I came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything about the quality of care they provided.

“We are so lucky to have found Kate! With my shy, senior cats, she was patient, attentive, and warm. And very communicative - tons of photos and updates - while I was away on a work trip; helped put me at ease knowing they were being cared for and she was paying attention to all the little details that matter so much in a senior cat home. We hope Kate will continue to visit with us!”
“Charlie was very doting when he checked in on my cat on the days I was out of town. He was very caring towards her and he sent very thorough photos and messages every day. I look forward to rebooking him again!”
“Adeline took amazing care of my babies! Sent pics everyday and gave me so much peace of mind when I was out of town. Would definitely trust her with my angels anytime. Thank you so much!”
“Amanda has proven herself a godsend. I am a flight attendant and on occasion will get stuck away from home unexpectedly. Amanda steps in for my cats and saves the day. I appreciate her so much and highly recommend her for your kitties needs.”
“My 15 year old diabetic cat recently entered DKA and underwent very intense and very costly treatment that required serious recovery and supervision. I took off a few weeks of work but due to the added costs I needed to return back to work in order to continue caring for her and treatments. I was of course naturally worried leaving her after having survived such a serious illness and Katie stepped in a really helped put all that anxiety and worry at ease for me. I truly feel like she made all my worries go away upon returning to works All her visits were well documented (she sent me lots of pictures and videos of play time sessions, medicines given, the food and water put out, and she always stayed for longer than booked for and I never came home to a mess. It was evident to me that she was treating my babies like they were her own. From phone calls to texts to in App updates Katie is truly a delight to work with and I can’t recommend her services enough to anyone looking for their pets to receive the same level of love and care that mine got from Katie. I work long hours in film and my old lady will need continued care so definitely plan to keep booking her as much as possible. For those who view their pets as children; Katie’s the one for you.”
About: I’m love cats! I would have one, but there are allergies in the household- but I’ll still care for yours. When I visit my cousins, one of their cats likes to sleep on my lap :)
“Sara was so sweet with my cat Bowie. This was our first time using Rover and Sara really made us feel comfortable and safe. She was punctual, professional and pleasant. Thank you, Sara.”

“Jenna was the best!! Super respectful and understanding towards my anxiety ridden kitty who is super scared of strangers ! Updated with photos which was helpful for me being away!! Would easily rebook with her any day!!”
“Eleni was WONDERFUL with my 2 cats!!! I will definitely be hiring her again!!! Mochi has diabetes and requires an insulin injection every 12 hours in addition to another medication twice a week and Eleni was happy to learn and able to give Mochi his meds which can be a bit daunting and sometimes difficult depending on his mood. but Eleni was attentive and really took the time to learn and care for him properly! my other cat Kumo is a scaredy baby and rarely shows his face around people but Eleni was patient and really put effort into getting him comfortable with her. Eleni updated me with great details about how they’re doing and food. the weather was changing every day from being very cold and then very hot and Eleni proactively adjusted the thermostat accordingly when needed! she would turn on cat TV every couple days AND put treats in their treat games daily so they would stay occupied during the day. Mochi had an accident and Eleni didn't hesitate to clean it up and take out the trash. she really took care of everything!”
“Zoe was amazing! She is the first sitter we had that Masha did not hide from. That, in itself, is amazing. Masha looked very well cared for. I will always look for Zoe to watch my baby on future trips.”
“Giang was amazing with my boy!! She gave thorough cards and I really appreciated the detail and photos, so cute to see him playing around :) My cat has some medical concerns and takes a couple medications, and I was able to relax knowing he took them and what his litter box usage was like. Our meet and greet was great as well and I felt very comfortable leaving Indy in her care. Thank you to Giang and I would recommend her in a heartbeat!”

“Francesca was such an amazing sitter for Mateo!! Mateo and Alvin got along super well, and as a Rover sitter myself, I absolutely loved all the pics and videos Francesca sent of them. She was super patient and helpful, and I will definitely book with her again!!”
