“Kristen was an amazing sitter! She responded in a timely matter. She was very loving to my cats and I felt very comfortable leaving knowing she was going to look after them. Would definitely recommend for your pets.”


“Lawrence has excellent communication, punctuality, and, most importantly, tact. My cat is very shy and doesn’t take to new people easily. Lawrence understands boundaries and took care of my cat without being invasive to his space. I couldn’t ask for a more thoughtful pet sitter. Highly recommend!”


“Kloe is amazing! The cats immediately warmed up to her and you can clearly see how much she cares and loves each pet. She read all my care instructions and performed them perfectly! I am definitely going to rehire Kloe in the future.”


“Michelle was a wonderful guardian for Asher while we were away on vacation. Her videos and photos gave us a lot of reassurance for our first time leaving him home over an extended period. We are so appreciative of all the work she puts in!”


“Mond was great watching our cat. This was his second time doing so. He kept her fed, litter box clean along with the surrounding area. He sent adorable photos of her. He is very reliable and already have him booked for our next weekend get away.”


“Shirley was very communicative from the beginning, took good care of my cat, spent time playing with her, and sent over her photos and videos. I came home to a healthy and happy cat. Will certainly book with Shirley again!”


“Our cat is 21 years old and requires lots of love and attention. Kaitlyn came daily to administer her three medications, feed her and clean her litter. But best of all was seeing pictures of my cat comfortable and happy with Kaitlyn! Will definitely have Kaitlyn come back to take care of our fur baby again!!”


About: Hi there! I’m Kelly an animal lover based in Little Neck, NY, with a flexible afternoon schedule and a passion for caring for pets like they’re family. Whether you’re looking for a dependable dog walker, a quick drop-in visit, or overnight boarding in a safe, pet-friendly home — I’ve got you covered! I’ve grown up around dogs and cats, and I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I make sure every dog gets the care and attention they need — whether it’s an energetic walk, a belly rub, or just someone to keep them company. 🔹 Services I Offer: – Dog Walking (available weekdays after 3 PM) – Drop-in Visits for feeding, potty breaks, and play available after 3pm and most weekends! – Occasional Boarding (your pet stays at my home) My home is safe and pet-friendly, and I only board one pet at a time to make sure your dog feels relaxed and at home. I know every pet is unique, so I’ll always follow your instructions closely and send regular updates and photos so you feel connected even while you’re away if this would be helpful! Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet so your pup can get to know me! 🐾 I currently have a full time job but am out of work by 3pm which leaves me plenty of time to take care of pups in the evenings! I also have availability over most weekends! ⸻ I provide a safe, loving home with lots of playtime and walks! I follow all care instructions closely and treat every pet like part of the family. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities!

“Amazing care and service! She took the time to come get the care instructions for my cats before my trip and my girls were super happy with her! Would rebook for future trips!”


“Judy was awesome! Smokey and Bandit took to her and loved her from the first meeting. She did an amazing job taking care of them daily while we were away. Highly recommended! Thanks again Judy!”


“Eugene was fantastic, he was quickly responsive and able to help us out even at the last minute. He has great attention to detail, and took extensive notes and pictures to make sure the feedings and quirks for our three pets were taken care of. He kept us up to date and posted pictures of every feeding. We would highly recommend Eugene for your pet watching needs.”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, treating each one like my own. From playful pups to senior snuggle bugs, I want your pets to feel safe, loved, and happy. I am a speech therapist at a skilled nursing facility who works close to home. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to give your pet and mine plenty of attention and care. Plus, a loving family member is always home for extra company! I create a calm, loving environment with lots of play, cuddles, and routine. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your pet’s schedule to keep them happy and comfortable. Available for meet and greet by Mary Jane Davies park prior to pet boarding. As a personal preference, we don’t do meet & greets in the home and don’t take more than one dog (unless it’s from the same family, 2 max). We don’t mind sending daily pictures and updates.

