“This was the first time being away from our dog and Nicole did a great job at making him and my family feel at ease! She regularly kept me updated with messages and pictures and took very good care of him. Will definitely use her again!”
“Sabrina was so attentive and caring. She took amazing care of my puppy. He just had a surgery and I didn’t have to worry about him at all during my trip. Thanks again”
“Iliana was great! She was very responsive and sent many updates and pictures throughout the day. She was loving and attentive to my baby Bailey and I will be using her again in the future. I highly recommend her.”
“Excellent, Great, Amazing !!! This is first time I used boarding for my fur baby. And my experience with Jialarie was AWESOME. Daily updates and pictures, which I love will be using her again soon.”
“Julia was terrific! She and Bailey hit it off right away. Got a bunch of pics with Bailey out for a walk, playing with toys and a restful night sleep. Will use Julia again!”
“Best ever. She was very understanding about my delayed traveling and babysat my dog for an extra 12 hours free of charge! Shes very sweet, caring, and I could tell my dog was very happy after a 3 night stay. Highly recommend”
“Valentina was amazing with Bentley! She was so sweet, communicative, and clearly gave him so much love and attention. She sent me updates 1–2 times a day with lots of pictures, and Bentley always looked so happy and comfortable. She made him feel right at home, gave him plenty of outside and play time, and even sent him home with a little stuffed animal gift! 🥹 Her son Ezekiel was also such a sweet little helper. I’m so happy I found Valentina and would absolutely trust her with Bentley again. Highly recommend her!”
“Athena took amazing care of my dogs, Matty and Max, during their 5-night stay with her. She treated them as if they were her own, followed all of my instructions perfectly, and truly went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and happy. She kept me updated throughout their stay with pictures and thoughtful notes, which gave me so much peace of mind. This was my first time leaving my dogs with a sitter, so I was naturally a little nervous, but Athena completely exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Athena to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter. I will absolutely be using her services again in the future!”
“William and his family have been amazing. I received updates and pictures every day I was away from my pitty and will absolutely be sending her back in the future. Thanks again William!”
“We had great communication with Shirley throughout the entire process. We did a meet and greet before the stay, and she asked thoughtful questions beforehand to really get to know our dog. During the stay, she shared lots of photos and videos, which we truly appreciated. She was also very flexible and accommodating when we had to change our plans due to the snowstorm. Highly recommend!”
“Anny is an absolute gem. She watched our Maltese, Lila, and she is extremely loving and caring. She doesn’t even have her own animals, yet her home is set up like a five-star resort for any pet who walks through her door. Gorgeous beds, little houses, toys everywhere, treats ready to go. If a dog or cat could design their dream home, it would look exactly like Anny’s. We’ve used many pet sitters over the years, but Anny is in a different league entirely. Lila actually hesitated to come home, which tells you everything you need to know. If you want your pet loved, spoiled, and treated like family, Anny is the one.”
“Wendy took excellent care of my dog. She tailored her care depending on his individual needs. Jasper was calm and happy when I picked him up. What a great experience. Thank you.”
“Orly had a great time with Kris and his family! She was able to go for walks, get exercise, and enjoy playing in the snow. We hope for her to be able to return in the future!”
“Our dog had a great stay with Noelle over the holidays. She clearly has an excellent way with dogs because our slightly nervous pooch seemed to feel at home right away, even with other dogs in the house (which she was not used to). We received regular updates with photos from Noelle and we felt very reassured that our dog was in very good hands. We would recommend Noelle!”
“I’m a first time Rover user and Omar went above and beyond to make everything super easy. I had to head out of town kind of last minute and needed boarding for my Pitbull Border Collie mix, Sage. We met up beforehand so he could meet her and I could meet him, and I really can’t say enough good things. Omar made me feel at ease right away and was great with Sage. She was instantly comfortable around him. When I dropped her off she didn’t even look back at me, which honestly says it all. He sent daily updates with pictures and videos, and was always on time for drop off and pickup. Definitely a 10/10 experience. I’ll absolutely be booking with Omar again. 🐐”
“Jada was excellent taking care of my dog Coco. She kept sending me photos, Even though Coco made a mess on her bed, I’m so sorry about that, Jada. But if I go away again, I would definitely leave my dog Coco with Jada again. Thank you so much for everything!”
“I had such a wonderful experience with my first-time dog sitter Kiara! 🐾❤️ I immediately knew she was the one I wanted to care for my twin boys, and she did an amazing job taking care of them for 5 days. I would usually text her to check in, and she was always quick to respond with updates and photos of the boys. It was so reassuring to know they were in good hands. The twins seemed to really like her and gradually became comfortable with her, which made me so happy! I would absolutely rebook with her again, if she’ll have us back! 😊 Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my fur babies. I truly appreciate you, and I’m sending a little tip as a token of my appreciation. Highly recommend! ❤️🐶”
“Naomi was amazing! She was so communicative, comforting, and kind. She was ON TOP of things in every single way. I needed a sitter last minute about a week out from my family vacation. I was scrambling to find someone on rover and Naomi was available and excited to watch Genevieve! On top of that, Genny had a rough grooming appt a few days before dropoff, and got a corneal ulcer in which she would have to take eye drops and pain meds. Naomi without question agreed to helping administer them and make her comfortable. You can imagine how worried I was as a dog mom, leaving her with someone new and with a medical issue! Naomi made me feel so at peace leaving Genny with her. She's truly created a doggy haven at her place, with full range for them to hang out inside and out. I am so thankful I found her when I did, and that Genny had such a wonderful time! She was whining when we picked her up, she didn't want to leave! I would recommend Naomi many times over and would give her more than 5 stars if I could!”

