“Karina took really great care of my cat during drop in visits, making sure he had water, brushed him, and even gave him hairball med (not easy). She was so good with making sure to play with him as he does get anxious without company for long periods of time. Karina even makes sure to clean his eyes and they get gunky. Her notes were great and she always took lots of photos. I was super reassured she was caring for him and found him very relaxed when I came back.”
“Caroline did a lovely job taking care of my cat, kept me updated with her visits and was responsive to any questions/requests I had during my trip. I felt sure my cat was safe + happy the whole time. Thank you Caroline!!”
“Lucy is very communicative, respective, and always does a great job taking care of the kitties! She is also detailed oriented and make sure everything is taken care of before finishing the visit.”
“I have asked Michelle to pet sit my kitty, Nugget, on multiple occasions and she will continue to be the first person I reach out to. Michelle is very communicative, always making sure i am receiving pictures of my sweet girl. I know that when Michelle watches her, that she will be fed, have a clean litter box and will receive all the love. I think the biggest indicator that Michelle is great with my cat, is that Nugget absolutely loves her. It’s so wonderful having a pet sitter that I can trust. Thank you Michelle!”
“Suzanne was great! I really felt I could trust her caring for my cats. She was great at communicating and even did me a solid and came a little earlier than scheduled one day when the automatic feeder didn’t go off! Appreciate her!”
“Jenifer was amazing! Jack was entertained, fed, and well-loved. Jenifer even met me before our scheduled visits to learn how to access the apartment. Communication was great throughout: Jenifer asked thoughtful questions about caring for Jack before we met and sent pictures and updates. It was a pleasure having her children visit Jack as well (Jenifer asked for permission first). I got some hilarious photos of Jack from their visit :). I feel very comfortable recommending Jenifer as a cat-sitter and would not hesitate to rebook in the future.”
“Melissa did a wonderful job taking care of my sweet girl! She was super communicative and went above and beyond. I had peace of mind that my cat was in good hands while I was away. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Yijing was exactly what we wanted when we were looking for someone to watch our 3 cats (1 senior 15y/o and 2 Cats under 18mo). She was attentive and would provide well documented updates and photos. She went out of her way to troubleshoot an issue with our LitterRobot. Once they realized it wasn't running and when she couldn't get a hold of me, they took initiative and researched the problem and resolved it on their own. My middle cat, Sooty who is afraid of everything under the sun warmed up to Yijing after a few visits and even on the 2nd booking a few months later, came out once he realized who they were which is huge progress. Thank you for the great care and we look forward to booking you in the future!”
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I know every pup has their own personality – whether they're a playful ball of energy or a cozy couch companion. I'll care for your dog like they're my own, with all the belly rubs, fun walks, and patient attention they deserve. Having my own dog has taught me the little things that matter most – sticking to their routine, knowing their favorite scratch spots, and understanding when they need extra comfort. You'll get regular updates with photos so you can see how much fun we're having while you're away! My schedule is very flexible! Since I work from home Monday and Friday, I'm available throughout the day for walks and playtime. Weekends are completely open for pet care too. Your dog would get: • Morning, afternoon, and evening potty breaks/walks • Lunchtime play sessions (perfect for breaking up my workday!) • Plenty of attention between my meetings • Weekend adventures at the park I can easily adjust to your dog's normal routine - just let me know their preferred schedule!" I provide loving, active care for your dog every day! I'll take them on regular walks (we have a great park right next to my townhouse - my own dog goes there daily for playtime and adventures), give them plenty of play sessions, gentle brushing, and even teeth brushing if needed. Your pup will get loads of attention and affection - While I live in a townhouse, we have safe indoor space and immediate access to outdoor fun. My own dog is happy, well-exercised and socialized, and yours will be too!
“Alessandra looked after our two cats over a long weekend. I found her to be very communicative over rover and kept me upto date on their feeding schedule, packages and gave a lot of playtime to both of them. I found the house and litter to be very clean, and coordinating key exchange and drop off was a breeze. Thank you for taking care of Frodo and Sybil. They look forward to your next visit.”
About: I have worked with countless animals throughout my entire life and I grew up always having dogs. I have a passion for animals and I treat them all like my own! I am currently a college student looking to fill my extra time with rover. I am completely free on weekends and flexible most week day afternoons I will always follow instructions from my client very closely. My main goal is to keep your animals happy and safe but to also form a relationship with them and you! I would never do anything to jeopardize my relationship with an animal or a client.
“Channing did a great job taking care of my two cats. I was gone for a week and she was very flexible with checking in on my cats twice a day. She gave updates and sent pictures for every check in. My cats were taken well care of and I would definitely rebook with her.”
About: Hi! I’m Davi C., a lifelong dog lover with a background in brand communication and a heart for thoughtful, reliable care. After years working in a high-paced corporate setting, I chose to slow down and spend my days doing something more meaningful — building bonds with dogs, and supporting the families who love them. 🐾 Why do clients choose me? • Over 15 years of hands-on dog care • Calm, mature, and highly responsible • Fluent in English & Mandarin — I work with many multicultural families • Based steps from Central Park — your pup’s walk begins in nature • Clear, consistent communication with photo updates every time Every dog I meet is different — some are confident explorers, some are shy observers, and some just want a peaceful stroll with someone who “gets them.” My job is to tune in, adjust, and make each walk feel safe, fun, and stress-free. These days, I’m also exploring new projects in the animal wellness space — learning from every wag, every sniff, and every moment of quiet companionship. If you’re looking for someone mature, reliable, and genuinely invested in your dog’s well-being, let’s schedule a meet-and-greet. I’d love to get to know your pup — and be part of their happy routine. I live just steps from Central Park and walk daily rain or shine — now with room in my schedule to bring a few lucky pups along. I’m generally available on weekdays (especially mornings and early afternoons while my child is at school) and weekends. Each walk is more than just exercise — it’s a calm, enriching break tailored to your dog’s pace and personality. I walk dogs one-on-one or in small, compatible groups to ensure safety and reduce stress. I use secure, double-clip leashes and always pay attention to your dog’s body language, energy level, and preferred pace. My calm, confident presence helps dogs feel relaxed — whether they’re active explorers or shy observers. For cat households, I offer gentle, respectful care during drop-in visits upon request. I understand that cats thrive on routine and quiet space. Whether they prefer playtime or peaceful observation from afar, I go at their pace — never forcing interaction, always making them feel safe. You’ll always receive photo updates and thoughtful notes after each visit, because I care for your pets as if they were my own.
“Can’t thank Gabriela enough for staying with my cat Luci for the weekend. This is the first time I ever had to be away from my cat Luci for more than a few hours. I had to make a last minute plan, and reached out to cat sitters around my area via Rover. Gabriela was quick to reach out and scheduled a meet and greet. She understood the feeding instructions and other details about my cat’s routine and assured me of proper care. Throughout the duration of my trip, Gabriela was very responsive and provided me with constant updates and pictures of Luci. When o reached home, Gabriela had left the house tidy and clean, but the best part was that my cat was content and I felt like I never left the house. Would highly recommend Gabriela for her great communication and pet care.”
“As always, we had an amazing trip knowing that Carissa was taking care of our cat, Emmy. We loved getting all the detailed updates and photos showing Emmy playing and in good health. We hate having to leave Emmy behind when we go on trips, but are so thankful for the level of care, responsibility, and thoughtfulness that Carrisa provides every time we use her services.”
“Emily was just as amazing this time as the first time she took care of my cat. The last day my cat was a little sick and puked up a bit of her food and Emily was nice enough to clean up after her. She is a super sweet person and gave me the confidence to travel internationally without worrying about my cat”
About: I have grown up with at least two dogs in my home as a child and other pets such as cats, birds, chicken, cows. I am very patient with pets and familiar with clicker training. Last 10 years I have had 2 dogs, fish, 3 birds and 1 cat as pets =) I have a hybrid job during the week and fully free on weekends. Flexible to meet your needs related to caring for your pet! Feel free to ask about any time period and I can work with you to adjust my schedule to ensure your pet gets the best care. I can care for pets only at clients home as my current place does not allow pets to stay overnight. Comfortable with home care/pet sitting (dog, cat, bird, fish etc.).
“Loryne was AMAZING!! We had a last minute booking and not only was she super timely in responding, she was actually quite perfect for the job. She looked in on our two cats, one of whom has a medical condition and requires daily medications. Not only did Loryne take care of the ‘basics’, and manage the medication challenge, she added a lot of extra love and special care here. The cats were so happy and peaceful when we arrived home…it was obvious they enjoyed playing and hanging with Loryne! I don’t think they missed us a bit! :-) We felt entirely at peace too while away… Loryne’s Visit Summaries of what went on at the house and her photos of the cats being goofy really helped us know all was well. I highly recommend booking with Loryne… your babies will be in great hands!”
About: I have a 4 year old miniature pinscher named Ponzu. He is hyper and playful and loves to play tug of war. I love caring for pets and know that each one has a unique personality. I’ve had experiences taking care of friends and family’s beloved furry friends, including cats, and making sure they feel comfortable and at home. I have a hybrid work schedule so I’m able to drop in or take your pet on walks during the weekdays and the evenings when I’m at home. Your pets will get plenty of playtime and exercise with me. I will make sure to let them out for potty breaks and provide food and snacks if needed. Please let me know if you have any specific care instructions so I’m aware of your pets needs.
About: i have taken care of quite a dogs and cats and even have a cat of my own ; my little orange boy :) :) i work from home, so i am doing this to get more exercise and make friends for my cat lol so send me your cute pets i like watching them and run around in the house, and just helping my cat make friends so he is not just sleeping all day

