He provided regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our puppy came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that Ayush genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and treated our puppy like part of the family. We especially appreciated our puppy having new friends to play with (Ayush’s dogs). We would absolutely book with Ayush again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy person to board with.”

She also was flexible with timing of drop offs and pick ups which was much appreciated!! Thank you so much! (:”
“Sashina was a life saver for me! When my Rover reservation canceled 2 days prior to my leaving on a 9 day vacation, I was stuck looking for a last minute replacement and Sashina came through for me! She was quick to respond and was very accommodating. We texted prior to meeting and I was very confident my expectations would be met. She did a great job! She provided me with daily updates and pictures. I felt like she treated my dog as a member of her family. I would use her again and highly recommend her!”

“Could not have asked for a better sitting experience for our 8 year old Tina! Kecia was kind, communicative, and clearly cares about all the animals she watches. We met up a few days ahead so our dogs could meet and everything was totally seamless - we felt completely confident and comfortable out of town knowing Tina was with Kecia. Will absolutely rebook and recommend to others!”

“Serena was amazing! My dog has never calmly gone to a Rover before and she went happily right into Serena’s arms despite never having met her. She looked so happy in all the videos she sent while I was on a trip and enjoyed playing with Serena’s two dogs. We also had a ton of travel disruptions- cancelled flight so had to leave a different day, 6+ hour delay- and Serena was supportive and helpful navigating the app and updating times. Very very grateful and hopefully we will be booking again!”
“Amazing doesn’t even begin to describe! Best communicator , so warm and friendly, and genuinely cared about Lucy’s comfort. So grateful to have found Kylie!”
“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!”
“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.”

About: ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. My first dog — Lucy, a Border Collie I had when I was 11 back in Shanghai, China — was my best friend for 16 years. Alongside her, I cared for a rescued stray cat "Noji" and an adopted poodle "Bebe" when I was 13, which taught me patience, responsibility, policing different pets, and how to understand different pet personalities. After moving to the U.S. for school, I brought home my baby Corgi "Brioche" in 2020. She’s now a 5-year-old certified service dog who’s friendly, well-trained, and walked three times a day for at least 30 minutes each time. I also helped train and kept a baby Devon Rex cat for my family in 2025. What sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience with pets of different breeds, ages, and temperaments — from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I love fur babies more than anything and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I will be working part time starting summer 2026 in NYC, so my schedule is flexible, I'm available for daily walks, boarding both weekdays and weekends. I live in a 2 bedroom in FiDi close to battery park city. There are no crates and my corgi was never crate-trained. I don't have indoor pet potty so I almost only take my dog out for potty unless the weather is crazy. I have plenty of dog beds and toys.
“Linyan was an excellent communicator and took extra special care of my little one. I could tell right away that she really cares about dogs by the way she attentively listened to everything I shared at drop-off. My sensitive dog picked it up too and didn’t even cry when I left her. I will absolutely be rebooking!”
About: We’ve both grown up with pets in the family, and once we moved to the city, we both started pet sitting and walking for our neighbors. We have experience with senior pets, administering medication, and special need pets. Your baby is safe with us! We both work hybrid in the city, making it easy for us to adjust our schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Whether it’s both of us or just one, we can assure you your baby will be accompanied at all times! Whatever you need from us for your pets, you got it! If you need us to crate your dog, leave and pick up keys with a doorman, turn heaters on/off, etc. for your fur baby, nothing is too big of an ask. We’ll always share lots of pics too for you to feel comfortable!
“Needed someone last minute and Vera came in clutch! She made sure he was super comfortable at her home & sent me lots of updates! Will definitely book again!”
“We had an amazing experience with Shishi and her family. They took care of our two toy poodles like they were their own. They sent us picture updates throughout our dogs stay and gave them approved treats. We will definitely reach out to them again if we are back in town! Highly recommend!”
“Chloe was great with my pup - it was a last minute booking for the weekend. Chloe kept me posted throughout the day with updates, pictures and videos. You could tell my pup had a great time - she was passed out the rest of the evening when she came home! Lol”
“We had a great experience with Bethany! She was very responsible, responsive, and flexible throughout the process. We did a meet-and-greet beforehand, which made us feel very comfortable. During daycare, she kept us updated with messages, photos, and videos, and always responded very quickly. She was also accommodating when we needed to adjust the original timing. She clearly cares about the dogs she watches, and we would definitely book with her again!”
“Alejandra was great with Dexter! He came home so happy and well-socialized. I loved getting photo updates throughout the day, and I’m glad he had a doggy friend to play with—highly recommend!”
“Amanda is amazing with my Coco. I trust her fully with my baby and my Coco loves being with her . She gets super excited when she sees Amanda and that makes me feel good about having Amanda watch my precious fur baby . Amanda is attentive to all of Coco’s needs and keeps me updated . 5-Stars is not enough. 10 stars for Amanda !”
“Svetlana was lovely — super communicative & kind. I could tell my shy pup felt very comfortable with her. Would happily leave her with Svetlana again!”

