“Aleksander is a life saver. He made himself available with very short notice to drop in on my cat while I was out of town. He is friendly and conscientious.”
“Yana was fantastic with our two cats! She was very caring and attentive and sent us updates about anything we might want to know about - and also cute cat photos. She even took notice that our automatic feeder wasn't working and reset it for us. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Tracy did a great job taking care of my 2 cats! She was very communicative and they seemed very happy and well taken care of when I returned home. Thank you so much!”
About: *I only take one pet at a time for boarding and day care (two if they are in the same family). My rates are firm and reflect the level of care I will provide* I know the feeling of never wanting to leave your fur baby behind. Wherever I went, if I couldn’t take my pets with me, then I would rather not go at all. But sometimes when work calls or when you simply need a little “me” time, we need some help from someone we can trust to love and care for our pets while we’re away. I would love to be that person for you! My pet care experience comes from working with shelter animals, caring for stray cats, fostering cats and dogs, and loving my own beloved pets (My two dogs that have since passed - Terri, 18, Maple, 12, and cat - August, 4). I’m fear-free certified and familiar with caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs (especially cushings, CHF, CCD). I can help with giving oral medications and am open to assisting with other needs if you’re willing to teach. If your pet knows any commands or is in training, I’m happy to help reinforce their skills too (just let me know!). In addition to my experience above, I was also featured on NY1’s New Yorker of the week segment for my volunteer work at Animal Haven, an animal shelter based in Manhattan. My home is super senior-dog friendly with rugs all around the house so your pups don’t slip, pet oxygen for emergencies, plus strollers for pets with special needs. I work remote and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I offer pet day care, house sitting, and boarding. Please see my calendar for availability. HOUSE SITTING - overnight stays in your home DROP INS - 30 minutes and I’ll do whatever is needed in that time WALKS - 30 minutes BOARDING - I do a minimum of 3-4 walks a day, depending on your dogs needs. Owners must provide food for their pets. DAY CARE - Drop off for day care is in between 7-9am and pick up is between 4-6pm I will love and care for your pet the way you do for them. I treat every animal I have cared for like family, providing patience, space, and extra attention as needed. I’m super safety conscious and keen on details, so if there are any particular habits, routines, or schedules you’d like me to follow, if your pet is trained or undergoing training and there’s anything you want me to reinforce, or if your pet has special needs and requires special care, please reach out to me with those details. I am always willing and more than happy to work with you to make sure they are cared for and to give you peace of mind. Rest assured, you’ll be getting plenty of updates and photos from me!
About: Hi, I am Lisseth (Real name is Paola but I use Lis to make it easier on you), I am 29 years old and currently living with one male cat. I have had pets throughout the last 10 years, both cats and dogs from living with past roommates. I've dealt with a puppy(1 year), hyperactive dogs, and elderly dogs(1year). I am also able to teach tricks with my patience :) Physically, I'm able to walk long distances so your pup can be more relaxed than usual. If I'm pet sitting I am able to distract your dog with lots of playful time or just a relaxing petting time. I'm willing to learn your dog's personality so everything goes as smooth as possible. I am currently open for any occasion, walks and play time or overnight stays. My daily routine is simple and I am currently not going to school. I make sure to put safety first by being calm and alert while entering your home. Making sure pets are not alarmed as I enter your home.
“Shariyf was great! Kind, responsive, and considerate from start to finish. We came home to two very happy cats. (Shariyf had even carried a few large packages that came in our absence up to our walk-up, which was way above and beyond the call of duty.) Thanks for everything, Shariyf!”
“Lena went above and beyond for us to trouble shoot why the fire alarm has started beeping and climbed up to the ceiling to fix it so it wouldn't stress out the cats. She kept us updated and sent the cutest pictures that made me feel confident that the kitties were safe and happy. I would absolutely love to work with Lena again! 💕”
“Jacquelyne is amazing and takes wonderful care of my difficult cat! She’s my go-to sitter, and I always know my cat is in great hands with her. I highly recommend her.”
