“Lauren was great with Rupert. She sent multiple pictures and videos during his stay. Her dog Lila seemed like a perfect play match. See you around the neighborhood. Thanks again for accommodating on short notice! A+”
“Susan took great care of Indy while I was away. I received frequent updates which helped keep me at ease while I was out of town. Susan was very diligent getting Indy’s food/ outside routine down. Thank you, Susan!”
“Eleanor was the perfect sitter for our dog Basil. She cared for her and loved her as if she were her own. Do not hesitate to book Eleanor. She is wonderful.”
“This was the second time my Noodles spent time with John. He came home super calm, happy and tired which is so unusual for this energetic puppy. Thank you so much!”
“As someone who is very hesitant to leave my dog with anyone, Micaela & Jesse made it so easy for me. They are both kind hearted and sweet in nature so my dog immediately felt safe with them (I did too haha) I appreciated the fact that they asked for a meet and greet for us to all meet. While away, Micaela sent pictures of Cora everyday and updates which really helped to ease my mind. You can tell Cora was happy and well cared for. I will definitely be booking them again.”
“This was our second time booking with Tatiana and I truly couldn’t have left my traumatized, nervous, rescue dog in better hands. My dog LOVES Tatiana, Moki, AND her husband (which is huge because she hides under the couch from all men). They treat her like family and Moki has patiently increased my dog’s confidence so that she always comes back a healthier dog who continues to progress in the short time they play together. My dog RUNS to Tatiana’s house now and I truly couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with my dog because she loves everyone in that family so much :)”
“Vanessa was very flexible with pick up and drop off time and is extremely friendly. She sent a lot of updates throughout my pup's stay with her, so I was never worried or wondering what and/or how he was doing. He was super happy when I left him and was happy at pick up as well. Overall, he looked like he had a ton of fun with the other dogs & with Vanessa. 10/10 experience!”
“Chris was an incredible sitter for my dog, Oreo, during an extended stay. He treated Oreo like family—kept to our routine, sent regular updates and photos, and made sure he felt right at home. I could tell Oreo had a great time and was well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Chris again. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda was so attentive and responsive. I left my baby Melly with her for about a week and she would constantly update me about her. I would definitely recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a sitter for their fur baby.”
“Cooper has stayed with Nicole twice so far and the second time I bought him to her house, he ran inside. She seems to be very attentive and is incredibly responsive. We’ll definitely be staying here again! Thank you for the awesome experience for my dogs first boarding.”
“Nancy was great. She sent me pictures everyday. Also when I picked up my little fur baby she was happy to see me but she seemed like she really didn't mind if I left her there longer, which is a good sign.”
“I’ve had the pleasure of leaving my dog, Penny, in the care of this amazing couple on more than one occasion, and I truly can’t recommend them enough. They treated her like part of their family, along with their sweet dog, Duke, and made sure she felt safe, loved, and entertained while I was away. Each time, they sent photo updates regularly and shared how she was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear how much they care about animals and go the extra mile to make sure your pup is happy and comfortable. Penny always comes home calm and content, a sign to me that she’s had a great stay. If you’re looking for reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely loving dog sitters, look no further. Penny and I are so lucky to have found them! They are for sure our go to doggy sitters furever!!”
“Xavier took amazing care of my dog Luna. He sent several videos with updates and kept me informed of how she was doing. I would definitely book again due to the amazing care she received! Luna came home smelling good and was extremely happy!”
“If I can give 10 stars I would! Grace was a heaven sent! She was wonderful with my 5 month puppy Sadie from the first meet to pick up. She is a wonderful person overall. I was so nervous to leave Sadie for a week as it was my first time doing this. But Grace made me feel comfortable from the first moment we met. She sent updates all week and videos of Sadie playing. She is trustworthy and so loving and Sadie loved her! Grace made it so easy for me and I intend to continue leaving Sadie with her. Look no further, Grace is a perfect fit!”
“I never thought I'd become a cat dad, but now that I am one his comfort is my top priority. Yakie made my cat super comfortable and went above and beyond to ensure he had fun while I was away. I would highly recommend her and will be booking again in the future.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Shirley for the weekend. He has separation anxiety and she was accommodating towards his needs to ensure he had a stress free stay with her. I appreciate how she was flexible with my drop off and pick up times. Would definitely hire her again!”
“Eduardo took care of our Rescue Coco for a week and she had a blast during her boarding, especially in the backyard. Eduardo allowed us and Coco to visit before boarding so that she was able to explore the environment, get to know him and meet the rest of his family. Eduardo took great care of Coco and sent us daily updates and pictures. We definitely recommend boarding with him.”
“Susan was highly amiable and kind. She communicated with me throughout the stay. I am appreciative of her efforts to ensure the welfare of my Keiko. I shall be contacting her again”
About: Hi there! I’m Kelly an animal lover based in Little Neck, NY, with a flexible afternoon schedule and a passion for caring for pets like they’re family. Whether you’re looking for a dependable dog walker, a quick drop-in visit, or overnight boarding in a safe, pet-friendly home — I’ve got you covered! I’ve grown up around dogs and cats, and I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I make sure every dog gets the care and attention they need — whether it’s an energetic walk, a belly rub, or just someone to keep them company. 🔹 Services I Offer: – Dog Walking (available weekdays after 3 PM) – Drop-in Visits for feeding, potty breaks, and play available after 3pm and most weekends! – Occasional Boarding (your pet stays at my home) My home is safe and pet-friendly, and I only board one pet at a time to make sure your dog feels relaxed and at home. I know every pet is unique, so I’ll always follow your instructions closely and send regular updates and photos so you feel connected even while you’re away if this would be helpful! Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet so your pup can get to know me! 🐾 I currently have a full time job but am out of work by 3pm which leaves me plenty of time to take care of pups in the evenings! I also have availability over most weekends! ⸻ I provide a safe, loving home with lots of playtime and walks! I follow all care instructions closely and treat every pet like part of the family. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities!