“Sophia was amazing with Loxi while I was away. She would come greet her every night and play with her as she got her ready for her walk. My doggie who is normally pretty sad when I am away was playful and happy the whole time in large part due to Sophia!!! :) From the meet and greet to the end of my vacation, Sophia put in so much care, attention and love into caring for my doggy I cannot express how much I appreciate it and and so grateful so her to have been cared for so well while I was away. I would definitely have Sophia walk my doggy again anytime!!”
“She was a fantastic dog walker for my Kano. Very reliable, responsive, and consistently kept me updated on all of his walks, which I truly appreciated. I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, caring, and dependable person to walk their dog.”
About: When asked about my dream job, I always say dog walker. I love dogs, and I love walking. I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, growing up with a German Shepherd and a Miniature Schnauzer, whom I lovingly cared for until he was 16. While I’m looking forward to having a dog of my own one day, for now all my love and passion for dogs go straight to your furry baby. 🐾 For me, caring for dogs is more than just watching them. I tailor my care to each dog’s personality, routine, and stage of life so they feel safe, stimulated, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I'm home based and dog care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I limit the number of pets I care for at one time to fully present, consistent, and dependable. I want your pet to get my full attention and you get peace of mind knowing they’re well and cared for. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or in yours, I follow your instructions closely and maintain a calm, secure, and loving environment. Clear communication is part of my approach: I keep you updated with messages and photos, I offer GPS tracking if you'd like that. There is no extra charge for holiday, weekend, late night, or morning walks

“Rosanna takes such great care of my pup! She is detailed and leaves great notes! She was able to accommodate my last minute evening request during travel delays.”

“Vanessa is very communicative and always on time & responsive. She’s been a star working with our very skittish and nervous bernese and has successfully made friends with our dog - which is hard to do. We are very happy to have found her!”
About: I had 3 dogs during my childhood and of course I want another one. Meanwhile I take care of my friend’s dogs when they are traveling or just busy I am currently having a break from work, so I have a flexible schedule. However, even when I am considering going back to school I want to allocate time for pets (which is like a weekend, vacations or relaxation time for me) The goal is to bring that company and care to the pets when their owners are on their daily responsibilities. I want to make them feel safe, happy, relax or energetic.
“Maria goes above and beyond in taking care of Fergie! Making sure she has water before leaving to cleaning up any messes, it’s greatly appreciated. Always responds to any extra asks from me as well, with no complaints. Thanks again!”
“Todd walked my large pile of energy regularly for months and Winston loved him! He was super communicative and flexible, which was very appreciated for my ever-changing work schedule.”
About: As a caretaker who leads with patience and intention, I’m here to care for your pets exactly how you would. I want your pet to feel as comfortable as they would with you there. I have cared for dogs and cats my whole life - understanding the temperament and needs of every creature. Experienced with all cats and dogs (birds too, but that’s probably for another app.) I currently work part-time, so my schedule is extremely open for work! I also love to housesit, especially because it helps me know a pet better. Available weekdays most times, and weekend mornings. I currently have no pets in my apartment space. However, I am more focused on caring for pets at clients’ homes. I’m extremely respectful of spaces and you can trust me with your abode.
“Minako was super responsive when communicating and took a lot of care when walking my dog, along with a good description and photos. Would definitely book with her again. Thank you Minako!”

Pooja went out of her way to learn everything she could about Annabel so she could ensure Annabel would be comfortable and even came to meet us beforehand. She is affectionate and so considerate toward Annabel, asking me good questions while I was away to ensure her health and comfort. She let Annabel sleep with her and moved her set up around so that Annabel, who has arthritis, wouldn’t have to jump up and down. I was super pleased with her photos checkins and updates. We both adore Pooja and will 💯 be booking her again. Thank you, Pooja! ❤️ 🐾”

About: I’ve used Rover for years and loved it for my pup! I’m looking to take up PT walking in the neighborhood and would love to get some time with your little angels ❤️ I work remotely in the neighborhood so can be very flexible with times of walks and drop ins no problem for your pets, just let me know! I’ve grown up with animals my entire life and recently had to say goodbye to my angel lab of 12 years who lost his battle to cancer. I am very familiar with the needs of animals and truly love them so much. Totally understand they miss their humans when not home, so will be sure to give them extra love!

She made my vacation so enjoyable knowing my girlie was in the BEST hands! I would recommend Diana to anyone who wants their dog to be well taken care of and loved. Thank you Diana for loving my Loretta and treating her the way we do.”
