“Joanna did an excellent job taking care of my dog, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter. She was very communicative throughout the entire process, always keeping me updated and making me feel comfortable while I was away. Her availability and flexibility were also greatly appreciated and made scheduling very easy. On top of that, everything was kept clean and organized, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about providing a safe and comfortable environment. Thank you again, Joanna, for taking such great care of my little guy!”
“I am very happy with the treatment my dog got. She gave him a lot of love and many photos were sent to me. She texted me often to give me update. Lucky seemed happy.”
“Lisa took such amazing care of Ruffles while we were away for 3 weeks. She sent daily updates with photos and videos that really put our minds at ease while we were miles away. We will absolutely be using Lisa again for our future needs and highly recommend her for your fur babies!”
“Karina was amazing from beginning to end. I felt a little skeptical about leaving my fur child with anyone unfamiliar. From texts before the drop off, Karina made me feel comfortable. I received texts, pics and videos of my dog continuously throughout the day to see my dog, adjusting to a new person and environment. I could see my bully taking to Karina very easily which gave me peace of mind while away. Karina was very attentive to my fur baby and making sure that she was her priority while under her care. When I picked up my dog the first thing I asked after expressing my appreciation was, if I ever have to leave my dog with anyone again, can I look you up on Rover and she said yes! I highly recommend anyone leaving your fur child with Karina who is attentive and sensitive to your pet adjusting to new people and surroundings. Amazing pet sitter. 5 stars ⭐️”
“We had a unique situation that lead us to Eric and he was incredibly accommodating. I forgot my dog's bed and he was able to provide one. He took great care of our shepherd and sent us several photos to show us our dog was doing just fine. Eric is a super nice guy to boot! Would highly recommend!”
“They were great! Lincoln met with them a few days before the stay and was immediately comfortable. There house was very clean and the enclosed backyard was very spacious leaving a lot of room for the dogs to play and secure enough to prevent them from getting out. They sent video and pictures everyday. I would definitely leave my dog with them again in the future.”
“My pug Charlie had another wonderful time with Abbie and Peachy. Charlie feels really safe with Abbie even though she is a little anxious and Peachy is a great friend that helps Charlie to stay active and socialized especially in this cold weather. Outstanding hosts!”
“If you want your pup to feel like they're at a home away from home - book with Tina. She and her family (two young children who will entertain your dog endlessly) will provide a loving environment with lots of play and attention. I boarded my 7 year old pit mix for several days and he felt right at home immediately. Tina was great sharing photos and videos of Lincoln playing in the fenced in back and taking lots of walks (I think he thought twice about coming back home :)). So happy I found her.”
“It was such a pleasure to have Shirley watch our dog. He is a senior dog and requires additional attention. Shirley was amazing and keeping us up to date on how he was doing and he honestly was on vacation himself. He had so much fun!”
“I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the wonderful care Anna provided for Ramsey while we were away. Her daily photos and updates truly reassured us that she was happy and comfortable in your care. It was clear to see how much she enjoyed spending time with you! Your kindness and attention to detail made all the difference, and I can't thank you enough for being such a fantastic sitter. We highly recommend you to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets! Thank you once again for everything!”
“Outstanding care. My 2 dogs were loved and spoiled from the moment I dropped them off to the time I picked them up. They enjoyed 6 days of playing and cuddling. Michelle sent daily updates and pictures. My dogs were safe and cared for. I would recommend her 100%. Thank you!”
“This is the second time we used Michael to watch our fur baby. He is the best! He always nsends us updates and pics. We will be using him as our designated sitter . Thank you again Michael:)”
“Pamela is amazing. She took such good care of Quinn I didn’t worry a second about how he was doing. She sent us so many pictures and videos of him having so much fun. She definitely treats every dog she cares for like her own.”
“Like most people, I was very nervous about leaving my dogs with someone while I was away. However, from the moment I met Alissa I knew my two babies would be okay. She spent a lot of time with us during our initial meet and greet. She answered all our questions and allowed our dogs to hang out in her backyard and just really reassured us that she will love them the same way we do. She communicated regularly while we were gone and sent pictures and videos. What I also appreciated is that she is flexible with drop off and pick up times. So instead of our dogs staying another night, we were able to pick them up on our way home from our trip. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family.”
“I am absolutely so grateful to Vanessa and her family for taking such good care of Prince. They are wonderful. I was a bit nervous because it was going to be my first time leaving Prince overnight with other dogs. I didn’t know what to expect. But they were so reassuring and very clearly so good with all types of dogs. Prince is 1.25 years old and they gave me good insight and advice about his behavior. Very communicative through the whole week. And Prince did so well with the company and had a great time!! He was surrounded by love, cuddles, and attention. Will absolutely work Vanessa and family again if they are free the next time I’m going out of town!”
“Vanessa was great with Domino! He was comfortable the moment we got there for our meet and greet. She has two dogs of her own and watched a couple others during his stay, which he thoroughly enjoyed. She definitely spoiled him too. I'm surprised he even came home. Vanessa was also very good at sending pictures and videos. I would definitely use her again for future needs.”
“Tanu is so wonderful. She took excellent care of Clover and he didn’t want to leave her until she walked him to the car to say goodbye. Thank you for spoiling my baby!”
“Yogeeta was great and very attentive when prior to my booking. It was last minute and she answered any questions i had an even set up a last minute meet and greet which was great. My puppy spend alittle more than week with her and she kept me updated with photos and videos the entire time. I am definitely planning to book her again.”

