I appreciated how willing and confident she was in taking care of my reactive dog—he took to her immediately and I LOVED the updates Barbara gave me from their walks! The cutest photos!! She is so thorough and communicates every step of the way—I appreciate her so much and can’t wait for Sumi to see her again!”
About: Dynamic attention and keeping the pet's attitude active and above all, unless it sits in a calm environment of all kinds.My neighbors and friends trust me in how I take care of their pets. Well, I am passionate about interacting with pets and filled with joy every day knowing that my pets make me feel good.my disposition is in your hands Good with stimulation exercises and dynamic activities so that my pet is the happiest and most loving in the pharmacy and home and give it love
“Chelsie has been tremendously helpful with my anxious Pudding. She walks him twice a week for me and has always left me reassured. She pays close attention to details, openly communicates and will always give me updates on how their walk went as well as anything she has noticed behavior wise. She also switches up their waking route each time which is something that I appreciate. It’s the little details that separate her from other dog walkers and I cannot recommend her enough!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Daryl. Bernie is usually scared about new people which was my fear he wouldn’t walk with her. But after the First day Bernie made a new best friend. He really loves waiting for her by the door once he figured out the routine. Seeing how excited he is when she comes to walk him makes me happy. Daryl is definitely a dog person and a major help with Bernie. I’m so happy I found someone who can walk Bernie and he’s excited to always see. If your looking for someone to walk your fur baby there in great hands with Daryl.”
“May was amazing with my very energetic dog. She was always on time very communicative and took really good care of my dog even thought the pup is not the easiest one to handle. Would definitely recommend May to everyone!”
About: Hi, I am Lisseth (Real name is Paola but I use Liz to make it easier on you), I am 22 years old and currently living with one male cat. I have had pets throughout the last 4 years, both cats and dogs(previously from living as a ). I've dealt with a puppy(1 year), hyperactive dogs, and elderly dogs(1year). I am also able to teach tricks with my patience :) Physically, I'm able to walk long distances so your pup can be more relaxed than usual. If I'm pet sitting I am able to distract your dog with lots of playful time or just a relaxing petting time. I'm willing to learn your dog's personality so everything goes as smooth as possible. One more thing, if you would like me to give your pup a ride instead of a walk, I will!
“Yi Z is a very reliable dog walker and bonded with Henry very quickly. Communicative and left updates after each walk. Will definitely work with again! Highly recommended!”
About: I have walked and care for 20 New York City dogs of all sizes. I love dogs, cats and am passionate about all animals. I am excited to care for yours! I walk dogs according to my work schedule. I work in restaurants and often have time to walk dogs during the day when people attend their 9-5 jobs. I make sure to listen carefully to owners’ rules and concerns about their pets and treat each animal with love and respect, taking in consideration any dietary, medical or other requirements to follow for the wellbeing of each pet.
About: Hi! My name is Lizzy, and I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I currently volunteer at both Animal Care Centers (ACC) and Sean Casey Animal Rescue, where I help walk, feed, and comfort rescue animals. I have experienced taking care of dogs through the Wag! App and I help take care of my mom’s dog on a regular basis, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and loving to look after your furry family member. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, or just a little extra love while you’re away, I’m here to help! I currently work part time so I am often available and in the area to help out with boarding, sitting, drop ins, or dog walks! I make sure pets follow the schedule given to me which usually includes 3-5 walks per day and being fed twice a day (and of course constant refills on water)
About: I volunteered at a local shelter for a year to better understand cats before adopting one. Then, a friend of mine could no longer care for Rice Cake (my girl), so I adopted her, and she’s been with me for six years now! I also took care of a friend’s cat for a year while he was on an extended trip and some other friends’ cats from time to time. I have limited experience with dogs—I’ve helped friends walk their dogs and also cared for a friend’s puppy for a week. Because of this, I would prefer well-trained and socialized dogs. That said, I take pet care very seriously. I will be extra cautious, follow all instructions carefully, and make sure your pup feels safe and comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated every step of the way! I am on a career break and doing side projects for my CV. My schedule is flexible, so I can pay as much attention as needed to your pet’s needs. For Boarding Cats: I have a separate room where your cat can stay safely away from mine. I’ll be in the room during the day to work, and I’m happy to stay with your cat at night if needed. I also have a pet camera to keep an eye on them and plenty of plush toys for comfort if your cat enjoys company. For Boarding Dogs: As I don’t own a dog myself, I have limited dog supplies (no large items). However, if there’s anything specific you’d like me to prepare for your dog, please feel free to let me know, and I’ll be happy to accommodate! For Drop-Ins: I can provide real-time updates with photos, videos, and text messages to keep you informed. I will follow all your specific requests to ensure your pet’s needs are met.
About: Hi there! I’ve always been surrounded by friends’ dogs (and other pets!) growing up. I remember learning how to walk, bathe and understand their dogs in elementary school and always begging my parents to have a fur baby of our own. I’ve learned a great deal through their personal journeys and am looking to have a dog of my own in the future! Your pet will be greatly loved, respected, and safe while you’re away without worry. And of course, updates and photos are guaranteed! I’m greatly detail oriented, meticulous and compassionate about all furry friends. I hope to love them like they’re my own. I work full time remote so I’ll be home fully during the week to care for your furry companion. I’m super transparent on when I’ll need to step out during weekends for commitments or errands and will let you know ahead of time. Despite being fully flexible, I would only accept boarding of dogs without any intense separation anxiety that may result in accidents in the home or continuous barking that would invoke noise complaints in my apartment building. For a suitable match, I would only board dogs that can be alone for minimum 4-5 hours. If they can only tolerate being alone <4 hours, we won’t be a great fit! I thank you ahead of time for your understanding and I’m always open for a chat if we want to talk more details! My apartment is an elevator and pet friendly building and we have a rooftop for fresh air and space. I live with my partner, no pets and with occasional friends that may visit (if your pet is okay with this)! There are parks nearby for long or short walks as well. My space is kept clean and neat at all times too! I never use harsh cleaning products in my home and I also don’t have any plants that may harm pets as well.

Amy W.
“I’ve known Amy for a number of years (6+) one thing I can say for sure is she is very nurturing and responsible. I’m not a dog but she’s taken care of me and always made sure I’m fed. She is a Virgo so that’s how you know she’s responsible. Amy has amazing attention to detail and is very clean. She is very reasonable and loving and I could not think of anyone I would trust more to watch my own dog.”
Bensonhurst dog parents share their Rover experiences
Beyond grateful for Andy! He handles our big, sometimes reactive dog Arlo with grace and is always so accommodating. I was recently in the hospital for an emergency c-section he went above and beyond to help accommodate and fill in gaps in our schedule. He’s communicative, always lets us know when he’s coming ahead of time, and send great updates. Appreciate you, Andy!
Lea is absolutely lovely and super responsible. During our meet and greet, she was warm and gentle with my dog and eager to understand all the details of his care. She asked great questions and took quick notes — which she summarized shortly after and sent to me to make sure she hadn’t missed anything! I felt sure (and was right!) that my dog would be happy and well cared for during her visit. I look forward to booking with her again soon!
Rachel was amazing! We needed last minute help with our dog and she was very quick with responses and finding a time for her to meet the pup before she walked him. She is very communicative, responsible, kind, and I know she took such good care of my boy! Will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone!
