“Amazing! I enjoyed having Rosanna take my dog on afternoon walks. Her detailed updates made me feel like my dog was in great hands. You can tell she truly cares about what she does. ❤️”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember! Wether it be my own, my friends, or my neighbors, i’ve always loved and been very in tune with animals and nature. I have helped puppies with potty training, socialization, equipment dressing, crate training, recall, and more! I have also taken care of senior animals. Providing them comfort while administering any extra care or medication they may need, including injections of subcutaneous fluids. Overall, I have a ton of love and care for animals, as well as experience keeping them as safe and comfortable as possible. I’m currently interning remotely at a film production company located in Los Angeles. I only work Tuesdays and Thursdays and even then have a very flexible schedule. If you need a great last minute sitter/walker, i’m here for you! I treat your homes and pets as if they were my own! I am incredibly detail oriented, careful, considerate, and adept at problem-solving. I will carefully listen to any and all directions you provide and follow them to a tea, as well as be independent enough to prevent or solve and issues that may arise. I would love to ease your stress and help you take care of your beloved homes and animals!
About: Hello! I’d love to be your pet’s bestie. I have extensive experience caring for cats and litters of kittens from birth to eight weeks, subbing in for Humane Society foster friends when they were out of town. I also have 10+ years of experience walking, feeding and playing with dogs of all ages and sizes, including my own dogs (Golden Retrievers!) growing up. It brings me so much joy to see every animal's unique personality shine through when they are in my care, and I strive to make every pet feel as comfortable, safe and content as possible. I currently work part time, so I have plenty of space in my schedule to play with your pups or kitties! Whether it’s a walk or a visit to your home, I’d love to spend quality time with your pet. I can play with your cats and provide enrichment to keep them busy. For dogs, depending on their reactivity, I would be happy to bring them on walks of any length, for exercise or to go potty. If your home needs a light tidy or your pet makes a mess, I'd also be happy to clean that up for you.
“Ryan did a great job looking after my dog Kira. He was timely with her walks, always ensured she had food and water, and if he ever had a question was not afraid to ask. She seemed in great spirits when I got home. Happy with his work.”

“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!”

“Josh is great! He is punctual, responsive and usually available. He does great with our dog who can be timid with new people, especially in our apartment. And he gives detailed information about their walks. Will definitely continue to book him in the future!”


About: Hi! A dog and cat lover based in UWS— I’m new to Rover but have been taking care of pets for over a decade! I’m a reliable, attentive pet sitter who genuinely loves spending time with animals :) I’ve cared for both cats and dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a slower, more gentle pace. I know it can feel scary to leave your loved furry friend for any amount of time but with me, I promise loving, special, and safe care! I have experience handling different temperaments, routines, and needs including administering medications, managing allergies, and adapting to each pet’s unique preferences. Whether it’s a quick visit, daily walks, or longer stays, I’m always happy stepping in and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I work a hybrid schedule with a lot of flexibility throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, walks, and care. I’m in-office Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but available for morning/evening care those days, and fully flexible the rest of the week for drop-ins, walks, and sitting. I’m able to adapt to your pet’s routine and make sure they’re getting the attention and activity they need! I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and attentive environment for every pet. I have a private outdoor backyard and live just a one minute walk from central park, so dogs get plenty of fresh air, exercise, and stimulation. I’m experienced with pets of all ages, temperaments, and needs including medications and allergies and I always follow owner instructions closely. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times :)
“Lily was great. She has a ton of experience, and I felt confident she would take great care of my dog. My dog is very shy, and Lily did a great job making her feel comfortable and at ease. I will definitely be booking with Lily again.”

About: My extensive background in pet sitting speaks for itself, but what truly drives me is my deep connection and ability to bond with animals. I believe this personal connection is what makes me an exceptional caregiver, and it’s the reason I’m so passionate about working with pets. I have a wide open schedule. I wake up and get my pet ready for breakfast and I handle clean up around the same time. Throughout the day I engage with my pet. I have time and availability to do house visits or to walk your pet. I live in an apartment that is pet friendly. The windows are secure and the neighbors are pet lovers as well, so there is socializing and our 5 unit apartment building. The neighborhood here engages with pets on a regular basis
“Betty absolutely loves walking with James. I know James is great with her because she gets really excited to see him and happily trots off without a look back!”

“Ann totally rocks! I felt so comfortable leaving her with my lil mans and she kept me update throughout the day on how he was doing. Linus is shy at first but he opened right up to Ann! Linus and I can’t wait to have her back!!”

Kelly and Frank were such kind, considerate, and communicative walkers for Tito! They went the extra mile coordinating with my other dog sitter and paid extra care to Tito’s injured paw by adjusting his walking schedule and playing with him inside. I would definitely book them again in the future!

Birger was fantastic with Moana! He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about her well being. He kept me updated throughout the walk and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Moana came back happy. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to other pet parents!
Austin was great! He walked Rascal approximately twice daily for a four-day period. He reliable, communicative and easy to deal with. Rascal can be a bit cranky when he doesn’t know somone but Austin was able to handle him and earn his trust. We felt very comfortable knowing that Rascal was in good hands!

Anastasiia was wonderful with my dog! She met us beforehand for a meet and greet, and then provided photos and feedback during her first walk. She is trustworthy and was great with navigating the procedures in my apartment building. I am so thankful for her help!

I am happy I found Catherine! Her love of and experiences with dogs is apparent. She has a great attitude and she was great with my dog. She arrived on time and after a short introduction with my pup they were off for the allotted time. She shared photos along the way and a summary post walk. I would book Catherine again!
