“Bridget took great care of my Shih Tzu Oliver. Drop off/pick up were seamless and she’s always quick to respond with an update and picture whenever I check in.”
“Ryan watched both our dogs for a couple of days while we were gone. Initially it was only supposed to be one but we had some plans change and had a last minute request which he kindly accommodated. He kept us updated everyday while watching the boys. One of them got an upset stomach which he helped tend to. Thank you for taking good care of the boys!”
“Deibi and Tiffany took wonderful care of my two dogs over a long weekend. I received detailed updates, photos, and videos everyday. Tiffany was super responsive and she’s so kind! My dogs didn’t want to leave!!!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t say enough good things about our dog sitter. She watched my dog for a full week and took excellent care of him. My dog is elderly and has a luxating patella in his back knee, and she was very attentive to his needs and limitations. She handled him carefully, made sure he was comfortable, and truly paid attention to his health. She kept us updated throughout the entire stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we picked him up, he was happy, calm, and clearly very well taken care of. On top of that, she even washed him the day before pickup, so he came home freshly cleaned, which was such a thoughtful touch. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, loving dog sitter.”
“Elanor was amazing. The drop-off and pick-up process was very smooth and easy. She was exceptionally great to communicate with, and she showed genuine care by asking for all the details about my dog's routine. I appreciate everything she did and highly recommend her.”
“Took wonderful care of our little Penny. She came back happy and well cared for, and John was perfectly communicative before and during her stay. Would highly recommend trusting John with your fur baby.”
“Michael was super attentive to banjo! Great at sending update pictures, asking specific questions about his care, even separating him for meal time + accepting a door dash when he ran out of food. Michael really went the extra mile by keeping banjo for an additional night when my flight was delayed till late. Will book again!”
“Euitae was great with my puppy! Communicated with me well throughout the time, sent photos and videos. I felt comfortable leaving her with a new boarder and would work with Euitae again!”
“Lal was great! Very communicative and Joey had a great time w Hank and her cat. Sent lots of updates and made us feel very comfortable during Joey's stay.”
“Sherry and Walter looked after our little puppy Figo for a night, and were fantastic sitters! They played with him, made him feel very comfortable with lots of snuggles, took him on a lovely walk and sent us lots of updates throughout. We’d recommend them highly!”
“Michael watched our dog June for one night in preparation for a longer stay and was very communicative and helpful! We’re looking forward to having June stay with him again.”
“Ana & Luis are amazing and we're so glad we found them. They watched our toy poodle for a few days. He clearly had so much fun, play time and attention that we joked that he would not want to come home to us. Ana & Luis were also very good about keeping contact with us -- sending us updates, notes and pictures. We would definitely entrust them again with our pup in the future.”
“Sabrina is incredible and took special care of my dog. She keeps in constant contact with photos and videos. This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely book with Sabrina again. 10/10 fully recommend her!”
“Roman was incredible. He sent us daily pictures and videos and was very communicative. He took such great care of Luna for 2 weeks, taking her for long walks in the park. We will absolutely work with him again.”
“Angelique was a lifesaver. She took care of our sweet boy while we were away for the weekend. She was so attentive and communicative when he had unexpected stomach issues and made sure our boy was well taken care of. Truly appreciate her and could not recommend more highly!”
“Mykala was awesome! She took great care of Saffy and was really flexible when my travel plans changed & I had to book an additional night. I've already booked Mykala again for my next trip and I know Saffy will be excited to see her.”
“Merin was AMAZING!! I really felt Moose was being well taken care of and left me with such peace of mind while on vacation. She was super thorough, gave constant updates, and reached out with any questions/concerns. Hands down we found our go to sitter which is the best feeling knowing I have someone to trust to take care of Moose when I need a little R&R! Thank you!!”
“We unfortunately had to leave our new 2.5mo puppy for ten days only a couple weeks after adopting her. She was in the middle of housetraining which made us nervous but Adam was fantastic with her. He helped reinforce housetraining with Rey, gave her lots of attention, took her on good long walks, and kept us updated the whole week. Would definitely recommend Adam, especially for high energy puppies like ours.”
