“We had such a wonderful experience! Dior felt right at home from the moment she arrived and was so well cared for during her stay. We loved getting updates and could tell she was receiving lots of attention, love, and even some extra treats. Especially because Dior was in heat we were so happy she was comfortable. The thoughtful gift keychain was such a sweet surprise and really showed how much they care about both pets and their owners. We came home to a happy pup and couldn't ask for more. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their dog!”
“Just an incredible experience. Michelle was a pleasure to have dog sit Hero. She sent tons of pictures and videos and also gave Hero a bath! I would recommend her to anyone. 10/10.”
“My husband and I booked a much-needed vacation. We were very apprehensive about leaving our two senior dogs (Bella and Stella) with anyone. They require special care due to their age and the fact that they are rescues. We met with Pam before our trip and found her to be very pleasant, caring, and a wonderful dog mom. Our first impression of Pam was reinforced during our trip by the quality care that she gave our fur babies. She consistently sent us videos and kept us updated. We could see that they were very well taken care of and this enabled us to enjoy our vacation. Bella and Stella had a wonderful time and weren't in any rush to leave Pam. We will definitely, reach out to Pam again in the future!!!”
“It was our first time ever leaving our dog with a sitter. We were very nervous about it, but Sonia and her family made sure to send us videos and photos of her every day and constantly kept us updated on the well being of our Ginger! They welcomed her with open arms and made her feel right at home immediately . Thank you so much for taking such great care of our baby!”
“Joanna is amazing! Her love for your furry friend shows from the moment you meet her. She took care of Persia as if she were her own pup. Very communicative and sent pictures every day so we were never worried. Thank you again Joanna!”
“Michele welcomed our little baby at the last minute and showed her so much love. She constantly updated me with pics and little messages regarding her stay. Michele and her family are very loving.”
“Teddy seemed to really enjoy his stay with Alissa. He looked happy in the pictures that she sent us and he came back home not mad at us for leaving him. Thank you so much for taking such good care of teddy!”
“Our dog Boomer had a wonderful stay with Krissy and her dogs. Krissy is responsive with text messages and we get constant updates and pictures throughout our trip. I look forward to them everyday. He came home happy and himself. We would 100% book with Krissy again next time. Thank you for looking after our boy and treating him like one of your own. He was so spoiled and had his own mini vacation with a nice backyard which we don’t get in the city.”
“We left our pooch with Alba for seven days! My daughter was so upset. Alba was fantastic. At the meet and greet, we could see that Alba is an experienced dog sitter. She sent us updates and pictures that put my daughter at ease. We enjoyed the whole vacation because we knew everything was fine back home. Alba also took our booking on short notice which helped greatly. I cant thank her enough!!! 100% recommended.”
“My wife and I needed a last minute dog sitter, and we found dilania here on rover. Her response was quick. When we dropped our dogs off she gave updates and took great care of our pups.”
“Yessenia was absolutely lovely to work with. She answered any questions we had as first time Rover customers in order to put us at ease. We could see from the first interaction that she would be kind to our dog, as she immediately got down and gave her hand to the dog to sniff and then pet her. She has a daughter with a sweet and gentle personality, who kindly shared her own blanket with the dog to make the dog feel more comfortable. Yessenia‘s husband was friendly and pleasant as well. Yessenia sent us multiple pictures and updates over the weekend while she watched the dog. Though we brought some supplies, she was also prepared with her own if necessary. Furthermore, since Yesenia had already experienced life with a senior dog, she offered us some suggestions that might help with our pup. Our Rusty had never been cared for by a stranger up to this point. It was hard for us to leave her. That said, we would not only highly recommend Yessenia and her family to other dog owners, we will definitely reach out to Yessenia again if we need someone to board the dog. She even included a lovely note about the experience. Her thoughts were genuine, and it was nice for us to be reminded about the beauty of our dog whom we see every day.”
