“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!”
“Kecia is by far the best sitter I have worked with from Rover! She is super attentive and I left for my trip with not a doubt that my pups would be in good hands. She is exceptionally communicative and treated my pups with love and care. I will definitely book with her again!”
“I just left my 2 y/o Yorkie boy for a couple of hours as an introductory experience, and he was fine. Apparently had no problems with the other dogs there. Michael and his wife were very responsive and accommodating. I plan to use them again for an over night stay unless I find someone closer to me, and I recommend them.”
“Kylie and Kris are the best! My dog, Kimber, is a sweet but dog-reactive little guy. He’s stayed with Kylie and Kris twice now, most recently for 2 weeks. They’re amazing with Kimber, and he always comes home happy. They gave him lots of cuddles and play time. They also helped Kimber with his fear of other dogs by spending time outside on a park bench together. My partner and I really appreciate the daily photo and text updates and how responsive Kylie and Kris are. So glad we found them on Rover. We’ve already booked with them again for next month!”
“Jelfri and his family were so wonderful and made sure my dog came home happy and healthy! He needed meds and they were very on top of that and made sure to keep me updated on his health! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using him again !”
“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!”
“John was the perfect choice to watch my sweet Barney while I was on a vacation. He is a true dog lover and treated Barney as his own. I will definitely be leaving my pup in his care when i travel in the future. So Thankful to have found John!”
“She was incredibly communicative and understanding with my dog, which really put me at ease, especially since my dog can be a handful at times. She sent plenty of photos, and her home is cute, clean, and spacious. Shes well suited as a dog sitter and I’d definitely recommend her and would book again.”
“Shishi was an excellent sitter for sullie! This was our first time using Rover in a long time, and first time in New York City. Sullie is super chill and easy to love, but I always get nervous leaving him with new sitters that I am not personally familiar with. Shishi eased all my worries and went above and beyond to share updates and give him all the love and attention. Her and her husband Dakota are true animal lovers and I know Sullie had a blast with them and was taken care for the same (if not better!) than he is at home. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will be booking her again!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“The absolute best sitters - thank you both for always caring for Nalu like your own and always taking the time to truly understand and accept her LOL”
“First time booking on Rover. Elaine is very accommodating and I was able to book her on short notice. I have a six month old pug puppy who is very energetic and just got a neuter surgery, and she was able to accommodate his needs and care for him. She sent photos while I was away, mainly of him napping so I know he was tired out. She provided feedback on his pulling behaviors on walks and suggested different types of harnesses. I will definitely book her again, and thank you, Elaine!”
“Audrey was fantastic with Joey! Sent me frequent update pictures and he adored her so much he did not want to leave. Would highly recommend Audrey as a sitter and will definitely be using her services again”
“Lal was amazing! She watched our puppy and was very communicative and committed to taking great care of him! It was our first time leaving him and we were so pleased with her and are glad to have a trusted sitter!”
“David was amazing! Communication was consistent and adorable and I really felt like Roman was welcomed into his family. He was amazingly chill when I picked him up, not straining to get to me like he usually is, which I think says it all about the excellent care he received at David’s home. I would recommend him to anyone!”
“I was a nervous--first time user of Rover. I found someone near me--and that was Bridget. I was LUCKY! Bridget is kind, professional, and has experience. You can tell--right away. If you want someone who knows how to handle dogs--it is her. She is a dog owner herself for 20 years--so isn't that also proof--enough? She came to pick my dog up--on--time, and I never had a worry the entire time. I am so grateful for her help.”
“Adam watched our 10 month old puppy for about a week while we were out of town, and he did an awesome job. I got so many pictures and videos the whole time. His dog Hermes gets on great with my puppy, they were playing together the whole time! We did a meet and greet before booking him to make sure that the dogs got along well together too. We needed our dog to only eat the food we brought due to allergy concerns, and Adam fed them in separate rooms which worked well. We got back a tired, happy puppy.”

