“Rachel was amazing! I truly appreciate the updates each evening. It put me at ease while I was away. She was very observant of Toby’s behaviors and his comfort level which I appreciated. Toby & I can’t wait to book again. Thanks again Rachel ❤️”

“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Shirley for the weekend. He has separation anxiety and she was accommodating towards his needs to ensure he had a stress free stay with her. I appreciate how she was flexible with my drop off and pick up times. Would definitely hire her again!”

“Oksana is wonderful!!! She sent lots of photos, was quick to respond, flexible with pick up and drop off. My needy dog had a lovely holiday here. I highly recommend Oksana!!! :)”

“Pam & Jose were fantastic with our little man! He was so well loved & taken care of! We received some really great videos & photos which made this dogmom thrilled to know her baby boy was in great hands! I’m sure we’ll be booking with them again soon!”

“Thai is great- as always! He’s attentive, kind, patient, easy to communicate with, and very experienced with dogs. I trust him and feel very at ease knowing my dog is with him and being well looked after!”

“Tara was amazing with our dog. She met with us before booking to make sure Obi was comfortable. She kept in steady communication and kept us plied with photos and videos. Fully recommend!”

About: Over 15 years of loving, hands-on experience with dogs of all kinds, including seniors and medically sensitive pups. I treat every dog like family, providing walks, playtime, meals, and gentle care tailored to their unique needs. Patient, dependable, and passionate about keeping tails wagging and pups happy. I’m available on weekends, holiday breaks, and after-hours during weekdays. With my flexible schedule, I can give plenty of playtime, walks, and attention to each pup, ensuring they feel loved and active throughout their stay. My home features a secure, fenced yard and a friendly dog who love companionship. I provide safe walks, structured play, and can crate or supervise dogs as needed, ensuring a nurturing, reliable environment for every furry guest.
“Tallin was a truly wonderful dogsitter! I've left my dog with very few sitters before, so I was a bit anxious about leaving him with a stranger, but Tallin put me right at ease with twice-daily updates and lots of photos. I will absolutely try to book with her again next time I need a sitter!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and intuition I bring to every animal I work with. I’m not just a sitter—I genuinely understand dogs on a deeper level. I’ve helped deliver puppies, cared for senior dogs with patience and attention to their changing needs, and I have hands-on experience rehabilitating abused and neglected animals. That means I’m calm, observant, and able to read behavior quickly—whether it’s a nervous rescue or an energetic puppy still learning boundaries. I’m especially comfortable with puppies (potty training, basic commands, structure) and senior dogs who need a slower pace, medication, or extra comfort. I also naturally go above and beyond—whether that’s making sure routines are followed closely, giving extra affection, or keeping a close eye on subtle changes in behavior or health. Outside of sitting, caring for animals is just part of who I am. I regularly feed and look out for stray animals, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be understood, protected, and genuinely cared for. As an only child, I’ve always found a deep sense of comfort and connection in caring for dogs. Being able to meet their needs, earn their trust, and give them love brings me a genuine sense of purpose and fulfillment. It’s something that feels natural to me, and it’s a big part of why I’m so dedicated to the care I provide. I have a large, fully fenced yard with low grass, which creates a safe and comfortable space for dogs to walk, play, run, and enjoy plenty of outdoor time.
“Michael and Michele were absolutely amazing! They watched Clover for a recent 5-day trip and we couldn’t have asked for a better Rover experience. Michael and Michele took the time to know and understand Clover’s quirks and we felt comfortable enjoying our time away knowing she was in good hands. Will definitely be reaching out to them for future trips!”

“I’m so grateful for the wonderful care you gave Coco. You kept me updated, followed all instructions, and made sure Coco was happy and comfortable the entire time. It really gave me peace of mind. I would definitely book again!”

“Dayan was so wonderful with our playful Havanese. She was warm, reliable and communicative. We especially loved the adorable photos and updates we received while we were away. We look forward to leaving our dog with her in the future. Thank you, Dayan!”

“Kristin is absolutely fantastic. She was quick with her reply, extremely communicative throughout my dog’s stay and most importantly my dog came back very happy. I would highly recommend Kristin and plan on using her again.”


“Iwona was great with Mason! Really appreciated how well he looked upon pick up. It was clear she took the time to groom his face while he was in her care. He was a very happy and content little boy in her care.”

“Renzo took great care of Biggie! I could tell how much love he got when he got home and seemed sweeter even than when I dropped him off. He was very communicative and caring.”

“Andrej was superb! He was communicative and provided pictures, videos and updates of Rizz. Even tho Rizz gave him a run for his money, Andrej was a trooper. It’s obvious that Rizz enjoyed staying with him!”

Far Rockaway pet parents share their Rover experiences
Dayan is amazing she took care of my dog like it was hers pet every day I texts and updates of how my babe (dog) was doing and my dog is a rescue dog and he’s now a senior dog she took great care with him to the point where I felt comfortable while on vacation. Dayan is a great person thank you for looking after my dog max.

Edith was amazing! Highly recommend her. Great communication and would send us daily photo updates. Which we appreciated so much! It was our first time leaving our dog with someone outside of family and we never once felt like he wasn't with family because of her responsiveness. She would also make sure he would get his daily walks in. I would definitely use Edith again.

If I could give 10 stars, I would!! Tesaira has been literally the biggest help and also the best of a friend to my son during this time!! He’s truly having a blast and has truly been happy with his time spent with her!! She’s literally the best! So communicative and very understanding! My favorite forever!
