“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.”
“Jacqueline and her family are incredibly welcoming and attentive. They love our furry family member as if he were their own. She gives frequent updates. We were so grateful to have our buddy stay with Jacqueline!”
“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! Would definitely recommend as a sitter!”

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.”

“Another excellent stay with Maisha. Bentley always has a great experience and enjoys playing and making new friends. She provides excellent care and keeps me consistently updated with photos, which I truly appreciate. I also value the way she treats Bentley with the same care and attention as her own. Thank you again!”
“Stacia is a very kind & very professional dog boarder. She also has a very pleasant personality. I received daily pics and videos of my 2 dogs while I was on vacation for 5 days. Stacia kept me inform with how the dogs were doing day to day, their eating habits how healthy their stool was and how comfortable they were just being at her location. I really appreciated how clean/manicured and dog friendly her backyard yard was for the dogs to run & play. I would absolutely use her services again & recommend her to a friend or family member that needs boarding. 10/10”
“Taina took such great care of my little one and kept me informed throughout the day on how she was doing. I’m glad my little one enjoyed herself. Will be booking again for future services 😊”

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.
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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 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. I understand how important it is to feel your pet is in good hands--and that's exactly what I strive to provide.
“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!”
“Tara is by far the best pet sitter ever. She responds, ensures your nerves are calm and EVEN GOES OUT OF HER WAY FOR A CRAZY TURTLE!! she is now my regular rover and will be using her for my future field cycles . Everyone , HIRE TARA!!!”
“Oleg was amazing! I have a very difficult cat, and he was very patient and calm with her. He is communicative and sends updates daily along with photos. I felt secure being away from home knowing he was taking care of my fur baby. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Third time booking Neve. I had three great summer vacations thanks to her. Completely reliable and a true professional I am grateful to have lucked out and booked her. You should too.”
“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.”
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!
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.
“Jacqueline watched our cat Nugget (drop-in visits) while we were away recently and did an amazing job! He was well cared for according to the instructions we left. She provided detailed updates at every visit and even managed to get some pictures of him even though he is extremely shy. She is also quick to respond to messages. I highly recommend her and would use her again!”

“Absolutely amazing experience. Our puppy was so comfortable with Rob as soon as he met him. Rob is very knowledgeable and caring. He explained the whole process to us when we did meet and greet and was very informative and honest. We are very lucky to have found someone who cares as much as Rob does for our pup. Definitely booking again. Thank you Rob 😊”
“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🩷”

“Nervana was quick to respond and very accommodating. Apollo was tired when he got home (exactly what I wanted) - she took him on a nice walk! Thank you Nervana. I highly recommend her and I would absolutely drop Apollo off again”
About: Growing up with dogs, I learned early on that wagging tails and puppy cuddles are the best part of life! With years of pet care experience, I’m all about keeping dogs happy, healthy, and spoiled with love. Currently working part time and doing online schooling! I’m available Monday/Tuesday/Friday from 7am-12pm Wednesday/Friday from 7am-8pm Saturday/Sunday from 8am-8pm Let me know what time works best for you :) I have two dogs in my home and keeping them happy and healthy is a main priority. Waking up to make sure they get their walks in because we all need our steps!! And then walking them at the end of the day so they are sleepy at nighttime :) They are basically my children.
“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”
About: I have cared for and have had pets in my household since I was 5 years old. From cats and dogs, to turtles and fish. And a few reptiles in between! I am a retired career woman who happens to absolutely love animals. I have an abundant amount of time to care for your loved one. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for your pet to have fun. I have pretty basic furnishings in my home. No potential dangers
About: Hi! I have loved dogs my entire life and grew up around them. For the past three years, I have been raising my own dog and have gained valuable experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I am home for most of the day, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention. All pet care, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, and monitoring, is personally handled by me. I have experience caring for puppies and understand that every dog is unique. Some dogs may be energetic, shy, anxious, or still learning good habits. I am patient and willing to work with each dog’s individual personality and routine. I currently have a friendly and playful Shiba Inu puppy who enjoys meeting other dogs. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your dog feels at home while you’re away. Please let me know about your dog’s routines, preferences, medical needs, or anything that helps them feel comfortable. I will do my best to make their stay enjoyable and stress-free. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m home for most of the day, so I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention and supervision. I have a fenced backyard and a playful shiba inu to keep your fur baby company. Because I already care for my own dog, feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping a clean environment are all built into my schedule.
About: As a lifelong pet owner, I see and treat all pets as family members! 🐾💞 I will treat your animals with the love, care and respect they deserve. Currently, I am a proud mom of a chatty black cat named Binx 🐈⬛ and a very funny (and very opinionated) 2 year old husky named Aries who loves to sing 📣🐺 Both are very social, friendly, kind and well behaved. Both get along with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Both are fixed, vaccinated and healthy. I have walk several dogs in my old building complex - most are friends with my dog who is a very happy husky mix. I am the friend / neighbor everyone calls when they need help with their pets! I’m trained in walking dogs on standard leashes, slip leads, harnesses, choke collar (although, not personally preferred), retractable leashes, “no pull” harnesses, muzzles, etc. Previously, I volunteered at an animal shelter for years where I was properly trained on walking different degrees of behaviorally ranked dogs. Each level requires a 10 hour orientation so as to make sure both the dog and I were safe. I still apply many of those useful techniques today. I’ve owned, worked with and volunteered with dog breeds of all sizes and all kinds of personalities for many years and across NYC. I also adore cats, fish and reptiles as well. 🐠🐢🦎 I can help with walking, feeding / administering medication or vitamins, socialization, basic training (leash training, off-leash training, crate training, positive reinforcement, sit, stay, down, paw (and “other paw”), behavioral fixes like pulling on leash, etc), daycare for short or longer stays, drop-ins and whatever else you need! We can also work out trips to the dog park, groomer, vet, etc. Importantly, I am looking into becoming a certified dog trainer in the coming year 🐕🦺 My own dog gets 4-5 walks a day with a substantial exercise session as one of them! Clients have the opportunity to set their own schedules with me. I am available early, late, weekends and holidays! Working with animals is my full time occupation at the moment. However, when I am working in my other profession (legal & tech), I work solely from home. So, I am always local. I live in an apartment in a very secure, dog-friendly building with a fenced yard outside. These are cameras everywhere. If I am boarding a dog, no matter the duration, I will make myself available to FaceTime at any time so that parents are reassured and at ease. I am within minutes of an animal hospital should anything arise. I have all the supplies needed to host and house a dog or a cat including, but not limited to: • Crates, if needed or preferred • Leashes and collars • Beds • Food in surplus • Feeding bowls • Toys • Interactive toys & games • Treats • Calming music • Rental Insurance
“Another happy stay at Ka's! Lots of puppies to play with, several of them being regulars. It's better than going to the dog park sometimes (minus the free running).”

