“I’m very happy that I found Melissa! She was very gentle and kind with my beloved cat, she spent the entire time of her visit with him, sent me detailed update and cute pictures! Really appreciate her help and for sure will book her service again! Also very pleasant communication with her! Definitely can recommend Melissa!”

“Jessalyn took the time to really get to know Luna, asking thoughtful questions about my expectations for her care. She respected Luna’s boundaries and recognized that building trust and relationships with her would take time.”

Joni M.

“Tabby is absolutely wonderful. My pups and kitty had a lovely time with her. I could tell they were really comfortable while I was gone. She has watched them multiple times at this point and I will definitely be booking her for services again whenever I am headed out of town.”

Paige R.

“I was so worried about Simon but I came back from a 3week vacation and he was wonderful. I know this is because Alison took such good care of him. She was awesome. I would completely recommend her.”

About: Early 40’s year old sitter/walker with car. You could say I have 40+ years of experience. My family had a German Shepherd from before I was born and I was very close to her. There has been a stream of pets in my family. Including so so so many cats in NYC. Even going so far as to “rescue” a half feral one. Currently, I share ownership of a dog. As a small business owner of over 10 years, I am able to have a flexible schedule and spend more time hanging out with your pet(s). That said, I have a lot of experience managing other people, and I do have high expectations for clear communication from clients. I have never had a complaint from clients that already have human children. I am very clear about the kind of care I offer. For example, I clearly state I can do 4-8 hrs for letting out. That does not mean that when I get to the sit, you tell me you expect every hour. I also do not cancel other bookings so that you can be the sole client. I have been through that, obliged, and the client was still dissatisfied. I am running a business and the new owner of this app runs on harsh algorithms that hide you in search. Let’s try to be better and more human, than conforming to private equity and their bottom line. For the fur babies, I can follow their diet and pet or play or brush their hair. As long as you give me a list or schedule, I'll do my best to provide it. I have extensive experience with pets at all stages of life. (As well as other kinds of pets which I am open to caring for.) I understand the care required for a wide variety of needs and can do my best to provide reinforcement on current training, but I am not going to be attuned right off the jump to the nuances noticed by your trainer or you... I can reinforce sit, lay down, paw, stay, heel, rollover, or anything else. I can administer medicine. I am not formally trained in pet CPR, but I am trained in human CPR and have looked at videos for pet CPR. When I was younger I worked as a lifeguard, and have a remarkable natural ability to stay calm and act fast in crisis situations. This comes in handy, for example: when protecting my maltipoo from other dogs, managing territorial behavior, or keeping one dog out of another dog’s bowl. My schedule is flexible and I have a car. I have a small business and partial responsibility of my dog, so I do need to be able to run errands, go to meetings, or check in at home to keep that part of my life running. For extended care, and distance further than 5 miles, I prefer be given the option to stay over at clients for the sake of gas costs, time, and energy. First meeting and approach are important to setting a precedent, I first see if the pet will approach me. I like to offer my hand palm down for them to smell. Sometimes it takes a few times smelling the hand before they feel comfortable letting me pet them. In my opinion it’s important not to mess up first impressions with the pet. Spending time together builds familiarity bonds, being attentive builds trust. It’s important to build rapport.

“Angel was extremely responsive when setting up the meet and greet and took amazing care of Mr Cat! She sent daily photos and updates and he looked happy and cared for!”

Marcy S.

“Nina accommodated me last minute, and did an absolutely fantastic job! she sent me photos of my dogs, and even went out of her way to give them treats at the end of the visit from her own stash when I didn’t have my own, and followed directions perfectly! she made sure to keep any temperaments that I had let her know about in mind while dropping in with them, and my babies seem so happy with her care. will definitely be using her again!”

Christine S.

“Katrina took excellent care of our kitty boy while we were out of town!! She was kind and communicative and took her time playing with him and caring for him. We couldn’t be happier with her service!”

Katie G.

“Megan is an amazing sitter who took great care of my special needs dog when I had to leave town for work. She gave him his insulin without any issues and gave me great notes on how the visit went. She went above and beyond in every visit and she is at the top of my list for future needs. She really kept my heart at ease when I couldn’t be home and made me feel good about leaving him in her care.”

Taylor H.

“I had a great experience working with Emma! She took great care of my kitties and helped give medication to one of them, while also monitoring her condition and keeping me updated every day. It really gave me peace of mind. The kitties are happy to see her again!”

Meng J.

“Meranda did such an awesome job watching my cats. One of them is a senior who requires an inhaler. She made sure both of them were well cared for & both my cats took to her right away. The communication was awesome and 100% would recommend her :)”

“Dana took great care of our cat while we were away! She sent pictures and a detailed note everyday, which made us feel so much better! I would definitely recommend her for cat sitting.”

“Carson did a great job! He was very kind, consistent and communicative- he was even able to cover an extra day for me when my plans shifted! He did a great job keeping my boy taken care of!”

Stix N.

“Emily was wonderful with our three kitties! She was great about keeping us updated and informed during her visits, and even managed to get one of our more shy cats to come out of his shell and play a little during our short time away. ❤️ Would definitely have her watch our cats again!”

Mallory S.

“Anya is a God send. I work 2nd shift and really need someone to give my Blue that 2nd walk of the day. She is caring and thoughtful and very much appreciated by us both!!!”

Charlotte R.

“Lots of great updates, looked like they had great quality time together! Brought peace of mind to see pics of my kitty having such a fun time when I had to find someone to take care of her at the last minute”

About: While I'm fairly new to pet-sitting, I am experienced with both dogs and cats. I became accustomed to caring for dogs when my family welcomed our poodle, Rosie, to our home back in 2020. Everything there is to know about caring for dogs, I am very familiar with! I have also done a handful of kitty check-ins for a friend over the past year, consisting of playtime and plenty of petting. I am so thrilled to get started on Rover! I currently work part-time in healthcare 4 days a week until 1:30pm, so I am available every afternoon, evening, and some mornings for pet care. This also applies to weekends as well! When walking dogs, I make sure to keep an eye out for our surroundings, whether that be nearby people, other dogs, or potentially harmful plants. While I do allow the dog I'm caring for to explore, I also know to keep a short leash when the situation warrants it. As for pet check-ins, I am very respectful of the home I'm being welcomed into. My number one priority is caring for your pet, so I am careful to clean up after them if any accidents happen.

“Jay did a great job checking on and feeding our cats. He even got one of the shy ones to come out and visit him.”
