“Jennifer is just amazing! She sat for my young dog twice for two weeks at a time when I was out of the country. I had multiple daily updates with photos and details of how my dog was doing. They even went running together! So reassuring. Everyone loved Jennifer in my building who met her. Totally trust her and the apartment was left impeccable. I was so lucky to have her and scheduled travel when I was assured she was available.”

“Oleg was just fantastic! He engaged easily with my puppy and took him out for long walks several times during the day. I appreciated all the exercise my pup got. He went above and beyond in my home tending to my cats which was not part of his responsibilities. He changed the cat litter, cleaned up after them and gave them snacks.”


About: I’m dependable and reliable, attention to detail is my jam and I’m comfortable walking with small and big dogs or taking care of cats, even if it takes a while to warm up to a stranger in their home/space! even the most prickly cats eventually get won over! I’m currently working part time and my schedule is flexible! I love being able to walk and get outside or stay indoors to hang out with cats and dogs! I live with a disabled cat so making sure the apartment is safe and cat-proofed is key, and when pet sitting I make sure all escape routes are secured, feeding times and walk times are kept to schedule, and that there’s always room for play time!

“Alexis was an amazing pet sitter overnight for my dog Stewey. Right from the beginning she went above and beyond bc I had a complicated scheduling situation and she was able to manage all of it like a pro. My dog loved her right away and she has a gentleness that makes you feel totally confident that she will do a great job. She is empathetic, caring and smart. Our communication was also top notch sending updates and when she had a question. In every way it was a great experience and I will book her again in a heartbeat the next time Stewey needs a pet sitter. Thank you Alexis!”


About: My friends would say my love for animals is one of my most defining features. If you look at my social media explore pages or scroll through my camera roll, it is genuinely just an endless album of adorable dogs and cats I've encountered everywhere. Animals bring me joy that I don’t think can be replicated in another way and it always makes my day whenever I just pass by one. I love wholesomeness and with that said I sincerely care about providing the best possible care, endless affection, and a safe, happy environment for every pet I have the privilege of looking after. It brings me so much unfathomable joy to do what I love most as a hobby as a job. As a part-time student, I have a flexible schedule with a lot of free time on days I don't have classes. This gives me alot of time to schedule pet care into my routine! I like to be a patient and attentive caregiver, understanding that every pet has unique needs and preferences, whether it's during meal times or grooming. I'll actively monitor their environment to ensure their safety and well-being and will always reach out to you if I have any concerns.


“Diana was great! She came through in the clutch after we had a last minute sitter cancellation. She spent quality time with Dinho multiple times a day, called right away the one time Dinho was acting up, and was easy to coordinate with. Would definitely book her again!”


“Melissa was excellent. She sent photos of my dog having fun every day. The house was in perfect condition when I returned. Melissa is a responsible, warm person. I highly recommend her.”


About: I’ve raised / owned and trained many pets my whole life. Always been a animal lover and my friends all come to me for help with their pets. I make my own schedule, sometimes very busy sometimes very open. I am a licensed independent drone pilot and run my own business. I have my fiancée and family and pets of my own to care for as well Getting to know the pet I’m sitting is first, then just making sure the pet is walked fed and taken care of to the best of my ability is my main concern.

About: I have a strong passion for providing attentive and loving care to pets of all kinds. Having grown up around and cared for many animals, I am skilled in offering everything from daily walks and playtime to feeding, grooming, and administering medications when needed. I understand the importance of building trust and ensuring that each pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy in my care. Whether it's providing companionship, exercise, or simply a watchful eye while you're away, I am dedicated to giving your pet the best care possible and ensuring they feel loved and secure at all times. What sets me apart from other sitters is my specialized experience in caring for anxious, sick, and young animals, particularly kittens as young as two weeks old. My background in rescuing and nurturing vulnerable pets has given me a unique skill set in handling animals with specific medical needs or behavioral challenges. I am adept at creating a calm, reassuring environment that helps pets feel safe and secure. Whether it's offering a comforting presence to a nervous pet or supporting a sick animal through their recovery, I provide dedicated, individualized care that ensures your pet’s needs are met with compassion and attention. Disclaimer: I currently have 2 cats, so your pet would have to be gentle towards cats. I work remote from home, so I am home all day. I go out on some weekends for a few hours at a time, but never more than 4 hours. I have a large house and my room is detached from the rest of it, so they would have their own space if need be. I enjoy my daily walks and would love to bring a buddy along! I prioritize safety, trust, and a comforting environment when caring for pets in both my home and my client’s home. In my home, I ensure a pet-friendly space that is secure, clean, and free of hazards, with designated areas for play, rest, and meals. I track their food intake and always keep outtake in mind to catch any problems, if need be. I provide plenty of attention, love, and supervision to make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, offering consistent care and maintaining a familiar environment. I always ensure your pet’s safety by keeping their space secure, whether it's limiting access to certain areas or keeping harmful items out of reach. Open communication with pet parents is key, so I regularly update you on how your pet is doing, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Trust and respect are the foundation of my approach, ensuring that your pet feels as loved and cared for as they would at home.

