“I wish I could gate keep Jacqueline and her family but I just can’t! I loved this experience. Above and beyond my expectations! My puppy dog had the best time at their home they kept me up to date with pictures and videos! They let my girl feel right at home with them and I can’t appreciate them more. I will most definitely contact Jacqueline and her family back again on my next trip!!!”
“This was the first time I was apart from my dog for more than two days and the first day that I left the dog with a non relative. It was great to have someone as responsive and responsible as Vincent taking care of my dog. It is clear that Vincent loves dogs and does a great job taking care of them. When I picked my dog up it was clear he had a good week, was healthy, well fed and very happy.”
“My furbaby was comfortable with Keirstin. He spent a day with her before his 3 nights of boarding. He was quite excited to see her again to start his boarding for which I was pleased to see. While we were away, Keirstin sent us photos and updates and she was very responsive when I asked questions about his settling in her home. Thank you Keirstin.”
“Nervana is very kind and caring. She took great care of Bella, giving her medication each day Her whole family made Bella's stay a very happy experience.”
“Jose was excellent and really helped watch my dog for me during my travels. Great communication and even sent pics to update me. Thanks so much for taking care of my fur baby!”
“Tanacka was a pleasure to have her to take care of my dog, she is very sweet and kind, she kept me updated all the time with photos and pictures, he was treated as part of the family very kindly and with compassion I would definitely recommend her to any one looking for a kind and caring sitter for their pets”
“Caroline was a gem! She was very accommodating of the last minute request and the way she wanted to do a short meet and greet prior to my dog’s stay, it felt very genuine of her to ensure her dogs and my dog had a good introduction. I was nervous about leaving my dog Berkeley for a week, but Caroline and her family really loved on Berkeley like their own and I really loved that she sent frequent photos, videos, and updates about how Berkeley was doing.”
“Shelly-Ann and Tyresse were amazing sitters for Gemini! They took such great care of him, and I felt completely comfortable and safe knowing he was with them. Shelly-Ann was very reliable and always sent me updates, which I really appreciated. She was also super accommodating when I wasn’t feeling well after my trip and needed Gemini to stay an extra day. I could tell Gemini felt really comfortable and at home with them. Even when it was time to leave, he was still looking for Shelly-Ann and seemed like he wanted to go back to her house! That definitely told me he enjoyed his stay. Overall, I had a great experience and would absolutely book with Shelly-Ann and Tyresse again. They took amazing care of Gemini, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I highly recommend them!”
“Stacia is truly always so patient & kind w/my fur baby & w/all, that I do not hesitate to board my Leah w/her anytime I need a home away from home. Stacia is also very communicative which is very helpful. Thank you Stacia!”
“I’ve booked with Naomi many, many times now. She’s wonderful and Kubo loves to go back. She takes care of him and loves him like he’s her own. Not to mention that Naomi is so kind and sweet herself. She updates me about how Kubo is doing each time I book with her and always welcomes him back with open arms, even if I request a last-minute booking. Definitely book with her. She’s the best. :-)”
“Maisha was EXCELLENT! This was the first time I ever left my dog with someone and she made me feel SO much at ease. She’s so professional and sweet. Maisha is a natural with your fur babies. If you need a dog sitter she is your person. I am already booking her again to stay with my fue baby for my next vacation. Maisha is the best! -Cheryl”
“A+ Kind, attentive, communicative, flexible. The photo of our dog Charlie sprawled out in front of the fireplace within an hour of us dropping him off says it all. He feels safe, secure, relaxed, and loved. Tynesha has become Charlie’s resort vacation destination anytime we go away.”
“Vernisha, did an excellent job from the beginning of our communication until the moment we picked him up. She kept us informed throughout our getaway and sent photos and videos, including updates from the park when she took our dog for a walk. We really loved the way she cared for him and kept us updated on his well-being. We highly recommend her!”
“Bonnie and her wonderful family took great care of our Leo while we were on vacation. They followed his usual routine to ensure he was comfortable in a new setting. It took Leo a few days to adjust but after that he was his usual playful and relaxed self with them. Bonnie also provided timely updates and pictures of Leo so we had no worries while we were away. We would happily have them take care of Leo again!”
“We are so grateful for Ekaterina and family's loving care of our senior dog Gil this summer! I didn't know how he was going to manage so many weeks away from home, but Ekaterina is exceptionally reassuring and capable. She handled his medications and temperament with true care and skill. We feel very lucky to have found her. Thank you again!”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Jennifer. She was in constant contact with me and I knew what my baby was up to all the time! She has two of the cutest kids who loved constant playtime so my puppy came home super happy. He didn’t even want to come home when I picked him up and seemed annoyed he was back. lol!! Thank you, Jennifer! I am definitely re-booking!!”
“Alison was THE BEST with our dog Graham. This was our first time leaving him in someone else’s care and I’m glad Alison was the one to care for him. Frequent updates throughout the stay via texts and pictures, responded promptly to messages and very professional! Graham really enjoyed his stay and I would definitely book with Alison again🤗”

