“We needed a last minute Siiter for our dog Lexi and Tiana came through for us! I will recommend her and we will continue booking her to take care of Lexi! ❤️”
“Jenn took such good care of my dog Nellie. She sent a lot of pictures, and it was clear that Nellie was very comfortable with her. Nellie can be a little particular about eating her food and going out on cold walks now that she’s in her senior years, but Jenn was very patient and understanding about all of that. It was also clear that Jenn read all the care information I provided. Would definitely trust Jenn to take care of Nellie again!”
“Alexandra was amazing. She was super responsive, easy to arrange pick up and drop off, and sent us lots of photos! When I pick my dog up from a sitter, it’s pretty easy to tell whether she had a good experience or not, and after picking her up she was relaxed and happy, it was clear that she was really well cared for. We will absolutely use Alexandra again!”
“Ahmet was such a fantastic sitter! Loved getting pics and videos of my girl - knowing she was living her best life: being taken to the dog park, plays in the snow, and long walks! Will definitely re-book. Thanks Ahmet!!”
“Jessica has watched my fur baby Lambo several times for me... And her and her husband are so amazing that they deserve a second review from me! Recently I had a death in the family so I needed a dog sitter to start later that evening for 4 days. Jessica responded to my booking request so quickly and even offered to pick up my dog that same evening which was so tremendously helpful. My Lambo is very attached to me and usually does not like being away from me but he loves going to Jessica's house. He is so well taken care of there and he loves to play with their dog. I would recommend Jessica to anyone who is looking for a caring, loving and overall amazing dog sitter.”
“Kecia is fantastic! She is kind and attentive to Olly so I always feel like he is in good hands. I also appreciate how communicative she is. My flight home was delayed so i needed to have a friend pick up Olly and Kecia was flexible in handing him off. I was super stressed at first but she went above and beyond to help us!”
“Siera (and her mom) took great care of Billie. She was very responsive and made me feel comfortable while she was there. I would have her watch Billie again.”
“David and his wife were FANTASTIC! They treated my dog Tati with love and care. She has horrible separation anxiety so we are selective with who we trust but we would definitely hire them again. They sent regular updates and were really responsive. I’m happy to have found a reliable sitter in Bushwick and would highly recommend!”
“Our dog Tessie loved staying with Nina! Nina was super responsive to my booking request and was great at communicating at all stages of the process. Tessie had a great stay with Nina, and it was really comforting to know she was in good hands.”
“It’s always great to book onboarding with Renzo. I can tell from Mango’s reaction when I drop him off and when I pick him up that he had a blast. I will definitely keep coming back. Highly recommend!”
“Wai and her family were so caring, responsive, and kind. They sent so many cute photos and took him on many adventures around the neighborhood. I highly recommend her family as sitters for your pet and wouldn’t think twice about booking again!”
About: As a dedicated solo pet sitter, I bring a special touch to your pet's care by drawing on my firsthand experience as a loving owner of both dogs and cats. This unique perspective allows me to understand and anticipate the specific needs and nuances of different furry personalities. Your pets won't just receive professional care; they'll benefit from the genuine affection and empathy that comes from a fellow pet enthusiast. With a home filled with my own four-legged friends, I recognize the importance of a comfortable and familiar environment, ensuring your pets feel right at home while you're away. Choose a pet sitter who not only understands but shares the same passion for pets as you do! I am available to care for a pet on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday anytime after 6 PM. I WFH on Monday and Friday so on either of those days, as well as Sundays, I could care for a pet the whole day! I am definitely willing to do overnight stays so reach out if interested! I live in a pet-friendly apartment building but do not currently have any pets of my own. In my apartment, your pets will receive top-notch care. I've pet-proofed and removed any potential hazards and I plan to prioritize the needs of the animal, whether daily exercise or socialization!
“The communication was great during the entire stay and I was sent pictures of my dog daily. It was a great experience and will definitely book again.”
“The absolute best sitters - thank you both for always caring for Nalu like your own and always taking the time to truly understand and accept her LOL”
“This is the second time my pups have stayed with Diarmuid. I feel at peace knowing that they are in a safe place and being cared for when I’m away. Diarmuid is very responsive and was willing and able to accommodate one of my pets unexpected medical needs. I hope to use Diarmuid again in the future.”
“Jessica went above and beyond to care for our puppy when we couldn't keep him with us. Our pup loved being with her, and Jessica was professional, kind, and readily available whenever we had questions. I highly recommend Jessica!”
“Astrid was amazing with Rocky! This was my first time using a dog watcher and she made the whole experience stress-free from the start. She took him on last minute, sent tons of updates and pictures, and genuinely treated him like her own. Rocky looked so happy and comfortable the entire time. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Zoe was amazing! She updated me every day during her drop-in visits and my cat loved her! She was so helpful in giving peace of mind to traveling during the holidays and was very responsive. The photos she took with my cat were also a real treat for us to look at each day. Would recommend in a heartbeat!”
“I booked Kevin for a few drop in visits with my cat while I was away. He was a great communicator, had an easy schedule to work with, and gave detailed and timely updates on his visits. He took note of all my cat’s favorite activities and toys and made sure to send me some great videos and pictures. Overall it was a great experience and will definitely book him again!”

