“Thank you do much Melanie! You leot me updater everyday in regards to my sweet Milo and also sent me pictures of him. You took such great care of him and I will definitely be needing you again for December, I hope you’re available for my sweet boy! Thank you again☺️☺️”

“Priyanka truly went above and beyond to take care of my senior dog. She is the best caretaker I’ve ever had in Rover would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Lio is truly a beloved member of our family and is adored by my three children. I am very selective about where I leave him and rarely trust anyone else to care for him. From the very beginning, both Sayarlin and her husband were incredibly kind, caring, and attentive with our "big boy", who think he is a Chihuahua. Whenever I called or had a question, they were always responsive and thoughtful, which gave me great peace of mind. One thing I especially appreciated is that they have access to an outdoor space in New York, allowing Lio to get fresh air and feel comfortable outside of the apartment setting. Their love for animals is obvious, and they treated Lio as if he were their own. I highly recommend their dog-sitting service to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet care.”

“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!”

“Binta could NOT have been better. Igot wonderful pictures of my dog, looking comfortable and content. My "pup" is 9 years old and has not ever been away from me for more than 1 day. A bond was instantly formed. I felt very comfortable leaving Perdita with Binta. It was perfect.”

“Kessy is absolutely amazing, this was my dogs first visit with her, and leaving her with Kessy was the best decision we made. she sent us pictures, kept us updated on her walks throughout the day and feeding time. Definitely will be booking her 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. 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!”

“The service and communication was great! I received multiple photos of my Pepper playing and just enjoying life. I cannot recommend Marina and Renata enough. I will certainly be using their services again.”

“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.”

“Samantha was amazing! She took good care of my pup and even helped me carry his things inside. Would definitely book her services again. 10/10!!”

“Yuan was amazing!!! I'm always nervous leaving my pup with someone new, but he ended up having a great experience with Yuan. She kept me updated with photos/videos and was otherwise fantastic to work with. I 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.”

“Ethel is incredibly kind and handled our very large and high energy dog with ease. She provided consistent updates accompanied by photos and videos of our dog playing and having the time of his life. Our dog got so much exercise with Ethel and her golden, and was dropped off happy and exhausted. Would recommend her to anyone!”

“I really appreciate the attention and the care Jatna showed for my dog. I would definitely book her again in the future and highly recommend her to other people.”

“The best with my little Panini! My baby seemed so happy and was perfect when I returned. I appreciated the daily check ins and pictures as well as the prompt communication. Thank you again!”

“Giselle was great. This was my first time boarding my dog in any capacity so needless to say I was both nervous and apprehensive. Within an hour Giselle was providing videos and updates on my dog which helped my wife and I get comfortable very fast. Giselle is also very accommodating as we had to increase the stay one night which she did for us with no problem. There is a lot more to say, but overall I highly recommend her services.”

“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!”

“Vanessa took great care of my cat, Boo, this weekend, going the extra step to look after hus upset tummy. Vanessa is always super communicative, punctual, attentive to our needs, and caring. I highly recommend Vanessa!”

“Our young dog has separation anxiety, she screams and jumps at the door the entire time when we leave her alone. I'm so thankful we found Amanda so that we could have an evening out without worrying about what was happening at home. We loved getting updates and photos throughout the evening. The experience exceeded our expectations and we will use her again in the future.”


“Binta was a wonderful sitter for my Cleo! I appreciate how she took the time to get to know Cleo and wrote meaningful updates. Cleo is a shy, reserved girl but Binta was able to get through to her! I hope to book with Binta again in the future. Thanks for everything, Binta!!”


“I was so sad to leave my cat alone for the first time in years, and I can’t express what a godsend Selina was to me and him— she made the whole thing stress-free and easy!! I looked forward to her sweet updates and adorable pictures every day!! She took amazing care of him, and it was such a relief knowing he had a buddy checking in on him while I was gone. Would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.”


“Michele was incredible. I got pictures every day and my cats absolutely loved her. I have one that's super shy and by Day 2 he was friendly with her. Amazing. Thank you!”


