“Jatna is amazing! So communicative and flexible. Took our pups in with a last minute request and they were so loved. Will absolutely request Jatna in the future!”
“Bridget was great! She is very friendly and took great care of our dog. She shared photos and updates, which made us feel better as first time Rover users. Additionally, our dog came home relaxed and at ease, so we know she was well cared for. We would definitely ask her to watch our pup again.”
“To say that Kessy went above and beyond would be an understatement. She took such amazing care of Chutney while we were out of town. He had some tummy issues during his stay and she was extremely attentive, informative, and pleasant throughout, even though she got more than she bargained for. Kessy clearly loves dogs and it was a comfort to know that Chutney was I'm such good hands.”
“Iliana was great! She was very responsive and sent many updates and pictures throughout the day. She was loving and attentive to my baby Bailey and I will be using her again in the future. I highly recommend her.”
“Sammi and Jason were wonderful hosts to Fala. We had a meet-and-greet at their apartment so Fala could acclimate, which she did right away, and the night's stay went smoothly. Sammi sent me updates and photos, and asked insightful questions about how Fala typically adjusts to new environments (which is to say, a bit tentatively - no worries there). I appreciated the questions and have already booked another stay!”
“Ryan and Jefra took wonderful care of Pika! They were very responsive and accommodating, and they sent me regular updates and beautiful photos of my pup during the week I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Yusuf was amazing with Tonka! He sent us multiple daily updates and was always quick to communicate with us or to clarify if he had questions. He has a backyard which he allows the dogs to run around in and was looking after multiple dogs, so tonka had the time of his life playing. Above all Yusuf clearly cares about the dogs he is taking care of and Tonka has never been so comfortable staying in a new place. We wouldn't hesitate to ask Yusuf again!”
“Ryan has watched our pup Boots a few times now, and every time we do drop off, it’s a treat to see just how excited Boots is. Ryan is attentive, considerate, and kind - exactly what you want in a sitter. Thank you Ryan!”
“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!”
“Best ever. She was very understanding about my delayed traveling and babysat my dog for an extra 12 hours free of charge! Shes very sweet, caring, and I could tell my dog was very happy after a 3 night stay. Highly recommend”
“I was kept informed throughout my dog’s 10 night stay with Aleksandr. Marlee is picky when it comes to dinner but Alek ensured that she was eating. I really appreciated the meet & greet along with the pictures he would send as updates during her stay. I look forward to booking Marlee a stay with him again in the future.”
“Steven did a great job with my cats. I was away for a long extended trip, and he gave me updates on how the cats were doing throughout. When I picked them up, they looked calm and collected. 10/10”
“Wei Han is the best! This is our second time booking with her and we will be booking her again. Our dog Teddy absolutely loves her and has the best time staying with her!”
“John really cares about my dog Barney. When I leave Barney with him, I know he’s in great hands. I have left Barney with John twice now when going out of town for trips and it went great. I highly recommend him.”
“Alyona is very kind, understanding and had me at ease knowing that my boys was in her care. I received plenty of pictures and communicated with her while I was away and knew that tigger, prince and lucky would have a great time with Alyona. My boys do miss her and I will recommend and will book again. Thanks so much!”
“Anton was very kind and accommodating of my anxious dog. It was the very first boarding experience for my dog, Reiki, and he was very nervous when we arrived at Anton's place. I was worried that he would stay restless, but I was totally wrong! Anton sent me photos and updates, which made me feel safe asking more of his service again. Reiki was able to calm down within hours under his care, and very much enjoyed spending time with him 😄.”
“Priyanka and her husband showed great care for Sage during his 4 day 3 night stay. They are stellar animal lovers and will be my go to whenever Sage has boarding needs.”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and love caring for animals. I’ve fostered 14 cats, including kittens, undersocialized cats, and cats recovering from surgery, as well as fostered two dogs. I’ve also been a neighborhood dog walker and have cared for family pets. I’m comfortable with animals of all ages and personalities and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate different pet care needs. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and provide consistent, reliable care based on what works best for you and your pet. I have my own cat at home, so pets staying in my home must be comfortable and get along well with cats. I always prioritize safety and make sure every pet has a calm, comfortable environment while in my care. For pets who aren’t comfortable around cats, I’m happy to provide care in their home instead.
“Janise was amazing! She took such great care of our dog, Chiara. She was very attentive, kind, and made sure Chiara felt comfortable the entire time. We really appreciated that she sent photos and videos every single day — it gave us so much peace of mind. When we picked her up, Chiara looked happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. We would definitely book with Janise again and highly recommend her!”

