“Amazing i highly recommend. Very warm and welcoming and kept me updated every day with pictures and even was able to video call to speak to my fur baby when i missed him.. i will be booking very soon again . I can tell he miss them already so that’s a plus in my book”

“Vanessa is a wonderful sitter. You will feel her warmth and care for your fur baby. Her place is safe and secured. Our Flynn had a great time with her and other dogs. She sends you updates, photos & videos. Thank you Venassa! Will definitely choose you again and again.”

“Sam and her family hosted our cockapoo Diamond for a week. Working with Sam was an amazing experience from the first day we inquired! Diamond's stay was amazing, he had lots of fun which we could tell by all the photos that were sent to us. He was loved and taken very good care of for the week. Sam is also a great communicator which was very important to us because Diamond can be a little particular and a picky eater. Sam kept us informed about how Diamond was eating and how he was adapting to his new environment. Hands down we give Sam 10 stars🌟!”

“Nilka is a treasure. She is extremely loving to animals, showers them with attention and walks and very communicative, sending photos and updates. Boarding with Nilka is a vacation for your pooch. Highly recommended! I will use her every time she's available.”

“Ruth-Ann took excellent care of Marley who was having some allergy-related issues. I needed to extend his stay on short notice due to unforeseen circumstances and she was more than accommodating. I was not so worried about him as she provided frequent pix and video updates. Highly recommend Ruth-Ann as a sitter!”

“I highly recommend Karla for anyone’s pet care needs. She was friendly, responsive and a delight to work with. She provided daily updates on my dog’s day with pictures. I look forward to working with her again!”

“Jonisha was amazing. Simple drop off amd pick up. Very understanding and in touch throughout the entire process. Was willing and able to deal with the quorks of my pup. Awesome!!!”

About: For the past six months, I’ve been caring for my own Shih Tzu, and she inspired me to become a pet caregiver. Taking care of her has taught me the importance of patience, love, and responsibility. I have experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, grooming, administering basic care, and making sure she feels safe, happy, and comfortable. Caring for my dog has shown me how rewarding it is to provide pets with the attention and affection they deserve, and I’m excited to give the same level of care to every dog I look after. I'm currently working part-time. I only work Monday, Thursday, 7 hours and Friday 3 hours, which means that I have a lot of time to dedicate to your pet ❤️ I also have a 6-month-old dog of the Shihtzu breed so your baby will have company 🥰 I have a house with a patio in front of the house with a defense, also a backyard for the kids to play, the backyard has no defense because it connects with the parking lot of the house, they will have daily walks and above all I’ll take them to the park, parks where dogs are allowed all under precautions
“Kristen was wonderful! I had a two week vacation and my usual cat sitter had to cancel last minute. I was panicked because I needed someone I could trust since I have an elderly cat and another cat on medication that he needs daily. Kristen was able to accommodate a short notice booking and texted me everyday with updates and pictures. Because of her, I felt at ease when I was away because I knew they were being loved and in good hands. I highly recommend Kristen for boarding.”

“Judith is amazing. From the first hour I left my baby with Judith and her husband I was updated multiple pics each day that sheena was with them. I love how Judith and her Husband came to greet me, this made me comfortable in knowing whom would be around my dog. They actually Made my baby sad to come home so I know she had a good time, in two weeks I’ll be booking again. Thanks guys!!”

“Kristin was great with Echo and even helped her become friends with her other client Mia. Echo came home tired and happy and I was able to focus on my business trip without worrying about my baby. Thanks Kristin!”

“My pug Charlie had another wonderful time with Abbie and Peachy. Charlie feels really safe with Abbie even though she is a little anxious and Peachy is a great friend that helps Charlie to stay active and socialized especially in this cold weather. Outstanding hosts!”


“I cannot be happier with Narly and her family. They took extremely good care of my baby for 2 weeks and sent me daily updates. My baby even made friends and had a blast at their house. I would totally recommend Narly and would definitely ask her to watch my baby again!”

“Steven and Jennifer were great. This was our first time boarding our 2 boys and we were anxious and did not want to separate them. They sent us pictures and videos of the boys playing with their dog daily. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is nervous about leaving their dogs with strangers. They are good people who will care for your fur babies with care and affection.”

