“Krissy was WONDERFUL!! We have a pup that can take a little bit to warm up to you - Krissy came over twice before our trip to meet Lucy and for them to get comfortable. She sent us tons of pictures and kept us up to date on how Lucy was doing while we were away! Lucy absolutely loved Krissy!! We will be working with Krissy again in the future for our next trip!”
“We are incredibly grateful to Karen for taking such wonderful care of our two dogs during our vacation through drop-in visits at the house. This enabled them to stay where they were comfortable and not be boarded. Karen was both professional and friendly, making us feel completely at ease while we were away. She was in contact with photos and summaries of visits which gave us peace of mind. She fed them, let them out, and engaged them in play. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dogs, and they loved her. We will certainly be booking her services again in the future. Thank you, Karen, for your outstanding care!”
“Rachel is wonderful :) My two rescues can be quite reactive and skittish to just about any change in lifestyle. She's more than willing to jump right in & find what works for everyone. I will be using her as a regular sitter from here on out!”
“Suzanne was amazing! She was accommodating, left plenty of photos and detailed notes for us, and most of all, kept our fur baby safe and happy during and after his walks. We've never felt more comfortable, and wouldn't hesitate to book her again!”
About: My family and I all love animals, so we applied to be pet's sitters at home care. We have a independent house with a yard, and there will always be someone at home 24 hours a day. The pets can move freely at home without too many restrictions. We have regularly clean to the house to ensure the clean and hygiene environment for all pets. I have over a year of experience in taking care of cats and over six years of experience in taking care of dogs. The longest time I took care of a cat was for two months. At the beginning, the cat would hide under the sofa for a week, but lately he became completely unrestrained and would lie on the bed together, play hide-and-seek with me, and explore every corner of the house. When the weather was good, the dogs could play freely in the yard. Welcome all cats and dogsto my home, we are the best friends of your pets! We can keep daily routine for all pet's. I am working part-time on weekends and I will come back at 4PM , but my family members are off on weekends. And my family members and I take care of all pets together. We have a independent house with a yard, and there will always be someone at home 24 hours a day. The pets can move freely at home without too many restrictions.

About: We are a family of dog lovers! My husband and I both grew up with dogs, and though we don’t have pets currently, our love of dogs keeps us pet sitting and dog walking around our neighborhood. We have 3 young children who absolutely adore dogs, and love taking responsibility in taking care of them when we are pet sitting. We have a lot of snuggles to give your pups, and lots of walks to take them on, too! I am a stay at home mom so our schedule is pretty flexible! We are up early, and outside often. Any timing should be fine for us to work around. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your fur baby. We can play fetch with your pup, give them lots of snuggles, and plenty of walks!
“Alec was amazing with my girl! He is so kind and extremely responsive, making me and my fur baby feel comfortable and confident! I can’t say enough great things about him!”
About: Hi there! My name is Kate, I’m 24 years old and I am based in Long Island NY. I’ve been a life long animal lover, I grew up incredibly curious and caring towards animals. I grew up raising pets like fishes, birds, hedgehogs, ferrets, rabbits and my beloved dog who recently passed after being with us for 16 years. It’s been difficult living without her but I still want to keep myself company with other animals. I will care for your pet like as if they were my own. I can work with puppies to the senior citizens. * I am willing to commute to NYC as well! * I’m currently working part time while also in school but my job has a very flexible schedule, I can take off pretty much any day of the week but I just need it to be asked in advance! Mondays and Sundays are my days where I know I am 100% free but don’t be shy, message me and we can work something out ! I have a fenced yard so they will be protected. I also provide a food bowl and water along with treats! I have a leash and collar if needed! They will also be provided with a comfy bed if they want to doze off. Behind my house there is an elementary school with a huge field, I would bring them there to walk around and play!
“Michael was great. He kept communication clear and let us know how the dogs were doing. We have two huge boys who are pretty much lap dogs. He handled them gracefully. Definitely recommend!”
“Stephanie has been Amazing with my puppy!! Consistent, reliable and very knowledgeable! When she leaves he is tuckered out from playing and training. Will continue to use Stephanie as my primary dog walker whenever I can!”
“Linda was great with our dogs. She sent us photos of them and gave us an update on her visit. Upon meeting her, our dogs were instantly in love. We feel worry-free knowing she is going to tend to them when we are away.”
About: I am a Pre vet major in college with a minor in wildlife ecology. I also have experience as a vet intern. I am also currently working at a wildlife rehab 3-4 days a week so some days I am only available for early morning walks or late night walks. My whole life I have grown up around dogs. My mom was always brining different starts into the house until they found homes. When my family or friends would go away on vacation I would take care of their pets for them. I would go over to their house and feed and play with them until they got tired. I even would take them on walks or bring them to the dog park if they asked me to I would take their dog to the dog park to play. Ever since I have been in 6th grade I have been volunteering at an animal rescue every Saturday. While I am there I help raise donations and work with the dogs that have behavioral issues. I work part time at two jobs so my hours are pretty flexible. I mostly work in the mornings and free the rest of the day I have a huge fenced in backyard with plenty of space to run around. I also have 2 dogs and 3 cats to keep ur fur baby company. I am able to crate ur dog if needed.
“Katharine was great! I'm still nervous leaving our new puppy and she was very communicative and made sure to send lots of pictures so I knew how they were doing! We'll definitely be asking her to stay with Murphy and Maisie again!!”

