“Sydney was absolutely great with my boy Zion. She is very good with pets who need specified patience, attention, and care. I was initially nervous doing this for the first time but Sydney was very communicative, responsive, and patient. I’m relieved to have a new, trustworthy friend for my boy.”
“Dong was so great! He was super responsive and communicative ahead of the booking and during, and took lots of photos during each drop-in. Dong's professionalism made it so much less stressful to leave my <1 yr old cat for a few days - thank you, Dong!”
“My cat has quite a few special needs, and Kobi did a great job making sure he was well taken care of! She sent pictures everyday either playing or hanging out with my cat which was awesome. I highly recommend her for all your cat sitting needs!”
“Jessica was wonderful and took great care of our cat. She sent lots of pics that gave us great peace of mind :). In a pinch we had no one to feed and give our cat his medicine while we were away for the weekend and we had already left! Jessica was immediately responsive and went the extra mile to make sure he was cared for and we got all the updates. Highly recommend!!!”
“Katherine was amazing! Our pre-visit video chat allowed me to feel comfortable with the process. She was able to build trust with my kitty in such a short time, and provided detailed updates. Would definitely book with her again and recommend to others!”
“Alex and Kate took excellent care of my two kitties while I was away for an entire week. They were excellent communicators, sending several pictures and updates everyday. They are trustworthy and caring! I could not recommend them more.”
“Very friendly sitter who took great care of our two cats. My very shy girl even came out to greet her towards the end of their time together! A great stamp of approval from Lily!”
About: Hi! I’m Zoe! My husband and I are passionate animal lovers who have always had pets in our lives. I have a pug named Pikachu in my family and he has a corgi named Mocha in his family, but after getting married and moving out, we’ve missed having pets around. That’s why I became a sitter—I truly enjoy spending time with furry friends! On weekends, we often help care for our friend’s Samoyed, Cairo, so we have experience with both small breeds like pugs and corgis, as well as medium-sized dogs. Whether it’s puppy care, senior dog care, I’m happy to provide loving and attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs, and give them the care they deserve! 🐾 As a curriculum designer in school, I have a flexible schedule with extended breaks. I works from home, allowing for flexible potty breaks throughout the day. One dog at a time!! When pets stay with me, I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I love spending time outdoors, so I always take them for walks and let them explore safely while I’m out on my daily walks too. I also enjoy taking photos and short videos to capture their happy moments and send daily updates to owners, so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: Hi! My name is Hallie, and I’m a certified animal lover. I grew up with some wonderful dogs and have been a proud cat mom for the last 10 years. I also worked as a dog walker/pet sitter for about six years at a reputable dog walking company in NYC. My time as a professional animal caretaker left me with a wealth of experience with cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes, ages, temperaments, and abilities, so whatever your animal’s unique needs are, I am prepared to provide them with the personalized love and care they deserve. I understand how important your fluffy family members are to you and will happily provide you with as much communication, including details and pictures, as you like. Hope to connect with you and your pet soon! My schedule is very flexible! I make my own hours so I can easily work around your schedule. Weekdays, weekends, and evenings are all fair game. I’m available to stay with your pet in your home, so they can be totally comfortable and their routine, including meals, walks, and play sessions, can remain exactly the same as always.
“Gabriela and Maidely were wonderful to work with. They were punctual and communicative. They took great care of our cats while we were away and I would definitely recommend them as sitters!”

