“This was my first time using Rover and I was worried about how it would go, but I'm so glad I gave it a try and found Xinyu! She is friendly, positive, and considerate, and really went above what was asked (thank you for taking my packages inside for me..!). Xinyu was diligent with the schedule and followed care instructions to the letter. I would definitely book her again next time I'm out of town. 🖤🐈⬛”

About: Growing up, I lived in the forest so I have taken care of dogs, puppy litters, cats, ducks, chickens, turtles, and fish! I love animals and am excited to take care of yours. I am usually available on short notice and have no problem dog sitting in your home for as long as you need! I have worked for Rover for 5 years in Arizona and am expanding my services to NYC. I work entirely remotely, so I have lots of time to play with your animals! I'm available 7 days a week all throughout the NYC. The first rule is to always listen to the owner and their preferences for their animal. I make sure that the animals have frequent play time, while also strictly following their bathroom and eating schedules.
“Natalia was great and I felt like I could really trust her to take good care of my cat! I’ve never hired a cat sitter before so I was really nervous but it ended up being a great experience. 10/10 would recommend- thank you Natalia!!”

“Morgan was an absolute star when it came to taking care of my senior cat with a variety of health issues that required daily medication. She was patient, loving, kind and most importantly was reliable in my absence. Really appreciated her being able to provide daily updates during drop ins! Can’t recommend her enough and will be rebooking her in the future for sure!”

“Natalia was beyond incredible! She took amazing care of our cat while we were away, sending detailed updates and photos that made us feel at peace - we came back to one happy cat! Would 100% recommend :)”

“This is my third time using Jessie and I’ll always use her (if she’s not booked up!). She is very professional and, as someone who gets a lot of anxiety leaving her precious baby, I feel totally safe and comfortable knowing she’s in Jessie’s capable hands. Everyday I’m away, I look forward to Jessie’s report cards and love seeing the great photos she takes of my cat. I would recommend her highly! Thank you, Jessie!”

“Becca is truly the best. She took care of our 18 year old kitty 🐱 for 3 weeks while we were away! She is kind, communicative and a genuinely nice person. Our cat loves her and trusts her and we couldn’t thank her enough.”

“Alex watched our kitty for the first time and did a fabulous job! She was responsive and sweet with our bundle of fur. We’ve already booked with her again!!”

“Olivia is AMAZING! She’s super attentive and provides detailed recaps and photos with each visit. I always feel guilty when I travel but the cats were visibly happy and comfortable under Olivia’s care. Highly recommend!”

About: I've been passionate about animals my entire life, growing up with pets that adored me just as much as I adored them. My journey as a pet caregiver began in my early twenties when one of my responsibilities was daily walking my boss's dogs. These dogs were of different sizes and personalities, so I had to find an individual approach to each of them, which I found myself enjoying a lot. At that time, while focused on establishing my career as a web developer, I couldn’t imagine that taking care of other people's pets would become such a significant part of my life. After meeting my wife, our shared love for animals brought us even closer. After moving to New York in 2016, we missed having pets around. We started by taking care of our friends' and coworkers' dogs during their travels, both as a favor and to enjoy some pet time ourselves. This experience inspired us to take our pet care services to the next level. For the past few years, while balancing our day jobs from home, we've been dedicated to providing top-notch pet care services, making sure every pet we look after feels loved and well-cared for. Whether it’s just one walk, a couple of drop-in visits over the weekend or multiple weeks of pet sitting, we tailor our approach to each pet’s comfort level and preferences. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. This allows me to be available for check-ins, walks, and playtime whenever needed. We are insured and Pet First Aid and CPR certified, giving pet parents peace of mind knowing their fur babies are in safe, capable hands. We understand how difficult it can be to leave your four-legged family member with someone else, which is why we make sure to constantly send photos and videos to keep you updated and give you peace of mind.
“I rarely feel comfortable leaving my pets, and Kathy certainly took all of the stress away. She is very attentive and treated my fur-babies as if they were her own. I thoroughly enjoyed her photo updates and daily messages about how everything was going, and was she was also kind enough to bring our packages inside while we were away. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”

“Absolutely fabulous! I cannot say enough good things about Rosanna. My cats are very shy with new people and prefer to hide. But within one day of Rosanna visiting, they were literally eating out of the palm of her hand! She went about and beyond in the care of our cats and we will definitely be hiring her again.”

“Austin was a huge help in a pinch when I had a long stretch of work and needed someone reliable to walk Teemo. He stepped in on short notice and did a great job — Teemo came back happy, energized, and clearly very pleased with her adventure. Would definitely book with him again!”

“Theresa did an excellent job with our house visit (which involved two 35lb puppies!) She had no trouble following my directions and everything looks to have gone perfectly. I will definitely book again for future pet needs!”

“Victoria is always so trustworthy! She takes great care of my sweet lab and always sends lots of pics and detailed reports that give me peace of mind when I’m away! Highly recommend 😀👍🏼”

“Tiffany went above and beyond caring for my puppy Henry. She is reliable, great with little training tips, and stayed over time without hesitation. I will certainly book with Tiffany again!”

“Abdelkader was a great companion to Rose while I was gone. His regular check-ins with pictures gave me a lot of peace of mind. I would book with him again per his availability.”

About: Hi! I’m John Scott Roberts, a 25 year old animal lover based in the Murray Hill/ Kips Bay area. I grew up with dogs and cats have been pet sitting for family and friends for the past six years. I have experience with puppies and kittens, senior pets, and reactive dogs. I recently moved to the area and am hoping to pet sit part-time. My schedule is very flexible right now while I am applying to law school. I don’t have pets of my own currently but my apartment allows pets below 60lbs. For pets larger than that, I am more than happy to accommodate in your home. I have experience with high energy dogs and will be able to walk and crate dogs regardless of size or energy level.
Murray Hill pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kathy took great care of our cat. It was our first weekend away as pet parents and she made it stress-free. She sent lots of photos and gave our kitty a lot of attention & playtime. I greatly appreciated her willingness to coordinate key exchange before/after the stay.

Sandy was SUCH a great caretaker for Theo. She provided detailed updates and ample photos and treated Theo like her own. I could tell he quickly bonded with her & she went over and above to make him (and me) comfortable and happy. Will definitely work with her again!

Chloe is clearly very experienced working with animals. She watched our cat for 2 weeks and gained the cat’s trust very quickly. It gave us peace of mind while we were away knowing our pet was in caring hands. Chloe provided great updates and photos while also being very responsive. She came in the clutch on short notice to watch our cat. We will definitely be in touch with Chloe for future visits!
