About: Animals have been part of my daily life and family for as long as I can remember, shaped by growing up in a household deeply immersed in animal care alongside a veterinary technician brother. Beyond my lifelong background with family pets and caring for my own 5-year-old Dachshund with IVDD, which has made me exceptionally vigilant with medical needs, medication administration, and mobility support, I bring professional, hands-on experience working in 24/7 in-home dog boarding. Because of this, I am thoroughly experienced in caring for dogs across every stage of life, from high-energy puppies needing constant patience to senior dogs requiring gentle handling and tailored routines. I know how to read canine body language, manage diverse care requirements smoothly, and provide a safe, nurturing environment where every guest feels completely at home. Animal care is literally my full-time lifestyle and daily routine. By day, I work full-time in a professional 24/7 in-home dog boarding facility, managing canine routines, feeding, and care around the clock. Outside of work, my entire routine is centered around my pets—including caring for my own 5-year-old Dachshund with IVDD, which requires a vigilant eye, specialized medical attention, and dedicated mobility management. Because my professional and personal life are already completely immersed in round-the-clock animal supervision, your pet will seamlessly integrate into a structured, attentive, and permanently occupied home environment where someone is always present, engaged, and attuned to their needs. Safety, cleanliness, and responsibility are my absolute top priorities. Because I work professionally in 24/7 in-home boarding and manage a dog with specialized medical needs like IVDD, my home is kept impeccably clean, secure, and entirely dog-proofed. I maintain strict routines around feeding, medication schedules, and environmental safety to ensure hazards are completely eliminated. Every guest is closely supervised, given a secure and comfortable space to rest, and treated with meticulous care so pet parents can have total peace of mind knowing their companion is in a safe, hygienic, and responsible hands-on environment.
“Our little guy LOVES Kat!!! She's very sweet, communicative, punctual, and you can definitely tell she really enjoys taking care of and loves animals. She sends us lots of pictures to let us know how he is doing and he always has a HUGE smile on his face. We have used her numerous times will continue to use Kat for upcoming stays and/or visits <3”
“Ana is a am amazing dog walker! She is great with communication, reliability, thoughtfulness, and care. My dog really felt comfortable with her and looked forward to their walks ♥️”
About: I am very active and can handle dogs of all sizes and ages. I have lived with and cared for senior dogs, can handle my brother's rambunctious 3 year old German Shepherd, and haved walked lots of different dogs across NYC. I live minutes from a dog park and my partner is a nurse and dog-lover who is also on Rover and can help handle dogs who need extra assistance. If your dog needs someone to run around with, I am your guy. I am looking to watch or walk dogs on the weekend. I also work from home Thursday and Friday and would love to take care of your pet during my lunch breaks. My girlfriend and I cannot have a pet in our building and looking to fill the dog shaped hole in our hearts. I have a dog play pen in my apartment, but I generally will need to watch your dog at your place. I live minutes away from a dog park on the Upper East side. I have extra dog items as my girlfriend is also a dog walker.
“Jayly was great. Very communicative and took good care of our dog for his walk. Jayly also followed instructions for the dog’s particular feeding needs. We’ll definitely contact him again.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m comfortable administering daily medications, allergy medications, and injections, and I’m familiar with caring for dogs with seizure disorders and the medications they may require. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I’m committed to following your care instructions closely so your pet stays happy, healthy, and comfortable. I’m a lifelong dog lover who was lucky enough to have my own best friend for 16 wonderful years. After losing my dog last year, I’ve really missed having a furry companion, but I’m not able to have one of my own right now. That’s why I’d love the opportunity to care for yours! I’ll treat your dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I like on the first floor near Carl Shurz Park, so as long as you are comfortable we will often take walks around the block and through the park.
About: I have taken care of my dog Yuki since she was a puppy. She has taught me how to be a responsible dog owner. I realize the importance that walking her adds to the value of her life. I am currently about to start a new full time job, however I am available for evening walks or weekend walks and will update my schedule accordingly. I currently care for my pet by keeping a consistent feeding and walking schedule and overall keeping her happy with everything she might need or want. I clean after my dog everyday and hope to do the same for potential clients.
