“I never travel far because I am so scared to leave my three beloved cats, and even more scared to leave them in someone else’s care! I didn’t want to pass up an opportunity for travel so I sought out Caroline after seeing high reviews. I could not be happier with my choice! Super professional, communicative, and you can tell loves your pets just as much as you do. I have a trouble cat who needs extra care and attention with daily meds and Caroline did not disappoint making sure he got his medicine even when he made it difficult and hid.”
“Everything was great. Followed our pets schedule and provided plenty of love. The house was very clean when we returned so that was a huge bonus. Will definitely use again in the future”
“Alejandra is absolutely amazing! She has an incredible ability to connect with dogs and you can see how comfortable they feel around her from the moment she walks through the door. We feel so lucky that she was able to take care of Bee and that we could feel so comfortable with her care while we were away.”
“We appreciated Ruchika’s help so much! Our animals (3 dogs and 2 cats) responded well to her, and she was able to manage their specific needs/quirks. She responded promptly and provided regular updates. The pets looked happy! There were some miscommunications regarding times for arriving/leaving and amount of time they needed monitoring, but overall we would request her services again.”
“Leslie treated my dogs and my home like they were her own. She kept me updated with their walks, and meal times. Loved that she sent me pictures throughout the day and when I returned from travel my apartment was super organized and everything was in its place. Loved getting back to happy pups and a happy home. I would absolutely recommend. Thank you Leslie!!”
“Maija was great with our 2 dogs! This was first time having her watch our dogs and we felt at ease while on vacation for a week. She sent us updates everyday and pictures throughout the week too so we knew everything was going okay. Even the doormen in our building were impressed with her & how she took care of our dogs. Would definitely recommend Maija!”
“I hired Ammon to keep my dog over a weekend and everything went fantastically!!! Cooper can be a bit of a challenge and Ammon had no problems and sent lots of pictures and updates!! I will absolutely be using Ammon again! -Leslie”
“Scott did an amazing job taking care of our sweet Tuna for the weekend. Was super communicative, sent lots of great photos and was very accommodating with our schedule. Will definitely use him again!”
“Fatima was amazing from the first moment. I had to be away upstate for the evening, and Fatima could not have been more pleasant and accomodating with Max, a senior pup. She provided several updates, photos and videos throughout the evening that put me at ease, and I came back to a very happy dog. Extremely grateful for this experience, and I would highly recommend reaching out to Fatima any time you need amazing care for your pet. Thank you!”
“Ian took incredible care of my dog while we were away. He sent daily updates & went above and beyond taking care of her needs. Any future trips, I plan to ask Ian to watch her again & book him for walks and training sessions.”
“Madeline was the lifeline we didn’t deserve! She helped seamlessly onboard through trial walks, house visits, and managed a 10-day stay with our reactive/deaf dog. She was nothing short of incredible. Thank you Madeline!”

She sent so many pictures and videos, was super responsible and communicative, and my cats were so comfortable with her!! I’m always anxious to leave my girls but I felt so at ease knowing they were with Ying Ying. Even my one cat who NEVER lets me hold her, let Ying Ying pick her up all the time!! She will definitely be my go-to cat sitter and I can’t recommend her enough:)”

Upper East Side pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alley was absolutely fantastic with our Ro! Ro is super sweet but can be reactive with strange people and Alley went out of her way to make sure Ro was comfortable with her. She was super communicative and always gave updates, and she took extra special great care of Ro with extra walkies and lots of play time. Highly recommend Alley!
Abigail did a fantastic job watching over my cat with both drop-ins and a one week housesit! Came home to a very happy and healthy cat and she left my apartment in excellent condition. I fully recommend booking Abigail, and definitely plan to hire her again in the future!
Kayla was an incredible cat sitter! They were extremely responsive and understanding, and truly wanted the best for my babies. The night before I left, I had an emergency, and they rearranged their schedule to help out—which made the whole ordeal so much less stressful. I came home to a spotless house and a very happy kitty who clearly enjoyed his weekend! My cat is a rescue, and I wasn’t sure how he’d react to a stranger. Kayla was patient and gentle, coaxed him out of hiding, and by the end of the weekend he had made a new friend. Knowing he was in such caring hands gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Cinthia. She has been taking such incredible care of my two anxious pups while I’ve been away. Walks are usually a real challenge —they’re nervous, reactive, and not easy to manage—but she handles them with such patience, confidence, and skill that it’s clear she has real experience with difficult dogs. On top of that, she’s been giving them their medications, smoothly transitioning them onto their new diet, and keeping me updated the whole time. When my trip was extended, she was so flexible and accommodating, which gave me such peace of mind. I feel so lucky to have found someone so capable and compassionate. I would recommend Cinthia to anyone who needs a truly trustworthy and experienced sitter. She’s been amazing and a true gem!
Says Frances, “I can’t describe to you how surprised I was to find out I loved her, old Rover feedback forum… Well, there I was, way off my ambitions, getting deeper in my toy box, and all of a sudden I didn’t care. What was the use of playing fetch if I could have a better time telling her to come down the hall to pick up the stuffed bagel and cream cheese for me?”
Leslie is always wonderful with Teddy! She gives regular updates, leaves the house spotless and most importantly I always feel reassured of Teddys safety and comfort while he is under Leslie’s care. When she left he was looking for her - so i think it’s safe to say Teddy loves Leslie!
Catherine was fantastic! She was extremely communicative and clearly loves animals. Henry stayed with her while we were on a trip to California, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. He had a wonderful time and already can’t wait for his next visit!
Alex was fantastic house sitting for Oscar! He was responsive and proactive in his communication, left our house better than he found it, and most importantly took great care of Oscar. He has a reassuring and calming presence which was wonderful as we moved to a new city and Oscar gets acquainted with a new space. Highly recommend!
I always feel like the luckiest girl in the world when Kristina is free to stay with my five kitties! She’s so incredibly knowledgeable and experienced so I feel like I don’t have to be glued to my phone in case an issue arises with one of my dingbats. Her communication is stellar, my apartment is always spotless when I return, and the most important part: my cats ADORE her. There are certain cuddles my cats only do with me and no one else, even if a person visits regularly. Well, Kristina is the exception! They are doing the “mama only” cuddles on Kristina within a day!