“Mary went above and beyond taking care of my two cats while I was gone for a full week. One of my cats had a few accidents while I was away and Mary when the extra mile, ensuring he was okay and cleaning up the area. She also was extremely communicative, sent plenty of pictures, and gave my cat so much love! I could not recommend her enough!”
“Samantha was great with Sage and so communicative and nice. I really felt safe having her be the one checking in on Sage while I was away! Feel lucky we were able to get on her busy schedule - great first rover experience!!”
“This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous, but Kirsten could not have made me feel more at ease! She took amazing care of my cat, sent thoughtful updates, and my apartment somehow looked cleaner than when I left (even though I had just had it cleaned). I definitely recommend her and will absolutely be hiring her again!”
“Christopher was very nice to Zuu, gave Zuu a lot of caring, made sure he took his medication, and sent a lot of photos and clear summaries for his visits. I would def work with him again in the future!”
“Megan was a great cat sitter on our 8 day long vacation. She spent lots of time with our 2 cats, and we felt at ease with them in her care. She sent detailed updates and lots of pictures of the cats, and both cats really warmed up to her quickly and seemed happy. Definitely will book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a cat sitter”
“We hadn't used Rover or had a long-term cat sitter before, and we didn't know what to expect - Rosanna went above and beyond anything we could have hoped for! From the start, we felt confident our two cats were in the best of care, and her updates made it clear our cats were thriving with her. We missed them so much while we were away but knew we did not need to worry about a thing. We cannot recommend Rosanna enough!”
“Stephanie took such great care of my cat Dewey! She went above and beyond and gave such thorough updates and so many great pics, which was so appreciated. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Andrea always does an amazing job with Amelie! She has gone above and beyond with her witty summaries and helps out with our packages as well. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”
“My cat Zelda is very timid and tends to hide whenever a stranger enters the apartment. With Marissa was love at first sight. Zelda greeted her as soon as she walked into the apartment, and Marissa petted her immediately. The cat was friendly and sociable during the visit, and we didn't find her stressed out upon returning home. Thank you, Marissa!”
“Cheryl is the best! She's my go to sitter - no one I trust my boys with more than her. Always super responsive and sends so many updates! Really good at following sometimes complicated instructions. 5* all the way!”
“Val was great!! Communicative and reliable — a true cat lover! We appreciated that she stayed to play with the cats for a while and didn’t just feed them and leave. ”
“Adam once again watched Rose and did a great job. His extra care and focus gives me so much peace of mind every time I have to go out of time. He's an outstanding pet sitter and I can't recommend him enough.”
“Melissa was phenomenal. She sent tons of pics and was very communicative. I'd absolutely use her again. My cat can be a little persnickety and slow to warm up, and it was clear she felt comfortable with Melissa from the beginning. 10/10 recommend using Melissa's services.”
“Elizabeth was communicative and was great company for my cat, Ruby! I felt comfortable leaving her for a few days while I was out of town and would Elizabeth again!”
“Amanda was such a great cat sitter! She was so kind and patient with my very shy cat and sent great updates every day. Normally my cat won't come out for anyone, but Amanda and her became friends immediately. Can't recommend highly enough!”
“Niccole is amazing and my cat Julia loves her. She is so reliable and always keeps me in the loop. This is my third time hiring her and she has been great every time!”
“Diane was phenomenal! I’m new to using Rover, and she was patient enough to walk me through everything from start to finish. Her visits are also super well documented, and I can really feel how much she cares for the animals via the check-in cards!”
“Onyx was great, we had a few unexpected issues come up during the week (one cat didn't want to take his medicine and the batteries for the electric feeder died), and she helped find solutions to make sure everything was sorted out. She also cleaned up when they made messes, and was very communicative the whole time. I can't say enough good things about her, and I can't recommend her services enough!”

“Love how confident I feel leaving my girl Roxie with Shishi and her partner. Just wrapped up three consecutive days of daycare. Love the photo updates ❤️. Would def recommend to anyone interested.”
“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!”
