Highly-rated overnight sitters - Godeffroy
“Sandra was amazing with our dog Lola while my family and I were on vacation! She was incredibly kind and on top of everything. She sent us pictures almost every day, including photos of Lola relaxing in her room, which really helped us feel at ease. Whenever I asked how Lola was doing, she replied right away. She treated Lola like part of her family, and Lola clearly felt comfortable and happy there. We’ll definitely be booking with Sandra again. Highly recommended!”
“Alexis took great care of our dogs and provided regular updates. She was thoughtful, accommodating, and considerate with all of our plans. Would absolutely recommend her and would definitely book with her again!”
“This is my 3rd time leaving our precious pup with Daniel & his wife. They are such kind people and I always feel comfortable with leaving my pup with them. They are very professional and have great communication.”
“Kim was very quick to respond to me whenever I wanted to check in and see how Ryder was doing. She was very friendly and welcoming. She sent me pictures and made me feel comfortable that my baby was in good hands. I would highly recommend her. This was my first time using a dog sitter and I am very pleased with the entire experience. Thank you again Kim for everything. I would use her again if I need a sitter.”
“Carla was awesome! I had a last-minute and unexpected opportunity to take my girlfriend and her grandson away for an overnight trip and didn't have a plan for the pups. Carla came through with a same-day booking request and the dogs had a great time. She was very responsive, and based on how well the boys slept when they got home, they had a great time playing with her dog while there!”
“Highly recommend. Johnathon has a lovely space where my pups had a blast. Loved the pictures he sent of them while I was away at my wedding. My Luna is an anxious dog and yet she did great. Definitely would rebook from here on out.”
“So accommodating and friendly. This was our first time boarding, and pretty instantly we knew our pup was in good hands! The pictures were so appreciated, and we’re incredibly grateful for the care our dog was given.”
“Hanelle has to be the nicest person but on top of that the best person to trust your pet with. She went above and beyond special care for our little Ginger and spoiled her with homemade biscuits on top of all the love she gave her. She exercised her regularly and listened to any additional information we gave her! Certainly recommend her and will be using her again”
“Debra is so awesome, made our pup feel right at home! We will definitely be using her again in the future when we go out of town. Our pup even slept on their bed like he does at home.??”
“This was the best dog sitting experience we have ever had, by far!! Jake and Mischa went above and beyond anything we could have expected, and took great care of our pup. We have a Saint Bernard who can be a bit much for some, but Jake and Mischa were amazing with him! They also put our minds at ease with how well they handled his food allergies and medicine. Finally, they were great with sending pictures/videos and keeping us updated. Archie can’t wait to go back and play with his buddy Chopper!”
“I was a little nervous leaving my puppy for the first time, but Cristina was great with our precious fur baby Milo. Constantly sending pictures and videos. She was quick to respond with any of my concerns. She gave me a peace of mind. I highly recommend her services.”
“Lin was amazing with Peri. He was very happy in all the photos and videos I received! They spent a lot of time together walking and playing. I ran into a bit of an issue with my painter needing more days and Lin immediately stepped up and offered to keep Peri another two days. What a lifesaver ! She’s wonderful and sweet. Do not hesitate to leave your babies with her. They’ll be loved 🥰”
“Jasmine is such a dog lover and so caring. She looked after our Rocky for an entire week and treated him like he was one of her own. Sent us photos and updates while overseas can’t thank her enough for doing so. Will surely book her again as we finally found our dog watcher. Thanks Jadyn for everything”
“My dog Griffin has been to other Rover sitters and this was the first time he showed me that he was completely comfortable from the moment he walked in the door at our meet and greet! He walked around the place like it was his own home! Amy and her family took care of Griffin for a 2 night stay. I was so happy he would be able to play with her kids and the other dogs there, as he loves attention from all beings. I will look to see if Amy is available any time Griffin needs sitting again! Thanks again, Amy!”
“Andrea is a beautiful, intelligent and compassionate professional. She cares about the animals she looks after while 'pet parents' are away. She reduces anxieties naturally by listening carefully and observing astutely. Hygge had never been away or 'boarded' for pet sitting prior to my experience with Andrea. At all times she was communicative, caring and purposeful in her interactions with Hygge, who probably worried about being in a new home away from home for a few days on many levels. My transportation plans were delayed due to a severe storm that prevented my scheduled pick up, and Andrea was patient, reasonable and loving during my own stress about being stuck in NYC beyond my control for the pick up of my dog after traveling for a few days. She worked with me every step of the way, and the boarding experience was a total success even with transportation issues. Hygge returned home happy, healthy, well-nourished and satisfied with renewed confidence in his ability to work with another lovely family in our sweet community in a spirit of trust and sucess. All in all, I would recommend Andrea to work with anyone who has pets they love and want to broaden the scope of their pet's world by allowing Andrea to work with them and care for them. Andrea also understands the complexities of rescue animals, and will work with you so all are informed and kept in safe environments that nourish everyone's positive potential. She is also very pleasant and loving. She is a talented professional and a local treasure to all who come in contact with her.”
“Francesca and John were wonderful! Buddy did very well during his stay. This was his first time ever boarding and I was nervous about how he would do since he is an older dog. They kept me updated all the time and assured me he was relaxed and not anxious. So glad we found them!”

