“I was looking for a sitter for my dog, Franky, and found Iliana on Rover. If you're looking for a sitter and considering hiring her, look no further and book right now! Her reviews speak for itself, but I will say that Franky did not want to leave her when we picked him up after his 3 night stay! She went above and beyond for Franky, sleeping with him at night, deshedding him, bathed him, took him out to the park. She never left his side, and is very caring to the animals that she watches and 'treats them like family' (her words), which is excellent. She texted us multiple pictures of Franky during his stay, which made us feel that much better, since we never leave Franky alone. That made a stressful time (for both us and Franky) that much more easier. We will definitely book her again.”

“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.”

“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!!!”

“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.”

“Marina was Fantastic!! She cared for Echo like he was her own. I received photos and messages letting me know about his stay. And when I messed up the scheduling dates she was very accommodating! I would happily have Echo stay with her again, he was very happy when I returned. Thank you!!”

“Yusuf was amazing with Tonka! He sent us multiple daily updates and was always quick to communicate with us or to clarify if he had questions. He has a backyard which he allows the dogs to run around in and was looking after multiple dogs, so tonka had the time of his life playing. Above all Yusuf clearly cares about the dogs he is taking care of and Tonka has never been so comfortable staying in a new place. We wouldn't hesitate to ask Yusuf again!”

“I want to give a big shoutout to Kessy for taking such great care of Kingston! She was incredibly attentive, kept me updated regularly, and made me feel so comfortable, especially since this was our first time leaving him. Kingston absolutely loved her. I truly appreciated the peace of mind she gave me while I was away, and I’ll definitely be using her services in the future. Thank you so much, Kessy, for loving on my baby while I was gone!”

“Bridget is the best sitter ever! Our little baby had a great time with Bridget’s sweet dog so it was like one long playdate. Bridget sent lots of photos to make us feel comfortable. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter experience.”

“Jatna is amazing and sweet. She took care of my cat very well with patience. And sent me text and pics regularly How my cat was doing. I sent a lot of items so my cat felt like He’s in home. Jatna packed all things clean and neat in a bag on the last day. I was very impressed!”

“My trip was very last minute. Had to fly out that day and Grace & Wu took my fur baby cat in. They updated me daily with pictures and texts! My kitty is a very shy one but he slowly adjusted. He was in good hands and I was at ease! Will definitely book again ! 💜”

“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!”

“Lal was great! Very communicative and Joey had a great time w Hank and her cat. Sent lots of updates and made us feel very comfortable during Joey's stay.”

“I had a last-minute work trip come up and Alanis and Marco were able to step in without any hassle. They were really flexible and made everything easy on my end. I got consistent updates while I was away, which helped a lot since I hate being out of the loop with my dog. This is my second time booking with them and both experiences have been smooth and reliable. I’d definitely book again!”

“Luisanna was great! I was really nervous leaving my little girl for an overnight stay but she took great care of her and kept me updated :) Nenya can be anxious and shy but when we picked her up we immediately noticed that she fell in love with Luisanna. Thank you so much! We’ll definitely book again :)”

“Yuan and her husband were amazing with our two cats! We booked their stay last minute and she was extremely accommodating. We loved all of the photos and videos. It was clear that they were very comfortable and well cared for! Highly recommend Yuan and we’ll be booking 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!”

“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.”

“Eric took great care of our rescue dog, Yoshi, for the weekend. Yoshi is a rescue with severe separation anxiety and a fear of strangers. Eric has a relaxed and confident demeanor that worked well with our dog, and also sent us lots of pictures and informative updates (what they were doing, how Yoshi's health was regarding a recent upset stomach he was recovering from). He's also a walker so I wasn't worried about Yoshi getting enough exercise. We look forward to booking Eric again!”

“Carmen took good care of my two skittish cats at her home. She sent me updates daily and was very prompt in responding to my messages about drop-off and pick-up. She even gave my Buddy a bath because Buddy peed herself in the carrier on the way to boarding (because she's normally pretty nervous about being out of the house). Carmen put my mind at ease when we were travelling. I highly recommend her!”

“Briana was a life saver accommodating a last minute house sitting booking on a holiday weekend! She took incredible care of my cat including administering medication. She takes her role as pet sitter incredibly seriously and is extremely professional, communicative , and conscientious. She also left my place very clean and tidy. Thanks Briana!”