“We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. From the first meeting, the meet and greet to when we returned home, Tia was right on point. She followed instructions precisely. Our cat Coco gravitated towards her right away. I was shocked. Coco looked relaxed and well looked after which was of a relief because this was our first time away from her. The photo updates brought smiles and peace of mind. We enjoyed our trip without worrying. Tia is highly recommended! Peace”
“Alison was punctual & caring throughout her shifts. She sent photos of my kitties eating & being petted. Alison, did really well with scooping the liter box as well. I can see myself hiring Alison again!”
About: I’ve grown up with cats since I was little, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I absolutely love cats and genuinely enjoy their unique personalities, whether they’re playful, cuddly, independent, or a little shy. My family and friends regularly trust me to care for their cats when they’re out of town or need an extra hand. I treat every cat I care for like my own and want to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while their humans are away!
“Ms Krista was very professional and kind. During the time she had my keys to my house she was 1000% professional. Taking photos and videos of her visit and updateing every single morning with no problem not one. She was genuine and I truely appreciate her kindness and honesty. She is a perfect candidate for future pet sittings or anything. I recommend her strongly.”
“Jenna is awesome! You can tell that she's a cat person because my cat usually doesn't warm up to people quickly but every time I get a picture she's petting or playing with him also she sends me multiple pictures everyday she visits. If you have a cat and you want to feel at ease while you're away, this is the one you want!”
“Alexis is wonderful! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter! She put our family at ease when she met us and our two cats before our vacation. She listened and followed through on all their needs while we were away posting great photos and Rover notes after each visit. She is truly caring and made sure the cats had playtime and their medication. We will definitely be contacting her again for future trips!”
About: I have taken care of my neighborhood dogs for the past few years. I have also been setting up occurring dog play dates around my neighborhood and dog walks. I am currently working remotely and am pretty flexible when it comes to walking dogs or stopping by for a drop-in visit. I am available Mondays to Thursdays and occasionally over the weekends as well. I regularly walk my dog Bandi; and create a safe and inclusive community by setting up dog play dates with the dogs in my neighborhood.
About: I have three cats of my own and love taking care of them. I also feed stray cats in my neighborhood and make sure they have a clean and comfortable place to use the bathroom. My cats have three litter boxes that I scoop three times a day to keep them clean and fresh. I’m very dedicated to making sure every cat I care for is happy, comfortable, and well taken care of.
“Lin was amazing with Simba and Sydney! She took such great care of them, played with them, and treated them like her own. She even brought over a can of wet food for them to try, which was so thoughtful. I really appreciated all the updates and the love she gave them. She also brought a letter from her cat, Wednesday, and my cats loved it! I came home to two very happy cats. Thank you so much, Lin! I’ll definitely book with you again.”
“Tee is amazing! Always on time and on top of everything. Great communication… Keeps me informed throughout the visit. Thumbs up all around, would highly recommend!”
“Jacqueline was amazing! She watched our cat for a few days. Sent updates, didn’t rush her visits and provided great updates. I would highly recommend her.”
“Noelle was the best with our cat!!! She was communicative, professional, and so genuinely kind! I absolutely plan to reach out again next time we go out of town!!! 😻”
“Kayla was wonderful! She was very attentive, communicated clearly throughout, and truly went above and beyond. I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in such great hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“I’m truly grateful for the care Neve provided. We have two cats one is very old. Neve went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. A complete professional who displayed tremendous compassion to our cats. I can’t thank her enough.”
“We truly hit the pet-sitter jackpot. I hesitate to leave this review for fear that Tammy will become so beloved across Rover she will no longer have time for us! From the moment we met Tammy, it was clear our cats were possibly in better hands than our own (honestly, they seemed a little disappointed when we came back). Updates were consistent, thoughtful, and often included photos that looked like they belonged in a pet lifestyle magazine—somehow capturing both chaos and cuteness in equal measure. Our home was cared for, our girls were happy, and we’re fairly certain they learned better manners while we were gone which raises some questions about our own management style. What really stood out was the genuine care and attention—this wasn’t just “checking in,” it was full-on VIP treatment. Visits weren’t rushed, playtime wasn’t optional, and every detail was handled like it mattered (because it does). If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and clearly loved by animals, stop looking—you’ve found them. Just be warned: your pets may start expecting this level of service from you afterward. I still haven't mastered Tammy's double-Churu-dispensing skills, and the judgment from our girls is palpable.”

