“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!”
“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!”
“Luis and Ana were delightful people who took great care of my elderly basset hound, and for 8 days no less! Highly recommended and would book with them again.”
“Eva was kind, flexible, and communicative. She clearly loves dogs and took good care of Wallace. But appreciated her accommodating my schedule around the busy holidays.”
“Iliana is caring, kind, and responsive. She's very accommodating with scheduling and logistics before boarding (doesn't mean you could abuse her kindness!). Main reason I chose her is that she has abundant experience taking care of dogs with separation anxiety and stays at home a lot of time. I'm so glad that my anxy baby could enjoy the company of her family and Iliana’s friendly puppy. My dog is a massive attention seeker and Iliana knows how to handle it well. Her puppy is also very well-behaved and could be separated by fence if your dog doesn't like hanging out with other doggies. Drop off and pick up were super smooth and she was quick with text responses all the time. Would highly recommend!”
“My dog had a great weekend with Adam and his dog Hermes! Adam took them out on walks/ dog park multiple times daily, and provided plenty of updates and pics. He even let my dog sleep on the bed! Highly recommend Adam, especially for small dogs!”
“Before Symone, we were one of those dog owners who thought we’d never be able to leave our dog. Loki was a pandemic puppy and I work from home full time so he's very attached. Thankfully Symone proved us wrong. She was so patient with his adjustment periods, and sent us constant updates. She also brushed Loki daily and worked with him as his apatite was low. We are so happy we found Symone and will definitely be using her again soon.”
“Angelique was absolutely lovely! She was extremely communicative and her love for dogs is apparent! Charlie was very well take care of during his stay. She made sure to stay in contact and provide updates. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Mykala and her partner took great care of my dog Tails! It was a fairly last minute request for multiple days of boarding so I was very relieved to find good caregivers for him. They provided lots of updates and Tails enjoyed spending time with their dog Boots. I would book again!”
“Thanks Bridget! Emma had a blast staying with you and Porsha! Really appreciated the nice photos and also the nice things you said about her 🥹. She came home happy, and I felt like she was in great hands. Thanks again!”
“Sabrina was amazing with magnolia! I’ve had unfavorable Rover experiences in the past so planned ahead and did a meet and greet. I could tell instantly how warm and genuine she is- she even read up on the notes before that meeting. I felt super comfortable heading into our weekend away. During the weekend she gave several updates and was generous with photos/ videos all descriptive of magnolias characteristics. I knew Magnolia loved her stay with Sabrina when I picked her up and she kept looking back for her to walk away with us! I will absolutely book with her again whenever she’s free!”
“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 😄.”
“Alice was great! Super responsive. Sent tons of great photos. Our dog was sad to part ways with her which is always a great sign. Would 100 percent recommend to anyone.”
“Lal, Matt & Hank were great! My doggy boys stayed with them for a week while we were travelling out of state and they looked like they were having a nice little doggy vacation themselves with their new found friends. Lal would keep us updated with how our boys were doing by also posting pictures and videos along with the texts and e-mails. Lal really took the time to get to know the boys well specially during their meet and greet. Plus the fact that their LabraDoodle, Hank got along very well with the boys made me really feel at ease. I would definitely pick them again for our upcoming travels. So happy to know that my doggy boys were in good hands while we were away. Highly recommended.”
“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.”
“Letty had the most amazing time!! Extremely communicative and I love receiving loads of videos and pictures of our baby!!! She had the best time with you!!”
“Roman is a spectacular sitter, you couldn’t ask for better! Very communicative and responsive, took great photos and sent lovely updates. My pup had a wonderful time with him and I’d definitely board with him again!”
“Xander is great! Millie had a wonderful time. Xander sent regular updates with photos. Xander was flexible when we had to extend Millie's stay by a day. I will use Xander again.”
“Jatna and Ruby bonded from the minute they met. Ruby was immediately comfortable in Jatna's home. I could tell from the photos that Jatna sent that she was having a good time and was being well taken care of. I would not hesitate to use Jatna in the future.”

