About: Dogs have always had a special place in my heart. I grew up in a home full of animals, including a loyal family dog who was truly part of the family. Since then, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels from playful puppies to calm older companions. I believe dogs are often more loyal, honest, and emotionally tuned in than people that’s why I love being around them. I’m active, patient, and reliable, and I take the time to understand each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just quiet company, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away I recently moved to New York, so my schedule is very flexible right now. I’m spending time settling in, exploring the city, and making my new home feel cozy - and having a pup by my side would only make that experience better! I usually have a lot of free time during the week and can easily adjust my day around your dog’s needs, whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship. On weekends, I often take short trips outside the city to spend time in nature - and when I stay in town, I’m happy to spend that time caring for your furry friend. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment in my 1 bedroom apartment in UES, where animals feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs - whether they’re playful and active or prefer quiet time and cuddles.I make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, mental stimulation, and plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I live in a secure, high rise apartment with plenty of natural light and space for pets to lounge, explore, and feel at home. I never leave pets unattended for long and treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own

“Lenin went above and beyond for me. I’m so thankful for his help and service and he even helped clean up some mess and honestly I feel so blessed and I’m sure Ada was too. He was very caring and helpful. 1000% recommend Lenin he is amazing and very understanding.”
“David is so great! He really took the time to meet and make Sonny feel comfortable during our consultation. Our first walk could not have gone better. Looking forward to booking David again for future visits.”
About: I truly love dogs and understand how hard it is to leave them alone. I'll give your pup care,affection,and companionships like family. Always with love. I had dogs since i was 8 years old and my parents at the moment have 13 dogs on their care, plus we help street dogs in my home country. I got my love for animal from them. Thats why I always dream to work with Rover so I can help to give some comfort to furry babies. I'm a personal trainer so I have a really flexible schedule. I spent more of the time at home so pet care fits perfectly on. I provide loving safe care with walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles and updates. Whether at my home or yours. Each pet gets personalized attention, comfort and affection.
“Joy has been absolutely wonderful with Dory! From the very beginning, she was kind, reliable, and attentive to Dory’s needs. Dory can get a little too excited when meeting new people, but Joy handled it with so much patience and care. I really appreciate the detailed updates after each walk and how she always goes the extra mile, like wiping Dory down and managing her excitement pee thoughtfully. It’s clear Joy truly loves dogs, and I feel completely at ease knowing Dory is in such good hands. Highly recommend her!”
“Paula is such a reliable walker! She is always on time and Polly is is so excited to see her so I know they have fun on their walks. She knows Polly loves to be pet so she takes time out of the walk to make sure she gets plenty of attention.”
“Karalyn is a doll ! Great response time too . This is the first time I have left my dog ( whistle) alone. Karalyn came 2 days before to meet whistle. I was instantly at ease as soon a I met Karalyn! She texted me pictures and keep me week aware of what was going on !”
About: IMPORTANT: Thursday house-sits start in the evening! As you might have seen on your TikTok, I grew up in Turkey, a country with streets that are home to many strays. This has helped me assess different personalities and tailor unique care for each dog. I am excited to get to know your 🐶! PS: I am a pet lover of all species. I have owned birds and rodents, even jumping spiders and mantises! I can give excellent care to your other furry, feathery or scaly friends. I am home on Wednesdays and Fridays, and weekends as needed. On other days, I am available to walk your dog in the evenings! Let me know what works. I don’t have any pets at home! So your pet will have my undivided attention. Depending on each pet’s needs, we can discuss specific arrangements during the stay.

“It was my first time hiring a dog walker for Fuji and I must admit, I was very nervous. However, Marissa was phenomenal, I can’t recommend her enough.

About: I have had cared for dogs for several years. Now, I currently have my doggie for almost 5 years along with a lovely cat. They’re great friends and partners in crime. I love pups of all ages and like to take my time to get to know them. I have a work from home situation that allows for flexibility during the day. Some weekends and evenings can also work along with the occasional holidays. I love animals and would take care for your pet as they were my own. I have a dog and cat who are very friendly along with a backyard fenced in space.

“Fariha has been an absolute pleasure to work with. You can tell she actually cares, and is very professional. I was a little apprehensive at first about using rover, but those fears were put to ease right away. Highly recommend.”
“Julia was amazing! On extremely short notice she was able to help get my dog walked where I could not due to a broken leg- I told her she didn’t need to do a full 30 minutes but she did anyways and my dog is pooped- literally and figuratively! She had a great tome with Julia and my dog is very difficult to walk with leash reactivity to many things- I am so thankful for Julia today and will be using her again for sure!!!”
“Mikka is wonderful with Archie. He is still a pup and is nervous around new people, but Mikka was able to get him to relax enough and play a little on their first walk.”

Maria M.
“I cannot say enough good things about Maria — she is truly the best pet sitter we’ve ever had! From the very first time she watched our pets, it was clear how much she genuinely cares for animals. She’s responsible, attentive, and always goes the extra mile to make sure our furry family members are safe, happy, and loved while we’re away. We always come home to calm, well-cared-for pets (and sometimes cleaner than we left the house!). Knowing Maria is with them gives us total peace of mind. She’s not just a pet sitter — she’s part of the family.”

Nilsu D.
“Nilsu is an animal lover who has had pets since she was a little girl. Not only does she get along well with dogs, but she also interacts very well with cats. There are many animal lovers, of course, but when it comes to trusting someone, Nilsu is very responsible and also a very empathetic person. She is someone who always fulfills her duties, whether related to animals or not, with great dedication. She is warm-hearted, affectionate, and has strong communication skills. Additionally, I believe she would like to become pet sitter or dog walker not only for the money but also because she loves animals so much. She has regular job and this is another responsibility but as she loves them so much, she expressed interest for this opportunity. Once you entrust your pet to Nilsu, you wouldn't want to trust anyone else.”