“Ashley, thank you so much for being so amazing. This was a last minute booking and she responded right away! Thank you for being so attentive with our fur baby and understanding our situation! We appreciate you and will definitely keep booking with you for any future needs 💕.”
“Kenneth is great! Very attentive to the needs of my dog and is very good with her! I love that she will get the socialization she needs when I’m away. Will definitely rebook!”
“Roki had a great time with Antonio! I was traveling and Roki was staying with my friend - and it’s amazing that I could find a great care in a new neighborhood on a short notice.”
“Paul was great- we have a deaf dog who’s scared of people and our dog had a great time and I got cute photos! Also i really appreciated Paul being flexible with pickup - I was running a bit late!”
“Serdar was so great with my little one! Comforted her during a thunderstorm and sent lots of pictures and updates. I could tell she really liked him. Highly recommend!”
“Alexandra is truly such a wonderful sitter! My dog pulls me down the street when I drop her off for daycare because she is so excited to see Alexandra. Alexandra is very responsive throughout the day and will send updates, so I can rest assured that my dog is in great hands. I highly recommend!”
“Keri was the best!! I had two late nights in a row and she was always so patient and accommodating for me and ensured Mateo was taken care of. He had a blast at daycare and will definitely be returning!!”
“Deja is great at integrating multiple animals together and servicing the unique needs of each pet. Deja had multiple dogs when mine stayed with her and her system was clean, intentional, and attentive to all.”
“Sara accepted our last minute request to take care of our doggo Frankie. She has been the kindest and cared for our pup as if he’a her own :) She also has two pups at home so Frankie felt more confident being around his kind ahha. I would recommend her to everyone: responsive, reliable, caring— full package! Thank you Sara!”
“It was our first time leaving our 7 month puppy with a sitter, and so we had a lot of questions and Dayana was super patient throughout - including accommodating multiple reschedules (sorry). We received regular updates and pictures of our little guy while he was with Dayana, including pics of him hanging out & playing with a very serene bigger dog (which was great). He did not seem overly stressed or agitated when I brought him back home (as in, he acted like he typically does when we break his routine, nothing more) and went straight to sleep at bedtime (he usually takes about 20 minutes to settle), meaning his stay with Dayana must have been mentally / physically stimulating. Altogether a great experience for us first timers. Thanks for everything Dayana & we’ll see you again soon!”
“My Georgia loved Ai so much that when she dropped her off at the end of the day, Georgia tried to walk away with her! Ai sent us pictures and videos throughout the day to let us know how Georgia was doing, and gave her lots of outdoor time in the sun. When Georgia came home she was happy and tuckered out (in a good way!)”
“What a lovely person - I’d give her 100 stars if that were an option. To explain, I had to go into my office LAST minute and at 1230 am it was my first time using this app and I posted requests for someone to basically dog sit for the same day- she was immediately responsive even though it was a last minute request. I saw she had already gotten consistent great reviews and I was worried to leave my 7 week old shih tsu (like a baby) with anyone ) -Jameeka she handles all dog ages - she was responsive, kept me updated throughout the day. I even got stuck in traffic on the way for pick up and was late she was fine. The top 3 reasons I give Jameeka 5 stars is because 1) she is the opposite of stressful and worked with my unique needs, 2) she has great communication skills snd 3) it is clear she is an expert - my puppy was returned perfectly she gave me some updates and my puppy was happy and fell right asleep because Jameeka ensured my puppy got play time and exercise time - thank you !”
“Freedom was super easy to communicate with, and she provided great updates throughout the day on how our Gus was doing. I emphatically recommend her services to anyone who wants peace of mind in their dog sitter!”
“Hillary is AMAZING! My puppy goes to doggy daycare once a week. She feeds, plays and goes on walks with Nymeria. My puppy leaves very happy and tired. Hillary makes sure to send videos & pictures with updates. I can tell she is taken care of and loved. Thank you!”

