We always know Cooper is in good hands with Shana! This was her first overnight stay with him and everything went super smooth! Cooper was in great spirits and our apartment was extremely clean when we returned! Shana kept us posted with photos and updates the entire weekend :-)

Sarah was great! We have a 4 month old pup that needs attention and care and Sarah was nothing short of amazing with him. She kept us updated and sent pictures throughout the day. Oscar took and instant liking to her. I have no reservations with leaving Oscar with Sarah and will most certainly be working with her again!

My pets had a wonderful time with them. They were very good about communicating and sending pictures while I was away. I would definitely consider having them take care of my pets again.

Thomas was terrible! JUST KIDDING! I just want to keep him only for when I need him!😁 I couldn’t ask for anything more. He initially responded quickly. Showed up when we planned. He kept in touch with me. Sent pictures of my dogs when he was with them and left my house tidy. TJ, thank you again!

Breanna was an excellent sitter while we were away for the weekend! She provided regular updates on our dog with some darling silly photos too. She came and met Wally before staying with him and was very receptive to instructions and keeping him on his schedule. She left the place clean and tidy before leaving. Will definitely book again!

Paula is amazing! So caring and thoughtful, our dog Rosie loved spending the night with her. Lots of walks, lots of snuggles—10/10 would recommend, and can’t wait to work with her again!

This was our first time using Rover and we were definitely a bit nervous about it. It is difficult in this day and age to trust someone to stay in your home and care for your pets. We were away for a two week vacation and were in need of someone to watch our dogs during the week and stay overnight in our home. Lori came through for us in doing just that. We met her first for a meet and greet. After several messages back and forth, she reassured me that our dogs would be well cared for and they were. She is a true animal lover. Our dogs were safe in their home thanks to Lori and did not have to be stressed out in a kennel that was unfamiliar to them. I would highly recommend Lori for taking care of your pets.

Rose took FANTASTIC care of both our dogs and house. Thanks Rose. Not sure they were happy to see us come home! She sent us photos each day we were away, and our house looked better when we got home then when we departed :-) Will definitely be reaching out to Rose for her care again

Lexi watched my three pets, including an older special needs cat. Her communication was wonderful - great question, photos and updates, and just a cheerful confidence that helped me feel very comfortable leaving them in her care. They and the house were in great shape when I returned and I could tell the cats and dog were well cared for. Thank you so much!

We are so grateful to have found Aliza! She stayed at our home with our two pups while we were out of town for a family event. This was the first time our pack of four had been separated since Covid, also our first time using Rover, so I wasn't sure what to expect or how it would go. Plus, it was the Fourth of July weekend and one of our pups is not good with fireworks or thunderstorms. But Aliza rose to the occasion! She swaddled and comforted little Leah during the fireworks with her best Mom skills. She sent plenty of pics so that I was able to feel completely at ease while we were away. Good communications via text. We found Aliza to be reliable and flexible, mature, trustworthy and responsible. The house was left for us in the same condition as she found it. The most important part was that the pups were happy and fine when we returned home. Wagging tails all around! Would definitely recommend and we will definitely rebook with Aliza in the future.

Ianthe did an excellent job caring for my cats while staying at my home. She was detail oriented, reliable, and performed exactly as promised. The cats were well looked after and the house was just as I left it, calm and orderly. It’s always a relief to come home to happy pets and a peaceful home. Highly recommend her services!

Nathan did a wonderful job looking after our three eccentric cats. We have one cat who needs meds twice a day and he had no problem dosing him. Even the shy cat came out for him! We came home to calm, happy cats! Thank you Nate!

About: I've been pet sitting since I was 11 years old, and every year I love my job more. I've looked after dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish and one delightful macaw, and each one I've fallen in love with like they were my own. I enjoy finding what makes every pet happy; does your dog need to sleep clutching her blanket or does your guinea pig brandish hay like it's a sword? No problem. Every animal is unique. I can't wait to meet yours! Important: I do not accept bookings without seeing the house / meeting you & your pets beforehand. This is both for my safety and for your pets’ safety. I am currently a college student, so I am most free on the weekends and nights after 6. Though I'm busy, please believe I will make every effort to be there for you and your pet if you need me. From May to August and mid December to late January, I am free almost all of the time. I do not care for pets in my own home, as there is not enough space, but if I am hired to care for a pet in your home, I will of course respect whatever rules you have for your space. Some clients prefer me to spend time at their houses and "make myself at home" as it were to keep their pet company; some prefer I only stick to my specific jobs. Whichever you prefer, that's completely fine.

About: I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and reptiles. I had two guinea pigs, I have taken care of a few of my friends dogs and cats, I have taken care of another friend’s leopard gecko and I am okay with feeding live prey to pets. I am currently a student at SUNY New Paltz and I am studying Communications there. I will be available from May-August when the Spring 2024 semester ends. I can be trusted with the care of your pets because I love all animals. I am also a very compassionate person and always tend to others needs

About: I’ve had dogs and cats for the last 10 years, and my friends and neighbors have trusted me to walk and feed their pets too! I love cats and dogs of all kinds! I work Wednesday-Monday during the day so I can walk, feed, or play with pets in the afternoons and evenings or I can house sit overnight. I am used to high-energy dogs and cats that need someone to play with and get their energy out, or to take them for a long walk.

About: Hi. My name is Kiki and I love dogs!! I have years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I was a manager at a cage-free dog daycare for 5 years, where I handled everything from group play supervision to administering medications and managing daily care routines. I also volunteered for 3 years at Second Chance Dog Rescue, helping with socialization, walking, and basic training. In addition, I’ve provided trusted pet sitting services in Peekskill, NY for 5 years until the family relocated. I’m trained in pet CPR, comfortable administering all types of medications, and have a dog of my own—so I truly understand how important it is to find someone reliable and compassionate to care for your pets. I have a car, am highly dependable, and treat every animal as if they were my own. Although I work full-time and attend school, I have large daily time blocks available between commitments, which I dedicate to pet sitting, walking, and drop-in visits I care for every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while following their regular routine, my skills are administering medications, and giving personalized attention. Every pet has a specific personality so I try to respect that much like people.

Ja was such a great house and pet sitter! I have a very lazy dog, and a very high energy dog who can be reactive on a leash. Ja did a great job taking care of them! They were happy when we got home. Also she left our place in pristine shape. I can’t wait to use her again!

I booked Sarah on short notice and she was wonderful. She was very accomodating and she kept me updated with pictures and text message. It was a pleasure to work with her and my dog and 3 cats loved her too. Would definitely recommend her and would use her again!

Max is awesome! He came and stayed with our rascally and energetic 6 month old husky mix, Marshmallow, for 3 nights and nearly 4 days. Marshy is a sweetie, but needs a ton of exercise in order to not be a pain in the ass. Max absolutely delivered, took him on pack hikes and runs all around Kingston and New Paltz. We came back late Sunday night to a calm and happy pup. We’ll absolutely book Max again!
