“My 15 year old diabetic cat recently entered DKA and underwent very intense and very costly treatment that required serious recovery and supervision. I took off a few weeks of work but due to the added costs I needed to return back to work in order to continue caring for her and treatments. I was of course naturally worried leaving her after having survived such a serious illness and Katie stepped in a really helped put all that anxiety and worry at ease for me. I truly feel like she made all my worries go away upon returning to works All her visits were well documented (she sent me lots of pictures and videos of play time sessions, medicines given, the food and water put out, and she always stayed for longer than booked for and I never came home to a mess. It was evident to me that she was treating my babies like they were her own. From phone calls to texts to in App updates Katie is truly a delight to work with and I can’t recommend her services enough to anyone looking for their pets to receive the same level of love and care that mine got from Katie. I work long hours in film and my old lady will need continued care so definitely plan to keep booking her as much as possible. For those who view their pets as children; Katie’s the one for you.”

“Amber is a great sitter! Feel very comforted leaving my cat in her care. She’s very responsive to messages, is accommodating to my older cat’s extra needs, and won my lil guy over fast Will definitely be booking again!”

“Great pet sitter all around. Regina took care of my dog pickles while I was gone for a week, fed him and even took him out in walks when doing a drop in visit. This was her first time with my dog and he lover Regina from day one. I highly recommend her and will definitely hire her again.”


About: I’ve been a part-time dog sitter since I was 15 and have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities! I’ve been the proud dog aunt of an elderly & fiesty chihuahua for several years now and am skilled in all facets of care, from walks to medication administration :) I currently am taking time off from work and have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to respond to last minute care requests. Just reach out with your time and I will respond as soon as I can. I am very flexible and am able to care in a client’s home as long as there are no safety threats. I currently cannot offer my home for dog sitting due to my roomate’s dog.
“Kate was communicative leading up to her drop-ins, and left great check-in cards with plenty of picture. She was even kind enough to take out the trash! Would definitely re-book.”

About: My family had a black lab growing up. Ever since, allergies in the household have stopped me from having my own pets, but not from caring for others- including for multiple pets on long overnight trips away. I’m currently self-employed, so my schedule fits around yours! As a videographer, I sometimes have in-person shoots, but my editing time is very flexible. I’m experienced with a variety of safety features, including pet gates, crates, leashes, and more. I am also experienced with home alarms and camera systems. I have also cared for a cat that was allowed to roam freely in the neighborhood during the day with a GPS.

“Eleni was WONDERFUL with my 2 cats!!! I will definitely be hiring her again!!! Mochi has diabetes and requires an insulin injection every 12 hours in addition to another medication twice a week and Eleni was happy to learn and able to give Mochi his meds which can be a bit daunting and sometimes difficult depending on his mood. but Eleni was attentive and really took the time to learn and care for him properly! my other cat Kumo is a scaredy baby and rarely shows his face around people but Eleni was patient and really put effort into getting him comfortable with her. Eleni updated me with great details about how they’re doing and food. the weather was changing every day from being very cold and then very hot and Eleni proactively adjusted the thermostat accordingly when needed! she would turn on cat TV every couple days AND put treats in their treat games daily so they would stay occupied during the day. Mochi had an accident and Eleni didn't hesitate to clean it up and take out the trash. she really took care of everything!”

“Omolayo took amazing care of our two cats while we were on vacation. She was consistent, dependable and extremely responsive. She gave me the peace of mind I needed. I knew my cats were in great hands with her. I highly recommend her as a sitter! I will be contacting her again the next time I am out of town. Thank you so much!”

About: I really think I have quite a bit of experience with pets. As I was growing up, I had several at the same time and I took care of them all at once and with a lot of love. I had a rabbit, two cats, and a dog. I'm currently available every day, and regarding the schedule, I think we can discuss that between ourselves and decide. I would love to work for you, and I'm eager to meet your lovely pet. I live in a decent apartment, not too big but cozy, and my biggest advantage is that I live across from a park and close to a pet shop.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a teen, sometimes multiple at once! I don’t mind a bit of chaos or exercising more patience for furry friends. In addition to dog sitting and dog walking, I also volunteered at a dog shelter in Newport, NH for several months, walking, feeding, and cleaning up after dogs looking for their forever homes. Additionally, if you have plants that need care, I have professional experience with at-home plant care and can tend to most house plants free of charge! I currently work full time, but eager to fill my weekends by taking care of your best friend. I work from home Monday- Friday, so available to stay with dogs/pets full time during those days. I would be happy to abide by whatever rules or practices you have fo your pet in your home. I understand everyone cares for their pets differently and I am eager to follow whatever protocols you have to make sure your pet feels safe and the comfort of routine as much as possible while you’re away.
“My cats absolutely loved Adeline! She provided amazing care and took the time to make sure they felt loved and cared for. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Would 100000% recommend!”

“This was my first time using Rover, and can genuinely say Arli made it a great experience. She’s super communicative, kind, respectful and now my cat’s new bff! Arli showed up promptly for all visits, gave my cat lots of attention and would send me pictures everyday while I was away. Could not have asked for a better experience. HIGHLY recommend :)”

About: Hi, my name is Erik! I have worked for local businesses (As well as Wag so I have a bit of app experience too) walking, training, boarding, and sitting dogs for a little over 7 years now. I love animals, being outside, and meeting new pups. Located in Bushwick, I'm a quick bike ride away from Williamsburg, Bed Stuy, Ridgewood, etc. I have no problem taking the train to further neighborhoods as well. I've lived in New York for a 11 years now so navigating around the city is no issue. I was raised in a animal loving house and couldn't be happier working with the them. I'm a jack of all trades and a big worker. I love the freedom of setting my own schedule and being outside getting my steps in. I get down to their level and let them inspect/smell me. I tend to pass the sniff test. I don't mind taking the time to wait until the pup is comfortable before going on our walk.
“Thank you Ambur!!! When we came back home Minifeli was happy and relaxed. It looks like he had a great time with her! After he hides every time someone comes to our house, seeing him come out to welcome Ambur every day in the pictures, only shows me that she won his trust. Big thank you Ambur!!”

“Alexander is literally one of the best sitter we had for Lisbon. Lisbon was sick while Alexander was around but he made sure to stay around until Lisbon was well. i will 100% recommend him.”

Ridgewood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Xiaoying took great care of our cat during a week of drop-in visits. She gave us peace of mind by sending LOTS of photos after every visit. She consistently fed our cat, refreshed the water, cleaned the food and water dishes, and spent time playing with her. We came home to a happy cat and would definitely book Xiaoying again!
