“Lauren, did a great job caring for our puppy Gunner, old grumpy dog Jack and our house while we were away. Both dogs being at very different life stages required specific needs and she cared for each wonderfully. She communicated regularly with photos and messages and left our dogs tired and happy and our house spotless. Definitely recommend Lauren to house/and or dog sit!”
“Annie was really thorough and prepared for her stay here with Ellie. She asked a ton of questions in our initial visit and left me feeling very confident that she would care for Ellie as I would. She also came by the house to get reacquainted again with Ellie the day before our trip. And I think it really helped with Ellie’s separation anxiety. Overall, Annie was great. Communicated about Ellie everyday which made our trip all the better. Thank you Annie!!”
About: Hi!! I have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages. I am new to rover but have been working with animals for several years- this includes walks, dog training and belly rubs! Giving medications, doing their physical therapy exercises for seniors I can help with it all. Scroll through my gallery to meet my references!! I work a flexible schedule (I’m a Medical Device Engineer), so just shoot me a message and we can work something out. I am super outdoorsy so I go on a lot of walks and hikes..I know all the local trails. I also have a bunch of fun puzzles and other brain games for puppies that can’t leave home. Shoot me a message we can work out the best care plan for your pets. I carry my treat pouch on all visit, will have treats and poop bags. I also rock climb so my upper body strength is right up there to keep your excited puppies safe and while letting them explore. I love sniffaris . I’m also an expert hiding medications just right to get your babies to take them willingly! I can read body language and will always maintain communication with you!
About: I’ve grown up having dogs and cats my whole life! They bring me so much joy, and life is so much better with our fluffy friends. Growing up, I’ve been blessed with Shih Tzu’s, a Maltese, a labradoodle, a golden doodle, Siamese cats, a tuxedo cat, and a ragdoll. Besides my own pets, I have lots of experience pet sitting Dalmatians, German Shepherds, and indoor/outdoor cats. I love to spend time with them and will ensure they have everything they need to be happy and healthy. I also have lots of experience administering medicine. I promise to love your fur baby and treat them as I would my own. ❤️ I will talk to them, sing to them, and of course, spoil them! I’m a full-time musician and my week days are usually very flexible. I have shows during evenings and weekends, but I can always make time to check in on your pets for potty and feeding times. With my own dogs and cats, I know how important attention and quality time are for their health and happiness. I will follow your instructions on your pet’s needs, including walks, feeding times, treats, medications, and play!
About: I’ve spent the last 8 years being the best dog mom to my chocolate Lab, Iris—she’s my family and best friend. From training her as a puppy to keeping up with her endless energy, I’ve learned what it takes to care for dogs with love, patience, and plenty of playtime. Whether your pup needs a walking buddy, belly rubs, or just someone to hang out with, I’ve got them covered. As a dog owner myself, pet care is already a part of my daily life! I’ve been caring for my dog Iris for the past 8 years, so fitting in walks, feedings, and playtime comes naturally to me. As a student, I only have classes two days a week, which leaves me plenty of time to care for other pets. Whether your pup needs a walk, some company, or overnight care, I can easily work around my schedule to make sure they’re happy and well cared for—just like I do for my own dog every day!" I live alone in a ground-floor apartment with an enclosed backyard, so if your pup stays with me, they’ll have a safe and fun environment to play, explore, and relax. Whether it’s fetch in the yard, cozy naps, or just hanging out, I make sure every dog feels right at home. If I’m pet sitting at your home, I treat both your pet and space with the utmost care and respect. I ensure your dog gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while also keeping your home tidy and secure. No matter where I’m watching your pup, their safety and happiness are always my top priority!
“Jingyling was absolutely amazing taking care of our senior pup. Our pup had some recent medical issues and she took excellent care of her. She gave us lots of updates and left the home tidy. Will use again.”
“Jane was absolutely lovely! This was my first time hiring anyone to watch my babies and I felt so confident in Jane to take care of them. From start to finish the process was extremely smooth, especially for my last minute booking. My animals, home, and mind were all taken care of while I went out of state! I appreciate you so much Jane!”
“Ana was so so sweet! She did an amazing job taking care of our pup! She gave us frequent updates, asked in depth questions about him and his routine, and followed his schedule perfectly! She left him fulfilled and happy. Will for sure book with her again if I need a sitter for sure she was the best!!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for over 16 years, from playful puppies to older cats who just want some quiet company. I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for them. I treat every pet like part of my family, giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because animals are such a big part of my life. I’m currently not working, which means I have plenty of free time to devote to your pets, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to give them my full attention and care, making sure they feel loved and never rushed! I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe and happy while you’re away. I keep a calm and cozy environment where your pet can relax and feel at home. I’m careful on walks, always keep leashes secure, and pay close attention to their comfort and mood. Building trust with pets (and their people!) means everything to me, and I always go the extra mile to make sure everyone feels at ease.
“Probably the best sitter we’ve had so far. Went above and beyond on everything. Provided plenty of updates and did as much as possible to make sure our dogs were happy and comfortable.”
