“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.”
“Omar took wonderful care of Pearl! Pearl required medicine and a special diet during her stay at Omar's and he was very accommodating. I so appreciated his attentiveness to her needs and his great communication with me during the sit. Thank you, Omar!”
“Essence is the best! I know my dogs are in great hands with her. She is always flexible with us, she sends us updates without us having to ask, my dogs are always happy when they leave her place. She is the best and I am so grateful for her. Xoxo thank you Essence.”
“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.”
“We are so appreciative of the wonderful care that Chialing provided our fur baby. It was a last minute booking and she was so accommodating. I really appreciate the fact that she says she will take the puppies for walks and provides photos and videos of them on their walk. She provides a clean, safe, roomy environment for the babies. Her and her partner Ali, who is also a Rover sitter work together and both are professional and friendly. I would definitely 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”
“Adela was a great dog sitter for Alfie while I was away on vacation, I never worried about him because I knew he was in good hands! She was also very flexible when my flight got canceled and I came home later than expected!”
“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!”
“This was my second time booking with her, and once again, she was amazing! She took such great care of my pet and gave me daily updates along with pictures, which I really appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pet was in such loving hands. She’s reliable, communicative, and truly cares. I’ll definitely be booking with her again—highly recommend!”
“Glory did a great job with Riley, who can be overly excited. She sent text and pics EVERYDAY for 5 days! I did pick up and drop off and she’s was very punctual! Knowing Riley, I asked if she would sit him again and she smiled and said yes! So she definitely will be hearing from me in the NEAR future. Riley and I both needed that! See ya soon Glory!”
“Wonderful people Dana and Seth were taking care of Kofa! They were both very communicative sending me pictures and updates through my trip! Also very accommodating, Kofa definitely had an incredible time while there.”
“Vivian is the best! My schedule can be difficult to work with and she’s always been flexible with me. My dog always drags me towards her apartment whenever we walk by, he LOVES going over her place. I would definitely recommend.”
About: Hi, I’m a dog Mom to Ruben and Teddy. I have a cozy home for dogs who love companionship, comfort, and plenty of attention. I offer a safe, peaceful space with room to relax, play, and enjoy daily walks. I have experience raising and crate-training Ruben from puppyhood and Teddy was adopted as a rescue. I understand the importance of routines, patience, consistent use of language and special treats to build trust with dogs. I work remotely, which allows me to provide supervision, personalized care, and a calm environment where dogs feel comfortable, and loved. It would be my joy to help be a part of your dog’s care team! I provide discounts to repeat customers and welcome working with you on pricing for extended stays and care for multiple dogs. My days usually include 2–3 walks: 10-15 min around my quite neighborhood block, playtime: fetch, belly rubs etc, potty breaks on a leash in the back yard and lots of opportunities for dogs to relax and chill independently or cuddle with me. When coming inside from walks, I wipe down their paws and faces with dog-safe wipes. I often play calming dog music and am happy to continue routines from home, including favorite treats, chews, or comfort items you send along. I keep routines as consistent as possible. I only care for a small number of dogs at a time (no more than four), which allows me to give each pup personalized care if needed. My home has plenty of space for dogs to relax and move around inside, and a semi-fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. For safety, I use leashes for all outdoor activities and always keep a close eye on the dogs in my care. I also have a crate and separate areas available if a dog needs quiet time, a break from the group, or their own comfortable space. I especially enjoy caring for small and medium-sized dogs who thrive in a relaxed home setting and would love having Ruben a and Teddy as a friendly companion during their stay.
“Priyanka truly went above and beyond to take care of my senior dog. She is the best caretaker I’ve ever had in Rover would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Katherine has been so amazing with my girl Melly the last couple of stays. I had to change Melly’s stay from daycare to boarding due to weather and Katherine was so accommodating. My pup usually isn’t fond of new people but she truly loves Katherine. Strongly recommend!”
“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!”
“Jocelyn was great- super communicative and flexible on pickup/drop off times. We got daily pix and videos. She kept our dog happy and he got plenty of exercise while he was in Jocelyn’s care. Would definitely book another stay for sure!”

About: I’ve had my two cats for about three years now, and we’ve built a routine together around feeding, playing, sleeping, and everything in between.

