“Kimberly is great with Kitana! Kitana loves her & they have lots of fun playing together. I feel comfortable with her & know that she’s in good hands. Will be keeping Kimberly as our long-term sitter!”


“Patrick and Karyn were fantastic with our two dogs, Riley and Zeus! They gave them so much love and attention, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. Great communication and updates, and we came home to two very happy pups. Highly recommend!”


“Kim was wonderful. She checked in before, during, and after and made sure the dogs were well loved. I felt comfortable that my dogs were in great hands and I most certainly will use her again!”


“Sharon has been great with our 2 dogs, one is almost 2 and the other is about 12 weeks. Always lets us know when she arrives and leaves the house, how they were and sends pictures of our babies. She is extremely accommodating and kind hearted, even agreeing to go back and forth to the house twice a day to help with housebreaking the puppy. Would definitely recommend!”


“Jason has been absolutely incredible. We needed someone to let our 2 pups out 3x a day and we were in a time crunch. This was my very first time using rover so I was a bit hesitant. Jason came and met the pups and us before booking and right away he had such a professional and mature demeanor. So happy we found Jason and will be using him again for sure!”


“Melissa was amazing with our Stella! This was our first time using rover and Melissa made us feel comfortable and secure that Stella was in great hands! We will definitely be using Melissa again and can’t recommend her enough! :)”


“Amazing! Julia was so, so good with my fluffy baby and was communicative, easy to work with and kind. My cat is an anxious girl who’s particular about new people, but she warmed to Julia within a couple days, which simply speaks volumes. Excellent sitter, and would easily hire again. 👍🏽.”

About: Hello Fellow Pet Parents, I work in education so I have an abundance of availability in the summer. During the school year I’m free weekends and during holiday breaks for all sitting purposes! So what can I say!?! Hummm… I Have assisted in the pet sitting world for over 10 years both commercially and privately. Built our own little dog park which gets cleaned daily. My pups are super friendly and love to do zoomies with visitors. The home is open and spacious. All dogs get individual attention. I work, but during the summer and parts of the year I do work remotely and have time off. I spend most of my weekends, afternoons, and evenings home with the pups and family. I have a fenced in little doggie park that gets cleaned daily. Dogs are free to roam the home unless you prefer them to be crated at anytime (ex. Bedtime). Two small dogs live here who are extremely social, vaccinated, and love playing with visitors. There are doggie cameras too. I make myself available anytime for my fellow doggie parents.

“We had Paul back to care for our fur babies, and once again it was a great experience. He is responsible and caring and even lets Teddy jump on his shoulders for headbutts! We highly recommend!”

That’s why I’ll capture daily photos and videos updates, so you can see how much of a good time your dog is having on long walk or play dates in my fenced-in backyard.

“Highly recommend. Easy to work with. Very good communications. Even advised when she was going to be a couple minutes late for a one hour visit. A caring, responsible, reliable choice. We will book with her again.”


About: I have pet sit other dogs prior but the one dog that sticks out is my sister’s black lab. Shakira was a black lab mutt with an auto immune disease. She needed twice daily medication and to be taken out side frequently. I work nights as a custodian for a school district ! So I’m available early to mid mornings for walks or house sitting over the weekends. As I have a cat, my number one priority for him is always making sure the doors are shut. He’s an indoor kitty and I ensure that it stays that way. Always guaranteed to have food and water and a clean litter box.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life through all 24 years. I started helping care for them around the age of 10, including two high energy Australian Shepherds, two cats, a rabbit, and exotic fish. I’m very active, love going on walks, and have been a long distance runner for years. I completed the New York City Half Marathon in spring 2024. I’m happy to do multiple walks a day or long mile walks. I’ve always been an animal lover raised in a home where pets are family. I want your pets to feel just as loved and happy as mine.

“Sarah Z The aka "dog whisper". I have never been away before and I have two protective yet talkative yet shy 11 month old German shepards, Sarah came over and met my girls and it was like a whole new experience yet training training session in one! She is kind compassionate and so amazing with animals. I felt so at ease leaving my kids with her when I went away, I would highly recommend her to anyone! Honestly this was my first time using this app but I will always use Sarah two thumbs up and a bunch of gold stars.”


About: My earliest memories have a four legged friend running around to call my sibling. This cultivated in me a love for dogs that I carry with me every day. I have also cared for the pets of friends and others in both a personal and professional capacity. I am a graduate student in Stony Brook’s Doctorate in Physical Therapy program. I am currently on my first clinical rotation and am free to extend my care beyond patients to pets after my shifts throughout the week. When first meeting a new pet, I always bring myself to their level and allow them to come to me first. During walks, I always make sure to secure the leash around my wrist and keep every dog on the side of the street away from the road. This eliminates any unnecessary risks and places your pet’s safety at the upmost importance.

They took great care of my home too, very respectful and responsible sitter. I will definitely hire them again, thanks again for everything and the adorable pictures!”