“Elizabeth took such great care of Bunny (my cat) and my rabbits Poppy and Dobby! 🐱🐰🐰 She followed all my instructions perfectly and kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos, which made me feel so at ease. ❤️🥰🥹 Would definitely recommend her and will happily use her services again! 😊”
“Anna was a huge help! She was able to accommodate a last minute drop in visit request after another sitter had to unexpectedly drop out. She was very responsive to communications and was great with sending daily updates! I felt at ease with knowing Tini was in good hands. Would highly recommend!”
About: I looked at cats like I looked at the cool kids at school; I desperately wanted the approval but I didn't want them to know that. How could such aloof creatures be so cool?! Someone at work brought in kittens from a litter nearby, and I instantly bonded with the tiny one that crawled into my lap named Bear. Suddenly I loved all cats, and have had the pleasure to share my time on Earth with 3 amazing little spirits. My calm demeanor seems to help me be recognized as "cat trustworthy" as a friend once pointed out. I think sometimes that - and a love of all animals - is all you need.
About: Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and genuinely cared for—even when you’re away. That’s exactly the kind of care I provide. As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets are family. I share my home with my sweet 6-year-old Cavapoo and my gentle 10-year-old Scottish Fold cat, so I know firsthand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Before joining Rover, I worked at Dogtopia, where I cared for groups of up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to understand different personalities, recognize body language, manage dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and ensure every pup feels safe, comfortable, and happy. When I was younger, I babysat and walked dogs for relatives and neighbors. I also know that leaving your pet can be stressful for you, too. That’s why I make communication a priority. You’ll receive regular photo updates, videos, and text messages so you can see your pet enjoying their day and have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands. When I care for your pet, my goal is simple: I want them to feel as comfortable, happy, and loved as they do when they’re with you. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member and become someone you can count on whenever you need an extra helping hand. I am currently on summer break from college. From September 2026, I will be available to work at any time on Monday, Wednesday, Friday afternoon/evenings and Saturday and Sunday. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply quiet companionship, I’ll tailor every visit to their unique personality and routine. I believe every pet deserves individual attention, patience, and lots of affection. That is how I am with my dog Flash and my beautiful cat, Princess Leia. Honestly, no request is too much, my dog and cat both are very particular in their ways.
“Lisa is wonderful! She went above and beyond in taking care of my 3 quirky cats. She won all of them over and played with each of them. I highly recommend Lisa!!!”
About: I am a animal lover who has cared for many different animals over my lifetime. From a young age I have owned dogs, cats, birds, and many more! I enjoy being around animals and have taken care of pets both in home and while owners are away! I am a happy soul and would love to meet and care for your pet! I work full time in NYC in and can do walks in the afternoon lunch hour most weekdays. Weekends are always free for more walk and play time. Willing to adjust and accommodate with your schedule! Always willing to do the best care for your pet. If it’s walks outside, playtime inside and everything else, it would be a thrill for me to meet and care for your pet.
“Samantha and Jerry were fantastic. Zara, our cat, was happy and well cared for when we came home. We got great pictures of her being brushed, eating, and drinking throughout their visits. Would 100% recommend.”
About: Animals have always been part of my daily life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve looked after pets of all kinds and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, understood, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality so they feel supported and cared for while you’re away. I work part-time and I attend college at Adelphi University. I am free most days, not as much on weekends, however I can make adjustments depending on the date and time. I provide patient, attentive care and treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in any environment.
“Nasimul and Dominique are great with my cats! They send lots of pics and I can tell that the cats are excited when they visit. Highly recommend.”
About: I have always been an animal lover my whole life and treat my dogs as my own children! I have over 13 years of experience with puppies, adult, and senior dogs, as well as with dogs with special needs such as allergies or anxiety. I have trained my own dog as a service dog, leveraging positive reinforcement techniques and a deep understanding on dog behaviors. Friends and family know they can always rely on me to walk, bathe, feed and love their pets like my own! You’ll have peace of mind knowing that I truly care about their well-being and make sure they are taken care of in the best way possible for them and you. I have an open schedule since I work from home and can be available all day for frequent walks and feeding! I also am happily able to provide overnight stays at your home and customize care from crate sleeping to letting them sleep in bed with me. I have my own vehicle in case of emergencies, and also love to take pets on fun adventures in nature if that is something that they love. I have a friendly labradoodle puppy who is happy to play with your dogs, but I can also provide solo walks/play if that is preferred. For overnight stays I will follow your routines and if your pet is a clinger, I will be by their side 24/7! I am well versed in doggy body language, so you can trust that I’ll keep up whatever makes them happy and can also recognize if they need space or aren’t feeling so well. Communication is key, so you’ll be provided with frequent photos and videos of your pet family members enjoying their lives to the fullest!
“Ozzy was an amazing sitter for my four cats! My girlfriend and I felt at ease while away visiting family knowing that he was checking in on our cats, and even giving my diabetic cat his meds. All the cats loved Ozzy and I would highly recommend booking with him!”
About: Hi! I’ve had cats most of my life and there is nothing sweeter than coming home to a purring kitty at your feet! I’ve had very affectionate cats and some more independent, but I’m the end, all want love! One of my most sweetest fur babies was my cat, Shadow Madeline. She was a beautiful black princess, with white on her paws and on her belly. She had a great personality and was so regal! I adored her!
About: Hi, I’m Julia! I’m a young professional with a love for all animals. I’ve owned a range of pets myself from lizards and gerbils to rabbits since a very young age and dogs for the last 15+ years. I’m happy to walk, feed, play, and hang with your furry friend, either on a schedule or as needed. Good exercise, food, and companionship is my goal! If any other services are required, or you have a special request, feel free to message me to discuss - I’m here to help! I am trustworthy and responsible, committed to providing you with full peace of mind so you can rest easy your pet will be in good hands, whether you leave them for an hour, a day, a week, or longer.
About: Hi, I’m Bri. I’m 27 years old and a registered nurse (for humans). Growing up, I’ve always been around my family’s cats. I recently adopted my own cat almost 2 years ago, and she has taught me so much. Cats are often misunderstood. They are so full of love and deserve to be cared for patiently!
About: I’m comfortable caring for cats with a range of personalities, from social and affectionate to more independent or reserved. I understand that cats thrive on routine and a sense of control, so I prioritize respecting their space, reading their body language, and letting them set the pace of interaction. I provide reliable daily care including feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and companionship tailored to each cat’s comfort level. I’m attentive to subtle behavioral cues, which helps me understand whether a cat needs engagement, space, or a calm presence nearby. For shy or anxious cats, I focus on creating a quiet, stable environment and building trust gradually without pressure. My goal is always to help them feel safe, secure, and comfortable while their owners are away.

