“Both Wenxu and her husband were great with my puppy Marvin, they made sure to keep me updated with pictures and videos all day, and was always available to answer any of my questions. Will definitely be using her again to take care of my dog.”
“Denise is amazing & super sweet! she took such good care of our sweet Melo. She sent us pictures often & took him places. We were so happy to see how well he was taken care of after our bad experience with a boarding facility. Melo loves her & we can’t wait to use her in the future!”
“I had such a wonderful experience with her watching my dogs! She did an outstanding job and kept me updated throughout the entire stay with regular messages and lots of adorable photos. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were happy, safe, and well cared for. She was kind, reliable, and clearly loves animals. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again! ❤️🐾”
“Sharon is a great dog sitter. Fortunately, her son was home for the holiday this week and he paid a lot of attention to Snowy. I received picture updates the entire time I was away and Sharon was very, very responsive to my queries. Will definitely use her services again!”
“Heeyoung did a great job with Benson and Chloe and took great care of them. We were so grateful to have found her. We highly recommend Heeyoung as she loves dogs and sent photos and videos for the duration of our trip. Thank you Heeyoung!”
“Ollie had a great stay with Alissa! She was very communicative and Ollie seemed to have a great time. Very conveniently located near the Hicksville train station. Would happily book with her again.”
“"The angelic dog whisperer." Angela is just one of a kind. She reads dogs easier than some people read their own minds. My Chase loved her so much that he regretted coming home to what I thought was a good home. Pamela's place and care is well beyond good. It's doggie nirvana. I'm looking forward to creating a short trip so I can send him back and see his anticipation when I roll up to her house.”
“Michael was an awesome sitter for my adorable playful (at times needy) puppers! I received daily updates and pictures of them having a good time. Michael had great communication and was very responsive which I was appreciative of since I was so far away. I'll definitely be using Michael's services again, my puppers had a great time :)”
“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”
“Sara is a wonderful dog sitter, and I feel so lucky to have her taking care of Cosmo. She's incredibly thoughtful, caring, and attentive with him, and her whole family is amazing. Cosmo always has the best time with them! Sara is also extremely reliable and flexible, making everything so easy and stress-free for me. I couldn't recommend her more highly”
“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.”
“Danielle was an absolute godsend and Tiifu settled in with her so beautifully! She was very flexible and accommodating with Tiifu's needs. We are so pleased to have found a fill-in mum for our baby ?”
“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! ❤️”
“Yaina is absolutely wonderful. She cared for Oscar like he was her own, going above and beyond to make sure he was safe, happy, and comfortable. I can't begin to describe how lucky I was to find her, and how responsible, caring, and genuine she is. If I could give her 10 stars I would.”
“Chiclet could not have been in better hands. Dawn took such good care of her and eased any concerns I had by providing updates and pictures. Very accommodating and seems to really be a dog-lover. Would give 10 stars if I could. Excellent sitter. Thank you, Dawn.”
“This was peanuts second time staying with Judy. She’s so sweet and caring. I feel so comfortable and worry free knowing peanut is in good hands. Judy sends me pics to reassure he is fine and having a good time. I highly recommend her for your furry babies.”
“Jennifer is excellent. It was her first time taking care of Leo and everything went great. She checked in daily with me. I will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Nachay is the BEST! Always sent pictures and videos every single day. She loves them like their own. Thank you for going above and beyond! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Christopher and his family was phenomenal to my dog. She absolutely fell in love with Christopher’s mother and they were caring, attentive, and a home away from home for my dog. Thank you Christopher for being a fantastic host :)”

