“We had a wonderful experience boarding our puppy with Ayush. From the start, communication was excellent, and we felt completely at ease leaving our puppy in his care. He provided regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our puppy came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that Ayush genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and treated our puppy like part of the family. We especially appreciated our puppy having new friends to play with (Ayush’s dogs). We would absolutely book with Ayush again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy person to board with.”
“My furbaby was comfortable with Keirstin. He spent a day with her before his 3 nights of boarding. He was quite excited to see her again to start his boarding for which I was pleased to see. While we were away, Keirstin sent us photos and updates and she was very responsive when I asked questions about his settling in her home. Thank you Keirstin.”
“Angela (and her partner Dan) took great care of Truffle. They sent meticulous updates with photos throughout the day. Truffle got to spend plenty of time outside and was very comfortable in their home.”
“Nicolle and Rolando were the definition of perfection! Flexible with my last minute booking due to unexpected travel, tons and tons of pictures, amazing communication and I truly felt my fur baby was in the very very best hands! This was a complete win and will be Milky’s go to going forward! So grateful and he had such a good time!!!”
“If you're new to Rover or looking for a new dog sitter, Grace is the person to go to. I had an unexpected trip come up and needed to find someone quickly. There's always some unease leaving your dog with someone you haven't built a rapport with yet - but I'm so glad I found Grace. Her thoughtful questions about Ahri before the booking, and the confidence she gave me with her answers, made it easy to trust her with a 2 week stay. While I was away, she sent daily updates with photos and videos. Whenever anything came up - a light scuffle with another dog, an allergic reaction Ahri was having - she gave detailed updates along with how she handled each situation. Even when I wasn't able to respond right away, she kept the updates coming, which really put my mind at ease. I could tell within the first day that Ahri was comfortable - from the way she was running around with Grace to how relaxed she looked resting at her place. I would recommend Grace 1000% and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Whatta refreshing experience! They were awesome with my cat Ziggy. Hes a young kitty and skiddish around humans because he started out as a stray. Showed up at my door a few years ago so i took him in. I know he was a bit of a challenge but they seemed to handle him extremely well. Thank you both very much!!”
“I can’t express how amazing my dog’s stay was with Maisha. I literally won’t book with anyone else! She sent photos and video and was incredibly responsive. My dog had a blast during his stay. I will book again and you should too if you’re reading this!”
“We booked with Sanaz for a long weekend and Ivy adored her! She sent us daily updates and took Ivy on lots of walks. Ivy gets very anxious when we go anywhere without her, and Sanaz was very understanding of her separation anxiety and made her as comfortable as possible. She also was flexible with timing of drop offs and pick ups which was much appreciated!! Thank you so much! (:”
“George was so amazing to Turbo!! his little dog and Turbo got along very well. He gave me a daily update and took Turbo on nice walks. I really appreciate him working with my flight schedule. I landed very late at night and he stayed up so I can pick up Turbo on my way home so I didn’t have to make a second trip. Highly recommend this sitter!”
“I had a great experience with Ruth! She took excellent care of Valentino and kept me updated throughout his stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Valentino was very happy and well cared for. I truly appreciate how attentive, responsible, and loving she was with him. I would definitely recommend her and would gladly have her take care of Valentino again!”
“Rochelle took excellent care of our little fur baby and provided constant updates to how she was doing. Rochelle is also very knowledgeable helped provide insight to help us care for our cat. Excellent service and we hope to have her care for our cat again in the future.”
“Mitchell might be the BEST sitter we’ve ever booked on Rover. He sent the best pics of churro and reassured us every day how much fun they were having, putting us at ease and letting us have an awesome vacay. So communicative and responsive, I trusted churro had the time of his life. He walked churro home so that when we got back from our trip, he was already in our apartment!! Honestly no notes, 10/10.”
“Katy and Lucas were fantastic with our puppy! They sent lots of photos and updates, which really put us at ease, and they were so patient and understanding. Our puppy had an amazing time playing with their corgi—we couldn’t recommend them more and will definitely book with them again!”
“Farrah had another fantastic stay at Ian and Clementina’s! They shared numerous updates, photos, and videos during her multi day stay at their apartment, and came back super happy!!”
“Willow had a great stay with Minako. She sent pictures of her playing with other dogs in the dog park. Willow seemed healthy and happy when she came home. Drop off and pick up we're easy.”
“Siding has been an amazing sitter for my dog! She is super nice and responsive to messages. Sidun sent plenty of photos and cute videos daily to put my mind at ease during my trip. She is very responsible and always makes sure that my dog’s needs are fully met. She was also very flexible with the pick up time. My dog came home smelling great and looking very happy. I will definitely recommend Sidun and book with her again!”
“Michael was awesome with T and great with communicating with me. Even meeting up at dog park before the reservation to make sure T was good for him and his space. Moreover, immensely accommodating amongst some travel issues. Highly reccomned”
“Five stars for Jane! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I left my beloved pug, Lord Ginsberg, in Jane’s care while I traveled to Mexico, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. Lord Ginsberg is not your average dog. He has his own routines, preferences, quirks, and very strong opinions about comfort. Jane understood all of that immediately. Her patience was absolutely legendary, and she took the time to learn his specific needs and little eccentricities without ever making me feel like I was asking too much. What meant so much to me was how communicative she was throughout my trip. She regularly sent adorable photos and videos of Ginsberg, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. Every update made it clear that he was happy, comfortable, and being genuinely cared for. Jane is not only responsible and attentive, she’s also warm, funny, and incredibly understanding. The best compliment I can give is that I could tell she truly enjoyed Lord Ginsberg’s company. She wasn’t just watching him, she was spending time with him and appreciating his unique little personality. She even came to understand his profound and unwavering love of cheese, which any true friend of Ginsberg quickly learns is a very important part of his worldview. When I came home, I found a happy, relaxed, well-cared-for pug, and that’s every pet parent’s dream. I can’t thank Jane enough for the care, kindness, humor, patience, and attention she showed him. Anytime I travel in the future, I will be hoping Jane is available to take care of Lord Ginsberg again. She has my highest recommendation.”
“Eduardo was awesome, our dogs didn’t want leave. Took care of our pups, super responsive. The home was clean, and we received updates daily. We will definitely use Eduardo again.”
“Vasiliki is amazing with Kira. My dog is a bit anxious but she loves Vasiliki and looks forward to staying with her all the time! She is super responsive and sends me frequent updates about Kira during her stay. Vasiliki was very accommodating of accepting Kira for a last minute request as well. Kind and responsible, will continue to have Vasiliki take care of Kira moving forward! 🙂”

