“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!”
“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”
“It was such a pleasure to have Shirley watch our dog. He is a senior dog and requires additional attention. Shirley was amazing and keeping us up to date on how he was doing and he honestly was on vacation himself. He had so much fun!”
“I can’t recommend Samantha enough! From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in amazing hands. She treated my pup like family — giving them tons of love, attention, and care. While I was away, she kept me updated with regular messages and adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog came home happy, calm, and clearly well taken care of. It’s such a relief knowing there’s someone I can fully trust with my fur baby. I’ll absolutely be booking with Samantha again. Thank you for everything!”
“Melissa was great! Our pup really loved her dogs and in the photos and videos he seemed so happy! We were really worried about leaving him for two weeks as it was the first time being away from him for so long. Would definitely use Melissa as a sitter again!”
“Michelle was a Godsend!!! I was referred to her for a last minute dog sitter. The moment I met her I knew she truly loves dogs. Michelle put my mind at ease and I knew Rocki would be in excellent hands. Rocki is normally standoffish and LOVED her immediately after meeting her. She sent pictures, videos, and updates throughout the night. Rocki is very scared of thunderstorms and she petted her throughout the night to keep her calm. I will definitely use her again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!”
“Super caring and considerate. She took such good care of my pup and was very attentive and friendly. She sent regular pictures and videos and I knew my dog was happy eating and well taken care of”
“Lu boarded our dog and cat for a few days. Everything went great! He and his family are wonderful people and they took excellent care of our pets. We received daily updates with photos, and there was great communication. We are very satisfied with the experience and will call on them again next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend.”

“I had a great experience with Tina! She took the time to meet Summer on short notice before taking care of her. She sent pictures and updates twice a day and I could tell Summer had a great time. She also has a fenced backyard where Summer enjoyed playing fetch and getting her zoomies out. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“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.”
“Anna went above and beyond the call of duty for myself and my dog. The retractable leash I provided broke on one of her walks and without hesitation she went out to get another leash for future walks. My flight coming back was delayed and she stayed up late for me to arrive to pick up. She checked in everyday with updates and photos on how things were going. Anna was super tentative and detail oriented with my pets routine and needs. She made the experience for myself and my pet very comforting and assuring throughout the duration of the stay. If you're looking for a genuinely good hearted and trustworthy sitter then Anna is for you. I would recommend her to anybody.”
“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! They also brought so many toys, a cat tree, and cat hideaway spots for my cat. My cat Lucki didn’t want to leave he really liked it there and it’s like his second home now😊 will definitely be rebooking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter or boarding service! ❤️”

“Michelle was wonderful! Our dog did great with her and her family while we were away. We got lots of photos and updates. Will definitely use again for our next trip away”

Highly recommend her services, and we’ll definitely be using her the next time we’re away”

About: I’ve dealt with cats my whole life. I’ve owned cats as well as worked with cats. I’ve worked with cats at a day care that would board and currently work with cats that come from long flights or need to be out on to a plane. I also have a kitty of my own which I had since she was 4 weeks old. I learned how to bottle feed a kitten by being able to bottle feed her since she was so young when we found her.
“Anna was a huge help! She was able to accommodate a last minute drop in visit request after another sitter had to unexpectedly drop out. She was very responsive to communications and was great with sending daily updates! I felt at ease with knowing Tini was in good hands. Would highly recommend!”
“Patricia was great with my cat, Skitty! We hired her to do drop-ins to set up the auto-feeders, clean up his litterbox, and play and cuddle with him. She is very communicative and sent lots of photos, which I appreciate so much. She made sure to update me on other things going on in the house as well. I would highly recommend her for cat sitting. Thank you so much, Patricia!”
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.
About: I looked at cats like I looked at the cool kids at school; I desperately wanted the approval but I didn't want them to know that. How could such aloof creatures be so cool?! Someone at work brought in kittens from a litter nearby, and I instantly bonded with the tiny one that crawled into my lap named Bear. Suddenly I loved all cats, and have had the pleasure to share my time on Earth with 3 amazing little spirits. My calm demeanor seems to help me be recognized as "cat trustworthy" as a friend once pointed out. I think sometimes that - and a love of all animals - is all you need.
“Ana is the best sitter I've ever booked on Rover for my cat Romo! She is incredibly thorough and shared so many pictures, updates, etc. She went above and beyond to provide the best possible care for him. I am definitely planning on booking her again if she is available for any future pet sitting needs. She's the best!!”
“This is the first time we've used Rover and previously always had the benefit of a family member to watch Cinni when away. With only a couple of weeks, we suddenly needed to find an alternative. After scouring reviews on Rover we contacted Lisa M, who very fortunately for us was available. Lisa M arrived promptly at the schedule time each day to care for Cinni and provided thorough updates that quickly set our minds at ease and provided us with some great photos of our kitty. Furthermore, Lisa M was able to successfully medicate Cinni each visit, and those cat owners whose pets require medication know how challenging this can be. Based on our experience enthusiastically recommend Lisa M for anyone else who needs a cat sitter and will be contacting her as soon as I schedule our next trip to ensure she is available to care for Cinni.”
“Grace was fantastic with sky . Came early every day,took pictures and we spoke on phone. Litter box was clean everyday and sky ate well. Grace came to meet sky 3 weeks before her work day and met me and sky ! I would use her again and highly recommende you do as well !”
“Samantha and Jerry were fantastic. Zara, our cat, was happy and well cared for when we came home. We got great pictures of her being brushed, eating, and drinking throughout their visits. Would 100% recommend.”

