“Wish I could give more than 5 stars for Alloria! She went above and beyond taking care of our two cats. Was extremely responsive and flexible when we had last minute travel plans. Highly recommend!!”

“Alexandria is my go-to and most trusted cat sitter! She's communicative and she takes good care of my cat. I appreciate that she takes the time to play with her and get to know her. You won't go wrong with Alexandria!”


“⸻ Let me just say—after my first two dog sitters, I almost gave up on this app 🙂. But I’m so glad I found Victor. He is incredibly kind and truly cares. My dog absolutely loves him—he wags his tail and gets just as excited to see Victor as he does to see me, which says everything. Victor is also very reliable. He doesn’t just stick to the exact booked time or show up late like others. He often arrives a few minutes early and sometimes stays a little longer, which I really appreciate. It shows how genuine and dedicated he is. I also have a camera at home, since my dog can’t tell me about his day—and it’s clear that Victor treats him with care and attention. That gives me a lot of peace of mind. He will definitely be my to-go dog sitter moving forward!”


“I was nervous leaving my cat alone for an extended period of time but Selina took excellent care of my girl and helped me out with some things around the apartment as well. She is a pet smart person who knows animals. 10/10 would rebook.”

About: Hi! I'm a college student working toward vet school, so caring for animals isn't just a job for me, it’s what I genuinely love doing. I've had my own cat for 5 years, so I know what it's like to be a pet parent. I've also spent plenty of time watching other people’s dogs and cats, from very high energy puppies to older dogs who just want a quiet environment. I'm comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. If something’s wrong I will reach out immediately. Since I'm on summer break, I have a pretty open schedule, but I do like to be upfront about my specific availability. I'm available Monday through Friday all day. On Saturdays, I'm available after 4:00 PM. I can also do evening visits, but I wrap things up by 10:00 PM. My schedule is pretty open until I start class the 28th of August. I will have class on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11am to 1:45pm and Fridays from 10am to 1:45pm. I know routines are really important to pets, so I'll work around whatever schedule your pet is used to, like midday walks, afternoon play sessions, or evening check-ins before bed. Consistency is very important! I only provide care in your home because I believe that pets are more comfortable in their own environment, with their own things and smells. I'm really careful with doors or any gates and will always make sure to double check every exit to make sure your pet stays safely inside. I will treat your home the way I'd want mine treated, I will clean up after myself, wash any bowls I use, and leave things tidy. I'll also send any updates/photos at every visit so you can see how things are going. I will also save your vet's contact info, just in case of any emergency. I always like to be prepared for anything.
“Brionna is AMAZING! I have a 2 year old cat that I recently adopted and was nervous as this was the first time I would ever be away from my kitty but Brionna’s calm and kind demeanor quickly put me at ease! She was so communicative leading up to the visit and throughout. Her daily photos and remarks let me know that Tortellini was safe, cared for and comfortable! Highly recommend and I’ll definitely be asking her to take care of Tortellini again :)”


About: I’ve grown up caring about pets - starting from rodents to taking care of stray dogs & cats. I got a dog later when I was older and took care of him since he was 2 months for over 6 years. He’s now happily living with my mom in another country due to some circumstances, but I miss being around a dog too much. He’s quite a character and pretty stubborn & yappy, so he hasn’t always been the easiest to walk, but that gave me plenty of experience 🙂 I’m currently working from home & part-time, so I set my own hours and am able to take breaks between my calls. I don’t work the whole day, so I can give your pet enough attention & playtime. I do not have a pet at home, and neither do I have a backyard. It’s a pretty spacious 1 bedroom with an elevator, and the park is not too far from the building.
“Leonore was consistent and reliable in caring for my cats while I was away! She communicated well throughout and made sure my shy cats were comfortable with her. I would definitely trust her to care for my cats again!”

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.
About: I’ve grown up with/cared for all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and more. I have professionally cared for both senior dogs and puppies, including basic training. These were dogs of all breeds, sizes and backgrounds. I currently have two rescue cats and would love to care for some doggies in my free time, as I can’t have them in my apartment! I am currently working part time in the city, and have a very free/flexible schedule. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my free time looking after your fur babies! If caring for your pet in your personal home, I will keep their routine as close to normal as possible to ensure they feel comfortable. I know animals can get anxiety with sudden change, so I would ensure they feel safe. I am great at giving constant updates/photos, so you can see how your fur baby is doing! I love cuddles if they are comfortable with this, and play time to keep them stimulated.
“Megan was a great sitter for Nyla. She was very flexible when I added additional visits and requested changes in the visits. I will definitely be scheduling her for future visits.”

About: I had two senior chihuahuas, Pepe was a blind senior, who have both moved on now. I’ve trained Kozmo and Otto since they were puppies. Kozmo understands commands in English, Italian, and American sign language. Otto is still learning, as he’s a puppy, to walk with his big brother, and other basic commands. I work from home Wednesday thru Sunday so I have a lot of time with pups for playing, long walks, for sitting and also to go to client’s dog homes. I have three friendly dogs to keep your pup company with bucketful of toys. Two of them are playful, the third is 15 and still young but doesn’t play. I can also come over and spend time with your pup to play and do walks together.
“Emily was amazing with our cats! She sent so many updates and pictures. She made sure to befriend both of them even though one is very shy and she made them so comfortable. We will definitely make sure to book her again because the girls loved their time with her!”

“Binta was a wonderful sitter for my Cleo! I appreciate how she took the time to get to know Cleo and wrote meaningful updates. Cleo is a shy, reserved girl but Binta was able to get through to her! I hope to book with Binta again in the future. Thanks for everything, Binta!!”


“Lee is an amazing dog sitter and walker -- over the course of almost 2 years we worked with Lee in NY as our primary sitter/walker. He was incredibly responsive via text, the app or otherwise. With walking he walked my Dane - Ryan 2-5 times a week and would flex to show up when I was often late at the office. Lee also stayed at my home with Ryan often - he was clean, respectful of the space an totally attentive to my pup. My roommate mentioned rarely noticing he had even been there. When Lee wasn't available he had friends on recommendation who were amazing and even went out of his way to hand off his set of keys to them. Lee became such a part of Ryan's life often he was more excited when Lee arrived than when I did! We've since moved to LA and will miss him greatly!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Washington Heights
Anna-Laurie was a blessing, through and through. She took GREAT care of our two lil feline furballs— with excellent report cards that were so personal, thorough, and full of photos. She has an excellent personality to boot 👢Will 110% rebook with her in the future (and you should too).

Emily was a great drop-in sitter for my 2 cats for 11 days. She responded quickly to my initial request that she was available. Emily came by my apartment to meet the cats and go over their care before the scheduled visits. She checked in daily and provided pictures. I wouldn't hesitate to have Emily care for my cats again.
