“After an initial hiccup, she was very communicative and took great care of our animals while we were on vacation! She kept us up to speed with many pictures and when we returned home our house was as clean as we left it and our animals were calm and doing well.”

“Keith was very responsive and available to come to our home to meet Abbot before our trip. When we left for our trip, he arrived at our home on time, let me know he was here, and sent pics of the dogs. He maintained regular communication and pictures even though we were only gone two days. He was schedule was accomodating if we ran into weather issues, which luckily we did not. He let me know when he left the house and it was in the exact same condition as when we left. We were comfortable having him our home and will use him again on our next trip.”

“We booked Avery to look after Oatie at our Airbnb, and they were fantastic again. Communication was spot on, they arrived promptly, and we felt completely at ease leaving Oatie with them. Avery clearly has a lovely, calm way with dogs—Oatie was relaxed and happy when we got back. We wouldn’t hesitate to book them again.”

“Riya is simply awesome! Here’s why: She got sick before house sitting but still showed up and later she found out she had a flu and went to ER. But she still got back to our dog, Jacob, and took good care of him. Also, she disinfected the whole house and did laundry to make sure we don’t get the flu. Isn’t it just awesome!? I would definitely 100% recommend Riya, and we will book with Riya again.”


About: Hey there! I’m Kristen. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was in elementary school! I have experience taking care of and owning small and large dog breeds, cats, and even farm animals like goats, pigs, turkeys and cows! I also worked at a local public alpaca farm, Majestic Meadows, and provided love, care and husbandry for a variety of exotic and farm animals, including horses, donkeys, alpacas, llamas, and more! I have experience working with animals who have special dietary needs, special medication needs, senior pets, and pets who have physical disabilities and need extra care and aid! I can brush your pet, clean their ears and teeth (if they will let me and it is safe to do so), and give them a simple bath if you would like! Lastly I do have experience in basic behavior training for dogs, including click/reward training to teach sitting, lay down, and release, however I am NOT a professional dog trainer and am not willing to sit for dogs that experience highly aggressive behaviors or biting towards new people. I am currently doing Rover full time, so I will have plenty of time for your pets needs and for playtime, and am able to make sure that bathroom breaks and meal/snack times are not spaced too far apart :) For house sitting I cannot stay full time around the clock as I often have doctors appointments I need to attend, so I may have to come and go, but I would not be gone for longer than 3-4 hours at any given time, so if your fur baby can be alone for 3-4 hours, then I can accommodate for that 😊 I make sure to closely follow any given instructions for pet care, including instructions for a special diet or medications, and if the pet needs any special needs care or aid with grooming! I like to go over the details with clients of how their pet may like to play, how they get along with other animals/people, how they like to be pet, how they do on walks, what their favorite snacks are, and of course any special needs such as oral medications, special dietary needs, etc… to make sure that I am offering the highest quality of care and comfortability for their fur baby! I also make sure to pay close attention to timing between meals, snacks and potty breaks so their pets don’t become uncomfortable or have any accidents. Lastly, I make sure to give lots of love and attention to their pet so they don’t feel lonely!
“Joseph did a great job with taking care of Bosco and the house. He was very responsive when I reached out to see how things were going; and he notified me when he thought I might have a concern about Bosco. He took great care of the condo and left it very neat. Great job!”

“Ebony was so kind and helpful throughout my dog baby's visit. She sent me tons of photos and updates while she had my baby. Baby(my dog) was well taken care of threwout her stay with Ebony. I'm so grateful for her, as she took my booking last minute since I had an unexpected family emergency come up. I will definitely use Ebony again in the future seeing as how amazingly she took care of what I consider a family member to me.”


About: I've been taking care of animals since I was a kid, whether for friends family or volunteering at the Cleveland APL. I currently work at the cat cafe in Cleveland where I have taken care of cats from all walks of life, with all different needs. At home I have two cats (19 and 13) and one dog (18). I have experience with both dogs and cats with many different medical conditions including diabetes, anxiety, hyperthyroidism, dementia, arthritis, CH, and many more! I usually work mornings, so I can do quick visits before work, but have lots of time in my afternoon/evenings to spend time with the animals if that's something that they need! I always like to visit your home and meet the animals and see how you interact with and accommodate your animals! Making sure that the transition between me and you is as seamless as possible and giving the animals a sense of routine is extremely important to me!
“I couldn’t have found a better sitter for my beagle. This is the first time he has had a sitter since we rescued him. Madison knew exactly what to do to help Flash adjust to her. Madison’s love for dogs is apparent by the time she spent playing with him and the wonderful pictures she sent with comments. She always responded quickly to all communication. I feel 100% confident leaving my dear dog with her. With all of that said I must add that her warm and friendly personality is a major plus. She has earned the highest score possible for top notch dog sitters!”


“I was nervous about leaving my little one's with someone but Barb was great. She played with them and took them for walks. When I got home they were happy to see me but when I mentioned Barb's name they got excited so I know they liked her. I will recommend her to others and I will ask her to come back again.”

“Olesja took care of our pups Avery and Atlas over the weekend and we had an outstanding experience! She went above and beyond, taking fantastic care of Atlas and Avery. They absolutely loved their long walks and the personal attention they received. Our home was spotless when we returned, even cleaner than when we left. Her regular photo and video updates kept us connected and reassured throughout the entire weekend. Highly recommend her for ultimate peace of mind and top-notch pet care!”

“Danielle was truly heaven sent while we were on our honeymoon. Our dog has special needs and she handled everything like a pro! Our pup even had some tummy troubles while she was there and she went absolutely above and beyond to take care of him until we could get back. We are so grateful to have found Danielle and we will absolutely book with her again!”

About: What sets me apart is that I’m home full-time and it’s just me taking care of your pet, so they get constant attention and one-on-one care. I’m patient, gentle, and experienced with both puppies and senior pets, and I always follow each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy. It’s just me caring for the pets, and I don’t work, so pet care fits into my day really naturally. I have plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving each pet the attention they deserve. I have a very clean house no smoking in the house I have a big yard in the front to play all day in. And my house is good enough space
Old Brooklyn pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lydia did an excellent job! She communicated well, sent us lots of pictures, and asked all kinds of questions to ensure she was providing the best care possible. We appreciated her flexibility, friendliness, and holistic care for our pup. Glad to have her back in the future!

Cameron did a fantastic job with our two dogs. He was communicative with us while we were out of town and proactively sent us updates on what was going on. He took great care of our house as well. I would definitely refer him to a friend and plan on working with him again in the future.

Ari is fantastic! She came over for a meet & greet, and both of my dogs were so calm and happy in her presence. She dogsat my older dog in our home while we were on a weekend trip and provided consistent communication (and lots of cute pics!) and went above and beyond to make sure Hendricks was taken care. Will definitely book Ari again, the dogs loved her!

Alivia was extremely responsive and responsible. She took wonderful care of Anakin, giving him lots of exercise and cuddles. She also took wonderful care of our home. She sent regular updates and photos and responded to any questions promptly. Our house was immaculate upon our return, and she even stripped her bed, washed the sheets and replaced them before we arrived home. Highly recommend Alivia and hope to have her stay again.
Zach was amazing with Nova and sent a lot of pics during his time caring for her. He also offered to do some house chores (watering plants, taking the trash out, bringing in mail, etc). I felt at ease going on vacation knowing that she was in good hands, would definitely book with him again.