“Thank you Kasey for taking such good care of our kitties! She was very responsive and quick to communicate anything that came up. We would definitely book her again :)”
“Kaylee was great! She took everything in stride with our 3 cats, including Zoe hiding behind the sofa every time she was there, and Sammy cornering a mouse in the fire wood. Everyone was well cared for in our absence, which gave us such peace of mind.”
“I highly recommend Dong to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter! He provided daily updates and photos which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cat, who is usually shy, quickly warmed up to him, which says a lot about his gentle and patient approach.”
“Deanna did a fantastic job with my cat during a four-day drop-in visit. She was professional, incredibly sweet, and provided consistent, detailed updates. My cat is very timid with strangers, but Deanna went out of her way to socialize with him, and by day two, he was already playing and cuddling with her! I highly recommend Deanna for anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
“Very easy working with Woonsan, felt extremely confident my cat was in good hands. Detailed updates and pictures were highly appreciated. Would definitely book again!”
“My cat has quite a few special needs, and Kobi did a great job making sure he was well taken care of! She sent pictures everyday either playing or hanging out with my cat which was awesome. I highly recommend her for all your cat sitting needs!”
About: I’m a therapy dog handler with my french bulldog of 3 years. I’ve owned 3 dogs to date and currently lead a 100% volunteer-led nonprofit that supports canine health in NJ!

