“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!”
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful watching my dog; very friendly and kind, responsive, flexible with timing, sent lots of photos, and my dog seemed to absolutely love her. She kept him active and also gave him lots of cuddle time. She was a great sitter; I will definitely plan to use her again and highly recommend her.”
“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!”
“John is great with my tiny poodle! My girl Eva has anxiety and I know she must be crying for me pretty badly at first.. since she annoys my own family when I leave. When she comes back home after a stay at John’s she is literally so much more relaxed 😌 He communicates with a daily update that brightens our day. Thank you John for the care!”
“Meilin was great! She shared lots of pics and updates, and my dog seemed to be very happy staying with her. She was also very flexible with pick up as I had delays in my trip and I appreciated that!”

“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”
“Tiffany and Joel were amazing through all of Lily’s stay! They provided consistent updates with pictures and videos and always responded immediately if I reached out. They were also boarding another dog at the time that Lily adored! I loved that she could be social there! They were very accommodating to switch from drop-off to a late pick-up when I had an unexpected flight delay. I felt comfortable and at ease with Lily at Tiffany and Joel’s! I will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Could not recommend Sanaz enough, she is communicative, charismatic and reasonably flexible about drop off and pick up. We have a big, high energy dog and he came home a tired boy!”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received. From the moment we left, we had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such loving and capable hands. They went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for, while keeping us updated with photos and messages throughout her stay”

“Ava was amazing with Ollie! She took care of him very well and was patient until he came out of his shell. He can be a bit shy at first but he ended up loving her and was comfortable to play with her and loaf next to her on the couch! Thank you Ava and I’ll definitely be booking you again :)”

About: I’ve cared for cats of all ages and personalities, helping friends, family, and neighbors with feeding, playtime, and daily routines. I’m very attentive to each cat’s unique needs whether that’s giving extra patience to shy cats or keeping high energy ones engaged! I’m also comfortable with litter box cleaning, maintaining a clean environment, and following specific care instructions. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Brianna was amazing. Quick to respond to texts and very understanding about my cat being a bit shy and never tried to force her out to play. Would highly recommend Brianna for all your sitting needs!”

She has a great nature to her and from the beginning I felt that I could truly trust her with my pets care and wellbeing. I will absolutely be using her whenever I go out of town in the future. Cannot recommend her enough.”
“It left me with such a feeling of comfort and confidence having Esther drop in on my cats during the holidays. She was so communicative and caring! I’d recommend Esther to anybody needing someone to take care of their pet!”

“Linyan was an excellent communicator and took extra special care of my little one. I could tell right away that she really cares about dogs by the way she attentively listened to everything I shared at drop-off. My sensitive dog picked it up too and didn’t even cry when I left her. I will absolutely be rebooking!”

“Jordan & Sydney were great with Margo! They were patient with her and walked her multiple times during her stay for daycare. We knew she was in good hands for the day!”
“Sarah was an incredible sitter. We left our dog with her while we went out for a concert and she was extremely accommodating and flexible. She made herself available earlier, she fed our turbo with chicken and rice because we didn’t have his food on us, so she gave him her own food so he wouldn’t be hungry until late, and she was flexible with the pick up time being late because we were at a concert. She kept us updated with lots of photos, which I love! 10/10 sitter, would definitely recommend and leave my dog with her again.”
“We are now official repeat clients! Thank you for taking care of Jeter and taking beautiful pics of him! Thank you for accommodating us with such short notice.”

“Anky is amazing! She is prompt, caring and understanding! My puppy came back so happy and tired after a day of a play! She also kept me updated with pics of pup throughout the day! Highly recommend!”
“Yirui took such great care of my pup Naomi. Yirui asked detailed questions to ensure that she provided continuity and routine for Naomi, while also giving her a comfortable space to have fun and feel at home. She sent updates and pics throughout the day that made me feel at ease. The best part is that Naomi has made a new friend with Yirui’s pup Julie!”
“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.”
“Alejandra was great with Dexter! He came home so happy and well-socialized. I loved getting photo updates throughout the day, and I’m glad he had a doggy friend to play with—highly recommend!”
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.
“Churro loves visiting Kecia. She is responsive and accommodating to all of my dogs needs. I have to physically carry him out of her home because he loves her so much. Highly recommend using her services!”
“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.”
“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!”