“I couldn't be happier with how things turned out with Shang. From the very beginning, he was wonderful with communication and very understanding about my hectic schedule (and my embarrassingly messy apartment). Even though I wasn't able to show him around before I left, he still followed all the instructions I left for him, and had a few really great suggestions of his own! My cat is very shy, so he didn't come out, but when I got home, he seemed in the best spirits of any trip I've taken, and I know it was because he was taken such good care of. It was a stressful few weeks, but knowing that I had someone like Shang to take care of my cat while I was away was a huge relief! I'd happily have him back any time!”


About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life—I’ve cared for all kinds of pets and love every tail wag and sloppy kiss. I’ve walked and watched dogs for friends for years, and now I’m here to give your pup the same love, attention, and fun. Rain or shine, cold or hot—I’m always ready with a leash, treats, and a smile. You can count on me to show up on time, stay prepared, and make your dog’s day I’m currently a student enrolled in an online master’s program, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available to work mornings through evenings, Monday through Friday and Sundays. Saturdays tend to be a bit busier for me, but with advance notice, I’m happy to accommodate requests on that day as well. Your dog’s safety is my top priority on every walk. I always use secure leashes and harnesses,(please let me know if you do not have one in advance, I can provide it), stay alert to our surroundings, and avoid unsafe or overly crowded areas. I never walk dogs off-leash and always follow any instructions you provide. You can trust that your pup will be safe, loved, and well-cared for every step of the way.

About: One day in 3rd grade, I had come home from school to the surprise of a life time: my parents had adopted two of the sweetest puppies - a Siberian Husky and a Yellow Lab. It was the best day of my life! From then on, Skye and Sandy, respectively, were my absolute best friends. I had the best childhood with them, and I learned a lot about responsibility from them. I took them on daily walks and played with them in the backyard. When they were sick, I had the magic touch (a slice of cheese to hide the pills in)! Sandy and Skye have both since passed, and I haven’t been able to have another pup of my own yet. I have, however, been a regular dog sitter for my loved ones. I LOVE the time I get to spend with these dogs, and I would love to give my time and attention to your pup as well! The first sight I see in the morning is my cat standing over my face waiting for breakfast. I feed both of my babies before heading to work, whether to the office or working from home. If I’m working from home, I take time to get some activity in with my cats, using lasers and toys to get them moving and awake. If I’m in the office, I’ll do this when I get home from work. After this I’ll spend some cuddle time with them and maybe put some Cat TV on YouTube for them. Then it’s time for dinner included with supplements, like salmon oil. I end the night cuddling in bed with the cats and hoping that tonight there are no 3AM zoomies! When I dog sit for my family’s dog, Otis. I walk in the door and immediately am greeted with multiple kisses and lots of love. I obviously embrace the love and okay with Otis for a little bit, making sure to throw him his favorite red ball. Then, I might sneak him a little treat for a great playtime. When I feed him I make sure to carefully measure his food according to his owner’s instructions, as well as make sure he has a full bowl of water after a tiring playtime. When it’s time for his walk, we make sure the weather outside is suitable for him to be out there, and go on our way! Otis loves to greet the neighbor’s and their dogs as we go. I ensure that he is going in the appropriate places and always thoroughly clean up after him. When we get home, he loves to snuggle on the couch while I watch New Girl, or whatever reality show I’m currently binging! I make sure to be attentive to all of his needs and make him as comfortable as possible!

“Stacie took care of my two cats while I was away for an extended period. She was extremely communicative and kind and the cats were well taken care of! I could not have been happier with the experience and would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you very much, Stacie!”


“John did a great job feeding and cleaning up after my 4 cats. He came at the times expected. John was courteous and attentive and communicated with photos and texts while we were away. I will definitely use John again. I felt comfortable trusting my home and cats to him. Thanks!!”



“Sarah did an excellent job taking care of our cat (and our fish) while we were away! She was responsive and responsible, carefully followed care instructions and sent thorough updates and photos each day of our trip. We would definitely book her again! This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t be more pleased with the whole experience.”

