1. Mahlet B.

“Mahlet is everything you could ask for in a cat sitter and more. She communicated with us regularly, including lots of photos of our cat throughout the day. In fact, our cat was clearly enjoying his time with Mahlet so much that we think he misses her. When one of his toys broke, Mahlet replaced it with multiple new toys. As a bonus, Mahlet was generous enough to bring two packages upstairs and left our apartment spotless. We recommend Mahlet 100%!”


2. Madison O.

“Harry had a great time with Madison! She was so responsive, communicative, and flexible with my work schedule. I would recommend her to anyone interested!”


3. Lily F.

“Lily has taken great care of my dog and is very communicative. She even stayed with my pup when my heat and hot water unexpectedly went out while she was there. Super thankful for her love and care for my bebe!”


4. Caroline G.

“Caroline was great, and our beagle really enjoyed being with her! She clearly meshed with his personality which is so important! She also sent us regular updates and pictures which was so appreciated!”


5. Crystal M.


“Crystal stayed with my cat for 2 weeks and was a fantastic sitter. I was immediately put at ease because I could tell she carefully read through my instructions and asked me clarifying questions, and because - most importantly - my cat was cuddling with her from the get go. My cat doesn't do that often even with me! I requested daily updates, and Crystal sent a detailed daily update in addition to a lot of photos. Compared to other cat sitters I've used, Crystal was much more attentive and communicative. I was able to relax during my vacation knowing my cat was in good hands. Thank you, Crystal!”


6. Alejandra M.

“Alejandra was so helpful and kind. She sent us videos and photos daily. Luna loved her- and Luna can be picky. Would def. request that she watch Luna again! Also referring her to friend who needs a good sitter!”


7. Adolfo A.


“Adolfo was outstanding! He was super caring, communicative, and enthusiastic. He clearly takes pet care seriously, and I would without hesitation recommend Adolfo for the next time you need someone to look after your furry loved ones.”


8. Yasmin S.

“Once again Joshua provided exceptional white-glove level service for my pet. And my pet is no easy task; he gets nervous around people and other dogs, and Joshua stepped up and took his time and put both me and my pet at ease with his patience and professionalism. I highly recommend booking with Joshua and I would give 6 stars if I could.”




9. Celine D.

“Celine spent a wonderful day with my dog. She was very attentive and followed directions to a T. She is very friendly as well and Myla enjoyed playing with her. I would definitely book her again.”


10. Sarah F.

“Sarah was phenomenal! She was thorough, detail oriented, and communicative from before the job even started. Both of my cats loved her, and I have never seen my shy cat be so comfortable and happy with a catsitter as she was with Sarah. I was shocked to see her sleeping contentedly in Sarah’s lap in the photos I received! It takes a special person to win Margaret’s love and trust like that. On my return, my home was actually cleaner and more orderly than I’d left it. I hope that Sarah will come catsit again in the future, and so do the cats. :)”


11. Martine V.

“Martine was cordial, communicative, and competent. She respected our space and kept our apartment so tidy while taking care of our dog. Martine sent us updates and pictures and our dog absolutely loved her. We will be booking with Martine again!”


12. Anastasiia K.


“A wonderful sitter! Kind, attentive, and my Gio just loved you! Also, so flexible when the weather changed to make things harder for you and Gio. Great work, and we will definitely hire you again. Thanks a million!”


13. Dasja A.



“Dasja was lovely to have as a sitter! She came and met Bean (and us) beforehand to make sure our goals were aligned. She was communicative and kind and took great care of our pup! Would definitely book her in the future.”


14. Tiffany H.
“Tiffany was an incredible sitter for our two dogs over the holiday week. This was our first experience using Rover, and we couldn’t be happier that we found someone as wonderful as her. She was highly responsive, sending us multiple updates and pictures every day, which gave us total peace of mind. Our dogs were clearly in excellent hands, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Tiffany to anyone in need of a reliable and caring sitter!”


15. Chian L.

“Chian was reliable and communicated perfectly throughout my partner and i ‘s time away! The girls were happy and taken care of as well as our home. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter or just dog walking!”


16. Wei Han C.

“Wei house sat for Mochi, our 14 month old Miniature American Shepard, from 04/24/2024 - 04/28/2024 and she did a phenomenal job! This was our first trip away since adopting Mochi, so we were a little nervous about leaving her alone. From the beginning, Wei was very gentle and friendly with Mochi. Wei also fed Mochi as per our detailed instructions, took her for regular walks to Central Park, and shared adorable photos with us regularly. Wei put our minds at ease and allowed us to really enjoy our vacation. We would definitely book Wei again to house sit for Mochi!”


17. Mikey S.

“Mikey is the Best! I traveled several days for work and he was so attentive, communicative and loving to Peanut and Mia. Im very cautious and particular with who cares for not only my babies, but my home as well…. I felt so at ease with him and needless to say we will be seeing him again!”


18. Megan S.

“Megan was an incredible sitter for our dog, Jude. It’s been several years since I left Jude in someone else’s care and quite frankly have had a lot of separation anxiety myself. After meeting Megan and seeing how quickly our dog warmed up to her, I took a chance and booked some Travel. I’m so glad I did. Megan took fantastic care of Jude, including special food and medicine instructions. She sent me pictures and updates every day. I told her very specific things that Jude likes to do and she did all of them. Our house was in fantastic shape when I came back, Everything neat and tidy. I wish I could hire her full time. I have already started planning another trip and will be excited to have Megan as our Sitter. She’s really awesome. If you’re on the fence, you should definitely give her a try.”


19. Lauren X.

“Lauren was great! She was available for a last minute booking after our original sitter cancelled and was a life saver! She was super easy to work with and took wonderful care of Rosie!”


20. Alexis C.

“Alexis was an amazing sitter for Pickles. Based on ample photo evidence, they went on many adventures over the 3 days and she had a passion that went above and beyond for the role. Overall look forward to booking again and highly recommend.”