“Lori was absolutely incredible!!!! She went above and beyond for our kitties and was very proactive and communicative throughout. She really saved us I cannot recommend enough!”
“Kathryn was wonderful with my kittens while I was away on vacation! She was so friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with from the very beginning, which immediately made me feel comfortable leaving them in her care. I especially appreciated how much time she spent with them during each visit. She didn’t just come by to feed them and leave—she actually spent time playing with them, giving them attention, and making sure they were taken care of. It made being away from them so much easier knowing they were getting plenty of love and weren't just being left alone. Kathryn sent me lots of adorable pictures, which I looked forward to getting every day! She followed all of the instructions I left and was very attentive to everything the kittens needed. It was clear from the way she interacted with them that she truly loves animals and cares about the pets she watches. I would absolutely have Kathryn watch my kittens again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter. Knowing that they were with someone who was giving them genuine attention and affection gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’m so happy we found her!”
About: I’ve been a cat parent for 10+ years now and have worked professionally as a cat sitter in the Chelsea/Downtown area. I have extensive knowledge as a parent and hope to provide an enriching experience for them. 🐾
About: I became a pet owner in 2021 for sort of selfish reasons. It takes a lot to admit to it. I got my tabby cat a year into the pandemic because I thought an ESA would liven my life. Aside from understand the daily responsibilities of play , food and hygiene that extend out to taking care of a cat I’ve had to manage my cats Athma and be creative with finding proper care and adjusting meals. He’s been able to loose 3 pounds under my care and stay active but also polite to the other family members in my hosue as I teach them how to understand his boundaries and play(first cat child syndrome ). I also have one rescue names Athena, I found her in Puerto Rico and successfully changed my dad’s mind that he needed to buy a Cane Corso… for his first dog. Thank you Athena. It’s also given me the chance to interact with cats with high demands and stay in control while allowing them the freedom to play but not overtake a. Home.
“Jennifer did a great job with my two senior kitties who, while social, are not used to being taken care of by strangers. My shyer cat immediately took a liking to her, and I came home to two calm cats simply happy to see me -- no cat-grudges to be had. Jennifer was quick with communication, and reached out to let me know when my dry-food auto feeders were being wonky, even though I told her she didn't have to worry about the dry food. Overall, a great experience!”
About: I just spent the summer catsitting for a friend of mine; her cat was extremely skittish and aggressive! I've grown up with cats all my life and understand their unique behaviors. Whether it's a cat who wants to play or sleep all day, I'm happy to accommodate them so they feel relaxed, at home and cared for.
“thank you so much shalyse for taking care of our bunny for the week! we were over the moon with how communicative you were at all times and how diligent you were in your care for her. jhenelle and i really appreciate your service and look forward to working with you again in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m Amae — a lifelong animal lover who truly grew up surrounded by pets. I was raised with a sweet pit bull and two cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural (and happy) part of my life. I also have experience helping my mom with babysitting and pet care through the app, so I understand the importance of trust, communication, and consistency when caring for someone else’s fur babies. I’m currently a responsible college student who loves being around animals in my free time. Right now, I’m also a bunny mom, so I’m used to routines, gentle handling, and giving lots of love and attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I know how special pets are, and I’d be happy to help care for yours 🐶🐱🐰✨ Pet care is already a built-in part of my daily routine. Every day, I make time to feed and play with my cat, as well as care for my bunny. That means fresh food and water, enrichment time, cleaning their spaces, and making sure they’re both getting attention and affection. I really value creating a calm, consistent routine for animals, so checking in on them throughout the day has just become second nature to me. In other people’s homes, I respect house rules, keep things tidy, and maintain clear communication so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s checking collars and leashes before walks, monitoring playtime, or making sure they have fresh water. I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention I give my own.
“Madison is an amazing dog sitter. She takes great care of my pets. She has great response time and is always updating and communicating. I highly recommend Madison and will be using her again in the future.”
About: Hi my name is Brandon. I was raised in New York and have owned a few dogs over the years. I have about 12 years of experience walking and sitting for different breeds of dogs including stubborn bulldogs, hyper huskies, large golden retrievers, etc. I'm available all days, mostly afternoons and nights. I'll walk in any weather conditions, whether it's snowing, raining or scorching hot. I will be sure to care for your dog and they are my own because I know how much they mean to you. I can run and play with your dog or I can take it easy. I will make sure to log and report any physical and behavioral changes I observe while on a walk or while pet sitting.
“Ana did a great job taking care of our kitties, even though they are super shy and hid most of the time. She went above and beyond looking for them and making sure they were safe! Absolutely will ask for her help again in the future.”

