“Ashely was incredible!!! She gave great updates and was very easy to communicate with. My dog loved her! She also took fantastic care of my apartment while I was gone. I will for sure be booking with Ashley again! Thanks for everything Ashley!!!”

“Noah did a wonderful job watching our pups while we were away! He was especially attentive and caring with our elderly dog, including administering medication, which gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was great, and we could tell our dogs were well cared for and loved. We would absolutely have Noah watch them again and highly recommend him!”

“Mallory did a great job with Ginger - they connected immediately! Mallory was prompt, kind, asked great questions, and is confident and trustworthy. We will be booking her again and again! It's a huge relief knowing Ginger is in great hands.”

“Second booking with Lauren was just as great as the first. She has a calming presence for my high energy pup. Lauren was responsive and sent great pics/updates. And she left my place cleaner than I left it! Wonderful experience.”

“Brittany was a hit with our Sheltie from the very first meet & greet! She kept me updated on how they were doing. Which is a blessing especially when you are out of town attending a funeral. You definitely do not want to worry about your fur babies!”

“Corrinn did a great job! She provided updates often and seemed to really bond with my kitties. I have 4 senior cats that have special needs and I felt very at ease with them in her care. They are very routine orientated and Corrinn didn’t miss a beat with the feeding and medicine schedules. I would definitely rebook and recommend her.”

“Maeve is great with our dog and has kept our home in beautiful condition. She is responsible and a very good communicator-she always keeps you in the loop. I highly recommend Maeve!”

“This was my first time leaving my two dogs with someone other than family. Kailyn did an amazing job with my two dogs who have a lot of behavioral issues that require special considerations (feeding and walking separately, medications, etc). She sent me pics and videos of the dogs too. Highly recommend!”

“I don’t have enough good words to say about Jamie! Our animals are our world and I feel like we finally found a sitter who treats them just as amazing as we do. It is such a relief to find someone who takes such good care of your animals while you are gone so you don’t spend the whole time feeling guilty for leaving. At one point, we even said that our dog probably likes her more since she took him on so many walks even in the cold! Jamie was so communicative about how the animals were doing and sent the best photos! She even went the extra mile when I realized I lost something and she found it. She left our home just as clean as when we left so everything was taken care of when we returned so we could just focus on seeing our boys. I can’t recommended her enough and I’m just so glad we found her to have someone we (and our animals!) trust. Just don’t book her so much that we can’t use her 😄”
About: As a dog mom of three very different pups—a goofy cuddle bug, a squirrel-chasing chatterbox, and a calm, loyal companion—I truly understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt my care to each dog’s unique energy level, quirks, and routine. I have experience with senior dogs, stubborn breeds, and high-energy pups, and I’m especially great with food-motivated dogs (because let’s be honest—treats are love!). Whether your pup needs a playmate, a cuddle buddy, or a calm presence, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I also have experience with medication administration, basic training reinforcement, and helping dogs feel comfortable in new environments. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for like family. Pet care is a natural fit in my life because I’m already surrounded by dogs and love spending time with them! I work full time, but I’m looking to do pet care part time—and I have flexibility in my current schedule that allows me to make arrangements as needed. Whether it’s early morning walks, evening drop-ins, or weekend stays, I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a routine that works for everyone. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I’m excited to welcome more furry friends into my weekly routine! I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes to ensure each pet stays comfortable in their own environment and to avoid any stress from introducing them to my three resident dogs. I’m respectful of routines and will follow all care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or cuddle time. I make it a priority to keep your pet safe, happy, and loved while you're away, and I always provide updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: I have been helping care for my beagle, Chance, for 9 years. I have taken care of dogs while babysitting. I know how to prepare food, control a tugger of a dog on walks, and give pets the love they deserve. My own beagle is somewhat disabled with full use in only 3 legs. My experience is in dogs, but I also love kitties. I am available to for work Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends all day. Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday I have an internship until 3pm. Thursdays are available from 4pm-midnight. Monday and Tuesday are available from 4pm-6pm. All care will be done within clients house, with the exceptions of walks or dog parks. I am also available to drive your fur babies if necessary. I will always check the water dish and feed on time.
“Paula stayed a week in our home to take care of our dog and did an amazing job. She took care of his daily meds, walks, playtime and chill time. We were comforted knowing he was in such great and capable hands and could tell how much he enjoyed being with her. We look forward to having Paula watch Louie again! 🤩🐾”

“Christina was outstanding with our two cats and dog she took great care of them, loved on them, removed a few ticks (wooded lot) and sent plenty of photos to show us all was A-OK! She is a fantastic carer for animals. We will be asking her back!”

“Zoey did a great job taking care of my Labrador’ retriever while we were out of town. He usually is stresses when we are gone but Zoey made him feel like his family never left.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 10 years now. This included dogs of my own, friends, family members and neighbors dogs. I also worked at an animal shelter and currently work at a dog daycare! I’m currently a full time student at Kent State University. I have open availability on Thursday’s, Friday’s, Saturday’s, and Sunday’s. Monday-Wednesday I’m free anytime after 5:30 pm or before 11 am. I will give your pet plenty of play time. I will watch them the whole time I’m at your house. I will also make sure they are fed and have water!
“Awia was absolutely amazing! From our initial meet-and-greet, she was kind, attentive, and genuinely interested in learning about Rumi and his routine. She even followed up afterward with a thoughtful message letting me know she was looking forward to caring for him and would take great care of him—which she absolutely did. While I was away, Awia provided regular updates, including texts and photos, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. She was communicative, reliable, and respectful of my home, making her an exceptional sitter and house guest. It was clear that Rumi was in great hands the entire time. I highly recommend Awia and would not hesitate to book with her again!”


“We couldn’t be happier with the care Kathleen gave our pups! She treated Franklin and Wilson like her own, kept us updated with sweet photos, and made sure every detail was handled while we were away. On top of that, we came home to a house just as clean as we left it — she even set out our garbage bins and started the laundry, which was such a thoughtful touch. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing both our dogs and our home were in such good hands. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”


About: Had dogs in my life since I could remember! Love playing and caring for dogs of all ages and sizes! Have been dog walking/sitting for the past 5 years I am currently in college so time is limited but afternoons are mostly free. I am willing to be super flexible and can normally make time for anything! I can walk up to 3 dogs at time. I am able to maintain a safe and clean environment for dogs while house sitting/ dog sitting.

Harlem pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had the pleasure of having Kiera stay at our home for 8 nights as our dog sitter for Kaya and Kona. From the start, she was incredibly attentive and took excellent care of our dogs, ensuring they were happy and well looked after. During her stay, a snowstorm hit, and Kiera had to remain at our home for 72 hours straight without leaving. I truly appreciate her dedication during that challenging time. She provided regular updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away on a cruise. Kiera was also very responsive to my messages, making communication seamless and reassuring. It was clear she genuinely cares for the pets she looks after. I highly recommend Kiera to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.
