“It was the first time that I had Grace take care of my cat. She is very patient and friendly. She sent me daily photos and texts in the morning which made me feel safe while I was away. I would definitely recommend and book again with Grace! :p”
“Cooper has stayed with Nicole twice so far and the second time I bought him to her house, he ran inside. She seems to be very attentive and is incredibly responsive. We’ll definitely be staying here again! Thank you for the awesome experience for my dogs first boarding.”
“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”
“Emily was great with Evie! Very responsive and also made sure we were comfortable with everything. Even though our dog is very skittish around other dogs, she made sure her own dogs stayed at a family member's home during Evie's stay. We will likely use her again in the future if we have to go on any other away trips. Sent a lot of pictures each day to update us. Also, Evie's stay was during the forest fires in Canada so the air quality was bad outside. However, Emily made sure that her air filters were on so we never had to worry about her or Evie. 5/5 stars!”
“Ilona was wonderful with Princess. Princess had a seizure which she hasn’t had in months and Ilona was so warm, caring and comforting to Princess. It really put my family and I at ease since we were not there. Ilona provided frequent updates and made Princess’s stay a very comfortable one. We highly recommend Ilona! Thank you so much for taking great care of Princess, Ilona!!!”
“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.”
“Naomi was amazing with my pup Oreo! She took great care of him and kept me updated with photos and videos. I could tell he was happy, loved, and super comfortable. Communication was great. Highly recommend!”
“Iliana was a great host for our 11 year old mini schnauzer. He was there 6 days. She was responsive and sent us pictures of him taking walks and chillaxing in her apt. Would highly recommend her and we look forward to dropping Ace off again when we need a dog sitter”
“Denis was the absolute perfect sitter for Mowgli! I was very nervous to be leaving him with strangers for the first time while on vacation for a whole week, as he’s typically a very anxious cat. But Denis was super communicative throughout the entire process and really put my mind at ease. He sent texts and photo updates every day and made sure to check in about how Momo was doing. If you are looking for someone who specifically understands and appreciates cat temperaments and needs, I highly recommend Denis! I think Mowgli had a better vacation than I did. I will certainly be booking with him again for any future cat sitting needs!”
“My three babies spent time with Giselle and looked so happy in all the videos she sent during their stay. She was attentive to my babies special needs, understanding each individual personality and worked to make them comfortable in her home with success. My Honey can be a nervous Nellie but she was so calm with Giselle. I’m so grateful I found someone I can trust with my babies and will definitely enlist her services again in the future.”
“We picked up our large malamute Junie and she was the calmest we had seen her, clearly very happy. Communication with Anton was very easy and he sent several pictures throughout the stay. Will book again!”
“Bridget was absolutely amazing with my fur baby. We were on a business trip and my pup was having a hard time adjusting to the hotel and a new environment. Bridget was able to give him a comfortable place to stay for a couple of days, and he felt right at home. I would highly recommend Bridget. She was a life saver during my trip to the city.”
“Anthony and Sofiya were absolutely amazing with our dog, Brunson! We went away for the weekend and were a little nervous since he’s never stayed with anyone else before, especially as a puppy but they completely put us at ease. They sent us video updates the whole time, and it was so clear that Brunson was getting so much love, attention, and care. It meant everything to know he was in such good hands. Thank you so much, Sofiya and Anthony we’re so grateful!”
“My pug Charlie had another wonderful time with Abbie and Peachy. Charlie feels really safe with Abbie even though she is a little anxious and Peachy is a great friend that helps Charlie to stay active and socialized especially in this cold weather. Outstanding hosts!”
“Alanis and Marco were amazing with our dog Jolly. They took great care of him and sent us daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’ll definitely be booking with them again and highly recommend them!”
“I had a fantastic experience with this dog boarding provider! From the moment I dropped my pup off, I felt completely at ease. William was kind, patient, and clearly passionate about animals. He provided regular updates, photos, and videos, which truly gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would book him again.”
“Jialarie treated our kitties like they were her own and sent us pictures of them each day along with frequent updates. Would definitely recommend her services”
“This is the second time I left Sherlock with Lilyana. She was incredibly supportive and caring towards him. She consistently shared updates about him and was proactive in communicating with me.”