My approach is flexible, consistent, and responsive to their requirements at all times. In my residence, your pet is permitted to roam freely. Your fur baby can also play and run around in my gated backyard. My home is also a smoke-free environment.

About: Growing up, I have always looked after dogs of close friends and family, and have studied nutrition and health, which led me to work at a pet hotel for about a year with almost every dog breed. My responsibilities included prepping food, cleaning, 1 on 1 play, and group play. I have been in charge of up to 20 dogs at 1 time. I also co-own a dog named Luna. The other owner and I had Luna since she was a puppy and she is now 5 years old. I teach obedience/behavior training to many dogs and I develop trust with dogs that is unique to my experience with various breeds. It takes patience and consistency to be a great leader for dogs and I wear my heart on my sleeve for every dog I'm caring for; communication with your dog is key. I currently work part time and make Dog care apart of my every day routine, if I'm not with my dog I'm working with other dogs. I have a good size open backyard and toys depending on the play style of your dog; crate training is much appreciated if they are familiar. Walks are frequent, especially for high energy dogs

About: I've taken care of dogs and animals of all kinds since I was 6 years old growing up in the farm. I was born and raised in Montenegro (in Europe). Now I am living in the city and I so very much miss being around animals. Dogs especially are truly amazing and my best friends. I ended up getting my dog Peanut in December of 2021, right after my diagnosis with stage 4 metastasis breast cancer. Peanut has been my life savior and I would do anything to make her happy and have her live the best life. Therefore my reasoning for doing Rover is to find a companion for Peanut to have a good time while I am also enjoying taking care of many other dogs 😊 I am an accountant and luckily I am working from home. My boyfriend is a Software developer and he works from home too. Your pup will be taken care of very well. My dog is a shihtzu/Havannese mix little girl born October 11th, 2021. I walk them every 2 hours and I take them for long walks to the park morning and late afternoon for longer time as needed. We have a lot of dog toys, including challenging games. I enjoy playing and cuddling with them, and they can sleep anywhere, couch or bed. They will always be under my supervision and attentive care. I have training in giving them medication, releasing them from stress, and an obedience course.

About: Since the day i was born i have had a small zoo in my home. Over the years i have had pets such as cats, dogs, birds, fish, reptiles and small animals. I absolutely love caring for my animals and it means the world to me to see them healthy and living their best lives! I currently have a 70+ lb pitbull of my own and spend alot of my free time volunteering at an Animal shelter in NJ. Most of that time is spent walking large (sometimes reactive) dogs, so large breeds and strong pullers are not a problem! I am available for drop ins and walks Monday- Friday (and certain weekends). As long as i do not already have a booking, i am usually available too help my fellow animal lovers with their pet care needs! I never leave animals unattended outside ( including fenced in yards). I also assure that all food and treats being offered are approved by the pet parents which i am working with. I also am very careful about keeping dangerous/toxic household items and plants far out of reach of any animals!

About: Hi, my name is Vivian and I would love to get a chance to know your pet! I absolutely love animals and dogs have a special place in my heart. I have a lot of experience in dog walking and basic pet care, as I have a dog myself. I also have experience caring for cats and have one myself as well. I can be relied on to walk, feed, and bathe your pets as needed and if your pet is on a schedule I will make sure it is followed. I would love to get to know you and your furried friend better and give your pet the care it deserves. Looking forward to meeting and getting to know both you and your pet! I am a recent college graduate student and am available to work any day of the week, especially for the summer. I would love to spend time with and to care for your furry friends! I typically walk my own dog as a part of my daily routine and I would be glad to make helping you out as another part of my daily routine. In my own home, my dog is pretty well-trained. He knows not “go” in the house, listens to basic commands, and gets along with people and other dogs well. Therefore we do not have restrictions for him in the house. However, if your dog is not allowed to go into certain areas of the house or onto certain furniture or requires to be put in their cage, I have no problem keeping them out of restricted areas and putting them in their cages before leaving if requested.

