Edda was wonderful with my cat! Not only did she take great care of her while I was away and gave me thorough updates, but she also went out of her way to help clean after my cat. I’d definitely recommend her!

Samantha is a wonderful pet sitter. She is extremely communicative and caring, and provides thorough updates that go above and beyond those of most pet sitters I’ve met. She is a reliable and helpful person and showed my cat Biscuit lots of love.

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life and have grown up having always having a golden retriever. First there was Bailey, then Harry, and now we have our sweet Banjo. From daily walks, to belly rubs and everything in between, taking care of dogs and loving them has always been second nature to me. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved - just like I would with my own. I’m currently living in NYC and taking part in a program a few mornings a week, alone with a part-time job. That means I have plenty of free time during the day to care for and spend quality time with your pup! Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m excited to first pet care into my weekly routine. I live in a pet friendly apartment building! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe and loved. I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s specific routines!

My initial impression of Adam was that he was kind and trustworthy, which has turned out to be true. I've booked him twice to take care of my cat while we are away. Oreo seems content and well cared for upon my return, which is priceless.

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.

We needed a last minute sitter over the holidays and tbh since I hadn't used Susan previously I was naturally a little nervous. However Susan was very kind and professional. She took very good care of our two cats and respected our place. I would definitely recommend!

About: Hello! My name is Cameron, and everyone who knows me knows I love animals (especially dogs!). I work from home and have another dog-loving, work from home roommate, so someone will always be home to play with your pet. I've been doing Rover for 4 years and have experience with all different breeds, sizes, ages, and needs. I'm a punctual person and take pet care very seriously. Ultimately, I am a passionate animal lover and will treat your fur-baby with all the love and respect they deserve :) I'm a homebody who works from home with another WFH roommate, so I can guarantee that your fur baby will be cared for 24/7. I love incorporating dog walking/boarding into my routine and even taking them to dog-friendly events if the dog is interested. My schedule is very flexible and I'm usually available for same-day bookings! I'm an early-riser who loves routines and can stick to a consistent exercise/feeding schedule. When sitting/boarding, I can ensure your dog is let out frequently, fed regularly, and getting lots of attention. I’ll take them for long walks in the sun or snuggle inside when it's cold. As much as I love to play games and snuggle with pets when they're missing their owner, it's important to me that I cater to the animal's desires to make them comfortable. Whether your pet is active, lazy, shy, aggressive, or in need of a good round of fetch at Tompkins Square dog park, their safety and happiness is my top priority. I understand that every dog is different and will work to accommodate their preferences. Additionally, I adore taking photos of pets and I'd be happy to share photo updates of our time together. You can rest easy knowing your pet is safe, loved, and having a great time! Please note that I have moved from the East Village to Little Italy, and most of the photos on my profile are from my old apartment.

Another fantastic booking with Julia! She does such an amazing job—loads of photos and a detailed recap of the visit. Our cats are pretty playful, and she always captures some great action shots of them. Honestly, she should consider a side gig as a cat photographer! Lol. Julia is definitely our go-to cat sitter, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

Emily was a great sitter for my cat! My cat is very shy, and she was able to coax her out! Emily took good care of my cat. She helped check on my cat’s litter box gadgets, and went above and beyond to notice and refill my cat’s water fountain when it was running low. She was also very communicative and flexible with some scheduling needs on my end. Would highly recommend her and I will be booking with her again the next time I am out of town!