“Savana was such a blessing while I was away on vacation for a week. She took such good care of my cat, it was obvious that she really loves animals and genuinely cares about their wellbeing. She is beyond kind, thoughtful, and professional. Savana sent me photos of my cat every morning and evening, it brought me so much comfort having left my baby for a week. I will 100% be requesting her again for any further vacations. Such a wonderful human and provided the best experience.”
“Dallas was wonderful - super clear in communication and responsive. She gave great visit summaries and photos, really helps when you’re away from home! Our cats seemed to really like her, would definitely book with Dallas again!!”
“Kim was a great sitter for my special needs cat. She gave him the care and attention he needed and made sure I was updated on whether he’d gone to the bathroom. I also appreciate her willingness to care for him over the holidays - it was a huge help since we could not be home with him!”
“Vicky was a terrific caretaker for my cat Meadow. She asked lots of relevant questions to make sure Meadow’s stay was the best it could be. She kept me updated with notes and photos, and was just a lovely host for my beloved cat.”

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I grew up with dogs, cats, fish, lizards, and a chinchilla. My friends made a joke that my house was a zoo with all the animals we had. I love animals and I can’t imagine my life without a furry pet. I’m home for the summer before my job starts in September. Free during the weekends or weekdays for boarding, house sitting, or walking. I’m very flexible for hours. My dog is very good off leash in our backyard. We take her on hikes all the time to tire her out. My cats are older and have to take medication but they love snuggling up with my dog.
“Isabella was wonderful! She stopped over a few days prior to meet and learn about what our pets needed while we were away which I appreciated. We will definitely book her again next time we are out of town!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets my entire life, and my family and friends look to me if they need me to dog sit (or pet sit) when they’re away or unavailable. I love animals, and so getting to take care of furry friends is an absolute treat!! I’m currently attending college, so monday and wednesday mornings im out of the house from 8-12. any other time, if given enough notice, i can be available for you and your pets! I live in a family home with my dog daisy, who is very friendly and about 14 years old now. She never fails to be entertained, and I love her with all my heart. I will do the same for your pets :)
About: I’ve been certified as a Vet Assistant, I am also currently in school for my license as a Vet Technician. I’m very confident that I will be a safe environment for your furry friends! I’m currently a student so weekends will be more manageable for me, In case of any emergencies of course I can make accommodations during weekdays. I’ve had more than 11 animals my whole life growing up (5 dogs) (4 cats) (2 two fish) I would say I’m extremely experienced in caring for animals. Professionally my experience would be under a year as I am still in school, I live on 67 acres and a large yard which will give your dog enough room to run with the wind and enjoy the fresh air.
About: I’ve had dogs in my family since I was a little girl, for as long as I can remember I have never been scared of them no matter how big or active they are. My first dog outside of my parents how was a husky (crazy decision I know), but training her and seeing her grow has been amazing! I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, shy dogs as well as very active dogs. I’m currently doing Rover as a side job, therefore whenever I’m taking a client I will be home with your dog the entire day except to take the dogs to the park or on walks! I live in an apartment so I don’t have a fence yard, however I live on the first floor and there’s a big yard where I can take the dogs out and play with them. I’m also 5min away from Maple Hill dog park.
