“Rachel took wonderful care of our cat. She was extremely personable and communicative and made our long weekend away completely free of any concerns or worry. I highly recommend Rachel and her kind responsible cat sitting!”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and love caring for animals. I’ve fostered 14 cats, including kittens, undersocialized cats, and cats recovering from surgery, as well as fostered two dogs. I’ve also been a neighborhood dog walker and have cared for family pets. I’m comfortable with animals of all ages and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. **A quick note about boarding:** Because I have a cat at home, I'm best suited for dogs who can settle comfortably in a home environment. Unfortunately, I'm unable to accommodate dogs with severe separation anxiety or persistent barking, destructive behaviors, or difficulty settling. I want to make sure every pet in my care feels safe and comfortable! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate different pet care needs. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and provide consistent, reliable care based on what works best for you and your pet. I have my own cat at home, so pets staying in my home must be comfortable and get along well with cats. I always prioritize safety and make sure every pet has a calm, comfortable environment while in my care. For pets who aren’t comfortable around cats, I’m happy to provide care in their home instead.
“Arianna was amazing with my cat! She arrived right on time and I appreciated all the photos and videos she sent while I was away. Will definitely use her again!”

“Mary communicated clearly, promptly, and left long notes and comments about her visits. She was very enthusiastic and kind to our difficult cat. Amazing sitter, will gladly rebook.”

About: I genuinely love animals and have gained a lot of experience in pet care over the years. I ensure every pet I look after gets plenty of attention and care, making them feel safe and happy. I've worked with pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities, handling everything from daily walks and feeding to overnight care. I'm working a part-time job so I will be available to take care and walk your pets. I am very flexible and ready for any plans. I treat dogs with care and respect. I give them attention and make sure they are fed and hydrated. I make sure they don't misbehave in the most respectful way possible.
“Senica was absolutely wonderful with Bella! She was so attentive and caring, especially when Bella got a little anxious after we separated. She went above and beyond to make Bella feel comfortable by changing her environment, taking her for a walk, and holding her to help calm her down. I really appreciated how patient and thoughtful she was throughout the experience. It was such a relief knowing Bella was in such good hands, and I would definitely recommend Senica to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter! She was also able to accommodate a last minute request and I will forever be grateful for her.”

“Anne has been a great visitor for our Windy. She makes sure to give her lots of pets and keeps her company at lunchtime. She was always on time and sent cute pics of the happy hostess”


About: I’m excited to be back on Rover! 🐾 I’ve always loved animals and regularly foster and volunteer with the ASPCA. Since I travel frequently, I’m not in a position to responsibly own a pet, so pet sitting is the perfect way for me to spend time with animals and give them plenty of love and attention. I’ve been caring for pets for years, including Gus whom I met through Rover, my longtime dachshund companion whom I cared for 8 years. Sadly, he passed away last year, and I definitely miss his daily dose of sass, attitude, and personality. ❤️ I’m also comfortable caring for senior cats and administering pill powder or liquid medication mixed into their food. Expect lots of updates, photos, walks, playtime, and plenty of love! 🐶🐱 I'm a full-time student taking online courses, just need wifi and I can log on anywhere for class. Your pet will be constantly played with and care for throughout the day if needed. I have doggy beds in the bedroom, living room and kitchen. They can rest comfortably throughout the apartment is boarding at my place. I also have special dog bowls for fast-eaters, toy for them to play with.
“Booking Connor was the best decision I could have made for my month-long trip. I was extremely anxious about leaving my cat for that long, but Connor's professionalism and clear love for animals put me at ease. He provided consistent photo updates that showed my cat was comfortable, happy, and acting like his usual self, which gave me incredible peace of mind. Without a doubt, Connor is the only person I'll trust to watch my cat in the future.”

