“I had a fantastic experience with Melissa! She was absolutely excellent—she played with my puppy, cleaned up after him, and kept me updated with regular screenshots and messages. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. She's incredibly reliable, friendly, and clearly loves animals. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”


“Lucy is so sweet, and responsible! Highly recommend. This was our first time retaining a pet sitter and I was very nervous. She made me feel at ease and our kitty was happy <3”


“Lee Ann did an amazing job caring for my cat Milo! She was responsive, reliable, and enjoyed spending time with him while I was away. She truly cares for animals and will make sure they are well taken care of while you’re gone. 100% recommend her as a sitter!”

“This was my first time using Rover and I could not have asked for a better experience. Ismail was very communicative before, throughout, and after the booking which helped with my nerves. Onion immediately took to Ismail which is a testament to his positive energy. Would recommend Ismail for any cat sitting needs!”



“Wendy comes and checks in on my 3 every weekend while I work. A couple of them give her a hard time, but she is winning them over. It is such peace of mind knowing they have the opportunity to break up their long day and go outside and have human contact.”



“Kate was super conscientious about communication and sending pix/updates. from her daily videos I could see she was very kind and comforting towards my car which I was grateful for! I had the greatest confidence that she was taking good care of him.”

About: What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each pet’s personality and needs while making them feel comfortable and cared for. For example, I regularly walk an energetic, playful puppy who needs both stimulation and calm guidance. I’m able to give him the attention he craves while helping him release his energy in a positive way. I’ve also walked a dog who typically never poops during the day, but after spending time with me, she felt relaxed and comfortable enough to start doing so on our walks, a small but meaningful sign of trust. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, a shy senior, or a pet with unique habits, I focus on building trust, understanding their needs, and making every walk or visit safe, enjoyable, and tailored to them. I have a flexible schedule, with daily openings outside my mid-day walks. I’m available for pet care in the mornings, early afternoons, and some evenings each week. I care for every dog as if they were my own, making sure each walk is safe, enjoyable, and tailored to their needs. I follow your instructions closely, whether that’s a favorite route, specific pace, or special commands. Along the way, I give plenty of attention, play, and positive reinforcement so your dog comes home happy, exercised, and relaxed.

About: I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry loved one in someone else’s care. With years of experience caring for others’ pets, I treat every animal like my own. I’m patient, intuitive, and genuinely love getting to know their unique personalities. I work from home, which means I’m around all day for walks, feedings, playtime, and spontaneous cuddle breaks. My schedule is flexible, so your pet’s needs set the pace. My home is clean, calm, and full of natural light with spacious open rooms - perfect for curious paws to explore or stretch out for a nap. I make sure every pet feels safe, seen, and part of the family. With plenty of cozy corners and dedicated time for walks or play, your pet will feel right at home.

“Zoe was a great Rover! She walked and checked in on my dogs twice a day while I was gone. She was always prompt and shared photos for each drop-in. Would recommend her services!”


About: I’ve owned 2 Golden Retrievers in the past 4 years, they are my favorite dog breed. I have a bit of an obsession with them to be honest; but i do still have love for all dogs breeds! I currently have my 3 year old best friend Golden named Milo. He is full of energy and wants to play all day long, so I am used to having my life taken over by an attention hog 😅 I recently found out he has a serious heart condition and he is on a lot of medication, so I am capable and willing to provide care to your pet if need be by administering them their own medication. It is heart breaking for me to see my pup in such a tough situation even though he shows minimal signs of pain, so I like to have him around dogs and humans to feel happy, so you can expect milo to join us on our walks from time to time (if it’s ok with you and your pet ofcourse!) Please feel free to reach out with any questions before booking some time with me 😊 Chat soon! I am free in the evenings and weekends. I no longer work from home but, I am able to take a day from home if there’s a specific day and time for your pets needs during the week. I have a fenced yard if your pet was to spend the day with Milo and I. I am also very vigilant of my surroundings, so your pet will not be in harms way. My eyes will be on them at all times as I do with my own pup whether at home or outside.

About: I’ve taken care of puppies and dogs practically my whole life. From walking shelter dogs for school community service to watching after friends and family pets while they’re away, I have walked/fed/bathed all sorts loving boys and girls. I’ve also fostered puppies before they went off to their forever homes. I have experience in all types of care. I work from home on a pretty flexible schedule so I am able to walk your pet at any time of day or night and can board all throughout the week as long as I have notice. I like to take care of pets as if they’re my own and part of the family. Walks, fetch, snuggles, you name it. I have bowls and a crate available within my own home and capable of following any diet and/or exercise needs instructed by an owner.

About: I'm a cat sitter with tons of experience helping stressed-out cats settle in after a move. No matter what the cat is, I can connect with them. Whether they’re super independent and like their space or total lovebugs who want all the cuddles and playtime — I vibe with all kinds of cat personalities. I work from home, so I’m around most of the time and can easily keep an eye on my little visitor, take care of his needs, and give him attention whenever he needs it. I don’t have any pets right now, but I want to. I live on the third floor in a spacious apartment with secure, mesh-covered windows — totally safe for cats.

“Lisa is so lovely - I love knowing a fellow cat mom is taking care of my buddy. She gave him great company and did a wonderful job of cleaning up after my cat to make it easier for me! Fantastic photos and communication.”


About: Ive been around dogs since I was young. I have a 12 year old border collie back in Ireland . Have worked in NYC over the last few years with my best friend who owns his own dog-walking company. I am a musician who plays gigs around the city , my schedule has set days and set time off so should be easy to find regular times every week. I live alone in a one bedroom apartment that is one block from owls head park. I am also very close to the shore road promenade. I love sports and love exercise and I am very active. I also love animals and will make sure they are happy every time.
