“Nicole has been amazing! We booked two visits a day to take care of our cat. She kept me posted after every visit. Luigi (the cat) was so relaxed that when we came back home, he didn’t even do the usual meowing he does when he misses us. Definitely one of the best experiences in the last 5 years! Thank you Nicole!”
About: I bring attentive, knowledgeable care tailored to your specific creature and their specific personality. I've been pet parent to dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes to my current Sheepadoodle — there's no dog size or personality that's too much or too little, IMHO. And my experience extends well beyond dogs — cats, snakes, farm animals 🐐, and more. I also happen to share my home with a ball python named Fettuccine Alfredo 🐍, who is a distinguished, low-drama fellow. As a plant parent, I will watch after yours indoor jungles, outdoor gardens, that one fiddle leaf fig you're nervous about. If you need someone who will actually look at your monstera and not just splash water in its general direction, that's me. (My avocado tree, grown from a pit, is thriving. I'm not taking questions.) Housesitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, basic training — I've got you. And if you're going away and need the whole ecosystem looked after, pets, plants, and all, I'd love to meet you. Pet care fits naturally into the rhythm of my week. My mornings are consistently free, which works well for walks and drop-in visits, and I have flexibility on Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends for longer stays or housesitting. On days when I'm teaching in the afternoons and evenings, I'm still available in the mornings — and I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I'm never stretched too thin across clients. This isn't something I'm squeezing in around a packed schedule — it's something I've made genuine room for. When I'm in your home for drop-in visits or housesitting, I treat it with the same care and attention I'd give my own. That means following your routines exactly as you've set them, keeping things tidy, and making sure your pets are comfortable and unstressed in their own environment. I take detailed notes at meet-and-greets so nothing gets missed while you're away. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and attentive to their individual energy and needs — a reactive dog gets a very different walk than a social butterfly, and I know the difference. I bring over thirty years of animal experience to reading body language and behavior, so I'm not caught off guard by much. My own home includes a ball python and two cats, so I'm well practiced in managing a multi-species household safely and calmly. I don't offer boarding, which means your dog's visit to my home would only ever be for a meet-and-greet in a low-key, relaxed setting. In any situation that feels off — health, behavior, anything — I err on the side of contacting you immediately and getting to a vet if needed. You'll never be left guessing.
About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, and caring for pets is something I genuinely love not just a side gig. I have hands on experience caring for pets of different personalities, energy, levels, and needs. Im comfortable with feeding routines, potty breaks, leash walking, and giving pets the attention and reassurance they need while you are away. Each pet gets personalized attention based on their routine, temperament and preferences. Im patient, observant and very attentive to details. I also prioritize communication, so you’ll feel informed, reassured, and confident that your pet is in great hands. I go to school durning the week but on weekends I’m definitely dedicated to spending time with other dogs when ur not available I love dogs and think they won’t be sad when there’s company around Whether Im caring for pets in my home or in a clients home, my goal is always to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment that feels as close to “normal” as possible for them.
About: I’ve been a big dog lover since I was 10 years old. I’ve always volunteered at animal shelters and was ecstatic when I got my first dog ChiChi at 12 years old . As a teen I walked ChiChi with other dogs in my building and built great relationships with everyone’s pets. Once I became an adult at 18 I began dog and cat sitting and walking professionally. And along this pet caring journey, I have to say my favorite part of this career is building bonds with the pets and ensuring they are well taken care of. I do not mind feeding, walking, bathing or playing with your beloved pets. I’m currently working part time. I have plenty of time to care and play with your pets. I have availability all 7 days of the week. I know how to maintain a safe environment for your pets. I am able to crate your dogs. Also, I am not afraid of administering any medications your pet may need.
“As a great dane dog parent it is hard to find someone who can handle a big dog. Marion has no issue, was very caring and patient with my big pup. Great communicator and sends lots of picture. 10/10 in my book.”
About: (PLEASE KEEP READING FOR LATENESS INFO AND PRICING). Hello, everyone! I am a college student who has more than 10 years of personal experience with a variety of dogs. I've raised and taken care of Rottweilers, Pitbulls, Dalmatians and Labradors in the past and currently own a 9 year old Labrador/Pitbull mix and 2 Rottweiles. I thoroughly enjoy taking care of dogs on my free time as I work out with my own. There's a big park with a dog run right next to me so your baby will always be taken care of and I also keep an AC in the living room for the hotter days. In addition to that, I have worked with dogs with separation anxiety and am very aware of the struggles dealing with that so I always make sure when I take a Rover booking, that the dog is never alone in the house. Furthermore, I have no issues sending pictures and videos of your baby as we all would like to know how our babies are doing when we are not with them. Thank you so much for taking a look at my services and feel free to book me up! FYI, I am very comfortable and very good with big and strong doggos :-). I take pleasure in giving your baby one on one time withNL NO OTHER DOGS at the same time as yours so that they can fully enjoy their time I go to school online so I am able to be with pets 24/7. I also make sure that pets do not stay alone ever while in my care.