“Dominick is really wonderful and attentive, and provides thorough and thoughtful reports on our cats. He also shares terrific pictures of them! He was especially helpful in putting our minds at ease by modifying our booking through the app when one of our flights was canceled. Thank you, Dominick!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been caring for them for over 24 years. In addition to helping friends and family with their pets, I’ve volunteered in animal shelters and gained experience with many different dogs. I treat every dog with patience, care, and respect. I work full-time, but pet care fits well into my routine. I’m available for care during weekdays and fully available on weekends. I always make time to give dogs proper attention, walks, and consistency. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow each dog’s routine closely, keep doors and leashes secure, and supervise interactions at all times. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment.
“Emily was a great communicator and excellent drop in sitter for our cat, Charlie, while we were away for the weekend! We are definitely looking forward to having her help again!”


About: I've been a cat parent for 5 years, so I can say I’m pretty knowledgeable. I know that cats are independent with their own moods and boundaries. Some want all the attention while others prefer to observe from a distance before starting to warm up. I'm good at reading their signals, whether it means they want to play, want space, or just want someone sitting nearby so they don't feel alone. I'm also comfortable with any type of cat care like administering medication, cleaning up the occasional mess, and keeping litter boxes fresh. I will treat your cat the way I treat my own furry baby! Patience, respect, and a lot of chin scratches 🥰 (if they’re into that)
“Brionna is AMAZING! I have a 2 year old cat that I recently adopted and was nervous as this was the first time I would ever be away from my kitty but Brionna’s calm and kind demeanor quickly put me at ease! She was so communicative leading up to the visit and throughout. Her daily photos and remarks let me know that Tortellini was safe, cared for and comfortable! Highly recommend and I’ll definitely be asking her to take care of Tortellini again :)”

“Madelyn was super diligent with reporting visits, snapping some pics, and reporting on my cat’s behavior and eating habits. Glad to have her in the neighborhood!”


“David consistently delivers excellent care and quality work. Kiki is always so well cared for and happy when I return. While I am away, I always have peace of mind knowing David is caring for Kiki and my home. He sends amazing photos and helpful updates.”

About: Growing up, there was always some sort of pet at home, more often than not a dog. I ended my dog-less drought when I dog-sat for a coworker. At the time I thought I was doing her a favor, instead, she reminded me how much I missed having a dog at home. Since then I've been dog sitting for friends, coworkers and fellow New Yorkers. I share my spacious 2-bedroom, Washington Heights apt, with a friendly 2 year old Frenchie, and several aquatic friends. Your dog(s) will feel right at home because they will be home. No place is off limits, except maybe the trash. I have experience with small to XL dogs and don't discriminate based off of breed type. I can even accommodate (on a case by case basis) dogs with aggressive tendencies. Age is not an issue, have experience with puppies to senior pup, can also accommodate special needs on case by case as well. References are available, as well as daily updates (text, facetime, skype). Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions. I'm excited to open my home to your furry one. I work from home and so i have plenty of time and attention to give to your pet. My schedules is pretty flexible as well. We can discuss any special requirements that you may have with any preferences that you may have to make you most comfortable with the stay.

“Patty is super friendly and was able to make it work in short notice. Our baby boy loved the company. He's a 4 month old puppy learning and she was patient with him, he had a great time!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Amazing Cat Sitter! Steven was incredible with my cat, Blue, during a 2-day sit! He was extremely kind, diligent, and followed every instruction to a T. I felt completely at ease knowing Blue was in such good hands. Steven provided updates, showed genuine care, and made sure Blue’s routine was perfectly maintained. I came home to a relaxed, happy kitty— always the best sign! I highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for a responsible and thoughtful sitter. Will definitely book again! -PN”

“Imari did a great job watching our little guy. She sent great pix and took him for walks and spent quality time with him. We highly recommend Imari! Thank you very much!”

“Jonathan was great with Ollie and was really responsive with a last minute booking to help us out! Ollie was comfortable enough to cuddle up for a nap. Really enjoyed all the pictures. We will definitely have him over again!”