“Linyan is great with communication, keeps me updated with pictures and videos. She took Momo for a nice long walk in the park. My dog had an amazing day with her. She looks so happy after came back home. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life primarily cats and my family at home now has 3. I’m very understanding of cat behavior and am experienced in how to care for them. I’ve gained experience in dog care with taking care of friends pets over the years and more recently, with the 2+ years on rover. I’m comfortable with small to large dogs. I recently finished fostering a male cat from the ACC shelter and it was my greatest joy! Id love to help in anyway I can take care of your fur babies! I work from the office Tues/Wed and remote the other days, I’m available anytime on weekends. I’d be more than happy to work with your schedule so don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any timing requests, I would just need to plan ahead of time. I have a spacious one bed apartment, with a large rooftop. I’m blocks away from tompkins sq park and the east river. I can bring any necessary supplies your pet may need in the event you run out while your away. I’ll always keep constant communication with you and make sure the process goes as smoothly as possible.
“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.”
“Eloise was so excited to see Michael again! Thank you for taking such good care of her and having such patience for her during her wild puppy phase. We appreciate you so much!”
“Georgia had a great day with Stella! Stella was so thoughtful and planned a fun outing to the park for Georgia even on a cold day and they got in some great cuddle time, too! She made herself right at home and looked very happy :)”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have my own mini dachshund who just turned 5! He loves to play with other dogs and would keep yours company throughout the day. I work from home so am able to care for your dog all day. I take my dog out to go potty 3-4 times throughout the day so your dog will get the same love and attention! I live in a walk up apartment but am home all day. I have a living room where your dog can play with mine and space for beds where they can lay next to me while I work throughout the day. Eyes will always be on your baby :)
“Hannah took very good care of my dog including interactive play and buying her new toys. Hannah was very responsive to my texts. Last but not least she is very personable and definitely shows her love for dogs. I have already rebooked for a few more days.”
“Janet & Spencer are so sweet and took such great care of Rosa! They made sure she was comfortable and all her needs were met. She had a wonderful time with them!”
“Summer absolutely loved her time with Hang! Photos and videos of Summer were shared with us during her stay and Hang was super responsive to all messages. Would love to have her watch Summer again!”
“Jennifer was awesome! Took great care of Polly, even let her have a toy that she seemed to like. Sent plenty of pictures/videos & took her on a nice long walk. Recommended!”
About: Emily rescued her Chiweenie “Little One” 4 years ago, who lives at home with her mom in Georgia. Littles has stayed with us in our NYC apartment for months at a time, though. All three of us have raised puppies from weeks old and been around elderly pups as well. We can work from home so there will always be one of us home during the day. The apartment is never totally empty unless we go out for a meal (2-4 hours a time). We are active and love going on runs and walks! We have a back patio which can have a pee pad. Else we are on the first floor of a walk up, with a park 2 blocks away. We love going on walks, short or long, with the pets. Our apartment has windows and space for it to not be too crowded
“Antoniette was really good and took care of our puppy very well. She sent us some pictures to see how Trufa (our dog) was doing. Trufa was calm and happy to stay with her. Also, Antoniette was very flexible and friendly. Thanks for your service! Really appreciated”
“Amanda was wonderful with out dachshund, Lola, who fell in love with her very quickly. Lola can be a bit of a handful (big personality, Napoleon syndrome) but Amanda knew how to handle her, and it sounds like they both had a great time. I know Lola got lots of cuddles and activity, and after the first day (when she was nervous being left with a stranger), she was very excited to see Amanda every morning.”
“Audrey was great with my pup! She was very communicative and I could tell he was in good hands. I received several photos during the day as he was getting spoiled, and she was amenable to watching him again in the future. Would definitely recommend :)”
About: I am deeply and utterly a major dog person. But I also love cats! I grew up with a beloved dog, and when I later met my wife and she came with two cats, I quickly fell in love with all of them. Sadly our cats have passed. Last Fall, we adopted our beautiful 4 year old lab mix, Goose. I have worked as a pet walker and sitter for years, and I believe wholeheartedly that dogs are basically humans, except way better! I work from home and my schedule is super flexible, so I can give your pets the love and attention they deserve all day long. I like to keep your pets on their regular schedule so they can feel calm while their parents are away, so you make the rules and I'm happy to follow them! I have great references and reviews that I’m happy to provide. Hope to see you and your pups and kits soon! I work remotely, and my schedule is super flexible. I’m available seven days a week. My schedule allows me to be very accommodating to all of your pets’ unique needs. My wife and I live in Greenpoint with our dog Goose. We are open to having your pets stay at our house or dropping in for walks or visits.

