“My pup can be very anxious and Nicolle went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of. It took so much stress off my vacation planning and will definitely book again:)”
“If “amazing dog sitter” could have an image for a definition it would be Maisha! I’ve left my baby with her many times now and I trust her very much with my fur baby. If you’re looking for someone or trying to switch to a new sitter, Maisha is your girl 🤍”
“Starry & Gio were very easy to communicate with (very responsive) and kept me updated on everything. They are great caretakers and my dog was very happy being with them. Thank you!”
“Merin was AMAZING!! I really felt Moose was being well taken care of and left me with such peace of mind while on vacation. She was super thorough, gave constant updates, and reached out with any questions/concerns. Hands down we found our go to sitter which is the best feeling knowing I have someone to trust to take care of Moose when I need a little R&R! Thank you!!”
“Amazing experience with Mimi’s dog sitter! They were caring, reliable, and kept us updated the whole time. Mimi was happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing service! They were flexible and very good with communication throughout the stay. Loved getting pictures of my dog playing and having fun with theirs!”
“We were traveling and needed someone to take care of our dog because our friend had an emergency. She picked up our dog and took very good care of him. I was surprised to find someone so reliable so close to my house. I will definitely leave my pet in her care whenever I need to in the future ❤️🥹”
“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!!”
“Ayush was very attentive and sweet! My dog absolutely loved being with him and was comfortable from the first moment they met. Would definitely rebook and recommend!”
“Rue had such a great time with Grace! Everything went smooth and Rue felt right at home. Got plenty of cute updates while we were away, would absolutely leave her with Grace again!”
“Michael is simply the greatest dog boarder in the history of the world. When you book through Michael, though, you don't just get him, you also get his amazing wife, too. Michael took care of my dog Lucas during a medical emergency. I was at work at the hospital after midnight. We were terribly low-staffed. There was no one to take over my patients. If I'd left work, I probably would have lost my license and been fired for abandonment. Michael took my dog to an emergency 24 hour vet and didn't get back home until like 2 in the morning. The care he took of my dog went above and beyond. He is awesome, he is amazing, he is smart and capable and caring, I cannot say enough good things about him. You can trust your fur babies with Michael. With him and his wife, they are in amazing hands. It's always scary entrusting your canine children to a stranger, but with Michael you realize that he's not a stranger, he's the family member you didn't know you had. Thank you Michael!!!”
“Deibi and Tiffany took wonderful care of my two dogs over a long weekend. I received detailed updates, photos, and videos everyday. Tiffany was super responsive and she’s so kind! My dogs didn’t want to leave!!!”
“Thank you so much Eduardo for taking care of Mayo! We left Mayo with Eduardo several times, and mayo was always happy to stay with Eduardo. He didn’t even want to leave when we came to pick Mayo up. Again, thank you so much!”
“Ivette was an awesome sitter for Zumba, she was also very accommodating with the drop-off and pick-up times. She sent messages as well as pics of Zumba. My fur baby was tired and happy from all the playtime and walks. I would 100% recommend her to anyone that wants a great friend to your pet while you're away. I look forward to contacting her again when we need a sitter. Thank you Ivette!”
“Paige took such great care of our pups, Trooper and Leia! She sent regular updates and they came back healthy, happy, and clean. She even sent them home with a toy that they enjoyed while staying with her. We recommend Paige to any pet parent!”

About: Cats have always been an important part of my life, and I currently share my home with two Maine Coon cats. This strong bond came 9 years ago when I first adopted my cat Peanut. Caring for them has given me firsthand experience with everything from daily feeding and grooming to understanding feline behavior, body language, and individual personalities. I know that every cat is different—some love attention and playtime, while others prefer a quieter environment and affection on their own terms. I'm experienced in maintaining routines, keeping litter boxes clean, providing enrichment and interactive play, and creating a calm, stress-free atmosphere where cats feel safe and comfortable. My experience with Maine Coons has also made me familiar with the grooming needs of long-haired breeds, including brushing, coat maintenance, and monitoring for mats. Whether your cat is social and outgoing or shy and independent, I'll provide patient, attentive care tailored to their needs while keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. 🐱💕
“Monica has been such an amazing sitter for puddy. She sent frequent updates, gave him lots it love and attention and just made me feel totally stress free knowing that she was there to take care of puddy. I can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life! I’m currently a cat mom to a young cat named Pinto but I’ve had older cats as well in the past Absolutely love them and have experience caring for them and sitting!
