“I found Jessica's profile to be warm and engaging with her "clients" so I decided to reach out as I needed last minute childcare for my furbabies. She reached out to me immediately and we were able to connect and do a visit. Im a worry wort as this would be the first time I was doing drop-ins vs. Overnight care. Jessica assured me that my babies were in great hands. She took excellent care of my furchildren. She kept me updated, took photos, and provided information on why one of my cat's was behaving aggressively (i found him abandoned in a small crate in my building two weeks before I had to leave town. Hence why I needed someone). He's soon to be snip snipped. She also played with them too which was awesome because they love that. She was a trooper and cared for my babies for 15 days. I would definitely recommend her and would use her again for her services.”

“Brandon is an exceptional sitter! He got back to me in a timely manner even when i requested his services a bit last minute. My German Shepherd pup loves him and I feel comfortable leaving him in his care. He kept us updated if anything happened and even took some cute photos of our kitty at home. If you’re looking for a trustworthy sitter, Brandon is your guy!”

About: My experience with animals goes beyond just having pets of my own! I’ve raised my cat, Khloe, since she was a newborn, cared for my boyfriend’s senior dog Gizmo (RIP), and even helped care for a family member’s puppy (Romeo) who was sick with a UTI. That meant keeping up with more frequent walks and giving the puppy extra attention throughout the week. I’ve also managed to keep three carnival goldfish (Darwin, Sayuri, and Mohawk) happy and healthy for over two years! From young pets who need supervision to senior pets who may need a gentler hand, I’ve learned every animal has different needs, but deserve the same patience consistency and love. I’m also a photographer and artist, so I LOVE catching those goofy moments that fill every pet owners phone gallery. If your pet becomes my buddy, don’t be surprised if you get an entire complimentary photo shoot! I will also be happy to clean your fur baby afterwards (yuck nyc floors) and provide poop bags, toys, treats, etc if needed! I am doing doggy day care only in owners home for now, my housing situation isn’t fit to host other animals. I’m currently in college full time. We can work together to find the best schedule 🐾 my priority is making sure the fur baby is safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the usual feeding, walking, playtime, and rest routines as closely as possible. In your home, I’ll respect your space, keep your pet areas cleaner than you left them, and make sure they have fresh food and water.
About: I have taken care of pets from dogs and cats to parrots and Guinea pigs. I am always respectful of the owners wants and the pets needs. I am a senior in college and have most of my classes later in the day which leaves me time in the morning and early afternoons. I have a fenced in yard as well as always ok to buy a pets favorite treats and create a safe space for them to enjoy.
“I would definitely recommend Fallon— she was consistently prompt and responsive, and our care instructions were followed perfectly. Our shyest cat rarely makes an appearance when we have a cat sitter, and he was out and about from day 1.”

“Tosha was so good with my son’s cat. She went above and beyond to make sure Peach was comfortable, well-fed and her litter box was always clean. Tosha sent us regular updates and spent extra time playing with Peach (or petting her as her mood dictated.) It gave us so much peace of mind to know Peach was well taken care of. We hope Tosha’s available the next time Peach needs a sitter.”

“Binta was a wonderful sitter for my Cleo! I appreciate how she took the time to get to know Cleo and wrote meaningful updates. Cleo is a shy, reserved girl but Binta was able to get through to her! I hope to book with Binta again in the future. Thanks for everything, Binta!!”

About: While I don’t have professional pet care experience, I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have always had a deep love and connection with them. From walking dogs to feeding, playing, and simply being a comforting presence, caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I’m attentive, gentle, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pet needs an energetic playmate or a calm companion, I’ll treat them like family and follow their routines closely so they feel right at home while you’re away. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I have a very open and flexible schedule. This allows me to give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand their routine, behavior, and any specific needs to make sure they feel secure and well-cared for. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment free of hazards, and I always follow the owner’s instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or special quirks. I build trust through patience, gentle care, and consistent attention, so your pet feels happy and at ease while you’re away.
About: I’ve had the joy of being around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with both small and large breeds since I was a little girl. Caring for them is a lifelong passion for me. I love not only spending time with dogs but also training them, learning about their unique personalities, and making sure they feel happy, healthy, and understood. My goal as a sitter is to give each dog the same level of love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is thriving while you’re away. As a freelance artist, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to tailor my day around the needs of the pets I care for. My work in the arts gives me the freedom to be present for regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Because I can easily adjust my routine, I’m able to give each pet consistent attention and love. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or in a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are in a secure environment that they are free from hazards, with access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and plenty of safe play space. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, from feeding routines to exercise schedules, and keep a watchful eye on the pet’s behavior and well-being. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and ensure it’s kept tidy and secure. My goal is to provide both the pet and their owner with peace of mind, knowing they’re in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I work overnight full time but I’m free in the day and afternoon so I will be fully awake to take care and watch dogs I have a backyard so the dogs would be safe. There is a lot of dogs in my area so the dog wouldn’t be lonely
“Wendy was great with Nash! She followed all my instructions, communicated during the visit, and even sent me a photo! Her visit was very helpful and took the worry out of being gone for the day. I will definitely book Wendy again!”