“Eleanor was a great walker for my dog, Nova! She was very communicative about everything while I was away. I really appreciated her care to accommodate all of Nova’s quirks. Highly recommend!”
“Cheryl walks Slash every week - she’s been a great help to us as we are in the office more often. She’s very communicative and adjusts what she does with Slash depending on weather or how energetic he is that day. Would definitely recommend Cheryl to anyone who needs a reliable dog walker!”
“Nikki & Chris are incredible and treat Harley like their own and communicate incredibly well. Feel comfortable traveling knowing Harley is well taken care of!”
“Onyx is always reliable, communicative, and responsible. I have trusted her to walk my dog Lucy every day and she has never missed a day without advanced notice. She always keeps me updated and pays close attention to any changes in behavior. I always felt that Lucy was safe and I didn't have to worry about her while I was at work. Unfortunately we are moving away or I would continue to use her service. I could not recommend her more!”
“Brismar has been walking our 4-month-old puppy and the puppy loves it. The reports we get back are helpful, like today “she is more obedient now, maybe because she trusts me more” and “I got a lot of kisses.””
“Mary is amazing she is so sweet and affectionate towards my dog and has been available last minute for extra/ longer walks. I feel good knowing my dog is cared for by her!”
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs and have been around animals my entire life. My family has three cats at home, and not being able to have pets in the city is genuinely one of the hardest parts of the move. Pet sitting and walking is my way of staying connected to that. I’m active by nature and work at a Pilates studio, so your dog will always have an energetic, attentive person on the other end of the leash. I work at a Pilates studio and have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my routine regularly. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting depending on the day, and I’m happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet. Between shelter volunteering and helping foster dogs in college, I’ve handled animals in all kinds of situations and environments. I treat every animal like my own, and having grown up with both cats and dogs, I’m comfortable with different personalities and needs, whether that’s a shy cat or a high-energy pup. I’m attentive, calm, and genuinely invested in making sure your pet feels safe and loved for while you’re away.
About: Moving to East Village near the dog park! I've grown up with 2 crazy wheaten terriers so I have a lot of experience with high maintenance dogs including walking, grooming, feeding, and most importantly - loving them. In London and the U.S., I've had many repeat customers on Rover and therefore have experience in all kinds of temperaments, feeding requirements, walking schedules, and even the occasional medication administration / vet visit. I'm in event planning but my role is WFH most days so please message if interested - my schedule is very free right now. Work in event planning but WFH most days. My routine consists of working out, walking, and cooking for myself during the week! Very social person and always love to bring the doggies along with me if I can :) Whenever I'm in someone else's home I make sure to follow their house rules and kept the place tidy. I'm only available to house sit or go on walks right now but in London, any pet I had was free to sit on the furniture and roam freely around the flat.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. My grandmother has bred and shown award winner Golden Retrievers under the kennel name Elysian Goldens based out of Colorado. For many summers growing up I would work w/ my grandmother on fielding training exercises, obedience classes, and grooming operations. I’m currently studying full time for law school so my schedule is very flexible and am readily available. I’m located in Manhattan and can commute at a moments notice. I have a studio apartment in Manhattan. It is a safe, clean, and well kept living space and can accommodate all things dogs and pets
“Aria was wonderful! This was her first time walking my 2-year-old dog, Rupi, and I couldn't be happier. She arrived right on time and took Rupi on a beautiful walk around the neighborhood. Seeing Rupi after work, so happy and relaxed, I knew she was in great hands. I will definitely be booking her again—highly recommend Aria.”