“Sarah gave Dante an outstanding stay caring for him while we were away visiting family do 3 days. She sent plenty of photos and kept us updated several times a day on how he was doing. She took Dante on 2-3 walks a day and gave him plenty of opportunities to make new furry friends at Central Park. Highly recommend Sarah and hope we can work together again!”
“Amazing service as usual! Cookies came home happy and smelling good and Iliana washed his diapers and bed. I couldn’t ask for a more reliable, understanding and kind sitter to care for Cookies. Thank you so much!”

“Tatyana helped us feel so comfortable and confident while we were traveling. She sent so many photos of both of our kitties and played with them, while also knowing exactly how to read their cues (one is playful, the other is more anxious and distant). We are so grateful and will definitely ask her to watch them again!!!!”
“Yarden is so sweet and made me feel SO comfortable from the moment we met. She kept me updated throughout her stay with photos and videos, which I really appreciated. I came home after a 7-day trip and my apartment was exactly how I left it. I’ll definitely be using her services again, and I’m so happy, grateful, ecstatic (etc.) I finally found a great sitter for Paris!”
“It’s a real pleasure to have Leta take care of our little cat during our holiday trips. Yes, she left chocolate chip cookies and a very clean apartment - thanks Leta! - but most importantly she was super responsive, responsible, and kind with the kitty. Twice-daily pix and descriptions kept me fully informed. Will rebook for sure.”
“We and our cats LOVE Tina! Equally important, we TRUST Tina! She helps us deal with missing our furbabies when we must leave them, be it for a weekend or several weeks. She is responsible and ensures that our home is in good shape as well. We recommend her enthusiastically.”
“Eileen was an amazing catsitter! Super reliable, communicative, and very caring. I loved the updates and photos, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in great hands. Would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”
“Kaila took amazing care of my cat! Wrynn has severe asthma so it can sometimes feel difficult to find someone trusted to administer the medicine properly – Kaila did a great job with it. The food bowls and litter were well maintained and clean, and Kaila was extremely communicative. I came home to a happy cat. Thank you Kaila!”
“Joyce was AMAZING! We were out of town for a week and she followed the instructions we left and was great at communicating how they were doing. One of my cats is quite nervous and seemed to warm right up to her, was such a relief knowing my cats were being well cared for while I was away. Will be my go to sitter in the future!”
“Angelique did a wonderful job caring for my cat while I was away. She would upload pictures after every visit, and it’s obvious that she loves cats/animals and genuinely cares for them. She even helped me grab some time-sensitive packages from the mailroom and watered my plants.”
“Incredibly kind and reliable. She goes above and beyond to make sure your pets and home are well cared for. My cats are always happy and healthy after spending time with Rosanna!”
“Rachel was so great! She was prompt, responsive, and patient with my scaredy cats. I have a little robot and it stopped working while I was away. She was able to troubleshoot it and get it working again. Thank you!”
“It was my first time booking a pet sitter through Rover and I was very anxious! It was during the Holidays and our flights got rebooked and had to cancel one of the days. Claire was very friendly and accommodating despite the last minute booking and cancellation. She was on time and responded quickly. Would definitely rebook with her!”
“Mackenzie’s amazing!! I needed help giving my cat her pill and Mackenzie safely, gently, and instantly got her to take it. My cat barely realized she was getting her meds, and we’re both super grateful!”
“Martina was amazing! She took great care of my cat and apartment space. When I ran out of cat food while still traveling, she bought some more that day, no questions asked, and made the process so stress-free for me. So grateful for her!”
“Ryan was wonderful. He was very responsive, always prompt, and very caring. Sunny and Penny really appreciated the love and playtime Ryan provided them. Would absolutely use him again cat sitting!”
“Birger is great with Peanut, she’s very picky about being picked up or being on top of people but she’s ALWAYS on top of Birger. Love feeling confident in the care she received when I’m away, especially with the detailed updates and photos Birger provides. Could not recommend him more!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Manhattan
“Very kind to our elderly dog, sensitive to his needs and energy. Eleanor also communicated right away, which we were grateful for since we were finding a sitter on short notice.”
