“Kecia is by far the best sitter I have worked with from Rover! She is super attentive and I left for my trip with not a doubt that my pups would be in good hands. She is exceptionally communicative and treated my pups with love and care. I will definitely book with her again!”
“First time booking on Rover. Elaine is very accommodating and I was able to book her on short notice. I have a six month old pug puppy who is very energetic and just got a neuter surgery, and she was able to accommodate his needs and care for him. She sent photos while I was away, mainly of him napping so I know he was tired out. She provided feedback on his pulling behaviors on walks and suggested different types of harnesses. I will definitely book her again, and thank you, Elaine!”
“Anky watched Penny while we were away for a long weekend and she was extremely communicative and reliable, sharing lots of pictures and updates! We will definitely book with her again!”
“Ian and Clementina were great with Tripp, from taking him to the dog park to letting him join all their errands. I really appreciated the prompt communication and daily photo updates — Tripp was comfortable and rolling over for belly rubs almost instantly with them!”
“Merin was AMAZING!! I really felt Moose was being well taken care of and left me with such peace of mind while on vacation. She was super thorough, gave constant updates, and reached out with any questions/concerns. Hands down we found our go to sitter which is the best feeling knowing I have someone to trust to take care of Moose when I need a little R&R! Thank you!!”
“Maria was super responsive to all of my questions before booking and let us do a meet and greet before my dog stayed there. My dog has some specific needs and Maria accommodated perfectly!”
“Atlas stayed with John & Madeleine for 1.5 weeks, his fourth or fifth time staying with them. He was excited to be dropped off and stay, and I got regular updates. Definitely recommend!”
“Always a pleasure with Michael, very good communicator, great attention to detail, no issues with him giving medicine or walking our dog who is leash reactive and can be tough to walk. Thanks again, Michael!”
“Jelfri and his family were so wonderful and made sure my dog came home happy and healthy! He needed meds and they were very on top of that and made sure to keep me updated on his health! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using him again !”
“They were great about boarding my anxious cat, Lucy. Wonderful sitters and they kept me updated with photos and videos frequently. Would definitely recommend!”
“David was amazing! Communication was consistent and adorable and I really felt like Roman was welcomed into his family. He was amazingly chill when I picked him up, not straining to get to me like he usually is, which I think says it all about the excellent care he received at David’s home. I would recommend him to anyone!”
“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”
“Sherry and Walter looked after our little puppy Figo for a night, and were fantastic sitters! They played with him, made him feel very comfortable with lots of snuggles, took him on a lovely walk and sent us lots of updates throughout. We’d recommend them highly!”
“Renzo took great care of my little Xina while I was away. This was the first time I left my dog for an extended period of time and Renzo made me feel at ease from the moment I dropped her off in his care. He sent tons of photos and videos daily and I knew my pup was sad to leave his care. I think she loved him more than me! I will definitely be using Renzo's services again.”
“Krystal took wonderful care of our dog, Joules, while we were away for two weeks. We were initially nervous about leaving our older dog for that long, but Krystal made the experience completely stress-free. She kept us updated regularly, gave Joules plenty of attention and long walks, and clearly cared about his well-being. We came home to a happy dog and couldn't be more pleased. We highly recommend Krystal!”
“I booked Patrice again for Minnie’s boarding, and it was once again a wonderful experience. Minnie absolutely adores Patrice and her family, who treat her like one of their own. Their small dog gang is the perfect environment for Minnie as an older Pomeranian. I always have a peace of mind leaving Minnie with Patrice and will happily continue booking with her!”

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!”

“Jessie was amazing! She was communicative and very attentive throughout the whole process. She made me feel completely at ease while I was traveling. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Truly the best!! This is the second time Alejandra has watched our cats and she never fails to take amazing care of them. This time around, the cats were coming off of a little kitty virus and needed medicine twice a day. Alejandra stepped up to the task and not only made sure they were properly medicated and cared for, but also provided hilarious photos of one of our cats being cranky about medicine time. She’s our go-to for a reason and we’re so grateful for how well she cares for our little fur babies!!”
“Diana is great! She gave our kitty much needed love and attention while we were away, and that put our minds at ease. Highly recommend, as we will definitely book with Diana again in the future!”
“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.”
“Absolutely incredible catsitters! They took both cats into their home and made them feel welcomed and carefully taken care of. They were great with prepping me as a first time Rover user and sent daily updates. I was thoroughly impressed by how thorough their updates were, particularly with any behavior changes they noticed (i.e. appetite, litter box usage) and notified me immediately. It really created a sense of calm while I was away and that's all you can really ask for. Appreciated them for their attentiveness, proactive communication, and incredible hospitality to the cats in their own home. They're very experienced cat owners as well as sitters and it showed during my 2-week time away.”
“Aksel was prompt and took care of my two cats excellently. His 2 visits were my first experiences with Rover and it couldn’t have gone smoother. He was courteous , and he was super easy to coordinate ate with . He sent lots of nice pictures , which I appreciated”
“Dayanara was very punctual and provided lots of pictures and updates. She was very playful and attentive to Don’s needs. Dayanara also helped us manage a lost key situation gracefully, so I appreciated her flexibility with her care!”
“Natalie did a great job with my cat Ollie. He’s a shy cat at first but he felt comfortable around her after her first visit. She took care of all essentials (feeding him, playing with him, and cleaning his litter). Thank you Natalie and will definitely be booking you again in the future.”
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!
“christopher made our first experience using rover so smooth!! he was professional, communicative, and accommodating. look forward to working with him again.”