About: I am currently in training to become a certified dog trainer. I am able to offer basic and puppy training at this time. I have around 18 years of pet care experience. I have cared for dogs and cats in the past, including elderly and ill pets. I can administer any necessary medications, both oral and injectable. I have also worked for a prominent doggy day care that has locations across the country. I have an acre of fenced in yard for the dogs to run around and get out all of their energy, so you can rest assured they'll be having the time of their life here! I work from home, so I am available whenever you need. I love to spend time with dogs and can be there when you can't!
“This was the 2nd time Paula watched our home & cats. Did a great job, home was left clean and secure. She is a professional and dedicated to the services she provides. Highly recommend.”
“Kristina did an amazing job with our cat Maxie! Although he is very shy and skittish, he warmed up to Kristina almost immediately. She followed our instructions perfectly and actually went above and beyond to make Maxie feel comfortable. The proof is in the pictures she took of herself and Maxie together. He looks completely relaxed and happy. We would not hesitate to ask Kristina back again! She’s amazing.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Godeffroy
About: As a doctor, I’ve spent years caring for people of all ages and I bring that same compassion, patience, and attention to detail to the pets I look after. What sets me apart is my medical background and calm, caring approach to both routine and unexpected situations. I’m comfortable helping with pets who need a bit of extra attention, like seniors, those on medication, or anxious animals, always ensuring they feel safe and cared for. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old, when I started helping my neighbors with their pets while they were away. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments — from playful puppies who need consistency and training, to older dogs who require gentler care and medication on schedule. In the past, I’ve also trained many dogs, focusing on consistency, positive reinforcement, and gentle play to help them learn and have fun. Whether your pet needs structured walks, quiet companionship, or a steady hand during medication time, I’ll treat them like one of my own family members. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m an early riser and make time every day for walks, play, and check-ins. My work schedule is flexible, allowing me to plan visits around each pet’s needs—whether it’s morning exercise, midday drop-ins, or evening companionship. Caring for animals is a relaxing and rewarding part of my week. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I give my own. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, and keep pets safe with close supervision indoors and secure leashes outdoors. I focus on helping pets feel comfortable and calm, especially when their families are away, so they always feel cared for and at ease.
“We had a wonderful experience with Sandra, our Rover sitter! Our dogs were clearly well cared for, and the little extra touches made it even more special — they came home with a star and a goodie bag, which was such a thoughtful surprise. Communication was great, I received pictures and a video of their day. We would absolutely book again!”
“It was Maple's first time with a sitter but Alexis made her so comfortable that she didn't want to leave! We got updates throughout the day and saw that she was doing amazing. I'm thankful for her watching our pup for the day and would definitely book again.”
“If I could give Dawn 100 stars I would!! She was AMAZING taking care of my little Yeti. She was communicating and sending beautiful pictures of him all day. He never eats at strange locations, and he even ate with her. She has a sixth sense for animals!! I'd recommend her everyday.”
“Amy was great! She sent us pictures and agreed to watch Aurora very quickly! Aurora had a great time she played and ran and came home absolutely tired! We will definitely be booking again!”
“Jayne was an exceptional puppy sitter. She treated and loved Daisy as if she were her own. She sent photos to help pass the time and was overly accommodating. I will most definitely bring Daisy back for another visit soon. Thank you!”