I'm currently volunteering part time at the Animal Shelter and walk dogs part time. My schedule is pretty flexible and can help out whenever needed. I provide a warm, loving, calm and peaceful environment in my home. There are no pets living in my home which is helpful for pets whenever they come in my home.

About: We’re Justin and Esther—animal lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Justin has had pets his whole life, starting with a sweet cat named China, who had a litter of kittens he raised until their passing. Today, we care for Lunae Lux, our energetic Siberian Husky, and Fayth, Justin’s affectionate cat. For Esther, being surrounded by animals was always a dream—and marrying Justin made it a reality. It’s allowed her to bond deeply with both Lunae and Fayth, fulfilling her lifelong wish to share her days with furry companions. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or training, we’re passionate about giving every pet the care and love they deserve. Animals are the first and most important priority of the day, afternoon and night. They are like children in that aspect, or fur children as people say. My cat and dog get along very well.

About: Hi! I’m [Your Name], a passionate dog lover and dedicated pet care professional. With years of hands-on experience walking and caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I treat every pup like they’re my own. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long adventure walk, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to make sure your furry friend is happy, healthy, and safe. Reliability, communication, and genuine care are at the heart of everything I do. Let me give your dog the love and exercise they deserve — tails will wag, I promise! On an average I run 4-6 miles daily. As a digital artist who works from home I tend to find myself with a lot of energy left and lots of times I would rather spend with animals and being active at that. As a husky owner and a dog that needs lots of attention and walks, my dog is my best friend. He runs with me a lot, and I care for my dog as well as my other pets very attentive, extremely nurturing (it’s a habit), and with so much play time.

