“Laudianny was absolutely fantastic! I was so anxious to leave my dogs for a few days but she made the experience seamless. Great communication, super kind and each pic I got the boys looked so happy. Would highly recommend.”

“Nicole is reliable, considerate and a great communicator. We have worked with her a few times now and we don’t have to worry about our cats because we know she’ll take such good care of them!”

About: My name is Jacob and I love dogs! I’ve been walking them and training them since I was seven-years-old. I have experience with dogs both big and small as well as breeds such as pit-bulls, mastiffs, and labradors. I’m comfortable with any type of dog. As for my previous experience, I used to walk dogs in my neighborhood in New York City where I grew up. I also love cats! I have a nice fluff-ball named Deebo. I love the little guys! I have references and will provide them upon request. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work night shifts starting at 10:30pm (starting on May 18th) but I’ll be available during the day and evening. Mornings are best, but I’m flexible. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and will cherish your pet. I take pride in my work and will ensure that it will seem like I was never there.

About: I bring attentive, knowledgeable care tailored to your specific creature and their specific personality. I've been pet parent to dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes to my current Sheepadoodle — there's no dog size or personality that's too much or too little, IMHO. And my experience extends well beyond dogs — cats, snakes, farm animals 🐐, and more. I also happen to share my home with a ball python named Fettuccine Alfredo 🐍, who is a distinguished, low-drama fellow. As a plant parent, I will watch after yours indoor jungles, outdoor gardens, that one fiddle leaf fig you're nervous about. If you need someone who will actually look at your monstera and not just splash water in its general direction, that's me. (My avocado tree, grown from a pit, is thriving. I'm not taking questions.) Housesitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, basic training — I've got you. And if you're going away and need the whole ecosystem looked after, pets, plants, and all, I'd love to meet you. Pet care fits naturally into the rhythm of my week. My mornings are consistently free, which works well for walks and drop-in visits, and I have flexibility on Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends for longer stays or housesitting. On days when I'm teaching in the afternoons and evenings, I'm still available in the mornings — and I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I'm never stretched too thin across clients. This isn't something I'm squeezing in around a packed schedule — it's something I've made genuine room for. When I'm in your home for drop-in visits or housesitting, I treat it with the same care and attention I'd give my own. That means following your routines exactly as you've set them, keeping things tidy, and making sure your pets are comfortable and unstressed in their own environment. I take detailed notes at meet-and-greets so nothing gets missed while you're away. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and attentive to their individual energy and needs — a reactive dog gets a very different walk than a social butterfly, and I know the difference. I bring over thirty years of animal experience to reading body language and behavior, so I'm not caught off guard by much. My own home includes a ball python and two cats, so I'm well practiced in managing a multi-species household safely and calmly. I don't offer boarding, which means your dog's visit to my home would only ever be for a meet-and-greet in a low-key, relaxed setting. In any situation that feels off — health, behavior, anything — I err on the side of contacting you immediately and getting to a vet if needed. You'll never be left guessing.
“I’ve booked Alexandria twice now and hope to do so more in the future- what can I say, I feel secure and confident in her services. She's reliable and warm, so food with my beast. Super knowledgeable about cat behavior and full on helpful advice; thank you, Ali!”

About: Hi my name is Brandon. I was raised in New York and have owned a few dogs over the years. I have about 12 years of experience walking and sitting for different breeds of dogs including stubborn bulldogs, hyper huskies, large golden retrievers, etc. I'm available all days, mostly afternoons and nights. I'll walk in any weather conditions, whether it's snowing, raining or scorching hot. I will be sure to care for your dog and they are my own because I know how much they mean to you. I can run and play with your dog or I can take it easy. I will make sure to log and report any physical and behavioral changes I observe while on a walk or while pet sitting.
“Shelly has been checking on my doggie, few times per week on regular basis, for the past few weeks. She is very kind, caring, reliable and on time... My puppy has had some GI issues couple of times during this time and Shelly has been very caring for her. My little pooch luvs Shelly so much! she looks at the door, excited, looking for Shelly when ever I mention Shelly’s name! I’ve been feeling really at ease and peaceful, when I know she is coming to check on my doggie. Thank you very much Shelly :)”

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.
“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!”