“Juliana was easy to communicate with and super flexible when our flight time changed last minute causing us to come the night before originally planned. She sent pictures and took care of our Sadie. Would recommend.”

“Margarita and Chris were an absolute joy! She sent me many photo and video updates while I was away, and it was clear that Winston was having a wonderful time, lots of cuddles, lots of playtime, and so much care. I really appreciated her thoroughness and communication throughout. She was also incredibly kind and flexible when my travel schedule ran a little late. Winston came home happy, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“I used Janine for the first time, and she exceeded every expectation. She was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring, providing regular updates that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter.”

“Diana was incredible! My pup clearly felt so comfortable in her home, and I appreciated her consistent check-ins to let me know how my dog was doing. I can't wait to book her again!”

“Our dog Hazelnut couldn’t have been in better hands than Ariella! Ariella was very attentive to all the details, likes/dislikes, and notes of our little Hazey during our Meet & Greet and she exemplified it while watching her. She treated Hazelnut with so much love and was very responsive with her needs. She would send us pictures and notes regarding Hazelnut while we were away. We will always feel confident with Ariella watching our dog Hazelnut in the future and we highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!”

About: I grew up with cats, actually! While I currently dont have the ability to adopt my own fuzzies again, I do help out with friends who go on vacations and things like that. **I also do bunnies! I was an ARBA registered judge and show rabbit breeder, 4H judge, and 4H instructor and animal trainer.** Pregnant and not allowed to change your kitty's potty? Or maybe youre like my friends and you have to be out of town for a vacation or family meeting, but cant take your fuzzies with you. Some cats do not do well with a boarding kennel situation, so skip the stress and giving them anxiety- hire someone to come check on them at home! Kittens to seniors, all are welcome- even the grumpy ones. Are they on a diet? Do they like tube treats? Even if they made a stinky, I will dump all of the litter out & wash the pan, then put the bag outside in the trash bin so that its not smelling up the house. History: My mother had a long haired tortie before I was born (she tolerated me as much as she was willing from what I was told) and when I was 4, we adopted a creamsicle boy from the neighbors (orange & white tabby). That cat was my best friend for 13 years before I had to say goodbye. We waited a bit, then went to the shelter and adopted a shorthair baby tortie that was really more of my mother's cat (like the previous tortie, although I didnt pick her because of the color). I'd drop in from college and even visit from out of state years later to take care of the tortie while my mother was on vacations. She was a very shy, quiet cat vs my creamsicle who was a big bold boy (he was just a massive cat, not overweight) and even though she knew who I was, I wasnt HER person, therefore my only purpose (to her) was food, water, and litterbox cleaning. Even though I used to play with her when she was younger, I respected her boundaries because in her defense, I *did* move out after the first few years of her life. She lived to be 16. Meanwhile I adopted a little white sock, white blaze, gray tabby girl just after college and had her for only 7 years before her number was called. She was a little purr machine cuddle bug until the day she took her final nap. After the loss of her and my dog, I personally havent had the time or housing requirements to be able to own pets again, so I do what I can to help other busy pet parents!

“Thank you so much, Ariella! We really appreciate you taking care of the cats during our vacation. Your professionalism, thoughtfulness, and dedication do not go unnoticed. My family is beyond satisfied with your service and we are so relieved to have a kind, caring individual like you in the area. Thanks again!”


“Kristen was wonderful! I had a two week vacation and my usual cat sitter had to cancel last minute. I was panicked because I needed someone I could trust since I have an elderly cat and another cat on medication that he needs daily. Kristen was able to accommodate a short notice booking and texted me everyday with updates and pictures. Because of her, I felt at ease when I was away because I knew they were being loved and in good hands. I highly recommend Kristen for boarding.”


“Valeria was amazing staying with my 2 cats when i was away for a weekend! She took great care of them and sent picture updates everyday. She was also so easy to work with and flexible to my schedule - I almost had to cancel and she was able to work it out with me when I found out I didn't have to cancel! Will definitely have her come watch my boys again ☺️”


“Anna is truly amazing! She would pick up on my kittie habits and communicate with me very promptly when she feels there may be an issue - no matter how small or big. I really appreciated her attention to detail. Overall, Anna's communication is so timely, clear, and thoughtful. And I think that's a strength like none other. My cats also loved her, I don't think they even missed me. I normally feel bad asking the sitters to send me pictures because personally I think it could be a tad bit annoying, but Anna would send me pics when they are being particularly cute or show me how my cats are cuddling with her non-stop! TL;DR, I am traveling for a wedding next weekend, and I already reached out to her to see if she could help me again. I hope Anna can be my kitties' loving and caring aunt forever! Please don't move from NYC!”