“I had a Rover account set up years ago but was always hesitant about booking. This weekend I had an event and my entire family was going so I had to get Charlie my Shih Tzu someone to care for him. Wow I struck gold, Anny truly is such a caring and loving person and my dog who is attached to my hip so easily took to her. From the moment we met her, it was clear how attentive she is with dogs. She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures of all their adventures and messages which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my event. By the end of the night it appeared as if Charlie was on his own vacation. Charlie is very hesitant with new people and when Annie sent me a picture of Charlie sleeping on her lap I could tell he was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for yesterday. Thank you Anny for taking such good care of my baby boy 🥰 I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and genuinely passionate about animals. We will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️ 🐶”

“Highly recommend Dean! His communication style is professional & caring. He eased all my anxiety as it was difficult leaving my new puppy in someone’s care. He gives updates, is prompt, and even helped my pup socialize with trusted dogs. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter! I’ll be booking again.”
“This was a perfect match. Lily connected with Veronica and her husband right away. Veronica has a calm , warm and pleasant personality. I immediately felt comfortable leaving Lily at her home and in her care. I met her two fur babies and saw how sweet and loving they are. This was an excellent day for Lily because she was able to enjoy Veronica’s backyard and front porch while being off her leash. Thank you”
“Julia was so great with nori! She sent lots of pictures and communication was quick, easy and efficient. I felt so safe leaving her with Julia at her house and they spent a lot of time outside.”
“The sitter was great. Even willing to groom my dog and trim her nails. The only mix up was the drop-off location which took me twenty minutes out of the way otherwise I'd give five stars.”

“I left my labradoodle, Ramona, with Valentina and her 4-year-old son for few hours, and honestly, she had the best time. From the start, Ramona felt completely at home — she got tons of love, playtime, and cuddles. Valentina was amazing and kept me updated with sweet pictures and little messages, which really put my mind at ease. Her son was the perfect little playmate, full of energy but so gentle and caring with Ramona. They played, ran around, and Ramona clearly loved all the extra attention. When I picked her up, she was happy, calm, and probably would’ve stayed even longer if she could! I highly recommend Valentina and her sweet son if you need someone loving and trustworthy to watch your dog. 5/5 paws from Ramona! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾”
“I was very nervous about leaving my 11 year old havanese since he had only stayed with relatives. Phinny liked Kris right away, and Kris was sensitive to working with an anxious pup. Furthermore, all communication has been prompt and easy. We will definitely be using Kris for longer visits now!”

“Ari is AMAZING! Ari comes 3 days a week to walk Ella (my dog) mid morning. Upon meeting Ella he was so curious about her personality and needs, showing that he really cares for her! Ari always comes on time to walk Ella and leaves her with fresh water, and treats. He even tucks her into her blanket to make her feel comforted when he leaves since she has separation anxiety. Ari has gone above and beyond for Ella and I multiple times, he even helped me when I locked myself out of my apartment since he holds a spare key! Ari is very communicative and always updates me with photos of Ella when they are together. Ari is the BEST!”

About: I’m a loving, patient, and attentive pet sitter with experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra care. I’ve cared for a 3 month-old Husky for two weeks, handling everything from feeding and bathing to training, playtime, and daily care. I’ve also traveled out of state to care for three dogs and a cat, including an 18 year-old senior dog with a detailed medication and supplement schedule. What sets me apart is that I truly pay attention to the little things. I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s normal routine, so I carefully follow feeding instructions, diets, walking schedules, medications, and any other special requests. Most importantly, I make sure pets get plenty of love, cuddles, attention, and companionship while their owners are away. I’ll care for your pets with the same patience, responsibility, and love I would want someone to give my own. I currently work part-time about 3–4 days a week, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care.

I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, supplements, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I also keep their environment clean, refresh their food and water as needed, and pay close attention to any changes in their behavior or needs. For pets who require extra care, such as puppies or senior pets, I’m comfortable following more detailed routines and providing additional patience and attention. Most importantly, I respect my clients’ homes and aim to keep their pet’s routine as normal as possible so they can feel relaxed and cared for until their family returns.

