“Samantha was so sweet and gave daily updates with photos. She did an amazing job and always made me feel like my Cat was getting the attention and love she needed while I was away. <3”
“Kirsten was great! Kept me updated each day and really went the extra mile. Came back to a very happy, healthy cat. Could tell from the pictures that Mel really liked her too (:”
“Christopher is a wonderful pet sitter!! My pup, Aspen, loves his daily drop ins while I'm at work. Christopher is extremely friendly and flexible - thank you for all you do for my pup and I🐶”
“Where should I start! I have so many good things to say about Melissa. She was so kind to my puppy, and went out of her way to help him with training, and feeding that picky eater! She was patient with my pet, and gave him so much love. Also she was very accommodating with my requests . Very punctual, reliable, and responsible. I definitely recommend her to anyone who want a caring person to take care of their loved pet.”
About: ⭐️ Get $20 off your first booking! Use code ANTOIC46087: https://www.rover.com/sit/antoic46087 For the past 26 years, dogs have always been an integral part of my life. I am lucky to have been surrounded by their love since I was 6, and (not to brag but) have always been my dogs' favorite human in my family. From a 16 year old toy poodle diva, to an anxious but goofy rescued doppelgänger of Dante (from Disney's Coco), I have plenty of experience training and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and different needs. DOG BOARDING - snuggles after playtime to calm your dog down before bedtime is an important thing I've learned from raising a hyperactive beagle puppy HOUSE SITTING - light occasional snack can help with bonding and distracting a dog who is anxious to have a stranger home while waiting for their beloved human to return DOGGY DAY CARE - tidying up my own place not only for my own good, but also to keep dangerous items or poisonous foods out of reach DOG WALKING - running, brisk walking, or slow strolls :) ✦ Schedule ─ I work mostly from home, so your fur children can always have my time and attention, and regular walkies or outside breaks. ✤ Environment ─ I am confident that your fur baby will trust and feel safe with me. I live on my own and can give them 100% of my attention.
“Vanessa was amazing and a trustworthy sitter for my cat Luna! She was very communicative and made me feel comfortable that my cat was in good hands. She sent tons of pics and videos and gave highly detailed notes for each visit. I would definitely recommend Vanessa!”
“Morgan was an absolute star when it came to taking care of my senior cat with a variety of health issues that required daily medication. She was patient, loving, kind and most importantly was reliable in my absence. Really appreciated her being able to provide daily updates during drop ins! Can’t recommend her enough and will be rebooking her in the future for sure!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and truly love caring for them. Over the years, I’ve had experience with a variety of breeds, including Shiba Inu (and mixes), Yorkshire Terrier, Beagle, and Labradoodle, so I’m comfortable working with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I always focus on creating a safe, happy, and positive experience for every dog. Being around them naturally makes me smile, and I do my best to make sure they feel the same way during our time together. I’ve completed 300 walks on Wag, gaining hands-on experience with many different dogs, and I love staying active—so your pup will get plenty of exercise, attention, and fun on every walk! I’m a part-time dog walker, but my schedule is pretty flexible, so I can usually work around whatever time works best for you. Just give me a heads-up a day in advance, and we’ll make it happen! I mainly provide walking services, but I’m also happy to do drop-in visits or house sitting at your place (my apartment isn’t big enough for dogs). I typically walk dogs around Lower Manhattan and Chelsea. Wherever we go, your pup will get plenty of fun, exercise, and attention! I always prioritize safety, comfort, and a positive environment for every dog in my care, whether we’re walking outside or spending time at your home. Before our first walk or visit, I like to learn about your dog’s personality, habits, and preferences—such as their age, gender, favorite activities, how they react to other dogs or people, and any food allergies or sensitivities. Knowing these details helps me provide a safe, fun, and stress-free experience tailored to your pup, so they can enjoy their time with me while staying happy, healthy, and well cared for.
“Jasper was amazing! 10/10 recommend! He responded to any messages quickly and asked any necessary questions. My cats are shy and he worked at trying to get them to warm up to him, which I appreciated. He sent daily messages and photos, and kept me informed at all times.I would gladly hire Jasper again in the future.”