About: Hi! I’ve had cats most of my life and there is nothing sweeter than coming home to a purring kitty at your feet! I’ve had very affectionate cats and some more independent, but I’m the end, all want love! One of my most sweetest fur babies was my cat, Shadow Madeline. She was a beautiful black princess, with white on her paws and on her belly. She had a great personality and was so regal! I adored her!

About: What truly sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience as a devoted pet parent — especially with senior dogs and emotionally sensitive pets. I cared for my beloved senior dog Rocki for 14 years, supporting him through every stage of life, including the extra patience, gentleness, and attentiveness senior dogs need. Today, I share my life with my dog River and also help care for my partner’s 16-year-old senior dog, so I am very comfortable with senior care, slower mobility, routine-based needs, and gentle handling. I’m highly attentive to body language, emotional comfort, and stress signals, which helps me support anxious, sensitive, or aging dogs in a calm and reassuring way. My home provides a safe, structured, and loving environment where dogs can feel secure and relaxed. I’m also patient and consistent with younger dogs, helping reinforce routines, calm behavior, and positive habits through gentle guidance and structure. Every dog in my care is treated like family with safety, emotional awareness, patience, and genuine love. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I structure my days around consistent walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and calm rest periods for my own dog, River, as well as my partner’s senior dog. Because caring for animals is already part of my everyday routine, I’m able to provide dependable, attentive, and structured care for pets staying with me. I prioritize supervision, emotional comfort, and routine so every dog feels safe, relaxed, and cared for throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like family in a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow each dog’s normal routine closely, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of rest and comfort. I pay close attention to body language, emotional needs, and stress signals to ensure every dog feels secure and relaxed. My home includes a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, cozy indoor rest areas, and close supervision throughout the day. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s established routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide gentle, attentive care, ensure safety, and send regular updates with photos so pet parents always feel reassured while they’re away.
“My fiancé and I were passing through the area and had to attend a funeral on the way to vacation.

I work remote, so I can take my laptop anywhere and work from everywhere. Plus my job is full of fellow pet lovers who all understands whenever I had to take my own dogs to the vet for instance. I recently had to put my little buddy down :-( and would love to get to help others take care of their own doggies. In my home I have a fenced in yard. I also love to take dogs on walks and meet other doggies, assuming they’re friendly. As far as meals are concerned, all of my dogs had specialized diets, so food was kept separate and prepared accordingly.
“Lisa was great! She was very focused on learning every detail she could about Malcolm ahead of the walk, and even came to meet us before we confirmed. It was a nasty, cold rainy day and Lisa showed up on time, with a smile and ready to roll! We will definitely be seeing her again!”
About: -Understands basic incentivizing principles for dogs -Good frame for lifting heavy dogs/objects if need be -Knows the petting sweet spot -Notre Dame Student with 3.9 GPA This summer, I am dedicating my time to service at the Mary Brennan INN soup kitchen, with flexible hours on the weekdays. I usually go to the gym in the morning around 8-9am, and would love to get extra steps in whenever possible (ie walking dogs)! I perform thorough inspection to ensure my client’s home is free of pet droppings and/or potential messes. I ensure the pet has eaten their appropriately measured food, and check for any potential signs of distress or illness. One of my goldendoodles passed in 2024, but was able to stay with us a little longer because I noticed her lethargy early.

About: I have always been an animal lover my whole life and treat my dogs as my own children! I have over 13 years of experience with puppies, adult, and senior dogs, as well as with dogs with special needs such as allergies or anxiety. I have trained my own dog as a service dog, leveraging positive reinforcement techniques and a deep understanding on dog behaviors. Friends and family know they can always rely on me to walk, bathe, feed and love their pets like my own! You’ll have peace of mind knowing that I truly care about their well-being and make sure they are taken care of in the best way possible for them and you. I have an open schedule since I work from home and can be available all day for frequent walks and feeding! I also am happily able to provide overnight stays at your home and customize care from crate sleeping to letting them sleep in bed with me. I have my own vehicle in case of emergencies, and also love to take pets on fun adventures in nature if that is something that they love. I have a friendly labradoodle puppy who is happy to play with your dogs, but I can also provide solo walks/play if that is preferred. For overnight stays I will follow your routines and if your pet is a clinger, I will be by their side 24/7! I am well versed in doggy body language, so you can trust that I’ll keep up whatever makes them happy and can also recognize if they need space or aren’t feeling so well. Communication is key, so you’ll be provided with frequent photos and videos of your pet family members enjoying their lives to the fullest!

“I had a great experience with Tina! She took the time to meet Summer on short notice before taking care of her. She sent pictures and updates twice a day and I could tell Summer had a great time. She also has a fenced backyard where Summer enjoyed playing fetch and getting her zoomies out. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

“I had a great experience with Von’s dog boarding service. What really stood out was the consistent communication—Von sent pictures and videos every day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was well cared for and comfortable. At the end of each week, Von also provided a thoughtful summary update, which was a nice touch and showed real attention to detail. I appreciated knowing not just that my dog was okay, but how they were doing overall. On top of that, Von went above and beyond by celebrating my dog’s birthday with special cookies. That extra gesture meant a lot and really shows how much they care. Reliable, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do—I would definitely recommend Von and will be using their service again.”
