we can easily get in some exercise and fresh air. Your pup will also get to meet Cozy, my friendly 6-year-old pitbull mix, who's always excited to make new furry friends. Cozy loves to play and socialize, and I'm confident she'll help your dog feel right at home. Whether in my care or yours, I tailor my services to meet your dog's individual needs and ensure they receive the love, attention, and exercise they deserve.
“Outstanding cat sitter. During a long trip I was on, Ryan sent me photos, videos, and reports that made me feel reassured that my cat was okay and warmed my heart. He played with him and took care of everything on the list. Highly recommend.”

“Emily was great! She followed all the instructions I left for checking on my cats. During her drop-in visit, she played with them and sent plenty of pictures. She is moving soon, otherwise I would be a repeat client!”

“Iris is so great! Very responsive and provides daily notes and pictures. She was willing to extend her visitation of my Ella when I ended up stuck out of town after my flight was cancelled. Appreciate her flexibility and attentiveness!”

“Joyce was absolutely wonderful! Her warmth and kindness were immediately evident when we first met. She was very responsive, provided timely updates, and asked great questions that demonstrated how much she cared about Fuji's wellbeing. I felt completely comfortable having her come to my apartment for drop-in visits knowing that Fuji and my home were in good hands. She also takes the most adorable update pics and videos! Just a responsible and good person in general. I will definitely be hiring again in the future! Thanks Joyce!”

“Arianna was great, very kind and patient and took great care of my cat. She sent me many pictures and was very communicative and super responsive. I highly recommend her! She truly cares!”

“Jennifer goes above and beyond for each visit. She's such a pleasure and is so accommodating. She loves my fur baby like her own - I couldn't ask for better! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”

“April was very receptive to all notes and random updates prior to every visit. Her communication was excellent and provided real time updates and pics which was really helpful! Would book again and recommend!”

“Rachel was so great! She was prompt, responsive, and patient with my scaredy cats. I have a little robot and it stopped working while I was away. She was able to troubleshoot it and get it working again. Thank you!”

“Brandon and his husband were absolutely amazing! I had to leave unexpectedly out of state and they were so sweet and to take care of my pup/cat on short notice. On top of that Brandon would always send me updates and even took care of them when I was delayed in making it home. Simply the best! 10/10 highly recommend!”
“William was so caring and loving with our 3yo cat. He was also an ace at communicating and making sure we were comfortable. He was able to get amazing pictures and even get a knot in our kitties fur without us even asking. 5 stars across the board!”

“Noga did a fantastic job, as always! She even noticed Madison’s litter needed to be changed and proactively did it for us when we were only gone for a long weekend. Highly recommend.”

About: I have loved and cared for dogs my whole life. My sister is a dog breeder. I have dog sat my roommates not so friendly Chihuahua but we got along in the end. I smoothed her over. I’m pretty open, I am currently not working, so I am available all days and most st of the day, what ever I am needed I live close to Central Park and would love to bring your dog there. I would let them cuddle on the couch with me as well
About: My most recent pup family member is a Shih Tzu I took in because he was being abused by his owner. He’s become my best friend from all the patience and love I’ve given him. I also helped my roommate in college raise two gorgeous Border Collies that we adopted when they were 8 weeks old. My schedule is extremely open for taking care of furry friends. I’m a personal trainer and dog walking is is the most enjoyable way for me to make sure I’m getting my steps in every day! I have a fenced in yard and a wonderful walking trail next to the water that I’d walk your furry family at. I’ll give your pet all of the action they need to get their much needed energy out.

“I've hired Elva multiple times now when I've been away and I know my cats are in good hands with Elva. It's clear from the pictures that my cats really enjoy her company.”

East Harlem pet parents share their Rover experiences
Madeleine took such wonderful care of our cat while we were out of town! She was responsive and very understanding of all of his needs! With an older cat, it gives us a lot of comfort knowing that Madeleine is there to make sure he is ok when we aren't around. She sent us daily updates and pictures to keep us aware of how he was doing! We'll definitely be booking her in the future!
Big thanks to Karalyn for giving me peace of mind when I have to travel away from my cats. Updates and pics were perfect and thank you for keeping them cool, looking good with the brushing and keeping us up to date on my elusive void cat when photos were not possible. ❤️

Sarah was so great with our two kitties! One takes a pill twice a day and Sarah was willing to come by to administer both times for multiple days. She easily figured out tricks to get our stubborn kitty to take her meds even when she didn’t want to, and our other shy kitty was quickly comfortable enough to come out of her hiding spot for food and pets. Highly recommend!

Elizabeth’s been amazing with our kitty Pepper! She took great care of her and communicated with us every day with an extensive update and lots of pictures. She’s clearly a cat lover and has become our little Pepper’s first friend (outside of us). Would definitely recommend Elizabeth to look after your cat(s).