Stephanie was truly incredible. I had a last-minute, very emotional change of circumstances: we had to put my dog Pugs to sleep the day before I left for a trip, and my other dog, Little, was suddenly alone for the first time after 15 years with his brother. I was worried about how confused and unsettled Little would be, but Stephanie stepped in immediately and adapted so naturally. She took amazing care of Little: feeding him, keeping him comfortable, and giving him the attention and reassurance he needed while I was away. She also kept me informed throughout the weekend, which gave me real peace of mind. When I came home, Little was in great spirits and full of energy, and my place was immaculate - honestly even better than when I left it. Stephanie went above and beyond in every way, and I’m genuinely grateful for the care she showed. I would recommend Stephanie to anyone without hesitation. She exceeded my expectations, and I absolutely plan to book her again.
Juliana is the best, I trust her completely with my 2 cats, Nellie & Clark! She has been watching my cats since Clark was a kitten and now he is 2 years old. He can be high energy and difficult towards my older 10 year old cat Nellie, but Juliana handles them with such love and patience. She is able to separate them during feeding times and distract Clark with playtime! She is always prompt and goes above and beyond to ensure I feel at ease that the cats are doing well while I’m away. When Juliana is watching them, I never worry!
Katharine was awesome! She came to the rescue when our original plan fell through for someone to drop in and care for our dog while we were out of town for the day. Each drop-in, she was right on time, left thorough notes, and sent us photos. We sincerely appreciated her friendly demeanor and willingness to take on our last-minute request; we're so glad it worked out and we wouldn't hesitate to contact her again. Thank you Katharine!
Michael was amazing with my two shy cats. He was gentle and patient and overall just what they needed. He was respectable of our space and followed instructions well. So grateful he made my first Rover experience a smooth and positive one! Reliable and very responsive. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook in the future.
Jenna and Greg were absolutely amazing with our pups during our vacation!! We Couldn't be happier!! We were nervous and had never hired a sitter before and we were going away for a whole week but Jenna and Greg put all of our worries at ease!

Jenna and Greg are extremely trustworthy, caring and both AMAZING at what they do!! If you get a chance to book them definitely take advantage of such a Beautiful opportunity-Jenna and Greg do not disappoint and your pups will be so happy to be in amazing hands!!!! Thank you Jenna and Greg!!🫶🐶🐶🫶
I’m a very nervous pet owner, so leaving my cats alone while I’m on vacation is always a stressful experience. But Oluademi did an amazing job taking care of my cats and helped put me at ease every step of the way. She followed my (admittedly pretty complicated) instructions perfectly and with attention to detail. She often went the extra mile to spend time with them and reassure me that they were doing just fine, so I could enjoy my vacation. I would absolutely recommend her!
Susan was everything I had hoped for and just the person I needed to care for my fur granddog! She was friendly, attentive, punctual, trustworthy and he loved his long walks and playtime with her! Susan truly cared for him the way I do and it gave me great peace of mind to know that. I would highly recommend her! Thank you, Susan!
This was our second drop-in visit， and he once again did an amazing job. He took great care of each one of our cats, cleaned the litter boxes thoroughly, refreshed their water, and made sure everyone was happy. We really appreciate how attentive and reliable he is. Highly recommend!
Lauryn was so nice and attentive to feeding my cat and fish. She always kindly asked if there was anything more she should do, and communicated with me every day to tell me when she was going to stop by. She always took pictures of the food she refilled during each visit. Thank you Lauryn!