“Lauren is the best. It was our first time using Rover and wanted to be sure our sitter was responsive and experienced. Lauren was exactly that. She sent photos and videos at every feeding and playtime. We’ll certainly have Lauren back to watch Arlo soon!”

“I was very nervous to leave Rumi with a sitter for the first time. She recently had to get on several medications to address some seizures she had a few months ago. Kristina was not only accommodating and attentive to Rumi and her medical needs, she also provided some suggestions and advise to help her eat her food better and play with her toys. And she was also very helpful by temporarily returning my keys when my flight was unexpectedly cancelled and rescheduled for the next evening. I was able to have a care free trip home and came back to a very happy and relaxed Rumi. Thank you again Kristina!”

“Denise is lovely and amazing!!! She took great care of my kitty and was very communicative. I would recommend her and if I needed catsitting services again I would definetly contact her.”

“Very responsive and organized for meet up. Nicole kept us posted on Tomas every time she was coming by the house. I felt very ensured having her taking care of him during my absence. Thank you Nicole”

“Olivia is amazing with pets! She goes out of her way to send me photos and a little description of her check in visits with me cat. I will be keeping her around for awhile! :)”

“Mabel took good care of our cats. Great experience overall! We got updates during drop ins, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Our cats were happy when we got back”

About: I enjoy leading an active lifestyle, being outdoors and in nature. In fact, that's why dogs have 4 legs-so they can experience more of the benefits of walking! My goal is to care for your dog as if my own child and to provide a SAFE time for play, so you have peace of mind. Also, I'm currently learning a lot about dog care & behavior from YouTube University 😄 It's rewarding to be responsible for taking care of someone's loved one-even for a nice short walk. Being around dogs is therapy and makes me feel like a playful kid all over again 💩 I'm always down to set up a meet & greet so we can chat about hobbies, food and more doggy details. Currently, I have a flexible schedule and always make time for going on walks, preferably afternoon and evenings. 👉🏻Tips for your dog that keeps pulling 🐕🦺 🐾 When the dog is walking in front it's the one in charge, that's no good 🐾 You want a loose leash dog at your side 🐾 Be aware of your BL. Don't tense up, be calm with relaxed shoulders 🐾 Short sideways tug of leash, if you want to change directions and take the lead 🐾 Use a firm 'NO', don't worry it's healthy Remember, practice and patience are 🗝️ I want to advocate for dogs because it's our public doodoo. It's meaningful for me to help protect our pets as this gives me a sense of pride and joy.
“Jessica is FABULOUS! She gave me such peace of mind while I was traveling for work, and she did everything I asked to the letter! I know my precious furballs were in good hands. THANK YOU JESSICA!”


“My first time booking with a sitter for my two cats while taking a week long vacation. Ambroja went above and beyond to accommodate my girls and kept me updated every step of the way. So very thankful for her. Super professional, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”


About: I have been raised around farm animals, cats, dogs, bunnies, birds, etc. I love animals and have been caring for them since I was a child. I love all fur babies like they were my own, happy, kind, loving, caring, compassionate and most of all FUN. I have two cats who are spoiled, and have experience with elderly furbbabies, and medication management. I have been caring for friends and family's furbabies for 15+ years (paid).

“This was Jacques' and Mingus' first kitty-sit with Dave... and he was great. My elderly cat Jacques in particular needed a lot of careful attention for feeding, medication, and TLC and I felt very at ease while away having him in Dave's hands. Dave is a great communicator and his messages and photos really helped me calm down about leaving my babies in a new sitter's hands.”


About: I have 5 years of experience, trustworthy, lots of fun, most importantly safe. Definitely will love your fur babies like my own 2 ! ♥️ I am currently pursuing a remote masters degree and have an office job only on Fridays, so other then that I am always home and available for your fur needs My home is pet proofed, I have a park right next to me, no kids/babies.

I have a fenced-in yard and I can also keep them in a room I have available for this purpose. The puppy will be very comfortable.
“Luisanna was amazing with Lola and I would recommend her to anyone. We took our Lola girl on vacation with us to New York but she could not do some of the activities… Luisanna was available at short notice with quick and easy drops off/ pick ups. She was very responsive when I texted her and communicated with us during the day on how Lola was doing. Her communication is amazing, along with her sweet relaxed energy Lola warmed right up to her ! She truly took care of my baby as her own and it was easy to tell when I brought Lola the following day, Lola ran right to her. It was so reassuring to know my dog was happy, safe and well cared for. Her location is very convenient for any New York or New Jersey plans as she is right over the bridge. She was truly a life saver and I am so greatful I found her. Anytime I visit NY I will be contacting her as I’m sure Lola would love to see her !”

