“Wei and Jason have been my go to sitters for Nellie for a couple of years now. Nellie has difficulties staying alone but with Euitae I can go to work calmly knowing Nellie is having a fulfilling day and with pictures to boot, highly recommend!”

“Basil seemed to have the time of his life with Wei Han & her pup! Loved seeing photo updates throughout the day, would definitely love to rebook in the future :)”

About: I’ve taken care of my family dog since I was 10. I’ve also watched family friends and relatives animals for them when they are away on vacation! I’m currently working hybrid so I can be home most days if needed when boarding an animal! I will enjoy being able to get out of my apartment every few hours to take the dog for long walks! I live in an apartment with a roommate and we always keep the door locked when we are in and out of the home. My roommate has a standard poodle who is super mellow and great with other dogs!
“Haziza was wonderful! I had to take a last minute trip into the city and traveling with my pet (Scout) was tough. I made the request last minute and Haziza responded immediately! I was nervous as I have never used a Rover in the city, but Haziza has us meet and immediately I felt at ease! She went above and beyond for sending me photos and videos of Scout at the park and even enjoying her family time in the comfort of Hazizas home! I will 100% book with her again any time I am in the city! Cannot give her a high enough review!”

About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember! I've dog sat, been a dog walker, and have taken care of all sorts of breeds and dogs with special needs -- feeding, walking, bathing, and snuggling! I work from home full time so I’m able to meet whatever needs your pup has and I’m happy to be with them all day! I live with two dog-loving roommates who would be tried and true playmates for your pups! Our apartment has a good size living room and hallway for inside play, and we live right near Riverside park. I've stayed in others' homes while caring for their dogs for extended and overnight stays and I am courteous, clean, and respectful of your space and privacy.
“Bear had a wonderful 2 days of daycare with Hughes and Kathryn! They provided many picture updates, took Bear on several Central Park walks, and were very communicative and responsive. Bear will absolutely be back!”

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life: both big & small, pure-bred & rescues! I've had my own pup (a long-haired mini dachshund) for the last 15 months which has massively expanded my knowledge on puppies and training. I love dogs and will do whatever is necessary to keep them happy & healthy! I work from home 3x a week (Monday, Thursday, and Friday) and have a very flexible schedule during those days (I don't have many meetings). I also spend a lot of time at home during the weekends so I'm pretty much always around for a walk or pet sitting on those days. My pup is super friendly and absolutely loves other dogs, but is also low energy enough to play for a bit but then do her own thing. Having a young dog, my house is very dog-proofed to make sure she and other dogs I have visiting don't get into anything.
“Mara was so great with my puppy, Winston! She was super helpful with his training and kept me updated. I highly recommend her and hope she can come see Winston again soon”

About: i have a private fenced off garden that can be used when not actively on a walk. i have experience caring for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, birds, turtles, hamsters and fish. i’m a lifelong animal lover looking to expand my animal friends list 🙂 pet care is my full time job, i have a flexible schedule and the space to care for multiple animals if needed. i spend a lot of time exploring the neighborhood and would love to have another animal friend to join me on an adventure. i have a fenced yard and pet friendly apartment. i truly love animals so they would have my full attention at all times. if a client has any special requests i would be glad to fulfill them whether it be in my apartment or theirs.
“Lee and Alex are fantastic duo! They are incredible hosts and have graciously agreed to take care of our pup last minute. Lee was so thoughtful and kind, and sent so many pictures and videos as she knew I was worried (this was the first time we tried day care), and made me feel at ease. She is truly a great mama and it felt like she was my good old friend, and my pup's auntie. Thank you Lee and Alex! Satto can't wait to spend time with you and his new dog friends again!”

“We had such a great experience with Alyssa! Interactions were very positive including meeting up beforehand, great communication throughout the stay with photos and updates, and just a really nice person who makes you feel comfortable leaving your pup with. Thanks Alyssa!”

“Eleanor is great. We were visiting NYC and looked for someone to care for our Miniature Schnauzer. We saw Eleanor had many good reviews and many repeated customers. She was very accommodating - allowing us to extend our scheduled time at the last minute and start hours earlier. She asked us all the right questions - to assure the right care and kept us posted the entire time. I would also says Eleanor is incredibly punctual - which made for a quick and efficient drop off / pick up. You will be happy with her care. We recommend Eleanor.”

“Rowan was great! I booked last minute for my Brussels Griffon and he almost didn't want to come home with me at the end of the day! It surpassed my expectations and I will book again the next time I need doggie daycare.”

“I can tell my dog loved Carly because he was absolutely not amused to see me at the pick up, which never happened before. He looks happy and exhausted, thank you for taking care of my fur baby.”

“Kissing the skies for finding Sierra! She is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She went above and beyond and took Kobe to run all of her errands so that he wasn’t bored home alone. And when she was home she played with him all day and didn’t leave his side. 100/10 would recommend and we can’t wait to Kobe to stay with her again!”

“We have a five-month-old puppy who’s full of energy, and we reached out to Chen last minute hoping she might be able to help. She kindly accommodated us, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Throughout Peanut’s stay, she showed the utmost attention to detail and gave him so much care and love. She also sent frequent photo and video updates, which truly put our minds at ease knowing he was in great hands. Peanut had a wonderful day with her, and we can’t thank her enough for the peace of mind and the exceptional care she provided! 💛🐾”

“I left my girl this morning feeling anxious (she rarely left us since she was a puppy) but Mary did an absolute amazing job taking care of Nutella. We have a GPS tracker on her that also tracks her activity and Nutella had 152 mins of play and walk with Mary today! We received so many pics and videos which made me so happy. I can’t say enough good things about Mary. Thank you!”

Upper West Side dog parents share their Rover experiences
We could not be happier with Joseph to look after our Benji! Joseph took Benji for daycare for 3 days and clearly has a strong connection with dogs. Benji has some separation anxiety, but Joseph kept him very active and sent lots of updates and pictures. Benji was clearly having a great time in all of the pictures. When we picked Benji up at the end of the day, we could tell that he just had a great day with Joseph. When Benji needs looking after in the future, Joseph will easily be our first choice!

Leslie was awesome! I dropped off my King Charles Cavalier, Tallie, for doggy daycare, and she had such a great day. He took her on a long walk, played with her, and sent lots of photos and updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated. When we picked her up, it was obvious she had a wonderful time. Tallie came home happy, relaxed, and very loved. Highly recommend!

I had a wonderful experience from the very beginning. Amanda was incredibly caring, and sweet, not only with my dog, but also with me throughout the whole process. She was patient, communicative, and clearly genuinely loves animals. My dog clearly felt safe and happy with her, which meant everything to me. She kept me updated and went above and beyond to make sure both of us had a smooth experience. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy, responsible, and kind. I would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for someone reliable and compassionate to care for their pet.
