“Christine is great! Mei Mei loves spending time with her and playing with her. Christine is super responsive and reliable and I always feel comfortable leaving my cat in her care.”
“Katie has been the primary dog sitter for our puppy, Olive and she’s been doing a fabulous job. I completely trust her with Olive’s routine, being a long time dog mama and a raising a kiddo herself makes her a natural. She’s calm and very attentive with Olive, has paid special attention to her unique personality, and has been an enormous help in potty training. Katie’s communication style is very proactive. She’s also flexible and has rearranged her schedule to accommodate my requests for daily visits. And also bent over backwards making herself available on short notice while I was in a pinch. Thank you for going above and beyond, Katie!”
About: Hi! My name is Blessy, and I’ve always had a love for animals. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets while you’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, administering basic medications, and following specific care instructions. I treat every pet as if they were my own and am happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I’m committed to providing personalized care and attention. I currently work part time, which allows me flexibility to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I am available for drop in visits, walks, and pet sitting before and after work, as well as on many weekends. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s routine and will always do my best to accommodate their schedule and needs. I provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and boundaries to help them feel comfortable and secure. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust is, and I will treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Jasmeen did a great job caring for my cat over a long weekend. I received regular updates and photos which was reassuring while I was away. Highly recommended. I would be delighted to work with her again anytime i travel.”
“Tricia was terrific and we would definitely hire her again. She was great with our Cavapoos, listened carefully to our instructions and was very professional. She is a dog person for sure and knows about their behaviors and cues. We were very pleased with her service.”
“Amazing cat sitter!!! Aimi was very careful following my instructions and if smth wasn’t clear enough, she immediately asked me😃 She would take multiple videos of her playing with my fur balls and feeding them treats, it was Adorable 😊 She definitely went above and beyond: most sitters don’t wash pets’ bowls after they finish eating and don’t vacuum the whole floor around the litter box☺️ I couldn’t have done it better myself! Highly recommend 💛”
“Zahudy was great. She was very attentive our dog, Oliver, and communicated in detail with us every step of the way. Oliver behaved as if we never left home and I think Zahudy played a major role in him doing so well.”
About: I grew up with a golden retriever named Abby who I helped take care of since we got her as a puppy. I have been working for Wag (dog walking/boarding service) for over 6 years now and have 100% 5 star reviews. I love animals more than anything! I’m currently in law school at CUNY Law, and working a fully remote summer internship, so I’m very flexible and free to walk and spend time with dogs and cats! I am currently working remotely, and free to board and walk dogs! I absolutely love dogs and need to make some extra money to save up for a car. My apartment is a 2-bed 2-bath, and it is close to a few different parks. I can tailor walks and outdoor time to your preferences!
About: I grew up with labs and lab mixes. I have trained dogs previously. I spent several years volunteering with Guide Dogs for the Blind. Animals have always been very comfortable with me. I am currently looking for work, so I have a flexible schedule. I am able to be available as needed. I understand people's lives are busy, so I try to be flexible for the dog/cat's needs. I respect their home. I treat their home as if it's my own. I respect their fur baby's space. I would never harm an animal, especially one that's part of the family.
About: Hey there! New to Rover but I’ve been pet-sitting friends’ dogs and cats for years. I’m the person at the party that hangs out with your dog near the snacks 😄 Open to overnight stays and also walks/check ins, or local hikes if your pet wants a little adventure. I’m a healthcare admin professional, currently working a hybrid work-from-home schedule. I’m available mid-day through the evenings, and occasionally weekends for overnight stays as well! I am able to travel a bit to petsit your fur friend where they’ll be most comfortable. Can follow any rules you have for your pets, just let me know!
“Aik came by the house before his petsitting visit to learn where everything was... he followed instructions perfectly and sent a picture of the one cat who came out to see him when he was here. Looking forward to having him take care of the cats, house and plants again!”
About: Hi everybody my name is Maya! I’ve been taking care of animals since I was very young ever since I adopted my first dog at 8! 🐕 I’ve had so many pets from dogs, cats, fish, birdies to hermit crabs 🦜 I work part time and finishing up my degree at the local community college in my area so I have tons of free time to take care of your baby! I have a friendly older mini schnauzer and would love to meet your baby! Of course if not, no problem, we have a balcony and tons of space to roam!
“Denise is fantastic! We have relied on Denise many times now and she consistently does a great job. She’s smart, great with and knowledgeable about pets, thinks outside the box, and reliable because of those reasons and more. I recently took a trip where I had little to no phone coverage, and I knew I could count on her to take care of any issues that arose if she was not able to reach me. I look forward to relying on Denise again.”