I’m currently working part time, and I am able to comfortably arrange my schedule to fit your pets’ needs! While I do not board, I am regularly available to stay overnight to house/pet sit! I understand how important it is to build trust between pet owners and sitters as well as between the pets themselves and their sitters! I am detail oriented and will check with you to make sure I understand your pet and their needs, and I love to send updates and photos to check in with owners!
About: I am a highly skilled pet caregiver based in the Bronx with extensive experience in managing the care of dogs and cats in the city and the boroughs. I have successfully handled anxious and high-energy pets, as well as animals with complex dietary needs and challenging leash behaviors. I am more than capable of caring for pets with detailed care instructions. When entrusted with your pet, you can expect frequent and detailed photo and text updates to keep you informed on how your fur baby is doing. I guarantee to keep your pet entertained and engaged in your absence, ensuring a worry-free experience for you. Your pet will receive the same level of care and attention as if they were my own! I work part-time in the entertainment industry, so I have a very flexible schedule. I update my Rover calendar weekly. For the time being, I can only accept bookings accessible by NYC public transportation, including Metro-North and NJ Transit. I have been vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19. I am happy to wear a mask when interacting with humans in your home if requested - I may also mask for my safety. For dogs' safety, I do not take dogs to dog parks, take them off-leash, or simultaneously walk dogs from different households unless I am extremely familiar with the dogs' behavior and the activity is approved by the owners.

“Yris was great with our Molly. She kept me updated on walks and arrivals. I never had a doubt that Molly was being cared for and definitely felt she was treated as if she was Yris' own. So grateful to have found a kind, trustworthy and reliable caregiver for my pup.”
About: Because I’m currently on sabbatical, I’m home much more than the average sitter. This allows me to offer consistent companionship, careful supervision, and plenty of one-on-one time. I’m especially skilled at providing a calm, low-stress environment where pets can feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely loved. I’m also very attentive to routines. I take cues from each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort, and I’m excellent at reading subtle body language—something I’ve learned from years of fostering and caring for more sensitive or shy cats. I use positive, gentle reinforcement and always prioritize your pet’s emotional well-being. Additionally, I’m a great communicator. I provide regular photo updates, respond quickly throughout the day, and make sure you always feel at ease while you’re away. My goal isn’t just to “watch” your pet—it’s to create a nurturing, cozy, and safe experience that feels like a second home. I’m currently on sabbatical after completing 10 years with my company, which means I have a wonderfully flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet my full attention. Caring for animals is something that genuinely brings me joy, so it fits naturally into my daily rhythm. I love starting my mornings with a peaceful walk through the large park near my apartment, and I often take a second mid-day walk to stay active. If your pet loves exploring or needs extra exercise, they’re more than welcome to join me! I also have a car, so I’m able to transport pets safely if they need to visit a vet, try a different park, or simply enjoy a change of scenery. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to provide consistent companionship, playtime, and supervision. I’m intentional about creating a calm, cozy environment and making sure each pet feels included in my everyday routine. I provide a warm, calm, and nurturing home where pets can feel safe and loved. I live in a cozy 1-bedroom apartment with a pet-friendly setup—cats are welcome on all furniture, and I have scratchers, toys, and comfy lounging spots throughout the space. My balcony is fully netted for safety, and I’m only a short walk from a large park, which is perfect for fresh air and enrichment. I currently have one sweet 12-year-old cat who is gentle and used to having other animals around. I’ve cared for her since she was 3 months old, and I also have experience fostering animals—including caring for kittens as young as 4 weeks old—so I’m very comfortable with cats of all ages and personalities. My care style is very warm and hands-on: lots of snuggles, couch time, play sessions, and following the routines that make your pet feel at home. I’m attentive to their body language and habits and always prioritize their comfort and emotional well-being. Safety is a top priority. I keep doors secure, monitor interactions carefully, and have an apartment camera that allows me to check in on pets if I step out briefly. I maintain a clean, clutter-free environment and am mindful about introductions and transitions. For trust and communication, I send regular photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy and relaxed. I’m very responsive throughout the day—my only downtime is between 10pm–7am, but otherwise you can expect quick replies. My goal is to create a loving, stable, and safe home where your pet feels truly cared for. If you have any specific routines, accommodations, or preferences, I’m more than happy to follow them closely.
About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of pets—dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, reptiles, and more! From walking and feeding to bathing and overnight sitting, I’ve been the trusted go-to for family, friends, and neighbors. I truly believe animals bring a special kind of peace, and in return, I give them all the love, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands while you’re away, so you can relax knowing they’re well cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week, including weekends. I make sure each pet receives consistent care, playtime, exercise, and companionship while following their normal routine as closely as possible. I approach caring for pets with love, patience, and a deep understanding of their individual needs. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a comfortable and stress-free environment. I make sure to stick to their usual routines—feeding, walking, and playtime—so they feel secure and at ease. If I’m in your home, I ensure everything remains as you left it, with added attention to your pet’s safety and well-being. In my home, I provide a cozy, safe space where your pet will get plenty of affection and care. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re with family, wherever they are.

