House Sitting in Springfield Gardens, Queens, NY

“Atxiri was fantastic! She was very attentive to my cat Phoenix. He usually hides for most people but she made him feel comfortable enough to be near her from room to room and even to come out and play! She sent lots of great pics, was punctual and communicative throughout. Also, my place was cleaner than I left it as I came back. I will definitely book her again. 😄”

“I was incredibly hesitant to leave my dog behind for a long weekend, Mandel sensed that, and helped me by being attentive during our conversation, patient and helpful when I was having anxiety about leaving, and sending pictures after I left that provided me a sigh of relief. Mandel took amazing care of my dog and home. He communicated often throughout the engagement, insured medicine was given, walks were taken, and met with me beforehand to walk me through all the need-to-know practices and processes that I would've forgot to mention and ensured a seamless experience. My dog definitely misses Mandel and we're both grateful for his help. We'll be rovering with Mandel from now on!”

“Nianna’s first time sitting was a huge success! We returned home to a very relaxed and happy pup as well as a clean and organized home. Nianna spoiled our dog and was incredibly respectful of our home. She also communicated clearly and consistently. I was nervous to leave Ruby especially as we have not had consistent care for Ruby in a couple years and Nianna alleviated all my concerns and it’s clear Ruby has a new best friend. We will be working with Nianna ongoing and feel very fortunate to have connected with her.”

“Chase loves Imani! Her calm and friendly demeanor were an A+ and just what my dog enjoys. Imani was great with his high energy and sent me lots of pics and updates. I will definitely book her again.”

“Nateesha was a fantastic dog sitter. She was my first dog sitter overall, and a great first experience booking her through the Rover app. On June 28, I woke up with immense anxiety about returning to work after my baby Londyn had spay surgery on June 26, and my friend in town was leaving. Meaning I had no one to look after my little girl. After reviewing her profile, I sent my request to Nateesha and received a prompt response with clear communication. Nateesha was on board within 30 minutes or less. She was extremely respectful of my home, followed the requested walk schedule, and even administered pain meds the second day. I also need to remember the continuous updates and photos I asked for. Nateesha helped me put my little girl in her surgery guard onesie before her departure. I 10/10 recommend her to care after your babies and look forward to booking her again. She's a 5-star sitter.”

“Emily was so kind when she came to meet my pup who has a ton of issues. He warmed up to her in seconds and clearly loved her. We talked a lot about the other dogs she’s worked with who also had issues and she really put my mind at ease. Looking forward to working with her again!”

“Kimberly was excellent with my boy Simba. She was professional and kept her word with sending me plenty of updates/pictures!! He got extra long walks and time on the beach. Lol My night two, he was curled up with Kimberly on the couch, so she did well with winning him over. Highly recommend!! And plan on utilizing her services again.”

“Elsie was fantastic and took care of everything we needed to make sure Wheezie was well cared for while we were away. We're looking forward to having Elsie back in the future to watch Wheezie!”

“Perla is an awesome sitter. Very mature, responsible and reliable. Good communicator who does what is expected and goes above and beyond. Very caring person who bonded well with Beau. Would love for her to sit Beau again.”

“Kayla is one of the best dog walker we have, our dog is always excited and wiggling his tails as she approaches the door. She prepares him a healthy treat and that is lovely. We will always book her if she available and I highly recommend her to be your fur walker and also she communicate well with us.”

“It is clear that Sonya is an animal lover. She is loving and thoughtful. She is experienced with pets and will definitely take good care of your puppy! Plus, she's just a nice person.”

About: I've taken care of all of my family's dogs since I was 12 years old. I have watched dogs of all different sizes and temperaments. I'm currently working part time at a grocery store; I will be more than available to abide by all your pet's needs. We will have a great experience! I will watch and feed your pets. I will ensure that they have ample exercise by walking them. I will bring some toys and spend time entertaining them as well.

“rhadeka is everything you would want in a caregiver. she is: loyal, friendly, gracious, and smart. i trust rhadeka with my life. i wouldn't think twice about leaving my pet in her hands, she is one of the best people i know.”

“Satina is absolutely wonderful. She saved us super last minute when our original Rover sitter canceled our reservation without an explanation 2 days before we were headed out of town. Satina is super responsive and makes you feel reassured that everything is taken care of while you are away. We really enjoyed working with her and she is incredibly sweet and trust worthy. We have a very friendly pup and another pup who gets a little anxious. She quickly won our anxious pup over and they became the best of friends while we were away. We will definitely continue booking Satina for future trips.”

“Saffiyah was our first dog sitter from Rover and we could not have been happier! She was amazing with our Tiffany, who has never had a dog sitter so we did a meet and greet the day before and Saffiyah just fit right in. She brought her sweet dog as a companion for Tiffany and made us all feel very comfortable. She sat for Tiffany for 8 hours the next day and Tiffany was happy which made us happy as well :). Saffiyah was very reliable and stayed in contact with us the entire time she sat for Tiffany. She’s simple the best!”

“Leanne is a natural animal person. Animals are typically drawn to her very easily. Having had many pets herself, Leanne is well experienced in pet caregiving. The relationships between Leanne and pets are all very gentle and patient. Leanne has dog-sat for my parents and they have loved her ever since. Any animal is lucky to have Leanne as a friend!”

“Rhonda is a great caretaker when it comes to caring for dogs. I have used her twice in the past and I have no complaints at all. I would definitely use her again.”

“Emma was very well organized. I strongly recommend her. Without asking her, she took care of the cat as well. She is great.”

About: Ever since I was gifted the sweetest puppy in 2016, I have been obsessed with anything pet related. Accessories, health, food, grooming etc. I love researching new things about dogs and cats and sharing my knowledge with other pet parents. I am looking forward to learning from each other. I am available Sun - wed with advanced notice for in home sitting. I have learned that keeping pets in the home they are familiar with, helps with anxiety and pets feel safer. As a dog mom as well, it is important to openly communicate with other pet owners. Asking questions and being openminded is the best way to ensure good communication and a happy and safe pet.

“I highly recommend Shemike's pet sitting and dog walking service. My 3 cats received all the care and attention they needed. Very safe and reliable.”