“Wenxu & Evan were truly the best sitters we could have asked for for Daisy over the holidays. From start to finish, they went above and beyond in every way. When my travel plans unexpectedly changed and I needed to adjust both drop-off and pick-up, they were incredibly flexible and accommodating, which took so much stress off my plate. They were also amazing with communication—sending me tons of photos and videos that showed just how happy, relaxed, and loved Daisy was. It honestly looked like she was on her own little vacation. Seeing her so comfortable and joyful made me feel completely at ease being away. I’ll definitely be using them again 💗”
“My dog literally came back home so tired from having fun. He received excellent treatment he had another dog to play with (which was great to wear him out) I was sent multiple pics throughout the day letting me know that Ac was in excellent care. I will use them again and again 🙏🏽”
“Tanu and her family provided a safe environment for our two dogs. Our senior dog has medical problems, and Tanu communicated promptly when any issues arose. She exercised them regularly and sent us daily updates and photos.”
About: Animals are my passion. Pets are always in my lifestyle. Rest assured your pet is in safe and caring hands. I am a responsible and caring person . I am a hardworking person but for your pets I always have time because they are my passion. We'll have fun together . Сare and attention is guaranteed. I live in a quiet place with friendly neighbors. I have a big house and a nice backyard. I will create all the necessary conditions for your pets.
“Vanessa was AMAZING! I needed to find someone to watch Lady on fairly short notice and Vanessa couldn’t have been more accommodating. She provided pictures and videos throughout Lady’s stay and took great care of her giving me so much peace of mind. Lady was sad to leave Vanessa and can’t wait to go back for more fun!!”
“If you want your pup to feel like they're at a home away from home - book with Tina. She and her family (two young children who will entertain your dog endlessly) will provide a loving environment with lots of play and attention. I boarded my 7 year old pit mix for several days and he felt right at home immediately. Tina was great sharing photos and videos of Lincoln playing in the fenced in back and taking lots of walks (I think he thought twice about coming back home :)). So happy I found her.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every dog I look after. I treat them like my own—with love, patience, and respect for their routines. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, and I’m comfortable with both puppies and senior dogs. I understand that each dog has its own personality and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe and happy in my care. Since I’m not currently a dog owner, I pour all my energy and affection into the dogs I sit for. I also have a fenced yard, which gives dogs a secure place to play and relax. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always keep pet parents updated so they can feel confident while they’re away. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make time for it on weekends and some weekday evenings. I’m usually available on weekends for boarding and daycare, and with advance notice, I can provide walks or care after 5:00 PM during the week. Since I don’t currently have a dog of my own, spending time with pets through Rover gives me the chance to enjoy their company and provide the attention they deserve. It’s something I look forward to fitting into my weekly routine, and I always plan my schedule carefully to give each dog quality care and attention. When caring for dogs in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I live in a house with a fenced yard, so dogs have a secure space to play and get fresh air. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding, walking, playtime, and rest—based on their owner’s instructions. I keep a calm, clean environment and always give plenty of love and attention. For walks and weekend daycare, I focus on making the experience fun and stress-free. I tailor walks to each dog’s energy level and needs, whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk for exercise. I also pay close attention to leash safety, weather conditions, and staying in familiar areas unless otherwise requested. Whether in my home or out and about, your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority.
“Jen did a great job with our beagle Daisy. She was inquisitive regarding Daisy’s needs, schedule, and likes/dislikes. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the time and even got Daisy to give a big smile on one of her pictures. We will definitely use her again.”

