“Michelle dog sat my pup Ozzie for the night. He was immediately so comfortable with her and not as anxious as usual. She is great and communicated very well. I would highly recommend Michelle.”
“Razan did a wonderful job sitting for our pups as well as our place! My pups can be particular and she adapted to them and their quirks well - she had great communication and gave lots of pics and updates!”
“My elderly temperamental dog loved her time with Adeib. She immediately took to him, something that rarely happens. He kept me regularly up to date and I think the two of them had a great time. Would definitely book with Adeib again.”
“Ammon has been incredibly kind, conscientious, communicative, and courteous with my complicated loaf of a bulldog Ziggy. I know Manhattan is a challenging place to own a dog, but I also know that finding good, reliable care is hard to come by. I highly recommend Ammon for all of your dogsitting needs.”
“We couldn’t be more pleased with Ashley as our dog sitter! Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated regularly, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Ashley was also incredibly timely, always arriving right on time. She was so friendly and warm, making our dog feel right at home. When we returned, it was clear our dog had been well cared for—she was so happy and content! We are grateful for her care and highly recommend her!”
“Aida was a wonderful pet sitter! She sent pictures and kept in communication with us regarding all details! The pets and house were in perfect shape when we came home. She made sure they were well fed and the house was so clean! We hope to hire her in the future!”
“Caroline came to the rescue last minute for house sitting! Her response was fast! She is also super professional. She did a great job looking after my cat and my apartment. I hope to book her again in the future. Thank you Caroline!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From start to finish, the communication was great. Mint took the time to send updates, photos, and little notes that showed how much he genuinely cared. It gave us such peace of mind while we were away knowing our pup was being so well looked after. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring sitter!”
“Alejandra was an amazing dog sitter! Prior to the weekend, she asked a lot of questions to make sure she knew everything she needed to take the best care of Levi. She sent numerous update videos and pictures to let me know how Levi was doing and continued to communicate very well! I’ll definitely be booking with Alejandra again!!”
“Kelly was amazing!! I work long hours and she made me feel so comfortable leaving a little pup with her for the day. She made everything so easy and stayed with him longer than asked. She kept him company and also worked on training and socialization through outings. Linus absolutely adores her!!”
“Once again Adolfo took excellent care of my dog. He noticed he was acting unusually and sent video right away for me to assess the situation. Thank you again Adolfo for caring for Hendrix.”
“Durgaprasad was great! My dog Penelope really loved spending time with him. As a puppy she requires a lot of attention and bathroom trips. I can tell DP really enjoyed spending time with her and talking care of her. He was followed all my instructions and left my places clean and organized. I will definitely work with him again.”
“Wonderful booking Alice and Ethan! They took care of Gracie exactly per all our instructions. They gave her a lot of attention when she was awake and were perfect when she needed to rest. Thank you guys!”
“Absolutely awesome! Great communication and was very understanding with my dog that has some unique quirks. I came back to an apartment that was as clean or better than I left it after Emily has watched Benji overnight for 6 days. 10/10 would recommend Emily!”
“Adam is a fantastic sitter and walker - would highly recommend! Extremely communicative and responsive, and was very patient with my active dog. Adam took the time to understand my dog’s unique needs and did everything he could to make sure my dog was as happy and comfortable as possible.”

Upper East Side pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mary was great with our shy rescue and spent a full day with him while we had to attend an event. She was wonderful with staying in contact and letting us know that he was safe and happy. So relieved that we found someone we can trust with our little sweetheart.
Emily is amazing! She was extremely communicative, asked questions if anything was unclear or she was unsure, and provided constant updates and photos and videos. You can tell she truly loves caring for dogs and treats them like they’re her own. She also takes amazing photos. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!
I was very happy with Caroline as my pet sitter. It was my first time leaving my dog with a stranger and I was nervous. Caroline was very communicative and professional, and really put my mind at ease. I wrote up a long list of info/instructions and she didn't act like I was crazy! She was punctual. She left my apartment in perfect condition and my dog clearly had a fine time (he always has a little anxiety when I pack a suitcase but she clearly managed it well). I will definitely use Caroline again!
Allen was very patient with Major (as was Bean, Allen’s Goldendoodle). He achieved what I thought was impossible: he tired my boy out! They spent a lot of time outside (taking him for walks and bike rides) and quality cuddle times. When my flight was delayed, Allen was very flexible about staying late until I arrived. For my first time leaving Major, he was in great hands with Allen. I got the pics and vids to prove it!
This was my first time leaving Ruffles with someone, Mint’s puppy experience was a big plus and great reviews. I also had a wonderful experience, he’s super nice and great communication; I felt at ease. Arrived promptly and stayed an extra 10 minutes as I was running late back. I received updates and photos and really felt a-okay for the first time being away. Ruffles was in good spirits when I arrived home and slept through the night. I will be hiring again!
This was our second time booking Alice and Ethan to watch Mango, and we honestly couldn't ask for better sitters! We were away in Ireland for our wedding, and having them look after Mango gave us total peace of mind. Alice and Ethan were incredibly proactive and efficient at figuring out Mango’s needs whenever anything came up. They sent constant updates and were so patient with his initially shy personality. They were also super prompt with his feeding schedule and medical needs, including his inhaler. Mango was so incredibly happy the entire time. We are so glad to have found them and cannot recommend them highly enough!
Evelyn was great with our Luna. We've booked with her twice, and she's left the house in great condition and seems to have kept Luna entertained both times. Luna is temperamental at best with newcomers, but Evelyn softened Luna up almost immediately. Would absolutely recommend her, especially for animals that need a quieter person
Anxhela is incredible. My dog is usually very anxious, but he warmed up to her almost instantly — something that never happens. She kept me updated the entire time and was so communicative and responsive. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and has a special ability to connect with them, which gave me so much comfort while I was away. I came home to a spotless apartment, thoughtful touches, and even a sweet card. She truly went above and beyond and I can't recommend her enough.
Violetta took great care of Scooby. Communication was excellent throughout, and I really appreciated the many photos and updates she sent, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure Scooby was comfortable. I would be happy to book with her again.
We could not have had a better experience tan what we had with Mariah. She made sure our dog was safe, happy, and doted on. Our old lady has a couple of medicine routines and Mariah remained firmly on top of them. We got numerous updates with a happy, smiling bulldog. When we came back our place was perfectly kept and our dog was already missing her!
