“Christina was absolutely wonderful with our two senior dogs! She was so great at keeping us updated while we were away, and took incredible care of both dogs—even winning over our very cranky chihuahua. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Em watched Buster for a few days and we could tell he was is good hands while we were away. We appreciated the updates and pictures each day. We will definitely ask Em to watch Buster again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker for my fur babies than Rachel! She is truly amazing in every way. I wasn’t sure how house sitting worked but Rachel gave me the flexibility to choose whatever made me feel most comfortable. She knows the best questions to ask upon the initial meet and goes above and beyond in every way. Rachel’s communication was amazing the entire 12 days I was away and her daily report was one of my fav ways to end my day while I was away. Knowing something funny they did that day or seeing a video of them sleeping peacefully made me feel so much relief. I am beyond grateful for Rachel’s skillet and would strongly recommended her to anyone and everyone with pet sitting needs!”
About: Fun fact: my profile picture is of me and Panda 🐼, the first fur baby I ever took care of for a family friend when I was 12! I am someone who has always grown up around animals including dogs, cats, turtles, and birds. I’ve always had a desire to take care of them, so much that at one point I wanted to go to veterinary school. Although I decided to switch to nursing, being able to take care of the adoring pets of others is something that I’d love to keep as my hobby. I’ll make sure to love your pet the same way I loved the ones I grew up with. All in all, I get to distress from school, and they can get all the cuddles and play in the world. It’s a win win! I’ll also make sure to keep you updated with pictures and videos so you can rest assured that they’ll be in good hands :) I am currently a full-time nursing student, with all of my classes being on Tuesdays. Besides that, I am available any other day of the week :) I also speak Spanish! When caring for your pet in your home, my top priorities are safety, respect, and consistency. I treat your space with the same care and cleanliness I’d expect in mine, and I make sure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I will carefully follow your instructions, stick to your pet’s routine, and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. Whether it’s feedings, litter box cleaning, going for a walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m reliable, gentle, and always respectful of your home and your pet’s well-being. You can relax knowing they’re in trustworthy, experienced hands.
About: I am an animal lover living in Ridgewood. I grew up with cats my entire life. I also raised a basset hound named Sandor. I am kind and compassionate, willing to do overnights, drop-ins, and walks with your pets. Establishing trust with an animal and allowing them to adjust to your presence is one of the most important parts of the process. I have been caring for neighbors pets for years and walked dogs professionally in Manhattan. I’m available for walks and drop-ins during the weekdays also overnights if you’re going out of town for a week or more. I love pets. I will be able to drop in to give your fur baby some love when you’re at work or will stay overnight when you travel.
“Albert was amazing! He communicated all the time and sent cute pics of my baby. I was very worried because she was undergoing medical treatment, but he took care of her very well! I will ask him to petsit my dog again no doubt!”
“Kenine went above and beyond at the last minute for my rescue pup who is still decompressing from the shelter and learning manners. Kenine provided last minute coverage and reviewed and enforced 1000 details to help my pup feel safe and secure. She handled his needs on walks, with medication, a special diet, and his behaviors that we are working on. Grateful for Kenine’s patience, skill and support and highly recommend her services. Thank you, Kenine!”
“Asher was amazing, he was super communicative and I knew Honey was in great hands. Honey can be a tough dog sometimes, but I didn’t have any worry with Asher. Additionally, there were some issues that came up with getting into my apartment, and we worked it out together seamlessly. I would highly recommend Asher to anyone!”
“Amber did such a great job housesitting our cat Toby! He doesn’t love everyone but he warmed up to her so much I think he prefers her to me at this point! ? Amber is very reliable and wonderful with animals!”
“Meaghan was very conscientious! The apartment was spotless when I got back; all the garbage had been taken out. Just very thoughtful. She kept an eye on and made sure my fuzzy friend ate in addition to sleeping day and night. Very trustworthy. Would definitely use again!”
“Erik was great and responsive, given the short notice on my end. He was punctual and provided updates with my Evie. Would absolutely recommend and book again. Thanks!”
“I booked Avary to house sit for me while I was on a work trip for a few days. Avary was super responsive and provided detailed updates and lot of photos! I had a lot of peace of mind knowing Duncan would be in good hands while I was gone.”
“Alex was wonderful - asked good questions, accommodated specific requests and needs, pleasant to communicate with, was a respectful house sitter and most importantly, was very kind when meeting and caring for my pups, one of which who is senior and a bit high need. Thank you Alex!”
