“I am one satisfied customer. Ryan took excellent care of my dog for one week. He stayed in contact with me for the duration of the week via text and emails. Ryan sent several pictures not to mention asking questions pertaining to my dogs needs. He is an excellent dog sitter. Trust me when I tell you booking him is a fantastic choice!!!”
“Roman was an incredible host and I felt incredibly comfortable throughout our time away. He took our golden retriever on multiple long walks each day, snuggled with him and kept me informed every day of their adventures. I highly recommend Roman and very happy to be a positive reference for him.”
“It’s official, Magnolia did not want to leave Sabrina this time! Our dog always has the best time and Sabrina gives amazing updates. I feel so comfortable knowing magnolia is receiving great care.”
“Euitae was the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. Euitae was responsive and so so attentive and caring for my senior guy, Jack, taking Jack for lots of walks and adventures in the park, and even a dog café where Jack got to make new friends. I’m so incredibly grateful for Euitae and 1000% recommend him as a sitter! I can’t wait to call Euitae again, Jack had an AMAZING time.”
“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!”
“Bridget was absolutely wonderful with my Shihpoo. He was exceedingly well taken care of for a multi-day stretch. I will continue to rely on Bridget!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Took wonderful care of our little Penny. She came back happy and well cared for, and John was perfectly communicative before and during her stay. Would highly recommend trusting John with your fur baby.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our puppy than we got with Wei Han. She took care of our pup like it was her own. More than just taking care of her, she gave our puppy new experiences while we were away. She’s incredibly responsive and sent daily updates making the experience totally stress free.”
“Another excellent stay! Max really enjoys his time and ample walks whenever he is in Iliana's care. She always keeps us updated with photos and max really loves the attention. I look forward to booking again without hesitation for my boy.”
“Our pup Esther had not been away from us for a full week and had not spent the night in anyone else’s home. Eleanor quickly charmed Esther and took good care of her - she asks insightful questions about dog behaviors and character. Most importantly, Esther returned home calm and and happy. Also better socialized with other dogs! We will rely on Eleanor again!”
“Michael was a total professional. He took great care of my 3-year-old dog during an extended stay and was consistently responsive with texts and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. He was also very flexible and accommodating with pick-ups and drop-offs. I could tell my dog had a great time relaxing on their couch and felt right at home.”
“Deibi and Tiffany took wonderful care of my two dogs over a long weekend. I received detailed updates, photos, and videos everyday. Tiffany was super responsive and she’s so kind! My dogs didn’t want to leave!!!”
“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 😄.”
“Heather was fantastic with Dubu! As a rescue owner, I was a bit nervous about boarding because of her shy temperament and specific safety needs, but Heather was incredibly gentle and understanding from the start. She provided detailed text updates and photos that put me at ease. It was also great to see her getting quality walks in the park, and I loved seeing her hanging out with Heather’s dog, Stevie, also gentle soul. Heather was professional, flexible with my schedule, and clearly knows how to handle dogs with more complex personalities. I’d highly recommend her to any pet parent, especially those with rescues who need a patient and caring environment. Thank you!”
“Aydrian is very knowledgable about dogs. He felt out Dahlia and figured out the best way to handle her. He also gave us great tips on how to walk/train her so she doesn't pull. He was very attentive and kept us abreast of everything that was going on, including photos. The last time we used Rover she was a puppy, but now that she's an adult she has changed, it was our fault for not noticing and being clear that she is shy and nervous at first. I highly recommend Aydrian.”
“Another great boarding with Marlene! My dog was so happy to see her, and it was great to leave town knowing she was in the best hands. I got regular photo updates, and my girl looked happier and healthier when I picked her up than she did when I dropped her off. I think she's a little sad to be home though...😂”
“Angelique was a lifesaver. She took care of our sweet boy while we were away for the weekend. She was so attentive and communicative when he had unexpected stomach issues and made sure our boy was well taken care of. Truly appreciate her and could not recommend more highly!”
“They were amazing with Onyx. Sent me daily photos of him playing and interacting with other dogs and while on walks. They were very responsive to all messages.”

“Angelique was an amazing sitter for my cat Daisy! She was always on time and she really engaged with Daisy, making sure she got lots of playtime and love. Angelique cleaned and swept the litter which was much appreciated, and made sure Daisy had food and water. Every visit she sent lots of adorable and artsy photos! Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Victoria did an amazing job taking care of my cats. She was friendly, easy to communicate. I was nervous leaving my cats with a new catsitter, one of them can be anxious with new people. Victoria was very gentle with her and the cats were happy and relaxed when I came home. Victoria also followed the instructions I left perfectly and left our place tidy and clean. Highly recommend!”
“Ryan was very kind and communicative; and very responsive. Our cats (including our shy cat) trust him and like him a lot. It was a pleasure working with Ryan!”
“Talya watched our cat while we were out of town for a couple of days and did a fantastic job. She provided great updates and went above and beyond to care for our cat. Unfortunately, our cat got sick during the time Talya was watching her, but Talya provided great care and updates (as well as cleaned up after her). I am so thankful to have found Talya on Rover and truly felt so comfortable with our cat in her care. She is extremely knowledgeable and I could tell she truly cared for our cat. I can’t thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone!”