“Melissa is absolutely wonderful! This is my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She made sure to send me photos, videos, and updates each visit, and I felt incredibly comfortable with her in my home! You can tell she truly cares and interacts with your pet. Absolutely recommend, and will use her in the future to watch my little guy!”
About: Hi! My name is Hallie, and I’m a certified animal lover. I grew up with some wonderful dogs and have been a proud cat mom for the last 10 years. I also worked as a dog walker/pet sitter for about six years at a reputable dog walking company in NYC. My time as a professional animal caretaker left me with a wealth of experience with cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes, ages, temperaments, and abilities, so whatever your animal’s unique needs are, I am prepared to provide them with the personalized love and care they deserve. Please let me know a little bit about your cat and their personality, what kind of interactions they enjoy, and any medical or dietary needs. Along with feeding and litter box cleanings I can provide playtime, cuddles, or just some friendly company. If you need a sitter, l’ll stay with your cat in their home and keep their routine on its regular schedule, with the same meal-times and play-times as you normally give them. I understand how important your fluffy family members are to you and will happily provide you with as much communication, including details and pictures, as you like. Hope to connect with you and your pet soon!
“Delphi was excellent with Buster! She is always very responsive, and we can tell from her updates that she is very attentive to his needs. This was our longest trip without him, and it was very reassuring that Delphi was there taking care of him every day. We would have her back taking care of him again any time she is available!”
About: Hello! I have always loved being around cats. Taking care of them have always give me joy and have been taking care of cats over these past 2 and half years. I understand how important it is to feel at ease while you are away. I pay close attention and follow any care instructions you have. I am committed to keep your cat safe and clean. I would be happy to send any updates.
“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!”
“Kaitlin watched our cat while we were out of town for the holiday. She was extremely responsive to messages and took great care of Grace. She sent lots of pictures and updates so we knew how Grace was doing. We would definitely recommend Kaitlin!”
“She was very communicative, and my cat was in good hands. She followed the instructions well, especially since my cat is diabetic. I received pictures while I was away and felt my baby was in good hands. Would use her again!”
“Susi is always a reliable sitter, even during the busiest periods of the year. She went above and beyond to fit my two cats into her already busy schedule. Susi was communicative throughout the sitting, followed all guidance and instructions, left my apartment tidy, and sent great holiday snaps of my cats enjoying Christmas without me 😢 fortunately they had Susi to celebrate with in my absence!!”
“Thank you for taking care of Layla during your drop-in visits over the last 3 days. I loved receiving the pictures and updates—it made being away from her much easier. Layla was clearly well cared for, and I’m very happy with Olivia's service! Would absolutely book again.”

“My dog now becomes friend with Vera’s dog! Even before the day care start date she has already asked many questions for my dog to make sure everything is ready. During the day care she constantly sends my update with photos and videos. I know my dog has a wonderful stay at her home with his dog friend!”
About: I love all dogs -- small, big, somewhere in the middle. They're silly, noble, riddled with quirks. Sometimes the city is a lot for them -- I get it. I have a big ol' gentle hound who is my whole world. I am a very active person and love getting to explore the neighborhood (that means with your dog too!). If my client already has a schedule they would prefer to adhere to, I will make sure to stick to it! I am versatile and flexible in ensuring that your pup/cat is well situated while they are under my care. I have baby proofed my house in the past for my own dogs and am very observant in taking precautionary measures to create a safe environment. Otherwise, I am comfortable with crating if that is preferred.
“Yutong was great with Latte! Sent plenty of updates throughout the day and it seemed like Latte had a great time with them! Will definitely book with Yutong again if needed!”
“Thanks for taking care of cheese yesterday. He is a bit of anxious dog, and I appreciate your patience to make him feel comfortable. I look forward to more sessions!”