About: I grew up in a house full of animals, especially retired racing greyhounds, and volunteered for years with Maine Greyhound Placement Service before moving to New York. I’m comfortable with everything from puppies to seniors, shy or anxious dogs, health issues and giving medication. I’ve also always had adopted cats, so I’m just as happy with cats as I am with dogs. I joined Rover because I genuinely miss having animals around all the time. My work schedule is flexible for daytime walks and drop-ins, and I’m generally free on weekends too. I have a flexible schedule most of the week and can usually fit in daytime walks, drop-ins or check-ins, with especially open availability on weekends. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly building directly across from a park, with Tompkins Square Dog Run also within walking distance if your dog enjoys socializing. If they’re more comfortable somewhere calmer, I also know plenty of quieter streets and walking routes nearby!
“Elisabeth was wonderful to coordinate with and was extremely responsive and prompt. She gave a detailed account of his walk with many photos. I would love to work with her again!”
“Siddhi was a great person to take care of my dog! She met up the day before to go over all the instructions, gave regular updates, and even gave me some tips how to walk my own dog. Kaisa is 60 lbs so I was worried about her pulling too much on the walk but Siddhi is very familiar with all types of dogs and this was no problem for her. Great service overall!”
“So incredibly helpful, went above and beyond for my dog. I would 100% use again. Really great with keeping you in the loop and being mindful in the heat”
About: I have experience with many different types of animals from farm animals to pets and disabled animals. Since I moved to NYC 6 years ago I’ve been pet sitting and loving every minute of it. I work part-time night shifts, so I have a lot of time during the day to check in on your pets, walk them, or watch them. I have a kitten myself! We have a cat tree, many toys, and separate rooms if needed for separation of care within my home. I’m also happy to stay over with a pet!
“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!”
About: DOG EXPERIENCE: I have been a supportive and loyal dog auntie for 7+ years to many of my closest friends! I have brought their dogs to my home, boarded at theirs, and provided ad hoc walking assistance and play sessions whenever needed for them. CAT EXPERIENCE: I am a lifelong cat parent! I had 2 cats growing up, both of which lived 10+ years with me in my childhood home! After moving to New York, my roommate and I co-parented her cat during our time together until she whisked him away to his permanent vacation home in SF. After moving into my own apartment, I adopted a 1 year old Tuxie who was FELV+. Caring for a cat with special health issues taught me how to be deeply attuned to appetite changes, litter habits, hydration, anxiety, etc. I also developed special skills such as administering various types of medications. While he unfortunately succumbed to his illness last year, I was able to adopt 2 three month old kitten siblings from the same shelter! I have learned through them the dynamics between male vs. female behaviors, post-surgery care with their spay and neuter, and navigating their growth spurts and the varying energy levels of young kittens. I have grown to truly understand what cats need most to thrive in their environments: routines, consistent play time and enrichment, reassurance, and just someone to feel fully safe with. What really drives me to pursue pet sitting is that I have had past experiences with sitters looking after my own pets that have not been satisfying, and since then I’ve been committed to providing support that is punctual and to a tee to the instructions given. I am primarily available on weekends Friday - Sunday at any given time needed starting from 6AM to as late as 11PM. There is flexibility on Mondays through Thursdays post 6PM based on the service required I understand how crucial it is to abide by your pets’ regular routine to a tee. New people are already anxiety-inducing and stressful for them as it is! When it comes to my own cats, I feed them 3x a day by my own hand, with snacks set up on an auto feeder twice a day. Cats need at least 30 mins of enrichment and novelty a day, so I typically play with them and introduce something new in the mornings and at night right before bed. I scoop their litter box 3x a day as well. I can also assist with any grooming needs such a nail clipping, teeth brushing, etc. For dogs, I have always walked them 3x a day for my friends and given at least 10 mins of playtime post walks.
“Vanessa is very communicative and always on time & responsive. She’s been a star working with our very skittish and nervous bernese and has successfully made friends with our dog - which is hard to do. We are very happy to have found her!”
“Eleni has been super responsive and even helped me figure out how to use the app! She’s patient, communicative, and has been so good with my dog Poppy. I look forward to working with her again!”
“Adam is responsive, caring and attentive! He goes above and beyond the call of duty (eg walked Finn for an extra 15 minutes to let him enjoy the weather) I would recommend him to anyone who loved their pup!”
“Gabriela took great care of my Olive. We did 2 walks in 1 day and she did a great job with both. He is definitely high energy and she was able to run him around enough to tire him out. I definitely recommend!”
“Raul is the best there is. His organization, proactive communication and warm aura give me confidence my puppy is in great hands. He is thoughtful and sharp, and considers matters related to her comfort and health before they become issues. In advance of my girl’s evening walks, he checks the forecast and communicates inclement weather that may require additional planning; that attention to detail is invaluable. 11/10!! We love him!”
“Sonya was friendly and flexible when our plans changed. She visited for a meet and greet, and my Goldendoodle warmed up to her right away. Glad to meet a nice and closeby sitter!”
About: I grew up with dogs in my household - mainly larger dogs - and love everything about them! When going to college, I continued caring for dogs by volunteering at the "Puppy Kindergarten" and the local animal shelter. At both places I walked the pups and, with the "Kindergarten" I had them stay overnight in my apartment. I just graduated from college and moved into the city this summer. I am starting my job full time in October, but looking to stay busy and get more dog time! I lived in NYC for 10 years growing up and know how to navigate the busy streets and parks with dogs. Additionally, volunteering at the animal shelter helped prepare me to take care of and walk dogs of all sizes and personalities!
About: Hi! I’m Esther - a lifelong animal lover who’s raised dogs from high school through adulthood and now has a pup of my own. I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby with someone new, and I care for every pet with the same patience, gentleness, and consistency I give my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and little quirks - from shy rescues to playful puppies to senior sweethearts who need extra support. I’m attentive to animal body language and emotional needs, and I always take the time to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and understood. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I can reliably drop in throughout the day - rain or shine - to keep your pet’s routine consistent. Whether your fur baby needs walks, meals, medication, enrichment time, or just extra cuddles, I’m happy to tailor my care to exactly what they need. Safety and cleanliness are extremely important to me. I always refresh water bowls, follow feeding routines closely, and make sure everything is secure before I leave. If you let me know where your trash can and cleaning supplies are, I’m more than happy to clean up any little “oopsies.” I can also vacuum or sweep up any litter that adventurous kitties might track around - whatever helps keep your home tidy and your pets comfortable. I also keep a close eye on pets at all times and send updates, photos, or videos so you always feel connected and at ease while you’re away.
About: I’ve worked at a dog daycare for 2 years and have been walking dogs for about 10 years now. At the daycare I stood with dogs overnight, walked them, fed them, administered medications and gave them lots of love and attention. Made sure they were ok, weren’t fighting or getting into any trouble. I also have my animal handling certificate. I had a Rottweiler for 11 years who I had to put down due to her having stomach cancer. It broke my heart because I considered her family. I’ve had 4 cats as well and a few other animals. I love all animals and believe they are more than animals they are family. They deserve to be treated as such and not any different. I work from home so I’m available majority of the day to walk and check in on dogs in the area. I am able to feed them, play with them and administer any medication, eye drops, ear drops, etc if necessary. I usually let animals roam free in my home and keep things that may harm them in places they are unable to get into. They are free to be on furniture and roam as they please. I run my own businesses and I am able set my own schedule which makes it very flexible. I can work with your schedule if needed. In my home I make sure there is nothing around that can harm the animal or make them sick of eaten. I make sure there is space for them to roam and keep any foods they are allergic too where they can’t get to them. In their home same rules apply I also follow any directions given by the pet parent to avoid any injury, harm or damage to the pet or anything in the household.