“Fallon was a fantastic cat sitter for our cat, Yuki. She was professional and flexible, accepting our last-minute request and handling a slight mix-up we caused with ease. She sent us daily photo updates, which made us feel completely at ease during our two-week vacation. We came home to a happy cat and highly recommend her!”

About: I have 5 years of experience taking care of pets. I have 2 dogs and one cat. I like to play with them and take them for a walk I can take care of him from two to 4 hours a day 7 days a week play with them for a walk ….y n I can take care of the pet in my house or in the client's house as it is more comfortable for the client or the pet

“Very pleased with the care and attention Tasha gave to my babies. I left detailed notes to which she followed. Highly recommend Tasha to care for your furbabies.”

About: I have consistently taken care of multiple cats for the same family, mostly feeding and cleaning after them. I also have experience dog sitting, including daily walks and check ins every 2-4 hours. I am great with keeping everything on schedule and track not only when pet sitting but house sitting. I am pretty flexible during the week to meet client needs in their schedule. Depending on how far away the client is, care earlier in the morning would have to be talked about but possible. I exclusively pet sit in the clients home, and I am very good with care schedules and routines. I am able to kennel animals and adhere to any other special requests to make my clients more comfortable.

“⸻ Let me just say—after my first two dog sitters, I almost gave up on this app 🙂. But I’m so glad I found Victor. He is incredibly kind and truly cares. My dog absolutely loves him—he wags his tail and gets just as excited to see Victor as he does to see me, which says everything. Victor is also very reliable. He doesn’t just stick to the exact booked time or show up late like others. He often arrives a few minutes early and sometimes stays a little longer, which I really appreciate. It shows how genuine and dedicated he is. I also have a camera at home, since my dog can’t tell me about his day—and it’s clear that Victor treats him with care and attention. That gives me a lot of peace of mind. He will definitely be my to-go dog sitter moving forward!”

“Brionna is AMAZING! I have a 2 year old cat that I recently adopted and was nervous as this was the first time I would ever be away from my kitty but Brionna’s calm and kind demeanor quickly put me at ease! She was so communicative leading up to the visit and throughout. Her daily photos and remarks let me know that Tortellini was safe, cared for and comfortable! Highly recommend and I’ll definitely be asking her to take care of Tortellini again :)”

“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: 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 been taking care of dogs since being a child. What sets me apart from other sitters is my motivation and love for the caring of animals. I’m currently only in college taking only a few classes, so I’ll have lots of time to play and walk with your pup! I live in an apartment, but live right next to the infamous Crotona Park, so your pup will always have a fun, big, and interesting park to walk in when they’re staying with me.

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!

Kristal was AMAZING! She went above and beyond, locating an Amazon package with litter and food delivered to the wrong apartment. She took wonderful pictures that really put us at ease! She also got our very shy cats to say hello and took great care of our chickens!!

This is the 5th time we have asked Keissy to come and feed/ check on our cats while we’re away and as always, she was amazing. This time, though, our automatic kitty litter was malfunctioning and Keissy helped us troubleshoot it. I am super grateful and our cats are too. Thanks, Keissy!

Let’s begin by saying I’ve never left my dogs for more than a few days and if so usually with just my mom. I had to go away for a family vacay and was so anxious as one of my doggies has to take his heart medication every 12hrs. Being away for 7 days while everyone I trusted was on this trip with me and thank god I came across Laudianny she was AMAZING! She was puntual and amazing with my babies. She was so good with link and his medicine and so loving with Lily 💕 all my dogs loved her. I will 100% be booking with her again!
Dominick is the most conscientious sitter we ever had. Our 16-year-old cat is ill and on medication, but we had to leave her for 3 days for a family wedding. I never would have if not for Dominick. We trust him completely and he was there for her and more. He administered her steroid, sent photos, and even offered to spend extra time with her for our piece of mind. I strongly recommend him if you are in need of a cat sitter.
