“Lenin is very professional, followed instructions to a tee, and let us enjoy our vacation in peace knowing our animals were being loved and cared for. Would definitely recommend and will be using again.”


About: I owned two dogs up until the age of 16 and loved them dearly. I often took my dogs out for long walks and played with them to make sure they were always active & engaged. Since then, I’ve dog/cat sat for numerous friends and neighbors throughout and post college. I always treat others’ animals with the same love and care as I did with my own! I currently work from home, so I have the flexibility to walk or play with your dog before 9am or in the afternoon and evenings if needed! Unfortunately I am unable to host at this time due to my resistance not allowing dogs, but I am available to dog sit in your home! I will ensure the comfort and safety of your dog at all times in a clean environment and can provide any specific additional/necessary support needed!

“Chenelle was very good with our dog and would send us videos and pictures throughout the day, so we were constantly updated. We would use her again!”


“Max was great, he spent time getting to know my dog. He was calm and friendly with him, taking time to understand him a bit. He kept me updated on his status, he walked, fed, and played with him during house sitting. He also replied quickly to the request, and came out on short notice.”


“Raiysa is a Queen!!! I could not have asked for a better dog sitter for my two rescue dogs!!! They require special care and she went above and beyond. I feel confident in saying that she is, in fact, an animal whisperer. While I was away, Raiysa sent me tons of videos, pics, and updates. If she had a question, she reached out, even just to be safe. I felt so at peace knowing my quirky, needy, attention loving dogs were safely in her hands. Thanks again, Raiysa! Queso and Honey send their love, until next time!”


“This is my second time having Kamila house/cat sit. She communicated promptly and professionally during the visit, and when I got home my cat was relaxed and the house was clean and tidy. Great service all around!”


About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10. I am very careful and diligent with pet care, with a focus on pet enrichment! I work remotely and am available most weekdays and weekends for pet walking and sitting. Depending on the distance I can do nights if needed! I am very respectful of people's homes and pay close attention to instructions left by pet parents! I am happy to meet over the phone before booking a sitting!

“Tosha was great! She was very friendly and clearly very experienced with cats and dogs. We appreciated that she came over twice before our trip to meet us and the pets. She sent lots of great photos and kept us updated daily. We highly recommend Tosha as a sitter!”


“Wendy was easy to work with and communicate with. Our dog immediately liked her and we felt same and comfortable knowing she was well taken care of.”


“Jorge is a responsible and responsive pet sitter. He sent me proactive emails and even came over to meet my pet and see his routine before he pet sat for me, which I really appreciated!”


About: I have been an animal lover since I was a little girl. I would jump at any opportunity to walk, feed, bathe, and cuddle the pets of my friends and family. As I have gotten older, the desire that I had to care for animals has not gone away. In fact, it has only gotten stronger. I currently care for a cat of my own, and provide services to friends whenever they are in need. I'd love to do that through Rover as well. I am currently a student, which gives me a lot of control over my schedule. My flexibility allows me to dedicate more time caring for your furry friends. Whenever you are in need of pet care, I will make sure that I am available for you. The way that I care for pets is very personalized, depending on the expectations of the owner and the needs of their furry friend. However, I will always make sure that the pet receives lots of affection and play time.

“Emily did an absolutely amazing job with our 10 month puppy! We were sent so many cute and thoughtful updates with photos and videos! I would HIGHLY recommend!!!!! Emily was definitely a star dog sitter!!!!!”


About: For a few years I’ve taken care of these cute little dogs, one has anxiety so I minister medicine in the food and looked after if they were anxious while they sleep. I currently looking for work after finishing college. I love animals so I feel like I would rather care for them while you’re away or busy with work during the week. I feel like while you’re away, for you and your pet/s sake you can be stress free if they stay in their calming environment home. So I’ll pet sit your dog or cat in the clients home.

About: At the service of care, we understand that your pets are more than just animals, they’re family. With years of experience in pet care, we provide a loving, safe, and fun environment for your furry friends. Our dedicated team of pet sitters is trained to handle pets of all sizes and temperaments, ensuring they receive the best care possible. Since I can’t really own a dog at the moment. Dog walking heals my inner child. I’ll easily get attach after a while, but it does truly make me happy! I’m currently trying to gain some funds for college at NYU. So why not work with animals! They make me feel so loved and happy, honestly the best job if you ask me. I have a lot of cats, so you would never have to worry about grooming, food, water, snacks, toys, and more! All the cats seem to get along very well and play-fight for fun or play with the toys we have available. I’m not too sure how they react with dogs, since I’m always surrounded by the cat community.

About: I’ve been looking after dogs of all sizes since I was 12. I love spending time with animals big and small, they’re my number one priority I am currently in between jobs so I have plenty of free time to spend with your pup. I’m based in Manhattan and can generally start work around ten AM. I always strive to leave my clients homes in a nicer state than when I got there. I’m very attentive to feeding times and or medication needs. I love to play with pets, so they’ll never be bored

“Kamryn did a fantastic job watching our dog Stanley! She was excellent at communicating with us, and provided Stanley with all the snuggles and treats! Highly recommend!”


“Highly recommend! Ken was super understanding of our anxious dog and his needs. He sent updates throughout the stay, will definitely use him again!”


“Amazing experience Archie was so happy”


“I can’t recommend Erick enough! He watched my dog Shadow over a long weekend and was truly incredible from start to finish. Shadow can be a bit reactive with other dogs and kids, and Erick took the time to meet him beforehand to ensure a good fit. They hit it off right away (the treats definitely helped!). Throughout the stay, Erick was super communicative and responsive, giving me peace of mind while I was away. He went above and beyond- taking Shadow on long walks through our local park, keeping up with his medication, sticking to his feeding and potty schedule, and giving him plenty of playtime and attention. He even used some paw balm on Shadows paws after long walks to keep them nourished and left some for me to use as well. I also came home to a tidy space, which was such a thoughtful touch. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and all-around amazing sitter, Erick is your guy. Shadow is already looking forward to his next stay!”
