“Melissa and Steven had two drop-in visits over the weekend for my kitten Autumn. This was our first time booking a pet-sitter for our kitten and they were very understanding and friendly. They gave us lots of updates every time which definitely eased our mind. Most importantly, we are sure Autumn was very happy to play with them and appreciated their visits. We already rebooked them for this week.”

“Saoirse stayed with my cat and it brought me piece of mind. She is a great communicator, sending photos and giving updates. She asks great questions and creates clear expectations. So grateful for her.”
4. Chelsea L.
“Chelsea was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and I was unsure of the process and booking procedures. But once I met with Chelsea, she was very professional and listened to what I needed for my trip. I had booked her and went on a two-week vacation - and I felt very comfortable within the first couple of days, as Chelsea had went above and beyond, feeding my four cats and bird and providing exceptional updates with photos and messages. She was communicative, prompt, and very friendly to my cats. I would book her again without a doubt - excellent cat sitter and highly recommended! I am very satisfied.”

“Gerri took very good care of my cats during the week we were traveling. She is very friendly and love animals and my 2 cats liked her, too. I'll ask her again next time. Thank you for your support. And see you later. Thank you again!”
6. Patrick L.
“I travel alot for business in my new position and knowing that, I had debating finding a better home for my one year old dog. A friend of mine recommended Patrick to care for my dog while I was away. She has used him for years and had nothing but great things to say about him. We'll a few days later, he came by my house fir an "interview" and have him meet my dog to see how they would get along. OMG, you would've thought that MY dog USED TO BE Patrick's dog !! They instantly bonded with Pat's natural ability to blend with my dogs personality !! It was like they were old friends !! My dog gets so excited to see him whenever he comes by and he exercises him and plays with him aside from the usual things that you pay a dog sitter to do !! Patrick is Great at What he does and I trust him 100% not only with my Lucky but to be in my home when I'm away. It could not have worked out better for everyone; Lucky remains my loyal dog and in my house and Pat is trustworthy, dependable and my dogs second best friend !! I can't thank my friend enough fir recommending Pat to me to take care of Lucky whenever I have to travel for work !!”
7. Nicole M.
“We will definitely be using Nicole again! I’ve never used a site like this before and I’m more then pleased! Nicole messaged me and sent photos every time she went to walk the dogs. It was so nice to see pics of our pups while we were away. We appreciate the care and time she put into our babies.”
8. Michael S.
“Michael has been a pet owner his entire life, as a child and even as he raised his own family. He has been caring for his senior dog Scarlet for almost eighteen years, and has taken care of pets for friends and family while they were on vacation. Dogs and cats alike! He is very much an animal friendly person.”
9. Kalista A.
“Kalista was wonderful with our pups. She took such good care of them and documented everything with notes and pictures. One pup got sick while we were gone, and she cleaned up after him and stayed with him longer to make sure he was okay. She was so friendly and made us feel comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. Would not hesistate to use Kalista again!!”
10. Melissa S.
“great communication! trustworthy, responsible. My car was in good hands.”
11. Joseph G.
About: I've had pets throughout my life, mostly dogs and a few cats. As you can see in my photo on my profile, that is my buddy, Reggie. He's been with our family since he's a puppy and has brought our family great happiness and joy. I am retired, so I have the time (outside of doctor appointments and Costco runs with the wife) to take care of a few pets while their families are working/vacationing. I consider myself a conscientious dog owner. When I walk my dog, he's on a leash. For his safety and others. If he's off the leash, I make sure it's an enclosed area. When it comes to going potty, I make sure it is properly disposed of. When it comes to other dog interactions, that would be your call. Me personally, I'm not a big fan, unless I know the owner and dog. I will adhere to these practices even with your loved one and treat them like they are mine. For those that may consider using my House-Sitting Services, I am a retired NYPD Detective with a NYS armed guard license.

“Jill was amazing walking my dog! He came back home so happy wagging his tail. We will definitely be using her again and again! Thank you Jill!!”
15. Arin P.
About: I grew up fostering dogs and cats and have cared for dogs of all ages with a wide variety of needs. I am experienced with dogs with behavioral and medical issues of all sorts as well as cats, fish, tarantulas, birds, guinea pigs, and lizards. I currently work full time on a flexible schedule and am able to work remotely most days for at least half the day. My normal workday is from 10-6. I prefer to meet your pet where they are at and only use crates if that is what they are used to and comfortable with. I also always walk dogs with a leash and harness and prioritize safety. I will only let them off leash inside the home or at a fenced dog park with your approval.
16. Alexis G.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs for 14 years as well as doing local pet-sitting for neighbors and friends. I have personally owned 4 dogs through my life, 3 from puppyhood. I am familiar with care for seniors and puppies, and have cared for dogs with chronic conditions like allergies, diabetes, or arthritis. I am not afraid to clean up any messes! I own a 8-year old puppy of my own, an airedale, which if you know the breed, you know that that speaks for itself! I have seen it all with him, as the most stubborn creature on this planet. I would love to care for your pets! I am a dog person through and through! I’m a college student here in LI at Stony Brook University. I’m in my third year and have a car so transportation is of no issue. I have a lot of free time and during the weekends I am 100% available for any needs your pet might have. Please let me know the normal routine that you and your pet have! I will do everything in my power to make them feel as comfortable as possible with me. Just tell me any feeding schedules, medication needs, favorite toys, or treats and I will make sure to tailor an experience just for you and your pet.
17. Kim M.
“Kim was wonderful. She checked in before, during, and after and made sure the dogs were well loved. I felt comfortable that my dogs were in great hands and I most certainly will use her again!”
18. Katie S.
“I would highly recommend Katie as a pet sitter. Katie loves all animals. She herself is a dog owner and she is extremely attentive and caring towards her dog. She makes him special food due to his dietary needs and he is ofc up to date on all shots and check ups. She walks her dog and takes him to dog parks and to swimming spots in the summer. When she was younger, her parents owned dogs and cats. She always helped take care of them and walked the dogs frequently. Katie would be a diligent and a responsible pet sitter.”
19. Christine M.
“Christine was fabulous. She was conscientious and took great care of our cat. She is the first cat sitter we’ve booked (of 2-3 Rover sitters) who has actually come at exactly the time we asked her, consistently. Beyond that, when our travel plans had to change because of airline problems, Christine kindly agreed to extend the booking - even though it was the holidays and I’m sure she had other obligations.”
20. Sandra G.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have taken a 2 year course for animal science and got a certificate. I’ve learned how to take care of different breeds the proper and safest way. The animal science course also teaches advanced dog grooming so I also love dog grooming! I currently have a part time job and work usually short shifts since it’s just a side job so I can give the dogs attention and be able to make them happy. I have a huge backyard where I let my small dog play and I have a empty bedroom with ac and dog beds for when the animal is not outside. I will also allow the dogs to walk around my house as it is no problem to me. I have dog food and dog toys as well. Incase the dog gets dirty playing outside or any other incident I have dog shampoo and conditioner that is healthy and I learned about it from my animal science class where I also did dog grooming.
