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.”
“I can’t say enough about Nina, she was incredible! Our dachshund mix doesn’t warm up to new people quickly, but when we got back from our first week-long trip away from her, she didn’t want to leave Nina’s side! She updated us regularly, is great with communication and questions, has a warm lovely home, and is responsible and trustworthy. We’ve already recommended her to our neighbors who were on the fence about Rover, truly a great sitter and lovely human for your four legged friends!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, most often as the primary sitter for my family’s 3 dogs. I’m an avid runner, walker, and am happy to tire out your pup on a jog, relax with them on the couch, or anything in between. I work full time at a remote job. I can fit pet care into my remote work routine or take them during evenings and weekends. I am in a spacious apartment in close proximity to multiple parks and am happy to bring your pet to any best spaces for your pet.
“Renzo was fantastic! This was the first time that I used Rover and I was a little bit of a nervous mom, but Renzo was awesome and out my mind at ease. He made the drop off and pick up very ease and was immediately a natural with Chico. He sent so many pictures and updates to put our minds at ease. He spoiled Chico and even took him on field trips during his stay! Thanks again for a great stay!”

“Michael watched our dog June for one night in preparation for a longer stay and was very communicative and helpful! We’re looking forward to having June stay with him again.”

I would absolutely trust Gavriel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

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!
“Sam was great watching my two cats for a week! He provided good updates and photos each visit and even brought a laser pointer over for them during one of the visits. Both cats were doing well when we got back.”
“Linnea was fantastic! It was so easy to book and schedule with Linnea and they were so accommodating through out the process. I plan to use Linnea for any future trips as needed and recommend you do to.”
“Worried about leaving my cats alone for the first time, I was a bit nervous. But Marie allayed my fears and did a great job. Marie ensured the cats had everything to make them comfortable and went above my expectations to make sure there were no accidents. I came back to chirpy, happy cats and after a few days home, it's as if I never left for a few days... precisely why I hired Marie. She clearly cares for cats and it shows. Thank you Marie!!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we're glad to have found Madeleine to take care of our cat baby! She's a kind and caring sitter, evident in her attention to details and understanding the quirks of our cat. She was thorough and always updated us during the time she cared for our pet. Overall, an amazing sitter that will care for your pet affectionately.”
“Kyra was absolutely wonderful - I could not recommend her more. She provided detailed daily updates, lots of cute pics, and really bonded with my shy cat. She is truly the best!”
“Lindsey communicated with us throughout the process and took great care of our kitties. She even helped us out by watering our plants, which was super appreciated. Definitely recommend!”
“Christiana has taken care of my cat, Watson, numerous times and she’s great! She’s very responsive and has been able to help out when I’ve had last minute travel. She also has managed well giving him some supplements in addition to his normal food/routine.”

Stephanie is so warm, caring, and always excited to see her pups. There's a reason that she has so many regular clients-she is hands down THE BEST!”
“10000000/5! This was a phenomenal experience for both me and my pet to the point that she didn’t wanna come home lol! Linyan went above and beyond to make sure pebbles was well taken care of and sent PLENTY of pictures and videos.

About: My family has always had anywhere from 1-3 dogs at all times throughout my life, and have fostered as well. I have grown up being a dog lover and have always worked with my family to care for them and give our dogs the best home we can. I have also helped aunts/uncles and friends care for their dogs when they’ve needed extra assistance. I have a full time job where I go in the office around 1-2 times per week. However, my boyfriend (also a dog lover) is home during this time. Otherwise I work from home. I am also fairly flexible on the weekends. I would love to dog sit in my own apartment. I live in an apartment. I understand this means taking them out various times a day for walks & to use the bathroom. If I ever were to care for a dog in a client’s home I would treat it with the utmost respect and leave it cleaner than I found it.
“Georgia had the very best day with Emily and her dog, Kit, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly! She had good plays, they went on a great walk, and Georgia looked so happy in the photos she sent! We already booked our next play date!”
“Hyeyoung was super kind and lovely, and my dog Indie had a comfortable stay for eight hours during the day. She was responsive, accommodating, and did everything she could to make sure Indie was comfortable. Would highly recommend to anyone with a small dog ☺️”
“My dog is a bit more anxious and takes some time to warm up to others but did so well under Jessica’s care. She kept me updated and has been understanding throughout our communication. Highly recommend, thank you!”
“Rosemary and Adrian are great! They were both very kind and gentle with our dog, letting him acclimate at his own pace. They’re very responsive and kept us updated throughout the visit. Would definitely recommend!”
“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!”