“Appreciated Phillip working with my schedule and covering for my usual dog care. He has an awesome attitude and was great with my little fussy fur boy. I will definitely reach out to Phillip again!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, including a senior Cocker Spaniel who lived to 16, an adult Rottweiler, and my current Labrador mix rescue, whom I’ve been training using positive reinforcement. I’m comfortable with senior dog care, large breeds, and basic training, and I always provide patient, attentive, and reliable care tailored to each dog’s needs. I’m consistent with daily walks, feeding, and training, and I structure my day around my dog’s needs. I provide morning and evening care, plus extra exercise, attention, and training time on weekends. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort in both my home and clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, and medication, and I use positive reinforcement to reduce stress and build trust. I keep a close eye on behavior, energy levels, and any health changes, especially with senior dogs. In clients’ homes, I respect their space, follow all instructions carefully, and ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times. My goal is to create a calm, familiar environment where pets feel safe and cared for.

“The absolute best sitters - thank you both for always caring for Nalu like your own and always taking the time to truly understand and accept her LOL”
“First time booking on Rover. Elaine is very accommodating and I was able to book her on short notice. I have a six month old pug puppy who is very energetic and just got a neuter surgery, and she was able to accommodate his needs and care for him. She sent photos while I was away, mainly of him napping so I know he was tired out. She provided feedback on his pulling behaviors on walks and suggested different types of harnesses. I will definitely book her again, and thank you, Elaine!”
“Lal was amazing! She watched our puppy and was very communicative and committed to taking great care of him! It was our first time leaving him and we were so pleased with her and are glad to have a trusted sitter!”
“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!”
“Anky watched Penny while we were away for a long weekend and she was extremely communicative and reliable, sharing lots of pictures and updates! We will definitely book with her again!”

“Each time we leave Nutmeg in Euitae’s hands we know she will receive the best care and love. She loves staying there and her walks in the park, and we love the photos, communication and updates.”
“This was the first time we had ever left our dog with anyone except for my parents but Jen made it absolutely worry, free. We have an older dog with medical issues and so suffice it to say he needed more care than your average pup. But Jen's kindness and expertise made it so that Whiskey had a great time which allowed my husband and I to have a great time on our getaway as well. Five stars would recommend Jen !”
“Maria was super responsive to all of my questions before booking and let us do a meet and greet before my dog stayed there. My dog has some specific needs and Maria accommodated perfectly!”
“Ayush was wonderful with our dog! He made sure he was comfortable in his house and that he got along with his dogs. Super communicative and sent us plenty of pics! Will definitely book with Ayush again!”
“Booked a last min 5 night stay for my senior golden retriever! I sent an essay of instruction and Starry + Gio did an amazing job taking care of him. It was literally the coldest winter/weekend in NJ/NY area in the past 10+ years. They kept me updated constantly with walk pics throughout the day and pics of him in general! I was very happy to know that their dog (Walnut) is a sweetheart and gets along well with my dog! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable and responsible couple to dog sit. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“Elena was able to take Kiwi last minute while I had a family emergency. Not only was she able to step in, she did an amazing job with Kiwi. I knew Kiwi was safe, all her meds were given to her exactly as needed and she got all of her daily walks! I got updates and pictures, Kiwi had a great time with her 🩷 I would absolutely use Elena again, I feel lucky to have found her. I highly recommend Elena for any pup but she did especially great with my sensitive, high maintenance girl.”
“Renzo took great care of my little Xina while I was away. This was the first time I left my dog for an extended period of time and Renzo made me feel at ease from the moment I dropped her off in his care. He sent tons of photos and videos daily and I knew my pup was sad to leave his care. I think she loved him more than me! I will definitely be using Renzo's services again.”
“Heather was great. She kept me updated with pictures and anecdotes during Fergus’ stay and kept him entertained and safe. When she was unable to be with him she let me know and made sure he was cared for by her partner. She followed my instructions to put his scavenging muzzle on everytime he left the apartment and I was confident he was in good hands. Thanks, Heather (and Noah)!”
“Ashley was so amazing - she went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were cared for (especially when my little pup was having stomach issues unexpectedly). Nothing phased her and she was super communicative along the way. Can’t recommend her enough. Trust her 100%!”
