“We came to Brooklyn a month ago, knowing that we would have to make an extended trip to Seattle shortly after getting here. We were terribly anxious about leaving our beloved 13-year old dog, Nikita, with someone we didn't know - and that she didn't know. And then we found Eliza. She stepped in with love, grace and an authentic desire to make Nikita's experience (and ours) the most positive one possible, and she did exactly that. Eliza is a special caregiver, and there aren't enough stars to truly reflect how we feel. Thank you, Eliza. You're the best.”
“Angelica was so wonderful with Pig! She took such great care of our sassy old pittie and even help us start a new crate sleeping routine thanks Pig deciding she needed to sprain her ankle right before we left. She checked in with us each day and was timely in replying to any questions or texts I sent her way. She was respectful of our home and went above and beyond her responsibilities by bring in any packages/mail that was delivered and cleaned all the lickmats, kongs and toys. We look forward to booking her again.”
About: My friends would say my love for animals is one of my most defining features. If you look at my social media explore pages or scroll through my camera roll, it is genuinely just an endless album of adorable dogs and cats I've encountered everywhere. Animals bring me joy that I don’t think can be replicated in another way and it always makes my day whenever I just pass by one. I love wholesomeness and with that said I sincerely care about providing the best possible care, endless affection, and a safe, happy environment for every pet I have the privilege of looking after. It brings me so much unfathomable joy to do what I love most as a hobby as a job. As a part-time student, I have a flexible schedule with a lot of free time on days I don't have classes. This gives me alot of time to schedule pet care into my routine! I like to be a patient and attentive caregiver, understanding that every pet has unique needs and preferences, whether it's during meal times or grooming. I'll actively monitor their environment to ensure their safety and well-being and will always reach out to you if I have any concerns.
“Oleg was amazing! I have a very difficult cat, and he was very patient and calm with her. He is communicative and sends updates daily along with photos. I felt secure being away from home knowing he was taking care of my fur baby. Will definitely be booking again!”
About: I’ve raised / owned and trained many pets my whole life. Always been a animal lover and my friends all come to me for help with their pets. I make my own schedule, sometimes very busy sometimes very open. I am a licensed independent drone pilot and run my own business. I have my fiancée and family and pets of my own to care for as well Getting to know the pet I’m sitting is first, then just making sure the pet is walked fed and taken care of to the best of my ability is my main concern. If the pet is up for it I would love to bond and play with them
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond in caring for our Duke, exceeding all of our expectations. She was prompt, extremely communicative, and provided frequent updates complete with pictures and videos. When Duke became picky with his food, Rachel quickly came up with helpful solutions. It’s clear that Duke loved her, and we will definitely be using her again!”

About: Since the day i was born i have had a small zoo in my home. Over the years i have had pets such as cats, dogs, birds, fish, reptiles and small animals. I absolutely love caring for my animals and it means the world to me to see them healthy and living their best lives! I currently have a 70+ lb pitbull of my own and spend alot of my free time volunteering at an Animal shelter in NJ. Most of that time is spent walking large (sometimes reactive) dogs, so large breeds and strong pullers are not a problem! I am available for drop ins and walks Monday- Friday (and certain weekends). As long as i do not already have a booking, i am usually available too help my fellow animal lovers with their pet care needs! I never leave animals unattended outside ( including fenced in yards). I also assure that all food and treats being offered are approved by the pet parents which i am working with.

Most of my free time is in the evening or on weekends, but I can make overnight dog sitting work! I am comfortable with walking dogs with or with out leashes. I am also an athlete/runner so I can also take dogs on runs if high energy!
About: I have 5 years of hands-on experience as a veterinary assistant in an animal hospital, caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. From energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs, I’m confident handling a wide range of personalities and medical needs. I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and attentive care, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own! I currently attend college Monday-Thursday during short morning or afternoon hours; typically in class between 8am-12pm or 2pm-6pm. I also work overnights as needed on Fridays and Saturdays (3 shifts a month). When caring for pets in your home, I follow their routine exactly to keep them comfortable and stress free. I make sure they’re safe, well-fed, and get plenty of attention, playtime, and love: just like if you were there.

About: I've taken care of dogs and animals of all kinds since I was 6 years old growing up in the farm. I was born and raised in Montenegro (in Europe). Now I am living in the city and I so very much miss being around animals. Dogs especially are truly amazing and my best friends. I ended up getting my dog Peanut in December of 2021, right after my diagnosis with stage 4 metastasis breast cancer. Peanut has been my life savior and I would do anything to make her happy and have her live the best life. Therefore my reasoning for doing Rover is to find a companion for Peanut to have a good time while I am also enjoying taking care of many other dogs 😊 I am an accountant and luckily I am working from home. My boyfriend is a Software developer and he works from home too. Your pup will be taken care of very well. My dog is a shihtzu/Havannese mix little girl born October 11th, 2021. I walk them every 2 hours and I take them for long walks to the park morning and late afternoon for longer time as needed. We have a lot of dog toys, including challenging games. I enjoy playing and cuddling with them, and they can sleep anywhere, couch or bed. They will always be under my supervision and attentive care. I have training in giving them medication, releasing them from stress, and an obedience course.

However, if your dog is not allowed to go into certain areas of the house or onto certain furniture or requires to be put in their cage, I have no problem keeping them out of restricted areas and putting them in their cages before leaving if requested.