“Beth was truly amazing!!! Me and my now husband got married last weekend and we were stressing about our fur babies since everyone who would watch him were going to be away with us. I reached out to Beth and from the minute we started speaking I knew they would be in good hands. My cat is friendly and easy to take care of but my dog Capone is a large scared anxious boy. He gets depressed when we aren’t around. Beth sent me pictures and updates the whole weekend. She was patient with him and made him feel comfortable. He definitely warmed up to her and now has a new friend. When we got back and she came by he was so excited to see her! I can’t thank her enough and will definitely be using her again to watch my fur babies!”

I recommend Maria to anyone looking for a pet sitter or dog walker. I came home and my pup couldn’t have been more happy! I’m starting to think she misses Maria!”

Other than her love for animals, she is very courteous and respectful. I can imagine her picking up any messes left behind and doing her best to be respectful to others while doing this job. I have no doubt that you will be satisfied if Sarah is your pet caregiver.”

Hamra is responsible because she was always on time, communicative, and attentive to every detail of their routine. I came home to two very happy, well-cared-for cats, and that peace of mind is priceless. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals, and Mila and Osla both warmed up to her quickly (which says a lot!). If you're looking for someone trustworthy and kind, Hamra is the perfect choice.”

Jasmin D.
“I loved how welcoming she was with my dog her house was very clear and her yard is well kept and she also accommodated all my concerns and made me feel comfortable ensuring me that my dog would be safe and well taken care of she has a nice chemistry to her that makes her very approachable and I could reach out to her anytime to ask about my dog and I didn’t feel like I was bothering her and that to me was a plus I finally found her forever babysitter or nanny as you wish for my fur baby thank you so much Jasmine I’m going to keep coming back 🥰🥰 I appreciate everything you did for my baby”


Nicholas T.
“Nicholas has had a deep concern for and connection with dogs for as long as I can remember. I have seen him interact with dogs in a variety of circumstances for the past 14 years. The earliest memory I have of him interacting with dogs was when he walked, watched, fed, and played with my cousin’s Boxer dogs when we were kids. He was very patient, caring, passionate, and responsible with those dogs as a young boy. Over the years, he cared for his friends' dogs as well by walking and watching them. Over time, as he became an adult, he became even more patient, caring, passionate, and responsible with dogs as he bought a Pug with his girlfriend and became a dogsitter at PetSmart. At PetSmart, Nick would always introduce himself to each dog individually and ensure each dog’s safety was met when in the company of other dogs. Despite the dogs’ different personalities and needs, Nick would show the same love and responsibility to each of them. Not only was Nick yearning to give the best lives for his own dog and dogs under his care at work, but he would always and is still always making an effort to greet and show admiration and concern for dogs, who are on walks with their owners on the streets. If I had to recommend a dog caregiver to anyone, I would feel confident in recommending Nicholas to meet any dog owner's expectations. I trust him to practice exceptional love and responsibility for dogs of any sex or breed who are in his care.”


Florina D.
“Florina is responsible, loving and caring. She raised her own dog from 8 weeks old so she has plenty of experience with raising and disciplining dogs. I see her often at the dog park, treating other dogs as her own and getting along with their owners too. I'm confident in her ability to dog sit and serve the customers in the best way possible”

Vivian L.
“Vivian has watched my dog multiple times, and my dog always returns playful and happy. I have a Maltese mix puppy who is full of energy and can be a handful at times. Since my dog is a puppy I try to have him on a routine schedule and Vivian was very flexible and accommodating to that. She made sure he was walked to go to the bathroom, fed at the proper time, and of course loved!! She is a very reliable, responsible and friendly person who your dog will love. I know my dog is in good hands because now once he sees her or I say “Vivian is coming” he immediately wags his tail and gets excited. Definitely a great choice to watch your pet.”

“I cannot say enough great things about Ashley! From the very first meeting, it was clear that Ashley truly loves and understands dogs. My pup, who is usually shy around new people, warmed up to her immediately — a huge sign of trust. Ashley sent regular updates, including photos to show how the day was going. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was not only safe, but genuinely happy and cared for. Walks were consistent, feeding was right on schedule. Ashley was a wonderful sitter who I will certainly use again!”

Richmondtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
We were so grateful for Tuba’s services. She made herself available to come meet our boy Freddie on short notice, which was so helpful. She was dependable, very communicative throughout our time away and went above to make sure all of Freddie’s needs were met. Also, Freddie gets scared with thunder and fireworks, so she sometimes came back to him having made a mess of his puppy pads and she never complained but did anything she could to make sure his area was cleaned up and he was comfortable again. We felt very secure with her and would not hesitate to use her services again!