“Katherine was amazing! By far the best sitter we’ve had. She is so considerate and accommodating and genuinely cares for our pooches. Watson had such a great time with her and the wonderful outdoor space she has. I would highly recommend her services and will definitely be back with my little guy soon!”

We felt totally at ease knowing our pup was in such good hands :) We’d 100% book with Deirdre again and highly recommend her!”
About: If you need a chill space for your pet for the day, I'm here for you. Your dog needs a best friend, I'm here for you. Howie feeling down lately and needs a day of fun, I'm here for you. Fun in the sun, fun in the snow, no matter the weather we go play. In the summers I usually work with animals. I work at Farm and wilderness every other summer and this past summer I worked at Sean Casey’s animal rescue. I’m very familiar with taking care of animals, especially dogs. My love for dogs is unconditional. Stormi and I love opening up our space to Furry friends. I mostly work from home and my schedule is very flexible. It allows me more than enough time to hang with some pups for the day. The pups will be in a warm and playful environment they can get comfortable in. They’ll be able to explore and get acclimated at their own pace.
“Jade did an amazing job with our dog Yoshi! I’m hesitant about leaving our dog with a new person but we were visiting the city and needed daycare, so we did a meet and greet and Jade was very responsible and communicative, making me feel confident that she would make sure our dog felt comfortable in her house. Our dog had a tummy ache and she was diligent about helping him eat in the morning and, took him on several walks.”
“Nicole was very responsive and helpful! She replied the day before and dropped my dog off at my workplace at the end of the day. Would definitely work with her again!”
“If you’re looking for an understanding and patient caretaker for your dog, look no further than Britt! She kindly took on the job of watching my newly adopted dog, Pepper, at the very last minute. Throughout the day, she sent thoughtful updates and even shared Amazon links for helpful dog products and treats. Britt was incredibly attentive to Pepper’s adjustment to a new environment and showed so much patience. Bonus points for her sweet dog, Furby, who became Pepper’s new friend during her stay. Rest assured, Britt is more than capable of taking great care of your fur baby!”
“Sonia was accommodating and ensured that Ezra received a lot of outside walks and off-leash playtime. She also gave treats and a meal if the pickup time was beyond Ezra’s typical dinner time. Her dog played well with my dog and provided a lot of healthy social activity. Thanks!”
“Laisa and Harun took our dog in for two days of daycare very last-minute and were super great about it. They asked good questions beforehand that made me comfortable that they knew what they were doing and were interested in making it a good time for everyone. Clifford didn’t get to meet their dog Nova, but hopefully one day soon!”
“Mae is an amazing dog sitter! She kept me updated throughout my dogs stay, and was incredibly kind and easy to communicate with. She also took my dog on multiple long walks, and he seemed so happy afterward. Highly recommend her services!”
“Kira is so wonderful with Clifford; caring, kind, and fun. Clifford really gets along with Footsie, and they play very well. Her setup with the dog park in the building is beyond ideal. We’re so thrilled to have found such a great fit for us! Clifford pulls on his leash so hard to get to Kira’s place any time we’re in the vicinity.”
“Love how confident I feel leaving my girl Roxie with Shishi and her partner. Just wrapped up three consecutive days of daycare. Love the photo updates ❤️. Would def recommend to anyone interested.”
“Everything went without a hitch. My anxious dog was returned happy and well cared for. She was good at keeping him calm taking him out and walking him for an hour in her building’s dog run. I don’t recall that it was mentioned, but Ann has a cat that Wally apparently had a conflict with. Ann was great, however.”

“Valeriia is absolutely the best! She spent so much quality time with Ella and gave her the best care and walk we can ask for. She is so patient and nice with Ella and I can feel that she genuinely love your pup. Will definitely recommend her service!”
“Maadiah is the absolute best!! I have a dog who is reactive to strangers and dogs on walks, and Maadiah was amazing with him. She made him feel so comfortable and with permission stayed with him after, which was life changing in making him feel comfortable. She also was great about sending pictures and updates and caught that his poop was weird (and even took a picture which was useful at the vet). Overall, I cannot recommend Maadiah higher and would 100% book with her again.”
“Stephanie is fantastic! Our dog can be stubborn and Stephanie is persistent in trying to get her to walk. Our dog is so excited to see her each time. Stephanie is always responsive and flexible if the schedule changes!”
“Jessie is extremely responsive and so easy to communicate with. I really appreciate the patience she has with me and Dale! It's very comforting to know Jessie is nearby and able to care for my Dale when I'm away.”

