Would absolutely recommend them!”

This was our first experience with Rover and we will return.”

“Mirabel is a gem! Very reliable and has the touch with animals. All the pictures she sent of our Tommy show him relaxed and happy - he’s not used to having a sitter yet he responded by showing his belly to be petted.

He took great care of her, kept me updated, and made me feel comfortable while I was away. My cat warmed up to him very quickly and clearly enjoyed spending time with him, which meant a lot to me. I really appreciate the care and attention he gave her, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“We were so happy to rebook again with Anastasia to care for our cat in our home while we were away over a two week span. She is always so kind to our kitty, Jake, and has won him over even though he’s usually pretty skittish with visitors.

“Fantastic sitter! My cat was so happy and well taken care of. Dominique went above and beyond in taking care of Alina, sending picture and videos, giving my cat new toys and playing with Luna.”

About: I’m an experienced and loving dog sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. As a lifelong dog lover and dog mom myself, I understand that your pup is family—and I treat every dog in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want for my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs through regular sitting, walks, overnight stays, feeding, playtime, and keeping them comfortable in their owners’ absence. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual routine and personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, laid-back and cuddly, or a little shy and need extra time to warm up. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while giving you peace of mind. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands! My schedule is dedicated toward pet sitting. I will spend the day with the pups. We usually go to the dog park twice daily along with an early morning walk. I allow the dogs to free roam my space. They are welcome on the couch and bed. There are several rooms for separation if needed.
“Emma was really great! She always sent me updates on how it was going and was flexible about timing with my work schedule. My dog is super shy but she warmed up to Emma quickly :)”
About: Your pets will be in loving, reliable hands with me. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family, giving them so much attention and comfort that they won’t even notice you’re away🥰 I’m a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available most days and can easily adjust to your pet’s needs. Whether your pet requires extra cuddles, calm companionship, or lots of playtime, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and happy. When your pet stays in my home, they become part of my family from the moment they walk through the door. I provide a clean, safe, and pet friendly environment where they can relax, explore, and feel completely comfortable. I have 1 cat. Her name is Emerald she is 2 years old and she is absolutely spoiled. She has her own wall climbing catch tree that she loves and tons of toys.
“Kolin put our anxious elderly dog at ease right away and was accommodating of his quirky ways, and was patient with Webster’s glacial sniff-walking speed. He even persuaded him to take his medicine— not an easy feat. Highly recommend!”
“Teddy lover staying with Lauren for day care! I will definitely be using her again on a regular basis for my long shifts. She always responded so quickly and had pictures of Teddy just hanging out or on their walks. I love that she is close to a park so Teddy can walk around some green space and not always on the busy hot city sidewalks. Thanks Lauren!”

I’ve worked with little, medium, and big dogs, and they have been long term clients! People actually call me the dog whisperer! I work from home every day so i will be home with your pups! they can relax with me around the house or go out with me for errands or anything else! I treat them with love and plenty of play time! Dogs are allowed on our beds and furniture, so they will get lots of cuddles! I allow them to explore the house so they can get comfortable in the new environment and let them warm up to me so they are not scared. I have a big park just right across from me, I am in a very walkable neighborhood, so they will get great walks. I also have a big back yard they can lounge around!

“Banapsha is amazing! She made an immediate connection with Peanut who has some separation anxiety and has been through a lot of recent medical issues. She gave me frequent updates, pictures and asked questions when she was unsure what I would prefer in terms of her care. I hope to hire Banapsha again when she is available!”
“My 12 week old puppy had so much fun! Came home exhausted and covered in dirt haha. Andrea sent pictures and updates and was very good with communicating.”