I will respect your home and ensure your dog has the best experience on walks and playtime! I’ll also be very communicative with sharing photos, updates or any questions or comments you may have!
“Katherine provided timely, detailed updates and photos. I could tell she took such great care of our cat based on the pictures and small, sweet moments she noticed and captured. Our place was super clean as well. :) thank you Katherine for taking care of Jalebi on a holiday weekend nonetheless.”
“Jess is absolutely phenomenal - she’s attentive, detail oriented, caring, communicative, and very clearly loves my Desmond. Des is GI sensitive, and I needed to be away from him longer than what he’s used to. Jess managed him fantastically, caring for him, but also providing companionship and attention, not just feeding/cleaning logistics. She tracked his wellbeing when he had a bit of a GI wobble, and was attentive and attuned to him. I felt so confident in Des’ care despite being thousands of miles away. I cannot recommend Jess more highly.”
“Kaitlin took such great care of my cat Nito while I was away. She was very attentive to his (I'm sure numerous) needs and definitely passed the cuddle test. We would have her back any time and highly recommend her for your pets too. :)”
“Kathryn was absolutely wonderful taking care of my cat, Sheru. She was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring - I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. I’d happily trust her again and highly recommend her.”
About: For over 10 years, I have cared for cats belonging to family, friends, and trusted acquaintances who have relied on me with their beloved pets. Through this experience, I’ve learned that cats thrive on patience, respect for their personal boundaries, and, above all, consistency in their daily routines. I believe in giving love in whatever way they prefer—whether that’s quiet, gentle presence or active, playful companionship, always guided by their unique personality. I am fully comfortable with cats of all ages, from energetic kittens to sweet seniors. With a flexible schedule and complete dedication, you can count on me to provide reliable and loving care for your furry friend.
“Kate and Alex took amazing care of my babies (2 kitties) while I was out for a long trip. They are trustworthy, great communicators, caring and loving with both cats, and my shy cat loves them!!! This is my second time leaving my babies in their care and they are wonderful. Couldn't recommend more.”
“Sydney was absolutely amazing! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease trusting her with our cats and our home. She went above and beyond in every way — thoughtful, reliable, and truly caring. She kept us updated, handled everything with such intention, and even took care of unexpected things with calm and compassion. It was clear how much she genuinely cared, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking again. It’s such a comfort knowing our home and our babies are in such good hands. ❤️”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my patience and my ability to adapt to each dog’s individual needs. I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs as well as dogs belonging to friends and acquaintances while they were traveling. I am especially comfortable caring for senior dogs and dogs with cardiac conditions. I understand the importance of routine, close observation, and giving medications carefully and on time. I always follow the owner’s instructions in detail to ensure each dog’s health and well-being. I also have experience working with puppies. I know how to keep them engaged with age-appropriate activities, both indoors and outdoors, while maintaining structure and safety.

Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in my home. I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs before welcoming them into my space. Pets in my care stay in a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I closely supervise them, maintain consistent feeding and walking schedules, and make sure they always have access to fresh water and a safe space to rest. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medications, and any special care requirements. I pay close attention to details and adapt my care to each pet’s needs, whether they require extra patience, a quieter environment, or more frequent check-ins. I prioritize gentle handling, patience, and positive reinforcement at all times, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident knowing their pet is in responsible and caring hands.

About: Hello my name is Nicholas and I'm a pet loving, experienced dog walker. I just received my first 5 star rating. I take great pride in providing the best pet care possible for my clients. Besides having pets growing up I was the only child. So I fully understand the value of a pet as a member of the family. I'm a full time pet care provider but more over we're a family owned business. So we provide pet care in McGinley Square and in Society Hill. Essentially we walk, board, pet visit, and doggy daycare all week. Plus on holidays. We have a backyard so the guys get run some laps and get in some much needed quality time. Plus we literally take group photos. Plenty of belly rubs to give out and fresh Poland Spring for the modern active doggo.

“Angela and Daniel are SO attentive and caring. They have such a happy and friendly energy that is sure to be felt by our pups. It's very important to them that the pup in their care feels safe and calm. When they'd share photos, it was very apparent that my pup Maple was having a great time and felt totally relaxed. (Maple has separation anxiety - so I was thrilled to see how quickly she felt comfortable and wasn't anxious.) I recommend Angela and Daniel whole heartedly!”
“Zhiyuan is very attentive. our dog BMO has a bit of separation anxiety but he was immediately comfortable with Zhiyuan. She is absolutely fantastic and definitely will rebook since BMO loves her!!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, including two dogs and two cats, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I currently have my own 9-month-old French Bulldog who is very well-socialized, friendly, and comfortable around other dogs. I also have hands-on experience caring for French Bulldogs and puppies. I helped with a litter of 9 Frenchie puppies, assisting with feedings, cleaning, potty time, daily care, and eventually helping with their training as they grew. I’ve also cared for up to 6 Frenchies at once and have experience managing feeding routines for multiple dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and understand how important patience, consistency, attention, and safety are when caring for someone’s pet. I treat every dog as if they were my own and want every pup in my care to feel happy, comfortable, and loved. 🐾❤️ I have free time all the time as I work from home and are doing online schooling in my last year of undergrad at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. I have a spacious apartment with a 100 square foot balcony that is turfed and routinely cleaned area for my French Bulldog to potty if needed. I take my dog out every 4 hours on a walk. We have a park a block away from my apartment.