“Su’s first visit with Rolly went swimmingly! He warmed up to her instantly and even greeted her with a toy. She’s punctual and followed all of our instructions, which we so appreciated. We’re happy for her to care for Rolly again!”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also fostered dogs with a wide range of temperaments and behaviors. For every dog I've taken care of, I make sure to adapt to each of their needs, routines, and comfort level. I aim to provide patient, attentive care so every dog feels safe and comfortable. I'm currently working from home so I'll be available to your dog at all times. I usually walk my dog at least 3 times a day. Happy to adjust to whatever your dog may need! I keep a variety of dog toys available for your dog's entertainment, and I have a small/medium-sized crate available if your dog is crate trained or prefers having a quiet space to relax. Generally, I try to follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at home.
About: I’ve had cats since I was 10. I adopted my current cat Snap Pea over 3 years ago, a 5 year old dilute calico FIV+. I’ve frequently volunteered at the cat shelter/adoption center, and I’ve taken care of many friends’ cats and dogs while they were away. I’d love to care for your fur baby too! I work full time during the week, so I can do drop by visits or walks for cats/small dogs before 9am and after 5pm. I’m based in the Astoria, Queens neighborhood. I scoop the litter box 1x per day. I play and cuddle with my cat. I also always take plenty of photos for whoever I cat sit for so their owners know they’re having a fun time! I can also walk small to medium sized dogs.
About: Animals have been part of my life for over 40 years. I have shared my home with many pets, and I've rescued many along the way. On the pet sitting side, I was a pet sitter during my college years and have now spent the last two years regularly watching my niece's dog, so I'm comfortable and consistent with day-to-day care routines. These days I focus on small dogs and cats. I treat every pet with patience and genuine care, and over the years I've built lasting, trusted relationships with veterinarians, so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether it's a drop-in visit, a walk, or overnight care, I'll make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you're away. I'd love to meet you and your pet. Reach out anytime to arrange a meet-and-greet. I work part-time and I'm home by 4pm Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, with full availability on weekends and my other days off, giving me flexible time for visits, walks, and care. At your home, I follow your routines closely and secure doors and gates before leaving. At my home, your pet gets a calm space alongside my own my cats, with attentive, one-on-one care. I also have a fenced in yard.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, and cats, of every size since I was 10 years old. Training puppies is a skill of mine too! I taught my childhood dog how to sit, lay down, and give paw! I live wicked close to Carl Shurz and a short walk from Central Park. I’m a water resources scientist for NYC Parks, so I’m really excited for the opportunity to have a furry friend experience the parks the way I do! I’m a city employee who works from home 3 times a week, so my time is super flexible, especially as I head into the fall! I am available for boarding during the weekends and for extended periods of time if you’re on vacation! Lastly, I’m very active so I would love to take your pet out for walks/ runs/ hikes, etc! I live in an elevator building and super close to Central Park! This is a perfect environment for dogs of all sizes and ages. There are no other pets in the house.

Shirley is AMAZING! She’s so sweet and really attentive to the dogs needs and unique quirks. I’ve never used Rover or any dog walkers because I’ve been hesitant but she eased my anxiety and was communicative, timely, and reassuring. I highly recommend her and would rebook for when I’m off on my next trip! 🫶🏽
This is the 2nd time Mayleth has walked Mochi. She’s so patient and communicative with me by updating me with pictures and keeping Mochi safe even if she gets bursts of energy not knowing her strength as a big puppy herself. But I am confident she will never let Mochi out of her sight and protected from harm. Thank you!!
We’ve had a wonderful experience with CJ! My husband and I recently moved to the LIC area and were looking for a reliable dog walker, and we’re so happy to have found her. She’s incredibly dependable and has been wonderful with our boy. We look forward to continuing to work with her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker!
Jae was amazing with my dog! He walked him every morning before work and again at night for almost a week, and I really appreciated how reliable and consistent he was. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands and getting the attention and exercise he needed. Jae was responsible, communicative, and clearly dedicated to making sure my dog was well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog walker.
