“Molly was incredibly proactive, warm, and communicative in taking care of our Hecate and Loki, being willing to meet them first because Hecate's a scaredy cat and so we wanted her to be comfortable with them, giving thorough and consistent updates, and made them feel relaxed while we were away! So lucky to have met Molly and Hecate and Loki look forward to future visits!”
“Beth did a wonderful job caring for our two cats. Her twice daily updates were thorough and enjoyable to read, and we also really appreciated the wonderful pictures she sent. We have one outgoing cat and one shy cat; Beth was very attentive to both the cat's needs. We (and the cats!) look forward to her next visit.”
“Emily was great! She followed all the instructions I left for checking on my cats. During her drop-in visit, she played with them and sent plenty of pictures. She is moving soon, otherwise I would be a repeat client!”

“David helped me out last minute when another sitter canceled on me! He was great and very patient with mocha, as she took her time warming up lol. He showed up everyday on time, was very communicative in making sure mocha’s needs were met. Would recommend booking David for your fur babies!”
“Christina was a great cat sitter! Punctual, reliable, kind, played with the cats, and managed all the particulars of various diets and supplements, etc. She was flexible and could accommodate a last minute change when I couldn’t get home in time.”
“Excellent job, as previously. Wendy sent me daily updates and photos of Chloe, and she even brought her some treats. She was also very professional and reliable. She went above and beyond to ensure Chloe's play and social needs were met. I highly recommend Wendy to anyone who needs a cat sitter.”
“Svenja is a delight to work with. She's reliable, personable, clearly cares about dogs. We got pictures and reports about how our dog was doing on their walks. Highly recommend her and plan to engage her to dogsit again.”
“Tracy was beyond amazing!! This was my first time using Rover as I was out of the country for a few days. I was naturally a bit nervous but Tracy immediately offered a meet & greet to come meet my cat Lily before I went away. She sent soo many pictures and videos which showed just how much Lily loved Tracy & how happy lily was when Tracy came by each day! She kept an eye on her water bowl, took care of her litter, and turned on the air conditioning on days where it felt a little warm! Tracy went so above and beyond & I know lily can’t wait to have her come by again!!”

About: I had two beautiful dogs of my own but we had to say goodbye to one of our girls. Recently relocated for my wife’s career and will have a little extra time as we get settled so figured I’d try to help NYers be at ease with their busy schedules. My schedule is flexible and would love to help you out with your fur child / children. We never like to leave our little ones for too long but sometimes get caught in a pickle! Happy to help put your mind at ease knowing your dog is taken care of when you have those busy / long days or just have some social plans! Look forward to making more furry friends in the area. I am very active and already walk my dogs around Central Park and Riverside park daily. Our 6 year old fur child would love to have a friend to go to the park with! We have a dog friendly building and are a short walk to both Riverside and Central Park. Both my dogs are extremely friendly with dogs and children. Love to make sure pups are getting the love and exercise the need.
“Best cat sitter in town! Thank you Leta for your detailed rover cards. We are so lucky to have found you. I can always count that you will take excellent care of my cats and home.”