“Hemei did a great job taking care of our cat. She did everything we asked and was very communicative. We felt very comfortable being away with our cat in her care and would definitely book her again.”
“Hired Leona for the first time this weekend. She was a wonderful choice. She documented each visit thoroughly with pictures, messages and observations. Although there was a mishap and my cat lashed out, Leona handled the situation like a true professional. She was in communication with me with every visit. She understands pets and understands respect and boundaries. I would love to hire her again in the future, as long as she wants to watch my baby of course!!! Highly recommend Leona. Thank you again!!!”
About: I was born into a family of animal lovers and have spent my entire life surrounded by fur babies. Because I grew up in a home with more cats than dogs, I developed a deep, natural intuition for feline behavior. I understand that every cat is an individual.. some need high energy playtime, while others just want a quiet presence to feel safe. I am experienced in everything from the zoomies and deep-cleaning litter boxes to the gentle patience required for shy or senior cats. Whether it’s keeping them on their feeding schedule or providing the perfect chin scratches, I treat every cat like they are my own family.
“Lucy is the best! Snuggles with Sunny and always sends pictures. I’m so happy that I finally found someone who genuinely loves dropping in on my cat, who doesn’t leave my AC on or eats my food like family does! Lol”

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.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Throggs Neck
“Veronica was extremely responsive and professional. She loves dogs and gave our pup constant attention and affection. We were updated with pics and Veronica used the app to inform us of our dogs potty breaks etc so we could plan our pups routine upon his return. I would highly recommend Veronica and I will use her services again.”
“Emily was phenomenal with Chloe !! She made me feel so comfortable with leaving her and sent me photos throughout the day. Overall wonderful experience!! Can’t wait to book 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”
“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 was so worried to leave my 9 week old puppy with someone so soon, but Elijah reassured me that my puppy would be in good hands. Drop off and pick up were seamless and I received photos throughout the day. 10/10 definitely recommend!”
“They are very responsive and prompt with both pick up and drop off. Despite my dog being quite anxious, they handle him very well and he seems to like them a lot. I recommend using them as dog sitters.”
“Denys was absolutely exceptional. She took Luna in on a last minute request and was amazing. Luna came home happy and ready for bed each day. Denys did an amazing job, and I will be using her again for sure!”
“Glory was great with my dog, super friendly, on time, very communicative & adhered to all requests. Will definitely book again in the future & highly recommend to anyone else in the area in need of a sitter.”
“It was my first time leaving blue in doggy daycare And he looks very happy. Looks like he’s been taken care of and he had a good time over there from the pictures that I see. I had a little hesitation, but I can see that there was no reason for me to hesitate. I will definitely keep using her for all my dog sitting needs.”
“I truly recommend Dan. This is my first time using Rover and naturally wanting the best for my dog, I wanted to make sure she’d be good, and Dan made sure of that. She always checked in with me, provided me updates of Daisy through pictures and videos, and always responds when she can.”
About: I have over a decade of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. As a current multi-pet owner with a mini poodle and a rescue cat, I am an expert at managing a happy, harmonious home and catering to different personality types. What sets my care apart is the activity level and location. I live just 20 feet from one park and a 5-minute walk from another, making outdoor time effortless. My schedule is built around your pet's needs: when I'm home, they get 3-4 walks a day, they are guaranteed three solid walks with plenty of park time. My home is a true 'pet paradise'—fully stocked with a massive variety of dog and cat toys to suit any play style, from high-energy fetch to interactive puzzle games. I also treat your pets like my own by exclusively serving ZeroWater filtered water for premium hydration. I am highly observant, deeply responsible, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, active, and loved. My weekly routine is highly structured to guarantee your pet gets plenty of regular exercise and potty breaks. Since I work from home every day, I am able to take dogs out for four walks a day (morning, lunch break, evening, and right before bed). I am always home for overnight boarding, and my weekends are fully open for even more playtime and park visits! Because I am a pet owner myself with a dog and a cat, my home is fully set up for animal safety. My environment is supervised, and I am particularly careful about keeping curious pets away from indoor plants or other hazards. I provide a calm, structured space where your pet can relax while I work from my home office. I also believe in total transparency and will send you frequent photo and video updates so you can see your pet enjoying their time, whether we're playing fetch at the park or lounging at home. To ensure every guest feels at home, I provide multiple dog beds in various sizes throughout the apartment. This allows each dog to have their own dedicated space to retreat to and relax, which is especially helpful for pups who might be a little timid at first!
“Melanie is super kind and friendly! I was in desperate need of meeting a sitter ASAP and thankfully enough Melanie came through to the rescue! Aria loved her stay, Melanie was sending updates, pictures and videos messages every 5-10 minutes! I plan to bring our little pup back to Mel soon!”
“I am so glad I find sue on Rover. She is great with my dog. She will keep update on the condition of my dog and send me pictures. On top of that, she is very flexible with scheduling. I had issue of not able to pick up my dog on time and she is very accommodating. Will book her again. Thanks sue!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 2 years, I also do dog walking. I treats dogs like my own, I have a 3 year old male Pomeranian/King Charles spaniel dog. I’ve trained him to be able to be free at the park and being able to come back to me without running away. He knows not to eat food from the floor. He’s a very obedient dog, I make sure the dogs that I board feel comfortable with me and my dog, I like to walk them at least 3 times a day and for long period of time, I have a park near by where I like to take them to sniff around and run around in the dog park. I also give them treats when at home, dogs are allowed to be on the bed, I provide access to water 24/7. I’m working full time, as I am a stay at home mom of a 4 month old baby. I’m able to play with the dogs, and walk them outside 3-4 times a day. I have a 3 years old male Pomeranian/ King Charles spaniel dog, 20 pounds he's very anxious at first but warms up perfectly fine after. I live in an apartment, I don’t keep my dog in a crate but he’s crate trained. I’m able to keep your dog in crate if you prefer. I don’t provide crates, if I see my dog is very anxious with the dog I’m boarding to keep both dogs safe I will leave my dog with my mom. Other than that I usually don’t have any problems with dogs being on the bed etc.. My dog doesn’t isn’t aggressive, he’s just anxious when meeting new dogs. But he likes to have company since he’s by myself. I have my living room free with plenty of space for them play around, I recently moved into a new apartment so I dont have any furniture in the living room.
“Ana was incredibly sweet with our Boston Terrier puppy who experienced his first time away from us with her. She sent lots of pictures and gave frequent updates. Highly recommended!”