About: I have had pets since I was a child, I have extensive background dealing with and training small and large dogs. I have a fur baby of my own (a white and brown havenese) and love meeting new puppies/dogs. I live in Inwood and my apartment is dog friendly; I also have a great park nearby for lots of outdoor playtime. The dog park is also within that park which my dog loves very much. I have a lot of free time as I’m working as a real estate professional, and love making organic doggie treats for my own pup. I can host dogs at my place for more than a week as well as offer drop in service at your home. I look forward to meeting your best friend! I’m usually available during the weekends and can board dogs or cats during the week. Currently I watch dogs/cats for repeat clients & friends either in my home or at their home. I’ll always be sure to leave the client’s home exactly as I found it, I can always dog sit while your away, and I can send photographs throughout the day and video chat if you’d prefer.
“Diana took great care of our cats while my husband and I were away for a few days. She was attentive to detail and communicative and our cats loved her! We will search for her on rover again next time. Thanks, diana!”

“Megan was a great sitter for Nyla. She was very flexible when I added additional visits and requested changes in the visits. I will definitely be scheduling her for future visits.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for many years family pets, friends’ dogs, and neighbors’ pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and giving medication if needed. As a parent myself, I’m patient, responsible, and always at home to give your pets the attention and security they need while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own and send regular updates with photos so you have peace of mind. Pet care is a natural fit for my daily routine. As a parent, I’m home most of the day and already structured around caring for others. I handle meals, potty breaks/litter scooping, playtime, and any medication on a consistent schedule that matches your pet’s needs. I can easily adjust around school drop-offs, pickups, or family activities while still giving your pets plenty of attention and companionship. Overnight house sitting works especially well because I’m already at home in the evenings and nights. I’m reliable with communication and always make sure pets’ needs come first while fitting everything smoothly into my day. When you book house sitting with me, your pets stay in the comfort of their own home and receive consistent, attentive care.

Your pets will be treated with the same care and affection I give my own family. Feel free to request a Meet & Greet so we can go over everything in person and make sure it’s a perfect fit!

Jonathan is amazing! I needed someone last minute to take care of my dog while I travelled for work, and Jonathan definitely came through. He was communicative, caring and made this process so easy for me as a first time Rover user. He took such good care of Tyrion and I recommend him to any pet owner looking for a dependable person to take care of your pet. Thank you, Jonathan!

Our senior cat is on meds and ill. We had a 4-day trip planned months before we found out that she had a jaw tumor. We canceled all other overnight trips except that one (nonrefundable) because Dominick is the only sitter we trusted enough to administer her medication and give us peace of mind. He is great and I highly recommend him for cat sitting.

There are no words for the debt of gratitude I owe to Nicholas for the way he cared for my dogs. I have two elderly dogs, 13 and 15, and I was out of the country for over a week. I never worried for a second knowing they were in his care. He cared for them as if they were his own with attentiveness, love and genuine concern for their wellbeing. While I was away, my 15 year old rescue Diamond, had a flare up with her eye that could have progressed into a catastrophic ulcer and resulted in permanent, devastating consequences. Nicholas recognized that she needed additional care, stayed with her beyond the time he was originally scheduled to, took her to the vet, got her what she needed, and made sure she was safe and cared for. I was halfway across the world and had absolute peace of mind knowing my dogs were with someone who was paying close attention and would do whatever was necessary for them. I am beyond grateful. Nicholas went above and beyond in every possible way and I cannot recommend him more highly. My dogs were more than cared for, they were loved.

Victor is great! We reached out last minute for drop in visits twice a day and Victor was more than up for the task! He checked in on Yankee twice a day, fed Yankee, changed water, and walked him all in a 30 minute visit, and twice a day! Great option if you’re going out of town but want to keep your pet’s daily routine!
Brandon is an exceptional sitter! He got back to me in a timely manner even when i requested his services a bit last minute. My German Shepherd pup loves him and I feel comfortable leaving him in his care. He kept us updated if anything happened and even took some cute photos of our kitty at home. If you’re looking for a trustworthy sitter, Brandon is your guy!
