“Alexandra did a wonderful job dropping in on our cat for an extended weekend. We booked with short notice and Alexandra was able to accommodate. The communication was great throughout with updates and pictures. We will definitely be booking Alexandra for future pet sitting needs! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly, and professional pet sitter.”

“Melissa came to meet Loki and learn all about him before his first walk. He had a great first walk with her and we are so grateful to have found someone reliable and caring to walk Loki!”

“Carly was amazing! Very detailed updates, lots of pictures, while taking care of our sweet girl. Proactive communicator from start to finish! We will be booking with her again!”

“Claire takes such good care of our cat Dori, as well as porch and outside plants and a stray cat that we feed every day! Her pictures and comments are expressive and thoughtful. Dori seems content when are away and when we return home. Thank you, Claire!”

“Open and honest communication. I really appreciated the prompt responses and reliability. Brandi will most likely be my go to cat sitter person in the near future.”

“Giana was great! She took care of our two pups for 3 days while we were out of town and was great with communication. One of our dogs is more skittish and people shy and Giana was very patient and willing to try all the tricks to get her outside. I would book Giana again!”

“Angela is great with dogs. My puppy loved her. She took her on a walk and Rocky did great. Angela was on time and personable and she is a natural around dogs. And she is such a nice person too. Highly recommend her.”

“Brady is outstanding! Highly recommend! First time using Brady for my diabetic cat. She came twice before the scheduled visits to go over instructions and first watch me give the injection then again to administer the injection. She did great! Followed all instructions while I was away and gave detailed information and pictures during the visit. I did not worry at all since I knew Romeo was well taken care of. I will definitely request Brady again when the need arises. Thank you so much!”
“Sabrina is very gentle and loving with Susu, I've never seen my cat warm up so fast to a stranger. Sabrina also does an amazing job at effortlessly giving him his required medication, offering him treat rewards, and keeping him happy by giving him enough attention through pets and play time. She's great at making Susu feel less lonely and comfortable, with the way Susu loves sitting on her lap. Will definitely contact her again for future visits!”

“James was very attentive to all of our pups needs. He was also very flexible as some of our plans had changed on the fly. He was patient (Cash can be skittish) and made sure he was well taken care of. We would recommend James for any pet care needs!”

“Thank you so much! We will definitely be using Clarissa again. She was great and helped clean up a mess our cats made. She’s very responsive and made our first experience with a sitter a good one!”

“Outstanding. That’s one word I can use to describe Josh. I have two dogs. One is very old, 13. I’m always worried about my golden retriever when I’m away. Josh sent me pictures that reassured me that the older dog was OK daily. He also vacuumed up dog hair, which was a pleasant surprise to come home too. The daily walks and the daily visits are priceless. Thank you Josh!! If you’re looking for a dog sitter, or a realtor Josh is your man. Very pleasant demeanor and very organized. With this type of work ethic, you can’t go wrong with Josh. Thanks again from my family! Tk”

“Katia is amazing, a cat lover for sure! She goes above and beyond with our needy cat, and even takes notice of our other aquatic pets even tho we didn't ask her to. We are lucky to have you, Thank you so much, Katia!”

“Ashley was awesome! She lovingly took care of our sweet old schnoodle like she was her own! Would highly recommend and will definitely entrust our dog’s care with her again!”

“Ashley was great! She dropped in to take my dogs to go potty, eat, drink and play in the yard. She came to meet my dogs before the drop in and they loved her! She took pictures and sent me an update. My dog takes medicine and she was able to give it to him without any problem. Ashley is awesome! Definitely will have her take care of my dogs again!”


“Lisa was excellent. She took great care of the varied needs of my cats. She made it easy to go on vacation. I came home to happy well cared for cats, mail brought in and garbage can brought up driveway.”