About: My name is Luna I’m going into my final year of art school. I’m fairly active and I enjoy going on hikes, walks and travel. Growing my house was never without pets; cats, dogs, guinea pigs, birds, you name it! I inherited my love for animals from my mother, but after moving to NY found a pet shaped hole in my heart. Since I cannot care for a pet by myself at the moment, I began pet sitting/ walking friends and neighbors pet. I found so much fulfillment in pet sitting and now with ample free time, want to expand my practice. I am excited for the opportunity to meet your furry friends! Currently I do not have a full time job, so I have plenty of free time to care, and host ! I enjoy morning walks and would be happy to have company for them! I live in an apartment with 3 other dog lovers, only a few minutes away from a park with designated dog area. There are no other pets and the home is comfortable and secure for hosting.
“Regina is so sweet, she really gives both my animals the attention they deserve! She's very consistent and trustworthy, can't say enough good things about her.”
“Cailey was very thorough with her notes and photos which is very comforting to me as the dog owner. She seems to be very gentle and understanding with my pup who can be hesitant and a little nervous. I would recommend Cailey and will book again!”
“After we moved and needed a walker in our new neighborhood, Cassidy stepped without skipping a beat, to provide the care and attention our pups love from her. Both were really happy to see her and showed this with lots of excitement and tail wagging. Thanks again Cassidy!”
About: Hi! I’m Holly and I’ve loved and cared for animals of all kinds (chickens, dogs, reptiles, birds, kitties, and fish) my entire life. I have hands-on experience raising puppies and providing care for senior animals with changing needs. As a teacher, I love spending my free time and summers with animals, making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, or a chill hangout, I'll take care of them like I would my own pets. I’m currently on summer vacation from teaching, so I have ample free time to spend caring for your animals! Available Monday through Friday throughout the work day. I follow all details of care instructions and make sure your animal feels safe, comfortable, and has plenty of love and attention. On walks, I use secure leashes, pay close attention to our surroundings, and make sure your pup gets the exercise they need. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll respect your space, stick to their routine, and send updates with photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
“adeline was incredible! she responded with such short notice and really helped me out when i needed it. she was attentive, communicative, and patient. i absolutely recommend her and felt so at ease knowing she was taking care of my lola!!”
“Keis took wonderful care of my dog while I was away. She was reliable, kind, and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind. My dog was happy and well cared for when I returned. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker or pet sitter!”
“Pluto and myself had a great experience with Magdalena. She picked up my pup and took him for a walk with her dog Frankie. I was a bit anxious as Pluto is sometimes afraid of dogs larger than him but Frankie is such a lovely pup — they got along very well. I also saw them running around and playing in Magdalena’s backyard when I picked up Pluto. Overall — great experience and will be using Magdalena’s services in the future.”
About: Hey there! I’m Izzy, a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for dogs of all sizes. I’ve been around them since I was a kid, and most recently I had one of my own: a 75 pound labradoodle named Winston, who might just be the sweetest goofball, currently he lives with my parents so he is not in my household. I’ve been walking dogs and caring for them for about half a year, this is outside of my personal experience of taking care of them my whole life, my friends also trust me with their pups as I’m their go to for looking out for them :) When I’m not out walking pups, I work as a photographer and creative in the music world, doing everything from album covers to campaign shoots. On weekends, you’ll usually find me running with friends, bouldering, or just enjoying some good company. My schedule being freelance and flexible allows me to provide dog walking, sitting or boarding since I’m home every day and can be around taking care of pets. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐾 I’m a freelancer! My schedule is flexible and I am home everyday! Making sure I’m able to provide and pay attention to your pup when they need it :) I’m available 7 days a week from 7am until 10pm. I always prioritize a calm, safe, and loving environment, whether at my home or the pet’s home. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and routines, whether that means quiet companionship, playful walks, or structured feeding and potty breaks. Cleanliness, comfort, and consistency are top priorities for me. With experience walking and caring for all kinds of dogs, I know how to build trust quickly and make pets feel secure while you’re away.