“Trying to find a great babysitter has been one of the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do especially since I own a large breed puppy! Those feelings changed after I met Vanessa and her family.

When I picked him up, he was happy and relaxed, which means everything to me as a dog mom. It was clear he was in good hands the entire time.

About: For quite a few years I’ve taken care of dogs for family members, families all over Long Island and never disappointed! I’ve loved dogs all my life and still do. They’re honestly like family to me and I always treat my family with care, respect and love which is what a dog needs. I also have 2 dogs of my own and they is just the best thing that happened to me honestly and that’s why I’m working for this company because I’ve found something that I could work for and love doing what I do at the same time.

Other than that I am very free for now! In my home I have a huge clean yard that runs through the back, side and front it is fenced so the dogs could run freely around for some daily exercise. I also have two dogs of my own that’ll definitely keep your lovely dog(s) company. They are very playful and welcoming, one is 4 years old and the other one is 3 years old, with all their shots and up to date with all doctor appointments. This is a smoke free house also.

“Anna did a great job walking our dog while we were away on vacation. Despite the snow and freezing temperatures, she walked her for the full 30 minutes twice a day every day. She was very flexible when I asked her to pick the dog up at a different location and communicated a bunch of times to update me on how things were going. I highly recommend using Anna.”
“Gabrielle is a fantastic dog walker. When my pup doesn’t want to take a long walk Gabrielle makes sure to do scent work and she does training sessions. So far they’ve learned down and to shake with either paw. Thanks for taking such good care of my dog.”