“Kristine helped me out in a bind, as I booked her last minute. She is reliable and ensures your fur baby is well taken care of. Meatball was a happy boy when I arrived home.”
“Jessica was amazing with my cat! She sent plenty of photos that reassured me for my first multi day trip away from my kitty. Every instruction was followed to a t and I felt secure knowing that my cat was in great hands. Thank you Jessica!”
“Laudianny was the perfect sitter for my most precious possession Ted! She provided daily updates and it seemed like he got comfortable quickly. Within a day he was making biscuits with her so i know he was well cared for!”
“Lili took care of our cat, Mishmish, while we were on vacation. She followed instructions to the T, and our elderly cat, who is usually pretty lethargic and not overly friendly, warmed up to her. We came back to clean litter box, swept floors, and our cat having fresh water and food. We will absolutely work with Lili again when we travel for extended period of time, and highly recommend her to any pet owner.”
“Noelle is SO SWEET with my cat, and incredibly communicative! She's great to work with (incredibly understanding of every weird little cat quirk, and owner quirks) and she respects the personality and interests of the pet.”
“Elisa was a wonderful sitter for our two kitties. I greatly appreciated the extra effort she took to work with us when our schedule changed due to bad weather. And I know Jack enjoyed getting a little play time!”
“Angelique was amazing with our two cats! She provided excellent updates with a lot of photos and she took time to make sure and spend time with each of them. She has a real connection to cats and you could tell right away at the meet and greet. We definitely recommend her and look forward to booking her again!”
About: I've had my dog his whole life (17 years) but I've actually been a caretaker for my entire life. I'm the eldest sibling, first grandchild, therefore the oldest of all of my cousins & I have babysat all of them (and their pets) through all stages of young life. I'm used to taking care of animals & kids. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter as a kid in Pennsylvania, and thus far there isn't a single animal that I've come to contact that I don't like! These days, I do a lot of pet & house sitting for my artist friends and family (ranging from just a walk a day to over a week of living with their pets.) I have experience with older animals with medical needs, and I've even taken over for friends who were pet sitting themselves but couldn't handle the difficulties of living in a small space with a large teething puppy. A couple of years ago (right before the pandemic) one of my favorite neighborhood cats brought my to her newborn kittens, and I took it upon myself to feed & house her & the babies until they were ready for adoption (and they're all safe and happy with their individual families). Even the mom eventually got spayed & adopted. I'm a freelance artist, so my schedule varies from week to week. At the moment, I have a lot of freedom, so I'm prepared to take on whatever service(s) are needed of me. I follow instructions very well & always leave homes cleaner than how I entered them. In the past, I've created lists on my phone with furbaby's routines & needs (medical details with images included as an added measure,) as well as sending pictures/videos to their owners while they're out.
“Fallon was a wonderful sitter. She took great care of our cat and sent us pictures of her while we were away. She was very considerate and communicative, from our initial conversations through the end of the booking. We would definitely ask her to sit for us again in a heartbeat.”
“Jen did amazing job with my 3 cats. One of them need medicine everyday and she showed up on time. Hung out with them and playing with them. Leave the house with no mess and everything done well. Thank you!”

I will always make sure your cat is very happy and comfortable when I am caring for them. If your cat is playful, a cuddle bug, loves being brushed, or just naps all day I am there to cater to their every need.
About: I’m a college student with two cute cats of my own, so I have daily hands-on experience taking care of them.

“Essence was wonderful. She sent me so many updates and gave me peace of mind that my dogs were in good caring hands. She walked them multiple times, took them to the park, and cuddled with them. I highly recommend this lovely pet sitter.”
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.

“Thanks so much for watching Mor! he was all tired out from playing with the other dogs - he was so easy at the end of the day. Katherine was able to accommodate my early schedule as well which was great”
“We had a great experience with Shaun for doggy day care! It was our first time our puppy was in day care but Shaun made sure we had frequent updates and pictures throughout the day. He also went out of his way to make sure he knew what training skills she knows and is working on, and showed her so much love. We will definitely reach out again next time, thank you Shaun!”

