“Emily took excellent care of Pico while we were traveling. She is very caring towards animals and kept Pico well-accompanied. We also received adorable pictures of Pico. We would definitely book with Emily again.”

“Gwinevere worked hard to make friends with the very shy Daisy, and sent photos and videos daily of their friendship journey. Hearing Daisy purr upon my return was the icing on the cake!”

“This was my first time using Rover. Neil is awesome. I needed to book a dog sitter last minute and he responded to my inquiry right away and was super communicative and kept me updated and sent me a pic of my dog. I would def book him again.”

Sara R.

“Anne was so wonderful and gave thorough updates each day about my cat, both with pictures and text. She was caring and attentive and quick to respond. I'm so impressed and have only wonderful things to say!”

“Jaixa has done it again!! I had a last minute international trip and she was so accommodating and was able to check up on Fuji regardless. She was reliably updating me, sending me pics daily, and was so gracious through a small nipping incident when Fuji got excited (sorry again!). I returned to a happy healthy clean kitty who I'm pretty sure did not miss me at all and wonders where Jaixa went :D You're the best Jaixa!”

“Iris has been dog sitting Frankie in my apartment for a while now and she’s been my first and only choice ever since day one! Frankie is a nervous dog but he immediately loved Iris and she loves him too so I feel great leaving him with her looking after him. She’s really flexible as my job as a nanny and student means my days are never the same. I recently went away on vacation and decided to have Frankie stay with Iris at her house and she’s sent so many photos and videos I can tell he’s having the best time and he’s being so well looked after! He loves being with her and it means I can feel happy knowing he’s safe and with someone who really loves him! Recommend 10000000% !!!”

About: I have been blessed with the opportunity to care for dogs since I was in high school! I grew up with two dogs biscuit and honey. I was in charge of taking them for walks, feeding, training, and some grooming. I have a unique schedule that allows me to be flexible throughout the week. I work from home three days a week, which makes it easy for me to do home visits and drop-ins during the day. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, I work in the office for about 8 hours, so on those days I’d be available for visits in the morning before work and again after 4 PM. While early morning walks may be limited, I’m consistently available for afternoon and evening walks or drop-ins most days, including days I’m in the office. I live in an apartment complex and I am fostering, so I am not currently boarding at this time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that helps each pet feel comfortable and cared for. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible this includes feeding times, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I treat your home with the same respect I’d expect for my own, and I make sure your pet gets lots of attention, affection, and consistency while you’re away.

“Steven is one of the most conscientious catsitters Jacques and I have ever known! The first time I met Steven, right after I told him that Jacques sometimes vomits after eating, he asked me “where are the cleaning supplies?” He did a beautiful job, taking care of my beloved J., and keeping me informed at every step of the way. I would be more than happy to have Steven catsit again (and again).”

“Yuan took such great care of my elderly cat Annie when I was out of town. Annie is very very shy and does not warm up to people often, but Yuan seems to have the magic touch :). She was responsible, responsive, and overall great to work with. I felt very at ease knowing Annie was in good hands. Absolutely recommend Yuan’s services!”

“Katherine was a great help for my cat, she followed my instructions & communicated with pictures too! I’m happy she was able to check in while I’m away, I would rebook again!”

“Yiming is so great! She has looked after Walter a couple of times and is so easy to communicate with, and I know Walter is having a great time!”

About: I’m a patient, loving sitter with experience caring for senior dogs and their unique needs. Whether it’s administering medication, offering gentle walks, or just being a calming presence, I’m dedicated to making older pups feel safe and comfortable. At the same time, I’m young and active, so I’m more than happy to match the energy of playful, high-energy pets. I treat every dog like family and always prioritize their well-being and happiness. I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and being a sitter lets me do something I love while staying active and helpful in my community. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make sure pets feel cared for and comfortable in my care! Since I have two cats at home, I prefer to care for pets in their own space through drop-in visits or home stays. I find that pets are often most comfortable in their familiar environment, and I do my best to keep their routines consistent and stress-free. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I treat every visit with care and attention.

“Dennis looked after our kitten and foster cat for a weekend away. They are both skittish of new people, which he respected while still making sure to visually confirm that they were ok for our sakes. He is responsive and gracious, and I would be happy to utilize his services again.”

About: Hello! My name is Sara, I live in Central Harlem, but I am originally from New Mexico. I absolutely love animals, dogs especially. I always had three dogs growing up that ranged from the size of a Jack Russell Terrier to a Samoyed/Lab mix. Recently, I had an amazing, sassy 14 year old Chihuahua named Ginger (pictured pretty frequently). I have experience not only from growing up with dogs, but I have dog sat and walked for my friends and family. I also have experience with senior dogs. My schedule is pretty flexible when given a day’s notice. I am pretty positive, easy going, and active. I am happy to discuss yours and your dog’s needs and expectations. I do work a standard 9-5, Monday- Friday corporate job. However, with a day’s notice I can choose days where I am working from home. So I will be able to take care of your pet frequently during and after work during the week. All day on weekends. I still have pet supplies from my dog so your animal is comfortable. I am very respectful in another person’s home and follow directions exactly as required.

“As a new pup mom with some separation anxiety of my own, I felt completely at ease with Brittany coming by! She took multiple photos and wrote a summary of the visit, truly so helpful for a worrier like me. Absolutely recommend!!”

“Marissa was literally amazing, We would book her every single time for our pets, 3 all together (1 dog & 2 cats)! She sent so many photos, sent lots of updates & followed every instruction for their care! Thank you Marissa!”

About: With over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, I bring both passion and professionalism to every pet I care for. I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies who need structure and training reinforcement to senior dogs who require gentle handling, medication, and extra patience. I love spending time with animals, so pet care fits right into my weekly routine! I’m available after 5 PM on weekdays and open all weekend for walks, drop-ins, or longer stays. Whether your pup needs a quick evening stroll or full weekend company, I’m here to help keep tails wagging. Every pet has different needs, and I tailor my care to fit them. I’m experienced with both high-energy dogs that need structured activity and enrichment, as well as senior pets that require patience, medication, or mobility support. Whether it’s a slow-paced walk or a fun game of fetch, I adapt my environment and routine to suit your pet. Safety is key — from secure walking gear to close monitoring during meal times and outdoor activities. You’ll receive regular updates and know your pet is in capable, loving hands.

“Ai was an excellent sitter for my 2 cats! She provided pictures and updates after every visit, which I really appreciated. Hands down, best sitter on Rover!”

“Salem was very welcoming toward Denise. She asked a lot of questions for clarification before dropping in to see Salem, sent pictures of him and kept me updated. I would definitely book her services again and would recommend!”