“Wei and Jason have been my go to sitters for Nellie for a couple of years now. Nellie has difficulties staying alone but with Euitae I can go to work calmly knowing Nellie is having a fulfilling day and with pictures to boot, highly recommend!”
“Kissing the skies for finding Sierra! She is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She went above and beyond and took Kobe to run all of her errands so that he wasn’t bored home alone. And when she was home she played with him all day and didn’t leave his side. 100/10 would recommend and we can’t wait to Kobe to stay with her again!”
“Lee and Alex are fantastic duo! They are incredible hosts and have graciously agreed to take care of our pup last minute. Lee was so thoughtful and kind, and sent so many pictures and videos as she knew I was worried (this was the first time we tried day care), and made me feel at ease. She is truly a great mama and it felt like she was my good old friend, and my pup's auntie. Thank you Lee and Alex! Satto can't wait to spend time with you and his new dog friends again!”
“Mara was so great with my puppy, Winston! She was super helpful with his training and kept me updated. I highly recommend her and hope she can come see Winston again soon”
“Haziza was wonderful! I had to take a last minute trip into the city and traveling with my pet (Scout) was tough. I made the request last minute and Haziza responded immediately! I was nervous as I have never used a Rover in the city, but Haziza has us meet and immediately I felt at ease! She went above and beyond for sending me photos and videos of Scout at the park and even enjoying her family time in the comfort of Hazizas home! I will 100% book with her again any time I am in the city! Cannot give her a high enough review!”
“She took amazing care of our dog during doggy day care. She sent lots of pictures and even sent him home with some fancy treats! He was well loved and cared for.”
“Carly took such great care of Mango! She made sure she got multiple walks in and kept me updated with messages and pictures, which I really appreciated. It was my first time leaving Mango, so I was a little nervous, but Carly made the whole experience so easy and reassuring. Mango clearly felt super comfortable, she had such a good time she didn’t even miss me 😭 You can tell Carly genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I’d absolutely trust her with Mango again and highly recommend her 💛”
“Tracy is a fantastic sitter and we couldn’t be happier that we’ve found her. She is so welcoming, kind, caring and informative and you can tell she loves spending time with dogs. Tracy and Nookie invited our dog Sandy into their home and they had a great time together, Sandy came home shattered which was just what we were after. Tracy provides updates and regular communication and we can’t wait for Sandy to stay with her again as we know she is well looked after and loved, which is a massive relief. We highly recommend Tracy to take care of your dog as she knows exactly what they need.”
About: I’ve taken care of my family dog since I was 10. I’ve also watched family friends and relatives animals for them when they are away on vacation! I’m currently working hybrid so I can be home most days if needed when boarding an animal! I will enjoy being able to get out of my apartment every few hours to take the dog for long walks! I live in an apartment with a roommate and we always keep the door locked when we are in and out of the home. My roommate has a standard poodle who is super mellow and great with other dogs!
“We had such a great experience with Alyssa! Interactions were very positive including meeting up beforehand, great communication throughout the stay with photos and updates, and just a really nice person who makes you feel comfortable leaving your pup with. Thanks Alyssa!”
“I had no issues or complaints. All good things for Seoyoung! I appreciated the consistency of pictures sent to me & updates of what my pug was up to. I know my puppy was in good hands because I had a peace of mind after meeting her & seeing my puppy was comfortable with her at the first impression and that she took great care of her like if she was her dog. Thank you!”
About: Hi! We are Keith and Harley. We are an engaged couple living in NYC with a 7 year old labrador retriever. We are trying to make extra money for our wedding and we LOVE dogs. Our dog does well with others, doesn't bark and isn't aggressive. As a couple we have two sets of hands and availability to help watch your dog! We are WFH and live right next to a dog park so we can offer a lots of time outside and stimulation for your dog! If your dog does better on solo walks, we can do that too. We live in a quiet elevator building next to a dog park. We have space for any size dog to feel comfortable. Our dog is 7, very low key, but mobile like a puppy.
“Priscilla has become a calm in my storm! She is always communicative, and helps me to much with my pup that has generalized anxiety and SA. Thank you so much! We love having you- especially me so I can have a few dog free hours in my week! 5 stars!”

