“Robin and Rahn took care of my girl like she was their own! It was our first time leaving our pup behind and I’m so happy that it was with them.

I will be rebooking with them every time I travel!!! Thank you again :)”

“Alisiene was wonderful to my Australian Shepherd. I had never used Rover before and was uneasy about it at first, but the experience could not have been better. Alisiene was extremely responsive, sent pictures and updates daily, and even sent Oliver home with some homemade treats. I would reccomend her to anyone and I am sure Oliver will be returning soon!”

“Gigi had a wonderful stay with Taruna! She was super communicative, sending plenty of updates and adorable photos throughout the visit. Taruna was also incredibly accommodating, which made me feel confident that Gigi was in great hands. Gigi seemed happy and relaxed the entire time. When she got home, she was totally wiped and went straight to bed—which only happens after she's had a fun and exciting day! We’re definitely looking forward to booking with Taruna again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life -- both my own dogs and as the go-to sitter for friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors. Across my extensive time caring for dogs, I have gained experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am particularly good with nervous or timid dogs, and I am very comfortable with dogs who have special medical needs. Last year I had to say goodbye to my own greatly beloved dog after two years of very intense cancer care. While I am not ready for a new dog of my own yet, I am eager to shower other people's dogs with affection and care. I have a very flexible schedule and am available for dog care most days. On days listed as available, I am able to spend almost all of the time at home with the dog(s). I do not currently have any other animals in the home, and your dog will receive my full attention! I have a wide variety of dog beds for them to try out and toys for them to play with.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember; big and small, shy and silly! I’ve helped raise several pups from puppyhood to their golden years, and I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether it’s a high-energy walk, a game of fetch, or a cozy cuddle session, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. I’m reliable, patient, and always up for outdoor adventures or sticking to your pup’s favorite routine. WFH with a flexible schedule. I even take myself on walks several times a day! Lots of time for playing, cuddling, and paying attention to your fur baby. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and needs. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. In a client’s home, I respect your space and keep things clean and consistent, aiming to make your pet feel secure in their familiar environment. If I’m hosting, I provide a calm, cozy, and pet-friendly space where your furry friend is treated like family. I always communicate clearly with pet parents and send regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving hands. Bonus: I have a patio where your fur baby can sunbathe or people watch!

East Village dog parents share their Rover experiences
Austyn & Laurel were absolutely amazing and accommodated a last minute request after previous arrangements fell through. They sent lots of photo updates and it was evident that they were taking such great care of Bourbon (and that he was having a blast!). Thank you both for keeping us at ease while we were out of town, we really appreciate it! We will definitely reach out again in the future - Bourbon is already missing his new friend Archie!

Karen was wonderful and a great communicator! I felt so at ease while Pepper was in her care. She sent updates and pictures. Her experience and love for animals truly shined and we look forward to booking with her in the future. Thank you Karen, Pepper had a blast with you!

She was absolutely wonderful—so flexible, kind, and attentive! She took such great care of my pup with plenty of walks, playtime, and consistent updates that gave me total peace of mind. I could tell he was happy and well cared for. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

We could not possibly be happier with Alisenes' care and love boarding our dog Lily. We received updates on how everything was going on a daily basis -- including photos of how much Lily was enjoying Aiisene's own dogs. Although Alisene does not have her own yard, she lives in a great neighborhood conducive to long dog walks and they had several each day. Lily clearly enjoyed her stay with Alsiene and her dogs -- she even baked some very special dog treats for Lily. We would not hesitate to book another boarding in the future!

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was friendly, warm, and truly cared for my pup as if he were her own. During the 6 nights I was away, she sent daily updates with adorable pictures and thoughtful notes, so I always knew how he was doing. She took him on frequent walks and outings, played fetch, and made sure all his needs were met. mind. Lourdes is the best!!!! I highly recommend, your pet will be in great hands! !

Marica worked with me to set up a meet and greet to make sure my little one would be comfortable in her home and could get a chance to warm up to her and her family prior to his boarding. She was extremely attentive and regularly kept me apprised of how my little guy was doing and getting along with his new furry friends in her home!

We highly recommend Beth. We had another Rover cancel on us at the last minute but we are very happy we connected with Beth. Beth was very communicative and sent daily photo updates. Both of our dogs looked like they were throughly enjoying themselves at the park and in her home. Beth was also very flexible with our late night pickup/drop off times. We would definitely book with Beth again.

Marisol was so loving and attentive with my senior dog, Maddy. Even when a few little hiccups popped up during the stay, she handled them with such kindness and care. She kept in touch the whole weekend, sending updates that truly put my mind at ease. I could tell Maddy felt safe and cared for in her hand.
