“Doechii "hanging" with Ivy. She was kind, full of patience, respectful, and super friendly. She watched my dog for 10 days while I went out of the country. I felt confident that my pet was being taken care of and didn't ever worry about her wellbeing while being far away. She was super respectful of my home and sent me pictures often. I will definitely be booking her again!!! Doechii and I are so glad that we met her.”
“Sofya was excellent! She’s super friendly and stayed in communication with me the entire time—sending cute pics and updates. On top of that, she left my home super tidy. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter! :)”
“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.”
“ren took great care of my very energetic dog. i felt totally comfortable and received several updates throughout the day. thank you SO much for taking such good care of my girl 🌸”
“Sophia was amazing staying at our place with our 2 dogs and cat. Everyone was well taken care of, especially our dog that requires epilepsy pills 3x per day. And she left the place so clean you wouldn’t have known anybody had stayed there. Will 100% be using her services again, couldn’t be happier.”
“Loved Yaisa, she was so nice to the pups and she send updates. She did everything right and did everything that we had asked for and more. We will totally get her again for another sitting. THANK YOU so much!”
“Ariel is a stellar sitter, kept me updated and even gave my dog a bath cus he accidentally rolled on some poop at the park. And my dog is no small dog. also cared for my cat, brushed his hair and the whole 9.”
“Anna is truly amazing! She would pick up on my kittie habits and communicate with me very promptly when she feels there may be an issue - no matter how small or big. I really appreciated her attention to detail. Overall, Anna's communication is so timely, clear, and thoughtful. And I think that's a strength like none other. My cats also loved her, I don't think they even missed me. I normally feel bad asking the sitters to send me pictures because personally I think it could be a tad bit annoying, but Anna would send me pics when they are being particularly cute or show me how my cats are cuddling with her non-stop! TL;DR, I am traveling for a wedding next weekend, and I already reached out to her to see if she could help me again. I hope Anna can be my kitties' loving and caring aunt forever! Please don't move from NYC!”
“The perfect sitter! Instantly made us feel at ease, great communicator, sent lots of wonderful photos during his stay. Reliable and we could tell our pets were in good hands. Would definitely hire again!”
“Andrea is a fantastic sitter. She took such good care of Melvin while I was away. She sent lots of updates and photos. She also left my apartment perfectly clean. I highly recommend Andrea!”
“This is the first time we have used Rover and we highly recommend choosing Lucy to watch your pet! She is a great communicator, sending updates by photos and videos. Through her messages we were able to see how attentive and caring she was, which in turn allowed us to know he was in good hands. Lucy exercised our pet several times a day and even took him to the dog park to play with others. Additionally, she took care of our home and kept it in pristine condition. We have only positive things to say about Lucy. She is a pet sitter that will go above and beyond to care for your pet!”
“Asher was great! He was a good fit for our dog Chrome and made sure to give him all the cuddles and love. We were out of town for a couple nights and Asher was respectful of our home and Chrome’s needs.”
“Atxiri was fantastic! She was very attentive to my cat Phoenix. He usually hides for most people but she made him feel comfortable enough to be near her from room to room and even to come out and play! She sent lots of great pics, was punctual and communicative throughout. Also, my place was cleaner than I left it as I came back. I will definitely book her again. 😄”
“It was amazing! Adriana stayed at our place with Pelusa for ten days. We came back and Pelusa was happier than ever, in perfect shape, active, spectacular. Pelusa is a very demanding border collie, and it demands both physical and mental activity. Adriana was up to the task. She also kept us updated with pics and asked us if she had any question. She was sweet and caring with Pelusa and you could tell from his reaction when she came back to return the keys. A great experience, couldn't recommend her more. Thanks! ¡Mil gracias!”
“Jasmine is wonderful with our senior dog. She knows how to administer medicines, give lots of attention, and follow any written instructions. She's also a good communicator, prompt with her arrivals, and flexible with her duties.”
“Second time of many having Chris help us out with our puppy! We booked him for house sitting while we enjoyed a night off. We always have peace of mind having him puppy sit knowing he can handle all the energy our pup throws at him.”
“Analucia was prompt, great to communicate with and most importantly my pups loved her! She sent tons of cute photos and videos throughout. Will definitely be using her to watch my dog with severe separation anxiety again. Highly recommended!”
“Isabel stayed with Gaston while we were on vacation this last week and we came home to a happy, healthy, and safe dog! She followed all of his instructions perfectly and kept us updated the whole time with pictures and videos-He was so happy to be in his own space with her taking care of him!

Tenzin was so good with Lucy and Hana! Very gentle and patient. Made sure both got enough play. Lucy really bonded with her in a short time. We received photos and communication regularly so had nothing to worry about. She kept the house nice and clean. Absolute pleasure. Hope to have her back!
Ashly was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! They can definitely be a handful at times, but she followed all of my instructions very thoroughly, from their specific feeding schedule to the way they go potty in the yard and even how to clean up afterward. I really appreciated how thorough, nice, and attentive she was, and it showed. I came home to happy pups and a spotless house! She also kept me updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. This was the longest amount of time I left the dogs. I’m so grateful for the care she gave my dogs and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and loving sitter.
Andrea took great care of Nala and Peggy. She was attentive to their needs, gave them lots of pets and cuddles and kept us up to date on how they were doing. She was even able to clip Peggy’s nails, which has always proven to be difficult. She left my house in impeccable condition as well, and was very respectful of my space. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her take care of my cats again.
Janet is wonderful! I can’t recommend her enough. She watched my two dogs over the weekend and I felt at ease the entire time! She sent lots of photos and videos. She left the house in perfect condition and the dogs absolutely loved her! Really, she went over and beyond in every way. I will 100% be using her in the future. Thank you Janet!!

Tracey did an incredible job taking care of our kitten, Poppy. She sent over frequent updates, including pictures and videos daily! She also was very understanding when Poppy had an accident, and we came home to a spotless apartment. We’d highly recommend booking Tracey for taking care of your cat!
I could not be more happy with Alyssa’s services. She cat sat for my 7 month old kittens during the July 4th weekend for 5 days. She kept in touch with me everyday on the status of my kittens. She continuously sent me pictures multiple times per day and constantly assured me that my boys were healthy and doing well. Furthermore, she managed to bond with one of my shy kittens and kept me updated on how the progression of their connection. She ensured my kittens were fed in the morning and evening, and gave them treats throughout the day. Lastly, she made sure to play with my kittens throughout her stay, keeping them entertained throughout the cat sitting visit. If you need a cat sitter while going out of town, definitely hire Alyssa. She’s awesome!
Analucia (along with her adorable pup!) took care of our dog while we were away. She sent lots of pictures and videos of their walks and snuggle time. When we came home, our apartment was clean and our dog was healthy, happy, and utterly exhausted from all the fun. Highly recommend!
Cathy recently watched our cat and dog and also house-sat for us — she was amazing! Not only did she take wonderful care of our “kids,” but I think our apartment was actually cleaner than we left it. She sent lots of photos and updates, checked in regularly, and made sure we felt connected the whole time. Before the stay, she even offered to come by to see our place and meet the pets — they warmed up to her faster than they ever have with anyone new! We immediately felt at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Cathy clearly has a special connection with animals, and we’ll absolutely be using her again.
Tashi was a total professional and our dog loved spending time with her. She came to our rescue with a very last minute booking for in home care and she took wonderful care of our golden retriever. Tashi is an excellent communicator and the perfect person to look after your fur baby. We couldn't recommend her more highly. Thank you Tashi!
