“The best pup sitter that exists in the world! Wow wow wow highly recommend! I have a very picky eater pup who is also a total Velcro and she followed all my crazy feeding instructions to a T and even came up with solutions. My puppy never eats food at any of the sitters/daycare. And she managed to feed him. She walked him and took care of him as if he was her own. She loves dogs! I felt so safe going away on a vacation because she kept sending me updates and videos and pics all the time. We are so lucky that Rachel exists. She’s exceptional! 😊”

“Brianna was wonderful!! Not only did our pup love her and feel happy and secure in his own home, but she kept our house immaculate and even washed our sheets and towels before we came home! She sent us lots of pictures and kept us well informed. We will definitely will be booking her again!”

“Caroline is an outstanding sitter—professional, reliable and kind. She took careful care of our Max and showered him with affection. We received timely photos and video — evidence of what we saw when they met: Max loved Caroline. We absolutely will work with Caroline again!”

“Alicia did a great job watching Ernie for the day. She communicated well beforehand, took pictures and updated me on how he did, and left the apartment the same as when we left. I definitely recommend her and would use her again!”

“Cassandra was amazing! She was patient with my skittish dog, and accommodated all of her needs. Her dog Bella also helped bring my pup out of her shell. Thanks again for the attention to detail and wonderful care!”

“Adeib is and continues to be a great sitter for my puppy Norman, who gets so excited to see him whenever he sits. He sends updates throughout so I know he’s in good hands, and I come home to a very happy puppy!”

“Gwendolyn did great work house sitting Coco and communicated very well throughout. She left our house in pristine conditions. Thank you Gwendolyn and I look forward to working with you again.”

“Steven is a wonderful person to have in your home with your pup. He came in last minute, made the time to meet my dog and make arrangements… and my pup was relaxed and happy. Great communication. Everything was so smooth. Will use Steven often. A+ RECOMMEND!”

“Second time having Monique take care of Rose and she is great. Monique is friendly send updates with photos every day. Also leaves my home in great condition or better then when she arrived.”
“IF I could leave Desiree 10⭐ I would. She was very communicative, patient, and kind, and I'm sure my fur baby loved spending time with her. I definitely recommend her for house/pet sitting. So grateful to her for everything!”

“Michele was quick to respond to any of our texts while she was taking care of our two cats, and sent us pictures daily. She was so kind as to come two days early to stay with one of our cats who was having some health issues. She paid extra attention to one of our cats who has health/behavioral issues and notified us of any issues the cats were having. We felt comfortable leaving them in her care and would definitely hire her again!”

“Jason was so great with Gus! They became fast pals. He took special care of our older pup with ease and was very communicative throughout the stay. I would highly recommend him for any dog sitting needs!”

“He is so communicative and send videos! He was shy with Willow at first, and still working on their “relationship” but he really gave all of his effort into Willow! I am so thankful that Willow was able to have Adolfo. Thank you Adolfo for your patience and care for Willow, I know she can be difficult but you did great! Thank you!”


“Michelle was fantastic with our sweet/complicated rescue. She gave her a puzzle toy to keep her occupied and Patti even hung out in the same room instead of hiding which is a first for a new person!”


“Ashley was great, very communicative, and took great care of my pup. My dog is reactive and Ashley took care to make sure she was safe and happy. Thank you, Ashley!”
“Arin was so sweet and attentive to Aloo while I was away for a 4 day trip. She stayed in my home and kept it tidy and was very communicative with updates on Aloo throughout the sitting. I had mentioned Aloo is a rescue and is anxious and reactive and Arin reassured me that she would be careful with her walks and general care. Arin has experience with and training rescue dogs as well which was so reassuring. When I came back home Aloo felt calmer and was actually less reactive than she usually is which says a lot about Arin! Would definitely book with her in the future.”

“Yeisha is the best! She took amazing care of my old bulldog who is a bit on the needy side, as well as my young cat. I'm already looking to book her again and really appreciated her service. 10/10 would recommend for your loved 'lil ones.”
About: My first ever job was taking care of the dogs and cats boarding at my local vet. I made $8/hour and loved every second of it because I got to hang with animals all day! I’ve cared for my sweet senior shih-tzu Pixie for the past 14 years and miss her every day. I have experience administering medication, bathing, cleaning up messes, and giving each animal the attention it deserves. I’m currently looking for a new full time position so I have total flexibility to care for your pets! I recently moved to Harlem with easy access to the 2/3 and 4/5 trains. I am a very respectful house guest and intend to leave all spaces as I found them (or cleaner!). I prefer clear communication about all expectations beforehand so we’re on the same page from start to finish :)

Kathryn was a LIFESAVER! No exaggeration. Took on a booking for me at 1am the night before I was scheduled to leave town after my cat, Pigpen, had been in the ER, when her previously scheduled sitter was too intimidated to care for her. I can’t say enough good things. I hated leaving under the circumstances and Kathryn made me feel totally at ease. I knew Pigpen was in the best hands.

Alexis is wonderful!!! We have a pretty anxious rescue dog who is very uncertain and barky at new people, Alexis was so amazing with our dog Mia and took such good care of her while we were away. I can tell our dog felt so safe with Alexis and had SO much fun playing tug and endless rounds of fetch. Alexis is an amazing communicator and I felt so comforted that Alexis was taking care of our dog while we were traveling. Thank you!!!

Anita watched our dog at our place for two weeks and she did an excellent job! It was the first time we hired someone through Rover. Fortunately, Anita made the whole experience easy and smooth. She took great care of Dusty and stayed in touch with us all the time. She sent lots of cool photos and videos of Dusty, so we almost felt like we were there. It was evident that Anita was very attentive to Dusty’s needs and that she simply loved playing and walking with him. We highly recommend Anita and something tells us that Dusty misses her already.

Jenny took wonderful care of our dog and our apartment while we were away. After our meet and greet, we felt confident we could trust her. She asked thoughtful follow-up questions and clearly wanted to understand our dog's routine. She sent us updates every day, so we never had to wonder how things were going. Even our doormen, who knows our dog well and always keeps an eye on him, could tell how happy he was to be with her. We're so glad we trusted Jenny and would absolutely book her again!

Jessica is warm, friendly, professional, always on time but most importantly: Marshall is head over heels for her. She shows up at our door he squeals with delight and wags his tail so hard he’s at risk of propelling himself into the sky like a helicopter. While we were away, Jessica gave us daily detailed updates, accompanied by photos of our guy having the time of his life. Really lucky to have found her! :)

Eleni took such excellent care of our husky! He has separation anxiety, and some dog reactivity at times so it’s always nerve wracking leaving him, but Eleni gave us updates throughout the whole day, and he adored her. She was very prompt, and rolled with some scheduling adjustments on our end. Would love to book her again, she’s amazing!
