Sydney was absolutely great with my boy Zion. She is very good with pets who need specified patience, attention, and care. I was initially nervous doing this for the first time but Sydney was very communicative, responsive, and patient. I’m relieved to have a new, trustworthy friend for my boy.

Francesca was incredibly patient with my shy cat and even took the initiative to meet her in advance, making sure she felt comfortable with a sitter before I left. She was also very flexible with her schedule, which helped me keep Milli in her regular routine and ensured she was checked on frequently.

This is the second time hiring Monica to take care of our dogs. She was very professional, reliable and patient with our older dog. Also, she makes sure she understands what motivates the dogs to keep them happy. Great communication and sent a lot of pictures during the visits. It's was a peace of mind knowing she was taking care of them. Yes, we will hire her again for our next trip. Thank you Monica!!

About: I have had cats and dogs all my life. I currently have a Pittbull and 5 cats at home. I’ve been doing professional pet care since 2022. I’m currently working as a nurse and am looking for some extra income! My schedule is constantly changing but I do my best to update my calendar with my availability as often as possible. I usually know my schedule for work a month in advance. I don’t do overnight house sitting! I treat animals with respect and try to act in a way that respects their space and makes them feel as safe as possible. I will never force interactions between myself and a pet. They deserve clean places to live and top-notch care!

About: Hi! I’m Zoe! My husband and I are passionate animal lovers who have always had pets in our lives. I have a pug named Pikachu in my family and he has a corgi named Mocha in his family, but after getting married and moving out, we’ve missed having pets around. That’s why I became a sitter—I truly enjoy spending time with furry friends! On weekends, we often help care for our friend’s Samoyed, Cairo, so we have experience with both small breeds like pugs and corgis, as well as medium-sized dogs. Whether it’s puppy care, senior dog care, I’m happy to provide loving and attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs, and give them the care they deserve! 🐾 As a curriculum designer in school, I have a flexible schedule with extended breaks. I works from home, allowing for flexible potty breaks throughout the day. One dog at a time!! When pets stay with me, I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I love spending time outdoors, so I always take them for walks and let them explore safely while I’m out on my daily walks too. I also enjoy taking photos and short videos to capture their happy moments and send daily updates to owners, so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My household includes a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, so I'm comfortable managing everything from giant breeds and high-energy dogs to independent, affectionate cats. Living with a Doberman has given me experience with intelligent, active dogs that thrive on structure, exercise, and attention. My Great Dane has taught me the unique needs of giant breeds, including gentle handling, patience, and awareness of their size and comfort. My two Maine Coons have helped me develop an understanding of feline behavior, grooming needs, and creating a calm, enriching environment for cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I have the space and resources to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐕🐈 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, my days are already structured around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I work with a flexible schedule that allows me to be present throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, supervised play, and check-ins. Pets in my care receive regular attention rather than being left alone for long periods. My large rooftop deck also provides a convenient space for supervised outdoor time and exercise between walks. I understand the importance of maintaining consistency, so I do my best to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding times, medication schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. Whether your pet is energetic and active or prefers a quieter environment, I can accommodate their individual needs and help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. 🐾 Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax, play, and feel at home while you're away. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized large dogs—a Doberman Pinscher and a Great Dane—who are accustomed to being around other animals. I carefully manage introductions and always prioritize each pet's comfort level to ensure a positive experience for everyone. One of the highlights of my home is a spacious 1,600-square-foot private rooftop deck, providing plenty of room for supervised outdoor time, fresh air, play, and exercise. Pets are never left unattended outdoors, and all activities are monitored to maintain a safe environment. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust involved in leaving your furry family member in someone else's care. I'll keep you updated with regular photos, videos, and messages so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. 🐾

Jessica was incredible, we would recommend her in a heartbeat! She went above and beyond, communicating every step of the way and following all instructions precisely. This was the first time we used Rover since our cat started taking daily medication and we were a little unsure about how she would respond to a new person giving her medications but Jessica is clearly a pro! Her updates and the level of care she provided gave us so much peace of mind. We’ll definitely be reaching out again for future care! Thanks Jessica!

About: Hi! My name is Hallie, and I’m a certified animal lover. I grew up with some wonderful dogs and have been a proud cat mom for the last 10 years. I also worked as a dog walker/pet sitter for about six years at a reputable dog walking company in NYC. My time as a professional animal caretaker left me with a wealth of experience with cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes, ages, temperaments, and abilities, so whatever your animal’s unique needs are, I am prepared to provide them with the personalized love and care they deserve. I understand how important your fluffy family members are to you and will happily provide you with as much communication, including details and pictures, as you like. Hope to connect with you and your pet soon! My schedule is very flexible! I make my own hours so I can easily work around your schedule. Weekdays, weekends, and evenings are all fair game. I’m available to stay with your pet in your home, so they can be totally comfortable and their routine, including meals, walks, and play sessions, can remain exactly the same as always.

Simply amazing! I will always ask Alekhandra to take care of my Bruno. This was my first time leaving my baby with a dog sitter and she made both Bruno and myself feel very comfortable and assured that he was in good hands. She even taught me how to properly get the harness on the puppy and how to train him for walks. She’s great and I’m more than happy with her services!

Lin is a very thorough and compassionate catsitter and I’m extremely happy that I booked her for my first Rover appointment. She spent lots of time at the meet and greet to get to learn our preferences and my cat’s personality. My kitty has a big personality and has also been acting out a bit because this was the first time he was taken care of by someone he didn’t know, but Lin consistently offered tons of patience and attention to make sure he felt happy and comfortable with her care. I would highly recommend Lin to anyone!
