“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.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Emily made it such a great experience. She took great care of Lolah from April 1–11 and sent photo updates that made me feel at ease while I was away. Lolah was clearly in good hands. I would definitely book with her again—highly recommend!”
“Iliana is caring, kind, and responsive. She's very accommodating with scheduling and logistics before boarding (doesn't mean you could abuse her kindness!). Main reason I chose her is that she has abundant experience taking care of dogs with separation anxiety and stays at home a lot of time. I'm so glad that my anxy baby could enjoy the company of her family and Iliana’s friendly puppy. My dog is a massive attention seeker and Iliana knows how to handle it well. Her puppy is also very well-behaved and could be separated by fence if your dog doesn't like hanging out with other doggies. Drop off and pick up were super smooth and she was quick with text responses all the time. Would highly recommend!”
“Grace and Wu were so kind and took care of our kitten. It was our first experience with leaving our pet but quickly our minds were put at ease. Grace and I were in daily communication. She let me know how our cat was adapting and sent several pictures a day. This really was a great experience and we will definitely use them again. Thank you Grace and Wu!”
“I left my elderly Little Lady with Anny during a family emergency and she was able to help out on such short notice. Anny bought snacks for Reina and kept her fed and very happy :) Anny let me know everyday how happy and secure Reina was. I knew she was with an amazing and loving family for the weekend. They even left me with the most beautiful Valentines day basket afterwards with a custom blanket and printed photos! Literally could not have asked for a better situation ❤️😊”
“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!”
“It was my first time leaving Cotton with a sitter after a couple of years so I was not sure if he will adjust to being in a foreign environment with strangers however after the first update and pictures I could see that Margarita is a friendly and caring sitter and he was at ease. I received frequent updates and pictures as details on how he was behaving. I will highly recommend Margarita & Christian when considering to leave your furry friend they will be in a safe environment and will be well taken care of. Communication from beginning to end was great and I will definitely use their service in the future.”
“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”
“Lio is truly a beloved member of our family and is adored by my three children. I am very selective about where I leave him and rarely trust anyone else to care for him. From the very beginning, both Sayarlin and her husband were incredibly kind, caring, and attentive with our "big boy", who think he is a Chihuahua. Whenever I called or had a question, they were always responsive and thoughtful, which gave me great peace of mind. One thing I especially appreciated is that they have access to an outdoor space in New York, allowing Lio to get fresh air and feel comfortable outside of the apartment setting. Their love for animals is obvious, and they treated Lio as if he were their own. I highly recommend their dog-sitting service to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet care.”
“Pamela has been a regular sitter for my Ruthie for over 5 years. My 13-year-old dog is always loved and taken care of when she’s with Pamela and I fully trust her. Would highly recommend especially if you have a small/older dog.”
“Sarah gave Dante an outstanding stay caring for him while we were away visiting family do 3 days. She sent plenty of photos and kept us updated several times a day on how he was doing. She took Dante on 2-3 walks a day and gave him plenty of opportunities to make new furry friends at Central Park. Highly recommend Sarah and hope we can work together again!”
“Naomi and Johnny took great care of our two dogs, Dexter and Bella. They were also very responsive when we were booking and during the period of time they were carrying for our dogs. Thank you!”
“It was such a pleasure to have Shirley watch our dog. He is a senior dog and requires additional attention. Shirley was amazing and keeping us up to date on how he was doing and he honestly was on vacation himself. He had so much fun!”
“Kessy is so sweet and went above and beyond to accommodate my pup on such short notice. She was very communicative and responsive during boarding, and I am looking forward to booking with her again. Thank you, Kessy!”
“Bridget was absolutely wonderful with my Shihpoo. He was exceedingly well taken care of for a multi-day stretch. I will continue to rely on Bridget!”
“Veronica is amazing! She took care of my dog like he was one of her own. I will 100% recommend going to her and I will be back. Milo had a blast and she updated me every day with pictures and videos. She did mini photo shoots with my dog that was super cute 🥰.”
“Ryan has watched our pup Boots a few times now, and every time we do drop off, it’s a treat to see just how excited Boots is. Ryan is attentive, considerate, and kind - exactly what you want in a sitter. Thank you Ryan!”
“Veronica was absolutely incredible! I left my dog at her house for boarding for four days, and she made me feel so comfortable. She clearly loved my dog so much, sent me so many pictures, kept me updated, and made sure I was stress free while I was away and kept my girl so so happy. I Highly recommend!!! Best pet sitter I have ever had by far”

“Excellent Cat Sitter, Not only were their needs taken care of. She went above and beyond and organized the place a bit. My cat is prone to allergies so this was really appreciated. You can really tell that her heart is in it and she takes care of them like they were her newborn child. Can't reccomend Alice enough”
“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!!!”
“Kamryn is a great sitter, she made us feel at ease. She provided daily updates and photos. She left our home the day way we left it. I will definitely book her in the future. My shy cats warmed up to her and so did we. We are grateful to finally find a great cat sitter.”
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.
“Hadley is amazing house sitting for our cats and the best communicator with us! Always send pictures and answers all questions promptly. We came home to 2 happy kitties. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my babies were in good hands”
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.

