“Another great visit with Elizabeth for our 2 cats! We are moving out of the area and are devastated we will no longer have her after 5+ years caring for the kitties 😿😿❤️”
About: I am a animal lover who has cared for many different animals over my lifetime. From a young age I have owned dogs, cats, birds, and many more! I enjoy being around animals and have taken care of pets both in home and while owners are away! I am a happy soul and would love to meet and care for your pet! I work full time in NYC in and can do walks in the afternoon lunch hour most weekdays. Weekends are always free for more walk and play time. Willing to adjust and accommodate with your schedule! Always willing to do the best care for your pet. If it’s walks outside, playtime inside and everything else, it would be a thrill for me to meet and care for your pet.
“Jacqueline was amazing! She was so easy to get in touch with, super communicative, and was right on time for the drop-in. She sent pictures and videos playing with my cat. She has a clear love for animals and treated my cat with kindness. Will definitely book again!!”
“This is the first time we've used Rover and previously always had the benefit of a family member to watch Cinni when away. With only a couple of weeks, we suddenly needed to find an alternative. After scouring reviews on Rover we contacted Lisa M, who very fortunately for us was available. Lisa M arrived promptly at the schedule time each day to care for Cinni and provided thorough updates that quickly set our minds at ease and provided us with some great photos of our kitty. Furthermore, Lisa M was able to successfully medicate Cinni each visit, and those cat owners whose pets require medication know how challenging this can be. Based on our experience enthusiastically recommend Lisa M for anyone else who needs a cat sitter and will be contacting her as soon as I schedule our next trip to ensure she is available to care for Cinni.”
“Lauren was terrific. Reliable and punctual. Excellent communication. Really connected with our dog during on her first visit. A pleasure to deal with. Will definitely use her again.”
“Ana was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond in taking care of my cat while I was away on vacation. I would absolutely recommend her to others and plan to request her again next time I travel!”
“Rachel is wonderful :) My two rescues can be quite reactive and skittish to just about any change in lifestyle. She's more than willing to jump right in & find what works for everyone. I will be using her as a regular sitter from here on out!”
“Hannah was such a great pal to our cat Jeffrey while we were away! She is very communicative and responsible, and we’ll definitely be contacting her for pet sitting next time we go out of town.”
“Samantha and Jerry were fantastic. Zara, our cat, was happy and well cared for when we came home. We got great pictures of her being brushed, eating, and drinking throughout their visits. Would 100% recommend.”
“Karen was a pleasure! so communicative, and was able to provide updates immediately! appreciate all the pictures as well to see Dusty having fun while I am stuck at work!”
About: Over the course of my time I've taken care of and lived with goldfish, parakeets, a big old mutt, several great cats...and chickens. Considering that I grew up in Manhattan, I'd say that if that doesn't account for exeptional qualifications to love and care for our furry (or scaly, or feathered) friends, I'm not sure what could! Our kids are off exploring the world as newly minted adults leaving my wife and I with two finicky cats. With a little extra time on my hands I thought it would be a good idea to help other pet owners out to work all day or preferably, gone on a much needed vacation but looking for someone to check in on their furry loved ones. I freelance from home as a designer, so I typically have time at both ends of the day to extend a helping hand to anyone who needs a little extra care for their pet. We have 2 cats at home of whom I am the primary caretaker of, so adding a visit to a neighbor in need would be easy. I will follow all instructions and care indications you give for your pet(s) to the letter and provide pictures of completion if you request it.
“Ozzy was an amazing sitter for my four cats! My girlfriend and I felt at ease while away visiting family knowing that he was checking in on our cats, and even giving my diabetic cat his meds. All the cats loved Ozzy and I would highly recommend booking with him!”
“Anna was a wonderful sitter for our two cats. She communicated clearly and consistently, sending updates and photos after each visit. She was patient and attentive to both of our kitties’ individual needs, showing genuine care and compassion. She truly went above and beyond—we highly recommend!”
About: I will treat any pet as if they were my own. Pets are a part of our family and I believe in treating them as such. I have cared for all ages of animals, from day old kittens to senior dogs and cats. Nothing is too much for me to do! My weekly routine typically only consists of being a student, and taking care of my pets. However, it is currently summer, and with school being out I have open availability! My home has a fenced in front and backyard area where my dogs would play. My cats have a screened in catio attached to the back area of my house! Both my dogs and cats are fed a mix of raw and kibble food.
“Alec was phenomenal and took good care of my pups. He met my dogs on a meet and greet with sincerity and professionalism. Even contacted me to let me know that one of the dogs ate the other dogs food lol.”

Garden City cat parents share their Rover experiences
Elizabeth is a super sitter. Max and Sunshine took to her immediately . She is competent and professional and attends to details and instructions about both the cats and house management . She has a very pleasant personality and I have already booked her for my next trip.
Juliana is the best, I trust her completely with my 2 cats, Nellie & Clark! She has been watching my cats since Clark was a kitten and now he is 2 years old. He can be high energy and difficult towards my older 10 year old cat Nellie, but Juliana handles them with such love and patience. She is able to separate them during feeding times and distract Clark with playtime! She is always prompt and goes above and beyond to ensure I feel at ease that the cats are doing well while I’m away. When Juliana is watching them, I never worry!
Jacqueline was fantastic with our cats while we were away. We have a few shy ones who Jacqueline won over in short order. You could tell how well cared for they were while we were gone. We’ve had other sitters who we see the cats sleeping every visit. Here Jacqueline had them up and playing! I think they were sad to see us come home ha. Thank you so much Jacqueline for giving us such a wonderful peace of mind.
I’m a very nervous pet owner, so leaving my cats alone while I’m on vacation is always a stressful experience. But Oluademi did an amazing job taking care of my cats and helped put me at ease every step of the way. She followed my (admittedly pretty complicated) instructions perfectly and with attention to detail. She often went the extra mile to spend time with them and reassure me that they were doing just fine, so I could enjoy my vacation. I would absolutely recommend her!
Nicole was an absolutely fantastic catsitter! She took wonderful care of my cat, who was happy and well-fed throughout our time away. The litter box was kept clean, meals and treats were provided, and Nicole kept me updated constantly with messages and adorable photos. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such capable hands. Highly recommend!
Lauryn was so nice and attentive to feeding my cat and fish. She always kindly asked if there was anything more she should do, and communicated with me every day to tell me when she was going to stop by. She always took pictures of the food she refilled during each visit. Thank you Lauryn!
