“Jasmine was absolutely amazing! She took such good care of all three of our dogs, catering to each of their individual needs. The level of care she provided to our dogs allowed us to enjoy our trip even more knowing they were in great hands. I would recommend Jasmine to anyone looking for someone to take care of their dogs. We look forward to working with Jasmine again in the future. We couldn’t thank her enough.”
“My father passed away unexpectedly and I had to leave for New York within minutes. My biggest concern was my two dogs. I reached out to Anna and she came immediately without hesitation. From that moment on, I was completely worry-free. She sent consistent updates, photos, and videos, and my dogs were clearly happy and well cared for the entire week. She stayed with them full-time and kept me calm during a very difficult time. When I returned home, my house was spotless and beautifully organized. She truly went above and beyond. She is the best dog sitter I’ve used in 9 years — 100% trustworthy and reliable. I will absolutely be using her again.”
“Diana did a fantastic job taking care of Enzo. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I really appreciated her great communication- she kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind throughout the stay. I came home to a happy, well-cared for pup. Highly recommend!”

“Kenine took great care of our dog, Big! She is very attentive and communicative, sending many updates and pictures throughout the stay. We can tell our dog was well taken care of and relaxed with her. Will definitely keep Kenine in mind for future visits! 😊”

About: I grew up with a medium sized dog and have watched my neighbor’s dog when they were on vacation since I was young. I especially enjoy shy dogs and big personalities. I’m currently working full-time, and I have time for pet care on evenings and weekends. I will start having more daytime flexibility starting June 12. This summer I will be able to reliably look after your pets all week and on weekends. I provide regular check ins with photos of your pet and details on how they are doing. I follow detailed and specific instructions very well.
“Chelsea is a great sitter and I will be using her again. Her companion, Toby is also a wonderful little pup who helped calm my pups down. I don't know if you can call a dog a professional, but I can say that about Chelsea. She took our girls on nice long walks, sent plenty of pictures, and made sure we knew they were well taken care of.”


“Josefa was absolutely amazing as our Rover to a young dog and two cats. She was very communicative and offered check ins multiple times a day. We came back to multiple happy pets and an apartment that was cleaner than when we left it.”

“Nagham is a very conscientious and knowledgeable house sitter for our dog. She is super sweet with him and always gives us lots of updates while we’re away. We have relied on Nagham 4 times now and will continue to do so whenever we can.”

“We're so lucky to have Jaidi as a reliable housesitter. Jaidi takes such great care of our cat and dog when we leave. She's very gentle and attentive, and we always know that they and our apartment are in good hands.”
“Ashley came through when I needed a pet sitter last minute. I'm not always sure exactly when I'll need a sitter, so it's extremely helpful to me when those caring for my pet are flexible and can adjust to accommodate my needs. Ashley was on time and took special care of my almost 11-year-old rescue dog who has separation anxiety and some health challenges. I plan to request Ashley again as my schedule gets busy and I need someone to care for my fur baby. She is reliable and attentive and responds quickly to calls and texts.”

“Kristen had a calming presence that put our anxious dog at ease immediately. There was no panic when we left :) We were really happy with the experience and hope to work together again soon!”

“Ivy was great with our stubborn and aloof dog, Itza. She took time and went at Itza's pace, even coming over VERY early on the day I left to make sure Itza could warm up to her a bit before their week together. The house looks just how I left it and all our plants seem even happier than they were when we left.”


About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and treat every one I sit for like it’s my own. I live near Prospect Park and love being the “fun dog aunt” who gets your pup out and about. I currently freelance and get out for walk myself several times a day. I love Prospect Park and am also close to several fenced in dog parks, so I easily work these into my routine. I take time to learn your dog’s habits and mannerisms, and err on the side of more communicative rather than less. I understand this is a beloved member of your family, and strive to treat them with utmost care and attention.

“Kier was absolutely AMAZING! He was so caring with my 2.5 year old Cockapoo - and sent me updates/photos multiple times a day. My pup looked like he was having way more fun with Kier than he does with me :). Thank you, Kier!!”

“George was outstanding. He was tasked with taking care of a 14 week old puppy and he had is so under control. He was very responsive, followed all of guidelines and left the apartment super clean. And an added bonus - his pictures was professional quality and we now have incredible photos of our pup 🐾”

“Maria was an absolute lifesaver. She stepped in on very short notice to care for my dog, Rizzo, and handled everything flawlessly. She was comfortable administering his insulin, kept me updated throughout the morning, and sent pictures so I knew he was doing well. On top of that, she safely transported him to his next destination without any issues. It gave me huge peace of mind knowing Rizzo was in such capable and attentive hands. Maria was reliable, communicative, and clearly very experienced with dogs who have medical needs. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”

“Destiny was an amazing sitter and house guest! Our old boy, Blue, loved her from the moment he met her. She stayed in our home for 16 days and not only took incredible care of Blue, sending regular updates and pics/videos, but she went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, watering plants and even cleaned the house before she left, leaving us a sweet note. She was communicative, professional, and has a high level of attention to detail. We will 100% be using her services again!”

Howard Beach pet parents share their Rover experiences
As usual Ariel is amazing, I have had her watch my large dog Luna and she loves the time she spends with Ariel. She gets plenty or love an treats while I am away. I can enjoy my time away from home knowing Ariel is there taking care of things. Highly recommend and will be booking her again soon!

Regina was such a thoughtful, caring, and attentive sitter for our two cats. She sent pictures and video clips every day, and let us video call them when she could sense they missed us. She was considerate and kind, and I loved that she created a genuine connection with our babies, so much so that she will miss them. I highly recommend working with Regina. Thank you for making our week-long vacation worry-free!
