Emily was great! She followed all the instructions I left for checking on my cats. During her drop-in visit, she played with them and sent plenty of pictures. She is moving soon, otherwise I would be a repeat client!

Charlie is an amazing pet sitter! Highly recommend. Charlie is timely in communications, clear, concise, provides wonderful report cards with great pics. Charlie interacted with my cat during their visit. My cat was in great spirits when I returned. Charlie is responsive and trustworthy. Hope Charlie is available for our next trip.

Can't say enough good things about Aisha. Thoughtful, attentive, and so communicative (and even carried in a heavy package for us while we were away!) Aisha helped us out in a pinch and went above and beyond. We will be working with Aisha whenever we go away in the future!!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong passion for animal care, starting when I was just 12 years old. Since then, I've dedicated countless hours to understanding and caring for animals of all kinds. As a proud owner of a shelter rescue pitbull mix, I've learned firsthand the importance of patience, compassion, and tailored care. I've invested time and resources into my own dog's enrichment and socialization, and I'm confident in my ability to provide the same level of love and attention to your furry friend. Whether you're looking for a trusted companion for your pet or just need someone to give them extra TLC, I'm here to provide top-notch care and make your pet feel like part of the family. As a hybrid tech sales employee, my schedule can get busy, but caring for pets is a top priority for me. I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 4PM, which fits perfectly with my work schedule. I'm also flexible and willing to adjust my schedule as needed to ensure that your dog receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while in my care. Whether that means taking them on a longer walk or playing an extra game of fetch, I'm committed to making sure your dog feels loved and entertained. When boarded with me, your dog is welcome to free roam and enjoy all the comforts of home, including lounging on the couch. My home is just a 5-minute walk from a park, so we can easily get in some exercise and fresh air. Your pup will also get to meet Cozy, my friendly 6-year-old pitbull mix, who's always excited to make new furry friends. Cozy loves to play and socialize, and I'm confident she'll help your dog feel right at home. Whether in my care or yours, I tailor my services to meet your dog's individual needs and ensure they receive the love, attention, and exercise they deserve.

My first time booking with a sitter for my two cats while taking a week long vacation. Ambroja went above and beyond to accommodate my girls and kept me updated every step of the way. So very thankful for her. Super professional, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again.

I cannot recommend Mirin highly enough! She went above and beyond in caring for my two dogs, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. After every walk, she provided incredibly detailed reports along with lots of photos, which truly made my day and reassured me that my dogs were happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s clear that Mirin genuinely loves what she does! She treated my dogs with so much attention, patience, and kindness. She didn’t just “walk” them; she made sure they were engaged, comfortable, and enjoying themselves. If you’re looking for someone reliable, communicative, and truly exceptional with animals, Mirin is the one. I’m so grateful to have found her and will absolutely continue booking with her!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover. I previously did pet sitting and dog walking in college, and since I love long walks and furry companions, I’m excited to be doing it again! I’m flexible with scheduling, punctual, and detail-oriented. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break or a long walk, I’ve got you covered. I’m very communicative, so you can always expect photo updates and check-ins after each visit! I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to stay present, provide consistent supervision, and make time for walks, playtime, and attentive care throughout the day. I stick to your pet’s usual routine, making sure they’re fed, get plenty of playtime and affection, and stay in a safe, clean environment.

Emma has been an absolute lifesaver and is the perfect sitter for our new puppy, Hubble. Emma went out of her way to make herself available in the middle of the day during our first week back at work and it has made all the difference. She is communicative, punctual, and extremely kind. I have nothing but nice things to say about Emma. I know Hubble absolutely loves his new friend!

About: Hi! We’re Connor and Alejandra — lifelong dog lovers and experienced dog owners living in NYC. For the past 10+ years, we’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic terriers to strong, working breeds. We currently have our own dog, whom we’ve personally trained with a focus on leash manners, recall, calm indoor behavior, and consistent routines. Because of that, structure and attentiveness are already part of our daily life. One thing that makes us different: we’re a two-adult household on one Rover account. Since we both work hybrid schedules, we’re able to coordinate so dogs in our care are rarely left alone. If your dog needs extra companionship or minimal alone time, we can usually accommodate that. We follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and house rules closely. We believe dogs thrive on consistency, calm environments, and clear expectations — and that’s exactly what we provide. Whether it’s structured walks, playtime, or relaxed downtime, your dog will be treated with both warmth and intention. We limit the number of dogs we take at once so each pup gets focused attention and care. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, and we’re always easy to reach. If you’re looking for sitters who are friendly, reliable, and genuinely attentive — we’d love to meet you and your dog. Pet care is already a natural part of our daily routine. We have our own dog with his own schedule, sensitivities, and specific diet, so we’re very used to maintaining consistent feeding times, walks, play, and downtime. Caring for pets isn’t something we squeeze in—it’s part of our lifestyle. We treat every dog with the same level of attention, patience, and love that we give our own. We adapt to each pet’s needs, whether in our home or the client’s. We follow routines closely—feeding, walks, play, and downtime—while providing a safe, loving environment. We’re attentive to behavior, comfort, and any special instructions, ensuring your pet feels at home wherever they are. Whether it’s drop-in visits or overnight stays, we’re respectful of your space and committed to your pet’s happiness.