About: Several years ago, when a friend was going through a rough time in her life, I housed and took care of her dog for half a year, and that's when I realized I could do this! Since then, I've regularly taken care of other friends' pets on and off, and I would love to do the same for your pet too! This is my full-time job, which means you and your fur baby will get my full-time attention! Except for Thursdays which I reserve for community volunteer work, my schedule is very flexible, and I will do my best to accommodate you and your pet's needs. I live in a 1-bedroom apartment with no roommates! I also have 2 AC units to keep the space nice and cool during the hot summer months. Every few months, I also house my friend's pet, an American Eskimo dog who is very friendly and absolutely loves meeting other dogs! I live near several dog parks that are within 15 minutes' walk, so your fur babies will always have a chance to meet new friends and neighbors. I love taking care of dogs, whether at my home or at yours!
“I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention my dog Sage receives from Asher! He comes three times a week, always on time, and is so reliable. It’s clear that he truly cares about Sage’s well-being, paying close attention to her needs, whether it’s her energy level or favorite spots for a walk. I love seeing the adorable selfies they take together—Sage is always so happy and clearly enjoying her time out. Asher is not just responsible and professional, but also super sweet and kind. I feel so lucky to have found someone who genuinely connects with my dog and treats her like family. Highly recommend!”
“Devora was super communicative, and was very patient with Cheeto (who can be a bit suspicious of new people in his space!). I got regular updates during the walk and felt at ease knowing she was looking after my lil guy. Will definitely be booking w Devora again!”
“Jules watched my dog Uma for 2 weeks while I was away, walking her 2x a day without a hiccup. I really appreciate the photos and videos!! Excellent dog walker, trustworthy, and all-around awesome person :)”

“Stella is amazing!! This was the first time we were leaving Norman for longer than a weekend so we were a bit nervous knowing he’s a high energy dog. Stella kept us updated every day with a mini recap of videos and pictures. She made sure he got enough exercise and play time throughout the day as well as stimulation. We were so appreciative of her helpful tips and thoughtfulness throughout his stay including giving him enrichment toys, lots of outside time, and maintaining some training habits. Her dog Koukla is also incredible and Norman had the best time playing with her (although I’m sure she is excited for some quiet time back). We couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
“Our pup Dove LOVES Xiao and literally jumped for joy when Xiao came to pick her up. After Xiao dropped her off, Dove was so sad and whined at the door waiting for Xiao to come back – we've never seen anything like it. Clearly Xiao and her boyfriend love and understand Dove like she's their own. We feel so lucky to have found them!”

“Cassi and Adam took the best care of my Cheche! They sent a billion pictures and updates, which is preferred for a helicopter mom like me who worries about being away from her girl. I never had any doubt she was happy and in good hands. I will 100% be booking with them again!”
“I wish I could triple the star rating !!!! Dana is absolutely amazing... I'm a first time dog owner. Dunkin is 9 months and still used the wee wee pads. Not only did she train him she provided her expertise on the matter. She scheduled a routine for him and provided the details so I could follow up. She kept contact the entire time I was gone. She sent photos took him for walks 4 times a day and even took him to the doggy park. She provided links so I could purchase a crate and also looked up doggy parks in the area.. She was warm and caring and really took care of my baby I can't thank her enough!! I plan on going to P.R. In July and I'm already requesting dates. She is affordable, dependable, organized, clean, and friendly. She truly cares for animals as if they were her own. In addition she paid attention to his eating habits and made adjustments to accommodate him I have to stop here because I will just keep going .. !!! I found a sitter for life !! ”
About: I really think I have quite a bit of experience with pets. As I was growing up, I had several at the same time and I took care of them all at once and with a lot of love. I had a rabbit, two cats, and a dog. I'm currently available every day, and regarding the schedule, I think we can discuss that between ourselves and decide. I would love to work for you, and I'm eager to meet your lovely pet. I live in a decent apartment, not too big but cozy, and my biggest advantage is that I live across from a park and close to a pet shop.
“Erica was amazing with my girl Sweet Potato! She was super responsive when I needed a sitter in a pinch, and was communicative throughout her week-long boarding, putting me at ease throughout. I will definitely request Erica to take great care of my kid in the future.”