About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My household includes a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, so I'm comfortable managing everything from giant breeds and high-energy dogs to independent, affectionate cats. Living with a Doberman has given me experience with intelligent, active dogs that thrive on structure, exercise, and attention. My Great Dane has taught me the unique needs of giant breeds, including gentle handling, patience, and awareness of their size and comfort. My two Maine Coons have helped me develop an understanding of feline behavior, grooming needs, and creating a calm, enriching environment for cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I have the space and resources to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐕🐈 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, my days are already structured around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I work with a flexible schedule that allows me to be present throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, supervised play, and check-ins. Pets in my care receive regular attention rather than being left alone for long periods. My large rooftop deck also provides a convenient space for supervised outdoor time and exercise between walks. I understand the importance of maintaining consistency, so I do my best to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding times, medication schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. Whether your pet is energetic and active or prefers a quieter environment, I can accommodate their individual needs and help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. 🐾 Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax, play, and feel at home while you're away. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized large dogs—a Doberman Pinscher and a Great Dane—who are accustomed to being around other animals. I carefully manage introductions and always prioritize each pet's comfort level to ensure a positive experience for everyone. One of the highlights of my home is a spacious 1,600-square-foot private rooftop deck, providing plenty of room for supervised outdoor time, fresh air, play, and exercise. Pets are never left unattended outdoors, and all activities are monitored to maintain a safe environment. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust involved in leaving your furry family member in someone else's care. I'll keep you updated with regular photos, videos, and messages so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. 🐾
“I am a repeat client with Mercedes, and I wouldn't trust my baby with anyone else! It's no secret to anyone who knows me that I am an over-protective cat parent, so I get nervous whenever I have to leave her overnight. Mercedes is so communicative though, I always feel confident that my kitty is very well taken care of. She goes above and beyond playing and petting to make sure she doesn't get too lonely or bored while I am away. On top of all that, Mercedes takes great pictures, which maybe isn't important to kitty, but definitely makes me as an owner feel better when I'm missing her.”
“Punctual, consistent and kind! I was a nervous wreck leaving my cat behind for the first time but Jazmin put all those concerns to rest for me. Thank you so much!”
“I took my time reading through different Rover profiles when we moved and immediately knew that our sweet but shy cat Tux would be in great hands with Francesca. Francesca was so patient and went out of her way to gain our boy’s trust. She’s easy to reach and excellent at communication. Very grateful that we found her!”
“Sarah took great care of Toby during his drop-in visits. She gave him his dinner, took him out for potty breaks, and made me feel very comfortable while I was away. Toby seemed happy and well cared for, and I really appreciated the updates. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Jolea is the absolute sweetest and took great care of my pups! She's very communicative and sent photos every day to ease my conscience. She followed all instructions and went above and beyond by taking the pups to the dog park almost every day! 100/10 recommend!”
“Our boys seemed pretty comfortable with Woonsan. He made sure our boys were well fed on time and cleaned the litters properly. He also followed our instructions so we didn't have to worry about anything. Will definitely be availing his services again.”

This was our first time having Deanna care for our two kitties and I am so happy that we found her. We were anxious to leave our fur babies to go on an overseas trip, but Deanna's well written and thoughtful updates truly put us at ease and it was clear that she read and followed our specific care instructions. I could see from the photos that the kitties were comfortable in her presence. It pleasantly surprised me that even my super shy one came out when she was there, and approached her more closely with each passing day. She understands that they have their individual personalities and respected that in her interactions with them. Deanna even went above and beyond when I asked her to leave nuts out each day for the baby squirrels that visit our deck. We were so pleased with her level of care and will definitely seek her out when the need arises in the future.
Tessa has been wonderful 😊 Arya took well to her rather quickly which was impressive. She's always respectful and provides me a full detailed report. Of course, photos too! With my new commute and insane schedule, she has been so accommodating and a gem. Arya and I are lucky to have her 🐕🙃
Stephanie did an amazing job taking care of our cats. They warmed up to her very quickly even though they are usually skittish . It was also a last minute request and she really pulled through for us. Highly recommend if you are looking for someone to take care of your kitties 🤗
Katherine was kind and personable, and was sweet and playful with my cat boys. On short notice, she came and took care of them while I was away, following an unfortunately convoluted list of directions from me to the letter. I'm so thankful for her - wonderful sitter! I'll be inviting her back for future trips.
Simply amazing! I will always ask Alekhandra to take care of my Bruno. This was my first time leaving my baby with a dog sitter and she made both Bruno and myself feel very comfortable and assured that he was in good hands. She even taught me how to properly get the harness on the puppy and how to train him for walks. She’s great and I’m more than happy with her services!