“Kiky was absolutely fantastic with my 5-year-old Yorkie! She is incredibly patient and caring, which is so important for a smaller dog. I really appreciated how responsive she was throughout the booking, and the photos she sent were amazing—it was so nice to see my pup looking happy and settled. It’s clear she has a genuine love for dogs and takes great care of them. I felt totally at ease leaving him in her hands and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Sally was very accomodating and responsive. She agreed to take care of Rozie on such short notice and provided the best care! Will definitely recommend Sally to anyone that needs their little ones taken care of!”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and attentive pet lover with 6 years of experience as a dedicated dog mom. I understand how important it is to know your pets and home are being cared for by someone responsible, patient, and genuinely loving. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, giving lots of attention, and keeping pets calm and comfortable while you’re away. I also take pride in keeping homes clean, secure, and well cared for during house sits. I’ll treat your pets like family and your home with respect and care! I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, consistency, and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, check-ins, overnight stays, and making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Animals tend to warm up to me quickly because I’m calm, gentle, and attentive to their individual personalities and needs. I love spending quality time with pets, giving them affection, playtime, and patience so they feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for.
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs (including one I had of my own), I treat every pet like family because they deserve nothing less. I’m not just a sitter; I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and needs to provide personalized care and comfort. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, calm presence, and genuine love for animals. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, medication support, or just companionship, I create a safe, stress-free environment that keeps both pets and owners at ease. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around the pets I care for, ensuring they receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday feedings, or evening playtime, I plan my day to match their needs and routines. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly space where animals feel welcome and secure, keeping their routines as familiar as possible. When staying in a client’s home, I treat their space with the utmost respect while following all care instructions closely from feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles. I maintain open communication throughout each stay, so pet parents feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

About: I have grown up surrounded by animals—cats, dogs, fish, birds, and even a turtle named Harry who’s still swimming with us today (he was born before I was!). I have hands-on experience with pets at all life stages and understand the unique care each phase requires. From playful kittens and puppies to senior pets needing extra comfort, my empathy runs deep. I’m also comfortable administering medications and using pet inhalers. I live just a 10-minute walk from Bennett Park and 15 minutes from Fort Tryon Park—perfect spots for pups to enjoy nature, fresh air, and the sounds of birds in a calming, sensory-rich environment. My apartment is a peaceful, pet-safe space where your companion will feel safe and cared for. I currently share my home with Chapito, my affectionate and playful cat. He’s 1.5 years old and full of energy, but he’s also sensitive to the mood in the room—knowing when it’s time to play and when it’s time to wind down. I also live with my grandmother and aunt, both lifelong animal lovers. While I’ll be the one directly responsible for your pet’s care, their warm presence creates a calm and cozy, family-like environment that many pets really enjoy. Your companion will never feel alone in our home. If you are looking for someone reliable, empathetic and nurturing who will communicate with you thoroughly about your babies' well being-I am your pick! I currently have an open schedule so I would be very flexible on days and times that anyone needs. I am an early bird so I do try to get to everyone early, but I have no issue with individual requests. In my clients home, I make sure any exists are locked when I enter and leave, aware of the floor as I am near any exist as pets do like to run sometimes. I always check for stoves to be off, any electronics to be okay and not overheating. During summer I make sure pets stay cool however the family sees fit. This could also just mean cracking a window which usually should have a mesh screen, but windows do stay cracked open enough for their faces to feel fresh air. I clean the space at least once every few days depending on number of pets. Making sure there are no hazards or dangerous accidents that could potentially occur. In public, your pet will never be left alone nor unattended by my own eyes. If a situation seems unsafe for them, there is no hesitation by me to remove us from the equation. I do encourage a 'no-pressure' introduction meeting prior to official booking, it can gage how both the pet and you feel with having me service you!
About: Hi! My name is Ria and I am a long time dog lover with tons of experience caring for dogs of different breeds and sizes! I grew up with at most times 5 dogs in my house hold. This was a mix of big and small dogs and various breeds and attitudes. I have been through a pet smart puppy training with my dog so I am comfortable with training techniques being part of your pets routines! I am totally flexible on time and length of stay just looking forward to spending time with your pets! I live in an apartment building with my 9 year old female pug Daisy. Daisy lived with 4 other dogs while for the first 3 years of her life and got along great with everyone! She has loved having his Rover friends coming to visit since we started over a year ago! We lost our other fur baby Rondo in April 2023 so Daisy having company makes us all smile! Daisy pretty low energy but will gladly perk up when some young energy comes around. Our feeding schedule looks like twice a day morning and night with 3-4 walks per day. We are also open to accommodating other feeding schedules as needed. (Please note: grazing feeding does not work in our house due to the other dogs allergies and diets, if your dog typically grazes we are happy to offer food multiple times a day separately) We love having meet and greets before agreeing to have your pet in our home. And to see new places we’re happy to find a good halfway place between us! I am currently working from home with a flexible schedule. I can step away when needed and being that we live in such a walkable area, taking a quick trip outside is never an issue. I have a spacious apartment with my own pups that loves to sleep and snuggle. They are playful at times and loves being with other dogs. We can crate dogs if a crate is provided.
“Luis was the best sitter I’ve ever had. She kept me posted on everything my dog needed. She was so helpful and patience. It is so hard to find a good sitter especially for our furry babies. I will definitely be using her again.”

