About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 12. My family and friends would ask me to pet sitting sometimes. I also trained my own dogs too I’m available weekdays before 9 and after 5 pm and weekends all day from very early to late. I don’t mind staying overnight. It’s ok for me I have toys for cats, scratches, a tower and a good space to take care of your pet without any problems. I’m also open to get some dog toys.
“Lori updated me every day and provided photos of each visit. My cat is anxious and Lori was patient with her and made sure to feed her a treat on visits to make sure Mittens was coming out of her hiding spot. Thanks Lori!”

About: My girlfriend and I have a great love and passion for taking care of animals! We treat them all as if they were our own! There’s 2 of us so that means double the love, care, and attention! 💖 Free all Friday and most weekends! My current work schedule allows me to be flexible with the time I have. I also love to get my steps in! Through making sure my pups were well fed and played with, to ensuring their safety with safe and careful socialization, the health and well being always comes first for any pet in my care.
About: When I was in college, I baby-sat and pet-sat for several families in the Wellesley, Massachusetts area. On top of my college experience, I’ve also been serving as a pet sitter via TrustedHouseSitter for four years now. My previous experiences were mainly with huskies, beagles, pit bull/rottweiler mixes, shitzus, and tabby cats. I work from home so my schedule is super flexible and I’m able to spend a ton of time with your pet(s). I love to have company while I work so I’m more than happy to look after your pet(s) and show them off to my coworkers while I’m in my meetings! My building has several heavy doors and the parking garage is fully gated, so the building is quite secure. I have a one bedroom apartment in the Bronx with a park just around the corner so potty breaks will be often and plenty over here.
About: I have taken care of Senior dogs, high energy dogs, oral medicine administration, training experience and have done Puppy care. Practice leash walking if I see it's needed. I'm currently volunteering part time at the Animal Shelter and walk dogs part time. My schedule is pretty flexible and can help out whenever needed. I provide a warm, loving, calm and peaceful environment in my home. There are no pets living in my home which is helpful for pets whenever they come in my home. Creates a comfortable and stress-free atmosphere for them.

“Kathryn was wonderful with my kittens while I was away on vacation! She was so friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with from the very beginning, which immediately made me feel comfortable leaving them in her care. I especially appreciated how much time she spent with them during each visit. She didn’t just come by to feed them and leave—she actually spent time playing with them, giving them attention, and making sure they were taken care of. It made being away from them so much easier knowing they were getting plenty of love and weren't just being left alone. Kathryn sent me lots of adorable pictures, which I looked forward to getting every day! She followed all of the instructions I left and was very attentive to everything the kittens needed. It was clear from the way she interacted with them that she truly loves animals and cares about the pets she watches. I would absolutely have Kathryn watch my kittens again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter. Knowing that they were with someone who was giving them genuine attention and affection gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’m so happy we found her!”

About: He’ll there! My name is Jessica— an active, dependable pet caregiver currently working toward my credentials because your animals deserve someone who takes this seriously. I’m available middays, evenings, and weekends, and I happily offer home stays for pets who do best in a cozy, familiar environment. I’m based in the Co-Op city and love prioritizing neighborhood clients — there’s something special about being the trusted sitter on your block. I also serve the Southeast Bronx along the 5 and 6 train corridors, making me accessible to a wide range of families across the area. For home visits and trial walks, due to cancellations I need to charge a flat rate of 20$ . I’m strong and experienced handling larger dogs, and I welcome medically complex care — whether that means administering medication, managing special diets, or keeping a close eye on a senior or post-op pup. My community roots run deep, and that means you’ll always get honest communication, photo updates, and a sitter who truly cares. 🌻 Is important to me that a space is kept clean, and habits are the overtime to maintain a space and animal health. Forgetting to do a litter box, one day happens, but forgetting to do it constantly can lead to your pet killing a fungal infection, and having a lot of pain in the limbs they walk on. I like to take a systems thinking approach, and things like a few times a week and cleaning your space everyday and securing unsafe spaces is super important . I work in retail and the service industry so I would love to transition out of that soon as hour can be short or sparse this time of year and build my photography business. Taking care of pets and having pet models for my portfolio would be great as well as the time to be active and have fun as I focus on building these foundational skills. I’ve already done the hectic schedule of chasing shifts downtown for the last 2 years so if I could have slower days and have clients closer to me that would be great. To me a very successful play session involves observing the pet where they are,and how they interact because I am a guest in their space firstly, and giving them attention and love is my first priority. I don’t care that I may start out at a Lower rate or XYNZ is out of my pay grade. I’m not leaving a fecal mess or putting my headphones on, and turning Netflix and putting my feet up during a session because I can . The TV will always be there but the emotions and potential reactive response of a pet that might start biting plants or getting into stuff they shouldn’t —can lead to a permanent result. I want the pets I care to stay interested or at least rest and feel comfortable in their space and know that some one is there to feed them and respond to their needs or at least be willing to figure out what they need and not dismiss them. I have been trained by another company called Big City Wolf on proper dog handling and plan to get my animal CPR training this March and apply to work at the new ACS center in Coop city .
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.