“Stella is amazing!! This was the first time we were leaving Norman for longer than a weekend so we were a bit nervous knowing he’s a high energy dog. Stella kept us updated every day with a mini recap of videos and pictures. She made sure he got enough exercise and play time throughout the day as well as stimulation. We were so appreciative of her helpful tips and thoughtfulness throughout his stay including giving him enrichment toys, lots of outside time, and maintaining some training habits. Her dog Koukla is also incredible and Norman had the best time playing with her (although I’m sure she is excited for some quiet time back). We couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
“Heather and Noah took great care of Inky. They made her feel at home and gave her plenty of walks and much requested butt scratches! Heather sent us lots of pictures and updated us daily. Would be very happy to have our dog board with her again.”
“I cannot recommend Ethel and her daughter enough! They take the absolute best care of my dog, Stevie, and treat her like one of their own. From the moment I drop her off, I know she is in loving, trustworthy hands. One of my favorite things is how many pictures and updates they send throughout her stay. It gives me so much peace of mind to see Stevie happy, comfortable, and having a great time. You can truly tell how much they love and care for the pets they watch. Finding someone you completely trust with your fur baby is priceless, and that’s exactly what I found with Ethel. I never have to worry when Stevie is with her. She goes above and beyond every single time, and I honestly wouldn’t leave Stevie with anyone else. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your four-legged family member as much as you do, look no further—Ethel is simply the best!”
“Daisy took excellent care of my dog, sending frequent updates and adorable photos. My pup was happy and calm when I picked her up, which says a lot! We appreciate the thoughtful efforts and look forward to future stays.”
“Astro was incredible with Dahlia, who seemed like she enjoyed every minute of her stay! It was very apparent that Astro treated Dahlia like her own pup, taking great care to keep her daily routines intact, even asking me about dog park suitability and walking habits. She assured me she could handle quite a strong dog, given her experience, and I had zero concerns the entire time. She also sent great photos and videos and checked in unprompted, which I really appreciated. I would recommend Astro to anyone, and would be grateful if Dahlia had the chance to stay with her again! Thank you Astro for taking such good care of our girl.”
