“Mary does a wonderful job! Walks with my dog, gives lots of pets and attention to my cat and dog! Know they are excited to see her when I’m traveling.”

About: Hi, I’m Gabe! I’ve had dogs all my life and currently have a Basenji and a Chihuahua mix that I’m obsessed with (they are so spoiled). Dogs are part of our family. Being a responsible dog owner is important to me, and I bring that same level of care to every dog I look after. I know what it feels like to hire someone new for your pup. I’ve been there, so I show up reliably, communicate clearly, and make sure you feel completely comfortable. Your dog will be treated with real attention, respect, and care. I genuinely enjoy meeting new dogs, getting to know their personalities, and giving them a fun, positive experience. I look forward to taking great care of your dog! I am a remote worker and am available most days and times. I work from home and take care of my dogs and my baby boy and have a ton of flexibility. I’m typically available on short notice as well. I treat everyone’s home with respect, just like it is my own. I want you to feel comfortable and confident with me locking up, taking care of your dog, and leaving everything as I would expect it in my own home. I believe in strong communication and will keep you updated.
“Megan was wonderful with our two boys. Prompt and on scheduled with drop in visits, which was comforting because my dog takes pills around the clock. Would highly recommend”

“We could not have asked for a better person to watch our two little ones when we went away for an extended period of time. Not only did she send amazing pictures and made sure they were getting enough love, but she was invaluable during a particularly stressful period of time when both of our cats automatic feeders went off-line, and we couldn’t figure it out remotely. Out of the kindness of her heart, she went back to our apartment multiple times to ensure that the cats were fed, she truly went above and beyond for them, and I can’t imagine asking anyone else to watch over our cats.”

“Kathryn did an excellent job taking care of our two cats for two days. She quickly responded to all communication leading up to the first visit, sent us photos and videos of our cats.”

“Alexandra was absolutely wonderful with my pup, Sassy! 🐾 While I was busy at a conference during the day, she made sure Sassy was cared for, loved, and comfortable. I felt so at ease knowing Sassy was in such good hands. Alexandra is attentive, reliable, and clearly has a natural way with animals. I came back to a happy and relaxed pup, which says it all. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

“Salina was so patient with our scaredy-cat of a Shih Tzu. He has a lot of anxiety and she did great managing his fear and keeping him safe and sound!”

“Lucia was great! She was able to help with a last minute booking. It was my first time leaving my kittens overnight, but they liked Lucia and had no issues. She followed the instructions I left well and was good with giving updates. Would book again!”

“Pedro was the most perfect pet sitter for our cats! He is very caring, has extreme attention to detail and followed my instructions very carefully. One of my cats is overweight and I expressed my concern with her getting proper exercise, and Pedro made sure to send videos of her chasing the laser pointer, without me having to ask! I will definitely rebook with him in the future. Thank you so much for being a trusted sitter!”

“Ana was really great and a good communicator! She understands the needs of my high energy dog breed(Airedale). She gave her all the TLC and time to burn off the energy! It’s great to connect with someone who is reliable and loves pet! Will be using her going forward! Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I have owned larger breeds since I was a child. I have experience with feeding, grooming, walking ,and head or belly scratches and the occasionally a casual bum scratch. I have always had a dog in my home but this year we don’t have our dog anymore. So if your pet isn’t one that gets along with others that isn’t an issue. I also love cats as well rather they are homebound or wants to walk with me around the neighborhood. I work 4 days a week but the other 3 I can never seem to find anything to do worth leaving the house. After the gym this would occupy me and earn me a little more money. I do not have a yard however I do live in an apartment with many parks and trails to walk on. Though if your dog or cat already has a schedule I prefer to stick to that one. I am also not foreign to animals wanting to be on furniture which I have no problem with if they are CLEAN. I would love to snuggle with your little angel. If it is your home I would appreciate a list of things you’d like me to do and where to get the tools to do it and it’s that simple!
“Brittany did a great job this weekend. She is so attentive to our dogs needs and likes. I highly recommend her if your dogs are as big a part of your family as ours are.”

“Cristal went above and beyond repeatedly for my boys. I have two senior large breed dogs, and they’re a lot. One has ivdd and has eaten 90% of his tail and repeatedly tries to get to it to chew more off, as well as some GI issues right now and Cristal expressed so much concern and care for his wellbeing while I attended my brothers wedding. She did such a good job that my girlfriend was jealous that she was taking care of the dogs and not her haha, silly I know. But I could not recommend anyone more than I would Cristal. An exceptional human being and incredibly caring pet sitter.”


“Lindsey did a great job looking after my 2 girls while I was away. She has consistent communication and she kept me up to speed on how the dogs were doing while we were on vacation. We will definitely use her again when the time comes.”

“Grace was absolutely wonderful with my shy boy! He took to her immediately and really enjoyed having her company while I was out of town. Grace has the magic touch with cranky older cats! She also took great care to keep the space clean and tidy. I would absolutely recommend Grace and will definitely hire her again when we travel!”

“Katelyn was fantastic with Maddison! I am thankful for her great care and time she spent with her! I look forward to having her watch Maddie for any future trips.”
“Breckyn has helped watch our senior dog twice now and has been excellent! She has become our go-to whenever we travel and our dog needs walks/drop ins. Highly recommend Breckyn if you’re looking for dog sitting or walking.”


“Sarah was punctual and a good communicator when it came to initially meeting my dog and doing a drop in visit! I really appreciated her notes and photos of my dog while I was out. I would definitely use Sarah again!”

“We absolutely love KATE! This was my first time using Rover, and like most dog moms I was very nervous. I have never used a drop in service before and had a tons of questions and concerns. Kate offered to do a meet and greet with Graham (my fur-baby) and he took to her very well. She was so sweet and kind and I felt reassured with my decision to let her care for Graham. She followed my written instructions down to a tee. We will be using her services again!”

Washington Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
If I could give 10 stars, I would!! Jenna was amazing with my cats! She was very attentive and gave them lots of love, while also looking after small things around my house (taking out trash etc). Her communication was amazing and she sent lots of cute pictures throughout her visit!
Latrice went above and beyond. Truly. I appreciate all the sweet pics she sent of Dolly while i was gone along with updates:) my condo has a keyfob only entry and her flexibility in meeting me after a late flight home to drop keys was so incredibly kind and appreciated on my end. Dolly very much enjoyed being in Latrice’s care and ill absolutely be booking Latrice again the next time I’m out of town:)

Ana was really great and a good communicator! She understands the needs of my high energy dog breed(Airedale). She gave her all the TLC and time to burn off the energy! It’s great to connect with someone who is reliable and loves pet! Will be using her going forward! Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