About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My household includes a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, so I'm comfortable managing everything from giant breeds and high-energy dogs to independent, affectionate cats. Living with a Doberman has given me experience with intelligent, active dogs that thrive on structure, exercise, and attention. My Great Dane has taught me the unique needs of giant breeds, including gentle handling, patience, and awareness of their size and comfort. My two Maine Coons have helped me develop an understanding of feline behavior, grooming needs, and creating a calm, enriching environment for cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I have the space and resources to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐕🐈 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, my days are already structured around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I work with a flexible schedule that allows me to be present throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, supervised play, and check-ins. Pets in my care receive regular attention rather than being left alone for long periods. My large rooftop deck also provides a convenient space for supervised outdoor time and exercise between walks. I understand the importance of maintaining consistency, so I do my best to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding times, medication schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. Whether your pet is energetic and active or prefers a quieter environment, I can accommodate their individual needs and help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. 🐾 Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax, play, and feel at home while you're away. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized large dogs—a Doberman Pinscher and a Great Dane—who are accustomed to being around other animals. I carefully manage introductions and always prioritize each pet's comfort level to ensure a positive experience for everyone. One of the highlights of my home is a spacious 1,600-square-foot private rooftop deck, providing plenty of room for supervised outdoor time, fresh air, play, and exercise. Pets are never left unattended outdoors, and all activities are monitored to maintain a safe environment. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust involved in leaving your furry family member in someone else's care. I'll keep you updated with regular photos, videos, and messages so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. 🐾
About: I provide the ultimate combination of care, attention, and fun for your furry friend. I go on walks outside during the day, and my building has a convenient dog run in case it’s rainning. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages and energy . I did many training classes with a professional trainer in order to train my golden retriever. I am always around to ensure your dog is never lonely and gets all the attention they need. Your pup will be in a loving, safe, and active environment! I am home all day and able to provide constant attention to the dogs in my care. I take frequent breaks throughout the day for walks, ensuring the dogs get plenty of exercise and fresh air. In addition to our daily walks, the dog run in my building is a perfect spot for quick play sessions. My flexible schedule means I'm always around to meet your dog's needs! In my two-bedroom apartment, there is plenty of space for your dog to feel at home. With regular walks, access to the building’s dog run, and plenty of playtime, your dog will have a balanced mix of exercise and relaxation. I also have two friendly dogs, a two year old Golden Retriever, and another Golden Retriever whom I adopted in October 2025 (puppy). My 15 year old Shih Tzu crossed the rainbow bridge on 1/24/2026. He required multiple medications, so I am experienced in caring for senior dogs. Since I work from home, I am always present to provide attention and care throughout the day, ensuring your dog is never alone.
“Gabby was super awesome watching my dog for the day! Normally my puppy is shy and sad when I have to leave for work, but Gabby and her dogs made my puppy feel like part of the family! When my puppy came home she was very tired because I knew she had so much fun with Gabby! Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! My name is Ashley and I am originally from Los Angeles. I grew up with three dogs who taught me how to be patient and loving. I have also spent a good amount of time dog-sitting and boarding different dogs. This has given me the experience I need in order to provide the best service for you and your dog. I am reliable and I would treat your dogs like part of my family. I work from home full time so I can easily fit a dog into my weekly routine. I am always conscious of letting dogs out frequently and taking them on longer walks before/after work. I live in an apartment and I do not have a fenced yard. However, I live close to multiple parks and would take your dog on walks a few times a day. Your dog is allowed on my furniture if they are potty trained. I usually allow dogs to sleep with me if they want to!
“Eduardo is the best. It was a first time experience of staying away for our puppy and looks like he had a blast. Eduardo was very particular in following his schedule and really took care of him so well. We will be going to him again for boarding.”
“Very happy to have found Zoe (and her husband) on Rover to take care of Noodle. From the very beginning, Zoe was professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about caring for dogs. Zoe was responsive to all the questions and concerns prior to the booking. She kept me updated with messages and photos during day care. It was clear that Noodle was well cared for and loved during his stay. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Paige was very communicative and accommodating! We had a non-traditional request - just a quick in-home “daycare” for an evening - and Paige was very flexible and understanding.”
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.
“They provided the best care for my pup. It was my first time leaving him with a sitter and I was nervous but they comforted me the whole time he was there and send many photos and videos. Very grateful and will definitely rebook!”
“We LOVE Jonathan. Not everyone is equipped to take care of a two month old puppy, but he so was! Jonathan kept our same feeding routine, had a backyard for Theo to go out in, he has a dog tent in his house! Just a place for the dogs to be!! His dog was a great playmate for Theo, and we really enjoyed our experience. Thanks for the videos, Theo can’t wait to come back!!”
“I’ve rebooked daycare with Aashika many times as Buddy enjoys daycare with her and is happy to see her. I appreciate Aashika’s updates and summary of Buddy’s time, and highly recommend her as a sitter.”

“Kobi is great! My dog has been transitioning to a new space and he has had a lot of anxiety. Kobi entered my apartment and sat down and waited for Henry to become comfortable! I really appreciated that and will continue to use her just for that small gesture. Thanks Kobi!”