“Lynn was phenomenal. Not only was she incredibly nice with us but she treated our baby, Peanut, like her own baby. She gave us daily updates with photos and he looked to be having a relaxing time at Camp Lynn. I will always use her, exclusively, every time we need a dogsitter and highly suggest everyone else do the same!”

Oakland Gardens pet parents share their Rover experiences
She was able to accommodate a last minute request and was so great while watching Noodle. It was also my first time using Rover and she answered all questions and made me less stressed about leaving my dog with a stranger. She sent updates, took my dog with her on errands - couldn’t have asked for anyone better!
Aritra was the best with our pup! He was very thorough in the booking process which I appreciate because I care about the type of my care my dog will receive. I appreciated the daily updates, videos and pictures and could tell my dog was well loved. Will absolutely re-book with Aritra in the future.
Lawrence is incredible! He took such wonderful care of my cat Gidget over several nights, and I felt completely at ease knowing that she was in such good hands. Lawrence consistently communicated - he regularly sent me photos and videos, which not only reassured me, but also showed how comfortable and happy Gidget was. It’s clear Lawrence truly cares about animals, and treats them like his own. I’ll definitely be reaching out again for future stays, and would highly recommend him!
Leon is a patient, caring, and responsible pet sitter. I am very lucky and grateful to have been able to use Leon’s services which was boarding my dog, Leela, for 8 days while I was on vacation. Leon listened to my dog’s needs and daily routine so Leela will feel comfortable and less anxious in a new environment. I also appreciated that Leon was open to meeting me prior to boarding Leela so she can meet Leela and show me her home where Leela will be staying. It was nice and clean and dog friendly. Leon texted me daily updates on Leela while I was away. I will definitely be using Leon’s services in the future! I highly recommend Leon.
This is the first time I’ve used Rover and will most definitely not be the last thanks to Christine and Nate! From the moment they met my lab, Cujo, I knew he was in great hands. Though the stay was only for one day, I received tons of pictures of Cujo (Which I really appreciated) living his best life! They treated Cujo like family. From their immense kindness to their reputable knowledge of animals, I highly recommend Christine and Nate to anyone who wants their pets to be in the best care. We will most definitely book in the future.
This was Jack’s 2nd visit with Yasmeen and I could tell he was well taken care of. He was as happy as ever when I picked him up and I’m so glad he has her dog, Alford, as a play buddy while he’s staying with her. Would definitely have Yasmeen watch Jack in the future and recommend her to anyone.
I didn't think I would ever be able to trust anyone with my tripod. Emma and her husband were great with Cersei. Cersei immediately attached to them like she knew them forever. They did everything possible to make her feel right at home, as well as ease my mind with constant photo updates, and soothe her upset stomach (which probably came from her separation anxiety). I will definitely be using them again if I ever need someone to sit my fur baby.
Anita and her partner are the best dog-sitters - we cannot express our gratitude enough for taking incredible care of our dog for a week! They are the most loving, thoughtful, caring, and kindhearted carers. We could tell how happy our dog was in their hands - smiling and running to their door, ready to find new toys to play with, and go on walks. They sent us constant updates, photos, and videos. We feel so lucky to have Scooter in their hands, especially when we were across the country! Please consider the highest recommendation we can give. Thank you to Anita and her partner a million times!
Glaelle accommodated our flexible drop-off time, provided updates daily, and is very sweet! I trusted her with my favorite thing in the entire world and she delivered. I will definitely opt to use Glaelle in the future! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our little guy!
Thank you so much for babysitting Juju and taking such wonderful care of her! You’re truly the best dog sitter ever. She absolutely loves spending time with you and Marlee—it’s clear she feels right at home with you both. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your kindness and the love you show her. Thanks again for everything! 🐾💕
Nikolaos was an exceptional dog sitter. Baily was well taken care of and happy during the time spent with him. Communication was great and we got daily updates, pictures and videos. Nikolaos went above and beyond to make sure she ate well and was happy. Definitely will book him again to take care of my fur baby. Made my trip more enjoyable knowing she was in good hands.
Filomena was great with my dog, Rosie. She went above and beyond what a typical sitter does. She sent many messages, pictures, and offered to pick her up/drop her off. She is also very understanding and follows the schedule. We were able to rest assured that our dog Rosie was in good hands.
Lynn’s DogBNB #1: My puppy was in GOOOOD HANDS. To begin, Lynn gave us a very uplifting yet calm impression when we first met. She seemed to be familiar with puggles and their traits which was a huge plus in my book. Secondly, Lynn had a nice controlled setup in her well gated backyard where she allowed Walnut to get plenty of air and have roaming time throughout his 3day/2night stay with her. (Thank you for the adorable pictures!) Lastly, Lynn even volunteered to cook up some sweet potatoes as a food topper for my picky eater Walnut so he would actually finish his dinner. I mean how incredibly thoughtful was that? As a frequent traveler, it is extremely crucial for me to find someone experienced that will have Walnut’s best interest in mind at ALL TIMES while we are separated. Extra love and kindness. Isn’t that what we all as pet parents are searching for when our dogs are confused and anxious about as to why they are left behind in a strangers’ home? I’m grateful for the peace of mind that Lynn gave us during my last minute booking with her. I’m sure Walnut is also looking forward to his next doggyvacay with Lynn. ⭐️
