“I am beyond grateful for Alison’s exceptional care of my dog. Not only did they provide all the basics—feeding, walks, and playtime—but they went the extra mile to make sure my dog was safe during a snowstorm. She was incredibly. It was evident that Alison thought about my dog and when above and beyond and truly cares about animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, thank you for your kindness and dedication!”

About: Early 40’s year old sitter/walker with car. You could say I have 40+ years of experience. My family had a German Shepherd from before I was born and I was very close to her. There has been a stream of pets in my family. Including so so so many cats in NYC. Even going so far as to “rescue” a half feral one. Currently, I share ownership of a dog. As a small business owner of over 10 years, I am able to have a flexible schedule and spend more time hanging out with your pet(s). That said, I have a lot of experience managing other people, and I do have high expectations for clear communication from clients. I have never had a complaint from clients that already have human children. I am very clear about the kind of care I offer. For example, I clearly state I can do 4-8 hrs for letting out. That does not mean that when I get to the sit, you tell me you expect every hour. I also do not cancel other bookings so that you can be the sole client. I have been through that, obliged, and the client was still dissatisfied. I am running a business and the new owner of this app runs on harsh algorithms that hide you in search. Let’s try to be better and more human, than conforming to private equity and their bottom line. For the fur babies, I can follow their diet and pet or play or brush their hair. As long as you give me a list or schedule, I'll do my best to provide it. I have extensive experience with pets at all stages of life. (As well as other kinds of pets which I am open to caring for.) I understand the care required for a wide variety of needs and can do my best to provide reinforcement on current training, but I am not going to be attuned right off the jump to the nuances noticed by your trainer or you... I can reinforce sit, lay down, paw, stay, heel, rollover, or anything else. I can administer medicine. I am not formally trained in pet CPR, but I am trained in human CPR and have looked at videos for pet CPR. When I was younger I worked as a lifeguard, and have a remarkable natural ability to stay calm and act fast in crisis situations. This comes in handy, for example: when protecting my maltipoo from other dogs, managing territorial behavior, or keeping one dog out of another dog’s bowl. My schedule is flexible and I have a car. I have a small business and partial responsibility of my dog, so I do need to be able to run errands, go to meetings, or check in at home to keep that part of my life running. For extended care, and distance further than 5 miles, I prefer be given the option to stay over at clients for the sake of gas costs, time, and energy. First meeting and approach are important to setting a precedent, I first see if the pet will approach me. I like to offer my hand palm down for them to smell. Sometimes it takes a few times smelling the hand before they feel comfortable letting me pet them. In my opinion it’s important not to mess up first impressions with the pet. Spending time together builds familiarity bonds, being attentive builds trust. It’s important to build rapport.

“I have use Katrina every time I go out of town. She is the best with my cats and takes the most adorable pictures leaving me able to relax because I can rest assured that they are in good hands”

“Courtney was super great and put me at ease while away from my cats! She listened and followed all my instructions carefully and her communication was great. Highly recommend her!”

About: While I'm fairly new to pet-sitting, I am experienced with both dogs and cats. I became accustomed to caring for dogs when my family welcomed our poodle, Rosie, to our home back in 2020. Everything there is to know about caring for dogs, I am very familiar with! I have also done a handful of kitty check-ins for a friend over the past year, consisting of playtime and plenty of petting. I am so thrilled to get started on Rover! I currently work part-time in healthcare 4 days a week until 1:30pm, so I am available every afternoon, evening, and some mornings for pet care. This also applies to weekends as well! When walking dogs, I make sure to keep an eye out for our surroundings, whether that be nearby people, other dogs, or potentially harmful plants. While I do allow the dog I'm caring for to explore, I also know to keep a short leash when the situation warrants it. As for pet check-ins, I am very respectful of the home I'm being welcomed into. My number one priority is caring for your pet, so I am careful to clean up after them if any accidents happen.

“Thank you for your communication during the process. It made me feel a lot better. It is the first time I have left Dexter and I am very grateful for your help!”

“Kelsey did a great job looking after my cat. She was punctual and took excellent care of him, providing updates and sending me pictures. I could tell that he was happy and comfortable in her care, and she went above & beyond to make sure all of his needs were met. I would highly recommend Kelsey to anyone looking for a reliable and caring individual.”
