“Chili’s second stay with Sonia was successful! She was nervous the first time since she’s more of a socially anxious dog but the second time she seemed to ease in a bit more. Sonia sent many videos throughout the day as always!”
“Camila did a great job looking after my precious fur baby. She was excellent with communication, sent photos and updates, and was kind, courteous. Highly recommend!”
“Matthew was a dream sitter. We contacted him on short notice and he did a great job with our gal, Otter, who has significant separation anxiety. Matthew was extremely responsive - we never had to wait more than a few minutes for a response, sometimes even less. And he was extremely flexible as our schedule shifted from day to day. We will definitely be reaching out to Matthew again in the future.”
“Sungmin is amazing with my pup, Louie! Not only was she super accommodating, but she also took great care of Louie by updating me with lots of cute photos. She’s very responsible and responsive, and she genuinely pays attention to your furbaby! I highly recommend Sungmin for your furbaby’s needs! Thanks so much again!”
“We were worried about traveling with our dog to NYC and were so happy we found Carla. She took excellent care of Tucker! She sent several photos and videos everyday and kept him busy with several walks a day in Central Park. She was amazing!”
About: Whether you require regular daytime walks, occasional drop-in visits, or overnight sitting, you can count on me to treat your pet like a precious, irreplaceable gem! I’m the pawrent of a Pekingese dog, two Exotic Shorthair cats, and a Persian cat. I am also a foster meowmie for other kitties. I have experience with senior and special-needs pets, including as a volunteer dog walker for PAWS NY, an organization that helps people in need keep their pets in their lives. I will send you lots of photos and videos so you can be fully informed about the well-being of your pet/s. I am self-employed as a designer and writer and quite flexible time-wise. In addition to dogs and cats, I’m also happy to care for bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, birds, and other exotic pets. I’ve read some horror stories about overnight sitters, as I’m sure you have. If I am house-sitting for you, I will be staying overnight in your home, so your pet will be in its usual environment. If you choose daycare or boarding with me, I will be staying overnight with your pet in a secure, cozy apartment with a fenced-in backyard (my own dog and cats won’t be present). I don’t walk dogs off leash and I don’t open windows for the safety of small dogs and cats. If your animal has any symptoms of illness, you’ll be advised immediately. If it’s hot out, I will ask that we run the A/C for the health of your pet. The well-being of your pet is as important to me as the well-being of my own pets.

“Adam was fantastic with our little rescue dog. Our puppy is very skittish and scared of new people, and Adam was so warm, kind, and patient with him.

Manhattan dog parents share their Rover experiences
I can't say enough great things about Seung! He took care of my dog, Hunter, as if he were his own. Not only did Seung make sure Hunter was happy and well-cared for, but he also went above and beyond in every way. He didn’t just stick to the basics — Seung brought Hunter along for errands (which Hunter loved), took him on exciting trips to the dog park, and made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. It was clear from the updates and photos that Hunter was having an amazing time and was completely comfortable with Seung. I felt totally at ease knowing my dog was in such kind, attentive, and capable hands.
Miki and Sid have been a match made in heaven for my little Penny. Miki’s service is a 8/5 stars - she truly cares about giving your pup the best of time, communicates and send pics/videos throughout the day, and truly pays attention to your dogs behavior. We’re so lucky to have found her and I can’t thank her enough for being so attentive, communicative, and lovable to Penny like she’s her own.
Carla was great with Sasha for our “test run” daycare before she watches Sasha while I’m out of town for a couple weeks. She sent lots of photos and updates throughout the day, and Sasha seemed to settle in right away. I always get very nervous looking for someone to watch Sasha, and I feel comforted that she will be well taken care of when I am out of town next!
Christine has a super positive energy and seems to truly love dogs. She really focused on making our anxious dog comfortable during the meet and greet and it only took a few minutes before he was giving him her belly to rub. During the stay she sent lots of pictures and kept me updated and seemed totally unbothered when he was stubborn on their walk!
