Highly-rated overnight sitters - Hillcrest
“I cannot recommend Melissa and her family enough. From the moment we had a meet and greet with her, I knew Watson would be in amazing hands! After dropping him off, I was updated multiple times a day with pictures, videos, and updates of him living his absolute best life. There was also so much care taken to accommodate him since he had a recent injury that he’s just out of recovery for. They took care of him as if he was their own, even going for walks in the rain! I’m so grateful to have found people so truly caring and who love animals to take care of my little guy! He is currently sound asleep after an adventure filled few nights! I’ll absolutely be booking again in the future! Thank you all again for being incredible ☺️”
“I needed to board my dog due to an in-law’s allergies, and Ann was available on very short notice. She was so accommodating, was extremely hospitable and kind to my dog, and sent updates and photos by text to me to assure me of how the stay was going. Thank you, Ann! I highly recommend.”
“Another great stay with Cathy! When my pup sees the house she gets excited walking up to the door! We get daily pics and daily reports of how she’s doing. We couldn’t be happier knowing our pup is doing so well. Cathy comes with my highest recommendation!!”
“Rebecca & Rithichai J. Took such great care of our Pup while we were away for the weekend. The communication was great and very prompt, including pictures of her adventures with them. Will definitely be booking again when we need to be away!”
“Bagel had SUCH A WONDERFUL time at Monica’s!! She took great care of our frenchie, he played with Monica’s frenchie and was so happy - big smiles on every photo Monica sent us! She also took Bagel to dog park on Saturday where all dogs had a blast! Monica gave many kisses and snuggles to Bagel, and Bagel was so sad to leave when I came to pick him up. Would definitely come back again, highly recommended!! Thank you Monica.”
“Lisa made Carly's first boarding away from home a loving and pleasant experience. She returned home healthy and happy. Lisa kept in touch and consistantly sent pictures of her time with Carly.”
“Carla was a wonderful host for Smokey, instead of coming home stressed out from the kennel (cage), he came home happy & clearly well taken care of!!! Ty so much Carla! James & Smokey Bear”

“Doreen is the best! Super friendly and took such great care of our senior dog, Layla, who loved it at her home. I would recommend her as a pet sitter to anyone and am so thankful to have found her!”
“We travel frequently for long trips and our usual sitter was not available this time and so we chose to use Rover and found Ankita and her beautiful family . From the time of meet and Greet I knew that I couldn’t have found a better dog loving home for my coco . The love care and affection they showered on coco was evident from the multiple daily updates we received in form of videos and messages . Coco was the happiest puppy ever and I bet she is going to miss them so much - especially their Dog Panther who is such a sweet heart and their little son who became coco’s best friend and companion to play all day :) Coco has found a new second home and we will surely be using them again at our next time away”
“Roberta and Travis were great to work with. Fast communication and our NOAA was happy and exhausted at pick up! She played with their pup Marshall and came home a very content pup! We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Bentley! From the start, she made me feel completely at ease. Bentley was comfortable, happy, and clearly well cared for the entire time. Mary kept in contact with me daily, which I really appreciated, and gave updates that reassured me he was in great hands. She also followed all of my instructions exactly. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive!”
“Thank you so much. Kevin and his family are really kind and welcoming. It was clear that they took great care of our pup. Great communication throughout Jax’s stay with them. We will repeat for sure”
“Thank you Lieb and family for taking such great care of Rocket. I can tell he had a terrific time with you while we were away. And thanks for the pictures and updates etc! We really appreciate your dedication to the dogs.”

“Leaving my animals for any length of time has always been stressful. As they've gotten older they now require medication which changes the level of worry 10 fold. Elizabeth took excellent care of my cats. Delivered medication correctly, and gave them lots of love. Honestly, it's all I could ever ask for.”
“Molly was great with my cat who she boarded for close to two weeks. She sent me regular updates and videos of him. It was also an added bonus that she had her own cats which was delightful company for him.”
“Christy was super helpful and consistent with our cat, Grits while we were away. So great to have the peace of mind that he was well taken care of and to see him getting some company! Thanks, Christy!”
“Amazing as usual! Alyssa always makes sure I’m updated and sends pictures after each visit. I’m so grateful she was available on such short notice and took wonderful care of my cats. Highly highly recommend!”
