1. Lauren C.
“I can’t recommend Lauren highly enough as a pet caregiver! She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. From the moment she met our pet, it was clear how patient and caring she is—our furry friend took to her right away! Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just providing a comforting presence, Lauren goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. It’s such a relief to know my pet is in such capable and compassionate hands. Thank you, Lauren!”


2. Ivy W.
“Ivy is amazing with animals! She has had dogs in her family since she was 5 years old and has a innate talent for interacting with them. She showers her pets with love and attention and is affectionately referred to as "the dog whisperer" at the dog park. She is extremely responsible taking care of her own pets as well as others. This past summer she worked at a doggie day care playing with the dogs and even shampooing and drying many of them in the grooming station. She has had experience with dogs of all sizes, shapes, and temperaments, and is very adept at knowing what they need and how to interact with them. I woud recommend Ivy to anyone who is looking for a loving and responsible pet caregiver.”


3. Katie K.

“Katie was great! She was very responsive and helped keep us at ease while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond for us while we were away. We had a building fire next door and she came over that night to check and make sure our cat was fine. I can not recommend Katie enough!!”


4. Chloe S.

“Chloe clicked with my dog Ellie instantly, they loved each other during the meet and greet. We left Ellie in good hands for one day with Chloe. She stopped by several times during the day and next day to make sure Ellie was well fed and loved. The pictures she sent made me relieved that Ellie was well taken care of while I was away. I’ll definitely be asking her to care for my dog next time I’m away 💛.”

“Gill is a wonderful pet sitter! She is communicative, flexible, dependable and loves cuddling with my cat! She is always sure to send pictures, give updates and leaves my house tidy! Will definitely use her again!”




7. Kaitlynn M.

“I struggled with how to care for my two cats, a senior & a junior, while I went on vacation. Violet, my eldest cat, had just been diagnosed with kidney/bladder issues and required a stringent schedule of medication. I was completely put at ease after my meet & greet Kaitlynn. Her attitude & attention to detail were both professional & comforting. The daily updates were insightful & showed her familiarity with my "kids" and their needs. Our first experience with Rover has been a pleasure. Just knowing that there are dedicated sitters like Kaitlynn available at a time of need is a true relief.”


8. Joseph B.

“Joe was great with our cat, Grits and very communicative while we were away. We came back to a happy cat and everything as we left it. Thank you so much for the peace of mind on our trip, Joe!”

15. Anjelica Q.

“Big thank you to Angelica for taking care of my cats over the Christmas holiday! She was affectionate and gave the boys attention that I really wanted them to have over Christmas. Additionally, she was extremely diligent and fastidious with the bowls and the cat food and litter box.”


16. Kaylie B.
“Kaylie is a really good person, she has a really kind heart for animals, she looks really dedicated to the vet tech career, she loves to take care on any animals no matter the size. I have a lot of trust in her to the point I consider her as part of the family especially my pets love her. Kaylie is a really hard worker and is smart especially when she is in Rockland Boces Animal Science Academy, with me knowing she takes care of animals daily in Rockland Boces, it gives me more of a relief and knowledge that my pets are safe with kaylie.”


17. Sara S.
About: I’ve been in absolute love with dogs since Jackson waddled into our lives when I was 9. I’ve been dogsitting cowowker’s’ pups (and cats) for the last few years and love everything about it. Happy to stay in the home; bonus points if the pups “have” to sleep in the bed with me 😁 I have more flexibility over the weekends but am free after 4 during the week. From July-end of August I’m a lot more of a free bird! My current home isn’t big enough for the favorite member(s) of your family, but I am very professional when staying at your home (I’ve never opened a single medicine cabinet). I love that I can keep your pets as comfortable as possible in their own home and am happy to do whatever funny breakfast or night routine that they need!


18. Judith L.
“Judith is a caring and patient individual who loves animals. I have observed her caring for pets, taking them on walks, feeding them. She is very responsible and all animals love her. Judith would make a great pet sittter and pet walker and any animal would be lucky to meet her. She is absolutely the best.”


19. Ruth R.
About: Experienced in dog sitting for family friends with duties of walks, feeding and cuddles. I grew up with a small dog so i have the most experience with them but love dogs of all breeds and sizes. I am a healthcare worker so my week day availability varies. Some weeks i may have 1-3 days off but I have the greatest availability during the weekend. I live in a pet friendly area with plenty sidewalk/grass area for walks. I own a crate, toys and feeding bowls for my pet visitors to feel at home.