“I’d trust my cats’ life with Dennis. He is an absolute professional and attentive sitter. He’s always been there for me in a pinch and has accommodated scheduling issues. 10 stars!”
“As a new pup mom with some separation anxiety of my own, I felt completely at ease with Brittany coming by! She took multiple photos and wrote a summary of the visit, truly so helpful for a worrier like me. Absolutely recommend!!”
“Ai was awesome! My first vacation of 9 days and my cat’s first time home alone. My cat is a senior and used to my company. Ai was great: lots of questions to get to know Papi before hand. She was timely, left daily photos, videos and detailed notes! I had no worries about Papi feeling lonely. I returned home and it was so clean, no spare litter on the floor, no empty cans of cat food in the trash (she made it a point to take out the trash!) She brushed him daily as requested, Ai took care of the basics but also made sure to give him love in my absence. Thank you Ai!”
“I am very lucky to have found Alex here on Rover! He is truly an outstanding feline caregiver who is kind, caring, and extremely conscientious. He has a natural ease about him and knows how to make any pet feel comfortable and cared for. I have two young Ragdolls who immediately took to him. My shy little girl is on oral medication, but he won her heart and made certain that she received her proper daily dosage without any problem - along with an ample amount of brushing, which she loves. My big boy, who is as fearless as can be, had a great time playing with Alex. (They both really adore him!) He made certain my cats received their proper food and that the water bowl was always refreshed. The litter box was clean and very well-maintained. Also, the detailed daily reports and photos were very helpful and put my mind at ease while I was out of town. Lastly, Alex is just a really nice, trustworthy person! As we all know, that is so very important. I highly recommend him to you and your feline friends!”
“Really great experience! Steven stopped by every day to look after our cat while we were on vacation - communication was really consistent and clear and he's a pleasure to work with. Very strongly recommend Steven to anybody looking!”
“Shanese is wonderful! I couldn’t recommend her more. She is incredibly responsive, responsible, reliable, and consistent. She is definitely a professional and cares deeply for cats. She began our interaction with a request to chat and discuss my cats’ needs and preferences. She even brought over toys for them! She kept the space neat and was always kind and thorough. I look forward to booking her (hopefully!) soon!!”
“Marissa did an absolutely wonderful job caring for our three cats! Took time before the booking to come over to the apartment, walk through everything, and pick up the keys. Daily messages and photo updates made me so happy ! Followed all instructions thoroughly. I could tell Marissa genuinely enjoyed getting to know the kitties which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away, highly recommend!”
“Emily was great! She followed all the instructions I left for checking on my cats. During her drop-in visit, she played with them and sent plenty of pictures. She is moving soon, otherwise I would be a repeat client!”
“Excellent as always! This is the second time Charlie's cat sit for us and they were consistent, reliable, and took such cute photos of our cats! We would definitely use Charlie again.”
“Joyce was absolutely amazing when I went away! Checked in with me daily with updates. I have one very nervous cat that she was able to charm into playing and cuddling. Cannot recommend Joyce enough!”
“Maribel was wonderful! She took excellent care of my cats and always provided thorough notes and lots and lots of pictures! I would highly recommend using her to watch your cats.”
“Tess was very kind, super communicative and Elliot was so happy to see her! She took photos, gave him his needed treats, and wrote thoughtful notes during the drop in. I'm so glad she got to take care of Elliot!”
“Kristina did a fantastic job watching my two cats. My older cat, Orion, made the task of giving him his medication very difficult. She was patient and flexible the entire time, and I came home to two very well cared for kitties.”
“Clifmon took great of my two cats. He was polite, professional, and communicated with photos while I was away. When I came home from my trip, my apartment was clean and my cats were relaxed, completely themselves, and totally fine! I highly recommend using him to take care of your pets!”
“Ambroja is great. She was timely in her visits and kept our cat well fed and entertained during our absence, sending us photos and short videos every time. It was our first time using a cat sitter and she made the process feel very easy and straightforward.”
“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!”
“Meredith was such a pleasure to have to come and take care of our pets. From the first day she came to meet them, she was calm, kind, careful, professional, and cared so much about what she does and our animals. She asked many important questions, showing her own interest to provide the best possible care. Her communication was wonderful before and during her arrival and her detailed accounts made me laugh and put me at ease. Shes an amazing sitter and I hope everyone has the chance to work with her. I will be working with her again whenever the need arises. A++++”