About: I have always loved animals and have dedicated my last twelve years to dogs and cats. From helping one client to hundreds! I am beyond reliable and trustworthy! I own a dog walking and boarding business on the Upper West and East Side of Manhattan. I have been working with dogs for over 12 years. From dog walking to boarding and training. I do it all. I love cats as well! No such thing as a pet left behind. I keep the same routine going. No need to change up anything! I can provide the same kind of love and routine that your pet is used to. Whether they come to my place or I stay at yours. From walks to feeding time and all the extra love that they require.

“Jaquelin has just started walking my dog and she’s been incredibly gentle and patient with my girl Maya. Her communication and updates have made it easy to trust her. She’ll be continuing the weekly walks with Maya.”

“Joon is absolutely fantastic! I had Joon walk my dog Toby five days in a row and Toby loved him. Joon is incredibly consistent, kind, and reliable. I am very relieved to have found someone so great and will absolutely have Joon walk Toby again in the future!”

“Sarah is amazing and truly takes such good care of my dogs. She understands them so well, and watches over them like they are her own. I never have to worry when she walks them!!! They also love her so much. ♥️”

About: I am a dedicated pet care provider that is comfortable with any animal shape or size. I am very passionate about my job and making sure the pet Im taking care of has all of its needs, and ofcourse some slight spoilage! I started out in dog daycares and moved on to do all kinds of animal care work. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies as young at 2 months old! I am educating myself to become a dog trainer and can help provide tips when it comes to building human-canine relationships. I can also do specials needs such as insulin shots. I am also in the process of becoming a certified Animal Handler in New York State, so I can further my education in animal care. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry baby! I currently work part time once a week at a Grooming academy. So i will have plenty of time during the week to spend time with your pet! I also live with animals so I am constantly spending my time walking feeding and caring for them. I walk the dogs at least 4 times a day. Morning, mid day, evening, and late night relief. Also depending on the weather a trip to the dog park. I live in a spacious apartment with 3 cats and two dogs. I have done my best to provide a sanctuary here for my animals and any visitsors who comes across us. I have one room dedicated to the animal with cat trees and soft spaces. Water fountains (for dogs and cats) and beds for lounging. I have gates for separation during feeding times and a nice big couch everyone is welcome to lounge on!

“Lee did a thorough meet and greet so that I felt comfortable before hiring him. He was communicative throughout his visit and was able to walk my 50 lb dog without any issues.”

