Top rated Yorkville house sitters
“Carson was very patient with me as I sorted out my schedule. She came highly recommended from the references she provided. She cared for my elderly dog, Penny, including administering a complicated regimen of medication. I would hire her again!”
“Lenin is very professional, followed instructions to a tee, and let us enjoy our vacation in peace knowing our animals were being loved and cared for. Would definitely recommend and will be using again.”
“We always get anxious when getting a new sitter for our 15 year old senior pup Kimbap. Because he’s old, he needs a sitter who is patient and understanding on senior pups’ needs. Caroline is that sitter, she is patient and knows how to take care of a senior pup. We felt very relaxed and at ease that Kimbap is in good hands because Caroline provided photos and videos of Kimbap’s activities! Will definitely book Caroline again! So glad we found her! Thank you, Caroline!”
“Bucket loved her, as did we, and she left the place very clean. She was super responsive and sent lots of great photos. Definitely a go-to sitter!”
“Once again Adolfo took excellent care of my dog. He noticed he was acting unusually and sent video right away for me to assess the situation. Thank you again Adolfo for caring for Hendrix.”
“Grace did an amazing job house sitting for both Luna and Cow. We were able to book her on short notice and she was open to meeting prior. She was attentive, provided regular updates and asked questions if she wasn’t sure of something. She was on time and did everything we asked. We would definitely book her again.”
“Mahlet is incredible. Our cat loves her and is endlessly loved and stimulated when under her care. When we were stranded in Florida for two days, Mahlet was able to stop by to play with and feed our cat without issue. We love Mahlet!”
“Katrina was absolutely amazing! I had a very last minute weekend trip and she was very accommodating and came to house sit and watch our dog, Pete. She was very kind and asked such great questions in regards to taking the best care of him and sent us lots of great pictures and updated. Katrina made Pete feel so comfortable and it looked like they had an awesome weekend together! Pete loved her the minute she walked in the door and was definitely a little bummed when she had to leave. Overall, if you are looking for someone to take the best care of your fur baby and home - Katrina is 100% the way to go. She went above and beyond to always have Pete’s best interest in mind and our house was spotless when we returned! I hope to book with her again!”
“Our dog is also named Sadie, so I'll try not to make this review too confusing. Sadie (the human) seems to have taken great care of Sadie (the dog) while my wife and I were on our honeymoon. We returned to our happy and healthy pup as usual. Sadie (the human) sent pictures every day or two, enough to put our minds at ease but not so frequently as to overwhelm us while on vacation. We returned to a clean, tidy home as well.”
“I feel very comfortable and at ease when Maija dog sits my french bulldog. She is also great with communication and sending pics/updates! Definitely recommend!”
“Madeline was absolutely amazing! Best dog sitter I’ve had since losing my last go-to person. She made me feel so safe and comfortable while I was away, which means everything. She went above and beyond for my poochie and treated her with such care and love. Truly grateful.”
“I am so glad we found TJ and cannot recommend him highly enough. We have an old lab and I was extremely nervous about leaving her, but TJ was fantastic. I felt like he took care of her as though she was his own, was communicative and very respectful of our home. TJ is the best!”
“Stephanie house sat and took care of my cat for a week while I was on vacation. I was really worried about leaving him for so long, but Stephanie did an amazing job and I came home to a very happy cat! She's great at following instructions and giving regular updates. She also left my home nice and tidy which I really appreciated! Thanks, Stephanie!”
“Fatima was absolutely amazing! She houses at our golden retriever Willow for ten days and was absolutely fabulous. She was responsive, sent several daily updates, and made sure that she had daily walks/outings. She really cares about the animals she cares for and it truly shows. She took amazing care of our apartment as well! We will definitely be rebooking her in the future!”
“Fariha watched my 2 schnauzers for a week while I was away on vacation. She consistently sent me photos of my babies and updates. She is reliable and trustworthy! Would recommend Fariha to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Asha was a LOVELY sitter!! she booked super last minute and was incredibly accommodating to my lovely baby boy. sent plenty of pictures and videos and was incredibly responsive with updates. will definitely book again!”

Yorkville pet parents share their Rover experiences
Thanks for taking care of Bagel and Roz, the place looked great and we truly appreciate your flexibility when our flight got canceled. Thank you!