“Danny was wonderful! He stayed at our place for 3 nights and watched two of my elderly (12-13 yo) little 9 lbs dogs. He was extremely professional and responsible - prompt with replies, followed up politely when I failed to respond in a timely fashion, and left the house in very good order. I highly recommend Danny and would absolutely seek him out again.”
“Kier is the best ! He is so communicative while we were away and kept us in the loop about how our baby was doing. He took such amazing care of our cat as if she were his own. He is truly an amazing sitter!”
“Ashley came through when I needed a pet sitter last minute. I'm not always sure exactly when I'll need a sitter, so it's extremely helpful to me when those caring for my pet are flexible and can adjust to accommodate my needs. Ashley was on time and took special care of my almost 11-year-old rescue dog who has separation anxiety and some health challenges. I plan to request Ashley again as my schedule gets busy and I need someone to care for my fur baby. She is reliable and attentive and responds quickly to calls and texts.”
“Samantha was wonderful with our cat & dog. She came for a meet and greet before the trip, and sent regular updates and photos while we were away. She was a huge help, and we’ll be hiring her again!”
“Chris is the best! Hands down one of the BEST pet sitters for my babies. I am SUPER picky and don't usually book the same sitters unless I truly like them. Chris communicates very well and sees to my pets needs. Follows the itinerary very well, sends pictures, updates, and knows how to handle each one of them.”
Ridgewood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Bella was amazing with Juni! She was very communicative during the stay and attentive to Juni. She’s very knowledgeable about dogs, so it was so nice knowing juni was in great hands as I get used to leaving her. She even offered to come over early if Juni wasn’t doing well alone while I was at work!
My senior kitty and I had an amazing experience with Miller. She is punctual, detail-oriented, professional, and clearly cares deeply about both cats and the work she does. She followed all of my care instructions to a T and sent daily updates about Momo, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from her updates that Momo felt safe, comfortable, and able to maintain her normal routine. Miller also left our apartment absolutely pristine. I highly recommend her services and would gladly book again! :))
Christina is fantastic!! Our pup, Junie, doesn’t warm up to new people quickly—but she really did meeting Christina! Christina has such a calming presence that really put Junie at ease, and she was super responsive which really put us at ease while we were out of town. Thanks so much, Christina!
Mackenzie was absolutely wonderful with Ozzy! From the moment we connected, she was kind, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. She made me feel completely comfortable leaving my puppy in her care, and it’s clear how much she genuinely loves animals. Ozzy had a great time with her, and I could tell he was happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention. Mackenzie was thoughtful, patient, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond to make sure both Ozzy and I felt comfortable throughout the entire experience. I would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring pet sitter. Five stars all around!
This was my first time leaving Ruffles with someone, Mint’s puppy experience was a big plus and great reviews. I also had a wonderful experience, he’s super nice and great communication; I felt at ease. Arrived promptly and stayed an extra 10 minutes as I was running late back. I received updates and photos and really felt a-okay for the first time being away. Ruffles was in good spirits when I arrived home and slept through the night. I will be hiring again!
Briana was great. Very communicative, flexible with our last minute request, and prompt. Came home to happy pets and a clean house. She even took the cat litter waste to the outside trash for us so the house would smell nice for our return. Thanks Briana! Would def recommend.
Emily & LeeAnn were great with my crew! They sent cute update photos and were very communicative, even keeping us up to date on our yard after a big windstorm blew through. When we arrived home, everyone seemed calm and happy. Thanks you two, come back any time!
We are extremely grateful for booking with Tess! When our senior dog had stomach issues on the first day, Tess was happy to cook and feed our dog a bland meal to help him feel better. She took great care of both of our pets and was highly communicative, especially when we were worrying about our dog’s stomach issues. We highly recommend booking with Tess!
Erik is amazing! He is very attentive to our Toby and Toby adores him! We also had a last minute emergency as the charity walk we do every year was suddenly changed to a new location that does not allow dogs and we had no one to watch our puppy who has not trained to be alone yet so he came to our rescue and for that we are very, very grateful. He was great with TOBY. He walked him. He played with him and he fed him. He was very attentive. I highly recommend Erik!
Kaylee is amazing. Our 1 year old pitbull loved her from the first minute. She is truly a "dog person". Our dog Cannoli had surgery earlier in the week. Kaylee followed all our instructions with medication and sent videos. We could see our baby snuggled up with Kaylee sleeping. I will Absolutely be booking again.