About: I’ve always loved animals as a child and young adult. I also grew up taking care of my family pet (a female Silky Terrier) who lived 14 beautiful years before her passing in 2018. Thanks to the pandemic, I've been able to hone in and build a loyal clientele where I offer pet sitting, walking and boarding experiences for both dogs and cats. I can help elevate any pet stress you may be experiencing. Located in the Bronx, but willing to travel. I require a 4 hour minimum notice ahead of requested service. I only book pets one at a time (or double if your pet has a sibling). This is for safety and undivided attention. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment where your pet can roam free with my discretion. Willing to also crate and adjust according to comfort. Let’s discuss!
“My wife and I were very thankful with Chialing as she took our baby Taco on a very short notice and took care of him wonderfully. She kept us posted of his activity and send us pictures through out the day. I highly recommend her services.”

“Jacob walked our two big kids Maggie & Milo for 6 days and put up with all their pulling and stubbornness. We could not have asked for a friendlier, more conscientious or patient person to deal with these two critters. I'm giving Jacob 5 stars and my strongest recommendation to anyone looking for an A+ walker.”

About: *We offer PICK UP and DROP OFF* My husband and I have grown up around animals and have lived with dogs and cats. We are cat- parents and understand the needs of pet parents.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life. I can’t remember many times when a dog was not around. I’ve been actively caring for pets since I was 11/12. I we had dogs and rabbits and fish and gerbils and birds. Our pets our our little bit of unconditional love. And in the end, my dog Juju was ill. I took care of him even when he couldn’t walk. From walk to doggie diapers and wee pads, to food and affection. Our pets are our hearts and their needs are important. All of them, including and most importantly love. My current dog, whom I’m boarding and hoping to adopt, wakes up and goes out immediately as he is still a puppy. While I get ready for work, he eats breakfast (he currently does 2 meals a day, trying to get his nutrition better), then he goes for a walk before I leave to teach class. Mid-day, he goes for another walk as he is still young and learning, in the evening after work or the gym, he gets dinner and a walk. He goes out at least 2 more times before bedtime. I have a grassy knoll convenient for quick walks. I live in an area that is both residential and close to shops. Lots of sidewalk and places to walk to. There’s even a park down the street, great for taking pets to go for a run. In my home, I keep things pets should not have locked away. And at another’s home, I follow the guidelines set by the dog parent.

He provided regular updates, photos, and videos, which truly gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would book him again.”
“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!”

“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!”

“I cannot express enough gratitude for Shaun's incredible care of my dog during a recent emergency. In a moment of panic, I reached out to Shaun, and he stepped in without hesitation, showcasing his genuine love for animals and his professionalism. Belle has been with Shaun before, and it was heartwarming to see how quickly she settled in. Their bond is undeniable; it was as if they were old friends reuniting. Belle absolutely loves spending time with Shaun, and knowing she was with someone she trusts made all the difference during a stressful time. Shaun went above and beyond to ensure Belle's comfort and happiness. He kept me updated with photos and messages, which eased my worries. His attentiveness to her needs, from playtime to meals, was exceptional, and it was evident that he truly cares about the pets he looks after. I highly recommend Shaun to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate dog caregiver. His dedication, kindness, and genuine love for animals make him an outstanding choice. Thank you, Shaun, for being there for Belle and for me when we needed it most! You are a true gem in the pet care community!”

“Yusuf is a life saver. I messaged him super late from the animal hospital about care the next morning and he was so responsive. He was able to watch my dog who just had surgery and was AMAZING. you can tell how much he loves dogs and there’s no one else I’d rather have watch my pup!”
“Joon & his wife are amazing! They took really good care of my puppy. Took him on long walk, played with him, showed him to give paw and even bathed him. He’s very attentive to messages and sent lots of pictures/videos”
“Imari was amazing! She accommodated a last-minute schedule change and took great care of my dog Pearl, even though it was their first time together. I loved all the photos and updates, and my baby got plenty of exercise. She came home happy and tired. I couldn’t ask for more! Highly recommend.”
“Euitae was the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. Euitae was responsive and so so attentive and caring for my senior guy, Jack, taking Jack for lots of walks and adventures in the park, and even a dog café where Jack got to make new friends. I’m so incredibly grateful for Euitae and 1000% recommend him as a sitter! I can’t wait to call Euitae again, Jack had an AMAZING time.”