“Karen did a great job watching our two cats for 9 days. She gave timely, clear updates and asked questions when needed, which was rare, because she spent a lot of time getting to know them at the initial meet and greet. We came home to two healthy, happy kitties, glad she was able to take care of them for our time away.”
“Victoria was just wonderful. We had never used Rover before and to be honest we hardly traveled because we worried about leaving our cat. Finley is usually very leery of people he doesn't know, but he seemed very comfortable with Victoria from the start. Her messages and photos were very reassuring and he seemed very relaxed and content when we returned home. We were debating another longer trip and now plan to go because we have peace of mind in knowing that we have Victoria to look after Finley.”
“Elizabeth is a fantastic sitter. My cats love her and I always feel confident when I am away that she is caring for them. She understands their personalities and quirks and adjusts her care to these.i highly recommend her . I have used her several times for drop in visits!!!!”
“Wei came to my home to care for my 2 cats. She was attentive and sweet and my cats felt comfortable with her. She also made sure they had adequate water and food, and she diligently cleaned their litter boxes. I am thankful for her help!”
“Jenny was responsive and on top of things. During the meet and greet she asked a lot of questions to make sure that she had all the information. She was happy to meet our two cats. During her visits, she checked in with me and sent pictures. Everyone was happy to have her visit.”

“The best sitter to book with! Xiaoying and her family are excellent and truly the sweetest! I had an overnight cat sitting service with them for a 7 nights and they sent me daily photos and videos and made sure to keep me updated!

About: I am a animal lover who has cared for many different animals over my lifetime. From a young age I have owned dogs, cats, birds, and many more! I enjoy being around animals and have taken care of pets both in home and while owners are away! I am a happy soul and would love to meet and care for your pet! I work full time in NYC in and can do walks in the afternoon lunch hour most weekdays. Weekends are always free for more walk and play time. Willing to adjust and accommodate with your schedule! Always willing to do the best care for your pet. If it’s walks outside, playtime inside and everything else, it would be a thrill for me to meet and care for your pet.
“Kristen was wonderful with our two cats while we were away. She made sure to ask how much we wanted to be updated and tailored it accordingly. One of our cats is 20 and has a kidney-specific diet due to health issues and Kristen ensured she was well fed and taken care of. We could tell when we got home how much they were pampered while we were gone and I know they can’t wait until they get Kristen back again ?⬛ ?”

I approach pet care with a quiet, steady energy. I have always been naturally drawn to animals, and I excel at reading their non-verbal cues to ensure they feel entirely safe, secure, and comfortable while you are away.

About: I have had (and loved) cats ever since I can remember. I currently have two cats in my home, one tabby and one black cat. I would consider myself to be as much of a cat person as I am a dog person. I have played with cats, fed them (both wet and dry food), and have cleaned litter boxes as well! I hope you can trust me to watch your kitty :)
“Alex made sure to keep in contact with me during his visits and more. My kittys were fed and had yummy snacks while I was away which was a relief that I didn’t have to worry about them.”
“Linda was great with our dogs. She sent us photos of them and gave us an update on her visit. Upon meeting her, our dogs were instantly in love. We feel worry-free knowing she is going to tend to them when we are away.”