About: As a kid, my family would often take care of our friend's dogs, but we never had one of our own. Now, I'm a dad of three young humans and one bundle of fluff named Simba. Oh and let's not forget Victoria, our rabbit. We love havinganimals, and we still love watching other people's animals too. I'm also offering to house-sit, and take other people's dogs (either solo or with my Simba) for walks. I mostly work from home and never leave a dog alone while in my care. We take several walks per day, including morning, lunch, and at least two in the evening. I have a comfortable living space, a nice yard area, nice green space and a park nearby. When dogsitting, I take very little space for myself and leave the space better than when I found it.
“Joe is amazing pet sitter! He took such great care of my kitty! He sent pictures and videos of her ! He followed all the instructions to care for her! He also Loves animals! I will definitely hire him again!”
“Kerri goes the extra mile with our pets, making sure all are cared for, fed, and attended to. She responds quickly and has always been available even when last minute. Couldn't recommend Kerri more.”
“Taylor was so great caring for my cat Clifford while I was away! She sent cute updates and photos and gave him plenty of playtime and cuddles. I came home to a happy cat! I would definitely recommend her if you need someone responsible and kind to watch your pet.”
“Stephanie takes great care of our cat Sammy. She’s wonderful with him. He is very shy but when she came to the house he came right out to see her.He loves playing with her! She sends lots of photos and updates on how he’s doing. We feel Sammy is in great hands with Stephanie!”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Caleigh take care of my two Bengal cats for 9 days. She was incredibly punctual and maintained excellent communication throughout the entire time, providing regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. My cats were well taken care of, and I came home to a clean and tidy house. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Marta is the best! She takes such good care of my 2 cats and is super reliable. It is such a nice thing to have peace of mind that my pets are being so well cared for when I'm away. This is our second booking with Marta....she is now one of our favorites”
“Patty went above and beyond to ensure our sweet Remy was taken care of while we were away. She pampered her and was given so much love, we would love to have Patty come back anytime!! And we would recommend her to everyone else too!”
About: I love all types of animals all shapes and sizes and welcome them into my home. I would be honored to have your pet in my care and would treat them as if they were my own. I would provide them with anything they needed and any type of service. I would never mistreat any living thing. I am able to care for animals with any type of special needs or if they need to be given any type of medication. I have a very flexible schedule, so if you needed me on very short notice, I would be there without a doubt. I really hope to be taken into consideration when a family needs their pet to be taken care of. I would be a great choice for your dog! 😊 Also, FYI, the prices on my profile can be negotiated, those were just the default settings so I left them as they were, let me know if you want to discuss different prices, I will be totally fine with that! I currently work at a Doggy Daycare/Pet Hotel so I am very used to being around pets of all shapes and sizes! My usual day consists of picking up after all the dogs, making their food feeding them. And of course, playing with them! my favorite part of my job is when it’s camp time for me and the dogs! I hang out with them in a playroom and we have so much fun that they’re so tired by the end of the day! I have a large, fenced yard with plenty of room for your pet to run around as much as they want! I also have a small cat and a pug. My pug is very friendly and will welcome your doggy with open paws 🥰
About: I’ve lived with very large to very small dogs all my life and care for exotic pets such as snakes and rabbits. Through waitressing and EMS volunteering, I’ve developed a strong work ethic and sense of responsibility that will make me an excellent pet care worker. I currently go to school full time at Harrison high school until 3 pm on weekdays, but will have full availability on weekdays and weekends over the summer. I can currently work all day on weekends and every day after school on weekdays. I will always ask pet parents for a list of specific rules and guidelines to ensure that I provide the best possible care, including instructions for medications and emergency contacts.
“Kathleen was recommended to me by a friend a few months ago and has been consistently reliable and excellent. Unfortunately I am moving out of NY state now, and the last several weeks have been hectic but I am forever grateful for her service!”