“Lindsay did a great job caring for our 3 cats. She contacted us every day and sent us pictures. Even in the heavy rain she made it to our home. She also cleaned up when one of our cats got sick and she also cleaned up dry food that the cats knocked over. We highly recommend Lindsay for your cat sitting needs.”
“We knew Valerie from our days of volunteering at Pets4Luv so we knew our furbabies would be in great care since she loves them all! Valerie was prompt, communicated with us on how our cats were doing, played with them and gave them treats too! Our minds were at ease while we were on vacation knowing they were being well-cared for. I would definitely ask Valerie to take care of them again!”
“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!”
“Stephanie is an absolute sweetheart! I could tell she treated Saint with so much care, as if he was her own pet. ( which I love ) I will definitely be using her again for her help in the future. Not only is Stephanie nice and friendly, but she followed all the directions I left for her. Thanks 🙏”
About: For two years, I’ve cared for friends’ dogs through walks, drop-ins, and longer stays. I’ll make sure your pup gets the exercise, attention, and care they need while keeping you updated every step of the way. I am more than happy to spend weekends with your pets so you can go and have weekend away and know they are well taken care of! For dogs, I always make sure they are hydrated and fed first (unless there is a specific routine) then we go into a walk and some play if they’re up to it! For the cats, I make sure they’re hydrated and fed usually after a play session so they feel satisfied and can rest easily.
About: I have cat sit for family friends for over 5 years. I can come and play/spend time with them and/or simply check in to make sure they have everything they need. I can give oral medicine as well if needed!
“Jessica did a great job watching our 2 cats for a couple of days. She kept us updated with how they were doing and sent us daily pictures. We came home to 2 very happy cats.”
“Ella is fantastic!! I needed someone to administer subq fluids & medication to my senior tom cat while I'm away from work. Ella has done an excellent job with him everytime she comes. It gives me great peace of mind to know he's being well cared for <3 Thank you Ella!”
“Jessica was wonderful! We were gone for a week and nervous about our boys being left alone. She sent 10 pictures each drop in, and went above and beyond. The day we lost power while we were away, she came over and made sure they were ok. Thank you so much Jessica!”
“Janhvi was excellent. The experience felt luxurious with the way she operated. Never missed a visit, pics, vids and full report every time. Would definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Ozzy was an amazing sitter for my four cats! My girlfriend and I felt at ease while away visiting family knowing that he was checking in on our cats, and even giving my diabetic cat his meds. All the cats loved Ozzy and I would highly recommend booking with him!”
“Victoria took care of my fur baby for 10days while I was away. She was responsive, reliable, and very flexible as my travel plans kept changing. Even during a snowstorm, she showed up as scheduled. I really appreciate her clear communication and reliability. Thank you for making my trip stress-free!”

“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.

“Jennifer was great! when I dropped off my pooch I was so nervous I couldn't get past the stop sign.... and I was having him sat so I could enjoy a spa day. at the ultimate spa palace spa castle in queens ny! this was my 1st time leaving my baby with a stranger. well Jennifer reassured me with both texts and photos thought the entire time I was away. my pup mink loves his time there with her pup and family. when we got home he knocked out for the entire night. 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!”
“Wendy and her husband took great care of my dog and sent me updates during the day. Zoe can be shy and sensitive at first with new people, but she warmed up to them so quickly! Their dog Hero is so cute and playful as well. I would recommend her, and Zoe looks forward to her next daycare there!”

“Nachay is a great sitter! She was so responsive when we first selected her, prior to the appointment. She asked specifics about feeding instructions, medications and any concerns about the dogs and their needs. She is very professional. Her home was well outfitted to keep dogs within well appointed areas of the home for their comfort and safety. She is well versed in safe introductions to her customer's dogs with her dogs. She has gated areas if, for any reason, there is a concern and dogs need their own space. She has a nice fenced yard too. Would use her services again!”

I will definitely use her again if I’m in the area and highly recommend her!”

Vanessa and her husband were fantastic, they were so flexible for our schedule and helpful to watch Jameson for only a few hours on a Sunday.