“Sydney has been an excellent dog walker for Tucker! She is reliable, communicative, and always makes sure he gets the exercise and attention he needs. Tucker is always excited to see her, and I feel completely at ease knowing he’s in great hands. Highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring walker!”

About: Hi! My name is Hallie, and I’m a certified animal lover. I grew up with some wonderful dogs and have been a proud cat mom for the last 10 years. I also worked as a dog walker/pet sitter for about six years at a reputable dog walking company in NYC. My time as a professional animal caretaker left me with a wealth of experience with cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes, ages, temperaments, and abilities, so whatever your animal’s unique needs are, I am prepared to provide them with the personalized love and care they deserve. I understand how important your fluffy family members are to you and will happily provide you with as much communication, including details and pictures, as you like. Hope to connect with you and your pet soon! My schedule is very flexible! I make my own hours so I can easily work around your schedule. Weekdays, weekends, and evenings are all fair game. I’m available to stay with your pet in your home, so they can be totally comfortable and their routine, including meals, walks, and play sessions, can remain exactly the same as always.
“Gabriela and Maidely have been wonderful with our dog. They are extremely knowledgeable about caring for pets. They are also incredibly kind, trustworthy and professional. We always know our dog is in great hands under their care.”
“Alison was incredibly patient with my new rescue dog, Olive, who tends to need a bit of time to warm up to people. She took some time to give Olive some treats and get to know her prior to taking her out for the walk which was so appreciated! I am excited to have her take Olive on more walks.”
About: Hello! My name is Melissa. I am a lover of all animals and am hoping to add your furry family member to the list of pets that I’ve had the honor of meeting. I have grown up around cats and dogs my whole life and took this one step further by adopting my own kitty, Leo, after moving out of my parents house. He is basically my child and my philosophy with pet sitting is to provide the same care to your pet as I would for him. I have further experience with dogs as during college, I spent three years as a club member for a club that raised service dogs in training. My role in this club was being a sitter, meaning I would watch the pups (ranging from 10 weeks to 2 years old) while their raisers were away. I would spend this time practicing commands with them, walking them or taking them on playdates with other pups in the programs, or snuggle with them at my apartment. These times were some of my best memories of college. I also still help my parents when I go home to visit with my childhood dog, Charlotte. She is 15 years old, partially blind and deaf, and requires multiple oral medications daily as well as numerous potty breaks. I have additional oral/eye/ear medication experience as well as general medical knowledge through my day job as a pediatric nurse. Another cool fact is that during college, I briefly volunteered at a wild life refugee and got experience with horses, raccoons, deer, and other cool animals. Like I said- I’m a lover of all animals. I am hoping to offer my services as a way to be around more animals while respecting my cats’ wishes to not have another in the house. If you think I may be a good fit for taking care of your furry family member, please feel free to reach out. I would love to provide any additional details needed :) I will be working full time as a nurse but given that I only work 3 days a week I will have a lot of availability. The days I work do change each week but I will know in advance what days I will be working. I will do my best to earn an animal’s trust in a way that makes them comfortable, so that they feel safe in their own environment and trust me while I’m around. Whether that means an animal warms up to me right away or needs awhile along with some space before I come close to them, I can adapt to either scenario. I would also like to know about any general hiding places the animal may have when they get anxious so that if I am having trouble finding them, I know where to look. This would all be stuff I would like to communicate about with the owner ahead of time so I feel confident while sitting for their pet.
About: I have had a dog my entire life, and neighbors have relied on me to care for their animals while they are away for weeks. I work in mental health care & i am off on saturday’s and sunday’s & i am looking to make some extra money to assist with life expenses 💫 the weekends will be dedicated to your animals! I own a cat in my apartment in jersey city. i know how stressed animals parents can be when they leave their pets behind, so i will make sure they receive lots of love.
About: I’ve taken care of my own 3 Pomeranians and 1 cat for about 5 years now. Whatever services you require are probably tasks that I’ve experienced and would be comfortable doing. My dogs are my super spoiled best friends, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I am able and available just about everyday to walk or dog sit and can work it pretty easily around my schedule as needed or requested. I walk dogs, play with them, can give medicine as directed, feed them, and just hang out with them. I am kind, gentle, and will care for your dogs with the utmost patience and respect.
“We’ve had such a great experience. My dog loves her, communication is excellent, and she’s always flexible and willing to go the extra mile. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she walks.”

“Ayush was very attentive and sweet! My dog absolutely loved being with him and was comfortable from the first moment they met. Would definitely rebook and recommend!”
