1. Carolyn A.
“Carolyn was great! She loved Oppy, sent pictures of her playing with him daily, and he was happy as could be when I came back! She was also very flexible and understanding with the timing of when to come see Oppy and some confusion due to me having old kitten food still out. I really appreciate her communicativeness and understanding as I guided her to the correct food to use. Would definitely recommend as a cat sitter!”
2. Christina C.
“Christina was great. We came up for a weekend and stayed at a hotel and she was able to help take care of our dog from the hotel. She communicated very well and was very punctual. We would definitely use her again on another trip to the city.”
3. Jessica H.
“Jessica is amazing and our boys absolutely love her! She is very professional and communicative when watching our home and dogs. She is highly recommend!”
4. Ella L.
“Ella is the biggest dog lover I have ever met. She owns two corgis and holds them on the highest pedestal any living thing can stand on. On top of her love for pets, she is extremely responsible and disciplined. Both at school in NYU, and with her dogs back home, Ella never fails to accomplish her daily goals. There is truly nobody I would rather have walk my dog.”
5. Victoria S.
“Victoria is awesome with my dog Toby! He loves the extra (and long!) walks he gets with her. She’s great about sending lots of picture updates and setting up Toby’s meals which require some extra steps since he’s a picky eater.”
6. Brooke B.
“Awesome, as always! Thanks again!”
7. Emma F.

8. Noam S.
“Thank you so much!”
9. Steven P.
“Steven was excellent as always, that’s why we came back to him for checking in on our puppy. He is very attentive, communicative, provides the best updates, and very reliable. We always contact Steven whenever we need assistance with our puppy. Thank you so much!”
10. Elizabeth S.
“Elizabeth was great to work with! She fed our two cats while we were away and did a great job. We met her before we went away and she was nice and friendly. She sent us pictures each visit. We’d absolutely have her watch our cats again!”
11. Elaine F.
“I highly recommend Elaine and I have referred her to all of my friends with dogs. She takes such good care of my dog and I fully trust her in my apartment. Thank you for all your help, Elaine!”
12. Annie C.
“Annie is the best person I could ever ask for to watch my cat when I’m gone. She’s super experienced with cats and particularly FIV+ cats which reassured me. Not only would she go above and beyond with food, water, and litter maintenance, but she spent time cuddling and playing with my cat as if he were her own. 100000% recommend her for your cat”
13. Julia B.
“Julia is my roommate and has a 6 year old dog who she’s raised since he was a puppy. She loves all animals and is extremely responsible. She is very reliable and you never have to worry about communicating with her and trusting that your pet is safe with her. I am a long time Rover sitter myself and would absolutely recommend Julia to others if I ever couldn’t take a booking.”

“When taking care of our cat over the week, Ciera is very patient and loving and very willing to take care of unexpected problems. She sends updates and pictures regularly and help takes out the trash bag. Big thanks!”

16. Victoria K.
“Victoria was amazing. I have to leave town for two weeks and having her taking care of my dog and my cat gave me peace of mind. She was very communicative and attentive to my babies. Thank you so much for everything!”
17. Kaitlyn M.
“Kaitlyn was so amazing with my kitties!! I would consider myself a fairly concerned pet parent and I always worry about my babies when I’m away, but Kaitlyn made me feel soo much better. She is extremely kind and conscientious and gives very detailed notes and photos! It is clear that she is very thoughtful in her visits and a true animal lover! Thank you!!”
18. Yimiao L.
“Yimiao took great care of my cats while I was away! This was my first time having a car sitter and she put all my anxiety to rest by sending pictures and updates about how they were doing. She even came by before the appointment and I walked through their routine and favorite toys, hiding places, etc. while she was picking up keys.”
19. Nyla S.
About: I own a chocolate lab i’ve raised him since he was a puppy he’s now 2 years old and is a very good boy but at the end of the day he’s still a silly lab. I’m a student so I have a lot of free time in between classes and on the weekends to walk/ care for your dog 🐕 I’m very gentle and will take your dog on long walks, play with them all day nap with them and do anything you want me to do with them!
20. Jess M.
“My daughter Jessica has always been great with our two family dogs since she was a teenager. She was responsible for feeding them, walking them , grooming and of course playing with them. The dogs loved her. More recently, Jessica has taken care of my senior Corgi mix when we were traveling. She was very patient and loving with her too!”
