“Tara was terrific! Super fast communication, on-time, followed instructions down to every last detail, and was very attentive to our pup. I’d recommend Tara to anybody, and we will absolutely use her again in the future.”
“Sebastian was absolutely fantastic, and we plan to book him again. We’ve had many cat sitters, but he was the only one who actually played with our kitties and spent extra time with them. Sebastian was very communicative and went the extra mile. Highly recommend!”
“Candice was very thorough in her cards she left me of her and Coby! Coby is a cat who loves affection and love so I’m happy she was able to come in and take care of him!”
“Jillian is an excellent pet-sitter. While watching my cat she sent photos and updates each day and was thoughtful and communicative about things like litter box habits and opening and closing windows based on the weather. Would definitely book her again.”
About: My Fiancé and I have had dogs throughout our lives. I grew up with two Yellow Labrador Retrievers and She had a Lhasa Apso Poodle Mix and a Mini Golden Doodle. Since I have a remote job, I began pet sitting for family and friends' dogs when they would take extended trips. I always keep a variety of dog toys and treats for when the time comes. I'm patient, gentle, and loving and will treat your dog as if they were my own. I love to exercise and take dogs on walks through the park. My Fiancé and I both have remote jobs. One of us will always be free Monday-Friday at any time. We can do Morning, Afternoon or Night walks. I have a car for transportation if needed. I live in a spacious apartment that accommodates any sized bed or crate. I also have a large L-shaped couch that is pet-friendly. We have tennis balls, stuffed toys, and treats for your dog. We have family in the area with two dogs who are always willing to set up a play date if your dog is looking for a friend.
About: I've had a pet dog since I was in fourth grade. I have experience with walking and feeding him. I also have experience cat sitting. I took care of my neighbors cat a few times last summer (cleaned out litter box, fed him, played with him) and have taken care of cats near my apartment on the upper east side this fall and winter. I have experience giving medicine and food to cats, cleaning litter box, as well as keeping the cat entertained. I am a senior in college at Temple University but I live on the Upper East Side when I’m on breaks. I’ve had a dog since I was in elementary school and have done a lot of cat sitting in the city. I will cater to their needs but also follow directions from their owners. I will play with them, feed them when they need to be fed, and walk them as requested.
About: Hello! My name is Laynie. I have been a pet lover for my whole life and grew up with three pit bulls that my family raised from puppies to adults. I spent my summers dog sitting my neighbor’s four small dogs while they went out of town. Since moving to New York, my friends and clients have relied on me to care for their dogs and cats. This includes visiting their homes frequently to care for their pets. Everything from taking them on walks, feeding them, making sure they’re in good company, and occasionally administering medication. The pets I have watched range in breed, age, and size – from a 15-year-old Chihuahua to a young Great Pyrenees, as well as various cats of different breeds and temperaments. There is no pet that I have not been able to provide exceptional love and care for! I am trustworthy, responsible, and more than capable of taking on any task! I currently have a very open and flexible schedule! I am fully available mornings, nights, and afternoons Monday through Sunday! Whenever you need me, I can be there! I make sure that dogs that I am looking after are fed, taken outside/on walks, and given any necessary medications at the hours they are used to. I follow instructions from pet owners about their animals carefully so that they feel comfortable and just as loved as they do by their owners!

About: I've taken in family pets whenver necessary and loved them all from Raffie to Blitz. I have been active with PAWS for the past 8 years, helping senior and disabled folks maintain relationships with their pets by providing dog walking and boarding when required. I am currently retired, but do volunteer work for several cultural institutions and local senior centers. i am never away for more than 4 hours per day. I try to duplicate the pet's home environment and schedule as close as possible to minimize any stress. I have experience with adult and senior dogs and have no trouble administering oral meds.
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.
“Paula is so amazing! She has really helped give me a piece of mind when I need to travel and leave my elderly cat. She always sends videos & pictures and is very responsive!”
“Lynn did a great job taking care of our senior cat, including asthma inhaler and pills with food. Our cat clearly loved her, with most of the photos and videos showing him asleep in her lap (can’t say we weren’t jealous about that, though 😂).”
“Sara did a fantastic job watching our cats while we were away for a week. She was highly attentive, caring, and communicative. I strongly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve been around pets all my life; our family currently is home to two cats, as we just lost our beloved boxer dog. We have been fortunate enough to love many animals over the years and create a safe and loving environment for many furry friends. I am available for drop in services for both cats and dogs, as well as dog walking at this time! I am fortunate to be fully working from home most days, so please reach out— if you let me know your schedule, we can see what works best for you and your loved ones!

About: - [ ] I’ve cared for three dogs—an older Golden Retriever, a 2-year-old Yorkie, and my American Pit Bull Terrier. Each one has taught me a lot about their behaviors and personalities. While I don’t have tons of experience, I’m eager to form deeper connections with both dogs and cats, and I look forward to gaining a better understanding of what our furry companions truly wants and need. I'm a high school student with some free time, and I’d love to spend it walking and taking care of dogs and cats. I'm really passionate about animals and excited to give them the attention and exercise they need while also learning more about their care. On top of that, I love photography and would enjoy capturing some awesome moments with the pets I look after. I live at the back of the building, so you'd need to go through the basement to reach my place. It's fenced in on both sides, so there's no need to worry about anything. Plus, I have plenty of space for a fun play day!

“I have know Dean for many years!!! When I first met her she had a lovely cat of her own and cared so lovingly for it!! The minute she sat down her pussycat jumped up on her lap and snuggled!! After her cat passed away she started taking care of dogs through PAWS. She boarded and/or walked them. At one point she was boarding a dog whose owner was in rehab. Sadly the owner died and Dean adopted the little West Highland dog. The dog was not young and sadly passed away as well. Dean grieved for that sweet creature!!! She has a very special feel for dogs in general. Having been out on the street with her, she responds to every dog we pass!! I can recommend Dean most heartily. She is the most caring person I know!!”
