“Brenda did a wonderful job getting to know us with a meet and greet. She was early and very prepared. She was kind and patient with our puppy. We plan to ask her to help us out again soon.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, whether it be dogs in my own home or pets of close friends. I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like and I’d like to say the same for every dog that’s met me! I’m currently in between jobs so I have ample time to walk your dogs or do drop-in visits with whatever fits best for your schedule. I’m open to whatever best advice you have for taking care of your pets (where to walk, where not to walk, favorite toys, etc.). I have favorite spots based on where I’ve been with my friends’ pets but open to whatever makes your pet the most comfortable with me.
“Tatyana has been fantastic. Punctual, sweet and very comunicative. I have received many pictures and a nice message that ensured me that Solferino was doing well. It was the first time I left my cat with her and I definitely recommend her.”

“Audrey was amazing! She was so kind to our pup, took great care of him, and was highly communicative with us. You can tell that Audrey loves dogs and it shows in her level of care!”

“Wendy has been a great sitter to Sherry , she engages with Sherry and spends time playing with her and giving her a lot of attention. Wendy has also been very flexible and willing to find time to swing by last minute .”


About: Hi! I’m Kelly, a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver who understands that every animal is unique. I have my own dog, and know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet like family. I’ve spent years walking and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments from high energy pups to more cautious or reactive dogs who need a calm, patient approach. I’m confident handling a wide range of personalities and always tailor my care to what makes each pet feel safest and happiest. In addition to my personal experience, I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter for over 12 years. During that time, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, including seniors and puppies, as well as animals with medical conditions, behavioral challenges, and special needs. This has given me a strong understanding of animal body language, proper handling techniques, and how to respond thoughtfully in different situations. Whether your pet needs a fun, active walk or gentle, attentive care, I’m committed to providing a safe, loving, and reliable experience every time. I treat every animal as if they were my own and I’d love the opportunity to care for yours! I currently work as a consultant, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I can accommodate a variety of walking and care needs, whether it’s regular daily walks, last-minute requests, or extended visits. I have one dog, Mia, who is 12. We have a completely enclosed balcony and a spacious one bedroom apartment where we have fostered many pups!
“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.”

“Eileen was super friendly and communicative. She gave our more outgoing cat all of the attention she wanted, and she even made our our much more shy cat feel comfortable enough to come out of hiding for some pets! We've had sitters tell us that they didn't see our shy girl all week, so it's a big deal that she was ready to come out and meet Eileen after only three days!”

“Joyce was AMAZING! We were out of town for a week and she followed the instructions we left and was great at communicating how they were doing. One of my cats is quite nervous and seemed to warm right up to her, was such a relief knowing my cats were being well cared for while I was away. Will be my go to sitter in the future!”

“Clint was absolutely wonderful watching Archie! He is a shy cat and hard to coax out, but Clint was very patient and made sure Archie had everything else he needed. Clint was also very prompt with his visits and shared detailed reports that helped me feel in the loop. Archie eventually came out towards the end, so I would certainly book Clint again since Archie seemed comfortable. Thank you, Clint!”
About: My family has set me up to be an avid dog-lover. I grew up with rescue dogs and have experience with all kind of dog breeds and personalities! In my spare time when I’m not walking or boarding for Rover, I volunteer at the ASPCA and spend my time with their pups! Spending time and learning about new dogs is my favorite thing to do, I hope to add your pup to my regular walks/ boardings!😊 I usually work in the office once/twice a week, and I try to walk 20k steps each day! I’d love to add your dog to my daily walk routine! I take pride in keeping a clean living space, and I would respect my client’s cleanliness as well. It’s important for a dog to have enough room to walk around and play. I live right next to Central Park and would love spending time there with your dog.
About: Hello! I've been a pet owner for a little over 15 years now! The first eight years, I had chocolate lab, and the last four years, I've had my very first kitty! I love spending time with animals and taking them out to play and walk to get the exercise and interaction they need. While walking or checking in on your pet, I will keep track of their bathroom schedule and make sure they get enough exercise to keep them happy and content. I will also strictly adhere to any rules or guidelines set by you regarding your pet and your home, such as the length and intensity of the walk and/or playtime so that you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is being well taken care of exactly how you want them to! I’m happy to take your dog for a run as well! I look forward to meeting you and your kitty or pup! I typically walk dogs and check in on dogs/kitties in the morning and on my lunchbreak during the week (this time is flexible!), and am able to walk dogs or drop in on your dog or cat after 5:45pm and anytime on weekends! In my client’s home, I care for their pet(s) by closely following the instructions left by the owner and making sure they have a great time during our time together. I also am sure to respect the client’s home and boundaries within the home.
“Ryan was wonderful. He was very responsive, always prompt, and very caring. Sunny and Penny really appreciated the love and playtime Ryan provided them. Would absolutely use him again cat sitting!”

Upper East Side pet parents share their Rover experiences
Eva and Tyler were so helpful in dropping in on Gweni. They were super communicative and made sure they covered all the little pieces of care that were needed during the visit, including a quick potty break, putting down water, feeding dinner, and giving an antibiotic. Thank you again!

Kathy took great care of our cat. It was our first weekend away as pet parents and she made it stress-free. She sent lots of photos and gave our kitty a lot of attention & playtime. I greatly appreciated her willingness to coordinate key exchange before/after the stay.

Sandy was SUCH a great caretaker for Theo. She provided detailed updates and ample photos and treated Theo like her own. I could tell he quickly bonded with her & she went over and above to make him (and me) comfortable and happy. Will definitely work with her again!

Madeleine took such wonderful care of our cat while we were out of town! She was responsive and very understanding of all of his needs! With an older cat, it gives us a lot of comfort knowing that Madeleine is there to make sure he is ok when we aren't around. She sent us daily updates and pictures to keep us aware of how he was doing! We'll definitely be booking her in the future!
Chloe is clearly very experienced working with animals. She watched our cat for 2 weeks and gained the cat’s trust very quickly. It gave us peace of mind while we were away knowing our pet was in caring hands. Chloe provided great updates and photos while also being very responsive. She came in the clutch on short notice to watch our cat. We will definitely be in touch with Chloe for future visits!