Yingying W.
“If you're looking for someone who just ‘gets’ dogs, Sophia is it. She's insanely patient and picks up on all the tiny signals dogs give off—stuff I wouldn’t even notice. My pup feels so safe and understood around her. You can tell she’s spent years learning how to really 'listen' to dogs, not just train them. I’ve learned so much from watching how she interacts with mine. Total dog whisperer energy.”

Saoirse M.
“Saoirse is the most caring person in the world. She not only is good at taking care of people, but she goes out of her way to help anyone she can. She loves dogs and she says that all dogs love her and I believe her. She stops to pet any dog she sees when she is walking. Saoirse is the best!”

Davi C.
“I’ve seen my sister care for animals since we were little — we grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, fish, and even a parrot that literally flew to her one day and never left. She’s always had a calm, warm energy that animals gravitate toward. She’s helped our relatives look after their dogs, and she never misses a chance to greet or play with pups at the park. I’m not surprised she’s doing this — it’s really what she loves.”

Don G.
“I have known Don for over six years. I have found him to be thoughtful and kind. Although, we do not have a pet, I have seen him interact with our son's dog and his own dog with gentleness and affection. My husband and I are elderly, and Don voluntarily picked up and brought groceries to us for the first year of the pandemic. As I say, thoughtful and kind, and I would add dependable as well. I can recommend Don if you are looking for a reliable and friendly caregiver for your pet.”