About: I have been an animal lover since I was a little girl. I would jump at any opportunity to walk, feed, bathe, and cuddle the pets of my friends and family. As I have gotten older, the desire that I had to care for animals has not gone away. In fact, it has only gotten stronger. I currently care for a cat of my own, and provide services to friends whenever they are in need. I'd love to do that through Rover as well. I am currently a student, which gives me a lot of control over my schedule. My flexibility allows me to dedicate more time caring for your furry friends. Whenever you are in need of pet care, I will make sure that I am available for you. The way that I care for pets is very personalized, depending on the expectations of the owner and the needs of their furry friend. However, I will always make sure that the pet receives lots of affection and play time.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all ages & multiple sizes since I was 14. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping pets company, I make sure they feel loved and safe. Family and friends have trusted me with their pets for years and I treat them all as if they were my own. I am currently offering full-time dog walking and drop-in visits this May through August 19th . I'm comfortable with all breeds and sizes I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate afternoon and evening walks to fit your pups routine. Whether you need daily walks or check ins I’m willing to work with your needs. On weekends I’m able to spend more time with your pets and give them the love and care they need! What you can expect when you book with me: • Photo updates during every walk and visit so you always know your pup or cat is happy • Consistent, reliable scheduling I treat every booking like a commitment, not a favor • Flexible availability for morning, midday, and afternoon appointments • Same day and last minute bookings welcome when my schedule allows When caring for pets in a client’s home I make sure I follow their daily routines so that they feel comfortable and safe. I provide fresh water, food(as instructed) take them on safe and enjoyable walks, and spend time playing or just keeping them company depending on what they enjoy most so pets don’t feel lonely while you’re away. My goal is to make sure they’re safe, happy, and cared for just like they would be with you.
About: I’ve cared for animals of all ages. I used to go to zoology camps when I was a kid and used to want to be a vet. Having the trust of an animal is a privilege and a blessing and I do not take these things for granted 💙 I work part time at a fitness studio and substitute teach. I’d love to pop by and check on your furry loved ones or take your pooch for a walk before or after work or on weekends when I’m not with my own cat 🐈⬛ I love guidance and instructions - if you leave them, I’ll follow them to a ‘T’. Also, not to brag, but animals love me. In addition to wanting to be a vet when I was a child, a Disney princess surrounded by woodland creatures was high on the list!
“Leonore was a great, reliable dog walker. She reached out before the first scheduled walk to coordinate, and she was prompt each day she walked our dog. Highly recommend!”


About: I have a 1 year old Lab I raised from 8 weeks. Every dog is different, but they can all be set up for success! I'm available midweek, very flexible most days. Love meeting people pets, forming bonds, and helping out owners like myself. Being the parent of a young dog, I feel very good about what it takes to keep a pet happy and engaged, so they don't become bored and get mischievous 😊 I want to meet the pet where they are on any given day. Keep them engaged, hydrated, fed, and happy. I'm open to learn and participate in any routine!
About: I was a volunteer supervisor at the same no kill NYC rescue organization weekly from 2007- 2020. I have cared for dogs and cats of all types with all kinds of issues. I have worked as a dog walker and watched cats prior to Rover. I have fostered and owned both dogs and cats. I have watched up to 5 dogs at any one time in my own home. My current senior dog is petrified of NYC and I do everything it takes to make her walks as pleasurable as possible. I truly love them all. My avail is usually early morning, evening and weekends but will flex whenever possible. Please reach out and ask. I am very responsive. Thank you! I will follow the client's instructions for their pets. I know how important it is to take care of a pet per the owner's instructions. I will only alert the client if I am not clear on the instructions or detect some sort of danger.
About: I have had plenty of experiences in both animal & children care, having temporarily worked in a daycare and having had friends/family that rely on me to be present knowing I’d be glad to look after their furry friends. As much as I’d like to say they have been professional experiences, emotional attentiveness and the time dedicated overrides anything. I place emphasis on the personal relations with the pet and the trusting comfort of their owner. And can’t wait to continue. I am exceptionally flexible and willing to cater to the needs and schedule of my clients. I am mainly available during week days :) . I offer dog walking services and in-home pet sitting. I go for a very balanced schedule of feeding, walks at the park, activity/movement and rest.
About: I have owned dogs and cats my entire life. Since 10, I have watched both dogs and cats. In my decades of experience, I have cared for small, medium, and large breeds, administered medication to pets. I have a fun and loving attitude and am excited to care for your fur babies! I'm currently working part-time and have plenty of hours in the day to drop-in or watch pets full time. I love taking long walks with dogs and snuggling them. I watch pets in their homes so that they are most comfortable. I am reliable and will follow and enforce any and all house rules for your pet.
About: I have an 18-year-old senior pup who is still as active and playful as when he was a puppy, and I have been his main caretaker since we adopted him when I was 10-years-old, so I have plenty of experience caring for dogs and prioritize keeping safe and happy! We also had other dogs growing up, so I am used to caring for multiple dogs, dogs of various ages and sizes, and dogs of all energy levels. Specifically, as my doggo has aged, I have a lot of experience with medicine routines, slower walks, attention to health details, and all other requirements of caring for senior dogs. In college, I would housesit for families with all kinds of pets (including rabbits, geese and chickens!) and this helped me pay part of my school costs. However, I enjoyed caring for other's pets so much, I have continued to do so for years after college! I love getting to know new furry friends and making sure they are happy, exercised, well-fed, and enjoying themselves while their parents are away! I am currently working part-time, and often only for a few hours in the evening, so I have lots of time and flexibility to care for you pup, prioritizing being available for prime walking hours in the sunshine! I am willing to work around my part-time hours to meet your dog's routine needs. I am willing to care for the dogs in your home so they are comfortable in their own spaces and can generally keep their normal routines. I am flexible and willing to follow any instructions about your space that you provide.