“Liying was wonderful! She accommodated Freddie on very short notice while I was at work and was communicative, active, and incredibly attentive to Freddie’s needs. I felt completely comfortable knowing Freddie was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been living with a dog (at one time with 3) since 2010. We recently said goodbye to our lab/retriever mix and are not quite yet ready to adopt a dog again but we miss having a dog around. As a pet parent I understand how stressful it can be finding reliable care and finding someone who will love your dog as much you do. It can also be tough when you find out you have to work late and will need someone to come to your rescue to let your baby out and feed them. When I’m not walking dogs, I’m taking care of my human children (who also love dogs) which means I have a somewhat flexible schedule, and I spend a lot of time outdoors. We have always found lots of fun outdoor bonding opportunities everywhere we have lived with our dog. We both love being outside and being active and I would love to share this hobby with your dog too! I am a full time mom to two school aged children. I have reliable blocks of availability for the most part. I am in and out during the day and my husband works from home a lot of the time as qell. We’re very big on walks, dog parks, fetch (our sweet pup was inexhaustible and could play fetch for hours), and my kids practically live in our yard so I’m outdoors a lot when I’m home. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I follow the care instructions given by the pet parent.
“Vanessa was so kind to take in Teddy on a last minute notice for the day. She was super responsive and flexible, and Teddy looked like he had a great time! We will for sure be booking with Vanessa again. Thank you!!!”
“Michelle was amazing with Milo! This was our first time leaving him with someone else, so I was a little nervous, but she made the whole experience so much easier and more comfortable. She was very attentive, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs, which gave me a lot of reassurance. I really appreciated the updates and how she made sure Milo felt safe and cared for. When I picked him up, he was happy and relaxed, which means everything to me as a dog mom. It was clear he was in good hands the entire time. The pickup and drop-off process was also smooth and convenient, which I loved. Overall, I had a great experience and would absolutely trust Michelle with Milo again!”
“Krissy and her husband were wonderful! We felt completely comfortable leaving our dogs in their care. We were visiting the area for a week and needed someone to board our dogs while we were here. We’re so happy we found them and would highly recommend them! 🐾😊”
About: For quite a few years I’ve taken care of dogs for family members, families all over Long Island and never disappointed! I’ve loved dogs all my life and still do. They’re honestly like family to me and I always treat my family with care, respect and love which is what a dog needs. I also have 2 dogs of my own and they is just the best thing that happened to me honestly and that’s why I’m working for this company because I’ve found something that I could work for and love doing what I do at the same time. I treat every dog like they’re mine! Every dog that has been to my house they are treated like our family, care for every one of them. I am home full time! Sometimes I go out to run a few errands which means I put the dogs in a crate but my mother works from home 2 days out of the week so if she’s there, she’ll keep them out and moving around on their own! Other than that, I am very free! Other than that, they will be taken great care of by me. In my home I have a huge clean yard that runs through the back, side and front it is fenced so the dogs could run freely around for daily exercise. I also love to walk so if your dog also loves to, we will definitely be a great match! I have two dogs of my own that’ll keep your lovely dog(s) company. They are very playful and welcoming, one is 6 years old and the other one is 5 years old, with all their shots and up to date with all doctor appointments. This is a smoke free house also. Your baby will be happy & safe here!
“Tina was so awesome to work with! She watched our super high energy 2 year old lab mix (Kenzie) for daycare at her home. She sent lots of pictures and updates and made sure to ask us lots of information about our dog before we dropped her off. I appreciated how much communication she provided and all of the pictures she sent!”
“Alba greeted us warmly and made Max feel very comfortable. She kept in touch during the day, sending photos, and I knew Max was in good hands. I will definitely be using Alba again! Max had a great day 😊”
“Michelle was so lovely, she looked after my two pups for the day and it looked like they had the best time. She sent lots of pictures too! Would absolutely trust her with my dogs in the future.”
“Karina is polite, trustworthy and very attentive when we have our watch our dog. She sends lots of pictures and videos and keeps me updated throughout my dogs visit!”
“Pamela is fantastic! She took such great care of our two pups. They came home very well exercised and happy. She sent great photos and videos throughout the day to keep us in the loop, we’ll definitely be booking again with her. Thank you Pamela!”
About: My family and I all love animals, so we applied to be pet's sitters at home care. We have a independent house with a yard, and there will always be someone at home 24 hours a day. The pets can move freely at home without too many restrictions. We have regularly clean to the house to ensure the clean and hygiene environment for all pets. I have over a year of experience in taking care of cats and over six years of experience in taking care of dogs. The longest time I took care of a cat was for two months. At the beginning, the cat would hide under the sofa for a week, but lately he became completely unrestrained and would lie on the bed together, play hide-and-seek with me, and explore every corner of the house. When the weather was good, the dogs could play freely in the yard. Welcome all cats and dogsto my home, we are the best friends of your pets! We can keep daily routine for all pet's. I am working part-time on weekends and I will come back at 4PM , but my family members are off on weekends. And my family members and I take care of all pets together. We have a independent house with a yard, and there will always be someone at home 24 hours a day. The pets can move freely at home without too many restrictions. We have regularly cleaning to the house to ensure the clean and hygiene environment for all pets. When the weather was good, the dogs could play freely in the yard.

“Alissa is super nice and down to earth. We met with her for a meet and greet and my dog was comfortable with her and her home right away. She has two super sweet dogs of her own and her home is beautiful and cozy. She is quick to respond and has proven to be reliable and trustworthy. I would highly recommend her!”

I will certainly be using Jennifer's day care again. maybe just so mink can play she also has a 22 yr old grey parrot who blew minks mind lol. so now I can add birds onto his long list of friend creatures. thank you again jennifer!”
“Cynthia was great with my senior dog Lulu. Finding someone trustworthy and experienced to watch a senior dog can be stressful, but Cynthia gave me complete peace of mind.

