Christie is a very reliable sitter! I dropped my phone in the pool first day on vacation and didn’t have a way of checking in but Christie kept on caring for my cat the entire time and went above and beyond!

About: I have always been and always will be an animal lover. Under my care, every fur baby is my own. I often sit my neighbor’s and ex-neighbor’s dogs and all of my friend’s pets (cats included!!) whenever I get the chance to, because I love that furry companionship. My 13yo baby yorkie that I co-parent with my sister lives right down the street, and he is my world. I’m located in the center of Court Square, right in the hub of all the subway lines (E/G/M/7/N/R/W). My fur baby mostly lives with my sister, so I crave that furry companion at home and have ample amounts of time to give them love, affection, playtime and all the walks they require! I live in a secured one bedroom condo in LIC and it is literally Dog Island City for those that aren’t familiar with this area. I have a private balcony with tree views in front and city views off to the left for pups who like to sightsee or just take in some fresh air in the middle of the day. I also have a rooftop and a 2nd floor patio with turf that the pups love to run around on! We take walks, eat snacks, play with toys and have meals at the same time. I also sit dogs who are indoor potty trained (on weewee pads), and I have a dog pouch for senior or special needs dogs who can’t walk at all but still like to go outside. I am a very generous belly rubber, scratch-giver and cuddler. I’ve been told that I spoil them all rotten 😬 fair warning. I rotate WFH days on a weekly basis, but it’s mostly flexible. On weekends we bring them everywhere with us wherever they’re allowed to go! My apartment features private and neighbor-shared spaces that pups love to run around in and play fetch! In my household, pups are free-range, unless they specifically require crates for training or routine purposes.

I was extremely happy with Jenna’s service. I used Rover for the fist time recently, and I was a bit apprehensive as I didn’t know what to expect. But Jenna is very responsive so making an arrangement for her to visit my cat while I was away was very easy. She sent me multiple photos during her visit so I can see how my cat was doing. Overall a very pleasant experience for me and my cat. I am so happy to find such a reliable pet sitter. Thanks Jenna!

Rebecca was an amazing cat sitter! Jamwee loved her instantly, and she kept me updated with photos, videos, and helpful notes about his eating and bathroom habits. He got tons of playtime and cuddles, and her sweet feedback made me so proud. I highly recommend Rebecca. She truly treated my cat like her own.

About: Hi I am a Graphic Designer working remotely in Long Island City. I have a 1 year experience of dog sitting through Rover in 2019 that built my expertise in taking care of pets well and fluent communication with owners. Now I live with my boyfriend who is also willing to take full responsibility together. Our apartment is dog friendly and we have Gantry Park and Court Square park near by. We love animals and we are ready to take care of dogs with full of love. We will make sure to walk the dogs at least twice a day and play with them over 30minutes a day for sure. With the experiences I had through out, I am acknowledged of common knowledge about dogs which will ensure you. I can not wait to meet your lovely dogs! My boyfriend and I both work remotely so we are both fully flexible to take care of dogs in home full time and go for potty. Our apartment has full security in the front door and the lobby with concierges so it's very safe. We would be always careful with the food and going on walks.

About: Hello! I live in an extremely clean and comfortable apartment, with 24/7 doormen. I am available full-time to take care of your dog. I am seriously an animals-lover - they honestly make me so happy and I am so excited to have the opportunity to take care of your dog. I have taken care of 3 pets by myself including a dog and two cats for 16+ years. Two of them have passed, which is one reason why I treasure each time I spend time with animals. I always take time out of my day to give them a lot of love and attention. They are part of my family, and I treat them with great care, and I will definitely love your dog in the same way. Because I am available full-time working from home, I am able to provide dog boarding and doggy daycare. I live with my boyfriend who also works from home, therefore, he and I are going to give a lot of attention to your dog :) Throughout the stay, I will make sure to feed your dog, play with your dog, take your dog for potty breaks, and give all my love and attention :)

Robin saved our life! We had tickets to a Broadway show and waited til the last minute to look for a dog sitter who could keep an eye on our 11-month-old pup, Dobby, while we were gone for a few hours. Robin came to the rescue and my wife and I had a relaxing few hours in the theatre and left Dobby in her capable hands. She walked our dog, played with him, tired him out, and put him to bed. We'll definitely keep Robin in mind the next time we'd like to see a show or go out to eat. Hooray!