About: Proud dog-owner for the past three years! Grew up in a house cosplaying as a petting zoo- cats, frogs, dogs, hamsters, you name it! Extremely flexible, willing to adapt, and excited to get to know your pets! Just a teacher trying to make enough money to have a career of not making enough money #fortheloveofthegame I currently teach full-time, so evenings and weekends provide the most availability. However, with summer around the corner, my availability will be expanding! After mid-May, I will have availability from 3:30 PM onwards. I currently live in an apartment in West Harlem with my 4-year old mutt. She warms up to most doggos, but an intro would be necessary! The apartment is near multiple parks, and I am located in a walkable area.
About: I am new to Rover, but have taken care of dogs since I was 11 with my childhood dogs, most large sized! Additionally, I have ample experience with pet sitting for neighbors, including both cats and dogs, and overnight stays. I am familiar with dogs with special dietary needs and preparing their meals, and distributing oral medication. I love meeting all kinds of pets and seeing each one’s unique personalities! I am a recent BU graduate with quite the flexible schedule! While I do some remote tasks from home each day, I am able to create my own schedule. Therefore, I can accommodate a variety of visits. I am only unavailable Wednesday nights from 6:30-9:30 pm. With the services I provide, I can help ensure a safe environment for your pet at your home or on walks. I am experienced with pets that are crate trained as well as pets that are not. I understand that each pet may have different levels of trust towards new people and look forward to building that with them!
“Zarah was very responsive and considerate. I appreciated all of the information she collected during our initial conversations, so she could plan appropriately around our dog’s needs. We’ll definitely use her services again!”
“Mirabel was great walking my dog! She was able to last minute walk him while I was in a bind trying to get him a walk while I worked! Would recommend her!”
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for over 10 years and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, where I helped care for dogs by walking, feeding, socializing, and providing them with attention and comfort. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, following routines, and making sure they feel happy and loved while their owners are away. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own! I’m currently on break for the summer from graduate school receiving my Masters in Social Work, and am free almost anytime during the day until September! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I’ll always treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
About: I’ve always had at least two dogs in the house, and have always loved caring for cats! I have plenty of experience taking care of horses and chickens, and I’m no stranger to taking care of many pets at one time, for example, 3 large dogs, 3 cats and 3 horses at the same time! I have a super open availability this summer, with more than enough time for late nights, early mornings, and overnight work! I have reliable transportation and a super free schedule to care for furry friends! I live in a condo with two elderly chihuahuas (almost 15 years old!) named Glory and Hero, as well as a super loving mutt rescue named Mysti! I love going for long walks with Mysti, and taking my chihuahuas for nice short walks as they get older. Making sure Mysti gets the proper exercise and attention is super important as she is a medium sized dog in a condo, as well as accommodating my older dogs as they age.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who has grown up around dogs and truly can’t imagine life without them. I’ve been caring for pets for as long as I can remember, and I regularly watch my friends’ and siblings’ dogs when they need help. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m a nurse and would love to watch your pup on my days off! I’m a registered nurse with a flexible schedule and several days off each week, so I have plenty of time to give your pup the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, including weekends and many weekdays depending on my nursing schedule. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. As a registered nurse, I’m responsible, attentive, and comfortable following detailed care instructions and responding calmly if something unexpected comes up. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I’ll treat both with care and respect. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including walks, feeding, medications, crate time, and any special instructions. My goal is for your pup to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away!

About: I’ve provided pet care for both my best friend and my aunt multiple times, usually for about a week at a time. I’ve cared for their dogs in their homes and always made sure they felt safe, loved, and well-exercised while their owners were away. I’ve also always naturally connected with animals and get along really well with both cats and dogs, even bigger or more energetic dogs. And as of January, I’m officially a cat mom to my adorable son Oswald (Ozzy) 🥹 so I definitely have plenty of experience with cats now too! I treat every pet like my own and love giving them lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles while making sure they feel comfortable and happy :) Pet care fits pretty easily into my schedule because I’m currently a college student with plenty of time between classes, full days off, and weekends available. I’m able to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention and care they need. Whether that means going for walks, sticking to their usual schedule, playing, or just hanging out and giving them lots of love and cuddles, I have plenty of flexibility to make sure they feel happy and comfortable :) Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I live in a roomy, pet-friendly apartment with two other people and my two cats, who are both used to being around other animals. I’d make sure your pet has plenty of space to feel comfortable and would give them lots of attention, love, and care throughout their stay. :) When pets stay with me, we usually spend time together in the living room — great for dogs who can’t do stairs — or relaxing in my bedroom if they prefer a cozier space. I’m always gentle, patient, and attentive, making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and completely at ease while you’re away.
“Nicholas was great with our very energetic, high-maintenance pup! He was very accommodating to a last minute request and I could tell Hazel was tired out after their walks together!!”
“Grace was wonderful! Very professional and caring. She took care of my Husky over the weekend which is no small task with such a high energy pup and she did better than I could have hoped for. I will definitely be using her again in the future and you should too.”

It was stressful to try and find someone quick that I could trust with my literal child but Joseph made it SO much easier even accommodating pick up and drop off. He sent me lot of picture updates and kept me well informed when she was having tummy issues (due to her heat). I tend to worry about my pup a lot due to her breed and the strict routine I have to make sure she is healthy (if you have a Frenchie you know lol).”

“We could not have chosen a better sitter for our puppy! We needed last minute care for our 10 month old pup as we were coming from out of town, and Zwany and Leandro made everything seamless all while taking the best care of our girl. They sent lots of photo and video updates and I could tell she was in trusting hands. On top of that, we needed to extend her stay last minute and they were so accommodating for all of our needs. We will definitely be bringing our girl there again whenever we’re back in the area! Thank you so much for caring for our pup as if she was your own!”
“Todd was awesome! Very communicative and attentive, and clearly seemed to provide a great environment for Beau to stay. He came home clearly taken care of, calm, and happy.”