“This was the first time being away from our dog and Nicole did a great job at making him and my family feel at ease! She regularly kept me updated with messages and pictures and took very good care of him. Will definitely use her again!”
“Excellent, Great, Amazing !!! This is first time I used boarding for my fur baby. And my experience with Jialarie was AWESOME. Daily updates and pictures, which I love will be using her again soon.”
“Julia was terrific! She and Bailey hit it off right away. Got a bunch of pics with Bailey out for a walk, playing with toys and a restful night sleep. Will use Julia again!”
“Best ever. She was very understanding about my delayed traveling and babysat my dog for an extra 12 hours free of charge! Shes very sweet, caring, and I could tell my dog was very happy after a 3 night stay. Highly recommend”
“Athena took amazing care of my dogs, Matty and Max, during their 5-night stay with her. She treated them as if they were her own, followed all of my instructions perfectly, and truly went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and happy. She kept me updated throughout their stay with pictures and thoughtful notes, which gave me so much peace of mind. This was my first time leaving my dogs with a sitter, so I was naturally a little nervous, but Athena completely exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Athena to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter. I will absolutely be using her services again in the future!”
“William and his family have been amazing. I received updates and pictures every day I was away from my pitty and will absolutely be sending her back in the future. Thanks again William!”
“We had great communication with Shirley throughout the entire process. We did a meet and greet before the stay, and she asked thoughtful questions beforehand to really get to know our dog. During the stay, she shared lots of photos and videos, which we truly appreciated. She was also very flexible and accommodating when we had to change our plans due to the snowstorm. Highly recommend!”
“Wendy took excellent care of my dog. She tailored her care depending on his individual needs. Jasper was calm and happy when I picked him up. What a great experience. Thank you.”
“Orly had a great time with Kris and his family! She was able to go for walks, get exercise, and enjoy playing in the snow. We hope for her to be able to return in the future!”
“Our dog had a great stay with Noelle over the holidays. She clearly has an excellent way with dogs because our slightly nervous pooch seemed to feel at home right away, even with other dogs in the house (which she was not used to). We received regular updates with photos from Noelle and we felt very reassured that our dog was in very good hands. We would recommend Noelle!”
“I’m a first time Rover user and Omar went above and beyond to make everything super easy. I had to head out of town kind of last minute and needed boarding for my Pitbull Border Collie mix, Sage. We met up beforehand so he could meet her and I could meet him, and I really can’t say enough good things. Omar made me feel at ease right away and was great with Sage. She was instantly comfortable around him. When I dropped her off she didn’t even look back at me, which honestly says it all. He sent daily updates with pictures and videos, and was always on time for drop off and pickup. Definitely a 10/10 experience. I’ll absolutely be booking with Omar again. 🐐”
“Jada was excellent taking care of my dog Coco. She kept sending me photos, Even though Coco made a mess on her bed, I’m so sorry about that, Jada. But if I go away again, I would definitely leave my dog Coco with Jada again. Thank you so much for everything!”
“I had such a wonderful experience with my first-time dog sitter Kiara! 🐾❤️ I immediately knew she was the one I wanted to care for my twin boys, and she did an amazing job taking care of them for 5 days. I would usually text her to check in, and she was always quick to respond with updates and photos of the boys. It was so reassuring to know they were in good hands. The twins seemed to really like her and gradually became comfortable with her, which made me so happy! I would absolutely rebook with her again, if she’ll have us back! 😊 Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my fur babies. I truly appreciate you, and I’m sending a little tip as a token of my appreciation. Highly recommend! ❤️🐶”