I have supported puppies at least 4 months old, blind, deaf, and senior dogs. CATS: I’ve taken care of cats at the hospital, and as a Walden Humane Society Volunteer! Love all cats, but I can only stay at the home if they are hypoallergenic :o at the moment i generally have open availability. i offer dog walks, drop-in, and staying in the pet’s home to offer care! feel free to contact me if you have further questions :) I’m not able to bring pets to my residence, I love to spend time with dogs through use of toys or companionship, walks, talking to them, petting, being by their side, or inviting them to sit with me!
About: I've been caring for pets professionally for over 10 years. I'm not just a caregiver; I'm a devoted pet parent myself. My own fur babies are like my children, and I treat every pet I care for with the same love, attention, and respect. I work full time but with a very flexible schedule. I work from home & occasionally go into the city. I’m comfortable with all age groups Whether it's daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping your pet company while you're away, I bring patience, experience, and genuine affection to every visit.

About: Hello fellow animal lovers. I am a Veterinary Technician with over 20 years of experience for caring for hundreds of dogs, cats, birds and any kind of animal you can think of. My husband Andres is also a vet tech with over 15 years of experience and he helps me take care of any of the pets I watch. I used to mainly watch dogs in my home but since Covid we had a baby and she is allergic to dogs so I can't board in my home anymore which makes me very sad. Hopefully my daughter will grow out of her allergies eventually because we really do miss having dogs in our home and she loves dogs too. So now I can only do drop in visits at your home for any type of pet. I am currently not working and am a stay at home Mom but my daughter is in school now so I can do drop ins during school hours and then after my husband comes home from work in the evenings. We currently have 2 senior cats at home and I have had many of my own cats that I have loved and taken care of over the years. I have taken care of hundreds of cats as a Veterinary Technician over the years in all stages of life and many types of illnesses and diseases. I have worked with all types and many different breeds of cats as well. I have experience with cats with all different types of personalities and behavioral issues and try to take my time with any of them that are fearful and try to gain their trust and show them that I just want to show them love like you do. I was trained to practice fear free medicine as a vet tech. I have dedicated my life to caring for and helping all animals and I have loved every second of it. I have experience with every age, breed, species and medical problem. I have years of experience of caring for any illness, physical and behavioral problems and administering any medications or medical treatments necessary. I have had many dogs, cats and other small creatures of my own that i have loved and cared for over the years as well. I have a car and can travel to any part of Staten Island. Nothing makes me happier than spending time and playing with as many little fur babies as i can. You can set your mind at ease knowing that experienced, caring veterinary technicians are caring for your precious baby while you are away.

“Robert is a great dog sitter and man. He cares very much for the well-being of the animals he watches, honors all request, and goes above and beyond. Whole heartedly trust him and recommend him to anyone needing a dog sitter”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dogs, Coco and Teddy, received! From the very beginning, Shannon was reliable, kind, and very attentive. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Coco and Teddy absolutely loved her, and it was clear they were well cared for and happy. We highly recommend Shannon to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter! 🐾”