Though my dog is friendly, I have a dog cage where my dog sleeps and which separates my own from other owner's pets for safety.
“Shalyse is fantastic. She checked in our cats while we were away, and she is extremely kind, professional, responsive, communicative and thorough. She was also very flexible and accommodating when a change of plans required us to modify our booking. We will definitely request her to watch our cats again and will highly recommend her to our friends. Thank you Shalyse!”

About: Hello everyone! Please complete your entire pet profile honestly and with as much detail as you can. Tell me what your dog is really like so I know what to expect. I can then also assess if I could accept more than 1 booking at a time or give your dog special one on one attention. And please include picture. I have cared for pets since I was about 5 years old. I have owned and cared for a variety of pets throughout my life including cats, dogs, birds, turtles, hamsters, snakes, fish, and a rabbit. Have experience walking, feeding, cuddling and playing with pets. Fun loving and silly at all times! But I do take my job very seriously.

“Very pleased with the care and attention Tasha gave to my babies. I left detailed notes to which she followed. Highly recommend Tasha to care for your furbabies.”
About: I’ve had the joy of being around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with both small and large breeds since I was a little girl. Caring for them is a lifelong passion for me. I love not only spending time with dogs but also training them, learning about their unique personalities, and making sure they feel happy, healthy, and understood. My goal as a sitter is to give each dog the same level of love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is thriving while you’re away. As a freelance artist, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to tailor my day around the needs of the pets I care for. My work in the arts gives me the freedom to be present for regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Because I can easily adjust my routine, I’m able to give each pet consistent attention and love. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or in a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are in a secure environment that they are free from hazards, with access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and plenty of safe play space. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, from feeding routines to exercise schedules, and keep a watchful eye on the pet’s behavior and well-being. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and ensure it’s kept tidy and secure. My goal is to provide both the pet and their owner with peace of mind, knowing they’re in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment.
About: I’ve had animals since I was born. I love every type of dog/cat/rabbits/guinea pigs/birds. I work from home so I can spend all my time with your fur baby.

I currently work from home so I’ll be with your fur babies majority of the time. Timing is flexible for me, as long as I know in advance :) I currently have no pets at the moment so I’ll be boarding one family at a time to ensure a comfortable, stress free environment.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I work overnight full time but I’m free in the day and afternoon so I will be fully awake to take care and watch dogs I have a backyard so the dogs would be safe. There is a lot of dogs in my area so the dog wouldn’t be lonely

Brandon is an exceptional sitter! He got back to me in a timely manner even when i requested his services a bit last minute. My German Shepherd pup loves him and I feel comfortable leaving him in his care. He kept us updated if anything happened and even took some cute photos of our kitty at home. If you’re looking for a trustworthy sitter, Brandon is your guy!
Let’s begin by saying I’ve never left my dogs for more than a few days and if so usually with just my mom. I had to go away for a family vacay and was so anxious as one of my doggies has to take his heart medication every 12hrs. Being away for 7 days while everyone I trusted was on this trip with me and thank god I came across Laudianny she was AMAZING! She was puntual and amazing with my babies. She was so good with link and his medicine and so loving with Lily 💕 all my dogs loved her. I will 100% be booking with her again!
Grace has been a tremendous help with taking care of Bianca. She is always punctual, reliable, and great at communicating. We feel very fortunate to have found someone as kind, caring, and trustworthy as Grace. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet.
What can I say about Melanil!! She’s so amazing schlepping back and forth to take care of my sweet boy shadow. We are super appreciative of her and we would love to have her back any ti e we need help. She was able to handle and control this 98pound dog responsible and with love. We are happy and so is shadow
I normally don't write reviews.but Dominick took wonderful care of my big baby. I booked him for walks while I was on vacation and Prince fell in love. Prince has bad anxiety but when Dominick walk through the door he was so excitement. I wasn't stressed out on vacation because I knew my dog was in good hands thank you again
Leona was amazing with our dog Doeby! Doeby is a very large energetic dog that requires constant attention and Leona provided everything that Doeby needed. Doeby appeared happy in every photo that Leona sent us. 10/10 service. She went above and beyond and allowed us to enjoy our wedding weekend without having to worry about Doeby. We will definitely be hiring her again.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bronx stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bronx choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Bronx with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