About: Hi! A dog and cat lover based in UWS— I’m new to Rover but have been taking care of pets for over a decade! I’m a reliable, attentive pet sitter who genuinely loves spending time with animals :) I’ve cared for both cats and dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a slower, more gentle pace. I know it can feel scary to leave your loved furry friend for any amount of time but with me, I promise loving, special, and safe care! I have experience handling different temperaments, routines, and needs including administering medications, managing allergies, and adapting to each pet’s unique preferences. Whether it’s a quick visit, daily walks, or longer stays, I’m always happy stepping in and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I work a hybrid schedule with a lot of flexibility throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, walks, and care. I’m in-office Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but available for morning/evening care those days, and fully flexible the rest of the week for drop-ins, walks, and sitting. I’m able to adapt to your pet’s routine and make sure they’re getting the attention and activity they need! I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and attentive environment for every pet. I have a private outdoor backyard and live just a one minute walk from central park, so dogs get plenty of fresh air, exercise, and stimulation. I’m experienced with pets of all ages, temperaments, and needs including medications and allergies and I always follow owner instructions closely. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times :)
“Lamby had a great time on his walk! It was raining but Nicholas still gave him an awesome walk and Lamby has been passed out for the last hour! Thank you Nicholas!”
“Josh is great! He is punctual, responsive and usually available. He does great with our dog who can be timid with new people, especially in our apartment. And he gives detailed information about their walks. Will definitely continue to book him in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember! Wether it be my own, my friends, or my neighbors, i’ve always loved and been very in tune with animals and nature. I have helped puppies with potty training, socialization, equipment dressing, crate training, recall, and more! I have also taken care of senior animals. Providing them comfort while administering any extra care or medication they may need, including injections of subcutaneous fluids. Overall, I have a ton of love and care for animals, as well as experience keeping them as safe and comfortable as possible. I’m currently interning remotely at a film production company located in Los Angeles. I only work Tuesdays and Thursdays and even then have a very flexible schedule. If you need a great last minute sitter/walker, i’m here for you! I treat your homes and pets as if they were my own! I am incredibly detail oriented, careful, considerate, and adept at problem-solving. I will carefully listen to any and all directions you provide and follow them to a tea, as well as be independent enough to prevent or solve and issues that may arise. I would love to ease your stress and help you take care of your beloved homes and animals!
“Ryan did a great job looking after my dog Kira. He was timely with her walks, always ensured she had food and water, and if he ever had a question was not afraid to ask. She seemed in great spirits when I got home. Happy with his work.”
About: Hello! I’d love to be your pet’s bestie. I have extensive experience caring for cats and litters of kittens from birth to eight weeks, subbing in for Humane Society foster friends when they were out of town. I also have 10+ years of experience walking, feeding and playing with dogs of all ages and sizes, including my own dogs (Golden Retrievers!) growing up. It brings me so much joy to see every animal's unique personality shine through when they are in my care, and I strive to make every pet feel as comfortable, safe and content as possible. I currently work part time, so I have plenty of space in my schedule to play with your pups or kitties! Whether it’s a walk or a visit to your home, I’d love to spend quality time with your pet. I can play with your cats and provide enrichment to keep them busy. For dogs, depending on their reactivity, I would be happy to bring them on walks of any length, for exercise or to go potty. If your home needs a light tidy or your pet makes a mess, I'd also be happy to clean that up for you.

“Lily was great and will definitely book with her again. My new rescue guy has some special training instructions so I’m always nervous to leave him with new people. She was a pro and he loved her!”
About: My extensive background in pet sitting speaks for itself, but what truly drives me is my deep connection and ability to bond with animals. I believe this personal connection is what makes me an exceptional caregiver, and it’s the reason I’m so passionate about working with pets. I have a wide open schedule. I wake up and get my pet ready for breakfast and I handle clean up around the same time. Throughout the day I engage with my pet. I have time and availability to do house visits or to walk your pet. I live in an apartment that is pet friendly. The windows are secure and the neighbors are pet lovers as well, so there is socializing and our 5 unit apartment building. The neighborhood here engages with pets on a regular basis
