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.
“Katie was wonderful with my dog, Wednesday! She arrived right on time, kept me updated throughout the walk, and let me know about anything she encountered along the way. I really appreciated the photos she sent, which gave me peace of mind and showed that Wednesday was happy and well cared for. Katie was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about providing great service. I was extremely happy with the care she provided and will definitely be booking her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I love to spend time with pets and easily found out what they might need. It helps me get close to them also. And I learn a lot from different pet owners because every pet is unique. I am currently a freelancer so I have plenty of time with them. My schedule is pretty flexible and we can figure out after we mer. In my apartment there are two balconies and double doors, they are safe. And my dog loves to see people around and listen people’s coversation from the balcony
“Michelle took wonderful care of my dogs while I was at work all day! I have one dog that is very nervous around new people, and my other is a rescue from an abusive home, so there’s few people that I can trust them with. Michelle was patient and capable, I knew they were in good hands with her. Definitely recommend her services for all dogs!”
About: I am a vegetarian major,I will become a vet in four years.I have two dogs, a Labrador retriever and a Charles king poodle mix.I love dogs more than anything!!!! I walk my dogs three times a day for more than an hour. I let them communicate with other dogs and I will make them fresh food like meats and vegetables. I will treat them as my pets.I will get to know their hobbies and favorite food,I would like to understand them them and hang out with them!!!!
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.
“Erika G has become part of my pups extended family! She is very committed to the dogs and treats them so beautifully! I never worry when she is there in my place! You will not be disappointed with her in your pups life.”
About: Hi, I’m Viv! Started out being scared of dogs when I was young but fell in love after interacting with them. Family and friends have relied on me to walk their dogs and watch their bunny overnight. I will care for your fur baby as if they were my very own! I currently work from home and have an extremely flexible schedule. This allows me to have time available to give your fur baby plenty of attention! Your fur baby will have a wonderful experience at my home, it is tidy and organized. The couch is covered with blankets and have wipes at the doorway to wipe every paw once inside. Taking care of animals is my passion and I will frequently update you with photos!
“Amanda has been such a great help. She is on time and if she has to be later she lets me know in advance and is very communicative and had great availability. I feel that my dog is safe with her on her walks and that she cares for my dog. I will definitely hire her again in the future.”
About: I grew up on a farm and have been around cats and dogs my entire life. We always had several cats at home and dogs outside, so caring for animals was just a normal part of growing up for me. I’ve taken care of cats from when they were tiny kittens all the way into old age. My last cat had diabetes, and I cared for him for years, including giving him insulin injections every day. I’m very comfortable feeding, playing with, cleaning up after, and caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve always loved animals and really enjoy spending time with them and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. I’m also a native Russian speaker and speak Russian fluently. I am retired now and have a very free schedule as of now. I am very flexible and have availabilities any time and any day! I live inside an apartment, it's in a nice area with a nice park nearby. The building allows all types of pets inside there.
About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood. I got my first cat when I was 8, later I had a dog, and since then caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have 4 cats of my own, including pets with special medical needs, and I take pet care very seriously. My mom runs a rescue in my home country, so helping animals is something truly family-based for me. For me, this is not just extra income, I treat pet care as a serious responsibility, and I understand how much trust owners place when leaving their pets with someone. I have experience with rescue animals, senior pets, and cats with serious health conditions, including diabetes, urinary issues, post-surgery recovery, and cancer care. I am calm, patient, and very attentive to detail. Skills & Experience: 1) Administering insulin injections and basic medications 2) Caring for diabetic pets and monitoring health conditions 3) Experience with oncology (cancer) and post-surgery recovery care 4) Senior pet care (gentle handling, comfort-focused care) 5) Cat care: feeding routines, litter care, behavior observation 6) Nail trimming for cats 7) Basic teeth cleaning 8) Dog walking and general dog care experience 9) Experience rescuing and fostering around 10 cats 10) Reliable pet sitting for friends and family when they travel I always treat every pet as my own and make sure they feel safe, calm, and cared for while their owner is away. Pet care fits into my weekly routine on specific days. Right now, I am available on Tuesdays and Fridays, and I can do morning, afternoon, or even late-night visits depending on the booking. I already care for my own cats every day, including a very strict medical routine. I regularly check blood glucose levels and administer insulin injections twice a day. Because of this, I’m very responsible, consistent, and comfortable following precise schedules without missing details. Even though my availability is limited to certain days, I fully dedicate my time and attention during visits. I make sure every pet receives proper care, monitoring, and calm, attentive support. I always prioritize safety, routine, and a calm environment when caring for pets. I carefully follow each pet’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, and special medical needs. I have experience with cats requiring insulin injections, health monitoring, and strict daily routines, so I am very responsible and detail-oriented. In any home, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free, and I always keep their environment clean and secure.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bensonhurst
There’s really no one we trust Bailey with more than Ella. He’s not just “business” with her. She showers him with love and pays close attention to him. Her communication is amazing. Always letting us know when she notices anything. Out of the ordinary. We’re truly blessed to have found her.
Our puppy is a rescue and tends to be very skittish around strangers. Katie took the time out of her day to come and meet Nyx to cushion the pre-walk jitters, which meant a lot to us! Our anxious dog seemed to immediately take a liking to her and felt safe with her, so she was able to complete her walk with 0 issues. Katie was extremely communicative, thorough, and punctual. The detailed report card with many pictures gave us a lot of reassurance that Nyx was being properly cared for! She’s still a pup, so we appreciated that Katie also kept her on routine and on a personal note, we also really appreciated that she was optimistic and enjoyed spending time with our doggie! Thank you so much, Nyx can’t wait to see you again!
Kseniia was a very responsible dog walker. She only walked our dog for 4 days and she always followed our instructions. The only caveat I would mention is that larger dogs or dogs with specific behavioral needs may require very detailed instructions. For example, our excitable dog’s behavior was misunderstood as aggression. In our case, our dog’s behavior and needs were fully explained, and all of the walks went very well. Kseniia followed all of our instructions carefully.
Once again, we booked Tracy! We had a last minute trip within a few weeks of our last booking with Tracy & we were lucky they were available. Our dog, Ella, looked happy-as-can-be on all the walks; Tracy even pulled a few packages that were delivered while we were away. We recommend Tracy; 10/10, every time!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Bensonhurst. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
