“My dog absolutely loves going to Ryan & Jefra ‘s! The moment we pull up, his tail starts wagging like crazy because he knows he’s about to have the best time. They treat him like part of their family — he gets tons of love, attention, and playtime. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring hands. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter! Highly recommend!”
“Lena did an amazing job boarding our cat! She sent so many lovely update photos, was very flexible when we had to get a forgotten item to her, and was attentive/informative about how our cat was eating. We absolutely recommend her for pet care and hope to use her again in the future!”
“Excellent job! Vivian went above and beyond the call of duty. Communication was highly professional, She was a great cat sitter, fast response and very affordable! Would absolutely leave my baby again with her if I'm away again! ... Very friendly & helpful. She kept me updated with photos and the communication was great too. Absolutely recommending her services.”
“I had an emergency trip. Jennifer was able to care for my furball at the last moment until I got back. Jennifer send pics of her giving him a bath and how she nicely groomed his long hair around his face. Thank you Jennifer!!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been caring for them for over 24 years. In addition to helping friends and family with their pets, I’ve volunteered in animal shelters and gained experience with many different dogs. I treat every dog with patience, care, and respect. I work full-time, but pet care fits well into my routine. I’m available for care during weekdays and fully available on weekends. I always make time to give dogs proper attention, walks, and consistency. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow each dog’s routine closely, keep doors and leashes secure, and supervise interactions at all times. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment.
“Priyanka is the best Rover care giver I’ve ever had. She is caring and thoughtful and took incredible care of our senior dog. We’re so grateful to her and will definitely book her again”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Eva was professional, kind, and incredibly attentive. They went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable and cared for. Highly recommended!”
“Marina and Renata did a great job looking after my pup while I was away for a few days! They were super communicative and sent lots of photos. I would absolutely recommend and I would book them again happily!”
“Imari was AMAZING with my Frenchie puppy! I got constant updates and pictures. Imari communicated well with me throughout the stay. She was even kind enough to wash her potty for me. I will 100% be bringing my Frenchie baby to Imari if I ever need a sitter! Thank you Imari. Do not hesitate to book Imari if you are in the uptown area and need a sitter.”
“Lal was amazing! She watched our puppy and was very communicative and committed to taking great care of him! It was our first time leaving him and we were so pleased with her and are glad to have a trusted sitter!”

Washington Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Binta was everything you could ever want in a pet-sitter! She had clearly reviewed my care instructions in advance, sent thoughtful, detailed updates and pictures each day, and created a comforting, cozy space for my dog :) I was so grateful to have total peace of mind during my time away! Would 1000% book again.
They provide great care for my dog and regular updates. They followed all instructions and were very communicative throughout the entire experience, which was easy and great. The sitters were very polite and professional, and I would definitely book with them again. I would also happily recommend them to others. The service is great and affordable, and I would definitely trust them with my dogs again. Thanks for being there when I couldn't.
Alanis & Marco was awesome! I am glad to have chosen them.Truffles stayed at their home for 8 days and was treated like one of the family. Truffles particularly loved the attention, cuddles, fenced yard, comfy couch & their furbaby Zoro. As a first-timer with them, they kept in touch frequently with updates and photos, which really allowed me to enjoy my trip. Professional, caring, and reliable; they are genuinely passionate caregivers! Truffles was just as playful and happy when I returned. I will definitely book again and I recommend them for your pet caregiver too.
To say Isabelle was amazing is an understatement. Your dog is always your first concern while on vacation. But when you have a reactive dog, who’s with an unfamiliar sitter, it’s very nerve racking. Isabelle made my dogs stay so comfortable. She was very responsive and constantly sent videos and pictures. For the first time in almost 3 years while owning my dog, I wasn’t constantly worried about him because she was so great. Her and her boyfriend figured out ways to make him not feel panicked. And I can tell they have a genuine heart when it comes to animals. I will definitely recommend her to friends and family, she is AMAZING!
I’m so so so happy we booked with Melissa. She was quick to respond and sent lots of pictures and updates to keep my mind at ease. She was always incredibly sweet and confident. What a pro. I have a 12 yr old shepherd who needs meds and has some reactivity issues but Melissa knew how to handle it. We will definitely be booking with her again. Lady seems so happy and comfortable after her stay.
Fatima was a real pleasure to work with and she and Marley were fast friends immediately upon meeting. The photos of my old dog playing at the dog run was a joy to see as he hasn't done that in years! I'm so glad that we found Fatima. We'll definitely use her next time we need to board Marley. She was fantastic!
Madison was great! She was very communicative with how my dogs were doing and updating me on when they ate. She has a nice and open space which was great for my dogs who like to roam around sometimes. If your pets don’t like being indoors with other pets, Madison doesn’t have any, which was perfect for my two dogs who get anxious when surrounded by other animals. Overall, it was great and I will most definitely rebook when needed!
Yuan is the best EVER. She helped when I urgently needed to be with family. Not only did she help me during a quick turn around, Yuan was flexible as my timing changed, steady, and calm. Most, most importantly, my pup has never been so calm and unphased when I picked her up and she’s a mini Aussie/Border Collie (!!). Fantastic communication, great exercise, and great care and concern all around. I’m afraid Yuan will be tough to book in the future - she’s that amazing. ;) Thank you, Yuan!