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.
“Joy did a great job checking in on my cat, Pierre. She followed all of my instructions for feeding and litter cleaning, and sent me pics of my little man each day and at each visit, I could tell he was excited to see her, made me happy to know he was in good hands. Thanks to her reliability, I came home to a very happy kitty!”
About: Hello! My name is Shanthi, I am an experienced 36 year old women with 10+ years experience in boarding and grooming pets. I enjoy spending time with different breeds and personalities and do my best to make your pet as comfortable as they can be while staying with me. I have experience with difficult dogs, puppies and seniors. I listen very carefully to direction and will make sure that your pet is not only loved and cared for but also entertained and exercised. There is a dog park across the street for those pets that love to be social and rump around with others. I have a very diverse yet specific set of skills, I've have K9 body language and cognitive behavioral studies and use these skills to benefit your pet.
About: I’ve cared for my best friend’s cat for about five years, doing regular one-hour visits and helping with feeding, litter care, and playtime. He was known for being pretty stubborn, but funny enough, he always seemed to form a special bond with me. I’ve spent time around my family members cats all the time whenever I’d go over to their house! Never had one for myself because at the time my mom claimed I had too many pets 😆. I also took in a stray kitten from the street and it had a bad eye with stuff in it and I took it to the vet and once it was all healed, as emotionally attached I was I had given to it someone who I knew loved cats and would take proper care of it!! 🥹 Call me cheesy but I think it’s because I’m very patient when it comes to animals and I let cats and animals of all sorts warm up to me naturally 🥹. I love that privilege god gave me:) I understand that every cat has a different personality. Some are affectionate and playful, while others are independent or shy. I move at the cat’s pace and pay attention to their body language, making sure they feel safe and comfortable during each visit. Whether that means playtime, quiet company, or just keeping their routine consistent, I focus on creating a calm and respectful environment.
“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.”

About: I've taken care of cats since I was about 5 years old. I always had cats as child and a few in my adult life. My precious Zeus (he was a Persian) passed away a few years ago and I have not found a good cat match for me as of yet. I enjoy cuddling and playing with them or just laying around watching a movie lol. Big on keeping cat litter box clean and having fresh food and water.

“Veronica is a great sitter. Trini was nervous when I left her there but when I picked her up she was so relaxed and happy. I can tell she had a great time there. Would definitely bring her back for more dates with Veronica and her beautiful dogs.”
“We needed a super last minute dog watcher and found Emily. She was accommodating and flexible as we were driving in from out of state, when we arrived she showed us her space and it was really clean with a nice enclosed backyard. She sent photos throughout the day and notes about our dog. Emily was great and we highly recommend her!!”
“Veronica was so wonderful with my boy and understanding of his anxiety and slowness to trust. She send lots of photos and updates during the day and was incredibly communicative. I will be using her frequently moving forward!”
“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!”
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 four walks a day, and even on my office days, 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 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I am able to take dogs out for four walks a day (morning, lunch break, evening, and right before bed). On Mondays and Thursdays when I go into the office, I still ensure they get three solid walks (a long morning walk, an evening walk, and one right before sleep). 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!

“Ever since Ace’s first stay, I haven’t trusted anyone else to watch him. He’s always so excited to see Athena, which gives me complete peace of mind knowing he’s happy and well cared for. Athena is truly amazing, she’s reliable, caring, and treats Ace like he’s one of her own. I couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
“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 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’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember! Growing up with many friends, family members, and neighbors that trusted me in caring for their dogs, I gained a lot of experience in interacting with dogs of any size and age. I have also done some volunteer work in shelters walking and checking-in on the animals (dogs and cats), including babysitting a newborn litter of puppies. I’m currently working part-time during the evenings and weekends in Manhattan for the summer, so I have most of my mornings free to play and get to know your pet during the week! In walking your pet and giving them their daily dose of exercise, I am easily adaptable to their personalities and needs! I am very gentle and patient with my pet at home and I am with every pet I’ve taken care of/will take care of. I can offer higher-energy dogs with more of a workout during our walk by adding in a jog or even taking them to a dog park their parent is comfortable with. I can also follow the pace of older/calmer/special-needs pups.

I've had hamsters, rabbits, dogs, cats, turtles, etc. Mostly cats and dogs. I am interested in animal caring because i want a puppy so bad, but will not be able to get one any time soon. My last dog Oreo, was a pit bull, and i had her for 13 years (her whole life). I live in an apartment and have a cat. I am home 80% of the time and i am always alone. The other 20% i am out running errands. I will like to enjoy the company of an energetic, playful, outgoing, silly and loving dog, cat, etc, who can make my day a bit brighter. I will love, cherish, and enjoy the company of your pet(s), as if they were my very own. Pet sitting is my primary focus, as I am home 80% of the day.

