“Cassidy is a dream come true! I needed a special person to help watch my Zoey while I’m away and Cassidy was the perfect choice. Zoey can’t wait to see you again!”

About: Hello! My name is Julissa. I have so much love for all pets and animals. Growing up, i’ve always had a dog in the house, and they were always such an important member of our family. It’s been about five years since I’ve had a dog of my own. My last dog’s name was Sasha. We adopted her when she was six and had her until she was about thirteen. She was so smart, loving, and anxious when we first got her so our first few years together were spent establishing trust. Eventually we managed to off-leash train and we worked a lot on her recall so that we could enjoy longer walks and outdoor activities while ensuring that she always felt safe in her environment. At home we set her bed up in the kitchen, where we would pass our time cooking and spending a lot of quality time together. I had so many good years with my Sasha, and since she passed I have genuinely missed spending time with animals on a consistent basis. Since then, most if not all of my friends and family have entrusted me with taking care of their animals when they are busy or traveling, so I’ve had a lot of experience with many different pets and their varying needs/personalities. I work freelance as an artist. I am a musician, so I often stay at home practicing or composing. However most of my work is in the film industry, and this work ranges from smaller independent projects to network television. Although I do work on set sometimes, I try to take on as many post-production gigs as possible, so I often find myself sitting behind a desk all day. I have always made it a priority to work in a field that I am passionate about, and my decision to work with Rover has been no different. Caring for animals is not only something I am passionate about, but also a wonderful opportunity to go on walks and spend quality time with pets. I will always be very clear about any changes in my work schedule if those are to arise, but my reliability and dedication never wavers I have a fenced in yard and plenty of spaces in the house for your pet to wander and feel comfortable. I am also very trust worthy, organized, communicative, and extremely eager to work with you!

“Cynthia was amazing with my cats! She watched them once a few months back, and when she came to watch them for us while we were getting married, my cats immediately recognized her and ran right up to her. You can tell she really takes care of the pets she cares for and they feel safe and happy around her!”

“Michelle was a wonderful guardian for Asher while we were away on vacation. Her videos and photos gave us a lot of reassurance for our first time leaving him home over an extended period. We are so appreciative of all the work she puts in!”

“Dorothy was great—she helped bring in all our packages and even offered to water the plants! She was communicative and took good care of our cats!”

Lily K.

“Hemei did a great job taking care of our cat. She did everything we asked and was very communicative. We felt very comfortable being away with our cat in her care and would definitely book her again.”

“She followed directions and walked Gizmo as if he were her own.”

About: My name is Jonathan and I am currently 30 years old, working full-time as a dog sitter and remote product designer and living in Great Neck, NY. I currently have a 8 year old golden retriever! I have always loved dogs as I grew up with a Maltese when I was in kindergarten before getting my golden. I'm also very good at training through positive reinforcement and handling medium to large breeds. I also have experience taking care of multiple dogs at the same time. Lastly, I can easily tell when dogs are in trouble or need to use the bathroom,etc. My schedule is extremely flexible so I can accommodate most requests! I wake up at 9am everyday to let my dog out for a morning potty break. We then go for a walk at noon, one at 6pm, and one more at 10pm before bed. I have a fenced in yard that is locked at all times. I will be present in the backyard anytime the dogs are there and will keep an eye on them while they play. I will be home 24/7 while your dog is with me, and will be monitored at all times.

About: I have owned animals my whole life and cared for them. I attended an animal science program for two years where I cared for dogs of all sizes and ages. My duties included walking, feeding, bathing, nail and fur trimming, and cleaning kennels. I have also pet sat for friends and family for 4 years taking care of both cats and dogs. I am currently a full time student but I do a mix of in person and virtual classes and take a light course load so I have plenty of time to fit pet care into my schedule. I can easily crate pets if needed, I am good at calming down animals in distress. I can also administer medication and follow special diets as needed.

