House Sitting in Long Island

Anna is terrific! I was so nervous about making the step to have anyone watch my dogs. I took the chance and glad that I did. Anna met with me and my dogs first prior to her actually taking care of them. I was so impressed with her as a person. Anna is young, but very mature, great with animals, and has a strong work ethic. Anna sat down on the floor and my dogs jumped right in her lap, no hesitation. The best part was when I came home. Instead of them being all freaking out because I'd been gone, they were calm. Happy to see me, but not all frantic. That told me that they had their needs met while I wasn't here. I will recommend Anna to anyone!

Isa provided an overnight stay to watch our two dogs and cat. She did an excellent job and the house was in perfect shape when we returned. Will definitely use again.

Heather was an absolute champ. She handled last-minute Christmas shipping issues on my end with total grace, kept me updated with photos, and was incredibly thorough from the very beginning. She even dealt with a leak in my house while I was away — above and beyond in every sense. I trust her completely, felt my home and pets were in excellent hands, and really appreciated her attention to details like managing the heat to save energy costs. She’s wonderful, reliable, and someone I’d recommend without hesitation.

We needed a petsitter to stay at our house while we were away for 8 days. This was our first trip away from our dogs (rescues adopted in December and January). One dog takes a little while to warm up to new people (and she acts like she might eat them until she gets used to them). The other dog is VERY ENERGETIC and tends to get into trouble if left unsupervised for extended amounts of time. I read through Rover reviews for petsitters who would stay at house and James had excellent reviews even from owners with difficult dogs. We really appreciated him coming to our house not once but twice. for everyone to get more comfortable with each other before our trip. The "slow to warm up to new people" dog adopted James as her new parent and the rambunctious dog was renamed "Crazy" by him. (I think he means it in an endearing way?). Anyway, we were very happy w/ James and all not hesitate to used him again!

Sher was great—she communicated very well, asked detailed questions to make sure she understood our instructions, and really connected with our cat, who is often quite shy. She also sent frequent updates and pictures so we could have peace of mind while we were away. We definitely want to work with Sher in the future!