“Daniela took amazing care of Ella even Ella can be scared at first. I have worked with Daniela 3 times now and it shows how professional she is and I will highly recommend her for your service!!!”
About: I'm here! As a lifelong pet owner, I know what it takes to ensure that my cats, dogs and critters are well taken care of (and although it's not always easy, it's always rewarding) I have successfully raised kittens and puppies and I am familiar with basic puppy training techniques and tricks and would love to work with your puppy if you're currently training them, feel free let me know what you're working on so I can help with the process. I also have personal experience handling small animals such as hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, chinchillas and mice and would love to meet yours if you have any :) ★☆★ NEW CLIENTS, PLEASE NOTE★☆★ For my and your pets' sake, I do not accept bookings without an initial meet and greet prior to the scheduled assignment. I understand things do happen last minute however for safety reasons it is best to do a meet and greet before I take on any new clients, I would prefer not to intrude on an animal's space without them at least being familiar with my presence and I am not comfortable with needlessly causing them any stress. Thank you for your understanding and consideration. I have over over 5 years of professional dog handling experience from working at a local doggy daycare and as a dogwalker with a small company. There, I've familiarized myself with the visual cues of canine body language to ensure that safety is my top priority for the pack. I know some dogs have bad days like the rest of us, that's why I like to think they would be in good hands. I also have about 3 years of professional dog walking experience with another company (The Dogwalking Network) in the Park Slope area where I walked about 10-15 dogs a day of various sizes (and never more than 4 dogs for groups, based on temperaments of each individual dog) I am currently a part time student at City Tech looking for some part time fun with your fur babies! Rain or shine, I'm available in the general Fort Greene area. Lots of play, treats and unconditional love! If there is anything that I need to know, please do not hesitate to inform me. I have personal experience with administrating oral medications and will be extra mindful of any allergies or conditions your fur baby has. Please inform me ahead of time if there is any additional information that I need to know in regard to any tips or tricks for getting access to your pups and kitties such as tricky locks, doors, entry codes, etc so I may plan ahead for your convenience.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with both cats and dogs. I understand how important it is to feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable and loved in their own routine. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pet like my own! I work full time- in the office three days a week which allows for a good amount of flexibility! I am mostly available on weekends but can always make week days work if needed! I care for my pet and your pets with the same focus on safety, happiness and making sure they’re enjoying their time! I make a priority to match the needs of the animal I’m watching.
About: I am new to rover but I have tons of experience walking dogs and housesitting! I love spending time with dogs and getting to know their unique personalities. Caring for dachshunds, rescue dogs, and a deaf pit bull has taught me to be observant, and adapt to each dog’s individual needs. I work Monday through Friday, so I’m available on weekends. And early morning/evening walks and home stays depending on what your dog needs. Every dog is different, so I’ll tailor each visit to what they enjoy and need most, whether that’s long walks, playtime, a trip to the park, or just relaxing. I enjoy spending my weekends outside, and having a dog to join me on a walk is always a lovely bonus. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I’ll follow their usual routine, respect their boundaries, and adapt my care to their personality and breed. I have doggy stairs for dachshunds to help protect their backs, and I’m happy to accommodate any special needs. I’ll treat your pup like my own and send plenty of photos and updates so you always know they’re happy and in good hands.
About: I’ve cared for my own dogs through their senior years, which taught me patience, awareness, and to just make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Just moved to NYC and I do miss having dogs around and would love to share some extra love with yours! Spending time with your dog would honestly be the best way to spend my extra time. Walks, playtime, belly rubs, and all the furry company! I’ll make sure your fur babies receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh food and water, medication if needed, and lots of love and reassurance. I’ll also keep you updated with photos/messages so you can feel at ease knowing your fur babies are happy and well cared for!
“Paula walked Chester twice last Saturday for the first time. She was terrific and kept me up to date throughout. I provided very detailed instructions around my dog's allergies and she was attentive to them. It was much appreciated. Thank you, Paula!”

It was literally the coldest winter/weekend in NJ/NY area in the past 10+ years. They kept me updated constantly with walk pics throughout the day and pics of him in general! I was very happy to know that their dog (Walnut) is a sweetheart and gets along well with my dog! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable and responsible couple to dog sit. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“Joseph was absolutely wonderful with Eden during her boarding stay. He was flexible, accommodating, and very easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. What stood out most was how much he included Eden in his daily life—he took her along on outings and made sure she was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. He also sent lots of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the pictures that Eden was having a great time and was very comfortable with him. Eden genuinely seemed to love spending time with Joseph, which says a lot. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would not hesitate to book with Joseph again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive sitter.”