“Sarah took such great care of our senior dog and followed all the instructions precisely! She also left our house spotless, and you honestly couldn’t tell someone was staying at our place. Sarah was also quick to respond and send regular updates to us. She also did things around the house like taking in our trash bins and watering our garden. I would highly recommend her and plan to booking her the next time we go out of town.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 12 years old. I have a great reputation and known for being very caring and friendly towards pets. I’m a dog and cat bather too so I can also bath your pet! I currently work part time so I have plenty of spare time to care for your pets. I work in the mornings so I have the afternoons free for your pets. I will make sure your pet is safe indoors or outdoors. I will cradle your pet if needed to keep them safe from any visitors you might be having in your home or the mailman.
About: A dog lover with 19+ years of experience with dogs. I have taken care of dogs with behavioral problems, as well as dogs with medical issues. I have experience with giving dogs medicine and eye drops, bathing and grooming, and trimming nails. I have taken care of dogs over 100 lbs, and those under 10 lbs. I am able to handle them patiently and carefully, and have a willingness to do dirty and less pleasant tasks. I am responsible and am sure to take any duty given to me.

I plan my schedule around pet visits to ensure consistent feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I’m flexible and organized, which allows me to give each pet focused attention without rushing, whether it’s daily care or weekly sitting. I had a fenced community,so your dog will be safe as always.Dog will be on leash at all times when we are outside no need to worry!
“Elizabeth is amazing! I cannot imagine a better pet sitter. I was gone for 10 days, and the whole time she was communicative and sent lots of pictures. When I got home, my apartment was better than I left it! I could tell both of my pets were comfortable with and well loved by her. Thank you Elizabeth!!!”
“My pups could not have had better care while we were in vacation! Chelsea and Rich we so attentive to our boys and so great at communicating with us (with adorable pictures as well!) during the long weekend. Their thoughtfulness really was apparent immediately on meeting them as they asked great questions about the care for our dogs, and they actively provided updates that kept us informed and feeling relaxed knowing they were cared for. Would recommend to ANY one looking for top level care for their fur babies!”
“I cannot say enough positive things about Gabby. She took care of my husky and cat for two weeks. She updated me with pictures daily and I could see that both of my pets were happy and well taken care of. She’s an excellent communicator and genuinely cares about animals. She left the house spotless upon my return. I will definitely be booking her in the future and I highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a dog or cat sitter. Thank you so much, Gabby.”
Washington Square pet parents share their Rover experiences
Holly did an amazing job taking care of our dogs and our home while we were away! She handled our dogs, two Great Danes (including a senior) with so much care, patience, and love. Managing dogs of such different needs isn’t easy, but she made it look effortless. On top of that, she kept our house spotless, which we really appreciated. It was such a relief knowing everything was in great hands. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and a clean home. We highly recommend Holly to anyone looking for a responsible, trustworthy, and kind sitter. We’ll definitely be booking her again!
My second time booking Vivien to watch Zyon in our home! She is very responsive, gives real time updates and sends pics and videos. She is calm and patient with my dog who can be excitable and anxious at times. I will continue to book with her and recommend!
She took such good care for all of our pets and updates in detail everyday which is super helpful and relief so we could fully enjoy our trip. She is very responsible and respectful. She left our home cleaner than we left it. We plan on booking chloe again for our next trip. We highly recommend chloe for any pet sitting needs.
This was our second time booking Will, but our first time having him house sit for us. We couldn’t be more pleased with the care that Will provided for our 2 dogs! He also left our home very clean! We will continue to book Will for all our future pet sitting needs! :)
Sophia does an amazing job of taking care of our dear Marley and our home. She exudes a calm confidence and is responsible and considerate. She sends lots of great updates and photos, and we can relax and enjoy our vacations! We have been so lucky to have her help us multiple times and look forward to more!
Matt and Bella were great pet sitters. There communication and punctuality were perfect - amazing!!!! We have 4 raucous dogs - 3 are over 50 pounds and Matt was so calm with them that they greeted him like an old friend. We received regular updates and photos, which are so appreciated, especially being a nervous pet parent. It's always so nice to come home after a busy weekend and the house was in perfect order and the pups were happy - Ahhhhh! I highly recommend Matt and Bella to provide your pet and housesitting needs. Thank you so much!
Christian was a phenomenal dog-sitter! He made sure to provide updates of the service everyday. I greatly appreciated his communication style - Especially while my husband and I were out of town. He also made sure to inform us of any incidents while we were away. I felt so at ease while on vacation, and it’s all thanks to Christian. Overall, our family would love to book him again (if he’d have us, of course!). Thank you, again for taking care of our fur-son. <3
Abigail was the best!! She followed instructions to the letter! My babies were very happy when I got home. I can tell when my Bentley does not have a good experience and he showed no signs of anxiety when I got home. I will definitely rebook Abigail again and again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Elyssa was amazing! She stayed in our home for 5 days and took care of our senior goldendoodle. A 14 yr old dog has a different set of needs and Elyssa was a gem. She recognized Colby’s desire to play/walk/cuddle and the challenges that come with it. The pictures she sent daily showed our dog was putty in her loving hands! I can’t wait to use her again. Thank you Rover for helping me find such a wonderful caregiver and thank you Elyssa!! 🐾
