1. Molly M.

“Molly was great! She was able to help me out very last minute and took great care of my cat, Daphne. She spent some time playing with her every visit and sent the best pictures and updates. Thank you!!”


2. Jonathan C.

“Thanks Jonathan for looking after our cat Maisie for a week at relatively short notice. She was very content when we returned and am happy to recommend your cat sitting services”


3. Brandon N.

“Brandon is absolutely awesome. We were away for a week and he took excellent care of our pup while we were away. One of my family members who was checking on things while we were away accidentally locked a lock that Brandon didn’t have a key for and once he got in touch with me he drove back to my house after 11 pm just to make sure the dog went out one more time. He’s a gem!”


4. Katie & Zayn S.

“Katie and Zayn were great! This was a last minute trip and we needed someone to watch our 2 cats, they did it no problem. Excellent communication and came back to two happy cats!”


5. Kelly N.

“Kelly is the absolute best. This was our first time on Rover, and her communications were clear and quick, and she did great work reassuring us that our pup was in good hands. Loved the photographs, and really appreciated the time she took to communicate with us by phone and by text. We’re only slightly concerned that our pup now likes her more than us! 😀 Hugely impressed with Kelly - she’ll take fab care of your pups.”




6. Steve W.

“Steve has been walking my 3 dogs every day for the past year, and they love him! They get so excited when he comes to the house. He’s very gentle, kind and loving with all 3. They have a lot of energy, and Steve has a lot of patience, always seeing to it that they get a lot of exercise and are very well cared for. He’s trustworthy and very reliable. He comes to the house every day at the same time, and if he ever needs to make a schedule change, I’m notified we’ll in advance. I highly recommend Steve to anyone who is looking for a kind and honest person to walk/look after their dog!”


7. Karin F.

“I'm so glad we found Karin! She went above and beyond for our cats during her drop-in visits when we were away. She also brought in packages without us asking and cleaned up after the big messes our kitten made. She also administered our older cat's anxiety medication. This cat has severe anxiety and trusts no one besides me and my husband but during the last few visits, our cat actually approached Karin, which is basically unheard of!”


8. Carmen L.

“Carmen did a great job dropping in for our 2 dogs to give them dinner and bathroom breaks. She sent pictures for updates and the dogs seemed very happy. Will definitely use her again”


9. Samantha H.
“We couldn't be happier with Sam watching out pets! Our cat is . . . "particular" and she has taken the time to get to know him and ensure that he is safe and comfortable when we are away. She is professional, courteous, and always follows through on our plans. She is great with cats and dogs and reptiles - all of ours love her!”


10. Kyra M.


“Kyra is always so reliable and is so great with my dog who can be a nervous around strangers. Can always count on her to give great updates and take Josie on her favorite routes for her walks. Will always choose Kyra when she is available!”


11. Jon E.


“Jon was the best sitter I ever had through Rover. I was very pleased when I met with him ahead of time, during the time he was sitting my dogs and when I came home everything looked as it should - He even brought in my packages for me and set them aside. Great person and a great sitter. Hope to use again -”


12. Emily H.
About: Experienced in overnight and drop-in pet sitting since 2021, I am an animal lover who is happy to care for your beloved furry and feathered friends. I work school hours (8-3:15) in Manhattan on most weekdays, so I am available for drop-ins after work. On weekends, I am often available to drop ins or overnight shifts. I will follow your instructions and your pets’ routines for feedings, playtime, walks, and medication administration if necessary. I prioritize the wellbeing and comfort of your pets as well as your peace of mind that your furry friends are in good hands.


13. Jade G.
“Jade is super responsible and extremely compassionate and caring. She has lots of experience with dogs, and I trust her 100%! Her love for dogs is incredible”


14. Anya G. S.

“Anya was punctual and very kind and caring with our dogs. Ruby is a nervous dog, and Anya adjusted to her needs. Anya was able to safely walk both dogs together. It was the puppy’s longest walk so far! Both dogs liked Anya a lot. I would recommend Anya for your pet care needs.”


15. Jennifer E.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a young girl. As an owner of my own pets, I understand the love and attention they need. I offer the flexibility and loving space needed to cater to any needs of your family pet. I currently work from home Monday through Friday and have the flexibility every day of the week to cater to the needs and schedule of your pet. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly crate trained dogs that can keep your pet company if you want. I also have full access to a home that will enable your pet to have alone time or as much person to pet time as needed.


16. Sergio C.

“Lola was so excited and happy when she came home! Sergio truly has a gift and love for dogs. It shows in every interaction he has with them. I honestly don't trust many people with my fur baby. He is one of the few people I can have over a leash to and not think twice about it. Can't recommend him enough!”


17. Christina O.

“Christina was incredibly sweet, communicative, detail oriented, and super caring towards my Malio. She went above and beyond taking care of my cat and was so excited to do so. I would recommend her to anyone for their pet sitting needs and can’t wait to have her watch my boy again!”




18. Tammy T.

“Tony is very intuitive -- depending on an individual dog's personality, Tony adapts, approaching quieter dogs gently, and playing with more rambunctious dogs just the ways they like to be played with to get their energy out. I've never seen a dog that hasn't taken to Tony instantly -- my lab knows Tony by name and perks up whenever I mention him. He's really the best!”


19. Deb G.

“Deb has been great with Marvin and Rudy. We are so happy that we found a trustworthy person to watch our dogs while we are out. Excited to book Deb again in the future!”


20. Sarah M.

“Sarah is absolutely amazing! Super responsive, excellent at communicating and keeping you updated about your pets and treats them with kindness and care. Would recommend to anyone!”
