About: Dogs have always had a special place in my heart. I grew up in a home full of animals, including a loyal family dog who was truly part of the family. Since then, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels from playful puppies to calm older companions. I believe dogs are often more loyal, honest, and emotionally tuned in than people that’s why I love being around them. I’m active, patient, and reliable, and I take the time to understand each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just quiet company, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away I recently moved to New York, so my schedule is very flexible right now. I’m spending time settling in, exploring the city, and making my new home feel cozy - and having a pup by my side would only make that experience better! I usually have a lot of free time during the week and can easily adjust my day around your dog’s needs, whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship. On weekends, I often take short trips outside the city to spend time in nature - and when I stay in town, I’m happy to spend that time caring for your furry friend. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment in my 1 bedroom apartment in UES, where animals feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs - whether they’re playful and active or prefer quiet time and cuddles.I make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, mental stimulation, and plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I live in a secure, high rise apartment with plenty of natural light and space for pets to lounge, explore, and feel at home. I never leave pets unattended for long and treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own
“Alyssa is absolutely incredible! She was amazing with my dog who is somewhat nervous/anxious and relatively new to the city. She was truly cares and takes the time to learn about your dog’s personality and likes/dislikes. She is reliable and always communicates and updates you every step of the way! I can’t wait to use her for more walks!”
“Wei Han came to my rescue my first day living in the UWS when I needed a last minute walker. She took my son on a long walk and took lots of photos. She even wiped his paws for me and used my lock box easily. So great working with her!”
“Sebastian was wonderful to work with as a dog walker! He was punctual, professional, and genuinely cared for my dog. My dog always seemed happy and well-exercised after his walks. I highly recommend Sebastian for anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful care for their dog!”
“Lane showed up for a very late notice walk and was great with timing and responsiveness, and had been a reliable and trustworthy walker for my (very old) dog Peanut. Peanut loves the walks, comes back tired out from a good walk and happy. Highly recommend!”
“I am a longtime customer of Nataly. Nataly is wonderful, caring and trustworthy. Highly recommend. I’ve had questionable experiences with rover sitters in the past but Nataly has *never* disappointed.”
“Alice did a great job with Gilbert! First, she was able to help me last minute which I really appreciated. Second, she took Gilbert on nice long walks and made sure he was happy! She did such a good job, I used her the next day too! Thanks again, Alice!!”
“Our dog Neddie absolutely LOVES Taylor! Despite his crazy puppy energy she is very patient with him making sure he’s behaving well enough for a great walk. Will definitely book again!”
“Ian is incredibly informative. Punctual. Patient. Friendly. Overall- a very pleasant person to work with. Animals very clearly love and respect him as much as he loves them. Our teenage Bernese mountain dog Gatsby has been receiving both walking and training from Ian and let me tell you… I’m shook at the progress in such a short period of time already made. 10/10 recommend! Thanks Ian!”

Central Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Madison goes above and beyond for the dogs she cares for- I am BLOWN AWAY. For all of the services I’ve used for Henry, Madison is next level. She actually does the full time slot and makes it fun by incorporating other dogs into the walks (pending owner approval) this makes the walks more fun for Henry and for Madison! Consistent, energetic, kind and clearly experienced caring for dogs with vibrant personalities, I know Henry is in GREAT care when Madison walks Henry.
Noah was a great walker! He took very good care of Kloud, communicated very effectively and promptly and was super friendly and likeable throughout the entire process. We definitely trust Noah to be Kloud’s regular walker and highly recommend him to anyone. 10/10:)
Ani is truly amazing! She was punctual, friendly, and calm around my energetic pup. She took the time to make sure he felt comfortable and safe with her. By the end of the walk i could they were best friends. Highly highly recommend Ani to anyone who is looking for someone trustworthy and caring. So lucky to have found her!
Stephanie is an outstanding walker. Extremely communicative and shares lots of photos to make me feel great about how Willow is doing. The time she took to write a detailed note about their walks together was something I truly appreciated. I will definitely be asking Stephanie to walk Willow again.
