There house was very clean and the enclosed backyard was very spacious leaving a lot of room for the dogs to play and secure enough to prevent them from getting out. They sent video and pictures everyday. I would definitely leave my dog with them again in the future.”

“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.”
“Pam did an outstanding job looking after Maggie, our beagle! Pam's real affection for dogs was obvious from the start and her attention to Maggie's well being was top shelf. We really appreciated the pictures and videos showing Maggie to be very comfortable in her environment and well cared for. If Maggie could speak, I am sure she would howl her approval of Pam!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They kept my dog at their home for 2 days, sent updates and pictures, and were kind and attentive. It was clear my dog was happy and well taken care of. I’m very grateful and would absolutely book with them again.”
“Yaina was fantastic! My dog is elderly with some arthritis issues. She took excellent care of him and sent lots of pictures and messages so i could see how he was doing. I highly recommend her!”
“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”
“I was very nervous about leaving my dog with a boarder. I had only left her with relatives. Judy was very helpful. We did a meet and greet beforehand and she took care of my dog. Would definitely use again.”
“Jennifer did such a great job taking care of our little Leia during our wedding weekend! Leia felt at home and didn't want to leave her house when we came by to pick her up! Highly recommend Jennifer if you're looking for a caring and attentive sitter for your pup.”
“Ocean and Blue had the best time with Kayla’s family - they took wonderful care of both dogs and kept all their little quirks in mind. My dogs can be reactive with stranger animals and can also show signs of possessiveness around food and toys, but Kayla’s family were very mindful of this and gave us regular updates even when we weren’t able to respond much. Kayla’s kids are also absolutely wonderful with animals and the parents do a great job of educating and guiding them around each dog’s personalities. Can’t go wrong with trusting your pups with Kayla!”

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.

“Harshita was a great sitter! She performed all her tasks meticulously. I wasn’t worried about my cats while they were under her care. I had peace of mind while my family and I traveled overseas. I also appreciated how she went above and beyond to tidy up the house before the booking reservation was over. She took out the garbage, cleaned up around the litter and food area, swept and did the dishes. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely rebook her for the future!”
“Lisa did an amazing job looking after our precious kitty. My cat Sophie is a shy one but she made fast friends with Lisa right away.

“It usually takes our chihuahua, Louie, a while to warm up to new people. However, he warmed up to Patricia right away!

Michelle informed me that there would be another dog there and wanted to know if I was ok with it which I was. Michelle texted me in the am to confirm drop off time. She sent updates and pictures throughout the day. She was also fine when I had to pick Charlie up later than I originally said. Charlie was fine when I went to pick him up. I plan on using Michelle again”

About: I provide more than just pet care—I offer companionship, safety, and heartfelt attention to every animal I meet. Having grown up with dogs, I understand how each one has its own unique personality. Over the years, I’ve loved and cared for a playful pug, a loyal Labrador, and now share my life with the most amazing Golden Retriever. With this experience, your furry friend is in trusted, capable hands. Whether they need active playtime, cozy cuddles, or a calm presence, I always tailor my care to fit their individual needs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I plan my days around the needs of the pets I care for. I make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they deserve. I’m flexible with scheduling and committed to being reliable, so you can count on me to be there when your pet needs care the most. I am fully remote, so an always home with these guys. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play. If you're comfortable, my friendly dog would love to play with yours—but only with your okay. If not, no worries—he knows the routine and will happily stay separate.

There is tremendous care and intention that Sarah puts into her services and it shows. Leela was at ease being with her, and we will be dropping Leela off to hang out with Sarah, her children, and her pup every time we are in Long Island. Her daughter also drew leela two beautiful drawings and one can tell your pup will be treated like family. She is also very attentive and well versed in caring for a puppy’s needs.”