“Alanis and Marco M. were absolutely amazing with Mila. From the very beginning, they were kind, attentive, and made her feel completely at home. They were also incredibly flexible with scheduling, which made everything so easy and stress-free. Mila was always genuinely happy to see them, and that alone gave me total peace of mind. I couldn’t be happier with the care they provided and would absolutely book with them again. Highly, highly recommend.”
“Jay and his partner Ana were incredible. Jay was highly communicative, accommodating and good with our puppy Kona. They went above and beyond to not only set up Kona’s crate and send us cute updates every few hours but also take her to the groomer’s for us and liaison between us and the groomer for that appointment. I know Kona had such a blast with their dog Dani and a visiting one, it was a really ideal daycare situation! We’ll for sure be back to them when we need help again.”

“Pablo had a great stay with Kehlani and was very happy when I picked him up. Additionally, Kehlani was very responsive before and during the time she cared for him. I was also appreciative of the fact she was available on somewhat late notice. I will definitely check to see if she is available the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Euitae saved me by still accepting Pluto even though Pluto had spent the night struggling with diarrhea without even blinking! and he took great care of him all day: Thanks again ++”
“Alyssa was perfect. Clear and consistent communication all throughout while watching my 2 dogs. She sent pictures and videos and consistently gave me reassurance that everything was going well and that my boys were happy. I would give ten starts if I could.”

“Jolie really came through for me and my brand new rescue, Irving. He’s still getting used to city life and everything that comes with it, so he is highly reactive and anxious. She was available the same day to do a meet and greet and was completely calm and unbothered by his jumping and barking even in her face. She put us both at ease and was really patient with him. She took Irving on productive walks in the middle of the day and he took to her pretty quickly. She is also very communicative and kept me apprised of location and how the walks were going. I’d definitely use her services again!”

About: My first ever job was taking care of the dogs and cats boarding at my local vet. I made $8/hour and loved every second of it because I got to hang with animals all day!

I have experience administering medication, bathing, cleaning up messes, and giving each animal the attention it deserves. I’m currently looking for a new full time position so I have total flexibility to care for your pets! I recently moved to Harlem with easy access to the 2/3 and 4/5 trains. I am a very respectful house guest and intend to leave all spaces as I found them (or cleaner!). I prefer clear communication about all expectations beforehand so we’re on the same page from start to finish :)

“Kadeem took wonderful care of my two girls while I was away, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. He was communicative, caring, and clearly treated them like they were his own. When my flight was delayed, he went above and beyond by helping drop them off, which took a huge amount of stress off my shoulders. That level of kindness and flexibility meant so much. I would absolutely trust Kadeem with my dogs again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate pet sitter.”

“Eric was an amazing sitter to my baby, Ruby! I just recently moved to NY and had to find a sitter for a trip that had been planned before I moved here. I would have never gone on this trip had I not found Eric. Ruby was so happy around him and from all the pictures I received, I could tell she was having a great time with him. He helped her socialize with other dogs, which was very necessary since the place where we lived previously didn't have many dogs around, he took her to the park to play and on the rainy days, they just hung out at home and cuddled. Her favorite thing ever! He was very loving and kind toward her and I know she's made a friend for life. I will definitely be contacting Eric in the future when I need someone to watch my baby again. I highly recommend him.”

“Alyona is very kind, understanding and had me at ease knowing that my boys was in her care.

My boys do miss her and I will recommend and will book again. Thanks so much!”
“Ivette was amazing with Linnie! I got lots of pictures, and am happy Linnie had a cozy home with new friends while I was away. Definitely booking with them again!”
“Anton was very kind and accommodating of my anxious dog. It was the very first boarding experience for my dog, Reiki, and he was very nervous when we arrived at Anton's place. I was worried that he would stay restless, but I was totally wrong! Anton sent me photos and updates, which made me feel safe asking more of his service again. Reiki was able to calm down within hours under his care, and very much enjoyed spending time with him 😄.”

“Natali took wonderful care of Griffin while I was away. She was very patient with all of his quirks and special needs. She was very communicative and regularly let me know how he was doing. I really felt like she made Griffin very comfortable in her home and cared for him as if he were her own. I’m also very grateful to her for being so accommodating when I realized at the last minute that I had booked for the wrong dates! I would absolutely trust her to watch Griffin again in the future.”
“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.
