“Crystal is absolutely amazing! I can’t say enough great things about her. I instantly felt comfortable having her walk Ella and could tell she is super caring and knowledgeable about animals. She always takes the best photos on their walks...I told her she should be a dog photographer! And she takes the time to provide a thorough report of her walks with Ella...which I really appreciate. We have already booked her again and can’t wait to continue working with her! ?”

“Viktorija is great! Super friendly and very reliable. She contacted me a few days before about specific times and her plans. She was great at communication and takes excellent pictures! I would definitely recommend using her again. My boys loved her!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and personalities, and I truly enjoy making sure each furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while their humans are away. I grew up with pets, including my sweet Chihuahua who I cared for all the way through his senior years when he became blind, and also had the sweetest French Mastiff girl who made me fall in love with big dogs too. I don’t currently have pets of my own, which is exactly why pet sitting means so much to me. It gives me the chance to be around amazing animals, I especially enjoy helping dogs feel calm and happy when they might be feeling lonely. I work part-time from my phone for a marketing company, so I’m usually free and flexible to care for your pets. Most of the time, I’m available the day of and happy to help whenever you need! I live in a pet-friendly apartment, my place is pretty spacious and open. Also, in my building we have a pets area where I can take dogs for walks and playtime.
“Irina is the best! She is so dependable and works with my schedule. She is so patient with getting Theo comfortable with her and learning how he likes his walks. On top of that she is super kind and sends the cutest pictures and updates :)”

About: If you’re looking for someone who loves taking care of animals, you’ve found your match! I love giving pets the love they give to humans back to them! Since I was 10 I loved caring for animals, playing with them, and attending to their needs. I’ve taken care of puppies all the way to elderly dogs. I also have taken care of younger cats all the way to elderly also. No matter the age or size of the animal, I’d love to help care from them when you’re away! I currently coach high school football in the afternoons and evenings on the weekdays, so I’m available in the mornings for weekdays and free on weekends usually after 1. Sunday I’m free all day. I enjoy coming to the families home so the pet feels more comfortable with the environment. I don’t mind staying the night or working longer hours also.
“Halley was very patient with Cinnamon. Cinnamon has days when she won’t eat due to separation anxiety and Halley sat with her and helped her eat. Meals can be difficult as she’s a very picky eater but it all worked out!! The walks were also amazing! I’m sure cinnamon loved this hour long strolls with Halley and friends! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

East Village dog parents share their Rover experiences
Rory is an excellent caretaker for our 100-pound puppy. He is reliable, on-time, has high availability, is very kind and had loads of patience. Our 15-month old giant breed is in a boundary pushing phase. It takes someone incredibly attuned to dogs, physically strong, but firm to keep him on his best behavior through these tough pre-teen months. Rory handled him beautifully from the start. Highly recommend!
Absolutely amazing experience! My dog came back happy and relaxed after a long, thoughtful walk. The walker went above and beyond, spent extra time, sent adorable photos, and kept me updated throughout. Communication was seamless and reassuring. I’ll definitely be booking again and highly recommend!
Jess is amazing! This was my first experience using the Rover app and I was a little apprehensive about leaving my babies with a stranger. Right from the start she helped ease my mind by doing a quick meet and greet to get a bit acquainted. She was prompt, gave good reports on how things were going and took super cute pup pics on top of it all. I would 100% recommend her and I will for sure be using her again. Payton and Eesa were well loved and taken care of in my absence. Thanks Jess!!