About: I’ve taken care of domestic animals since I was very young. Animals have always been part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them, pets are part of our daily routine. My daily routine already includes caring for dogs. I run a small mobile dog grooming business, so I am used to being around pets every day. I’m also used to taking care of animals since I was young, so feeding, walking, playing, and giving attention to pets fits very naturally into my routine. I live in an apartment, but my complex has a dog park and very dog-friendly spaces. Pets will always receive attention, supervision, and a calm environment. I make sure they are safe, comfortable, and follow the routine provided by the owner, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest.
About: I’m a loving cat mom of 5+ years with a lifetime of experience caring for cats of all ages. I’m competent in simple dog training and am open to dog-sitting/walking, but cats are by far my specialty. I have proven experience building trust and bonding quickly with new cats, even those with behavioral issues or shy demeanors. I’m a teacher looking for extra summer work, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your furry friends June-August! I can make up to 5 visits on weekends and 3 visits on select weekdays. I will be nannying part time and will be available before 2pm and after 6pm on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. Please message me with any questions! I am soft, gentle and empathetic with all new pets I meet, especially when I’m entering their safe space! My cat was a mean, shy little boy when I adopted him at 7 months; but now at 5 years he’s happy and comfy as can be. I hope to provide this same experience for your pets, whether it be a short drop in or an overnight visit.
About: I am attentive, caring and love to shower pets with affection. Will make sure to follow any directions you might have for your fur baby. Both myself and my wife work during the day but are available during the evenings. Our soon to be 18 year old son can watch them too under our supervision. We have a cat who can keep your fur baby company. We live in an apartment so usually keep pets inside unless walking a dog
About: My personal approach to dog care is grounded in genuine care for their well being. Working with my clients I provide prompt communication to ensure your dog is safe, happy, and healthy! Growing up my family had a beautiful 30lb dog that I helped care for from a puppy to old age. Being a part of this process has shown me how to support dogs in each stage of life from rambunctious puppies (structure, training and enrichment) to easing the aging process (special diet, new steps to climb onto the couch, shorter walks etc). Depending on the activity needs of your pup, I’m happy to provide daily walks or short runs (1-3 miles). I'm currently taking a gap year so I have plenty of time for your pups! I'm available weekdays and, with advance planning, can provide housesitting through weekends as well. I live in a single family home with three dogs. However, our family dogs like their space, and it is not available for dog boarding.

Aik was the perfect cat sitter! Very friendly, was proactive and took initiative in the care, and was very communicative. He also took very good care of my home and cleaned up all messes. Would definitely work with Aik again, and my cat loved him too! They can tell who good people are. Thanks Aik!
My shy, fussy cats really warmed up to Maria! She came morning and evening for 12 days while I was away and during that time she brought them out of their shell. Not only that but she cleaned the litter box wach time and washed the food dishes and cleaned the feeding mat each time. So adding it all up: quality socializing and play time plus cleaning and feeding, My kitties and I give Maria 5 stars!
This was our first time having Jasmeen watch our cats, and she did an amazing job! Right from the first day, we could tell they were in good hands. She has a ton of experience and shared great tips and tricks for their care. We loved getting daily messages and photo updates. We will definitely be asking Jasmeen to take care of our cats moving forward!
Yujie took amazing care of my two 6-year old cats while I was away. Her energy is calming and my cats liked her right away from our initial meet and greet. They were very happy to have her come visit :). Yujie gave detailed written updates each day and was flexible with the timing of the drop in visits. Great communication and professional! She also sent so many cute pictures, a video, and played with my cats and spent time with them! I definitely recommend Yujie for drop in visits for cats!!
Andrea did an amazing job caring for our kitties, Leya and Simon! We really appreciated how thorough she was and how carefully she followed all of our instructions. She spent lots of quality playtime with Simon, which he absolutely loved, and gave both cats wonderful care and attention while we were away. Andrea was also very respectful of our home, which gave us extra peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring pet sitter!
👍 👍 👍 ⭐ ⭐ Tricia is very communicative, and sends great updates and photo updates of the dog. She she takes better pictures than I do. She works really well with Nala, who is a very particular German Shepherd and requires a firmer hand but also a personal touch . I've been rebooking her several times and will definitely be doing so in the future. Thanks!
Jae did a wonderful job watching our two cats! We really appreciated her availability over the holidays. She provided great daily updates and photos of our two cats while we were away. Jae is reliable and communicative and I’d definitely recommend her as a sitter.
I don’t think our cats have ever been so well looked after! Natalie was professional and caring - from detailed note taking and daily reports, to playing them calming music during a storm, bringing extra litter to top up, offering homemade purée, photos, videos, everything. Cant recommend Natalie enough. 10/10.
