“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.”

“Jane was so lovely and her dog Fancy is so cute! Our puppers needed a one night boarding while we were at a wedding. Jane took great care of him and sent so many photos, videos, and updates throughout the night and the next morning. She asked great questions if she was unsure of things. I loved the communication and flexibility Jane provided. Our dog was so happy when we came back to pick him up which let us know he had a great time at Jane’s!

Roxy can't wait to come back and stay :) So happy I tried Rover rather than boarding her.”

About: I’ve been taking care of cats for years, my own and previous experience at the vet. I know how to trim their nails and deep clean litter boxes. What triggers them, what makes them happy. I love cats so much!
“Jenna did a great job taking care of my two cats and home while I was away! She especially navigated well my one cat who doesn’t take too kindly to strangers in his house.”
About: Animals are truly my whole world, and I have been surrounded by cats since I was 3 years old. I started helping care for pets when I was around 10, which taught me how to understand different personalities, behaviors, and care needs. Over the years, I have learned that every pet is unique and deserves individualized attention and care. I am patient, gentle, and attentive, especially with pets who may be shy, anxious, elderly, or require extra support. Building trust with animals is something I take pride in, and I always work at their pace to help them feel comfortable and safe. I am comfortable administering oral medications and using inhalers when needed while keeping the pet as calm and stress-free as possible. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions to ensure consistent care. Whether your pet needs playtime, exercise, medication, companionship, or simply extra love and attention, I will care for them as if they were my own.
“Noelle was fantastic, thank you again for taking care of my kitties while I was away! I can relax when I go away with someone checking in on them , and that is so valuable to me. I'll be rebooking with Noelle in the future! Thank you again!”

“Excellent experience with Lin. She went above and beyond to make sure our cats had everything they needed. Communicating with every visit with pictures and details, letting us know the exact situation, was very helpful to keep us reassured everything was fine.”
About: I’ve cared for cats of all kinds for many years, including anxious, playful, kitten and senior cats. I understand how important routine and a calm environment are for them, and I always take the time to build trust at their pace.

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.
“Once again, Oleg has demonstrated excellent care and skill with tiger. I came back to a happy, healthy kitty and well attended. He was super helpful very patient and I will definitely be booking with him in the future.”
“Victoria was so great with my 3 kitties! They are all a little shy and have never been left alone before so I was very worried, but Victoria was wonderful and handled the challenges of them running away and hiding. She was patient and attentive. She communicated clearly and worked with me to make sure my babies eat there food, even though we had to stray from the original plan because of my shy/scared little guys. I am so grateful for her service and patience. She went above and beyond finding all there hiding spots and getting their food bowls to them. She was on time, respectful of my home, had great communication, followed directions, problem solved, and had great patience, everything you could hope for when leaving your loved ones in her care. I would definitely recommend her and will book with her again if needed. Thank you so much Victoria!”

I treat every dog like my own and I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone else is caring for your pet. That’s why I keep you updated, send pics, and make sure your pup is not only well cared for, but genuinely enjoying their time Believe your dog is in great hands. Pet care is a daily priority, including feeding, exercise, and affection, ensuring seamless integration into my routine, prioritizing furry companions' well-being, and with weekly tasks like grooming and vet visits ensuring their well-being. In my client's home, I tailor pet care to their specific needs, providing feeding, exercise, and companionship. Home care varies based on service type and client preferences.

About: I’ve raised my own dog since he was a puppy, so I know exactly what dogs need at every stage. From early morning walks to keeping them entertained and fed, it’s just part of my daily routine. I didn’t just own a dog I grew up with him. Your dog will get the same attention and care I give mine every single day. Dogs get a morning walk around 10–10:30am, then they’re free to relax in the living room or hang out in the fenced backyard. Once it cools down in the evening I take them out again around 6–7pm. During the day they have access to the backyard for potty breaks whenever they need it. Before bed there’s one last walk around 11–11:30pm so they’re settled for the night. I have a fenced backyard so dogs can roam and play safely without any worry. I own a friendly dog myself so your pup will have a buddy to hang out with. We’re in a house so there’s plenty of space to move around and get comfortable. Dogs are welcome on the furniture I want them to feel at home, not like they’re in a strange place.

When I picked my dog up it was clear he had a good week, was healthy, well fed and very happy.”
“Another doggie stay in the books! Nervana is just the best! She cares for my babies like they are her own. She is super communicative and I always felt at ease whenever we talked. I got daily photos and videos and it felt great to see my boys happy 😊”
“Our dog had a wonderful stay. You can tell Ekaterina loves animals. Our dog was comfortable with her from the moment they met. It was so comforting to know our pet was in such good hands. We got a lot of pictures and you could tell our dog was enjoying her stay with Ekaterina's family.”
“Had a 5 day vacation and couldn’t really find anybody last minute to watch my dog for me. I discovered rover and came across Jose’s profile, we connected very easy and he was able to assist watching my dog for me. Jose’s services are great he communicates very well and he kept me updated each day with photos and videos of my dog and i can tell by looking at the photos and videos my dog really enjoyed himself. he enjoyed himself so much that he seemed so sad when we were in the car pulling off from jose’s house after pickup. Jose has his own pets as well which my dog got along exceptionally well with ,if you have pets and want to work on their socializing skills i definitely recommend you guys board or let your dog spend a day with jose . I most definitely will be bringing my pup back to Jose next vacation and i recommend you guys do you as well you will not be disappointed i promise!!”
“We are very lucky that found Ziming! She’s great with dogs, Wilson loved staying at her place and made friends with Oak and Penta ! He had a lot of fun playing in the backyard and chasing for other pups. Also, was surprised that there is a room for dogs which is nice! We got pictures and videos throughout the day!”
“From the moment I reached out to Lorrie I knew she loved dogs. She was quick to get back to me and accommodating. She took great care of Roxy and spoiled her by letting her sleep on her couch and bed. I also appreciated the updated texts and pictures of Roxy she sent me. Roxy can't wait to come back and stay :) So happy I tried Rover rather than boarding her.”
“Lorraine, was absolutely incredible with penny. She suffers with extreme separation anxiety, but Lorraine and her family gave her so much loving that she relaxed! Thank you so so much!”
“Amazing experience with Mimi’s dog sitter! They were caring, reliable, and kept us updated the whole time. Mimi was happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Pamela and her lovely family were perfect hosts for our pup! He got plenty of walks and cuddles, and she sent regular updates. Chester had a great time, and didn't even realize we were gone, ha!”
“Wonderful care! Our dog felt completely at home and was in great shape after her stay with Margaret. Super responsive and helpful, will definitely board our dog with her again.”
“My 2 Cairn Terriers had a lovely stay with Stephanie, they came home tired, happy and healthy. I highly recommend Stephanie and will definitely reach out to her when we plan another trip away.”
“Starry & Gio were very easy to communicate with (very responsive) and kept me updated on everything. They are great caretakers and my dog was very happy being with them. Thank you!”
“Christine was great, she kept in touch with me and sent pictures daily. Christine is very friendly and I can definitely tell that my Alex liked her and enjoyed his stay.”
“This was my first time leaving my fur baby and it was a long one, 10 days! Deanna was awesome, and she made me and Simba feel so comfortable. She sent daily updates in photos and videos. Her and Zeus were freest hosts and I would definitely recommend her and will be using her in the future!”
“Oh my God, Patricia is absolutely amazing. This was our first time booking her and she did an excellent job at making us feel comfortable. Patricia sent tons of photos and updates throughout Kovu’s stay. We truly appreciate the time Kovu bonded with you. Thank you so much. 10/10, definitely recommend 💕.”
