“Bryant was excellent with my senior dog. He was incredibly experienced in terms of my dog’s specific needs, including diaper changes and being mindful of her dementia traits. He was also very communicative and offered multiple updates throughout the day.”

“Darianny was reliable and communicative, which are the 2 attributes we most appreciate. Finn was in good spirits when we returned. Would not hesitate to use Darianny in the future.”
“This is our second time rebooking Tenielle. Tenielle house sat for us for three weeks (we were getting married and going on honeymoon) and Tenielle was so responsive in taking our dog Sal out for walks, she sent pictures and kept us updated on her the whole time! We unexpectedly missed our flight and supposed to come home but had to stay an extra day and Tenielle was able to stay for one more day, which we were so grateful for. She tided up before she left and I highly recommend Tenielle as your dog sitter! Thank you Tenielle!!”

“Kamryn was great! She was very patient with our shy girl and stuck with it to start to earn her trust. She was also responsive and very accommodating when we needed to adjust timing/location slightly.”

“Antonio was a wonderful babysitter for my two puppies. One of my dogs has severe separation anxiety, and Antonio was incredibly attentive and patient with him. He kept me consistently updated throughout the day, was very communicative, and shared plenty of pictures, which gave me great peace of mind. At the end of the visit, he even offered helpful tips that I truly appreciated as a first-time dog owner. I would absolutely recommend him.”

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats of friends for several years. I also worked in an animal hospital where I fed, walked, helped groom, and dispensed meds to animals. I love animals!!! I'm currently in school part time. I am available weekdays after 4 PM and weekends. This is a 12 week session so please reach out to me and I will be as flexible as possible. I have a fenced courtyard at my apt.I can take pets to a park across the street, and be attending to their needs. If it isn't in my home, I would care for them in the same way. I currently volunteer at the ASPCA and have availability to care for pets everyday. My schedule is very flexible and I am taking new clients as well. I will care for pets in my home or clients and am willing to do any service that is needed.I am very patient, caring, attentive, and energetic. I also live near several dog parks and enjoy the outdoors.
“kamila is great. I went out of town for a few days, and my normal catsitter wasn't available for twice-daily check-ins. she lives close to me so it's easy, but i felt like asking someone new to drop by multiple times a day was a lot. so I decided to just try full-on house sitting for the first time. I'm glad I did! kamila came over a couple days before I left for a meet and greet, to meet me, my 2 cats, and see my home. during my trip, kamila would send me twice-daily recaps with photos (as requested), and the cats looked comfy and happy. one of them didn't seem to leave her side! I left a lot of detailed instructions to keep their routine as "same" as possible, and kamila handled my neuroticism like a pro. lastly, kamila was also a thoughtful house guest - when I got home, it didn't look like anyone had even been here! I will definitely be booking with kamila again in the future. she is great with cats, people, and homes! thank you!! 💜”

“Susan took the best care of our 14 year old Boston terrier Tootsie while we were away for the weekend. She is so communicative, kind, and Tootsie absolutely loved her!! Can’t recommend her enough :) we will definitely be booking with her again in the future!!”
“Jorge is the best! My girls were so well behaved on our first walk when returning home! He is like a Dog whisperer! I can tell he took great care of them and we will definitely use him again!”

“Leora is an amazing sitter! She took amazing care of my pup and did a lot of walks and was patient with her quirks! Leora also was very conscientious of taking good care of my apartment and made sure it would be comfortable for me to go right to sleep because I got back very late. I would use her again and again!”

About: I’ve had welcomed my first pet ever when I was 10 years old , then in 2012 I’ve have welcome another fur baby to the family . Being around my own personal pets made me love doing dog sitting a lot more so starting in 2013 I’ve decided to volunteer and also become employed with the services of onboarding , dog walking , etc . I love doing my job when it comes to pets because I think of them as my own. I am currently working Monday - Friday but my schedule is also very flexible. I am free on the weekends if services are needed as well. When caring for your pets in your home or my home they are well taken care of between any medications, a routine that they follow I will make sure that while your away they will be left in great hands .
“I’m not kidding, I’m tempted to gatekeep but won’t because Alyssa deserves all the love and dog jobs in the world. Seriously, best dog sitter ever. Thoughtful, sent daily summaries and photos, my reactive dog was so HAPPY!!! I feel truly lucky to have found her. 10/10. She is the best. Will rebook again and again and again as long as she wants to keep watching pups.”