I couldn’t be happier with the care they provided and would absolutely book with them again. Highly, highly recommend.”

“Tracy is a fantastic sitter and we couldn’t be happier that we’ve found her. She is so welcoming, kind, caring and informative and you can tell she loves spending time with dogs. Tracy and Nookie invited our dog Sandy into their home and they had a great time together, Sandy came home shattered which was just what we were after. Tracy provides updates and regular communication and we can’t wait for Sandy to stay with her again as we know she is well looked after and loved, which is a massive relief. We highly recommend Tracy to take care of your dog as she knows exactly what they need.”

“Emoni has a very sweet and caring energy. We have big dogs and she took care of them well. I dropped them off early morning because of work and she was accommodating. She sent me updates:pics throughout the day, something that puts my anxiety at ease when you leave your dog with someone. She took them on multiple walks throughout the day. She communicates very well and responded to my texts throughout the day. She has a daughter who loved the dogs.

I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection so they feel secure and stress-free while in my care.
“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 💛”

“Nathan is a great walker. Since the meet and greet, Phoebe(my dog) and him got along together very well. Nathan was very understanding of phoebe being scared of the city noises during her walks and he even helped taking her out the building which we appreciate very much. He communicates very well, follows instructions to the dot and is very playfull with phoebe. If I didn’t have a permanent walker, I would’ve totally kept him. I recommend Nathan 💯”

“Such a delight to work with. She’s an effective and quick communicator. Super accommodating to your needs and needs of your pet. Alicia was flexible and made both of our schedules work. My dog, Fiona, took a liking to her immediately. Fiona could sense that Alicia is a good person and someone she can trust. Alicia was gentle with Fiona, so I could easily feel safe with her in Alicia’s care. I am currently injured with limited mobility, so Aleicia was also attentive to my needs and helped me out in the best way she could. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart because I have been so worried about providing Fiona with a regular walk schedule and proper exercise and she took a lot of weight off my shoulders. THANK YOU SO MUCH, Alicia!!! She went above and beyond for myself and my fur baby to provide an incredible and easy experience. She will be the only reason that I will continue to use Rover in the future.”

He has a backyard which he allows the dogs to run around in and was looking after multiple dogs, so tonka had the time of his life playing.

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!”

“Anthony was super understanding when it came to our puppy’s schedule while boarding our two pups. He provided frequent updates so that we didn’t have to worry about how he was doing. Great overall experience.”

“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 😄.”

“Ryan and Jefra took wonderful care of Pika! They were very responsive and accommodating, and they sent me regular updates and beautiful photos of my pup during the week I was away. Highly recommend!”

“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.”


“Cooper has stayed with Nicole twice so far and the second time I bought him to her house, he ran inside. She seems to be very attentive and is incredibly responsive. We’ll definitely be staying here again! Thank you for the awesome experience for my dogs first boarding.”

“Carly came recommended and she really delivered!! My pup had a great time with her, on regular walks and playing around the apartment. Carly kept regular communication and constant photos so I was never worried for a moment!”

“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!”

“Binta is an all-star and a consummate professional! My dog loved her right away. Binta made sure my dog stayed on a comforting routine, gave her lots of attention, made sure she got a lot of outdoor time and exercise, etc. Binta’s updates were extremely detailed and featured lots of cute pictures. Her place is cozy, clean, and organized, making it an ideal home away from home for your furry loved one. We will definitely call on Binta again the next time we travel.”

“Eleanor was great!! We booked last minute with her after our dog had a surgery and couldn’t be around other dogs. She was super loving, went on tons of walks with him, and even cooked chicken and rice for him! He seemed very happy and settled in when we picked him up. She was also communicative throughout the stay. We will book with her again!”

“Glad to have found Yinuo here. She was flexible and great to book. Provided updates and pictures/videos of Lulu during her stay. She really enjoyed staying at her place.”


“My first impression of Vivian and her husband was very positive and their hospitality even more so. I highly recommend Vivian to board/pet sit your precious best friends. She is very attentive and texted me everyday about my cat and sent me photos of her.”