“Scott did a wonderful job and I am sure we will book him again if we can. It’s always a little nerve-inducing to leave our cat behind when we go out of town, but he made it so much easier! Scott ensured our cat was happy, healthy, and well looked after. Thank you Scott! We highly recommend him to anyone.”
“Monica is so amazing with our cat! She gives super thorough updates on her visits with him, is so loving and attentive with him, and is just really great for us to work with too!”
“Monique did a wonderful job checking in on and feeding our cat for a long weekend while we were away. It was our first time leaving him so we were a bit nervous, and Monique really came through for us (at the last minute as well!).

“Rebecca was so nice, very communicative, and took such good care of my cat!! I would definitely hire her again!! Thank you for the thoughtful care, Rebecca!”

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!
“Kelli was awesome with Maya! Maya had an awesome time and Kelli was also very flexible with us when we were running behind. Will definitely use her again!”
“Tracy was so wonderful with our dog. He rarely gets the chance to have play dates with other dogs so we were a little worried but Tracy reassured us that everything would go well and provided lots of updates and pictures of him playing with her dog! Would definitely book 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.”
“We have a five-month-old puppy who’s full of energy, and we reached out to Chen last minute hoping she might be able to help. She kindly accommodated us, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Throughout Peanut’s stay, she showed the utmost attention to detail and gave him so much care and love. She also sent frequent photo and video updates, which truly put our minds at ease knowing he was in great hands. Peanut had a wonderful day with her, and we can’t thank her enough for the peace of mind and the exceptional care she provided! 💛🐾”
“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.”
“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”
“Urvi was great with Ruckus! He's our 4 month old pup who has a habit of living up to his name, so we were really grateful to be able to entrust him with her for the day. She was very responsive and helpful in booking, helped make sure all the important care info was communicated ahead of time, and sent pictures/videos/updates throughout the day. Ruckus seemed to have a great time, and he was clearly happy and relaxed when I grabbed him at the end of the day. We would absolutely recommend Urvi!”
About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember! I've dog sat, been a dog walker, and have taken care of all sorts of breeds and dogs with special needs -- feeding, walking, bathing, and snuggling! I work from home full time so I’m able to meet whatever needs your pup has and I’m happy to be with them all day! I live with two dog-loving roommates who would be tried and true playmates for your pups! Our apartment has a good size living room and hallway for inside play, and we live right near Riverside park. I've stayed in others' homes while caring for their dogs for extended and overnight stays and I am courteous, clean, and respectful of your space and privacy.

“Shaye is lovely and so attentive to our pup. We have a 1 yr old min dachshund that’s never been left in the care of someone before. Shaye put us at ease and accommodated our special request (no stairs). Shaye is now scheduled to watch our dog every Monday and it’s been great!”

“I have been working with Brandon for the past couple of weeks while I have been fostering a puppy, Zen. I cannot say enough good things about him! First off he is great with Zen. He treats Zen as if he’s his own. Brandon has helped build Zen’s leash skills. He very patient with him and encouraging. He sends me great notes about the walks and Zen’s overall behavior.

About: Dogs are a member of the family and I believe they deserve the best life possible through all the sniffaries and enrichment their hearts desire. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and I currently have an aussiedoodle with special dietary and grooming needs and foster pups through MuddyPaws NYC. I only take 1 dog at a time so your pup gets the attention they need. While I’m not a professional dog trainer, I strongly believe in constantly and consistently training dogs through positive reinforcement only. I do not go to dog parks or let dogs off leash for their own safety and to avoid reactivity. I’m well versed in dog body language and believe mental enrichment activities along with physical exercise leads to a happier pup. I love taking pups to any place that is dog-friendly because they too deserve to explore the world and live their best lives possible. I am currently a full time stay-at-home dog mom and am flexible to care for your dog’s needs and can take them out for regular walks. It would be helpful to have a general overview of your pup’s personality and I’ll follow any instructions you have. To avoid reactivity and for safety, I do not take dogs into dog parks or let them off leash ever. I have a patio for smaller dogs (20lbs or less) to go outside but larger dogs are not allowed since it is 5 stories up and has a 4ft wall on 2 sides. I will care for your dog like they’re my own since they deserve the world.
About: Hi! I am a premed neurology researcher on the Upper West Side looking to support my application fees. I currently have a medium-sized dog named Alfie who I take on long walks everyday in Central Park (only 2 blocks from my apartment). I grew up with pomeranians and fostering large and small dogs so I am familiar with different temperaments and sizes. I am currently waiting to start my new position so I am available to care for your furry family member at your convenience. Once I begin my role, I only work three days a week so I can still walk your dog then as well. I have a 40-lb Keeshond who is very friendly and loves to play. If you are looking for boarding, my dog will be in the apartment as well but I can make sure they get acclimated.
About: Hi!! My name is Jolie, and I have loads of experience with all sizes and personalities of dogs:) Before moving to NYC I had a high needs senior dog who taught me so much about how to make any dog happy and comfortable! I have so much flexibility in my days! Because I’m a school teacher, my days are mostly open with the exception of evenings when I have a singing gig every once in a while:) Because I offer walks and drop ins, I find it very important to communicate with the owner as much as possible so I have the information I need to cater to their dog’s needs! I also love to take pictures and share with owners:)
“Julia was incredible with my dog! My dog had a health scare mid week and she was able to quickly identify something was wrong and alert me appropriately. I highly recommend working with her!”
“Kate is an absolute gem to work with. She came to my apartment once before our first walk for a meet & greet. I could tell right away that she was a dog person by how calm and comfortable my pup was around her. I would recommend her to anyone for dog walks and dog sitting!”