“Michael is simply the greatest dog boarder in the history of the world. When you book through Michael, though, you don't just get him, you also get his amazing wife, too. Michael took care of my dog Lucas during a medical emergency. I was at work at the hospital after midnight. We were terribly low-staffed. There was no one to take over my patients. If I'd left work, I probably would have lost my license and been fired for abandonment. Michael took my dog to an emergency 24 hour vet and didn't get back home until like 2 in the morning. The care he took of my dog went above and beyond. He is awesome, he is amazing, he is smart and capable and caring, I cannot say enough good things about him. You can trust your fur babies with Michael. With him and his wife, they are in amazing hands. It's always scary entrusting your canine children to a stranger, but with Michael you realize that he's not a stranger, he's the family member you didn't know you had. Thank you Michael!!!”
“Deibi and Tiffany took wonderful care of my two dogs over a long weekend. I received detailed updates, photos, and videos everyday. Tiffany was super responsive and she’s so kind! My dogs didn’t want to leave!!!”
“Thank you so much Eduardo for taking care of Mayo! We left Mayo with Eduardo several times, and mayo was always happy to stay with Eduardo. He didn’t even want to leave when we came to pick Mayo up. Again, thank you so much!”
“Ivette was an awesome sitter for Zumba, she was also very accommodating with the drop-off and pick-up times. She sent messages as well as pics of Zumba. My fur baby was tired and happy from all the playtime and walks. I would 100% recommend her to anyone that wants a great friend to your pet while you're away. I look forward to contacting her again when we need a sitter. Thank you Ivette!”
“Paige took such great care of our pups, Trooper and Leia! She sent regular updates and they came back healthy, happy, and clean. She even sent them home with a toy that they enjoyed while staying with her. We recommend Paige to any pet parent!”
“Natalia is so trustworthy. My 18 month old was right at home with her. She was so caring and loving towards Kiryu. I really appreciate her flexibility in accommodating last minute schedule changes. She took care of Kiryu like her own baby and even fed him chicken and rice after a bout of upset stomach. Definitely recommend Natalia!”
“Renzo took great care of my little Xina while I was away. This was the first time I left my dog for an extended period of time and Renzo made me feel at ease from the moment I dropped her off in his care. He sent tons of photos and videos daily and I knew my pup was sad to leave his care. I think she loved him more than me! I will definitely be using Renzo's services again.”
“Sal and Troy were great hosts for my dog. I liked the fact that they gave my dog a lot of exercise which he usually needs. I will definitely recommend them to any one who wants to feel comfortable when away about their dog.”
“Christina and Orlando are great. My dogs loved them. They provide many updates throughout the whole day. I had to traveled to Las Vegas for my daughter event and had no one to stay with my fur babies. I will definitely recommend them.”
“Hsin Yun & Phi were fantastic! They were super responsive and let me check out their place beforehand, which really put my mind at ease. Throughout the trip, they kept sending me updates and photos of my dog, which I really appreciated. When my flight got cancelled because of the government shutdown, they were incredibly flexible and understanding about keeping my dog longer. Honestly, their willingness to help during such a chaotic situation meant so much to me. My dog was clearly happy and well taken care of. Would definitely book with them again!”
“Nicole took great care of Jenny while I was gone for a few days. She sent me plenty of updates alongside pictures and videos that showed how happy Jenny was with her. Nicole also helped reinforce training that I’ve been working on and I very much appreciated that. Nicole was a great sitter and will definitely rebook when needed. Thank you Nicole!”
About: I'm a extremely nuturing individual and have had the immense pleasure of caring for pets kittens to seniors/puppies to seniors for over 25 years. I'm very hands on and i very meticulously make sure they are both comforted as well as comfortable. You will find no one more skilled in being your pets caregiver. I'm currently not working! So I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups/kittens! I'm available for boarding weekdays all day. And weekends after 3. I can take your pups to a dog park and play as I do not have a fenced yard. Also I have a play room for kitty.
“Cyndi & Paul are awesome! Took great care of my dog while she was boarding in their home. They sent me plenty of updates and pictures to make sure I knew how she was doing! Would absolutely recommend”
“Ekaterina took the best care of our dog, Charlie. She communicated with us daily, keeping us in touch with our Charlie’s day. Charlie looked so happy and comfortable which made us even happier and more comfortable. We’re grateful that we found someone who can give us peace of mind when we go away and have to leave Charlie behind. We will definitely look for Ekaterina again for any future stays.”
