“Emily was absolutely wonderful! My 11 year old cat was snuggling with her when she visited. Emily took great care of my baby and sent me photos and videos of her when I was traveling. I highly recommend Emily and will definitely reach out to her next time we go away!”


“Vicki took great care of our disabled cat for the past two days. He is somewhat difficult to take care of but Vicki was patient and did everything to make him happy and comfortable. Vicki was also very accommodating and flexible with a last minute booking we had to make due to family emergency. Really appreciate Vicki and will continue booking her services for my cat!”



“Robin was an absolute fantastic sitter for my dog Dora, & cat Arlo. She was prompt, communicative & I could tell my furry children really enjoyed having her company while I was away overnight. Thank you Robin!”


“Melissa was great! She arrived at the same time all week to help keep the routine for my cat. Sent pictures and updates and always responded to any messages or inquiries! Great experience and helped knowing my kitty was in good hands.”


“Alexandra was great to our two fur babies. She came to meet them in advance and they already seemed to like her. She was able to give one of our cats his medications each time she came, she played with them, and she gave them lots of love. She was also very prompt in her communication and provided lots of pictures each time.”


“We had a lovely meet and greet with Barbara. She was great with Dot while we were away as we could tell from her messages and pictures - and that Dot was a happy little critter when we got home. It's nice to leave Dot with someone we know will take good care of her.”


“Allie is so great to work with. Always on time, thoughtful updates, does whatever’s needed to take care of my cat, and is great about communicating and asking questions as needed. On top of that, my cat, who isn’t comfortable with many people other than me, is super comfortable around her. Really thankful for her help, and for making everything so easy!”


“Alina was great and very easy to work with. She did a couple of drop in visits for my dogs and I felt completely at ease because she was reliable and responsive. Sent update and pics. Highly recommended!”


“Sebastian is trustworthy, communicative, and loving to animals in my home. I’ve already had them come and sit for my cat three times and will be returning anytime I need someone! They are wonderful and you won’t regret working with them!”


About: I've had dogs of all ages all my life and think they are the 👌 👍 😍 🥰. I've boarded very senor dogs as well as young furry critters I'm a retired teacher so that I'm able to be free much of the time. I'm also a working artist and my studio is in my home. I have a bright house with a good sized fenced-in back yard. My home is near parks and conveniently located. The neighborhood is super-quiet with doggy friendly folk.

About: I’ve had dogs as pets my entire life. I’ve dog-sat for family and friends. I trained my current dog as a puppy, and have given many dirty pups baths! I have pretty open availability throughout the week. I live in a nice neighborhood where I can easily walk dogs, and also live not too far from the dog park! I take care of my dog, feeding, walking, bathing etc. I have a small fenced in area in my backyard perfect for small to medium sized dogs and I do have a small crate if necessary.

“Olivia was really wonderful! My cat seemed to take to her immediately. She gave me updates with pictures and when I got home my cat seemed peaceful like she had been well taken care of.”



About: I didn’t get to experience the joy of growing up with dogs or cats but as soon as I was able I began taking in fosters from the NYC shelter system. It was quite a learning experience spending time with many dogs (and a few cats) of all different types and personalities. I no longer foster but I bring the experience and dedication from working with so many shelter pets to caring for your furry family members. And as a pet parent now myself I have been through many sitters so I understand what makes a good one! A note on boarding and meet and greets: I’m happy to have boarding candidates come by to meet me and check out the space but I do not do meet and greets with my own dogs. My dogs are dog friendly but they are too chaotic and excitable to meet new dogs and owners right away. New dogs are kept separate at first and introduced at their own pace when everyone is calm. This minimizes stress for everyone and allows for better interactions. I currently work out of the house Monday/Wednesday/Friday but my schedule is somewhat flexible. The rest of the week I work at home and I am often available all weekend. Dogs in my home have access to a securely fenced large yard for running and fetch, as well as a quiet neighborhood for walks. If the weather is warm dogs have access to a dog door so they may go outside as they please. If your dog likes to play with other dogs mine will certainly be happy to accommodate but they can also have separate spaces if quiet time is needed. In your home I will make every effort to keep your pets schedule as familiar as possible while offering lots of love and stimulation. As someone who has had many sitters come through and stay at my house I understand the importance of trust and cleanliness so you can be away without worry.

About: I specialize in attentive, stress-free cat care, with a deep understanding of feline behavior and needs. I’ve also cared for dogs and know how to ensure they feel safe, seen, and comfortable. My calm presence and attention to detail set me apart when it comes to compassionate, reliable pet care. My schedule allows for catering to all of a pet's needs: feeding, grooming, walking, playing and enrichment, medication administration, etc. I can also do multiple drop-ins per day/extended drop-ins for pets that need company throughout the day. I live in an apartment complex, so I would not be able to host your pet in my home, but I have reliable transport at and would love to come to you!

“So happy Nicole is on rover! It was so nice to meet her and I appreciated her care, communication, and amazing photos! I knew my boys were safe and looked after and I think they had some pretty fun playtime when Nicole was visiting”


About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life. I’ve helped walk, play, bathe and feed relatives/friends pets as well. I’ve also have done hands on interactive training with my dogs. I’m a recent college graduate looking for activities that I can make money and enjoy doing! I work nights at a restaurant so I am free during daytime. 🌞 I am very calm and know how to read pets. I’m willing to read the situation and take your word on how to best care for your pet family.

Veronica B.
“To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to highly recommend Veronica Blatter as a responsible and dependable dog walker. I have had the pleasure of knowing Veronica Blatter for 23 years and have trusted her with the care of my dog on numerous occasions. She is punctual, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. Every time she has walked my dog, Mocha, I received updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing my pet was in caring loving hands. I have no hesitation in recommending Veronica Blatter to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me bokonon350@yahoo.com or 845-443-6231. Sincerely, Shawn Blatter”