“I was really nervous leaving my Sylvester because I never did anything like this before but I must say I would definitely use them again I felt like they were family instead of a sitter for my boy they really were happy to care for him and I was happy I chose them it made my first experience a pleasant one”

About: I have been caring for dogs ever since I can remember and in particular I started caring for them professionally around 5 years ago. I have yet to meet a dog I could not handle, even ones that people would call big and scary. I believe this comes from a firmly held belief that if you treat a dog right, they will stand by you forever. I am experienced with dogs from young to old, small to large, and docile to super hyper. I attempt to accommodate any and all requests to the best of my abilities. In addition I would be more than happy to meet a prospective client free of charge before watching their pet. In general, I am available nightly starting at 7 PM except for Fridays where I am unavailable. Wednesday nights and the Saturday nights I am available from 9:30 PM and onwards. Sundays, I am available all day. In general, I do not watch dogs in my own home. In regards to the pet Owner’s home I do whatever I can to accommodate all safety requests and needs.
“Minyon us SUPER accommodating. Even with my hectic schedule and several emergencies at once, she understood and gave me grace through every step of the process. When my pups met her, they instantly fell in love with her. She sent videos and pictures every visit and made sure to take them on nice long walks... which my pups love. I would ABSOLUTELY book with Minyon again!”

“Tatiana always goes above and beyond in taking care of our two cats. She sends detailed updates and tons of pictures. I always feel at ease leaving them in her care, even on longer trips away. Highly recommend!”


About: I first began cat sitting at 16 when a friend of mine travelled out of the country on holiday. Although I have experience in caring for strays in the neighborhood I grew up in, I would say caring for my friend's cat was the first official experience I had where I was not just feeding a cat but cleaning up after it (cleaning the litter box), providing light grooming sessions (brushing) and entertainment through puzzles, toys and enjoying some down time (cuddles). My first job at the private veterinary practice as I got older allowed me to expand my knowledge of basic cat care from feeding and brushing to administering oral or topical medication. Additionally, moving onto an overnight supervisory position at a daycare facility-with special attention to it's "cattery" furthered my experience with understanding feline behavior as well as effective cleaning methods for maintaining their temporary away-from-home arrangements.
“Rachel did a great job taking care of Zu! He needed a friend while I was away and she definitely provided! She also provided all the necessary care and maintenance that comes with a FIV cat. Will definitely reach out to her again.”

“Robert was absolutely wonderful with my cat. He is reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. He sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My cat can be a little particular, but she warmed up to him immediately - a true testament to his calm and caring approach. He took excellent care of her space, followed all instructions perfectly, and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat, and that says it all. I would recommend Robert without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated cat sitter. I’ll definitely be booking him again!”

“Robin was the BEST! She agreed to do a meet and greet with me and even brought her pups to meet my princess Honey. Even though I felt comfortable with her through our chats, meeting her in person beforehand put the cherry on top. Once booked, she took great care of of my Honey girl, sent so many photos and gave me cute updates while I was at work. This was my first booking and definitely will not be the last. She can absolutely be trusted with your fur babies. I’m so glad I took a chance as she made the experience worthwhile. Now my Honey has a home away from home!! Thank you Robin, see you again :)”

“Ariella is amazing. I don’t have Cooper walked very often so he’s become “interesting” As he’s gotten older. Ariella took EXCELLENT care and had the patience of a saint when Cooper didn’t want to put his leash on! Thank you so much!”