About: I been taking care of dogs since I was 11, walking, grooming, overnight/housesitting for my aunts 2 dogs. I can work with puppies and senior dogs. I’m taking college online so I have a lot of time and would love to make the most of it by spending time outdoors. Going on walks is so much more enjoyable with a furry companion, and I’d love to help care for your dog! I have plenty of time to give them the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I’ll make sure your pet feels loved and cared for by keeping them company, ensuring they always have fresh food and water, and keeping them entertained when they’re feeling bored. Your fur baby happiness and well-being are my top priorities!
About: I have had a dog since I was young. I have taken my dog and friends’ dogs on walks together throughout the years. I was known for taking care of my friends’ pets while they went on vacation. I checked in with their pets at their homes at least three times a day. There were occasions where I was also handling providing medication for the pet as it had different prescriptions during their time away. I just graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and moved. I have a lot of time over the weekends and some weekdays! I am always home to keep your dog company and love playing with dogs. I can sit outside with them or play with them indoors!
“Brianna was amazing. Quick to respond to texts and very understanding about my cat being a bit shy and never tried to force her out to play. Would highly recommend Brianna for all your sitting needs!”
“Cheryl was so phenomenal with my cat Gandalf and went above and beyond with his visit. Chubby Gandalf sadly in his older age got diabetes (as most older, overweight, cats do) and she was able to administer his insulin shots perfectly!”
“Abdelkader was a great companion to Rose while I was gone. His regular check-ins with pictures gave me a lot of peace of mind. I would book with him again per his availability.”
“Melanie is very reliable and was able to look after our cat last minute for the holiday weekend. We love her photos and updates and feel comfortable having her watch our cat each time we travel!”
“Andrea was fantastic with my two kitties. She is very responsive and provided me with detailed summary of how my kitties were doing with lots of pics.”
Little Italy pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kathy took great care of our cat. It was our first weekend away as pet parents and she made it stress-free. She sent lots of photos and gave our kitty a lot of attention & playtime. I greatly appreciated her willingness to coordinate key exchange before/after the stay.
Monika was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly thoughtful, kind, and caring with my cat while I was away. She sent lots of detailed updates and so many photos during every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. I came home to a happy, well cared for cat, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would absolutely book with Monika again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely sweet :)
There isn’t a better person on Rover. Madeline was considerate, curious, great with my cat, and went above and beyond whenever she could. I was thrilled she made a strong connection with my cat and was clear, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the booking. Best sitter ever.
Aaron was amazing with my sassy 15-year-old cat. He kept her entertained and went above and beyond cleaning when she had an accident on the rug. Dakota is looking forward to seeing her friend Aaron again soon next time we’re out of town. Thank you x a million, Aaron!
Dani was absolutely amazing while watching my cat during my travels. She was prompt, communicative, and provided regular updates that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my cat and made sure she was well cared for and comfortable. I would highly recommend Dani to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely book with her again!
Yuxin was amazing! She spent so much quality time playing with Poke during every visit, making sure he never felt lonely. Poke absolutely loves her and is always so comfortable around her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter!
Chloe is clearly very experienced working with animals. She watched our cat for 2 weeks and gained the cat’s trust very quickly. It gave us peace of mind while we were away knowing our pet was in caring hands. Chloe provided great updates and photos while also being very responsive. She came in the clutch on short notice to watch our cat. We will definitely be in touch with Chloe for future visits!
First time using Rover and we couldn’t be happier with Monica and the care our cats received! From the very first visit, it was clear how much she genuinely loved cats. Monica kept us updated with daily photos (which looked like professional shots at times!) and messages throughout, so we never had to worry while we were away. The cats warmed up to her and really enjoyed all the play time she gave them. Our place was left incredibly tidy when we got home, which was greatly appreciated after being away for a week. We’ll absolutely be booking Monica again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring cat sitter. Thank you Monica!