About: I grew up in Washington DC and I graduated from Wesleyan University in 2024. Since then, I have been preparing for my medical school applications. I am a certified EMT and I recently took my MCAT. Before I wanted to be a doctor I dreamed of being a veterinarian. I wanted to be around animals and care for them so badly that my parents signed me up for Cub Creek Science Camp (an animal camp). After two years as a camper, I got the opportunity to be an Animal Specialist in Training! This came with the responsibility of caring after the animals at the camp and leading activities for the campers. I grew always having dogs around the house and being at animal camp allowed me to learn about caring for all animals (cats, snakes, rodents, birds, etc.). I approach animal care with the utmost responsibility and care. Please note, I am very familiar and comfortable with specialized care. I have two senior dogs and one of them is blind. I am currently in the application process for medical school so I have a lot of flexibility and time in my schedule to look after your pups and kitties! I care for my pets daily and ensure they have everything they need to be happy and healthy. I love animals and approach every pet the same way I do my own. I want to gain an understanding of your pets’ regular routine and replicate that so they feel the most comfortable once I begin caring for them.
About: WHO AM I? I am Juliet who lives in The Bronx. I own all types of pets growing up from canines, felines, to reptiles. Since I was younger, I always wanted to work with animals to be a veterinarian. The closest I got was working for boarding facility as a manager, which I learned so much from health, and safety protocol between me and the pets, to pets on pets. I know the signs of when aggressions are about to happen or when a pet is stressed to working with very nervous and anxious pets. I might not have a lot of reviews as in right now because I'm still new to rover but with my experience, skills and great customer service I can be a great sitter for you! All I asked of you is to leave a review after your boarding experience with me, you feedback is important! Each feedback brings me closer to being the great sitter you need me to be! Rover is a full time job! I am always here with your pup unless I'm doing a grocery run. 6am: feeding 6:30am-9am: morning exercise (Ex: walking, playing, dog park) 10am-1pm: rest time 1pm-2pm: lunch (if required) 3pm-4pm: keeping up with training 5pm-8pm: dinner and last walk Please remember this is an ideal schedule for me to keep up with but I do understand that I receive pets that can have possible health problems, on medication, or just senior pets who needs to just chill at home in the AC. Please feel free to update me on the ideal schedule you would like for me to provide for your pet. There’s many safety equipment in my house to ensure everyone safely. I have gates on every door way. I have kennels one is a 48Lx30Wx32H and the other one is 24Lx18Wx19H. Kennels will only be used if requested. Does your dog like to run out the house , don’t worry I got you covers where I have a two gate system to ensure no one will run out on top of that my building have a two door where it requires a person to push the button to open the door to leave .
“Lesly stayed at our house with Archie (our very anxious mutt) and was so great! Gave us incredible updates & photos/videos everyday, and took great care of Archie. She left the house clean and tidy, and even left us some (human) treats! We will definitely have her back again!”

West Mount Vernon pet parents share their Rover experiences
Andrea is incredibly attentive and always puts me at ease while I'm away! She sends adorable pictures of my kitty, sends updates every day and I can tell when I get home that she's been treated like a queen. So grateful to have someone I can trust looking after my home and my girl!

Ypsi was very kind and professional. She got us out of a bind as my other sitter had a conflict at short notice. My dog is experiencing separation anxiety, so right now she’s not the easiest to care for and I appreciated that Ypsi was patient and willing to sit with her.

Lina was absolutely wonderful. We were on a vacation far away and very worried about our aging dogs. She took wonderful care of of them, sent pictures, and kept in close touch. It was very comforting to know our dogs were happy while we were away and we could see it in their faces. Lina generously provided extra TLC and the dogs seem to respond to her genuine care for them. Thank you so much, Lina. It’s wonderful to meet you and we will call you again for sure.

Juliet is THE BEST! This was the first time we had a sitter stay in our home since one of our doggies is now blind and we could not be happier with how Juliet took care of our girls. She communicated throughout the week and was so respectful of our home, she left it with basically no trace LOL I can't recommend her enough. We've been trusting her with our girls for a couple of years now and will continue to have her be our go-to sitter. Thank you Juliet!

This is our second time using Adam. My dogs were very excited to see him return. I have 2 very high drive, competition dogs who need a lot of stimulation and exercise. They also have special diets. Adam had everything under control. House was spotless when we returned. Highly recommend Dawn/Adam.

Melisa was an amazing dog and house sitter! Frankie loved her and felt comfortable with her immediately. She communicated consistently, letting me know when she walked Frankie, that he did his business, and that he ate. She even sent adorable photos of him cuddling with her, which gave me so much peace of mind. Melisa left my house absolutely impeccable, watered my plants, and brought in my packages as well. I’m so excited to have found such a caring and responsible person, and I will definitely be booking her again!
