“I highly recommend Josephine!! Super communicative and you can tell she really cares for dogs. 100% will continue to work with her as long as she wants to work with us! Thank you :)”
“Carson was very patient with me as I sorted out my schedule. She came highly recommended from the references she provided. She cared for my elderly dog, Penny, including administering a complicated regimen of medication. I would hire her again!”
“I’ve had the privilege of having Monique stay in my apartment with my dog several times now and I can never say enough positive things! She sends frequent daily updates with photos, is always incredibly communicative, and my dog is clearly so well taken care of, as is my apartment. I’m so happy to having such a trusted sitter for my dog!”
About: I've had pet dogs and cats (multiple at once) for most of my life, and have been trusted by neighbors throughout my life to take care of their furry friends. I am a very active person who loves to play with and walk dogs with plenty of paw-sonal (lol) experience of handling different types of leash behavior. I am firm with the leash, generous with the treats and scratches, and totally down to walk to your dog's content! I work in the mornings Monday-Friday, but I can usually swing early morning visits (8am or earlier) and I am home most days by 3 for afternoon/evening bookings! I can occasionally fit in evening/overnight care on a client-to-client basis, feel free to message me to see if we can make our schedules align! I thrive when I am given clear instructions on your pet's wants/needs. When tasked to feed pets I do so on a regular time frame so your pet doesn't get hungry or anxious from a shifting schedule. I can provide as much attention as your pet needs, from playing fetch for an hour straight to simply chilling on the couch and giving pets and scritches a-plenty. I follow owner preferences on treatment of pets (i.e. frequency of treats/method of cleaning up after them/reenforcement of training and home rules).
“Sara was great. She came on time and took excellent care of our puppy! She is clearly a dog lover and I would highly recommend her. Will definitely reach out to her again.”
“We had the pleasure of having Clifmon care for our 2.5-year-old XL Weimaraner, Jake, for 15 days while we were away and we couldn’t be happier. From start to finish, he was reliable, attentive and professional. Clifmon followed Jake’s schedule to the letter-feedings, walks, playtime and overnight company, making sure our boy’s routine stayed consistent. He stayed in close contact with us the entire time, sending updates and notifying us promptly of anything we needed to know, whether it was about Jake or our apartment. Jake can be quite a handful (and is the apple of our eye!), but Clifmon handled him with patience, skill, and genuine care. Knowing Jake was in such capable hands gave us real peace of mind. We truly pray he has a great review of Jake too, because we’d LOVE for Clifmon to be our Go-To sitter whenever we travel. This was the best gift to my daughter, knowing her best friend was so well cared for. 5 Star recommendation Thank you, Clifmon!”
“Yiming was great. I had to find someone to house sit on short notice and she was flexible. She took care of my cat as her own and provided timely updates. It didn't take long for my fur baby to warm up to her. I highly recommend Yiming.”
“Madeline was so great with our dogs. She provided updates and photos regularly and my dogs really loved her- one of our dogs is quite picky but loved Madeline! Would definitely ask her to come back for our next trip.”
“I’ve booked Steven several times for dog walking, but this was the first overnight dog sitting booking we’ve done, and of course, he did not disappoint! He was just as professional, responsive, and thoughtful as always. He also made sure to leave the house super clean and even stripped the bed linens for me before he left. And most importantly, I came home to an happy, healthy pup per usual. Always a pleasure working with him!!”
“Katrina was absolutely amazing with our dog! We went away for a friend's wedding only a few weeks after adopting our 3 year old terrier mix, and Katrina could not have been a more reliable, caring person to take care of him in our absence. Katrina has a natural warmth that put both us and our dog at ease, and it was clear both while we were away (through her amazing photo updates) and when we returned that he was well taken care of. We could not recommend her more highly and would love to work with her again!”
“Asha was a LOVELY sitter!! she booked super last minute and was incredibly accommodating to my lovely baby boy. sent plenty of pictures and videos and was incredibly responsive with updates. will definitely book again!”
“Second time having Denise watch my pups and it was the best decision ever. Denise sent many update pictures without me having to ask, you can tell she has a genuine love for animals. My home was left extremely clean. She washed the towels she used and dishes which I was not expecting. Denise is a wonderful houseguest and most importantly, dog sitter :)”
“Chenelle was so responsive during her stay. She was available and always answered our texts. Our animals were happy, we received lots of videos, and the house looked great when we got home!”
“DP was fantastic. My Mom unexpectedly had to be rushed to ER and he came and babysat her dog within a few hrs notice. He was courteous, caring with my dog and polite and professional. Beyond flexible. THANK YOU DP!!!”
“Emily was a great sitter with my senior dog, who immediately warmed up to her. Emily sent daily updates and photos, and was flexible around my fluctuating schedule. She also left the apartment as tidy as I’d left it. Highly recommend, and I’d love to have her house sit again.”
Hamilton Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Marie is so kind and helpful in every way. We received photos with every visit as well as a note on how the babies were doing. We came back to a happy home with well fed cat and dog. She even brought in a package for us from Chewy! When plans changed she was flexible and worked with us every step of the way. Thank you so much, Marie!
We have four dogs in NYC in the middle of horrible snow and sooo cold weather. Also one of the dogs had an injury right before we left and that dog is very skittish. With all that Eugenia was able to bond with the dogs, give the one who needed it his medical treatment , and handle everything despite the worst weather- probably the worst week in the past three or 10 years to dog sit new dogs due to the weather. Excellent job!
Steven was great! He stopped by before the dog sitting appointment to meet Lulu so that she would feel comfortable for the appointment. He was on time and accommodated by slight change in schedule. Steven asked a lot of questions to make sure he was knowledgeable about Lulu’s habits and needs. I’d highly recommend Steven and would book him again in the future.
Our pups loved having Anita take care of them. Anita sends daily photos and videos of the pups so we get to see them having a great time. The pups are always energetic and healthy when we return home. She communicates often and lets us know if there are any issues or concerns that we can help solve.
Madeline stayed at our apartment and watched our pup for a week and a half while we were traveling. She gave us super detailed and thoughtful daily updates with pictures, and it was clear that Hudson had a wonderful time with her (it’s also clear he misses her now that we’re back!). We can’t recommend her enough!
Ameera was a GODSEND. The morning I left town, my pup got pretty seriously ill and Ameera provided top-notch service—and most importantly, peace of mind—in taking care of him for the week. She administered medicine, helped with his anxiety, and made sure he was comfortable.
Sophie was professional, punctual, and communicative. She was clean and respectful of our space. We appreciated the regular updates. She asked great questions during the meet and greet, showing her care and attention to detail as well as Izzy's needs. We would definitely have her back. Thanks, Sophie!
Aiyesha was quite literally the best cat sitter I’ve ever had! Her communication was fantastic and I felt so secure with her taking care of my baby. She went above and beyond with the care for not only the cats, but also our house. She left everything in perfect order and even left some home cooked chicken broth to keep my outdoor cats warm. I will 100% rebook her!
Jessie took great care of my Sunny. She was attentive and very communicative. She sent lots of great pics and videos so I knew Sunny was happy while I was gone. She also left my apartment exactly how I left it which was much appreciated after a long day of travel! Would definitely book her to take care of Sunny again!
