1. Carlos R.
“Carlos has a deep love for animals in general. I have witnessed how caring and responsible he is with his own pets and it’s admirable. He makes sure his dog has his best life! Making sure he has a healthy diet, going to the park with him twice a day everyday, educating him and training him with kindness and positive reinforcement, ensuring his security at all times, bringing him everywhere he goes! A real dog dad! He has rescued dogs who were lost before, caring for them as if they were his own until their owner would show up. I have no doubt he will be an excellent caregiver to any pet he is responsible for!”

6. Sabrina C.
About: My love for animals. I have aspirations to be a Vet Technician. I have years of knowledge for proper pet handling. I have walked the smallest of Chihuahuas to the biggest Rottweilers and Pitties. I base my job around animal care. And I can work with flexible scheduling. My job is next to most trains which can take me to any area in the uper NYC region. I care for pets in their own home with rules by the pet parent. And within their own safe environment. Animals feel comfortable un their spaces but I do ask to have a walk together first before entering their space to ensure a smooth transition.


7. Rachel M.

“Rachel was the best. She was on time and communicated with us the entire time. We felt very comfortable leaving our brand new puppy with her. Will definitely book her again when we need her!”

“So kind and attentive to my dog! Sent me updates and photos of how he was doing which put me at ease. Thank you so much and I hope to have you take care of Milo again! 🤎”


9. Julia F.
“Julia is one of the most responsible and caring persons a dog could ever know! She really gets dogs. Like, really gets them. She might take yours. She loves them so much. She's also good at walking and has a solid pair of sneakers she got at one of those shoe stores, I think Payless. She has her own leash, but you'll have to provide the dogs leash. Definitely hire Julia! She's hot stuff (seriously, very) and you'll majorly regret it if you pass on this opportunity. Thanks for taking the time to read!”

“Katie was so thorough, she came by for a home visit before dog sitting Pepper for the first time and walked with us around the neighborhood to get Pepper familiarized with her. Very happy to have found a trustworthy dog sitter so close by.”


11. Jazz W.
“Jazz is awesome! She has taken great care of my Akita/Chow-Chow mix, Cuzco, who is not the easiest dog to walk, but she handles it like a pro.”


12. Max F.

“It takes a lot for me to trust someone with my dogs, but I’m happy to say I found someone I can rely on. Max was awesome and my dogs immediately loved him. He was very responsive and timely. One of my dogs needed medicine and Max followed all the care instructions to ensure he gets his proper medicine. Will definitely use him in the future. And appreciate Max for putting my mind at ease while I was away. 10/10 recommend!”


13. Emma S.

14. Asher B.

“Asher was great with Max and very thorough. I was able to answer any additional questions he needed about his medicine and I just really appreciate the care that he gave to my senior doggy. I worry about Max when I’m not able to be there and it was really important to me that he was cared for while I was out of town thank you again and I would absolutely book Asher again to take care of little Maxy.”


15. Eva Y.

“Eva is great! This was my first time booking a sitter on Rover, and I felt confident that my cat Mochi was in good hands. She sent lots of photos and Mochi looked like she was having a blast playing. I'd definitely reach out to Eva for petsitting needs going forward”

I admire her love for dogs and trust her 100 % for my dog’s care.”
