“Bear had another great stay with Michael, his wife and Bread! Thank you for once again being super responsive and accommodating with drop off/pick up times!”
“Sabrina took wonderful care of my dog. I had to book the boarding last minite, but Sabrina was very accommodating. She responded to my messages quickly and also kept sending me photos of how my dog was doing which gave me peace of mind. When I was picking him up, Sabrina explained in detail how he ate, slept, walked and behaved during the stay. This proved to me that Sabrina paid a lot of attention to my dog. Most dog sitters in my experience didn't share this much detail. I highly recommend Sabrina!”

“Onelsis was fantastic with our dog! She’s an excellent communicator—always prompt, professional, and easy to work with. She really took the time to understand our dog’s routine and kept things consistent, which made a big difference in helping her feel comfortable.

She treated my kitty so extremely well, I will def be asking her to cat sit again and can highly recommend her to anyone!”
“This was my first time using Rover to find a place to board my dog, and it was a really positive experience. She was well cared for and got regular walks. I received updates and pictures throughout her stay, which gave me peace of mind. Communication was easy, and I’d happily book with this couple again.”
“Bitzie had a great time with Mykyla and Andrew! Appreciated the multiple updates and pics, and flexing to keep her an extra night due to my travel delays. Will def be a return guest.”
“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.

“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!!”
“Ian and Clementina were great with Tripp, from taking him to the dog park to letting him join all their errands. I really appreciated the prompt communication and daily photo updates — Tripp was comfortable and rolling over for belly rubs almost instantly with them!”
“Euitae was amazing with our pup Nutmeg! He was incredibly responsive, sent us plenty of photos, and treated her like one of his own. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands and look forward to having Euitae care for Nutmeg again soon.”

“This was my first time using Rover and I was worried about how it would go, but I'm so glad I gave it a try and found Xinyu! She is friendly, positive, and considerate, and really went above what was asked (thank you for taking my packages inside for me..!). Xinyu was diligent with the schedule and followed care instructions to the letter. I would definitely book her again next time I'm out of town. 🖤🐈⬛”
“Sana watched our cat Miley while we were out of town for 5 days and we couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. Sana was very thorough making sure all of the instructions we had left were followed and then went out of her way to make sure Miley got significant play time in addition to making sure she received and ate her daily treats. We also really appreciated the great communication and abundance of daily pics and videos. We have no doubt that we will book with Sana again as she gave us peace of mind to enjoy our vacation because we knew Miley was in such good hands and enjoying herself! Thanks again!!”
“This is my third time using Jessie and I’ll always use her (if she’s not booked up!). She is very professional and, as someone who gets a lot of anxiety leaving her precious baby, I feel totally safe and comfortable knowing she’s in Jessie’s capable hands. Everyday I’m away, I look forward to Jessie’s report cards and love seeing the great photos she takes of my cat. I would recommend her highly! Thank you, Jessie!”
“Thomas was amazing with our cat, Obie! He truly went above and beyond to make sure Obie was well taken care of - we really appreciated him bringing extra toys as well as picking up cat food when we were low on it. Also gave us plenty of photo updates of Obie which we loved seeing!! Genuinely one of the best cat sitters we have had! Thank you for being so attentive and thoughtful with Obie!”
“Birger is a great sitter! I can tell that my cats love him, he is always really attentive to them and showers them with affection. He also sends the most lovely photos!”
“Kirsten did a fabulous job watching our kitties while we were out of town! She's super quick to respond to messages and our cats absolutely adored her. She played with them every day, gave our velcro kitty lots of cuddles, and won over our shy kitty as well. Highly recommend her if you're looking for a kind and diligent human to care for your kitties!”
“Thank goodness for Rosanna! This was my first time hiring a cat sitter via rover who I didn’t personally know prior to hiring and she went above and beyond! My usually anxious cat was so comfortable with her! She made sure to check in with me at each visit and i cannot overstate how grateful I am for that. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

