House Sitting Bayside

“Angela took great care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. She was reliable and very communicative. Would definitely hire her again.”

Kimberly H.

“Andrea is incredibly attentive and always puts me at ease while I'm away! She sends adorable pictures of my kitty, sends updates every day and I can tell when I get home that she's been treated like a queen. So grateful to have someone I can trust looking after my home and my girl!”

About: I have always been surrounded by dogs and cats and I thoroughly enjoy being in their company. I have an immense love for animals and find great joy in spending time with them. I am currently taking online classes, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I am able to dedicate plenty of time to spending quality time with your best friends. I have veterinary experience from working at an animal hospital, which has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. I am detailed oriented and thrive on following directions precisely to ensure the best possible care for your furry friends.

“Kenine went above and beyond at the last minute for my rescue pup who is still decompressing from the shelter and learning manners. Kenine provided last minute coverage and reviewed and enforced 1000 details to help my pup feel safe and secure. She handled his needs on walks, with medication, a special diet, and his behaviors that we are working on. Grateful for Kenine’s patience, skill and support and highly recommend her services. Thank you, Kenine!”

“We came back to a very happy pup! Would highly recommend Kaylamay — your pet will get plenty of good care and you’ll get plenty of updates throughout the stay.”

About: I’ve had a deep passion for engaging with and taking care of animals since I was a kid; specifically with dogs & cats. I’ve been fortunate enough to have become a reliable sitter for several families and neighbors that I grew up with on Long Island, and have been able to continue serving many different owners across Manhattan while I attend university here in the city. My apartment is perfect for in-home boarding requests as this has become my favorite form of pet-care. Personally, I’ve yet to find anything in my life that I enjoy more than getting to play with and look after dogs and cats; over the years I’ve learned such a great deal about the type of engagement that dogs really need throughout their daily activity, as well as providing a safe and protected environment for cats that wish to roam. I’ve have solid experience administering medication, following strict meal plans, and even training as needed - all animals are different and require different types of care. It would be my privilege to watch over yours! I’m currently enrolled asynchronously at Touro University to pursue my Masters in Education which provides me with plenty of time and availability to be present and engaged with the animals I’ve been fortunate enough to work with. I have a spacious apartment with a full trained & vaccinated Labrador puppy of my own who’s incredibly docile, but quite playful! I am fully stocked on food, toys, treats, vitamins, an Animal First-Aid Kit, and even HeartGuard + Symperica Trio supplements (just in case.) Ofcourse, watching your animal in your home would be no problem either and I have extensive experience in doing so - it all really just depends on your need. Committing to your pet’s regimen and ensuring their comfort will always remain my highest priority.

“Reena was great for a last minute booking, viejo took a liking to her and she was very responsive through out the sitting, would definitely recommend her”

Maria L.

“Kristen took great care of our 18 month old labradoodle for 10 days. On our initial meeting, my wife and I loved his easy-going but responsible attitude and our girl took to him right away without any hesitation. A big bonus was Kristen's proximity to Prospect Park. We received lots of photos during her stay and Kristen was super fast replying to any questions we had. Kristen is definitely going to be our go-to sitter on our nights out and when we're out of town.”

David W.

“Garrett was so wonderful! My girl loved him immediately and I left knowing she was in incredible hands. Garrett was so responsive and asked such great questions to make sure all information was covered. I will definitely book again!”

Sarah W.

“Yin was wonderful! She was incredibly kind, easygoing, and a pleasure to work with. She not only took excellent care of my cat, Greta, but also formed a real attachment to her. I received daily photos, videos, and updates, and knowing how loving and attentive Yin was with Greta gave me the reassurance I needed to truly relax and enjoy my long overseas trip. I came home to a very happy cat! I would absolutely invite Yin to care for Greta again and highly recommend her.”

Julia M.

“Samantha was so kind, gentle and caring with my Noelle, I could not have asked for a better “babysitter”! I am so grateful to have met her and look forward to working with her again!”

About: From long walks to slow sniffy adventures, I’m happy to match your dog’s vibe. I’m easygoing, reliable, and love getting to know each dog’s personality. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority—and I’ll send photo updates so you can see how they’re doing along the way 🐾 Right now, I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m typically available on Fridays and throughout the weekends; sometimes I am free during the weekdays outside 9-5. If you have any questions or a specific time in mind, feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate. I always prioritize safety, trust, and respect when caring for pets in your home. I follow all instructions carefully and treat everything with care. I do this work out of genuine love for animals and always treat each pet as if they were my own. I’m easy to communicate with and quick to respond, and I can send regular photo updates if you’d like.

