“Vanessa was a wonderful and attentive sitter. She sent very informative updates via video and visited our cat with care and compassion. She was very communicative and went above and beyond to support us while we were away. She also was very accommodating to have ventured out during the snow storm - and we were so appreciative of that. I’m so grateful to have found Vanessa and hope to become a repeat client!! Thank you Vanessa!”

“This was my first sitting experience with Brian and my first with Rover. Everything went really smoothly and Brian did a great job especially having to hunt for the cat each visit - she is incredibly shy and does everything she can to avoid being seen. I appreciated that Brian kept his distance and visited her at the same time each day. As well as little extras like growing pet grass for her and straightening her bed. Would recommend and will be booking again!”

“Mary went above and beyond taking care of my two cats while I was gone for a full week. One of my cats had a few accidents while I was away and Mary when the extra mile, ensuring he was okay and cleaning up the area. She also was extremely communicative, sent plenty of pictures, and gave my cat so much love! I could not recommend her enough!”

“Samantha was great with Sage and so communicative and nice. I really felt safe having her be the one checking in on Sage while I was away! Feel lucky we were able to get on her busy schedule - great first rover experience!!”

“Thank you Christopher for taking such good care of Cosmo when I was gone for the weekend! Christopher was super responsible, responsive, and communicative. Great pet sitter”
“Rosanna must have cat super powers, my very timid cat warmed up to her very quickly and even let her pet him! She accommodated us during a last minute booking and took great care of our kitty”

“Petros did everything I asked him to do for my cats. Amazing job 🙌🏽 He also did meet and greet beforehand to make sure that all goes well when I leave which is commendable. I will surely rebook him again.”
“Edda was nice and took care of our cat while we were traveling! She was helpful when we needed her to adjust our heat and followed instructions. Would definitely book again!”

“Sophia was great! She called before accepting to check all the requirements for the week looking after my cat Teacup. She was super professional, very responsive and I would 100% book her again!”

“Ava was incredibly communicative (and took the best photos!). I genuinely think Ranger was upset when she left - he was so well cared for. We will absolutely hire Ava again :)”

“Carter went above and beyond to look after my precious cats. They warmed to him so quickly and he sent me tons of photos! I felt such peace of mind while travelling knowing he was taking good care of them back home. 100% will book again!”

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!

About: I’m a dependable, Part time college student and caring pet sitter who loves working with animals. I have experience helping friends and family care for their pets, including feeding, playtime, and basic routines. I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pets! I’m available on most weekdays after school and have more open availability on weekends. I can adjust my schedule when needed to make sure your pet gets consistent care, attention, and timely visits. I provide care in my client’s home to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special care needs. I make sure pets feel safe, supervised, and well cared for, and I respect your home by keeping everything clean and secure.
“Siddhi was lovely with Hazel - excited to have her watch her for this weekend! I ended up not being able to attend the event which was the reason I booked her, so I got to see more of how she interacted with Hazel. She brings a very calming energy that helped Hazel, a high-energy puppy, relax. She asked great questions in advance of the weekend booking, which gave me confidence she takes the dog sitting role seriously and comfort in knowing I can comfortably leave Hazel with her. She also has great communication!”

“Abdelkader is absolutely fantastic! He is always available when I need someone to care for my cat, Stormy, and consistently goes above and beyond. He sends thoughtful updates and check-in messages, which gives me complete peace of mind while I’m away. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about Stormy’s well-being and treats him with kindness and attention. Reliable, communicative, and incredibly caring, Abdelkader has been a wonderful caregiver. I never have to worry when Stormy is in his hands. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!”

“Giovanni was very responsive, helpful, professional and punctual. It was the first time my cat Funes stayed on his own, and he feed him and played with him and send me pics of my cat. I would definitely recommend Giovanni and will hope to use his services again.”


“This was our first time leaving our cat with a sitter and it went great. George was extremely responsive at all times and provided updates and lots of photos. Our trip was unexpectedly extended and when we needed an extra drop-in last minute George helped us out immediately.”


About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. I grew up with my mini schnauzer, Chiky, who I had for 11 years and took care of from a young age. She was truly my best friend, and growing up with her taught me just how important dogs are in our lives, how much genuine, selfless love they give, and how much care and attention they need in return. I currently work a hybrid part-time job, so I’m home most of the time. Occasionally I have to go into the office, but it’s very close to home, so I’m still nearby and readily available. I’m flexible during the week for walks, drop-ins, and sitting, and I’m fully available on weekends! I live in a top-floor apartment that’s very homey and cozy, with lots of natural light from skylights. While I don’t have a yard or balcony, I make sure dogs get the exercise and care they need through walks and playtime.
“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.”

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Stephanie!! She was absolutely incredible from start to finish and went so far above and beyond what we could have asked for. We reached out to her with only about 48 hours notice, and she was so accommodating and willing to help us out! Our kittens had just been spayed and neutered, so this was definitely a little more involved than a typical sitting job. They needed frequent visits and help taking their cones on and off, and Stephanie was so attentive, caring, and thoughtful throughout it all. She didn’t just stop by to feed them, she spent time playing with them, cleaned their litter boxes, gave them lots of attention, and made sure they were happy and comfortable every visit. She also sent us tons of photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away! It was obvious that she genuinely cared about our kittens and treated them like her own. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Stephanie and will absolutely be using her again. I couldn’t recommend her more!!

Sana was amazing! Our kitten was hungry and alone at home because our dry food dispenser broke down while we were out of town. We reached out to Sana, and she came over right away and took perfect care of our cat. We were so relieved, and our kitten also had a great time playing with Sana. Thanks again!

Jennifer was amazing, our cats loved her and we can tell she really took good care of them. Love the detailed reports, it made us feel at ease and it helped us feel less stressed during our trip, she was very thoughtful about not just the cats but also our place. We look forward to having her again to watch over our cats should we go on a trip! Thank you so much Jennifer ❤️

Natalie was a great Rover sitter! She was on time and accessed the apartment without issues. Both cats warmed up to her and she completed all of her responsibilities. She even let my more affectionate cat give her some neck nuzzles, which is all a cat mother could ask for.😁 I would recommend Natalie to anyone else looking for a reliable sitter.

Julia was communicative, easy to work with and followed the care instructions perfectly well. I even had to get new litter delivered while I was away, and Julia was so gracious to bring it in and top it off for my cat. I would definitely rebook her for cat sitting again.

Stella was great with our two cats! She kept us updated throughout our trip and sent us photos, which we really appreciated. We could tell our cats were so much happier and more comfortable being able to stay in their own home rather than having to stay somewhere else. The home visits were perfect for them, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for. We would definitely recommend Stella!

Catherine was such a fantastic help taking care of our cats while we were out of town for a long stretch of time. She was reliable, calm, and communicative throughout the process and took the time to get to know our cats before taking care of them. I would recommend her to others that need someone to do the same!
