“Sophia is WONDERFUL! She has been walking our senior dog Luci for a few weeks. Luci requires special attention and Sophia has done a great job accommodating for her. In addition, Sophia always leaves us a detailed Rover card of how the walk went. The pictures she sends from their walks always brighten our day!”
“Alley was great with my rescue pup Pedro! She managed all of his quirks without a problem and was gentle, kind, attentive and communicated well. Highly recommend!”
“I am so thankful to have found Serge on Rover. My regular dog walker had to move away with little notice, and I needed a walker ASAP. Based on the reviews, I took a chance on Serge and knew I had made the right choice from the first time we interacted. He is so communicative, and I can tell he loves dogs. This is definietey the guy you want walking your dog.”
“Rosanna G. Has truly been a puppy angle she gained my dogs trust immediately and gave her all the attention she needed. Rosanna also kept me informed and update on their walks together with vids and pics almost making me jealous because i wanted to be on the walks as well. LOL Thank you Rosanna Harley and i appreciate you and Rover…”

“This was our first time using Rover and a dog walker and Brittany is now Quincy’s new special friend! We appreciate so much her willingness to come to meet Q ahead of the first walk/visit. Great experience and we feel very fortunate to have found Brittany to trust Q with. We are so grateful!”
“Ashley is incredible. She has provided our dog with consistency, care, and affection. Our dog is extremely fond of her. Ashley always arrives to walk our dog when she is scheduled to do so, and diligently communicates when anything is different or atypical in his behavior. She is very attuned to him and carefully pays attention to his signals to determine what he needs. Ashley is extremely careful and conscientious when caring for our dog, and she clearly has a keen love of animals. We appreciate all that Ashley has done for our dog and would recommend her services to anyone who is seeking attentive dogcare!”
“Ruby loved Haley from the moment they met. We are so happy we're so close in the neighborhood and look forward to building a lovely relationship as Ruby gets used to the craziness of the city.”
About: I did trusted house sitters (similar platform to rover) for a number of years where I traveled and watched dogs and cats. Now I have my own! I am a true animal lover and will keep them happy, healthy, and entertained. I’m a grad student and I have my own Pomeranian, and she’s extremely friendly. I live right next to Morningside Park and we go to the dog run often. I am very flexible and experienced in overnight care as well. We have an elevator in my building and my apartment is a large 3BR. Happy to pick your doggo up if needed! We live next to morningside park.
“Amber was fantastic. My pup was recovering from a tooth extraction when Amber watched her. I was a nervous wreck leaving her but Amber went above and beyond to make sure both of us were comfortable. I will definitely be requesting her services again.”
About: I have been a dog-walker and pet caretaker for most of my life! I love all pets, especially dogs; they're one of the best parts of life. I have a 3 y/o 35 lb Norwegian Elkhound who is remarkably calm, loves all dogs, & great at picking up on & respecting other dogs’ cues. I also work from home and can give your pet all the lovings, exercise, & attention they need. Before having my own dog I have also worked long-term with shih tzus, pitbulls, labs, labridoodles—dogs of all sizes and varying levels of sociability. I’m experienced at meeting the needs of rescue dogs, kennel-bred dogs, dogs who don’t play well with others, and more. I have also done days and weeks of dogsitting for vacationing pet parents, and have cat-sat too! I even once drove a sweet, anxious rescue pit-mix puppy cross-country--from New York to Arkansas--by myself! I’ll walk your pets regularly, play with them a ton, feed them according to your wishes, and love them as though they were my own fur babies. I work from home, which enables me to respond to any/all needs that may arise. Otherwise, I would walk and feed your dog similar to how I care for my own—long (~1h) morning walk, shorter (~0.5h) afternoon walk, and another 0.5h-1h walk in the evening, including dog park time but only if that’s something you’re comfortable with. I also take my dog out to make a quick pee before I go to bed and would do the same for yours. Meals are after the AM and PM walks—or whenever you otherwise prefer. Your pet will have access to plenty of toys (that are fine to be destroyed) all day, and is free to play with my dog as they choose (if that’s something you’re ok with!) I have a crate that my dog doesn’t use if you want one for your dog—no need to bring! I live alone in a 1BR within a very small apt building that is dog friendly. There is a fenced back patio area in my building as well that they can use.
“Kateryna was so helpful walking Laika a few times for us. She arrived promptly, sent us pictures of the walk, and was communicative. Will be booking with Kateryna again!”

I am very particular about who I allow to care for my dog while I’m away, but know that I can trust Meredith. It’s evident that she cares deeply about animals, and treats my Rosie like she would her own dog. If anyone needs a reliable, attentive, and caring dog sitter, I highly recommend Meredith”