About: Growing up, I have always looked after dogs of close friends and family, and have studied nutrition and health, which led me to work at a pet hotel for about a year with almost every dog breed. My responsibilities included prepping food, cleaning, 1 on 1 play, and group play. I have been in charge of up to 20 dogs at 1 time. I also co-own a dog named Luna. The other owner and I had Luna since she was a puppy and she is now 5 years old. I teach obedience/behavior training to many dogs and I develop trust with dogs that is unique to my experience with various breeds. It takes patience and consistency to be a great leader for dogs and I wear my heart on my sleeve for every dog I'm caring for; communication with your dog is key. I currently work with dogs full time and make Dog care apart of my every day routine, if I'm not with my dog I'm working with other dogs. I have a good size open backyard and toys depending on the play style of your dog; crate training is much appreciated if they are familiar. Walks are frequent, especially for high energy dogs
About: Dog hair is my daily uniform, but experience is my strength. From playful pups to seniors and special needs companions, I provide compassionate, reliable care tailored to every dog. I work from home Monday through Friday, so your pup will get lots of attention and care. I’m available most weekends and will never be out of the house longer than it takes to run some brief errands. I have a fenced yard and provide full supervision. Dogs can be separated or crated if requested, ensuring a safe, calm environment tailored to each dog’s needs.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs since I was 10, I’m raised puppies by bottle feeding them since birth and cared for older dogs as well. I currently have plenty of free time so doing something I love as a job would be no issue, as long as the clients are satisfied and the fur babies are safe that’s all that matters. I have a backyard we can also go for walks , if needed I already have a crate that I can cozy up for the fur babies comfort. I also stick to instructions that the owner has left for me.
“I couldn't be happier with the care received for our sweet pup! Ziming was kind, attentive, and clearly very experienced. She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Buddy came home happy, relaxed, and well taken care of. I highly recommend Ziming to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter — we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Limin was amazing with our dog Wally! She was very responsive and accommodated our schedule, and Wally seemed to have a very nice stay. We will definitely reach out to Limin again!”

She’s reliable, friendly, and truly goes the extra mile to make sure Finn is happy and well cared for. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, caring, and all-around wonderful dog walker, Noelle is the one! Highly recommend!”

About: I bring a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, along with the patience and compassion I've developed helping care for my grandmother. Growing up with a dog of my own and being surrounded by dogs through family and friends has taught me that every pet has a unique personality and deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. Helping care for my grandmother has strengthened my sense of responsibility, attentiveness, and empathy. I've learned the importance of noticing the little things, maintaining routines, and providing comfort and companionship. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, an energetic adult, or a senior who needs extra patience and gentle care, I'll treat them with the same kindness and attention I would give my own family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays, and after 1 PM on Saturdays. While I work in a pediatrics office on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, I am able to check on pets before work, during my break, and again after work to ensure they receive consistent care, companionship, exercise, and attention throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's routine and will do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I take the time to learn each pet's needs, including feeding schedules, exercise preferences, medications, and any special instructions. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and potty breaks while ensuring they feel secure and loved. In a client's home, I respect their space and work to keep their pet's routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress. In my home, pets are welcomed into a clean, safe, and caring environment where they receive supervision, companionship, and plenty of love. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make their time away from their family as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.
About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I lived on my aunts farm in the summers growing up. I have two loving and playful pups who are like my children! I care for each animal as if they were mine. I’m a teacher and have the summer off— so I have full availability! I’m up at all hours of the day/night because I have a 9 month old as well ;) I will treat your home and your babies as if they are my own! I have had bad experiences with pet sitters and I know how heartbreaking that can be, so I always give 110%

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.”
“Becky and family were such great pet sitters! They sent so many photos of my dog and I can tell from the photos that Juniper was in good hands. Excellent communicators. I would recommend them to anyone that wants their dog to feel comfortable while you are away.”
“Chunwei took very good care of Papaya. She and her family treated her like their own family, and Papaya also had good time with their dog. I appreciate the care and love, and we can feel relieved when we’re on vacation.”

“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🤗”

“Ziming is a really pleasant and caring person and genuinely loves dogs. She literally pampered our dog Willow and her own two dogs Panta and Oak make a great company. She happily accommodated all our travel schedules. I think our dog has found a home away from home.”