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, and they tend to trust me quickly. I’ve cared for many different pets over the years, including dogs, small animals, and birds. I successfully home-trained my rabbit and hand-trained and hand-tamed four parakeets, helping them feel comfortable and bonded with me within their first week at home. I’m very patient, calm, and attentive, which helps pets feel safe and relaxed in my care. I make sure all pets are fed on time, well cared for, and given plenty of love and attention. I also have experience caring for my godsister’s and cousins’ dogs, including a beagle and a dachshund. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly believe every pet deserves kindness, consistency, and genuine care. I have a rabbit named miffy, a parakeet named Beaky. I feed and water them everyday as well as charge the litter box of my rabbit as I trained him to learn to do his business in his litterbox. I also help my disabled neighbor walk their dog whenever nobody is home I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets in my home or a client’s (or neighbors) home. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I take time to build trust with every pet, allowing them to adjust at their own pace. I keep environments clean, calm, and secure, and I make sure pets are supervised, well-cared-for, and given plenty of attention and affection at all times.

I work full time during the week, but am available during the weekends to care for your pup. I am also available for long weekends and some holidays I have a friendly dog that can keep your pup company. I live across the street from a park so they will get plenty of exercise
“Shanthi was an excellent choice for a daily walk for my old dog. She was very sensitive to her needs and very flexible and punctual with time despite having snowstorms getting in the way of her trip to the house. I would definitely recommend Shanthi and look forward to using her again.”
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.
About: Hello! My name is Raymond T. I'm a part time student in college. The current field I'm studying in right now is computer science. Messing with computer hardware and coding a machine is a passion I always had as a kid. Other than that, I really love animals! Especially cats and dogs. I currently own 1 dog (Bichon Frise) and I give her the best of everything. Any other dog/cat I interact with, I treat them as a family member. I make sure they're groomed, properly eating, happy, feel comfortable, and making sure they're active. I've been taking care of cats and dogs for 10 years and can tell when they want something, not feeling right, hungry, and feeling sick. I make sure every pet I take care of get the utmost care and love they deserve.

“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.”
“Lio is truly a beloved member of our family and is adored by my three children. I am very selective about where I leave him and rarely trust anyone else to care for him. From the very beginning, both Sayarlin and her husband were incredibly kind, caring, and attentive with our "big boy", who think he is a Chihuahua. Whenever I called or had a question, they were always responsive and thoughtful, which gave me great peace of mind. One thing I especially appreciated is that they have access to an outdoor space in New York, allowing Lio to get fresh air and feel comfortable outside of the apartment setting. Their love for animals is obvious, and they treated Lio as if he were their own. I highly recommend their dog-sitting service to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet care.”
“Sarah gave Dante an outstanding stay caring for him while we were away visiting family do 3 days. She sent plenty of photos and kept us updated several times a day on how he was doing. She took Dante on 2-3 walks a day and gave him plenty of opportunities to make new furry friends at Central Park. Highly recommend Sarah and hope we can work together again!”

“Veronica was absolutely incredible! I left my dog at her house for boarding for four days, and she made me feel so comfortable. She clearly loved my dog so much, sent me so many pictures, kept me updated, and made sure I was stress free while I was away and kept my girl so so happy. I Highly recommend!!! Best pet sitter I have ever had by far”
“My dog Charlie does so well when I leave him with Eric, even though he usually has separation anxiety when I’ve left him with other sitters, he doesn’t with Eric. Which I really appreciate and calms any anxiety I would otherwise have about leaving my pup. Eric sends a lot of photos and videos, which is nice when you’re outta town. Your pup will be in great hands with Eric. I also love how much socializing With other dogs Charlie gets to have when I leave him with Eric. He’s a spoiled only child so it’s great for him to be with the pack once in awhile. Haha. Anyhow, Eric is awesome, so glad I found him here in Astoria! Thank you Eric.”

“Yusuf was amazing with Tonka! He sent us multiple daily updates and was always quick to communicate with us or to clarify if he had questions. He has a backyard which he allows the dogs to run around in and was looking after multiple dogs, so tonka had the time of his life playing. Above all Yusuf clearly cares about the dogs he is taking care of and Tonka has never been so comfortable staying in a new place. We wouldn't hesitate to ask Yusuf again!”
“I wasn’t able to connect with my usual dog sitter, so in an emergency, I reached out to Ethel for help. She was able to accommodate my dog, Blue, and they formed an immediate connection. I could tell he received a lot of care and both physical and mental stimulation, as evidenced by her very detailed updates. Blue had a blast, and I’m so excited we’ve found a great match with a wonderful person.”