Pets in my care stay in a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I closely supervise them, maintain consistent feeding and walking schedules, and make sure they always have access to fresh water and a safe space to rest. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medications, and any special care requirements. I pay close attention to details and adapt my care to each pet’s needs, whether they require extra patience, a quieter environment, or more frequent check-ins. I prioritize gentle handling, patience, and positive reinforcement at all times, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident knowing their pet is in responsible and caring hands.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I grew up with my own dog and have also helped family and friends with walking, feeding, and daily care. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pups feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m available on weekends Thursday-Saturday, needing only a one day heads up to plan. Perfect for pet parents that need pet care on the weekends! I always treat pets and homes with the same respect I would my own. In your home, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow your instructions carefully and provide dependable, trustworthy care so you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: I’ve always had family pets, and Kaiser has been with me now for 10 years. I love meeting new animals, and I’ve never been intimidated by size or behavior, they are all friends to me! I like sitting with pets and giving them good cuddles and scratches when they warm up to me. Besides all that, I am highly reliable and available to communicate at all times. Right now I am working fully from home, and I make my own hours so I can organize my day around your pet’s needs. I can guarantee walks for dogs at least twice a day, certainly more as needed. My rented space does not have yard access, so boarding would be fully indoors between walks. I also have two cats and a dog, and while they all get along famously, if you’re uncertain how well your pet would share the space with mine, we can try a test meeting, or else I’m happy to do drop-in visits at your home.

“We had a wonderful experience boarding our puppy with Ayush. From the start, communication was excellent, and we felt completely at ease leaving our puppy in his care. He provided regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our puppy came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that Ayush genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and treated our puppy like part of the family. We especially appreciated our puppy having new friends to play with (Ayush’s dogs). We would absolutely book with Ayush again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy person to board with.”
“My furbaby was comfortable with Keirstin. He spent a day with her before his 3 nights of boarding. He was quite excited to see her again to start his boarding for which I was pleased to see. While we were away, Keirstin sent us photos and updates and she was very responsive when I asked questions about his settling in her home. Thank you Keirstin.”

About: I grew up surrounded by all dogs from family members, neighbors, etc. And have also had the privilege to take care of cats come college. I work well with dogs that need some extra excercise or cats that have a little less than friendly attitude. Whatever specifics you need, I'm sure I can accommodate! I currently work as a contracted employee in Manhatten so I have an extremely flexible schedule! I am able to be fully transparent about my schedule up to a week in advanced, so please don't hesitate to reach out! I have a fenced yard, as well as ample walking space around my home, as well parks! I am also able to meet you wherever you need, whether in the city or out away from it!

“Pratik is one of the best care takers I’ve ever experienced through Rover and I could not recommend him enough - the way he truly cared for my corgi Koda and made him feel so at home meant the world to me. I will absolutely be reaching out to Pratik again and I will recommend him to everyone! Your pup will be in perfect hands!! 🥰”

“This is the second time we’ve left Chester with Saldin and again he had the best time with her and her family. Saldin took such good care of him, sent regular updates, took him to the dog park regularly and even to the groomer. She is very reliable, always picking up and dropping off on time, and quickly responding to messages. We’re very fond of Saldin and highly recommend her services.”
“This was our second time booking with Dale (but with an extra dog!) and it was a phenomenal experience. Both of our dogs are completely bonded to Dale and the photos and videos that Dale sent sure prove it. We joke that they get a vacation every time we get a vacation with all the fun they have with Dale and Ziggy. Thank you again Dale for the exceptional care for our pups, we so appreciate it.”
“Jenny was great with our dig, Riley. She asked lots of smart questions to be sure Riley was getting the best care and staying on his routine. She sent photos and was very accommodating when out flight delay resulted in a later than expected pick up. I highly recommend Jenny and will certainly call on her again.”
“Natalia is a great dog sitter. My dog JoJo had great time in her family. She and her husband took good care of my dog. I am grateful to them!”
