“Horace took great care of our pets and our home while we were out of the country! He was very communicative and responsible. It was a relief to know everything was in good hands while we were traveling.”

“We are so grateful we found Adolfo. He’s communicative, patient and loving toward our dog Betty. Anytime we go out of town we’ll be sure to use him again- I couldn’t recommend him enough. Trustworthy & reliable!”

“Caroline is an amazing dog sitter for Jeffrey. She watches him while we are in NYC. She responds quickly to every message and is consistently reliable. She sends plenty of great photos and updates, and we will absolutely book her again.”

“Megan was great with Louie! She was punctual, followed his schedule, sent a photo update, and played with him regularly. I came home to a very happy puppy. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

“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!”

“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!”

“This was our second time booking Alice and Ethan to watch Mango, and we honestly couldn't ask for better sitters! We were away in Ireland for our wedding, and having them look after Mango gave us total peace of mind. Alice and Ethan were incredibly proactive and efficient at figuring out Mango’s needs whenever anything came up. They sent constant updates and were so patient with his initially shy personality. They were also super prompt with his feeding schedule and medical needs, including his inhaler. Mango was so incredibly happy the entire time. We are so glad to have found them and cannot recommend them highly enough!”

“Ellie had a great time with Yeisha. They played and cuddled, which is a big deal for my pup, who often takes time to warm up to new people. Looking forward to using Yeisha again soon.”

“Abdelkader is an amazing cat and house sitter. He took such great care of our Oliver. His care and attention to detail went beyond expectations. We were a little anxious leaving our dear cat for so long but we knew right away that he was in good hands. We really appreciated all the check ins and photos. Our apartment was clean and neat when we arrived home, which was so appreciated. I can't imagine a better cat and house sitter. We have already re-booked Abdelkader for another stay with Oliver.”

“Razan has watched Poe twice now and has been wonderful both times! She is very friendly, patient, and sweet with him as he warms up to her. She sends great photo updates during the stay which I really appreciate! She is also comfortable giving Poe his medication, feeding him, and taking him on walks. Very reliable and flexible. I will definitely book Razan again!”

Taking in rescue dogs, caring for friends and families animals, as well as raising a colony of stray cats in my backyard. I love all animals and am excited to help however i can! I am a full-time college student. I am available all weekends and most days during the week at any time needed. During Summer break i am available at all times on any day! I have a fenced in backyard as well as 3 cats in my home and they receive lots of love and nothing but the best care. In your home i will respect your and your fur babies space, as well as providing them will all the love, attention, and food they could need.
“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!”

“Mika is the best! Our cat has some medical challenges and we are always worried when leaving him. Mika took great care of him and gave us frequent updates so we were able to have peace of mind during our trip. We are so grateful!!”

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 :)
“Pedro was amazing with our dogs and cats! He is friendly, responsive, responsible, and thorough. He took great care of them and gave us updates while we were away. Our pets really felt comfortable with him and we are so grateful!”
“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.”

“Sam was great with Judy while we were away for the weekend! Judy can be an anxious pup at times, but she loved Sam instantly and definitely had a good time with him. We also appreciated how communicative he was throughout the whole process. We would definitely recommend Sam to others!”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for the past 3 years! I have experience walking and sitting for small dogs and medium-large dogs, including those that were rescued! I love to create connections with your furry friends and am excited to meet them and provide a warm and safe environment! I’m a current law student in class 4 days a week. I’m looking to work on the weekends or Fridays preferably but am flexible and happy to work with your schedule! I do my best to create a safe and loving environment for pets when house sitting. I try to use the toys and tools they are most comfortable with to establish and keep their routines as minimally disrupted as possible to lessen anxiety.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Harlem is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harlem
We couldn’t have asked for a better Rover in Emily! She sent photos throughout the weekend, gave us regular updates, and replied quickly whenever we reached out. From her updates, it was clear she stuck to our pup’s routine and gave him plenty of walks and playtime. We never had to wonder how he was doing, and we knew he was in great hands the whole time. He was happy and relaxed when we got home. We’ll definitely book her again and recommend her to any dog owner. Thank you!

Karl is an incredibly professional and kind dog sitter that I give the highest recommendation for his services. I was away for three days and Karl gave daily updates and photos of Huey, who was having a wonderful time! Karl treated Huey with the utmost of care and attention as well as being a meticulously conscientious house guest in my apartment with everything in perfect order. Your pet and home will be in the best hands with Karl!

Macie did an amazing job staying with our 6 year old golden retriever while we were gone for the weekend! She kept us updated with photos every day and came over before to introduce herself and meet our pup. We would highly recommend her and will definitely book again!

Reena is fantastic! She is the best sitter we’ve had and highly recommend booking with her. She eased my anxiety immediately, asked the right questions, and was super communicative + kind. Reena was very attentive to our 12 yr old cat with arthritis (who has daily medication and is a picky eater) and our 3 yr old shy cat who can take some time to warm up. They both absolutely loved her and would even cuddle at night. We received multiple daily photos and detailed updates, which allowed us to fully enjoy our week away without worry. Reena also left our apartment spotless. We will be booking her again! 🫶

Ashley was amazing! She stepped in when our care fell through at the 11th hour and far exceeded any expectations. She took excellent care of our Roo: she took her on good walks, did some training, and made sure she was happy and healthy. She provided lots of welcome updates so my husband and I could feel at ease. We will absolutely be choosing Ashley again :)

Karaline is so wonderful! Our pup Koopa loved her from their first meet & greet. Karaline is great at communicating and sent us many updates/photos/video during our time away. We recently adopted Koopa and don't want to leave her alone for several hours, so having Karaline there for the evening was a huge relief. She made sure Koopa had her toys and stayed out of trouble, and also showed patience and care when Koopa had an accident in the house. Karaline was very attentive to Koopa who still has her anxious, hyper energy from coming out of a shelter recently. Koopa was able to relax in her care. It was a great experience for everyone and we'd love to have Karaline back sometime!!

Kyla was wonderful! She took such great care of Sadie and made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. She was incredibly kind, responsive, and thoughtful. I could tell Sadie was in great hands, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would happily book with her again!

Shirley was AMAZING! I had such a wonderful experience with her, and Diamond was clearly so loved and spoiled while I was away. Shirley kept me updated throughout my trip and was always quick to respond whenever I checked in, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even went above and beyond by tidying up the place and left both Diamond and the house in perfect shape. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Shirley to anyone! ❤️

Cassandra was the best! She went above and beyond when we needed her to stay with the dogs for an extra night. Before that she took the time to meet the dogs to get to know them and our apartment. Cassandra kept us updated every day and asked great questions on the best way to care for them. We would absolutely ask Cassandra to care for the dogs again!!

Kaila was a wonderful sitter for our senior dog, who is shy and fairly high-maintenance. She gave him a lot of patience and care, and she sent us frequent updates, so we never had to wonder how things were going. We went away knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend Kaila!

Excellent. Professional in every way. Caring and loving to our goldendoodle Alice and Ethan treated us and Daisy as if we were family. Regular updates and photos. And our apartment was pristine on our return. I give them 5 starts only because there is nothing higher.
Caoimhe is awesome! Highly recommended! I was on a business trip for 4 days and i was impressed with the level of care she provided to my senior cat! Caoimhe was fantastic in keeping me updated with how my cat was doing with frequent pics and messages! I just came back home today and my cat was happy and relaxed as if i had never left home! Will be booking Caoimhe again on my next trip!!!

Maura was an amazing dog/house sitter! She sent lots of updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She took great care of Miley and my home, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