“Raquel was communicative and reliable when we needed a last-minute drop-in sitter for our cat over the holiday weekend. During the meet & greet, she was very interested in learning about Monty’s habits and needs. While we were away, Raquel sent updates and photos each day, and helped with an unexpected package delivery. It was great to know that Monty was in such good hands - we highly recommend Raquel!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was six years old, growing up with pets back home in Guatemala. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs—big, small, playful, and shy—and I’ve gained experience with everything from daily walks to giving medication. I currently don’t have pets of my own, which means I can give your dog my full attention. You can expect lots of walks, playtime, love, and regular photo and video updates. I live in a calm, pet-friendly environment and I’m home all the time, so overnight care is never a problem. I’m here to make your dog feel safe, happy, and right at home! I work part-time in the mornings and am free the rest of the day, and I’m available to board your dog anytime that works for you. Since I work nearby, I can easily accommodate your schedule for drop-offs and pick-ups. I spend most of my time at home, giving plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I especially enjoy taking dogs on walks—it’s a great way for them to get exercise and have fun. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I love being active with animals and making sure they feel happy and loved all day long. I live in a calm, pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel safe, relaxed, and loved. My home is free of harmful plants and other hazards, I always keep the space clean and comfortable. I have a big yard where I can walk and play with your dog throughout the day, giving them plenty of exercise and attention. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs so they feel right at home. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m happy to follow any routines that help them feel secure. I know trust matters, so I always keep pet parents updated with photos, videos, and clear communication.

About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, from our show dog who was an Irish Wolfhound to being a rescue mom to smaller terriers. I have cared for horses, chickens, bunnies which included pets with special handicaps. With deep empathy and natural connection, I understand animals on an intuitive level. I have trained puppies, comforted seniors and welcomed countless creatures who somehow find their way to my home. Your pet will find a home away from home here with me, safe, loving-and I look forward to offering the same love I show all animals to your beloved pet. All the animals in my home live in harmony together. Some visitors marvel at that fact but it's how I treat each animal with love and care that fosters this environment. All needs are met and everyone is happy! I am home during the day and available to provide attentive care for your pet. I may step out briefly for errands or other chores but will ensure your pet's needs are fully met and they get plenty of company and care. Our home is on one acre with a fenced in yard and great area for walking with lots of trees in a peaceful setting. I have a senior dog (17 yo) that loves company. We also have cats which are friendly and curious.
“My sister referred Yhakerra to me and she was amazing with my semi anxious dog! We booked her for dog walking while I was traveling. She was patient and calm with my dog, she provided updates daily and was responsive. I 100% trust her and will be bookings again!”
“Monica is great as usual! Love that she loves Molly & takes such good pics of her it makes Molly look so photogenic lol! Such a perk that she loves in my complex! Thank you Monica for everything that you do for Molly!”
“Lindsey did an amazing job with Max. She took her time to learn his personality, his walking preferences, and made sure he got good exercise. Max enjoyed his walks and loves Lindsey already.”
“Mathew and Christianna are the ultimate husband-and-wife dream team! They are incredibly accommodating and genuinely eager to help with whatever we need. Genie always gets a solid, brisk walk and comes home feeling happy and content. The best part is how thrilled Genie is to see them when they arrive—you can tell they share a real, genuine connection. Highly recommend!”

“Fionnuala is wonderful! If I could give her 10 stars, I would. She walked Bailey exactly as requested and a neighbor even commented to me what a great job she did I. Following my instructions when approaching another dog! I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I have been walking and babysitting dogs for 4 years. In addition, I have two dogs of my own, one which I’ve had for around 9 years. My newest one I got as a puppy, so I have experience with dogs of all ages. Besides dogs, I used to have two holland lop rabbits. Overall, I have a lot of experience with pets of all kinds as I had grown up in a household full of pets! I am currently a rising senior in college. I will be based in Rockland County from June 16th to August 18th. I will be available almost every day to walk and petsit your dogs as needed! I live in a town house with 2 small dogs, my sister, and my mom. There is an easily accessible park that I take my dogs to play in very often. I have multiple crates available around my house to provide a safe space for them to sleep. In a client’s home, I typically ask for a schedule that contains walking and feeding times and would do things they usually do in their daily routines.
“Alli is a great! She's super professional about being on time and making sure I got some great pictures from their walk. you can tell she loves animals. Would highly recommend.”