“Naomi was amazing! She was so communicative, comforting, and kind. She was ON TOP of things in every single way. I needed a sitter last minute about a week out from my family vacation. I was scrambling to find someone on rover and Naomi was available and excited to watch Genevieve! On top of that, Genny had a rough grooming appt a few days before dropoff, and got a corneal ulcer in which she would have to take eye drops and pain meds. Naomi without question agreed to helping administer them and make her comfortable. You can imagine how worried I was as a dog mom, leaving her with someone new and with a medical issue! Naomi made me feel so at peace leaving Genny with her. She's truly created a doggy haven at her place, with full range for them to hang out inside and out. I am so thankful I found her when I did, and that Genny had such a wonderful time! She was whining when we picked her up, she didn't want to leave! I would recommend Naomi many times over and would give her more than 5 stars if I could!”
“Alyona is very kind, understanding and had me at ease knowing that my boys was in her care. I received plenty of pictures and communicated with her while I was away and knew that tigger, prince and lucky would have a great time with Alyona. My boys do miss her and I will recommend and will book again. Thanks so much!”
“Anali is truly the best pet sitter that I could’ve found. I’m definitely returning to her if I ever need these services again. She sent me updates with photos on an hourly basis, he had so much fun with her. She spoiled him with so much love! So patient, kind and loving to him. He has separation anxiety and she dealt with it in such a patient way! He loved his time there. I loved receiving all the photos during his stay. They cuddled so much and had fun! Truly an amazing person. You can tell she loves what she does! Thank you for caring for my big boy Archie!!!! He loved it”
“Very grateful for Grace and her husband. They updated us on Arlo’s stay everyday and even several times a day which was greatly appreciated. Arlo seemed very happy and that was very important to us. We would definitely book again. Thanks guys!”
“Jocelyn took great care of our dog Maple while we were away for two weeks. She sent pictures and videos every day and Maple was always content and having fun. It was great to know Maple was in good hands!”
“Binta is great at communicating and taking care of all your pet’s needs. Leading up to my pets stay Binta was available for not only a meet and greet , but available for all my questions and concerns. This was my first time booking with not only Rover , but with a pet sitter . Leaving my puppy for 1 week scared me tremendously, but I was put at complete ease after communicating with Binta. She worked hard to stay on schedule with my pets walks and feeding times. She also kept him busy with park activities and socialization for my pup ! She kept me updated each day and was always available for communication! I would definitely rebook with Binta for future stays !”
“Eric was an amazing sitter to my baby, Ruby! I just recently moved to NY and had to find a sitter for a trip that had been planned before I moved here. I would have never gone on this trip had I not found Eric. Ruby was so happy around him and from all the pictures I received, I could tell she was having a great time with him. He helped her socialize with other dogs, which was very necessary since the place where we lived previously didn't have many dogs around, he took her to the park to play and on the rainy days, they just hung out at home and cuddled. Her favorite thing ever! He was very loving and kind toward her and I know she's made a friend for life. I will definitely be contacting Eric in the future when I need someone to watch my baby again. I highly recommend him.”