About: Hi! I’m Sophie, I'm 27 (will soon be 28!), and I'm someone who genuinely enjoys spending time outdoors and being around animals. While I’m relatively new to pet care, I’m eager, attentive, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I stay active and go on daily walks (usually about an hour), so I’m especially excited about opportunities to walk dogs and keep them engaged. I’ve had some hands-on experience walking a friend’s dog, and I’ve really enjoyed building that routine and connection. I also have a small goldfish tank at home, so I’m familiar with the basics of maintaining a pet environment. In terms of availability, starting April 16th, I expect to work full time in office Monday through Friday (with early dismissal on Fridays) and I’ll be available on Friday evenings and throughout the weekends. I would be comfortable offering services for dog walking and making drop-in visits. I would like getting to know your pet's routines and what would be expected from me.
“Maria was absolutely fantastic with my very shy, semi-feral cat, Bebe. Maria approached her with such patience, respect, and understanding. From the start, she was calm and gentle, never pushing interaction, and gave my cat the space she needed to feel safe. Remarkably, by the end of the visits, my kitty was actually more comfortable around her — a huge win! Maria also followed my very detailed instructions to a tee, which gave me total peace of mind. She sent thorough updates, including thoughtful notes and clear, great photos that truly showed how things were going, which really reassured me while I was away. Her attention to detail and commitment to my cat's comfort were above and beyond. Maria is the kind of sitter you hope to find. She truly understands cats and provides the kind of care that builds trust and comfort — both for the pet and the owner. Highly, highly recommend! Will definitely book her again.”
About: I bring nine years of dedicated pet-care experience, primarily with my Siberian Husky, a breed known for its intelligence, energy, and unique behavioral needs. My background also includes occasional care for cats, giving me a well-rounded understanding of feline routines and temperaments. Whether it’s exercise, enrichment, or calm companionship, I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care for every pet. I have flexible hours during the warmer months and love getting outside with my energetic Siberian Husky for regular walks and grooming. I can accept one-time bookings easily, though reoccurring schedules for walking should be discussed in advance since my availability may be limited. During November through April, walking services are more weather-dependent and may not always be open. Your dog is welcomed into a calm, dog-friendly home where they will have attention, companionship, and structure. Crate-comfort for short periods is important, especially for pups who may get anxious when left alone for quick errands. Day sitting is available for a minimum of 7 hours within a 14-16 hour day (pet needs to do well 8 hours overnight), with a maximum 3-hour break for other tasks; usually in the morning (this also applies to boarding). Overnight stays are generally limited to once every 3 booked days. I remain mindful of each pet’s boundaries and training. Please provide a clear list of your expectations for each home visit. • Furniture rules will match what they’re used to at home • Resource guarding or aggression cannot be accommodated for everyone’s safety My philosophy is simple: a dog should feel respected, understood, and appreciated every step of the way. ❤️
About: I offer full-time, in-home dog sitting and boarding in a calm, loving environment near the beach. Dogs stay in my home, where their comfort and safety are my top priority. My space is fully set up for dogs of all sizes, with plenty of toys, cozy beds, and dedicated areas for rest and play. Each dog receives personalized care, attention, and a relaxed home atmosphere—never cages or overcrowding. For owners needing extended stays, I also offer free pick-up and drop-off, making longer bookings easy and stress-free. Whether your dog is here for a short visit or a longer stay, they’ll be treated like family. Pet care is a central part of my life. As a pet owner myself, I genuinely enjoy the companionship of animals and being able to provide them with attentive, loving care. I am available for in-home boarding at my home, as well as dog sitting and pet sitting (including cat sitting) in clients’ homes. I accept both advance bookings and last-minute requests when availability allows. Feel free to reach out to me directly with any questions or to schedule care. ❤️🐕🐈🌎
About: For more than 30 years I have been engaged in the maintenance, care and training of my pets. I love animals, taking care of pets gives me pleasure. I have had many different animals, I have experience in caring for turtles, fish, hamsters and cats. I am a video editor, but now I have little work and a lot of free time. I have enough time from Monday to Friday to walk the dogs from 9 am to 9 pm. Available on weekends by appointment. For me, dogs are a way of life, they have been with me since I was 10 years old. I have experience caring for a Giant Schnauzer and a Husky. I love active walks in the park, games and outdoor activities with the dog. I have experience in caring for a dog with epilepsy, I can give medicine, food and water.