“Grace was so patient with my little old man. She gave me updates and sent pics during the walk. Have already arranged another walk with her, and am so thankful to have someone that I trust with my pup.”
“Lisa was great! She was very focused on learning every detail she could about Malcolm ahead of the walk, and even came to meet us before we confirmed. It was a nasty, cold rainy day and Lisa showed up on time, with a smile and ready to roll! We will definitely be seeing her again!”

About: Hi, I'm Bri! I am 27 years old and a registered nurse (for humans). I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’m considering a career in animal care too! I adopted my first dog and rabbit when I was 9. Then, about 10 years ago, I fostered 2 dogs from a shelter and wound up adopting one of them. I have taken a lot of my neighbours and friends dogs on walks to the park and around the neighbourhood. I have a lot of experience with feeding, playing, cleaning, and walking dogs. Since I’m a nurse, I’m open to medical accommodations as well! Overall, any furbaby deserves eternal love! I'm up for discussion about availability and hours. Please feel free to ask me any questions about references or my services! I’m currently unemployed so my availability is very flexible. Since I have 2 pets of my own, an example of my usual pet routine consists of morning breakfast, walking the dog 3 times a day, playing with my cat throughout the day, and dinner. First things first, safety! I will always assess the well being of your fur baby. I am receptive to body language and when an animal may be feeling uncomfortable. Everyone, including our fur babies, deserves to have their own boundaries respected. This will ensure we are both having a great time (:
“I highly recommend Diane. She incredibly reliable and always arrives on time for every walk. She also keeps me updated with pictures and notes, which gives me great peace of mind when I'm not home. Ginger loves her. Diane is gentle, patient, and clearly knows how to handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My dog Ginger is skittish and takes and while to warm up to ppl but Diane knew how to work with her. I'm so grateful to have found Diane!”
About: I have three dogs of my own, so caring for animals is a consistent and structured part of my daily routine. I prioritize long, intentional walks, enrichment, and balanced play to support both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats, and comfortable with a wide range of sizes, breeds, and temperaments. With dogs, I’m familiar with everything from small companion breeds to larger, more energetic dogs. With cats, I understand the importance of respecting their space, routines, and comfort levels. In both cases, I pay close attention to body language and behavioral cues so I can adapt my care to each pet’s individual needs. I also have experience supporting animals with separation anxiety by providing a calm presence, consistency, and reassurance so they feel secure while their owners are away. I focus on creating a stable, predictable environment that helps reduce stress and build trust. Reliability, patience, and consistency are central to my care. I take time to understand each pet’s routine and reinforce positive behaviors during walks and visits, always aiming to maintain the structure and comfort they are used to at home. I’ve been around animals my entire life and bring both intuition and responsibility to every booking. My goal is simple: to provide safe, attentive, and genuinely caring support so your pets feel comfortable, understood, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I already care for my own dogs every day. I’m used to structuring my schedule around consistent walks, feeding, playtime, and general care, so it’s already built into how I plan my days. I have full-day availability and a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of needs throughout the week, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I’m able to adjust my day based on each pet’s routine so they receive consistent, reliable care at the times they’re used to. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight house sitting, I prioritize being present, dependable, and attentive. My goal is to maintain each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible while providing calm, consistent care throughout the day or stay. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, respect, and maintaining a calm, familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, and any specific instructions provided, to ensure consistency and comfort. I am very attentive to each pet’s behavior and body language, which helps me respond appropriately to their needs and ensure they feel safe and understood. For pets that may experience anxiety, I focus on providing a steady, reassuring presence and minimizing disruption to their normal routine. I also provide updates as needed so owners feel informed and at ease throughout my care. I treat every home with care and responsibility, making sure to keep the space clean, secure, and exactly as I found it, while being mindful of safety at all times, including doors, leashes, and any specific household guidelines. My goal is to create a stable, trustworthy environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for, and owners feel confident that both their home and their pet are in reliable hands.
“Alexis was amazing with our new puppy who is still learning how to walk, not jump, etc. She was always patient and willing to be flexible if our pup wouldn’t walk, playing with him in the yard instead. She is reliable and on time. We highly recommend Alexis!”