“this was my first time using rover and maddieson was so helpful! i have an elderly cat so i was afraid to leave him alone, she set me at ease and took amazing care of him while i was gone. i will definitely be using rover again and hopefully be able to book her to help me once more!”
“Abbey was so communicative and reliable! I can tell my cat enjoyed her visits, he warmed right up to her and came out for lots of pets and treats. I’ll definitely be rebooking with Abbey!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Chelsea
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I love dogs (and cats!) I just love them so much :) My husband and I have cared for our disabled Labrador since she was 5 months old (she’s now 7), so I’m very comfortable with special needs and senior dogs. I also grew up with a dog so I am experienced with puppies and basic training. I genuinely love dogs and treat every one like my own! I’m home full-time, so I have plenty of time to give your dog lots of attention, playtime, walks, and care. I’m available throughout the week for both daycare and boarding. I live in an apartment with an elevator. I have plenty of space for play, meals, and cuddles, and I make sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine closely and adapt to their individual needs, whether they’re active, chill or somewhere in between.
“Grace was so sweet and patient with my high-energy puppy, even though she had cysts on her feet at the time. Grace kept me updated and followed my instructions carefully. I got photos and updates throughout the day. Highly recommend booking with Grace!”
“Barry had a great day with Janis! He loved her since the beginning and even napped on her lap. It was super easy to communicate with her and she is such a lovely person overall, she sent some pics of our little boy and kept us posted during the day. Barry will definitely come back to spend the day with her!”
About: We are a husband & wife dog lover duo, with a 10lb maltipoo furbaby, Chance, who are specialized in taking care of small dogs - ensuring they feel loved, comfortable and entertained while you’re away. From scenic and sensorial walks & fetch sessions by the West Side Highway to cozy cuddle sessions at home, we provide a balanced environment for your dog to feel at home. Our experience includes taking care of small breeds with various temperaments, so we’re confident we can handle your pup’s specific needs! Our dog, Chance, is an 10lb maltipoo who loves other small dogs. We’ve taught him various tricks like sit, stay, paw, and ‘bang bang’, and we love sharing that knowledge with other dogs. We adapt our care to each dog’s personality, ensuring they get the right balance of mental stimulation and relaxation. Whether it’s playtime, puzzle games, or cuddles, your dog will feel right at home! Our daily routine is pretty relaxed, which allows us to dedicate time to caring for dogs. Danny's work schedule is hybrid and Karen is fully remote! We walk Chance in the morning and evening for 30 minutes. The afternoon walks are 30–90 minutes along the water on the West Side Highway. We can adjust the walk length based on your dog’s needs, whether it's a quick stroll or a longer adventure! We live in a 600 square foot 1-bedroom apartment where your dog will feel right at home. Your pup can sleep with us in the same room or right outside, depending on the pup's preference. We can also set up a pee station if needed, though you’d just need to bring it as Chance is fully potty trained to go outside.
“I’m in from out of town. I have a real social dog and I loved the fact that Serena has 2 dogs of her own and that they all got along and played! Loved seeing all the video updates throughout the day, and appreciated the insightful questions on food and potty schedule. Will definitely book again.”
“James was great with Gilbert! He accepted my booking last minute and played with Gilbert and was super flexible about helping me pick him up. I would definitely use him again!!”
“Walter had the best week with Audrey & Rapha!! Every morning he would literally drag me to her door, it was so cute 🥰 Could not recommend Audrey more, I already have her booked again for Walter!”
“Gloria was hands down the best sitter Rocket has ever had. She sent thoughtful updates and photos every single day (multiple times a day!), which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she watches — Rocket absolutely adored her. She’s incredibly sweet, attentive, and communicative, and we came home to a very happy dog. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can fully trust with their pet.”
“Thank you Shishi and Dakota for taking such great care of Mochi. And Dusty for sharing his space too! We really appreciate your kindness and hope to book with you all again soon.”
“Amanda took great care of Jill while we were out the whole day. Jill is usually cautious with new people but she trusted Amanda really quickly. I recommend Amanda's services.”
“Hahillah is fantastic. I was totally surprised when my dog Chip, who has separation anxiety, was super chill when we left him with Hahillah. He settled into her house quickly and had a great evening. She sent over photos and messages while he was in her care. Highly recommended.”
“Hyeju and Minju has been amazing sitters for our little toy poodle Mooshi. They are very responsive and accommodating. Mooshi gets really excited to see them every time, which just tells how much she enjoys her time with them. I would highly recommend them!”
About: I just moved to New York from Peru after retiring. I enjoy spending time with dogs and I have lots of free time. I am still learning English, so I am not very fluent. My Spanish is great! I live in a nice building on 43rd and 9th close to many subway lines. Thank you. I just retired. I have lots of time to take care of pets and I enjoy the time I spend with them. I am available from Monday to Sunday. I do not have any pets at the moment because I just moved to New York, but I used to take care of dogs in my hometown.
“Georgia had the very best day with Emily and her dog, Kit, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly! She had good plays, they went on a great walk, and Georgia looked so happy in the photos she sent! We already booked our next play date!”
“Great dog sitter! Very caring, reliable, and attentive. I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with you. I really appreciate your patience and the love you showed him—especially since he can be a bit anxious. Definitely would book again! Thank you so much!”
“Thank you so much, Michael, for watching Ferguson for a few hours on same day notice. I am so impressed on your almost immediate response when I contacted you this morning. I appreciate your kindness, and the photos you sent while Ferguson was in your care. I am happy my dog got a little play date! Glad all worked out. Thanks again for understanding a Dachshund personality, too.”
“I highly recommend Katherine — she made my dog, Linguini, feel happy, secure & loved. She was very communicative & I would happily leave my dog with her again. Thanks so much!”