About: I have experience working with multiple dogs of all sizes through family and friends, from small feisty Poodles, Corgi's, to large German Shepard breeds, I can handle all the usual needs you may need from keeping them busy and happy to the usual walks and strolls that every dog needs! For the current summer, I am usually avaiable for dog walking or drop in visits during the weekdays at 7AM to 3PM. I can hash out details if needed for certain days I may not be available.

Juliet P.
“Juliet has been an absolute blessing for both me and my 11-year-old black lab mix, Patrick. From the very first time they met, it was clear that there was something special between them—Patrick lights up the moment he sees her, tail wagging wildly as he runs to greet her with the biggest, happiest hello. It brings me such peace knowing he’s in the care of someone he adores and who genuinely adores him right back. Juliet is not only incredibly caring and attentive, but her love for animals shines through in everything she does. She treats Patrick like her own, and that means the world to me. She consistently keeps me updated with messages and photos when she's looking after him, which I deeply appreciate. Working with Juliet has always been an absolute pleasure—she’s reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely one of the kindest people I’ve met. I can't recommend her enough to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry family member.”


Alyssa I.

Hannah L.
“Hannah is responsible in all aspects of life, from work, school, caregiving, and personal relationships. She is a punctual, kind, and thoughtful person. As a friend, I know she is a tremendous help in caring for her family dog of 5 years, Benjamin, despite no longer living at her family home. As a fellow Rover sitter (and cat mom), I can recognize she possesses all the necessary traits to provide pet care that goes above and beyond. I would definitely leave my two kitties with her and I highly recommend Hannah!”


Gary W.
“Gary is my go-to pet sitter whenever I’m out of the state/country! I have two pets, a parrot and a shepherd. He does a phenomenal job taking care of both of them. Not only does he provide me with photo updates of my babies, but he also lets me know if something seems out of the ordinary. Both of my pets love him, he is truly great with animals!”
University Gardens cat parents share their Rover experiences
Mond is incredible as always. My baby Lucy loves him and he is always on top of communication and makes me feel better leaving for trips every time. Thank you!!!

Though it was Michelle second time of sitting Katie and Maya, she was able to pet Maya who usually does not show up and allow her own family members to pet her. Great Job! I would recommend and use her again.

Kloe is amazing! The cats immediately warmed up to her and you can clearly see how much she cares and loves each pet. She read all my care instructions and performed them perfectly! I am definitely going to rehire Kloe in the future.

Anna is an amazing pet sitter! She is genuinely passionate about animals and provides excellent care.

Jessica is an excellent caretaker of our cat Aden. Helped us with drop in visits for 3 days, coming punctually and playing with our cat how we would if we were there. Aden took to her very fondly and trusted her right away ! If you want a trust worthy pet taker book Jessica for your pets :)

Amanda and Josh are the best cat sitters ever! My super shy cat loves them and they love her back. I never worry when I am away because I know Amanda and Josh treat her as if she were part of their own family of fur babies.

Kathryn is a great pet carer, she did an amazing job taking care of Oreo during our trip. We really appreciated the updates and photos from her drop-in visits. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Oreo was in such capable and caring hands. We will definitely be booking again!

So glad to have found Sarah! She does such a great job taking care of our two cats and is one of the only sitters we've had where our super shy cat warmed up to her right away.

Kristen was very professional polite and on time.i wi recommend her to anyone that love their pets.i will definitely use her again.

Stacie is wonderful. We felt very comfortable leaving the care of our cat crew will visiting our son. Se went beyond the call of duty and kept us weel informed and reassured.

Judy has helped me countless times with Tiger. She is thoughtful and caring, and took great care of Tiger. This time I’m gone longer so I asked Judy if she could take Tiger out for a walk. She has no problem with it and took pictures when they were out. Tiger is happy and I’m thankful for Judy’s great work!

Kelsey is super! She is very responsible, is ease and friendly with our cat, communicates very well and keep us posted. She went above and beyond and cares about our cat.

Emma is a wonderful sitter! We felt at ease being away knowing our cat was in her care. She was very communicative. Our cat warmed up very quickly. She took extra care of our little guy with some extra needs (special diet, medication). Highly recommend Emma. Will be booking again for our next trip!