About: I differentiate myself by offering specialized skills like administering medication, handling medical emergencies, and providing personalized care tailored to each pet's needs. Building trust through expertise and professionalism is key in communicating effectively in order to deliver the best possible care. Additionally, my own experience with my dog has also granted me the ability to understand and meet such needs as well as the emotional needs of any pet, and to establish a trusted relationship with both pet and owner! I am currently a per diem part-time nanny to a family in New Jersey while attending online college classes; however, the alignment of both schedules allows me the flexibility to include my passion for pet care! I am flexible and available most weekdays between 9AM-2PM and weekends between 10AM-7PM. My work experience in animal welfare in clinical and boarding facilities allows me to apply what I have learned into what I can do. As an overnight supervisor in a doggy daycare environment, pets are cared for by providing a safe and stimulating environment, ensuring their well-being, and offering socialization opportunities with other dogs. This includes activities such as playtime, walks, feeding, and monitoring their behavior whereas in a clinical setting, caring for pets involves monitoring vital signs, administering treatments, conducting medical procedures, and providing post-operative care. It also includes maintaining cleanliness, following strict protocols, and ensuring a comfortable environment for the animals. Although not as extensive in daycare or clinical facilities, in-home pet care allows for individualized attention where needed as needed without the external stressors of a constantly changing environment. In-home care involves the basics of pet welfare and includes providing food, water, exercise, and companionship. Additionally, administering medication, following specific care instructions, and maintaining a safe environment are crucial, all of which I can provide based on my background and experience.

About: I’m a born-again pet person and love spending time with cats and dogs.

About: While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have lived with and cared for plenty. Caring for them taught me the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and paying attention to a dog’s individual needs and personality. What sets me apart is that I’ll treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m dependable, active, and genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors, so whether your dog prefers a leisurely stroll or a more energetic walk, I’ll make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.

I am flexible and available through out the day Mondays Fridays and Weekends as well as most week nights. Can always move things around if need be. I live in a large house in Long Beach New York, with plenty of room inside, as well as the beach to accommodate any dog.

About: I have been caring for dogs ever since I can remember and in particular I started caring for them professionally around 5 years ago. I have yet to meet a dog I could not handle, even ones that people would call big and scary. I believe this comes from a firmly held belief that if you treat a dog right, they will stand by you forever. I am experienced with dogs from young to old, small to large, and docile to super hyper. I attempt to accommodate any and all requests to the best of my abilities. In addition I would be more than happy to meet a prospective client free of charge before watching their pet. In general, I am available nightly starting at 7 PM except for Fridays where I am unavailable. Wednesday nights and the Saturday nights I am available from 9:30 PM and onwards. Sundays, I am available all day. In general, I do not watch dogs in my own home. In regards to the pet Owner’s home I do whatever I can to accommodate all safety requests and needs.

About: Hi, I’m Francesca. I’ve grown up with all kinds of dogs, from big breeds like Greyhounds and Newfoundlands to smaller ones like Yorkiepoos and Jack Russells. I currently care for some family and friends' dogs, but I’d love to meet and help take care of your furry friends too! I have a flexible hybrid schedule and can work from anywhere. Helping our furry friends is just the icing on the cake. I enjoy it!

“Vanessa is a wonderful sitter. You will feel her warmth and care for your fur baby. Her place is safe and secured. Our Flynn had a great time with her and other dogs. She sends you updates, photos & videos. Thank you Venassa! Will definitely choose you again and again.”

“Sam and her family hosted our cockapoo Diamond for a week. Working with Sam was an amazing experience from the first day we inquired! Diamond's stay was amazing, he had lots of fun which we could tell by all the photos that were sent to us. He was loved and taken very good care of for the week. Sam is also a great communicator which was very important to us because Diamond can be a little particular and a picky eater. Sam kept us informed about how Diamond was eating and how he was adapting to his new environment. Hands down we give Sam 10 stars🌟!”

“Kristen was wonderful! I had a two week vacation and my usual cat sitter had to cancel last minute. I was panicked because I needed someone I could trust since I have an elderly cat and another cat on medication that he needs daily. Kristen was able to accommodate a short notice booking and texted me everyday with updates and pictures. Because of her, I felt at ease when I was away because I knew they were being loved and in good hands. I highly recommend Kristen for boarding.”

“Steven and Jennifer were great. This was our first time boarding our 2 boys and we were anxious and did not want to separate them.

They are good people who will care for your fur babies with care and affection.”

She took to him right away which made me happy to see that I’d be leaving her with a sitter that she really liked. He provided regular updates throughout her stay and was flexible on drop-off and pick-up. I really appreciate him taking such good care of her while I was away. Would highly recommend!”