“Outstanding cat sitter. During a long trip I was on, Ryan sent me photos, videos, and reports that made me feel reassured that my cat was okay and warmed my heart. He played with him and took care of everything on the list. Highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Ellie was amazing taking care of my cat while I was away on an international trip! She was super communicative and sent great pictures. My cat usually takes awhile to warm up to people but they hit it off right away. Will definitely be booking Ellie again in the future!”
About: I've had cats my entire life, rescues, fosters, my forevers. I honestly can't live without them in my life, and I will look after and treat your cat(s) like my own. I understand a cat isn't just an animal there to be petted, they need mental stimulation as well. Cats do get bored and do miss their humans. I also understand body language and sounds, would be sending updates regularly and happy to meet in person/video call first, before you make a choice.
About: Happy to help care for, pet, feed and clean up after your cats! Also available for administration of medicine and with any potential vet visits. Available for overnights and extended stays.

“Michelle has now pet sat for my cats twice and both times, she did a phenomenal job. Her notes and pictures were very helpful and appreciated. She is also does a very good job following the pet sitting notes when it comes to medication and feeding times. She is as ways very responsible and timely with her updates.”
“This is now the second time we hired Meredith to come watch our son and she once again was amazing! Great communication about arrivals and departures, very detailed accounts of the visits she had, and wonderful pictures of our boy! Our cat has grown to love Meredith so much that I’m sure he’ll be disappointed to see us! If you get the chance to work with Meredith, don’t pass it up! A++++++++!”
“Again, 10/10 experience with Steven! He is so attentive and always provides detailed updates for me daily. I really appreciate it while im away from my baby.”

“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 💛”

He asked great questions to make sure Ginger got the best care. He was also super accommodating and went above and beyond to make pick up and drop off easy for me. I'd definitely book again.”
About: Hi friends, I’m Lani & dogs mean the absolute world to me 💌 I bond with them until they feel like my very best friend, and I will treat yours as such.

I'm comfortable with grooming, walking, pet-sitting, and even overnight boarding, ensuring every dog in my care feels safe, loved, and well-cared-for! When taking on a new boarding/house-sitting client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to chat face-to-face about your care expectations and make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another! No one knows your dog better than you do, so these open lines of communication are a must with me. Offerings: - Fresh pet-safe vegetables & fruits upon request 🥕🫐 - Playtime, cuddles, and exercise (love running & swimming!) *2 min from Morningside Park* 🐕🦺 - Live photo and video updates every walk, meal, or goofy moment 📸 - A clean, safe home with HEPA Air filters & filtered water🚰 - Attention to meds or special needs 💊 (Just let me know all details in advance so I can make sure your pet is 100% comfy) I work remotely, so I’m incredibly flexible and the girl you can call on last minute! I can board on weekends, host doggy day-care during the week (1-2 days notice) and offer multiple daily visits. I am comfortable giving CPR if ever necessary (knock on wood!) and have 5+ highly rated Vets within just 2 miles of my home in Morningside Heights. I will always adjust my game plan based on your furry friend’s anxiety and comfort levels. I want them to feel as safe with me as they are when they’re with you!
“Tracy watched our pup Winnie for an evening out, and she had a wonderful time! We knew Winnie was in great hands—Tracy sent adorable pictures of her playing with Nookie, and when we picked her up she was so happy and tired! Overall we had a great first experience using Rover and would highly recommend Tracy in a heartbeat!”
“Jatna was a wonderful dog carer! She was able to host my dog last minute for three days of daycare and was so professional, caring, communicative, accommodating, and knowledgeable. My pup can be particular and I felt very comfortable knowing she was in Jatna's capable care. Thank you!”
“Anna was absolutely amazing! Her attention to detail and constant updates gave me the security needed while away from JB. John Buddy is extremely affectionate and clingy. I appreciate her and I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Lee is an awesome sitter who we have used a couple times now. Our dog is super nervous and the first time our dog spent most of the day visibly nervous. But Lee was not deterred and very patient, gave our dog space and tried multiple approaches to get in her good graces. The second visit our dog warmed up to Lee and was taking pets and giving her kisses by the end of the day. Lee is incredibly communicative and gifted with dogs, we are very grateful for her patience and sticking with it. We look forward to using her (and her family) again.”
“Brandon was very kind to our pup, Billie. He was accommodating to having a meet and greet ahead of the daycare session and sent photos during the day to show us our pup was having a fun time. Brandon is also very responsive to texts. We'd be happy to use his services 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”
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!
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.
“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.”

