“Anna was awesome! Very communicative and my dogs (and rabbit) loved having her stay with them. I was out of the country and she made sure I was updated the whole time. I felt very comfortable and relaxed :) we will definitely be booking with Anna again!”
“Chris was fantastic with my girls! I appreciate his excellent communication, the kindness he showed both my dogs, especially my most sensitive girl. He played tug of war, hung out with them in the back yard, sent me tons of pictures and updated me multiple times a day so I didn't worry. He also watered my plants, brought in the mail, set out my trash and recycling, and left my house clean. Chris is a trustworthy and all around fabulous house and dog sitter!”
“Oswald was so incredibly helpful to me and my dog, Bear! Since Bear has mobility challenges, I enrolled him in rehab for physical therapy. Not only did Oswald help me with the lifting and carrying of Bear, he even generously drove us to and from the rehab center. His time, care, and attention meant a lot to me and is deeply appreciated. Thank you so much!”
“Shamra was outstanding! She regularly communicated with me while I was gone. She sent videos and pictures, and she loved on my three dogs! Knowing that she was caring on my dogs let me enjoy my short getaway. Very dependable. I plan to use Shamra again.”
“Felt very comfortable with Kyla. Good level of communication.”
“Kelsey was always on time which is very important to me. She responds promptly to my texts and is easygoing and accomondating. Excellent experience after so many disappointing ones.”
“As expected, Imani took great care of Lucky and Shelby! We came back to two happy pups and had peace of mind our entire trip knowing they were in great hands.”
“Samantha was great! We had an unique petcare request and she was exceptionally accommodating. She sent us updates and photos and our little guy was well taken care of. We highly recommend her to other Rover-subs.”
About: I have had over 7 years of experience taking care of my own dogs, as well as dog-sitting/walking for family and friends, so I decided to take my skills and passion for dogs to Rover. I have also recently fostered and trained a one year old (and 80 pound untrained) foster puppy at college this past year! I am such an attentive, responsive, and caring dog lover and will always adapt to owners’ requests! This summer I will be freshly graduated from college, waiting to start my full time job in August, so my schedule is completely free and I am available to take care of your pups round the clock!!! I have a couple weekend trips planned here and there but my summer schedule is otherwise wide open! I am super respectful of the property and privacy of other’s I have dog and cat set for numerous friends and family before and will always leave your space cleaner than I left it! As someone who has hired and used dog-sitters in the past, I understand how much trust it takes to allow someone else to take care of your precious pup, so I will be sure to keep a constant line of communication about how your dog is doing whether it’s just me letting them out to go to the bathroom or a full dog-sitting stay!
“Jacqueline was great!!! It was my first time leaving my baby and she made me feel so comfortable and sent me pics and updates throughout the day.”
“Amanda was great! She stayed at my house for 2 nights to watch my dogs, Missy & Rebel. Prior to that, she offered to do a meet and greet and came to my house to meet us and go over everything. The dogs loved her as soon as she met her, they have a keen sense for fellow dog lovers. This was my first time leaving my dogs with a stranger but Amanda sent me pictures throughout her stay which allowed me to relax on my vacation. I will def use her again, and highly recommend.”
About: Hi! I have always been a life long dog lover. Having grown up with four dogs of my own and eventually adopting my own as an adult, as well as caring for others dogs, you can feel comfortable with your dogs in my car. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. (I grew up with Boston Terriers and Cane Corso Mastiffs!) I can do overnight stays in your home, drop ins, feeding, walks, bathing, medication administration, etc (just ask!) I truly have always been a massive dog lover and while I don’t have any dogs of my own now, being able to be around dogs and help care for them is such a joy for me! I am a full time Teacher so evenings and weekends are when I have more availability. I also have extended time available during the larger school breaks. Despite working full time, I can do overnight stays in your home depending on the days and location. If you need a specific time/day, reach out and ask and I can try to make it work! Because of my own territorial only child, Willow, I cannot offer services in my house. That said, in your home, I will keep the environment exactly how you want it to be. I want to ensure that your pets environment is the same as always so they feel comfortable. I am very adaptable and want you and your pet to feel comfortable!
“Kloe was a great house sitter! She kept us updated and sent various pictures. My dog and cat were both happy in her company! I would book again!”