“Hannah was perfect for our little London! She was well looked after and we could tell London was enjoying spending her time with Hannah. We were on a trip and usually I get very anxious, but this time I knew she was in really good hands! Thanks Hannah :)”

About: Caring for dogs is my joy in life. I am always the go-to pet sitter for friends and family and will give the same level of love and care to your pups. I am good with dogs large and small, and will happily take care of their needs while you are away. Walks, baths, medication, etc. I’m happy to see to their needs. I work remote and have a somewhat flexible daily schedule. I’m able to work from anywhere and have ample time in the day for walks and potty breaks for your pup while I’m housesitting. For non-housesitting clients, I can reliably provide daily walks during the week before 9am or after 4pm, and anytime over the weekend. If you are looking for walks or drop in visits between 9am-4pm on a weekday I might still be able to help depending on how far from me you are, so please feel free to ask! If you don’t see what you need, please ask! With my own dogs I use positive training and treat rewards, we do not crate at home but I have experience caring for dogs who are and I am comfortable working with your preferred method of care. I’m comfortable working with reactive dogs, and dogs who are shy or need a little more time to warm up to someone.

“Faith was so great! She was super flexible and accommodating. My cat loved her and all the activity/ play time she provided! She sent so many great pictures too. Would definitely recommend!”

“Tara was terrific! Super fast communication, on-time, followed instructions down to every last detail, and was very attentive to our pup. I’d recommend Tara to anybody, and we will absolutely use her again in the future.”

“Wendy was once again able to work us into her schedule last minute to come look after Sherry .mshe always tries her best to helping out even when she is super busy. Sherry always enjoys her company . Wendy also is very communicative and always sends cute pics of her time with Sherry.”

“Maddie was great - reliable and conscientious! She arrived a few minutes early to greet Jack before I had to leave. She kept my young dog company and played with him until he was ready for a rest. She is coming back next week for another visit. I would definitely recommend her to look after your pet.”

About: I have always grown up with dogs around the house. I am very comfortable around mid size to large dogs (my dogs at home are big!). However, I do have a lot of experience walking smaller dogs in my building! I work hybrid (2-3 days in the office), on my work-from-home days I have flexibility to go on walks, potty breaks, or check in if needed! I have experience walking dogs in NYC - quietly coming in & out, securing harness/leash, navigating NYC sidewalks/parks, elevator/walks ups, clean paws off, and feeding.
“Dan is awesome! He came over with short notice and took great care listening to my cat's needs. I was nervous looking for someone to take care of my cat while I was on an extended trip, but he provided constant updates and created a homely environment for my cat. Will definitely book again!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Upper East Side is $25

We’ve been using Lisa’s cat-sitting services for more than two years now, and we couldn’t recommend her more. She’s dependable, caring, and always takes wonderful care of Peestryl. She also goes above and beyond with thoughtful little surprises that make us feel how much she cares. We’re so grateful to have found her and will continue booking with her whenever we need a sitter!

While I was away Mary took it upon herself to perform tasks above and beyond those that were agreed-upon (such as cleaning Oliver’s bowl and the feeding area). :-). Oliver looked so happy and content while being petted/brushed by Mary in her visit photos. Oliver and I look forward to booking Mary again for the next time that I’m out of town.

This is my first time using any sort of pet sitting service so I was understandably a bit nervous about the idea of leaving my cat alone in a new apartment with a stranger checking in on them. Meredith made my anxiety go away as soon as we met and I saw the way she interacted with my cat. She is going to be my first stop any time I’m in need of pet care moving forward and she should be yours as well.

We had a meet and greet before deciding, and Miko immediately vibed with Micaela, so we knew it was a yes! She sent detailed daily updates about his litter box, mood, eating habits, and even his food bowl. It was honestly amazing. I was away in LA, but her updates gave me so much peace of mind that I didn’t have to worry about Miko at all. She really paid attention to the little things not like others. Lowkey fire, would definitely book again (soonnnnn)

Mahlon was amazing. She always arrived around the same time every day. My fur babies were always so happy to see her. She always sent updates on any changes and left everything clean. It was nice coming home and not have to do much. Best sitter I have used and will be using again on future trips.
