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.
“Elizabeth was amazing! She was so kind and help put our mind at ease about leaving our kitten alone for the first time with her initial meet and greet. Her communication is amazing! She always sent lots of pics/vids during her visits, and it was clear that Meeko loved her. She was also very accommodating when he needed to get meds last minute. Would love to have her visit us again!”
“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.”
“Samantha was so great with Ofelia. I have a moody cat and she was so patient and sweet to her. She would be on time every visit and send me pictures every single time. Quick to respond and super responsable. She even went above and beyond on many other things. Can’t recommend her enough 🫶🏼🐱”
“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.”
“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.”
“Esperanza is A M A Z I N G. I had a last minute trip I had to take and she was able to accomodate me last minute. Her communication was amazing, always sent me pictures and texts during each visit. I will 100000% be using her for anything involving my 2 animals going forward!”
“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!”
“In a last minute pinch, while attending a funeral, I used Rover for the first time. Caroline was quick to respond, so warm and generous, and took great care of Luna! I received so many photos and she took her for two walks when all I asked for was one. Thank you, Caroline!!”
“Alec was amazing with my girl! He is so kind and extremely responsive, making me and my fur baby feel comfortable and confident! I can’t say enough great things about him!”
“Railya was such a responsive sitter and really put our minds at ease while we were away. I really appreciate her time with our cat, and I was confident our cat was in good hands. I would gladly recommend her any time.”
“We are incredibly grateful to Karen for taking such wonderful care of our two dogs during our vacation through drop-in visits at the house. This enabled them to stay where they were comfortable and not be boarded. Karen was both professional and friendly, making us feel completely at ease while we were away. She was in contact with photos and summaries of visits which gave us peace of mind. She fed them, let them out, and engaged them in play. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dogs, and they loved her. We will certainly be booking her services again in the future. Thank you, Karen, for your outstanding care!”
“Kloe is my go-to sitter. She always goes above an beyond. My cat is not easy to deal with and Kloe has always been so kind to her. She even took her for a walk once(cuz’ my cat loves that). Couldn’t recommend enough 🫶🏼”

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.
Elizabeth was superb. Attentive to my cats and kept me in the loop with photos and informatuve updates. My cats’ relaxed, secure demeanor after her week-long series if visits filled me with confidence. I will happily book her again. lovely and responsible person whose care servicesI highly recommend .
Esperanza was great to work with! I asked her if I can pay her to comd the night before the booking on extremely short notice to meet myself and my bernedoodle, and she was able to do so which was fantastic. She did two drop in visits during the day while I was away and did a wonderful job and followed all the instructions I gave her.
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!