About: I’ve been around pets all my life and have a lose cared for them. I treat all the fur babies with love and as if they are my own ❤️ I do work from home so I am able to give the fur babies attention and take them for walks I work from home and have lots of flexibility. This allows me to give your fur babies the attention they need. I am able to take them on walks and take time to play with them as well. I live in an apartment but I allow pets to roam free in my home. I do have blankets and toys as well for your pets. My apartment complex has lots of grass where they can run and play as well. If you require your pet to be in a crate I can do that as well.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Hicksville
About: I've taken care of dogs of all sizes ever since I was 12. My own or those family members. Everything from dog-walking, dog-sitting, and more. Currently working a part-time, so Mondays through Wednesdays before 11:30am, but full availability Thursday through Sunday! Can be pretty flexible, especially if you let me know in advance. Will usually first greet/play with them for a bit, followed by taking them for a walk and then either play with them more or just keep them company should they not be up for it. Will also feed them if necessary, of course.
“Rachel has been amazing with Leo! He truly enjoys her company and walking with her! She’s got it down to a science with him, he’s a Frenchie and gives a hard time to walk but she’s been able to get him moving! Thank you Rachel for taking care of Leo when I have long days! You’re appreciated!”
“Lindsay was great with my dogs. She went above and beyond to make my dogs feel safe. She was on time and took good care of my dogs who can be high maintenance at times. I recommend her and would definitely rebook with her again.”
“Ella is such an amazing caregiver! She was so unbelievably responsible and thoughtful. She took notes on our pitbul and asked what his likes and dislikes were. She would leave us little check-in notes when she would visit and walk our pup. She will be my go to pup sitter forever! We felt so comfortable and most importantly our pup felt safe and happy with her.”
“Jada was the best. She came every day on time to take out bully. She was responsible and kept me informed if anything was wrong with bully. She was sweet and caring to bully. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Stella is always so happy to see Michael ! Always on time and able to handle her puppy energy. He even took her out on Thanksgiving in the rain since I am out of town. I am so glad to have him around when I have to go away for a while, it is always a pleasure working with him!”
About: Hi! I am an experienced pet sitter with over 10 years of animal experience. I studied animal science as an undergrad and will be starting veterinary school this winter. I have also worked in veterinary clinics over the past few years, providing me with experience in administering medications and providing care for animals with specific needs. I am comfortable caring for animals of all ages, shapes, and sizes! I'm a fairly active person who loves the outdoors, so I am always up for long walks or simply playing in the yard. I have some extra time before starting veterinary school, so I have a very flexible schedule that I am looking forward to filling with your furry family members! I currently have a very flexible schedule before I begin veterinary school this winter, so I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide consistent, reliable care for your pets throughout the week, including weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With my experience in veterinary clinics and animal care, I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific care instructions, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.
“Sam has been walking Rosie 4 times a week for the past few months. I am so happy to have found her on Rover - she is absolutely fantastic - reliable, sweet, smart, and she knows how to deal with my stubborn, independent, freakishly strong girl. If anybody is looking for the most competent, wonderful dog walker, Sam is the one!”
“Alec was highly recommended to me and I am so happy to have found him! He clearly loves animals, my dog Remy was thrilled. And he was really flexible with regards to my last minute request. Looking forward to using him again in the future!”

“Karina was amazing from beginning to end. I felt a little skeptical about leaving my fur child with anyone unfamiliar. From texts before the drop off, Karina made me feel comfortable. I received texts, pics and videos of my dog continuously throughout the day to see my dog, adjusting to a new person and environment. I could see my bully taking to Karina very easily which gave me peace of mind while away. Karina was very attentive to my fur baby and making sure that she was her priority while under her care. When I picked up my dog the first thing I asked after expressing my appreciation was, if I ever have to leave my dog with anyone again, can I look you up on Rover and she said yes! I highly recommend anyone leaving your fur child with Karina who is attentive and sensitive to your pet adjusting to new people and surroundings. Amazing pet sitter. 5 stars ⭐️”
“He was wonderful with my baby. He sent pics and or videos often. My baby came back home spoiled and barking for constant rubs so i'mĺĺĺl sure he rubbed her a lot and she reallt enjoyed it. I will definitely use his services again.”
“Jordan is pleasant and responsive. Latke was returned happy and healthy. He let me know that he had another booking that would overlap mine, which turned out OK but would have been an issue if the dogs didn’t get along. His apartment is small and it would have been difficult to keep the dogs separated. Also I would have appreciated more photos, especially on the first day with the other dog. He responded promptly with pictures when prompted. Overall, I would recommend him.”
“Left Rosie overnight to try it out before our vacation in March. I mostly appreciated the videos and photos that were texted to me throughout her stay. I'm a worrier when it comes to my beloved Pooch. She had a great time playing and being pampered by Denis and Marina. I would highly recommend them to any dog owner.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Pumpkin and for being so accomadative! Britany was easy to contact, super accommodating, patient and interactive with our dog! Will definitely use her again”

My girl took to her right away and we received daily pics/videos. I would use her again without hesitation and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to care for your fur baby! Simply amazing. I cannot say enough good things about her!!”