“I just want to commend Savana for coming today to walk my puppies on February 6, 2025, even though there was ice and snow throughout the day. I assured Savana the night before not to worry about coming because of the bad weather but because of her care and professionalism, she made it to my home. I cannot say enough, how happy I am with having Savana As my Dog Walker. She is wonderful!!!!”

About: I've loved them all. From guinea pigs to rabbits, hamsters and ferrets, parrots and fish, cats and dogs. I have experience with dogs of many breeds, from German shepherds to Chihuahuas, newfoundlands and jack russells. I try and understand every dog breed to understand their unique needs. No dog is the same! But they all love unconditionally, so I try and give them the same. I have some training in puppies and have experience with puppies as well as elders. I've house sat in the pets homes where I know they are comfortable and can have their routines and environments. I just want to give each pet whatever it is they need. I have had pets since I was born, my first dog being a boxer. Almost never without a dog, but certainly never without a pet. Currently I have a german shepherd/collie mix named Blue. Even at six years old, he has the energy of a puppy! We run every day in a field nearby, sometimes visit the dog park, and have frequent visits with his dog friends. Making sure he is happy and healthy is a daily priority in my life. In the clients home, I get in depth information on their pets routines, food schedules and preparations, walking and play time, and whether they are crated or not. I will follow your instructions to a T.
“Michelle is the best! I needed a sitter last minute and she responded immediately. When I met her I could see she truly loved animals and my pets would be in good hands. Our dog Mocha and Michelle became best buddies right away, and even made friends with our wary cat. Michelle was prompt and kept me up to date with daily pictures. I would definitely recommend her to sit for your fur babies.”

About: I grew up with lots of animals in my house my whole entire life. Everything from birds, reptiles, fish to basic ones such as cats and dogs. In summer I was on farm with horses, cows, pigs, chickens and much more. I have been watching dogs for as long as I remember. Both in my house as well as other homes. I do rescues for a company that specializes in pit bulls. I love to spend time, play, teach and get to know the four legged friends. Life without cats, dogs and other furry animals would be really boring. It is an honor to be there to take care of your pet when you are in need. I'm happy to help with last minute emergencies.

“Alexis took great care of our dogs and provided regular updates. She was thoughtful, accommodating, and considerate with all of our plans. Would absolutely recommend her and would definitely book with her again!”
“Kim was very quick to respond to me whenever I wanted to check in and see how Ryder was doing. She was very friendly and welcoming. She sent me pictures and made me feel comfortable that my baby was in good hands. I would highly recommend her. This was my first time using a dog sitter and I am very pleased with the entire experience. Thank you again Kim for everything. I would use her again if I need a sitter.”
“Carla was awesome! I had a last-minute and unexpected opportunity to take my girlfriend and her grandson away for an overnight trip and didn't have a plan for the pups. Carla came through with a same-day booking request and the dogs had a great time. She was very responsive, and based on how well the boys slept when they got home, they had a great time playing with her dog while there!”
“So accommodating and friendly. This was our first time boarding, and pretty instantly we knew our pup was in good hands! The pictures were so appreciated, and we’re incredibly grateful for the care our dog was given.”
“Debra is so awesome, made our pup feel right at home! We will definitely be using her again in the future when we go out of town. Our pup even slept on their bed like he does at home.??”
“This was the best dog sitting experience we have ever had, by far!! Jake and Mischa went above and beyond anything we could have expected, and took great care of our pup. We have a Saint Bernard who can be a bit much for some, but Jake and Mischa were amazing with him! They also put our minds at ease with how well they handled his food allergies and medicine. Finally, they were great with sending pictures/videos and keeping us updated. Archie can’t wait to go back and play with his buddy Chopper!”
“Lin was amazing with Peri. He was very happy in all the photos and videos I received! They spent a lot of time together walking and playing. I ran into a bit of an issue with my painter needing more days and Lin immediately stepped up and offered to keep Peri another two days. What a lifesaver ! She’s wonderful and sweet. Do not hesitate to leave your babies with her. They’ll be loved 🥰”
“Jasmine is such a dog lover and so caring. She looked after our Rocky for an entire week and treated him like he was one of her own.