“Lio is truly a beloved member of our family and is adored by my three children. I am very selective about where I leave him and rarely trust anyone else to care for him. From the very beginning, both Sayarlin and her husband were incredibly kind, caring, and attentive with our "big boy", who think he is a Chihuahua. Whenever I called or had a question, they were always responsive and thoughtful, which gave me great peace of mind. One thing I especially appreciated is that they have access to an outdoor space in New York, allowing Lio to get fresh air and feel comfortable outside of the apartment setting. Their love for animals is obvious, and they treated Lio as if he were their own. I highly recommend their dog-sitting service to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet care.”

“Binta could NOT have been better. Igot wonderful pictures of my dog, looking comfortable and content. My "pup" is 9 years old and has not ever been away from me for more than 1 day. A bond was instantly formed. I felt very comfortable leaving Perdita with Binta. It was perfect.”

“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!”

“The service and communication was great! I received multiple photos of my Pepper playing and just enjoying life. I cannot recommend Marina and Renata enough. I will certainly be using their services 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.”

“Ethel is incredibly kind and handled our very large and high energy dog with ease. She provided consistent updates accompanied by photos and videos of our dog playing and having the time of his life. Our dog got so much exercise with Ethel and her golden, and was dropped off happy and exhausted. Would recommend her to anyone!”

“The best with my little Panini! My baby seemed so happy and was perfect when I returned. I appreciated the daily check ins and pictures as well as the prompt communication. Thank you 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!”

“Naomi was amazing with my pup Oreo! She took great care of him and kept me updated with photos and videos. I could tell he was happy, loved, and super comfortable. Communication was great. Highly recommend!”

“I’ve had a great experience with Vera dog-sitting my big boy Pit-bull. She was communicative, I had no problem booking with her and then talking over all the details about my dog and his needs. Vera took a wonderful care of him while I was away. I’ll certainly book Vera again! She’s a true dog-lover and a caring and responsible person. Pleasure to deal with people like her!”

“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 😄.”


“Shiva is the best and I really appreciate her taking care of Taifa. When i travel, I know that my doggie will be taken care of and given plenty of love and affection. Thanks Shiva and as always you Rock!”

“Anupa is the absolute best! She took care of our Toni like she was her own, taking her on more walks than we do ourselves, and snuggling with Toni every day. We really appreciated the pictures and videos we’d receive multiple times a day, which helped make the time away from our Pup fly by. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“I had an exceptional experience with the Rover dog sitter who took care of my two-year-old pup, Momo. Despite unexpected nighttime anxiety, the sitter went above and beyond to ensure Momo's comfort and security. Her attentiveness to his needs and dietary restrictions was truly impressive, providing me with peace of mind. Momo's happiness radiated through the pictures I received during his stay. He looked joyful and content, which reassured me that he was in the best hands possible. The sitter's excellent communication throughout the process further heightened my confidence in her care. Overall, I couldn't be more satisfied with the Rover dog sitter's exceptional service. She managed Momo's anxiety with patience and care, attended to his specific requirements, and maintained superb communication. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking top-notch care for their furry companions.”

“Jefra watched Finnegan while my mom and I went out for a day trip and she was so wonderful! Ryan was out traveling, but Jefra took a beautiful portrait of Finnegan and he made friends on walks and with the neighbor across the hall! He was very happy when we picked him up. I’ll definitely be booking with them again.”

“Wan and her husband were so kind and loving to my dog Sandy. They have a large fenced in back yard for playing and bathroom breaks. Wan's dog George is very friendly and made Sandy feel welcomed. I will definitely trust Wan to watch Sandy in the future. I highly recommend Wan.”

“Kadeem was an amazing host for Bruno. He was extremely communicative and even let me book a few extra days last minute. He sent photos and checked in all through the week. Truly a genuine soul with a huge heart. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking. 10 stars! 😌✨”