“Xaria was wonderful with our dog Bones. She communicated everything from the start, met for a meet and greet, was very prompt. We will be booking her in the future. Very happy with her service. Thank you Xaria!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was little! I have experience with a variety of temperaments and needs in dogs and cats. My dog at home is a rescue who has some fear and anxiety-related issues, and I have become very comfortable with dogs who need a little bit extra attention and care to be able to come out of their shells. I work late afternoon to evening most days, so I have daytime availability. Before going to work, I love to take walks on my own! I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of space for dogs to run around. I have two cats and one dog who get along well with other animals.
About: I’ve had my dog for 6 years now. Since getting her I have taken care of her by feeding her, taking her on walks, spending time with her in general, and being the sole care taker when my family is away. I also worked at a pet supplies store for 9 months, only leaving to go to college. There I learned about what dogs and cats need in general as well as got experience interacting with the many different types of dogs when they entered the store. There I met a dog, Neo, who I got to know when I became there dog walker. It gave me experience in walking a dog and getting to know a dog that wasn’t my own. I’m excited at the prospect of working for you and your dog or cat. Animals are truly some of the best things the world has to offer and I promise to do my absolute best to take care of them! I am a full time student. I have availability on Thursday evenings, Fridays, and the weekend! I will have Monday and Wednesday availability starting on November 3rd. The most important part is making sure the dog is safe, for me this means making sure the dog doesn’t have access to anything that could be harmful, as well as when taking the dog on walks having the harness fully on in the correct manner and being on the lookout for other dogs/cars/and anything else that could potentially cause danger. That being said it is also important that I care for the dog by spending time with them, giving them treats(based on the owner’s preference), and petting them.
“I am very thankful for Karina’s availability to walk my dog twice a day on New Years’ Eve. She was very communicative throughout the whole day and fed my dog per my request. My doggy was very calm for the rest of the night and I think he really enjoyed the walks and time with Karina. She even brought in my package inside since it was raining! Thank you so much! I look forward to requesting Karina in the future when I have long events!”
About: Hi! I’m an orthodontic assistant and part-time college student working toward becoming an orthodontist. I currently am trying to save up money to pay for dental school. I absolutely love animals, especially dogs and cats, and enjoy spending time with them and learning about their specific quirks and personalities. I’ve walked and cared for dogs before, including a friendly Goldendoodle, and I’m committed to making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Working with children every day has taught me to be patient, attentive, and dependable qualities I bring when caring for pets, too. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, or someone to stick to their routine, I’ll treat them with the same care and kindness I would my own. In my free time, I also enjoy baking, and I truly love taking care of others, whether they’re people or pets! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to balancing work, school, and responsibilities. I’m available on weekends, have a 7-hour break between (12pm-5pm availability on Tuesday and Thursday) classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays and I’m free in the evenings after 5pm on Fridays. I enjoy spending my free time caring for animals, going on walks, and giving pets the attention and affection they need. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to work with owners to fit their pet’s routine. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medication (if needed), playtime, and any specific preferences their pet has. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also respecting their space and home. My goal is to help pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away

“I would like to highly recommend Christopher as a great dog sitter. We were very nervous about leaving our 13 months old puppy for the first time ever, but Christopher gave us a great welcoming and ask the right questions about our Cooper that it helps us so much to trust him our puppy. He took excellent care of him and kept us very updated with texts and pictures. I will definitely contact him if needed again and highly recommend him too”

We were very nervous about it, but Sonia and her family made sure to send us videos and photos of her every day and constantly kept us updated on the well being of our Ginger! They welcomed her with open arms and made her feel right at home immediately . Thank you so much for taking such great care of our baby!”
“Our dog Boomer had a wonderful stay with Krissy and her dogs. Krissy is responsive with text messages and we get constant updates and pictures throughout our trip. I look forward to them everyday. He came home happy and himself. We would 100% book with Krissy again next time. Thank you for looking after our boy and treating him like one of your own. He was so spoiled and had his own mini vacation with a nice backyard which we don’t get in the city.”

“We had great communication with Shirley throughout the entire process. We did a meet and greet before the stay, and she asked thoughtful questions beforehand to really get to know our dog. During the stay, she shared lots of photos and videos, which we truly appreciated. She was also very flexible and accommodating when we had to change our plans due to the snowstorm. Highly recommend!”

“If you want your pup to feel like they're at a home away from home - book with Tina. She and her family (two young children who will entertain your dog endlessly) will provide a loving environment with lots of play and attention. I boarded my 7 year old pit mix for several days and he felt right at home immediately. Tina was great sharing photos and videos of Lincoln playing in the fenced in back and taking lots of walks (I think he thought twice about coming back home :)). So happy I found her.”
“Jen did a great job with our beagle Daisy. She was inquisitive regarding Daisy’s needs, schedule, and likes/dislikes. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the time and even got Daisy to give a big smile on one of her pictures. We will definitely use her again.”