About: I've taken care of a series of dogs from a Jack Russell Terrier, to a Pit bull, to a Husky and Pit bull mix and enjoyed them all. All of the dogs have stayed overnight and their owner are more than happy. I recently had a dog who it was his first time away from his owner so I had to build his trust. Within 24 hrs he was comfortable, jumping around with me, licking me, and making sure I was always near him. I tend to keep the owners up to date with pictures or videos if they would like and they always come back. I am a college student who works from home part time. Outside of that, I go to the gym and attend zoom meetings for my extracurricular activities. This gives me a lot of time to dedicate to the dogs and make sure they are well at all times. I have a fenced yard and security cameras at both the front door and back door as do all my neighbors. A variety of treats are always available for trust and training purposes. I make sure that someone is always home so your dog isn't alone, although I'm more than likely at home.
About: I've taken care of dogs and other animals since I was 8 years old. I currently have a fish tank, plants, a turtle, and two dogs. I groomed dogs for 4 years and was in animal care for 2 years. I've trained my two dogs, one three years old and the other a puppy. I've taken care of all sorts of dog breeds with various personality during my time as a groomer. Taking many tests and modules to stay updated on dog safety and care. This has prepared me to inspect the dog's health and condition and also be keener on any abnormalities. While the animal care helped me on what procedures to take when a situation has occurred. I will continue educating myself on better practices to make sure they get the best treatment. I am planning on being certified on dog CPR (this may have been done by the time you read this). Some background about me. I really started to get into taking care of pets when I was introduced to my first pet fish, and it didn't go well the first time as I had no experience as an 8-year-old. That's when I started to do research before, I accepted any pets. When I was ready for another fish, I got into the hobby of building aquariums and was constantly trying to build the perfect environment for them. Once I had a sustainable tank, I then moved on to taking care of hamsters. This is where I learned the importance of safety measures and security as the hamsters were great escape artist. Finally, when I had my own place, I adopted my first dog. This is when I really learn everything that dog sitting, and dog boarding wasn't able to, because I took care of mostly older dogs and fully trained dogs. Then I got another addition to the family, a puppy and learn even more things. Throughout all this, I had also taken care of friends and family cats. I even had to save a pet freshwater turtle from being released into the ocean because the pet parent wasn't able to continue supporting her. I still have her to this day. I'm currently working on a project which doesn't require me to be anywhere but home, so I will be able to take on any task 24/7. I have a fenced yard, and two doors before leaving from the house. I always keep an eye on the dogs and when I can't I have a large dog playpen and a large crate to limit them from doing anything dangerous. I have a camera in the yard and inside the house to keep an eye on them if I'm in another room. All sharp objects are placed in cabinets and drawers in my home. I have two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby happy and entertained. I have a grooming lead to help me assist the dog to go to certain places if necessary. I have dog water bottles for long walks. For small dogs I have a dog backpack in case they get tired on a walk or if the streets have hazardous material or is very hot. For large dogs I have a wagon. I will make sure to get a detailed note from you so that I know the best course of action for each situation. With every problem I will make sure to find a proper solution before it happens.
“Cynthia watched my pup overnight and took such good care of him. I felt at ease knowing he was not alone and with someone who genuinely likes dogs (even old cranky ones like mine). Thank you so much Cynthia!!”
“Bella took care of our 1 year old pug Stella for 5 nights and did a great job. Our dog was definitely comfortable around her. We would recommend her!”
“Brooke was great. Dogs were happy and calm. Would highly recommend”
About: Having 2 dogs of my own, I know how much clients/dogs owners care for their babies. They need to be fed, exercised, trained and taken care of as if they were little kids. That's what I do with my own 2 dogs and that's what I would do with any other dog under my care. My goal is to create a trusting and safe environment for the dog and return him or her to their owner as happy as ever.
About: Experienced pet owner for 13+ I can play with your dog most of the day/night I don’t mind how old or young I don’t mind big or small Very punctual and reliable! I currently work as a DSP in Port Washington Monday-Friday from 9:15am-3:15pm. I’m available after 4pm and free all day weekends! Please remember to book in advance! Thanks :) As I do not care for pets in my home at this time- I can deal with any circumstances to keep your pet healthy and safe in your home!

“Hello, my name is Denise Torres and Leida is one of the most caring and loving people that I know especially when it comes to animals in general especially dogs. She owns two shitzu-chihuahuas named Rocky and Heaven. She treats them like her own children. Aside from that she is amazing at training dogs. She loves walking her dogs daily to keep them healthy and stays on top of their health and grooms them herself. You wouldn't regret having her as a dog caregiver because any dog would feel love and warmth when in her arms and care. She would do anything to make sure any dog feels comfortable and protected. You can't go wrong with her, she has helped train other dogs and has helped others raise their dogs as well.”
20. Ekaterina T.
“I have known Ekaterina for several years. She loves animals and has several dogs of her own. She is a very caring and loving dog owner. She has always been very careful with the health and safety of her own pets and she will definitely maintain the same standards if she is given the opportunity to become a dog sitter.”