“Our dog Wally had a great time with Malak! Malak was very thoughtful and easy to communicate with. We’ll definitely reach out again if we need daycare for Wally.”
“Sharon was so great with our golden doodle! She took amazing photos of him (he never poses for us! 😂), and he has been worn out since we got him home! She was wonderful with communication and made us feel good about leaving our baby with her. We will be booking with her again! Thank you, Sharon!”
“Jasmin was exceptional with my Puppy Galaxy. She kept me up to date throughout the day and made sure they got lots of activity throughout day. She gave me a lot of advice as a new dog dad and helped teach me how to cut my dog’s nails without agitating him or causing him to run. 10/10 would book again”
“Chunwei provided the best sitting experience I’ve had so far. She always checks in and updated me throughout all of her stay. She took the time to walk with my puppy Freya and give her the exercise that she needed, she kept up with my feeding schedule and notified me if Freya’s eating habits had changed due to her teething. Overall I couldn’t ask for anything more from a sitter she was amazing!”
“I am very happy I found Jose. He took my babies in at the last minute and was great at keeping in contact with me and sending pics and videos. If I ever travel back here with my pups again he will be my go to.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our dog!! Very welcoming, caring, and understanding; my dog is very happy and had a great time during the day. Excellent communication throughout the day and the updates of ace were so cute! 10/10 would definitely contact again to take care of my fur baby in the future🩷”
“Jo was fantastic. She's friendly and warmhearted. She played with my cavapoo and took him out. He's generally an anxious dog, but he felt safe enough to nap in her house. She noticed the little things and gave me updates during his stay. I will definitely come back for her care, and I look forward to a long term relationship with her.”

About: I am a teacher so I have the summer to spend with my wife, son and dog in our spacious backyard (for Staten Island). Our 2 year old and our Labradoodle love running around in our yard and chasing eachother. When we aren't traveling we like to enjoy the sun on our deck and would love to host your pup for the day if you need. If your dog needs more than just a yard and playtime we can go for walks as needed. We try to take our dog with us wherever we go but recently we have found that it is convenient to have somewhere to have our dog spend the day if we are at a family event and we want to help others in a similar sitaution. Have an event on Staten Island but don't want to board your dog? Drop them off at our house for the day so you can enjoy your event without having to worry about your pup.

“I reached out to Alison when I was sick and unable to walk my dog, Ace, and she responded right away. She was kind, friendly, and very reliable throughout the booking. Ace absolutely loved her—every time he came back from a walk, he didn't even want to come back inside! It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog walker. 🐾💕”

“Sharon is great with Waffles! She gives him a lot of attention and he seems very happy when she takes him out. She is always quick to respond to my messages and she sends lots of photos and videos during her visits with him.”
About: I was 13 when I got my first Pomeranian puppy. Having a Pomeranian helped teach me patience, calming down an anxious puppy, and understanding boundaries. I also have experience with more hyper breeds such as border collies. When I was 17 my brother bought home a border collie and I helped raise him a lot. I also had many lizards and hamsters. I love bonding with different animals and getting to know their unique personalities. Currently working part time. So I have plenty of time to myself. I am looking for something that makes me feel more connected with myself so I am giving rover a try :) I care for my pets by simply being gentle and trying to understand them. For example- my dog hates the broom when I am sweeping. Instead of yelling at her I put down the broom, picked her up and told her it’s okay. I set her down on my bed, gave her a biscuit, and picked up the broom. As I did this I spoke in a soft voice and told her she’s being good and that it’s okay.

“This was the first time I was apart from my dog for more than two days and the first day that I left the dog with a non relative. It was great to have someone as responsive and responsible as Vincent taking care of my dog. It is clear that Vincent loves dogs and does a great job taking care of them. When I picked my dog up it was clear he had a good week, was healthy, well fed and very happy.”

We feel very lucky to have found her. Thank you again!”

I’d absolutely book with Brianna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to watch their pet.”

My dog needed frequent walks, which Robert made sure she received. I really appreciated how reliable he was. Most importantly, he was very kind and gentle with my dog!”
“We are so grateful to have found these sitters, especially last minute when our pup wasn’t feeling well. This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous. Lucas and Katherine couldn’t have been kinder or more attentive. They were amazing with giving her medicine, checked in daily with updates on how she was eating, and taking the medicine and always sent the sweetest pictures. They even went out of their way to make sure she ate by picking up yogurt, which she loved! Our dog looked right at home and so happy the whole time, which gave us such peace of mind. Truly wonderful sitters who went above and beyond…highly recommend!”
