“This is our first time leaving our pup with a sitter. He was kind and easy to communicate with. Thank you for making the process easy! Loved seeing updates through photos and videos which made us feel at ease.”


“Coco did such a great job with my anxious dog. She’s thoughtful about what he needs to be comfortable while and is so communicative and helpful during the day with lots of status updates and pictures. It’s such a relief to have a sitter that’s trustworthy and that my dog is comfortable with - he can get overwhelmed with new people and new dogs, but he had a great time Coco”

“Grace is really amazing!!!! She agreed to a meet and greet at my request and once we met, I felt she would take great care of Toby. I had to reschedule the morning of the sitting and Grace was so kind and understanding and accepted the literal last hour change to the following week. When she was sitting Toby, she sent updates, pics and videos of Toby every hour. She took great care of Toby. I absolutely recommend her services and I will definitely be a repeat client.”

About: Having recently lost my soul dog (Scampy) of 19 years last year, I want to pay it forward. My family dog (Rosie) is 12 years old and I watch various size dogs for friends and family in nyc I work remote in a spacious 2BR newly refurbished apartment. There’s a dog park right outside of our building in addition to a lot of green grass in Battery Park city. I’m well trained with senior dogs. I have grown up around animals all my life and cherish the chance to look after new furry friends.
“My dog now becomes friend with Vera’s dog! Even before the day care start date she has already asked many questions for my dog to make sure everything is ready. During the day care she constantly sends my update with photos and videos. I know my dog has a wonderful stay at her home with his dog friend!”

“Christina was very easy to communicate with and made our boy Mosco feel well cared for. He’s not used to caretakers outside of us, and his daycare. But Christina took the time to make Mosco feel comfortable and supported. He absolutely enjoyed his day walking, going to the park and playing. Christina sent us photos and videos throughout the day to let us know what she and Mosco were up to, which was so helpful to see. We are looking forward to rebooking again!”

“Five Stars! They watched our new rescue puppy during his first few work days with us and were a pleasure to deal with in all respects. They also have a lovely dog, Walnut—we're hoping our new pup picked up some good manners from him! Thank you.”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and passionate pet sitter with over 10 years of pet care expertise. I’ve cared for a variety of dog breeds, from playful Golden Doodles and Border Collies to gentle Bulldogs and fluffy Samoyeds, including senior dogs who need extra attention and care. I’m also experienced in administering medications to ensure your pup stays healthy.

I have a flexible schedule that allows me to cater to different needs, whether it’s during weekdays or weekends. Whether your dog needs frequent walks or your cat needs companionship, I can easily fit these responsibilities into my week, making sure your pets are happy and well-cared for throughout the day. When it comes to pet care, safety and trust are my top priorities. In both my home and my client’s home, I create a secure and comfortable environment where pets can feel at ease. I follow any specific routines or instructions to ensure their well-being, from feeding schedules to medication needs. Whether it’s securing gates or monitoring playtime, I keep a close eye on pets to prevent accidents and ensure their safety. I treat each pet as if they were my own, building a bond of trust, so both you and your furry friend can feel confident and comfortable.
“Danielle was great with Walnut, who is a nervous little guy and has separation anxiety. She was good about giving him the space to warm up to her on his own terms, which I really appreciated. 10/10 will send him to her again”


“We booked Paige very last minute and she absolutely came through. Super responsive, attentive, and clearly great with Ziggy — he was happy and well cared for. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands on short notice. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Paige to anyone looking for a reliable, caring walker. Would definitely book again!”

“Qiuyan and her husband take wonderful care of our dog. They are attentive, kind, and genuinely passionate about what they do. I always feel completely confident leaving my dog at their daycare, knowing she’s in great hands.”


“I’m really glad I chose Yutong for daycare with my energetic little poodle. He was very attentive and reliable, asking all the right questions about my dog’s character, sharing photos throughout the day, and keeping me updated on how things were going. My dog came home happy after spending the day with him, and I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“We really enjoyed having Minsie take care of my doggie! My dog had such a great time and looked so comfortable and relaxed. Minsie kept me updated with sweet photos and messages throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I also booked at the last minute, and she responded promptly, answered all my questions, and handled everything with such care and attention to detail. Highly recommend!!”

The Waterfront dog parents share their Rover experiences
Coco was an amazing sitter to my puppy, Winnie. She was consistent with photos and updates throughout the day to let me know how Winnie was doing, and Winnie quickly warmed up to her and her adorable dog, Matilda- Coco even sent me a picture of Winnie cuddling with her! Coco is very welcoming and friendly and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter for their dog. She’s excellent!

Carly was lovely to work with. She was responsive and communicative leading up to the appointment, and afterward sent a number of cute photos and commentary while she looked after my dog - he seemed to have a great time. It was a really pleasant experience overall, and she conveniently lives within a 10-15 minute walk from me. I'm definitely interested to work with her again in the future!

Rebecca is a fantastic dog sitter, and my two dogs are always happy and calm with her. As a plus, her dog Brinkley is a wonderful friend to them as well. Rebecca is easy to communicate with and flexible, and her apartment is conveniently located near Borough Hall.
Our puppy had a bit of a weird tummy the night before. Alyssa was so incredibly understanding, we communicated beforehand and she spoke to us throughout the entire evening to ensure Teds was happy. Teddy’s home and feeling better than when we left her. Alyssa’s a gem - couldn’t recommend her enough!