“Hemei has been great with my dog Kiara! She walks her a 3-4 times a week and is very responsive, professional, and communicative. She is very flexible with her schedule which is amazing since my week to week work schedule sometime varies. Hemei made the extra trek for a meet and greet before starting so that I could rest assured that my dog would be comfortable with her. She is reliable and a true dog lover and you know she will look after your fur baby as her own. Highly recommend her!”

“Leona is so super amazing! And Shadow gets really excited Every time he sees her, which makes my heart feel really warm. She plays with him and give him structure, which as a puppy he really needs. She always makes sure the walk is 30 minutes (and sometimes more!), but he always comes back super happy to have been on a walk with her. We are very grateful for her. ❤️ And we totally recommend!”
“Deshauna walked and gave meds for our Yorkie, Champy. Deshauna accommodated our request for a meet-and-greet prior to walking him for the first time, which was important to explain the medication. During the walk, she arrived on time and was attentive to Champy's needs, and gave medication. Sent pictures and updates. I highly recommend!”

Since I was little I have taken care of dogs, my friends or family have always given me their trust to walk them and bathe them. It would be at the client's house, because where I live, I'm not allowed to have animals inside the house. What else can be done about it?
“Adrian was awesome! I’m so lucky to have found him and on such short notice. My Fable is really friendly but very shy around new people, but Adrian made me feel comfortable leaving her in his care for a daily walks. He communicated when he was going to walk her and when he was done. He even sent photos so I could see that she was out and about. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”

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.
About: I’ve spent plenty of time taking care of pets since I was a kid. I’ve had regular clients whom I’ve stayed at their house, and some who would regularly drop their dogs off at my home in Texas. I also owned 3 dogs of my own and have taken care of up to 10 dogs at once! I am currently and actor and student at Long Island University, Brooklyn. I am available to work every day of the week, though Tuesday and Thursday’s I do have a slightly packed schedule. I offer services at my clients home. I am very capable of keeping close eyes on dogs and cats and well capable of caging them if needed.

“Lal, Matt & Hank were great! My doggy boys stayed with them for a week while we were travelling out of state and they looked like they were having a nice little doggy vacation themselves with their new found friends. Lal would keep us updated with how our boys were doing by also posting pictures and videos along with the texts and e-mails. Lal really took the time to get to know the boys well specially during their meet and greet. Plus the fact that their LabraDoodle, Hank got along very well with the boys made me really feel at ease. I would definitely pick them again for our upcoming travels. So happy to know that my doggy boys were in good hands while we were away. Highly recommended.”