“Kira was so great with Rue! Kira was responsive and thorough throughout the process and even showed me the ropes as a new user on rover. Would recommend and book again!”
About: Call me Beverly! I've been told I'm somewhat of a cat whisperer. I genuinely treat every cat I meet like my own. I have a spoiled little guy at home (as all cats should be!), so I know exactly what it means to love a pet properly. I'm also super Type A when it comes to cleanliness, so your space will be left exactly as I found it (or better!). Your cat is in good hands!
“Miranda did drop in visits with our cat Olive and was absolutely wonderful! She was super responsive/communicative, took lots of time to play with Olive, and sent cute pictures. We definitely plan to book with Miranda for future trips.”
“Charlie was amazing! I was away for ten days and was so worried about leaving my cat. But Charlie was incredibly communicative from start to finish, very easy to work with, and my cat absolutely loved him. I absolutely recommend Charlie and will 100% book with him again.”
“Diana was great with my cats Russell and Atticus! Excellent communication every step of the way. Very nice. Loving to the boys during her visits and sent lots of pics. Grateful.”

“Valeriia was amazing and took such great care of Poof while I was gone for the weekend. She was very communicative and sent pictures each time she visited which gave me such peace of mind. Would definitely book her again!”
“Katerina pre, during, and post cat sitting was incredible. Super responsive and took time to have a phone call and also to come over in person prior to sitting. During my time away - Katerina was excellent at communicating when she would be arriving, updates on lil Ed and sent so many images. Truly kept my mind at ease that the prince of the house was taken care of. Already planning future travel plans where rebooking with Katerina will be a no brainer. Thank you for taking such good care of the sweet boy 🖤”

About: I grew up with bully breeds. For the last 6 years, I have fostered dogs of all breeds and sizes, and have experience with elderly, sick, and nervous puppers! I am currently in my final year of medical school, applying to residency. Outside of this, my schedule is wide open, so I have all day to play and walk your pups! I am a fit individual with confidence in dog handling. I will keep your dogs leashed at all times on walks and follow any instructions you provide to a T! No breed or size intimidates me.

She was phenomenal and I didn’t have to worry about pebbles comfort ability or safety once throughout the day. she also knows that pebble is a high energy dog and walked her the appropriate amount of time even in this cold out of control!!!.”

My dog came home happy after spending the day with him, and I’ll definitely be coming back!”

He walked them three times over a couple of days while I was stuck at home on crutches, and my normally nervous-in-new-situations dogs immediately warmed to him.

About: I've grown up with family dogs and pets. I currently have a golden doodle named Moose. I love to be active and I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds! I am an elementary teacher and finish my day around 4pm. I understand how stressful it is to leave your fur babies at home while you are stuck at work. I would love to alleviate some of your stresses by giving your pet love, exercise, and attention! It also helps me destress after a long day. I love to go on long walks, specifically in green spaces. I will treat your pet as if they are my own and give them the time and attention they deserve. I will keep you updated throughout the service and send lots of pictures.
“I'm always pleased that Charlie is happy to see Nelson show up- that's the best signal a dog mom can hope for. We've used Nelson several times and he's always communicative and thoughtful. He's the first person we reach out to on Rover. We will definitely use him again!”
“Mae took excellent care of our golden retriever! I really appreciated the photos she sent. She is friendly and was very responsive even with short notice. I could tell our pup loved her. I will contact her again the next time we need care.”
“Eleni has been super responsive and even helped me figure out how to use the app! She’s patient, communicative, and has been so good with my dog Poppy. I look forward to working with her again!”
“So happy we found Michael. My dog Charlie is dog reactive, has stranger danger, and pulls on the lead, which is not easily managed living in East Village. Not only did Michael greet her in the appropriate way for a dog with stranger danger, but she has warmed up to him very quickly. During their walks which she absolutely loves, he works/trains to help desensitize and redirect her when other dogs come. If you have a dog with special behaviors that requires a more experienced dog handler, then I would highly recommend Micheal. In addition he can also take care of our cats when we are away, and can also give medications which is a huge bonus.”
“Victoria is a nice and caring rover. She’s reliable, on time, and clearly loves dogs—Bunny comes back happy and relaxed after every walk. I appreciate her attention to detail and the thoughtful updates she sends. Highly recommend her if you want someone you can trust with your pup.”
“Valeriia helped me out at the last minute and did an amazing job with my pup! I appreciated the details and photos she provided. I will definitely ask her to help in the future!”
“Layla came every evening for 10 nights to take our pup out for walks while I recovered from surgery. She was punctual, reliable and friendly with our reluctant, nervous dog. She got Rosie to look forward to seeing her and was so patient and sweet with Rosie. We’d absolutely book Layla again, Rosie will look forward to seeing her friend! Highly recommend”

About: I have had cats as pets most of my life. I have volunteered as a dog walker for BARC and ACC shelters in NYC for several years. I will meet your dog and/or cat wherever he or she needs me to, with nothing but patience, love and respect. I would love a chance to get to know your fur baby (or babies) and help out in any way you need. I currently work full time from home. My mornings are free up until about 2pm. So should you need to board your dog or cat I can provide attention and care throughout the entire day. I live in a pet friendly building, and am across the street from a park, perfect for dog walks and/or play. Please Note the Following: For Boarding: I can only board one dog at a time, or two cats. For Sitting: I wfh, so as long as there is internet access, I can stay at your place 24/7 if preferred. I currently do not have any pets, so your cat or dog will be the only pet in my home, should you prefer that. I do not have a yard, but I live in a one bedroom spacious apartment, very close to a large park.

I felt incredibly rest assured and comfortable that Max was being well taken care of while I was away. Yinuo was so great at following all instructions and care details. I’d love to book with her again!”