About: NOTE: I charge $60 as my flat fee for 6 hours of homestays. After that I charge an extra $5 for each hour per dog. (this is negotiable for repeat clients). I am usually unavailable Tues/Thurs evenings after 6pm. I also only do overnight stays for repeat clients. Hi! I've been around both dogs and cats my whole life and have been a primary caretaker of everything from puppies and kittens to senior pets to pets with special needs. My own two cats can attest that I'm ready and willing to do everything I can to give them a good life. I'm energetic and dependable, I'm also strong so your big dog won't get a leg up on me! You can rely on me to bathe, walk, feed, give medication, or even just some extra love to your pet! I'm also good with boundaries, (important for cats especially) and have worked with breeds from toy Morkie's to giant Shepards! I’m a freelancer, so my schedule changes often, but I am usually free except for Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Those are usually reserved. I only do walks within a 20 minute train ride, but will do sittings all over the city! (Note: I charge a 10% cancellation fee if cancelled within 24 hrs of service) I am respectful of all wishes when it comes to drop-in visits and your home, and keep to common areas, I'm also willing and in fact, encourage picture updates of your pet's care (and to reassure you if you have anxiety over leaving your pet with a stranger like I sometimes do). As for walks, there are no headphones or any other distractions to me when I walk your pet. I stay along well lit streets, and aware of your dogs needs at all times.
“Amy took such good care of our cat Goose while we were away! She sent lots of photos and he was healthy and happy when we returned. She communicated and cleaned up his litter and vomit when he was sick one day. We would definitely have her watch him again!”
“Leeann was so wonderful! Great communication and fantastic with my usually shy kitty…he came right up and clearly felt very comfortable and cared for. Thank you so much for keeping Juno great company! 😸💗”
About: I grew up with a dog and also started taking care of neighbors’ cats since I was around 10. I especially love taking care of senior pets. I have a remote, part-time job that allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I can be available pretty much any time on weekdays. My parents have 4 senior dogs, so I understand how specific pet care instructions can get. Some need to be hand-fed, some have anxiety, etc. So whatever your animal needs, I’m here for it!
Coney Island cat parents share their Rover experiences
We had a wonderful experience with Tia and would absolutely book with her again. From the start, she was incredibly responsive and communicative, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. She clearly genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and it really showed in how attentive and thoughtful she was with our cat. We especially appreciated the regular updates and photos—she kept us well-informed and reassured the whole time. It was clear our cat was comfortable and well cared for, which means everything to us. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!
Ksenia is an amazing kitty sitter! She is very caring, responsible, and it’s clear that she truly loves animals. It was very comfortable working with her from the start. Everything was done perfectly, and we felt completely at ease knowing our cat was in such good hands. We would happily work with her again and highly recommend her! 🫂
I feel so comfortable knowing that my cat has been left in Barbara’s care. She pays close attention to his eating habits and keeps me updated, always plays with him and makes sure he gets treats and affection. I would highly recommend Barbara for any pets’ care.
This weekend was the second time Paulina came and watched our cats! She is always so thorough with her updates and photos, was very communicative and flexible about timing and so sweet with the cats - I always feel confident leaving them in her care! We came back to happy cats :)
This is not my first time to ask her to take care of my cat. She is experienced with cats and pays attention to details such as letting me know how much my cat eats and what’s in cat litter 🧐 Most importantly, she spends quality time with my cat! Plays and pets with her, and brush her fur 😻
It is always a pleasure to work with Meg, from start to finish. She is always very conscientious: if anything is unclear or if I forgot to leave instructions for something, she always asks and tries to find thr best solution. I trust her 100% with my kitty. Thank you!
Lena has been absolutely wonderful. She is extremely communicative and thorough with her visit feedback. I also appreciate her availability and flexibility. I know my cat is in good hands with her, she makes sure to accommodate play time, cuddles/pets, food and litter care and medicine administration each visit. I feel really lucky to have found her!