About: 💕✨🐾 Offers walks with special, loving attention to each dog’s individual personality, energy level, and routine. I’m experienced walking dogs in the city and stay very aware of things like traffic, sidewalk snacks, and reactive dogs, so your pup will always have my full attention and care while we’re out together. I also have a flexible and remote work schedule and can accommodate a variety of walking times. I live in between Madison Square Park and Hudson River Park. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I have a flexible work from home schedule and would love to welcome some doggies into my life! I usually spend a good amount of time walking for exercise so walking dogs really makes sense for me. I treat dogs like a member of the family. I make it a priority to pay close attention to their unique cues and foster communication so they feel understood and safe in my care. I’m a naturally active person and usually get a few miles in every day on my own, so your dog will have a reliable partner for walks and exercise. I’m very patient so that they can enjoy sniffing to their hearts desire and I keep a close watch so they don’t eat anything bad.
“Anastasiia was a huge help with getting care for my dog last minute. She took her for a walk and sent great updates and pictures. She is very trustworthy and reliable and I will definitely book again!”

“Kristen is super reliable, caring, and clearly great with dogs, my dog is always excited to see her and comes back happy. She is very communicative and made me feel completely comfortable trusting her with my dog.”
“Thomas is so great! He takes such good care of my dog and truly exceeds expectations. I especially appreciated his care and attention to help me maintain my dog’s training on walks. Highly recommend!”
About: Growing up, I begged my parents for a dog, and when I was finally old enough to care for one myself, they relented! Ever since, I’ve had a true love for all animals, especially dogs. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, making it easy to provide walks during my one-hour lunch break, as well as before and after work. I’m a nurturing, dependable, and thoughtful pet caregiver who will treat your furry friend like they’re my own. I’ve been doing Rover for about a year and consistently maintain a five-star rating. I would love to connect! I currently work remotely, so I am available for dog walks and visits during my flexible, hour-long lunch break, as well as before 9 a.m. and after 5 p.m. I will treat your home with respect, ensuring everything is kept clean and organized. I’ll follow any specific house rules you have and make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their environment.
“Gustav had a wonderful time with Gloria! I really appreciated all the photos that Gloria posted before, during and after Gustav's walks. So grateful for Gloria's help while I was away.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have two Australian Shepherds of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your pets. I have experience with dog sitting for both short and long overnight stays, and I always focus on making animals feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in my care. I’m calm, patient, and attentive to each dog’s personality and needs. I know every pet adjusts differently, so I give them the space and reassurance they need to get comfortable naturally. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, anxious, or just loves routine, I’m happy to accommodate their specific needs and any requests you may have. My goal is to provide dependable, empathetic care so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. Will be fully available for pet care starting June 12th. If you book with me your pets will be my top priority. Flexible with scheduling and last minute accommodations. I’m not currently able to accommodate boarding in my own home, but I’m very attentive to maintaining your pet’s normal routine and comfort in their own environment. I’m calm, patient, and respectful of each animal’s boundaries while they get comfortable with me. I’m also happy to accommodate any specific care instructions, routines, medications, or requests to help your pet feel safe and well cared for while you’re away.
“Jessica was quick to respond to my last minute request. Even though we haven’t met, her recap and communication really made me feel at ease and trust her. She seemed to understand Millie and her quirkiness. I would definitely book her again!”
“Kelly is an A+ person. She is prompt, communicative, and our dog loved spending time with her! We are happy to know that Finn is in good hands when Kelly is looking after him. Five star recommendation.”
About: I grew up with pets and have about 10 years of experience caring for them as part of my family. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I bring that same care to every pet I look after. Coming from Japan, I approach pet care and your home with a detail-oriented, respectful mindset — I follow instructions closely, keep to your pet’s usual routine, and always leave your home exactly as I found it. Small things matter to me. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member. I will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work fully remotely, which gives me a flexible daily schedule. This allows me to accommodate pet care visits on both weekdays and weekends, depending on the owner’s needs. I can adjust timing easily for both regular and occasional bookings. I provide in-home visits only to ensure pets remain in a familiar and low-stress environment. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and prioritize consistency with the pet’s usual routine. During every visit, I focus on attentive care and maintaining a calm, reliable presence.
“Elizabeth walks our dog multiple times a week and we can’t recommend her enough — she is fantastic!! Our dog loves her and she is so easy to work with. She is always on time and is flexible, communicative, and thoughtful. We have loved working with her and highly recommend!”
“Ellison was happy to accommodate my slightly unusual request, seeing as Meg is blind and doesn’t need a full 30-mins of walking. She was more than willing to let Meg out for a potty break and spend a little time with her at home inside the 30 minute walking window. I also appreciated that she was able to stop by ahead of time so I could quickly show her the usual routine and allow Meg to sniff her to get familiar before she came over for the walks that were scheduled.”

Tamara was also communicative providing regular updates for us about Essie, for our own peace of mind. I highly recommend Tamara for anyone's dog care needs.”

I would absolutely use her services again and recommend her to all my friends. Thank you so much!!”

You can tell that Daisy wants to provide the best care. She asked lots of questions about Daisy’s usual routine and if there were any special care instructions. She also sent so many pictures during Daisy’s stay which is always wonderful to receive! I would definitely recommend her as a sitter, and I plan to book with her again in the future”