About: Hi there, my name is Christina 👋🏻 I am currently a full time dog walker and have been for the past 3 years now. I’ve had a love for dogs since I was 13 when my mom finally agreed to get our very first dog. Ever since then I’ve been the go to care taker for him between my mom and I. I even help my aunt on the weekends with her furry pets when we visit. Currently it’s been 3 years of being a full time dog caretaker and I’m loving every minute of it! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member 😊❤️ I'm currently working full-time taking care of my lovely pup clients, so all my time is dedicated to your fur baby! I'm available for boarding, daycare and dog walking as well :) Our home is entirely open for your pup to explore and relax in. We are a clean and smoke-free household. Your pup will receive plenty of playtime and love. In addition to a minimum of 3 walks per day. Daily photos and video updates will be sent. I promise you plenty of them! Depending on the time of year, I do board multiple dogs at once.

“Garrett is hands down the best person to trust with your pet. We left our 7 year old, lively & sociable shepherd mix alone for the first time when we went to Portugal for 10 days. This was the first time Buster had been left with anyone outside the family, and to say I was nervous was an understatement. Garrett went above and beyond, sending messages with pictures and a brief check in, reassuring us that Buster was fine - the pictures gave us real evidence that he was indeed a happy camper, and honestly some of the photos made it seem like he was having a better time than if we’d been home! Haha, but in all seriousness, I would recommend Garrett 100% to anyone, and will definitively be going to him first whenever we need Buster care in the future. Thank you, Garrett!!!”

“Sara was a great caregiver to our two cats while we were away. Our cats were take care of and we didn't have to worry. We would contact her again!”

About: Feathers, Fur, and Everything In Between Hey there! I’m Joanne, and I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals. My Experience: * Bird Mom: I’ve owned exotic birds for 15 years. * Vet Assistant Perks: I spent time working in a vet clinic, so I have experience working with cats and dogs. I know what to look for to make sure everyone is healthy and safe. * Shelter Volunteer : I’ve spent plenty of time volunteering at shelters, which means I’m great with small animals and exotics. My Philosophy: Whether I’m hanging out with your cat, walking your dog, or making sure your bird is chirping, I treat your pets like they’re my own family. You’ll get plenty of photos and updates so you know they’re having a good time while you’re away. Bottom line: Your pet’s comfort is my #1 priority. Let’s chat and see if I’m the right fit for your family ! By day, I’m working at the hospital, but in my off-hours, I’m all about the animals. Since my work life is all about care and attention to detail, I bring that same energy to looking after your pets during my free time. I’ve spent 15 years keeping exotic birds, and I currently have two budgies of my own. They get flight time, fresh water, and a spread of fresh veggies every single day—and I bring that same "spoiled and healthy" standard to every pet I watch. Whether you have a dog, a cat, or a feathered friend, I’ll make sure your pet gets the same experience. I make it my mission to ensure every pet in my care gets the exercise they need and their meals exactly how they like them.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 35 years, and family and friends have always relied on me to walk, feed, sit for, and pop in on their pups. Your dog gets safe, loving, home-based care with constant attention, vibe checks, and a calm environment. I’m experienced with anxious dogs, meds, seniors, and special routines. My dog Crewe is a gentle, friendly host for pups who enjoy companionship. Daycare always includes morning walks, real-time pupdates, enrichment, and flexible drop-off/pickup so your schedule stays easy and your pup stays happy. Overnight boarding rates include AM & PM walks. My days revolve around dogs — literally. I work from home, so I’m here for walks, playtime, vibe checks, and snuggles from morning to night. Crewe and I follow a steady routine: morning walks between 9–10am, midday breaks in the backyard, afternoon play, and evening walks around 5–6pm. For clients, I offer flexible drop-off between 7–9am, morning walks between 9–11am, and easy in-and-out access to the backyard all day (weather permitting). Pickup runs from 5–7:30pm, and meal times follow your dog’s usual schedule. Overnight boarding and walk schedules are fully customized to your pup’s needs. Weekend guests even get to join Crewe and me on little field trips to Annie’s Social, our local dog-friendly café. Your dog will be cared for in a safe, structured, and comfortable home environment. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and the indoor space includes multiple soft beds, rugs, and couches where pups are welcome to relax. A crate is available upon request for dogs who prefer or require it. I maintain consistent routines, follow each dog’s feeding and medication needs, and accommodate special instructions within reason to ensure every pup feels secure. All outdoor time is monitored, doors remain secured, and I conduct careful introductions (vibe checks) with my dog, Crewe, to ensure a positive and stress-free experience. My focus is on clear communication, attentive supervision, and creating an environment where each dog can feel safe, calm, and at ease throughout their stay.