About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. From playful puppies to senior pets needing a little extra patience and attention, I’ve cared for them all—and I truly treat every animal like family. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a fun, energizing walk or a calm, reassuring visit, I adjust my care to fit your pet’s unique personality and needs. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. During visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, medication (if needed), and lots of affection and attention. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. I’d be honored to care for your pet as if they were my own! I'm currently working part-time on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I can usually pet walk/drop in or pet sit on the other days. I prefer to care for pets in their own environment because that's where they feel most comfortable. The safety of your pet is the most important thing to me.
About: I've fed dogs based off their schedules that their owner informs me, walks with them, sometimes runs so they can get some more exercise. I am not a trainer, but I will give them attention and I love to follow the rules. I work full time in New York, so my availability can vary. I'm looking for a flexible schedule, sometimes can be steady in the weekday, depending on the month. I have a townhouse in Mill Hill area, and a park which is at the end of the block. I live by myself so I do not have housemates. I do not have a large yard, but I do dog sit for my best friend in New York at least once every other month.
“In February, Lauren really helped me when I was in a bind. I was caught out of town, and my usual dog sitter couldn't watch my two puppies for an extra night. I was panicked, but Lauren saved the day! She cared for my dogs -- no questions asked (other than, "Where's the key?", haha). She was patient, flexible, and very dependable. I was able to trust her without meeting her face to face. That speaks volumes on how comfortable she made me feel. I highly recommend her to anyone in the area looking for a great friend for your pets! :)”
Stuyvesant-Prospect pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jen is an amazing sitter! Our pup Marley adores her! She is always reliable and has fantastic communication. We love her Rover cards with her notes and adorable pics of our pup! She is very detailed in taking note of any care instructions too. Can’t recommend her enough!!

This was our first time hiring a cat-sitter, and we were naturally a bit nervous since we were away for 30 days. Katia was wonderful with Kimi, attending to all her needs with consistent care. She was highly accountable and kept the litter robot, water fountain, and feeder spotless. It seems she’s a bit of a 'cat whisperer,' as Kimi was even more talkative with her than with us! Katia’s daily Rover cards became the highlight of our trip, giving us total peace of mind. We wholeheartedly recommend her as an excellent sitter!

Sabrina is very gentle and loving with Susu, I've never seen my cat warm up so fast to a stranger. Sabrina also does an amazing job at effortlessly giving him his required medication, offering him treat rewards, and keeping him happy by giving him enough attention through pets and play time. She's great at making Susu feel less lonely and comfortable, with the way Susu loves sitting on her lap. Will definitely contact her again for future visits!

Kaique was an amazing caretaker for our very elderly cat. It was very clear that Maxwell (the cat) was responding to Kaique, the pictures were great, and we came home to a very mellow and happy cat! It gives me great piece of mind to know that Maxwell will not just be cared for so well, but that aside from a lot of purring, it is not obvious that he missed us!

I cannot say enough incredible things about Melissa. From the very first message, her communication was prompt, thoughtful, and reassuring. She kept me updated consistently with photos and detailed notes, which gave me complete peace of mind the entire time. It was clear my pets were not just being “watched” — they were genuinely cared for, loved, and understood. Melissa followed their routines perfectly, paid attention to their individual personalities, and treated them like her own. I came home to happy, relaxed animals and a home that was spotless. What truly sets Melissa apart is her attentiveness and heart. You can tell this isn’t just a job to her — she takes real pride in what she does. She is reliable, kind, responsible, and an excellent communicator. If you’re considering booking Melissa, don’t hesitate. She is an absolute gem, and I would trust her again in a heartbeat.

Sofia was so great with our cats! I’ve struggled to find a sitter who genuinely cared about the cats and spent time with them, and Sofia was it! She played with Ash and left such a detailed message with so many pictures and videos while I was away. I would recommend her to anyone I know!

Rhonda has been absolutely fantastic! She kept me informed and sent pictures through the 2 weeks. She was clearly invested in making sure both my pups were eating, getting snuggle time and the different levels of exercise they each require. If you are looking for a temporary dog mom to replace you - Rhonda is GOLD! We are truly grateful for her frequent communication, her ability to roll with any ‘hiccups’ (dog knocks over everything in the bay window;), and just genuinely get to know their personalities and cater to them. We cannot recommend Rhonda highly enough!

Booked Camila on a last minute emergency, and she was extremely prompt and helpful! Our dog is a senior dog and she was great with him and took lots of photos:) He had a great walk, and was well fed right after! Camila fed our cat as well! Would definitely book Camila again, much appreciated her help today!

Rita did an amazing job caring for our 9-month-old anxious puppy, Figgy. She was so thoughtful, kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the day, and made Figgy feel safe and comfortable. We really appreciate her flexibility, especially as we just moved and needed extra support. No issues at all—looking forward to working with her again!