Christine recently dog-sat my pup, Bolaño, for a full week, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Bolaño is the friendliest dog anyone has ever met—he absolutely loves people—so it’s important to me that he’s with someone who embraces that energy. Christine immediately connected with him and made sure he felt loved, engaged, and comfortable from the start. Even before the stay began, Christine was proactive in communicating what would be necessary to care for Bolano. She asked thoughtful questions, made sure she had all the details she needed, and gave me full confidence that he’d be in good hands. Throughout the week, she was also quick to respond whenever I reached out. When I returned, Bolano was happy, healthy, and clearly had a great time. It was obvious he’d been well cared for. I recommend Christine to anyone looking for a warm, reliable, and communicative dog sitter. She treated Bolano like one of her own, and I’d gladly work with her again
Rio was great! She’s super responsive, sent pictures of Tiger every day, and left our apartment clean when we got back from our two week trip. Would highly recommend!
This was my first time having someone stay over at my house with my dog while I was out of town, and Neeha did an incredible job. My dog caught a cold right before I left so naturally I was worried, but Neeha was super communicative with me the entire time, giving me updates on his symptoms, his energy level, and his appetite. It was reassuring to know that he was in good hands while I was out of town and I am very grateful to have had that peace of mind!
Lauren was great, took such good care of caramel and was easy to communicate with - highly recommend!
Amanda was so incredible with all my pets. I got so many pictures and updates from her and everyone was so happy when I got home. She left my apartment in perfect condition and and I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
So glad I asked Luca for his service. My 3 dogs can be handful but I was comfortable leaving them to him knowing that he is very knowledgeable and has plenty experience with animals! I could tell he’s so sweet with my babies and they all adored him. He was good at keeping me updated on their activities and pictures. My place was kept very clean and neat. 100% recommended! Hope to have him back again :)
It gets no better than Marcel! He’s dependable communicative and honest. I’m a stickler re: cleanliness and he maintained the cleanliness in my place without exception. Snoop was always on long walks to his favorite places (as demonstrated in the daily photos). Marcel is a South African gem that we NYers are lucky to have. I highly recommend him!
Sadie was incredible and so reliable on such short notice. Incredibly responsive and Piglette seemed to have a fantastic time with her. Definitely would rebook again!
Lenin was great with our dog and regularly updating with information, photos and videos. Highly recommend!
Amelia was absolutely wonderful with Luli. From the beginning, she was kind, attentive, and super easy to communicate with. Luli can be a little reserved around new people, but she warmed up to Amelia almost right away. Amelia sent thoughtful updates, photos, and videos. It was clear she wasn’t just doing the basics but was actually spending quality time with Luli, making sure she was comfortable, well-fed, and had her usual little routines. I came home and Luli was relaxed and happy and the apartment was clean. I’Il definitely be reaching out to Amelia again next time I’m away. Highly, highly recommend!!
This was our second time Amelia house sat for our dog. She is attentive, professional, and extremely conscience when watching our pug. She is easy to get in touch with and has a positive attitude. She is a very clean house guest. We would continue to book her for our overnight travels!
Abby did a wonderful job looking after my two rather sensitive felines. My cat Colette, in particular, has become a very finicky eater and I was so appreciative of Abby’s patience and care. My kitties are already looking forward to having Abby come to stay again this fall.
Jess is so amazing with my dog and sends so many great updates making me feel less guilty leaving him for trips. I think he looks forward to my vacations now so he can have more 1:1 time with Jess!
Asha was a LOVELY sitter!! she booked super last minute and was incredibly accommodating to my lovely baby boy. sent plenty of pictures and videos and was incredibly responsive with updates. will definitely book again!
Jacob watched my blind senior pitbull, who is not always the easiest, at our place over an extended weekend and even carried her up stairs on occasion. He was very communicative, giving us the opportunity to explain her behavior. I would trust him with any dog and be happy to have him stay with her again.
Asael is a fantastic cat sitter! He’s a great communicator and took excellent care of my cat Zuzu-he’s a real cat whisperer. I came home to a very clean apartment and a very happy cat. He’s the best! I highly recommend Asael :)
Another great experience with Emily! She was super communicative - and flexible when we almost had to change plans at the last minute. Thanks Emily!
Stephanie house sat and took care of my cat for a week while I was on vacation. I was really worried about leaving him for so long, but Stephanie did an amazing job and I came home to a very happy cat! She's great at following instructions and giving regular updates. She also left my home nice and tidy which I really appreciated! Thanks, Stephanie!
Sophie watched my pup for a long weekend at my place, she was so sweet and my puppy absolutely loved her. He literally tried to follow her out the door when she left! Even my neighbor said she was really nice! Sophie was prompt and followed his schedule. I also got great updates and photos throughout the day. You can tell she loves animals, I was so happy she agreed to watch my baby!