“Kelsey was great. She took Nala for a decent walk and more importantly, was available last minute for something that came up. I would definitely hire her again.”
About: Hello! My name is Olivia, but I commonly go by Olive. I have had dogs all but nine years of my life. I have years of experience in puppy training, dog walking, and k-9 spoiling! I am passionate about making dogs feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I also have a dog of my own named Arnold. He is a 25 pound Mini Golden Doodle and is extremely friendly and energetic. I am always willing to take him along if your puppy needs socialization in a safe, controlled environment, or if your solo dog is simply longing for a playmate. It is entirely up to you and your dog friend. Aside from dog sitting/walking, I am an actress and writer. My schedule is flexible and know just below my love for the arts is my love for dogs. So rest assured, your dog will be enthusiastically prioritized and loved. I cannot wait to befriend you and your doggie! i am a writer/actor & this is one of a few trade jobs i do! this one takes priority in my schedule since i love it the most :) i’ve learned in working with dogs for so long, trust looks different for every dog. as the caretaker, it’s my responsibility to understand animal body language & behavior so that i know what are the boundaries of each animal i care for. from there, honoring those boundaries while also offering love & attention & practical care is typically my approach!

About: Hello, I grew up with dogs and very interested in getting my own some day. Hoping to gain more experience with pet care in the New York City area and get some much needed time with puppers! Primarily I'm looking for dog walking and boarding. I've walked my own dog and friends' dogs since I was a kid and one of my favorite activities was walking my own dog around the neighborhood. I've never been paid to walk dogs but I know how to keep them in line while also watching for signs of fatigue. I'm also available for house visits and house sitting. The days available are more flexible so please don't hesitate to be in contact! I have house sat for family friends as well as taken in friends' dogs for overnight care. Our apartment is dog friendly and we have a park right next to us so easy to spend a lot of time outside. Available to dog walk after 6 any day and board weekends. Please reach out as I’d love to meet your pet! I work 9-6 in midtown so after 6 on weekdays and weekends is easiest for me. Board your pet with me for a weekend getaway! We have a park right next to our house and easy walk around the neighborhood. House is pet friendly and large. Easy access on the first floor.
“Olivia took such good care of my puppy Fig! She was very communicative and sent photos and updates throughout the stay, which really gave me peace of mind. Would highly recommend, and would love to book her again soon!”
“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!!”
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.
“Court is very responsive and kind! She provided updates throughout my Fur-Baby’s stay. It was a smooth drop off and pick up. My dog Benny warmed up to her during the first meet which was great, especially since he’s typically a shy boy! They hit it off which I loved to see <3 she also asked how he preferred to sleep (bed or crate etc) which I thought was so kind of her to ask - she kept his comfort in mind for his stay.”
“I cannot recommend Yinuo enough! She was wonderful with our senior dog, Harlow. She sent pics and so many updates. I would definitely rebook!”
About: I grew up with dogs and love them. I'm happy to host dogs of all sizes and energy levels and have hosted a variety of dogs. Each one gets plenty of attention, rest and a quiet space so they're comfy in their temporary home with me. I generally take the dogs that stay with me out 3 times a day for two walks and one potty break. I don't board dogs from multiple parents at the same time, so your dog will be safe and get plenty of attention from me and my girlfriend (they might get spoiled a bit). I do have to go to the office 2-3 days a week, so if you request an extended stay (i.e. a week or more) then your dog must be able to stay at home for ~7 hours. I live in a large 1BR apartment in a pet-friendly building. There's plenty of space to lounge around and even play fetch. There is outdoor space to let your pet out during the day and quiet streets to take them out for longer walks.
About: I’ve taken care of and lived with dogs for years—dog sitting for friends and family over the years. Have taken care of all ages and sizes—huge teenage dogs to smaller old dogs. I work from home most days of the week—only going in one day a week usually. And, even when I do go in, my office often times will either allow dogs, or I can travel back home to feed/walk pets! I have a cozy apartment with large enough space for most dogs to feel comfortable with ample walk time each day! As a former vet student, I know what is and isn’t harmful to dogs, and am rigorous about caring for them
“Mia was amazing! She was very communicative, active with my dog, and made me feel extremely comfortable leaving my dog with her. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter or walker.”
“Kimberly was absolutely wonderful! She was warm, punctual, and professional from the start. My dog Franklin can be very anxious and has serious stranger danger, but he took to her immediately, which never happens. She sent lots of photos, videos, and thoughtful updates that made me feel completely at ease while I was away. By the end of the stay, Franklin was so happy with her he had to be bribed to come back home! Kimberly is kind, caring, and truly loves the dogs she looks after. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Diana is a true blessing! My dog Loretta has very very bad anxiety and separation anxiety. But Loretta is my baby! I love her and treat her like one of my children. Diana was WONDERFUL with her. She was with her 5 days and kept me up to date with everything. Pictures and everything. She gave me the biggest peace of mind. She made my vacation so enjoyable knowing my girlie was in the BEST hands! I would recommend Diana to anyone who wants their dog to be well taken care of and loved. Thank you Diana for loving my Loretta and treating her the way we do.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Pepper! Stella has been incredibly patient, kind, and attentive. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals, and Pepper absolutely adores her. We will definetely be back with her. Stella you are the best!!!. Highly recommend! ❤️❤️”
“Kiersten and Casey were absolutely incredible! We got photos every day of our trip and constant updates. Shep got plenty of walks and he even met other dogs in their building, completely put our mind at ease on our trip. Can’t recommend them enough!”
