“As always, Gwin is a wonder. This time, she helped keep cats cool during a heatwave, in addition to their regular care, and flagged that two of my AC units had broken! She made sure the cats were comfortable, and the building sent maintenance immediately to fix the AC. Really grateful for how much Gwin cares about my pets as if they were her own.”
“Payton is the best !! Not only is she reliable, professional, detail-oriented, and communicative but she has that extra “spark” which comes only from being a true animal lover. I could feel her genuine care and enjoyment come through in every interaction from our initial phone call to her daily summary messages and photos while caring for them. That gave me so much peace of mind and made it easier to be away because I knew my babies were getting a real cat lover’s attention back home! I especially recommend her for people with shy cats who may be nervous about leaving them in someone else’s care—Payton has such a patient and gentle presence that even my shyest kitty felt safe with her.”
“Alexa was wonderful! She took the time to come and meet us and our kitties before we left and took such good care of them. We got photos and updates each day and she even worked with us to change the dates we needed a sitter. Will absolutely rebook with Alexa again!”
“Jasmine is very responsive and caring. It is clear that she loves cats, and I feel relieved knowing that she’s there as an option the next time we’re away and need someone to check in on our cat, Elphie.”
“Wen was great with our cats and respectful of our home. She provides thoughtful updates and is very communicative. Would definitely recommend!”
“Came home to a happy healthy cat. So grateful to have found a reliable, consiencous sitter to watch my fur baby while my hubby and I took a well needed break from work. Hannah was very commicative and sent updates after every visit, which I really appreciated. Could not have asked for more from a sitter. Will definitely hire again!”
“Steven was excellent and conscientious, responding to my request within the hour and agreeing to meet up prior to my trip so I could introduce him to my two kitties and their “routine.” He followed my instructions perfectly and sent cute photos daily to show me how my dynamic duo was doing. Will definitely reach out to Steven again in the future!”
“Phil was the best! He was very attentive, kind, and communicative. Mylo was very lucky to have Phil as a catsitter. Will definitely work with him again in the future, and I highly recommend him to everyone!”
“Emily was amazing with our cats! She sent so many updates and pictures. She made sure to befriend both of them even though one is very shy and she made them so comfortable. We will definitely make sure to book her again because the girls loved their time with her!”
“Michele was a total life-saver for me and my kitty Kovi when my pet care plans fell through after I’d already left for Christmas travel. She was able to squeeze in daily stops for Kovi along her (no doubt) busy route. Not to mention, this was during the polar vortex of December 2022. She was so communicative and kind to send multiple pics and vids during every single visit. I came home to a very happy and unphased kitty—which always puts me at ease. Michele made my worries disappear, and I will definitely be reaching out to her again. Thanks again Michele!!!”
About: I was a volunteer supervisor at the same no kill NYC rescue organization weekly from 2007- 2020. I have cared for dogs and cats of all types with all kinds of issues. I have worked as a dog walker and watched cats prior to Rover. I have fostered and owned both dogs and cats. I have watched up to 5 dogs at any one time in my own home. My current senior dog is petrified of NYC and I do everything it takes to make her walks as pleasurable as possible. I truly love them all. I work FT from home and I take care of my neigbors dogs and cats pro bono. I cannot think of anything else that I would rather do. This isn't work to me. I can do Fridays, weekends and evenings (any day of the week) and depending on your needs, I may be able to flex my schedule around your pets and do weekdays as well. I will follow the client's instructions for their pets. I know how important it is to take care of a pet per the owner's instructions. I will only alert the client if I am not clear on the instructions or detect some sort of danger.

“I highly recommend Lemon! She did an amazing job looking after our tiny Chihuahua. She was kind, patient, and very responsible. We will seek her out for our next pet sitting need.”
“Aiyesha was wonderful. We are very anxious cat parents and she set our minds at ease immediately on meeting her. We felt very comfortable leaving our cats and home in her care. She sent daily videos to reassure us that our cats were getting enough interaction, love, and care. She even handled a cat poop situation with aplomb. On returning, we found our apartment cleaner than we left it. Would book again!”
“Allison is wonderful. Lotus loves her. Very punctual and goes an extra mile in making sure lotus is well comfortable. Followed all of instructions and kept in touch sharing the info regularly. Would definitely hire her again.”

Vanessa S.
“Vanessa is first and foremost an animal lover. She is a certified trainer and has volunteered many hours of her time working with rescue organizations to find these furry friends their forever homes. Vanessa has also fostered some of these while they were in transition to their new homes. I have known Vanessa all of her adult life and she is absolutely trustworthy, dependable and someone who follows through with everything she does to an effective conclusion. Any animal would be more than well cared for under her purview and enjoy her enthusiasm for their care.”

I’ve booked Yiming a few times and she always does a great job! My cat is 20 years old and I have such peace of mind knowing Yiming will be checking in on her.
Received very quick communication and confirmation of booking. My cat that is very shy and doesn’t like people greeted her multiple times during my short trip away. Will be using her again!
Michelle is a super friendly and loving sitter for our cat! You can truly loves and understands cats. Also she had great communication and gave regular updates with photos. I couldn't recommend her enough.
Aisha took excellent care of our cats this summer. The cats were lavished with attention and we are grateful for the piece of mind we had knowing such a responsible and kind person was looking after them while we were out of town.
Marissa went above and beyond and made me feel super comfortable that things were taken care of while we were out of town.
Katie was great! Very responsive and flexible with meeting up beforehand for a key exchange - especially because this was last minute. I felt confident that Capella was well taken care of. Thank you Katie!!!
Dominick took great care of our cat Sylvie when a last minute need arose! He was easy to schedule with and very quick to respond to messages, plus he sent us lots of great updates about Sylvie while we were gone. He took great care of her and we will definitely use Dominick again in the future!
Mikey was so easy to work with and took care of my kitties while we were on vacation. Totally recommend him
Kristina was wonderfully patient and kind with my cats once again. She’s a lovely person who truly loves animals.

Put our minds at ease to know that Madison was checking on our kitties while we were away. Would definitely re-book!
Emiky is a real saint. She was there for our two babies even when the elevators in the building was not working due to the flooding. We are so very grateful to her
Casey was a great caretaker of my little cat for the long weekend I was gone! She was communicative, punctual and left me lots of pictures. She cleaned his litter and gave him oral medications. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!
Came home to a happy healthy cat. So grateful to have found a reliable, consiencous sitter to watch my fur baby while my hubby and I took a well needed break from work.

Wen did such a wonderful job taking care of our two cats! Super responsive and responsible- we will definitely be rebooking :)
Yuan took such great care of my elderly cat Annie when I was out of town. Annie is very very shy and does not warm up to people often, but Yuan seems to have the magic touch :). She was responsible, responsive, and overall great to work with. I felt very at ease knowing Annie was in good hands. Absolutely recommend Yuan’s services!
Ashley is the best! Incredibly caring, attentive, communicative, and considerate. Thank you so much for your help!
Phil is such an incredibly kind and caring pet sitter! He was an amazing communicator and we looked forward to all of his pet updates and pictures. We had a pretty long instruction guide as we have four pets (including kittens), and he navigated everything with enthusiasm and ease. Definitely recommend Phil!!🐶🐱
Symba was an exceptional host. He has great communication skills and I could tell by the photos that Leo was super happy to see him every day! There was also little snafu with my roommate missing a flight and still being in the apartment when Symba arrived, and Symba was very professional about the situation. Thank you for that
