“Tracy watched our pup Winnie for an evening out, and she had a wonderful time! We knew Winnie was in great hands—Tracy sent adorable pictures of her playing with Nookie, and when we picked her up she was so happy and tired! Overall we had a great first experience using Rover and would highly recommend Tracy in a heartbeat!”


“Eleanor is very thorough and provided the best standard of care to Dante! She provided multiple updates throughout the visit and made sure Dante got everything she needs, from food to treats to potty breaks and long walks. She really cares and I will definitely be booking again!”



“They are both amazing! Super communicative and helpful. I booked last minute before a concert, literally 30 minutes before and they took such good care of my baby boy!”


“Honestly, she’s more than amazing. She’s guided me to become a better puppy mom as a first time dog owner. Sungmin got out of her way to pick up my dog at 6am in morning almost everyday!!! If that doesn’t show you, her love for dogs idk what will. She sends me pictures & videos throughout the whole day and keeps you updated on everything. My pup loves her and her other dogs so much! So grateful for her. Book her please. Your dog will be in the best hands. 🫶🏼”


“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!”


About: I’ve grown up with many pets from the age of 5. I’ve had a Japanese spitz called sweet pea and a Lhasa Apso named Leo. I don’t have any pets at the moment which means I’ll be able to shower your baby with all the undivided love, care and attention I’m available for weekends, long weekends and holidays! I’m open to caring for your pet during the week as my husband works from home and is equally obsessed with dogs. I usually get off from work at 5 with the flexibility of working from home from time to time. Your baby will ALWAYS have at least one person with them throughout the day. There will be plenty of playtime, cuddles and fun! Our apartment complex is very pet friendly. We have plenty of areas/parks to take dogs out for a walk. I am happy to cater to each and every pet’s need.

About: I grew up with multiple dogs in my home and have always loved taking care of dogs. I currently have my own dog, Stella and I take care of my family members dogs when they are out of town. Visiting Nantucket in July and will be available while I am there! I am currently working from home so I have a flexible schedule which allows me to take walks throughout the day. I walk frequently and enjoy taking care of animals. I live in a dog friendly apartment building and I have a dog that lives with me. I am very careful and aware of my surroundings when walking dogs to ensure safety.

“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.”


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.

Thank you both! 🐾”

Manhattan dog parents share their Rover experiences
We left our two six-month-old puppies with Esra for several days, and I can confidently say she exceeded every expectation. From the very beginning, Esra’s communication was outstanding—she responded quickly, asked all the right questions, and kept us updated with thoughtful messages, photos, and videos throughout the entire stay. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pups were not just safe, but truly cared for. What stood out most was Esra’s natural talent and genuine passion for working with dogs. She clearly understands dog behavior and took the time to reinforce the training we’d already been working on. When we returned, we could actually see improvements in our puppies’ behavior—they were more focused, calm, and confident. It was clear they hadn’t just been watched, they had been engaged and nurtured. Esra was also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which made a huge difference in coordinating logistics. Whether it was scheduling meet-and-greets, adjusting pickup/drop-off times, or dealing with the unpredictable needs of two energetic puppies, she handled everything with patience and professionalism. It’s rare to find someone with this level of reliability, skill, and heart. Esra is truly a gem, and we wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with her again. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dogs like her own and go the extra mile—Esra is that person.

David took great care of Gus. He provided regular updates and ensured that Gus felt comfortable through the day! He has a knack with dogs and is very confident in taking care of them!

Krystal was amazing! She accommodated me last minute and took great care of my pup. Would definitely book again!

Bruno is always pleased to spend the day at Shannon’s and hang out with her pup Nala. Shannon is thoughtful and attentive to his needs and I don’t worry about him at all during the day as she keeps me informed. Shannon also takes the best pup pics!

Mary took really good care of Tommy. She’s thorough and followed all my instructions. I definitely felt at ease leaving Tommy with her. I can tell Tommy loves being with her and her pup Lucy. Tommy will be in good hands with her while I’m away on vacation in a weeks time ❤️

Alessio and his wife were great with my doggie, they sent me pics and responded quickly to my last minute request. My dog seems happy and relaxed when I picked her up!

Tracy is always so good with my dogs! They come home happy and healthy every time, and I LOVE the pictures and updates she sends me. A kind soul who’s great with dogs!

Tracy is an amazing pet sitter, Roti my very clingy pup loves to stay with her and her dog, she is definitely your to go person!!

We could not recommend Jena more! We had a family event and Jena was great about moving around her schedule so she could help watch our frenchie, Kevin. Jena was right on time for drop off and sent us updates and videos throughout the day to assure us that Kevin was settling in. We will definitely reach out to Jena again next time!

Always an amazing sitter for our baby girl Sza. Sza really loves her too and going with Summer is one of the highlights of her trips when she comes to NYC with us.

Annalies was so great. She checked in throughout the day sending adorable photos and bridger loves her! So happy to keep leaving our dog with her

Hayley is the best! She takes the best care of Winston and regularly sends updates throughout the day.

Best care noah ever got. They were so considerate from the get-go; they asked us things to know beforehand so that they could provide better care for noah. They kept giving us updates on how noah was doing, with multiple pictures. 100% recommend! Wish I can give them more than 5 stars.

Mariah responded to our last minute request to watch Cali so fast, and we’re so grateful! Cali gets separation anxiety, but she was surprisingly fine with Mariah at drop off. Must’ve been Mariah’s chill vibe lol. At pickup, she didn’t even mention that Cali had a big accident in her kitchen (just #1, thank goodness) until I asked!! I felt so bad, but Mariah was so sweet and understanding about it. We’re definitely going to reach out to her again when we need someone to take care of our Cali!
Veronica was so great with Digby, he’s an anxious dog, and she knew exactly how to care for him. She was very communicative, flexible, and clearly loves dogs! It seemed they had a very fun adventurous day with lots of walks and cuddles. Highly recommend!! I will definitely book again

Had a great experience with Stella. She took my dog to central park for a walk, and took a great care of her. Thank you for the stay!

Ana and Luis were great with Luna! I really loved how kind, patient, and communicative they were. They were super understanding about her separation anxiety, which made me feel more at ease. Luna went on plenty of walks and even got to enjoy a trip to the park. I’d definitely have them watch her again!

Eleanor took great care of Winnie! We just moved to the UES and it was great to find a sitter to watch her while I was at the office so she wouldn't be too anxious alone. Great communication, prompt pick up and drop off, will definitely book again.