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 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

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them most of my life, so being attentive to their needs comes naturally to me. I treat every pet like they’re my own; making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and pay close attention to routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just giving them the extra affection they’re used to. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins for peace of mind. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious dogs and take the time to help them feel at ease. My fiancé, Eric has also always grown up with dogs and was responsible for taking care of dogs and his cat while growing up and they all lived will into their senior years. He is great with more high energy and active dogs, going on long walks, or runs and hikes with them. I work full time where I commute Monday-Friday. Weekends I’m home. My Fiancé also works full time but he gets out a little earlier than I do. For weekend stays we are available to give your furry family the most attention and care. If there is need during the week I’m usually away from home for 10 hours during the day including my commute time to and from work. We will walk and feed them before we leave in the morning and as soon as either of us gets home will do the same and then again before bedtime. In our home, pets are cared for in a calm, safe environment. We live on the second floor of a house in a suburban neighborhood with sidewalks, which allows for safe, structured walks. While we don’t have direct yard access, we make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and attention. I also have a senior cat who is naturally shy and takes time to warm up, so I’m very understanding of pets who may be anxious or need a slower, more gentle approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always aim to make them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.

“Lu took care of Choco for 4 days and he was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. He sent photos and videos daily. He was responsive through texts and always replied promptly. Choco had a great time and will be booking again soon! Thank you.”
“My dog seemed like he had an amazing time with Michael. Michael gave him all the attention and care that I really wanted with a sitter. Definitely recommend for your pooch!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They kept my dog at their home for 2 days, sent updates and pictures, and were kind and attentive. It was clear my dog was happy and well taken care of. I’m very grateful and would absolutely book with them again.”
“Yaina was fantastic! My dog is elderly with some arthritis issues. She took excellent care of him and sent lots of pictures and messages so i could see how he was doing. I highly recommend her!”
“I was very nervous about leaving my dog with a boarder. I had only left her with relatives. Judy was very helpful. We did a meet and greet beforehand and she took care of my dog. Would definitely use again.”
“Ocean and Blue had the best time with Kayla’s family - they took wonderful care of both dogs and kept all their little quirks in mind. My dogs can be reactive with stranger animals and can also show signs of possessiveness around food and toys, but Kayla’s family were very mindful of this and gave us regular updates even when we weren’t able to respond much. Kayla’s kids are also absolutely wonderful with animals and the parents do a great job of educating and guiding them around each dog’s personalities. Can’t go wrong with trusting your pups with Kayla!”
“Kate was outstanding from start to finish. She made us feel comfortable with leaving our dog with her and went above and beyond to take care of him. She had her own space separate from other animals she has and stayed there with our dog the entire time. Kate sent us daily updates and made sure he was safe and well taken care of. We were so relieved to find a genuinely nice, caring person that we would book again. Thanks, Kate!”
“I am absolutely so grateful to Vanessa and her family for taking such good care of Prince. They are wonderful. I was a bit nervous because it was going to be my first time leaving Prince overnight with other dogs. I didn’t know what to expect. But they were so reassuring and very clearly so good with all types of dogs. Prince is 1.25 years old and they gave me good insight and advice about his behavior. Very communicative through the whole week. And Prince did so well with the company and had a great time!! He was surrounded by love, cuddles, and attention. Will absolutely work Vanessa and family again if they are free the next time I’m going out of town!”
“I love Sharon and her family! They take such great care of Barry every time! She sends tons of pictures, updating us on our dog. Our dog loves going to their house and playing with their dog and their son.”
“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.”
“well, like all of us, we love our dogs. I am so fortunate to find Vanessa. I felt she treated my pup like it was her own. Every time I saw a video it made me smile. When I came to pick her up, I didn't think she was going to want to come home. I felt like she was at a wonderful sleep weekend camp”
“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!”
“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 a unique situation that lead us to Eric and he was incredibly accommodating. I forgot my dog's bed and he was able to provide one. He took great care of our shepherd and sent us several photos to show us our dog was doing just fine. Eric is a super nice guy to boot! Would highly recommend!”
“Julia was terrific! She and Bailey hit it off right away. Got a bunch of pics with Bailey out for a walk, playing with toys and a restful night sleep. Will use Julia again!”
“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 ⭐️”
“Nicole was amazing!! She took such amazing care of our Brody. She sent daily updates and followed through with every care request we had, down to brushing him and administering eye ointment. She’s is obviously very experienced as our anxious guy had some diarrhea during his stay and she handled it perfectly. She is warm and loving. We will definitely be asking Nicole to watch him again.”