About: Hi I’m Kate, and I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 or 8 in my hometown, Baltimore, MD. I have experience in caring for elderly dogs, walking dogs in urban areas, socializing dogs at dog parks, and walking young energetic dogs! I’m in college in New York at Barnard on the UWS but I have a dog back home named Lucy who’s a chow-retriever rescue mix. I’m doing hybrid work this summer and in person work daily from 1-5pm, but can walk dogs before or after that! I am available and around on weekends as well. I am a college student so I cannot offer boarding services, but depending on where the owner is located I love walking dogs through Central Park, or any nearby park, as I love nature and the dogs always love it too (FYI I’m an environmental science and human rights major!)
“My pup absolutely adores Brittany! She’s super reliable and responsive and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for love and attention for their pups! Can’t say enough of about how awesome Brittany is. Thank you!”
“Brianna was absolutely amazing!! She was so quick to respond when I needed some last minute! So communicative, helpful, patient, and kind. I will definitely be using her a lot in the future:)”
About: I've been around dogs my whole life and have real hands on experience with animals of different ages, from young energetic dogs to seniors who need a slower, more attentive pace. I'm comfortable reading dog behavior and adjusting how I interact based on what each individual animal needs. Beyond experience, I genuinely enjoy it. This isn't a side job I'm indifferent to. I'm a nutrition science student which means I'm detail oriented and take health and wellness seriously, for people and animals. I notice things, I communicate well, and I show up the same way every time. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I'm genuinely a dog person, not just someone who works with animals. This summer I'm based in Harlem full-time, so I'm available for walks, drop ins, and sitting throughout the day. I keep a consistent schedule and I'm flexible with timing; mornings, afternoons, and evenings all work. Dogs get my full attention, not a rushed visit. I treat every home I'm in with real respect. I keep things tidy, stick to the routines the owner sets, and make sure pets feel settled and safe rather than anxious. I'm experienced with dogs of different ages and temperaments, and I pay attention to their individual cues rather than applying a one size fits all approach. If something comes up like behavior, health, or anything unexpected, I communicate right away. Owners shouldn't have to wonder how their pet is doing.
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, as I grew up with dogs my entire life and currently own three cats. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have also provided dog and cat sitting services for family members and friends, helping with feeding, walking, playtime, and general care. My experience with animals has made me patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Adapting to their different special personalities, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I have a consistent work schedule from 10 AM to 6 PM Thursday through Monday, which allows me to maintain a reliable routine and plan pet care responsibilities effectively. I am available before and after work for feedings, walks, playtime, check-ins. I also have Tuesdays and Wednesdays fully open, giving me extra flexibility and availability to provide attentive and dependable care for pets. My home provides a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment for cats. I currently have three cats and make sure they have plenty of space and entertainment, including one medium cat tree, one large cat tree, and a window perch where they can watch birds and squirrels throughout the day. Next to the perch is a basket full of toys to keep them active and engaged. I maintain four litter boxes that are cleaned three times daily to ensure a clean environment. While I’m at work, I leave cat TV on for extra stimulation and comfort. Each morning before work and again in the evening, I feed my cats wet food and refresh their water. While also occasionally refilling an automatic dry food feeder as needed so they always have access to food.
“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!”
About: I worked for a year during high school at a veterinary office and shadowed vets and vet techs, so I’m very comfortable with all pets and any issues they might have! I also grew up around 3 dogs and 2 cats, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I’ve spent years pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family, and absolutely love it. I especially enjoy dog walking and making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need! I’m reliable and attentive, and I can handle walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine and energy level, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I’m an NYU Stern MBA student graduating this spring with a flexible schedule now and even more availability over the summer. I’m available weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m respectful of your home and your pet’s routine, and I aim to keep everything as consistent and low-stress as possible while you’re away. I pay close attention to details like feeding schedules, behavior, and energy levels, and I’ll keep you updated so you always know how your pet is doing. I also love sending photo updates!
“Amanda is a great dog walker. Very responsive on the app, reliable, and my dog Luna instantly warmed up to her during the meet and greet. Amanda was excellent at providing updates and you can tell she truly loves animals.”
About: I've always had a love for pets, and I've had experience taking care of dogs specifically from a very young age. I've cared for neighbors' and family pets of of all ages and sizes with varied health conditions - trips to the vet, walking, feeding, bathing, and of course, playing with them! I am particularly fond of my family's two pups, Chanel and Scarlet, and would love to take care of yours while I am away from mine. :) I am free to be on pet duty primarily in the evenings, but am intermittently free during the day depending on my work schedule, which can sometimes be sporadic. I should be available Sunday through Saturday. I aim to establish a safe and trusting relationship between me and pets, allowing us both to cultivate a playful but responsible environment for each other. I will follow any and all specified house rules and be sure to enforce said rules when it comes to the pets' behavior in the home.
“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.”