“My dog Griffin has been to other Rover sitters and this was the first time he showed me that he was completely comfortable from the moment he walked in the door at our meet and greet! He walked around the place like it was his own home! Amy and her family took care of Griffin for a 2 night stay. I was so happy he would be able to play with her kids and the other dogs there, as he loves attention from all beings. I will look to see if Amy is available any time Griffin needs sitting again! Thanks again, Amy!”
“Andrea is a beautiful, intelligent and compassionate professional. She cares about the animals she looks after while 'pet parents' are away. She reduces anxieties naturally by listening carefully and observing astutely. Hygge had never been away or 'boarded' for pet sitting prior to my experience with Andrea. At all times she was communicative, caring and purposeful in her interactions with Hygge, who probably worried about being in a new home away from home for a few days on many levels. My transportation plans were delayed due to a severe storm that prevented my scheduled pick up, and Andrea was patient, reasonable and loving during my own stress about being stuck in NYC beyond my control for the pick up of my dog after traveling for a few days. She worked with me every step of the way, and the boarding experience was a total success even with transportation issues. Hygge returned home happy, healthy, well-nourished and satisfied with renewed confidence in his ability to work with another lovely family in our sweet community in a spirit of trust and sucess. All in all, I would recommend Andrea to work with anyone who has pets they love and want to broaden the scope of their pet's world by allowing Andrea to work with them and care for them. Andrea also understands the complexities of rescue animals, and will work with you so all are informed and kept in safe environments that nourish everyone's positive potential. She is also very pleasant and loving. She is a talented professional and a local treasure to all who come in contact with her.”
“Francesca and John were wonderful! Buddy did very well during his stay. This was his first time ever boarding and I was nervous about how he would do since he is an older dog. They kept me updated all the time and assured me he was relaxed and not anxious. So glad we found them!”
“Beckie and her family were the perfect home away from home for our high-energy 2yo German Shepherd. She has a beautiful and massive back yard and provided photo updates throughout the stay. We’ll happily trust Beckie with Echo on future trips and highly recommend her!”
“Katarzyna or Kat is awesome and very knowledgeable about the needs of pit bulls. She was very attentive, punctual and my dog seemed to love his stay with her and her family. I was very worried and at first didn't want to leave him, but I could feel and see that he was in great hands. She also sent lots of photos. She is awesome and if I find the need to need a sitter again will definitely look her up!”
“We had to leave our new dog with Morgan for a few days since we had a wedding to go to. We were worried about leaving him so soon after getting him. We were happy that he would be able to play with other dogs and when we came to pick him up we saw him having a good time outside! We would be more than happy to use Morgan again for any future needs we have.”
“This was my first time using rover and I could not have been happier. Fiona was so sweet and treated my Lucy like her own! I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands while we were out of town. I’ll definitely be using her again!!”

I have many flexible scheduling options for short walks or check-ins while you're away at work, or long terms pet care while you're away on vacation. As a professional pet sitter, I understand that each pet has its own unique needs and personality.

When I arrive at your home, I will first greet your pet and provide them with food and water, as well as any medications or supplements they require. I will also spend time playing with your pet, giving them plenty of attention and affection. During my visit, I will take your dog for a walk, giving them the exercise and fresh air they need to stay healthy and happy.

I will also make sure your home is safe and secure, checking that all doors and windows are locked and that your pet has access to any areas they need. Throughout my visit, I will keep you informed of your pet's well-being, sending you updates and photos so you can see how your furry friend is doing. Above all, I will treat your pet with the same care and attention that I would give to my own pets, ensuring they feel loved and well-cared for while you're away.