“I felt at ease having Caleigh walk our brand new baby, Leo. She was communicative and right on time which was important for us with an 8wk old puppy. Will be using again. Thank you!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for the past 4 years. I’ve come to learn the different breads and have acquired some basic training for dogs like teaching them to sit, paw, roll over etc. I love to play fetch with dogs too. They make me laugh and it offers them great exercise. I have a fenced in back yard so your dog can run around without having to worry about escaping. I have a pool which is open in the summer if your dog loves to play in the pool to get out of the hot sun. I am a full time teacher. I’m home at 3 pm everyday. I have breaks during the day and since I’m 5 minutes from work, it allows me to come home during the day to check up on the pups I’m watching. My weekends are free and I have summers over with vacations all rear round. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for your pup to play. I also have a pool and your pup can go in it during the summer when it’s open. I love to walk so me and your dog will be walking a lot.

“Doreen is the best! Super friendly and took such great care of our senior dog, Layla, who loved it at her home. I would recommend her as a pet sitter to anyone and am so thankful to have found her!”
“We travel frequently for long trips and our usual sitter was not available this time and so we chose to use Rover and found Ankita and her beautiful family . From the time of meet and Greet I knew that I couldn’t have found a better dog loving home for my coco . The love care and affection they showered on coco was evident from the multiple daily updates we received in form of videos and messages . Coco was the happiest puppy ever and I bet she is going to miss them so much - especially their Dog Panther who is such a sweet heart and their little son who became coco’s best friend and companion to play all day :) Coco has found a new second home and we will surely be using them again at our next time away”
“Roberta and Travis were great to work with. Fast communication and our NOAA was happy and exhausted at pick up! She played with their pup Marshall and came home a very content pup! We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Bentley! From the start, she made me feel completely at ease. Bentley was comfortable, happy, and clearly well cared for the entire time. Mary kept in contact with me daily, which I really appreciated, and gave updates that reassured me he was in great hands. She also followed all of my instructions exactly. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive!”
“Thank you Lieb and family for taking such great care of Rocket. I can tell he had a terrific time with you while we were away. And thanks for the pictures and updates etc! We really appreciate your dedication to the dogs.”
“Christina was amazing from start to finish! Amazing communication and multiple photo updates daily. She and her husband really took great care of my Bella! Will absolutely be booking her again. Thanks Christina!”
“Maggie enjoyed her stay with Carolina! I felt very comfortable leaving Maggie there. I received updates and pictures during her stay. She also enjoyed playing with her dog Daisy! I will definitely be using Carolina again! Thank you so much Carolina for taking such good care of Maggie during her stay!”
“Scratchy had a fun time with Elizabeth and her family. I could tell he was very happy. Elizabeth sent many updates and photos. Thank you for taking such good care of him!”
“Love Love Love leaving my dogs with Irene and Ken. No matter how short their stay is, they always send me photos of my pups. I feel so confident to leave them with Irene and Ken and know that they are being well cared for and loved. Can't say enough about my experience with them!”
“Maddie was wonderful! Took perfect care of Sasha and checked in often about her during her stay. She was also very understanding and accomodating to some unfortunate tummy troubles Sasha had. Would definitely recommend Maddie!”
“Brittny provided excellent care for our goldendoodle, Billie Holiday. Brittny has a large dog of her own, so is quite familiar with the craziness that a big, active dog can bring to the party. I was very happy that Billie had such a wonderful home and family to spend a long weekend with. I will definitely be calling Brittny again!”
“Priscilla is amazing. Clearly a dog person. Very caring and attentive and responsive. She sent us great pictures and kept us updated on how our dog was doing. Highly recommended. We have booked multiple states with her already.”
“WOW. This is my first time with Brittany. Brittany is amazing. Brittany devoted so much time to Drew. Although Brittany has a fenced in yard, she took our dog on two walks each day. They went to the park. They had movie night together. Brittany is a rare find. When I picked my dog up, you could see how much HE enjoyed staying with Brittany—his tail was wagging, he was smiling (yes, my dog smiles) and he was licking Brittany affectionately as we were saying goodbye. I’ve had a number of other dog sitters, but Brittany just goes the extra mile. Again, she’s incredible and puts all our other sitters to shame. We are definitely spoiled and will use Brittany again anytime we need a sitter.”
“Natasha and Hamir took such great care of Minnie! They are so sweet and clearly very knowledgeable about dogs and are “dog people.” My dog was instantly comfortable when she met them, which put me at ease. They really treated Minnie like their own and kept me updated while I was away. We will definitely be back. Thanks for everything!”