“We had a unique situation that lead us to Eric and he was incredibly accommodating. I forgot my dog's bed and he was able to provide one. He took great care of our shepherd and sent us several photos to show us our dog was doing just fine. Eric is a super nice guy to boot! Would highly recommend!”
“If you want your pup to feel like they're at a home away from home - book with Tina. She and her family (two young children who will entertain your dog endlessly) will provide a loving environment with lots of play and attention. I boarded my 7 year old pit mix for several days and he felt right at home immediately. Tina was great sharing photos and videos of Lincoln playing in the fenced in back and taking lots of walks (I think he thought twice about coming back home :)). So happy I found her.”
“It was such a pleasure to have Shirley watch our dog. He is a senior dog and requires additional attention. Shirley was amazing and keeping us up to date on how he was doing and he honestly was on vacation himself. He had so much fun!”
“Outstanding care. My 2 dogs were loved and spoiled from the moment I dropped them off to the time I picked them up. They enjoyed 6 days of playing and cuddling. Michelle sent daily updates and pictures. My dogs were safe and cared for. I would recommend her 100%. Thank you!”
“This is the second time we used Michael to watch our fur baby. He is the best! He always nsends us updates and pics. We will be using him as our designated sitter . Thank you again Michael:)”
“I am absolutely so grateful to Vanessa and her family for taking such good care of Prince. They are wonderful. I was a bit nervous because it was going to be my first time leaving Prince overnight with other dogs. I didn’t know what to expect. But they were so reassuring and very clearly so good with all types of dogs. Prince is 1.25 years old and they gave me good insight and advice about his behavior. Very communicative through the whole week. And Prince did so well with the company and had a great time!! He was surrounded by love, cuddles, and attention. Will absolutely work Vanessa and family again if they are free the next time I’m going out of town!”
“Vanessa was great with Domino! He was comfortable the moment we got there for our meet and greet. She has two dogs of her own and watched a couple others during his stay, which he thoroughly enjoyed. She definitely spoiled him too. I'm surprised he even came home. Vanessa was also very good at sending pictures and videos. I would definitely use her again for future needs.”
“Tanu is so wonderful. She took excellent care of Clover and he didn’t want to leave her until she walked him to the car to say goodbye. Thank you for spoiling my baby!”
“This was Miles’ first stay with Britany. From the time he was dropped off, I felt very comfortable. Britany was warm and inviting. She sent updates throughout the visit, which was very reassuring. Miles adjusted well and was his usual playful self. Thanks, Britany! Highly recommend!”
“Wendy, I cannot thank you enough for the loving care you have extended to our boy, Jack. I really appreciated the multiple pictures, videos and updates especially since we were out of the country. It was so clear that Jack was well taken care of and happy. I have no hesitation for Jack to stay in the future. 10 stars!”
“My dog literally came back home so tired from having fun. He received excellent treatment he had another dog to play with (which was great to wear him out) I was sent multiple pics throughout the day letting me know that Ac was in excellent care. I will use them again and again 🙏🏽”
“Judy was awesome with our puppy. I think Harper misses her already even though we just picked her up today (12/7)!! I would highly recommend Judy and we will definitely use her again. Judy is a real dog lover and treats your dog like it's hers. She has a nice yard which is great for play time, especially for a puppy. Great experience for us as this was the first time we left our puppy for a week.”
“Janine was great! She made Rory feel comfortable and took good care of her for a week while we were away. I got daily updates and would definitely have Rory stay with Janine again, which I know Rory would love.”
“Von (Vee) took excellent care of our dog Kona while we went on vacation for a week, we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the start, she was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly cared deeply about creating a comfortable, loving environment. Throughout the stay, she sent detailed updates along with tons of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious our dog was happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention and affection. You can tell she treats the dogs she watches like her own. We’re so grateful for the level of care she provided and would absolutely book with her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
“Jana is awesome! She is responsive and kept us updated with pictures. We felt comfortable leaving Nori in her care and Nori really seemed to enjoy her stay there as well. We think she was sad to leave lol. Luckily, we already booked again with Jana for another upcoming trip!”
“I’m so lucky to have found Ruth-Ann and Brandon. I had to take a last minute trip and was worried about finding suitable accommodations for Bleu. These two were amazing and accommodating. I got lots of pics and videos Bleu during my time away. She looked happy and comfortable and that’s all I could’ve hoped for.”
“Dilania is absolutely wonderful! She took care of our dog as if he were her own. Our pup was instantly comfortable and at home with her and she took excellent care of him. I highly recommended her!”
“Julia was terrific! She and Bailey hit it off right away. Got a bunch of pics with Bailey out for a walk, playing with toys and a restful night sleep. Will use Julia again!”
