“Teagan did a great job watching Niko and left my apartment immaculate. Very kind and provided regular updates for Niko which put my mind at ease and let me enjoy my trip to the fullest. Definitely found a long term dog sitter!”
“Camryn was amazing. She checked in regularly & sent photos of my 3 pups. I could tell they were having a blast with her. They are all senior gals, the oldest being 17. When I got home, they were all so happy, everything was clean (including them! Which is hard when you're battling incontinence and bladder issues). Camryn is top notch and my gals cannot wait for me to go out of town again!!!”
“Melanie did a good job with my boys (Persian cats). She sent daily updates and pictures as requested! We came home to some instant pictures that she had taken and left for us which was very sweet!”
“Hannah was wonderful! Hannah was really responsive anytime I contacted her and flexible with everything I asked or needed. She was so sweet and attentive to my little furkids and they were so well taken care of. They loved her!”
“I cannot recommend Marcella highly enough! When my original cat sitter fell through at the last minute, she stepped in without hesitation and saved the day. From start to finish, her communication was excellent - she kept me updated and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She went above and beyond by following all my specific requests, including keeping my cat's feeding bowls spotless and maintaining his litter box perfectly. But what really stood out was how genuinely she cared for my cat. It was clear she treated him with love and attention, even taking time to play with him and keep him entertained. Finding a trustworthy pet sitter who truly cares about your furry family member is rare. She exceeded all my expectations and I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. If you're looking for someone reliable, communicative, and loving with pets, look no further!”
“Kameron was awesome! My dogs immediately took to him! My aloof dog even cuddled u to him first night! 🥰 Great communication /dog pics and quick response times.”
“Orima was wonderful with our kitties! She was very attentive and spent a lot of time with them. She sent us photos everyday along with updates. I am very happy with her level of care and will definitely be reaching out to her for future opportunities. Thanks Orima!”
“Yenny stayed with my pups for 2 weeks and did a wonderful job!! She stayed in constant communication with me, was so sweet and kind to my dogs, and took care of my house as if it was her own. I would happily book with her again!”
“Alyssa did a great job watching our pups! She sent us lots of updates and pictures to put us at ease while we were away. We will definitely have her again! My very timid pup liked her immediately when meeting her.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old, whether that was my family dog or my neighbors or friends needed a walker/sitter I am in school, so I will have more than enough time to spend with your pups! I am available everyday after 4pm except thursday and saturdays which i am available after 6pm I’d love to take your pups on walks and I am able to provide medication needed, I am able to stay for extended stays if needed
“Jennifer is a true professional and pet caretaker, but someone of her caliber does not often find their way in pet care. Her talents far exceed the average pet sitter. A gem!”
“Burgess took great care of my 7 year old French bulldog while I was out of the country. This dog is like my baby and needs eyedrops, facial fold cleaning and medication and everything went well.”
“Ruben really helped me out in a pinch when my sitter cancelled last minute! He was great with Ollie and kept me updated throughout the trip. I’ll definitely be booking with him again.”
“Genellle is always so amazing with our senior dogs. Extra care, great communication. We always enjoy ourselves when we are out of town because we know they are in great hands!”
“SO many GREAT things to say about our first booking with Avery! She watched my 2 labs at my residence in an apartment complex while i was away at a family event for 2 days. Our timing didn't quite workout where we would get to meet, and yet she took the time to virtually go over instructions and a care plan. I was VERY happy that she didn't mind staying overnight, as i truly don't like leaving them alone pm-am. She took my boys on multiple walks a day, which was not a requirement but a great treat to them. She let me know how much they enjoyed cuddling, playing, and attention of their new friend. While she was aware i have a ring camera at the entrance, she still kept me updated with her coming and going to ensure i was in the know. She sent me many photos, stripped her sheets for laundry, and wrote me a kind letter upon departure. I am so thankful that i found Avery and will certainly be rebooking her!”
“The timing could not have been worse, our Wheaton Terrier, Winston fell a little sick just as we were about to go away for a few days. Fortunately for us, we found John on Rover.com a couple days before. He looked after Winston, performing all the daily routine activities, (scheduled feedings, walks twice per day, etc), as well as administering medication since Winston was feeling is best. John provided a few pictures and videos as well. John did a great job watching over Winston.”
“Desiree was great with Madison when she watched yer for the weekend. She was also very responsive to messages and sent photos of our baby. We would definitely hire Desiree again to watch Madison.”
“My parents and I have two extremely anxious rescue dogs that we needed to find a late night dog sitter for since we were attending a wedding. Finn and Kas are so gentle and calm, they made me feel at ease since I was also nervous having strangers watch them. They sent many updates, good communication, and took great care of the home. I totally trust they genuinely care for people's pets and would 1000% book again/recommend to anyone. The dogs were very happy! Thank you again ❣️”
Washington Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
We used Emily for the 2nd time. She is wonderful and we highly recommend. Was a rainy long weekend and she kept the dogs entertained and even walked them every chance they got when there was a break in the rain. Dogs were loved, lots of updates and photos and house was spotless.
Regan was so great with Griffin! He is anxious, but she was extremely patient with him, willing to meet with us before the stay to get to know him better before watching him over night. I got daily pictures and updates, and she left our apartment as clean if not cleaner than we left it. We’ll absolutely book with Regan again!
Cindy was so great with our tank! It was the first time we’ve left our puppy and we were a little nervous but Cindy was great with communicating how he was and sending us pictures and videos. It looks like our boy had a great time while we were gone and did lots of playing/cuddling. I’d recommend Cindy to anyone!
Marcella was absolutely amazing with my 13-week-old Golden Retriever. She was incredibly trustworthy, attentive, and clearly cared for him like he was her own. Her personality made the whole experience easy and stress-free, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my puppy in her care. I received updates throughout the stay and could tell he was happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Marcella to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Allie was amazing! She was very caring and attentive to my two girls. One deals with lots of anxiety when we’re gone and Allie was able to keep her comfortable with cuddles on the couch. My other is a senior who is declining everyday, Allie accommodated by the minute with great updates throughout the stay. Definitely recommend Allie for your pups!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Courtney was absolutely wonderful, and we loved working with her! Leaving our 140lb Great Dane and our sweet mixed breed pup in someone else’s care can be nerve-wracking, but we felt complete trust with Courtney from the start. She handled our very large dog with total confidence and ease, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and even took both dogs on their regular walks without hesitation. It was clear she genuinely enjoyed being around them and cared for them like her own. We are so grateful for her help and would happily use her services again in the future. Highly recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a trustworthy, capable, and caring sitter!
Jen was awesome! She made it so easy to be away from our dog knowing she was still getting lots of love! Jen sent us pictures and updates daily and we could see our pup felt so comfortable with her! She left our house in great shape and treated like her own. We would love to have Jen back taking care of our Chocho!
This was the first time my husband and I have ever used a service like Rover, and Angela did a great job making us feel confident in our decision. Our dog is 10 years old and not used to people she doesn’t know. Angela was super sweet and attentive to our girl during our trip. She sent several photos, videos and check-ins throughout her stay. She took good care of our place and Mo was in good spirits when we came home. We’ve already booked Angela again. I would definitely recommend her!