About: I'm an incredibly active individual. I love to lift weights, practice martial arts, hike, and go on runs. This allows me to be an excellent fit for a dog whose energy levels are high. If you'd prefer for me to not just take your dog to the bathroom, but provide them a good amount of exercise as well, I'm a great fit! When I'm not taking care of dogs I work as a writer, director, and editor on films, social media videos, and commercials. If you've ever wanted any photos or videos of you and your four legged friend (or just them) I can provide high quality images/videos for you as well whether you want to just show off to your friends and family or just to have status updates on how your dog is doing. Because I work freelance my schedule tends to be flexible and allows me to set my own hours usually. I will work with you as best as I can to fit your needs within my schedule. I treat dogs very similarly to how I treat people. I show them a great deal of respect, empathy, and love. I do tend to spoil my own dog here and there, but I also try to love him as unconditionally as he does to me. A golden rule I try to follow is treat others the way you want to be treated. Another golden rule I try to follow is to see myself in others. I also apply these two golden rules to my encounters with pets and nature in general.

“Highly recommend J for overnight and extended stays! He stayed at our house for over a week to take care of our dog, Joey. Sent regular updates and was quick to respond to messages. Came home to a clean house and a happy dog!”

About: Hi, I’m John ! I’ve been on Rover for 4 years and pride myself on providing trusted, reliable care. I personally vet all my clients and their pets to ensure a perfect fit. I grew up surrounded by animals, owning 8 dogs and 4 cats, which gave me a lifetime of experience with pets of all sizes and personalities. I’ve trained and cared for a wide variety of animals, from playful kittens to golden retrievers, shibas, and even extra-large breeds. Currently, I have two amazing senior pets: a 22-year-old diabetic cat, who I manage with daily insulin shots, and a 15-year-young poodle who keeps me on my toes. They’re both incredibly sweet and remind me every day why I love caring for animals. Let me help take care of your furry family members—I’d love to meet them! I currently work part time from home, caring for animals is a passion of mine. My parents were dog trainers 30 + years ago, they also love animals. I have fenced off front and big back yard for dogs to run around An open room to keep the pets separated and inside if need be.

About: I have had a dog my entire life, I love dogs! I enjoy going on walks and hanging out with doggies. I have watched my best friends new puppy quite a bit and took care of my family dog Marni when she was a puppy. I will love your doggie like they are my own and play with them until they tire out. Animals are the best. I work in midtown manhattan a 9-5 M-F but it’s pretty lenient. I’m off weekends and totally free for your pets! I can leave work to go check on your pet whenever as well. I play with them, rub their belly, feed them, take them on walks. I enjoy spending times with dogs and will do mostly everything with them if I can.

About: Hi there! My name is Nora, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. Growing up with dogs, I’ve been helping them throughout my life, so I’m well-versed in different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’ve personally had dogs ranging from a petite 15-pound Havanese to a massive 150-pound French Mastiff. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, administering basic care, or maintaining consistent routines, I understand the importance of ensuring pets feel safe and secure. In addition to my experience with dogs, I also have a fish tank and black shorthair cat of my own. This has made me particularly attuned to feline personalities and the subtle details that contribute to a cat’s comfort and happiness. I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone’s care, and I treat every animal in my care with the same attentiveness and affection I give my own. I’m happy to meet your pet where they are, whether they need lots of activity or just a calm, steady presence. I’m committed to helping keep your pet happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away! I’m currently studying for the GRE so I’m looking to fill my time with something fulfilling like pet care! I’m available most days 8am-6pm and I’m open to night visits or overnight stays. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize maintaining their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I understand the importance of familiarity for pets, so I strictly follow feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and any house rules, such as crate training or furniture boundaries. I always make sure to provide regular updates and photos to ensure you feel confident that your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you are away! For dogs, I ensure they receive appropriate exercise based on their age and energy level. This may include long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxed companionship. I closely observe their body language and behavior to ensure their comfort and happiness. As a cat owner myself, I am particularly attentive to feline needs. I keep litter boxes clean, maintain feeding routines, and provide both stimulation and quiet spaces for cats. I recognize that cats often require patience and calm energy, and I allow them to set the pace for interaction. Some people say cats are easy to care for, but I understand that they require an immense amount of care, including daily play and just as much love and respect you would give to a dog!

“My dog is feisty and doesn’t get along well with nearly anyone, but she loved Sara! Very responsible and communicative in important situations. She stayed at our apartment and left it cleaner than we did! Would highly recommend!”

Max M.

“This is our first time booking a dog sitter and we had a great experience with Adriana. She took great care of our puppy when we were away for a couple days and communicated with us frequently. We knew that our puppy was having nice walks outside and came home to a happy dog. She also left the apartment really clean and we would definitely work with her again.”

Amy Z.

“Sam was great! She listened and totally understood the needs of Maddy (my very high energy pup). She took her out on long walks to help expend all that energy. I came back to a tired, happy pup. Can’t recommend her enough! Will definitely use again!”