“John did a great job taking care of our cat Nina! John is super responsive and reliable—will definitely have him check in on Nina again in the future!!”

About: I’m an experienced pet parent and a proud cat mom of 6 cats. Caring for multiple cats has helped me develop a strong understanding of different personalities, behaviors, and individual needs. Beyond caring for my own cats, I have provided in-home cat care for friends, including caring for two cats while they were away. I have also gained professional pet-sitting experience through another pet care platform, where I regularly care for an 8-year-old cat for a repeat client who has trusted me as her go-to sitter. My experience includes feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, grooming, medication support when needed, and providing companionship for cats with different temperaments. I understand that every cat has their own routine and personality, and I always take the time to make them feel safe and comfortable in their own home. When caring for your pets, I treat them like my own. I will provide thoughtful updates, photos, and attentive care so you can feel confident and relaxed while you’re away. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a cat mom of 6, I’m used to maintaining consistent feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring behavior, and providing daily play and companionship. Outside of caring for my own cats, I set aside dedicated time for pet sitting visits, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up, playtime, and sending updates to owners. I understand that pets feel most comfortable with consistency and routine, so I always make sure they receive reliable and attentive care. I’m able to plan my schedule around pet care needs and provide dependable visits while treating every pet with the same patience and attention I give my own. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I understand that cats especially feel safest in their own environment, so I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, litter box care, playtime, grooming, and any special needs. Before each visit, I take time to learn about the pet’s personality, habits, favorite activities, and any concerns the owner may have. During visits, I provide attentive care, spend quality time with the pet, keep their space clean, and make sure they receive plenty of patience and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away.

About: I spent 10 yes volunteering at a no kill animal shelter. I currently walk dogs in my neighborhood and donate money to animal charities. I'm working to save animals I definitely make time. I work full-time but my hours are flexible and I can work remotely. My office is nearby as well. I'm single with no children. I have 2 indoor cats who do not go outside. I will follow the care instructions for each doggie as needed. If I feel they are in danger I will speak up.

About: I have over 14 years of experience with taking care of dogs. I grew up with a Maltese and my boyfriend and I currently have a very sweet Yorkie/Shih-tzu rescue.

I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time, love, and care for your furry family. We’re available on the weekends, Thursday-Sunday. My boyfriend and I have a friendly and sweet 4 year old male Yorkie/Shih-tzu rescue. Our apartment is kept very clean and tidy, and we are a smoke free home. I have been trained in dog/cat CPR. We will care for your furry child(ren) like our own!

About: With experience caring for dogs during extended stays of up to 30 days, I understand how important it is for pups to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I provide attentive, personalized care through daily walks, playtime, companionship, and maintaining their usual routines as much as possible. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and preferences! My goal is to make every dog feel right at home and give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry friend is in good hands. Since I am self-employed, I can offer flexible care. I’m available Monday-Friday, 10am-6pm (Wednesdays after 3pm), plus some evenings and weekends if needed. Happy to work around your pup’s needs! Safety, comfort, and fun are my top prioritie. I always want to make sure every pup feels loved and secured. I maintain clear communication with owners at all times!