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.
“I would give Hadley 10 stars! This is the first time we had someone who wasn't a close friend care for our kitties. I was nervous, especially because Twinkle's diet and medication are a little complicated, and she doesn't like everyone, she's picky. But I could see when we met Hadley that they had a calm and loving temperament, and took the best care possible of our babies. Hadley's communication skills both with us and the kitts were great, and allowed us to enjoy our time away without worries. Also, great pictures and comments every day!”

About: I have provided care for everyone. I’ve taken care of babies, children, elders, cats and now dogs. I had my first sitting job for a friend last summer and I am ready to take on the challenge again. I am self employed, working from home daily. I spend most of my time with Violet and Blue, two very high energy and affectionate Maltese. We go for long walks around the greenway and practice new commands regularly. I adhere to the schedule the client has enforced and implement lots of play to support coping with not having their human companion at home.
“I cannot recommend our cat sitter highly enough! She took such amazing care of our cats while we were away and went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she make sure our cat was comfortable and monitored closely, but she also cleaned up all the messes without complaint and kept us updated throughout the entire time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and capable hands. She was reliable, attentive, communicative, and genuinely treated our cats as if they were her own. It’s not easy dealing with unexpected pet health issues, but she handled everything with kindness and dedication. We came home to happy cats and a clean home, and we are so grateful for her help.”

He runs with me a lot, and I care for my dog as well as my other pets very attentive, extremely nurturing (it’s a habit), and with so much play time.
“Chelsea did a wonderful job taking care of my 2 cats! She was kind, showed up always on time, sent us great pictures, and made the cats feel very comfortable. I highly recommend her to anyone and will certainly be rehiring her myself!”

“Ana did a great job taking care of our kitties, even though they are super shy and hid most of the time. She went above and beyond looking for them and making sure they were safe! Absolutely will ask for her help again in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m Amae — a lifelong animal lover who truly grew up surrounded by pets. I was raised with a sweet pit bull and two cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural (and happy) part of my life. I also have experience helping my mom with babysitting and pet care through the app, so I understand the importance of trust, communication, and consistency when caring for someone else’s fur babies. I’m currently a responsible college student who loves being around animals in my free time. Right now, I’m also a bunny mom, so I’m used to routines, gentle handling, and giving lots of love and attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I know how special pets are, and I’d be happy to help care for yours 🐶🐱🐰✨ Pet care is already a built-in part of my daily routine. Every day, I make time to feed and play with my cat, as well as care for my bunny. That means fresh food and water, enrichment time, cleaning their spaces, and making sure they’re both getting attention and affection. I really value creating a calm, consistent routine for animals, so checking in on them throughout the day has just become second nature to me. In other people’s homes, I respect house rules, keep things tidy, and maintain clear communication so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s checking collars and leashes before walks, monitoring playtime, or making sure they have fresh water. I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention I give my own.
About: We’re Justin and Esther—animal lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Justin has had pets his whole life, starting with a sweet cat named China, who had a litter of kittens he raised until their passing. Today, we care for Lunae Lux, our energetic Siberian Husky, and Fayth, Justin’s affectionate cat. For Esther, being surrounded by animals was always a dream—and marrying Justin made it a reality. It’s allowed her to bond deeply with both Lunae and Fayth, fulfilling her lifelong wish to share her days with furry companions. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or training, we’re passionate about giving every pet the care and love they deserve. Animals are the first and most important priority of the day, afternoon and night. They are like children in that aspect, or fur children as people say. My cat and dog get along very well. I have trained my Siberian Husky to be more understanding and caring to smaller animals such as cats.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - City Island
Sabrina was wonderful, she was so sweet and gentle to my three cats. She knew how to interact with them and pet them but she also knew when to back off if any of my cats were more timid. She also cleaned up after my cats litter robot perfectly and kept my home clean as well as double checking if the oven/ stove was off! I felt so calm knowing my babies had such a great care taker while I was on vacation.
