“Samantha was wonderful. My dogs just took to her, they were comfortable and relaxed. She was attentive to my dogs while house sitting. She was also very communicative, and proactive. She reached out to see if she could give my dog medication due to thunder storms coming. She sent daily photos, reach out if anything didn't seem right with one of my dogs.”
“We love Anna! From the moment she asked if she could come meet my pup before booking, I knew she was amazing. Gracie, my 1 1/2 year old Maltipoo can be challenging and she was so patient and amazing with her. I felt so at ease going to my sister's wedding knowing that someone so caring, reliable, understanding, professional, and communicative was in my home with my fur baby. What I love most about Anna is her love for animals which shines through as soon as you meet her. She will contact you with any questions, which I love, and sent pictures and updates, also love! If you are thinking about booking with Anna, stop thinking and do it. You won't find another person quite like her! If we ever need a sitter again, she will be the first one we call. 💕🐶🐾”
“Samantha was so kind, gentle and caring with my Noelle, I could not have asked for a better “babysitter”! I am so grateful to have met her and look forward to working with her again!”
About: What makes me special about taking care of any type of pet is that I give them my unconditional love, I dedicate myself to them and I make them feel at home, cozy and I give them the attention they need. This helps me because I am very dedicated to my routine. I get up early, eat healthy and exercise. Just as I am dedicated to my daily routine, I am also dedicated to the animals that I take care of and I dedicate myself to them. I have neighbors with very friendly animals. I also provide them with a clean and hygienic area, take them for a walk, play with them and give them my dedication, time and love.
“Hilma was wonderful first time using Rover and hilma. She came beforehand for a meet and greet which was very appreciated.It was such a relief to find someone I felt comfortable with and trusted to leave my boy with and I will be using her again. She took great care of nico sent me updates and pictures answered anytime I texted. Great first experience I will be back !”
“I can’t recommend Alex enough! He accepted a very last minute booking, due to another sitter cancelling, and helped ensure I didn’t stress about it. Alex’s communication was thorough from start to finish - he even sent pics and vids throughout the day. He’s really great with dogs, and even helped me with a few pointers with my new pup. Definitely a reliable and caring guy!”
About: I have lived with cats my whole life so I am very comfortable with them and know how to read them, even ones that are on the more temperamental side. I also have experience taking care of kittens. Dogs and cats both love me because I love to give them attention and am happy to play or cuddle with them. I have experience caring for dogs with challenges such as PTSD and anxiety. Currently this is my main job, so I have a lot of availability and can devote a lot of time and attention to your pet. I am happy to drive or take the train to your home in Nassau, Queens, or Brooklyn. I am available for short drop in visits or long term housesitting and overnight stays.
“Ali went beyond our expectations as a sitter. She was wonderful and we are so grateful she was able to stay with our pups over the Thanksgiving holiday. Our pups were in great spirits upon our return and our home was looking great. I would strongly recommend her to anyone and will definitely be booking again! Thank you Ali!!”

“Julina was great! She was very responsive, sent lots of updates, and helped make our first experience with Rover a positive one. When she asked if our new dog would be interested in playing and learning from her dog, Loki, we jumped at the chance. They played so well together and our dog came out of his shell. We'll be calling on Julina (and Loki) again.”

Maya V.
“To whom it may concern, I recommend Maya Voytelmgum be approved as a house/pet sitter and dog walk for your organization, Rover. Last summer for about 2 weeks, she took care of my mother’s senior Shih Tzu, Nikki. Throughout the 2 weeks, Maya fed Nikki her meals. My mother required her to add some protein and vitamins to the dog kibble, which Maya did with no problem. Additionally, she also took Nikki out for a walk twice a day, as well as cleaned her paws and rear after as needed. Within the duration of her pet sitting, Maya also graciously agreed to take Nikki to the groomers. Nikki is an older dog who doesn't interact with people other than my mother much, however, she seemed to take a liking to Maya during their time together. Throughout the sitting, Maya was very communicative and transparent, even sending me pictures to show my mother periodically. She was very receptive and professional through it all. It is evident she showed Nikki great care and was respectful of our guidelines and needs. Maya is an amazing person and pet lover!”
Matthew G.
“I have had the pleasure of knowing Matthew and can confidently recommend him as someone who provides safe, compassionate care and outstanding customer service. He has cared for my pets on multiple occasions and has cared for them with the utmost attention and kindness, consistently demonstrating reliability and a genuine love for animals. I trust Matthew with my pets completely, he truly treats them like family, and I know that they are in great hands whenever they are under his care. Matthew is not only highly dependable but also communicates clearly and professionally, making every interaction seamless. His integrity, warmth, and dedication make him an exceptional caregiver and a extremely remarkable individual.”
Olivia C.
“Over the last 10 years, I have had 2 dogs, I currently have 2 cats, and I am presently a dog trainer and pet sitter living in NYC. With my experience, I can confidently say Olivia is an exceptional pet sitter and your pet will love her. Olivia has cared for my elderly dog who had a few medical conditions as well as my puppy who had a rare terminal illness. Given their unfortunate medical history, I very rarely left let anyone care for my pets on my behalf, except for Olivia, who has been extremely responsible, loving, and trustworthy! She did not only care for my dogs but for my cats as well. While I was away for the week, Olivia fed them, changed their litter boxes, and even brushed their teeth for us. The cats loved her and recognized her immediately on her next visit! I would recommend Olivia to anyone and everyone.”
