Pet Sitting Downtown

“Natalie took great care of Fern while I was out for the day! Timely and communicative and was down for a meet and greet with her prior to her scheduled walks. Thanks Natalie!”

“Joslyn was amazing with my cats. She was very professional and ensured to take care of my house and also ensuring the cats had everything they needed. My fearful cat only took one day to settle in and come out for pets from Joslyn. Will definitely work with her again when next I need a sitter.”

About: Animals have always been one of the greatest joys in my life. I grew up with three cats and have spent years caring for friends' pets. I'm the kind of person who talks to animals, notices their moods, and somehow ends up making friends with them wherever I go. I genuinely love spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, adventures, playtime, or simply having someone nearby, I'll happily adapt to their personality and routine. I'm active, reliable, attentive, and will always follow your care instructions carefully. Your pet will be treated like family. I currently have a flexible schedule, which means I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. I genuinely enjoy being around animals. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, adventures, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I'm happy to adapt to their routine and personality. Every pet is different, so I always follow the owner's routine, preferences and care instructions. I live in a pet-friendly apartment building with a secure, fenced rooftop pet area. I don't have any pets or children of my own, which allows me to give your pet my full attention and provide a calm environment. I'm active, reliable, and attentive and I enjoy long walks, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel at home and for you to have complete peace of mind while you're away 🤍

“Carolyn is so great with our lab Morty! She’s always very responsive and is flexible with last minute requests and changes! Will always keep her at the top of our list!”

About: Hi, I'm Femke. A lifelong animal lover, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for friends, family, and neighbors for almost a decade. What started as a hobby quickly became something I couldn’t imagine not doing. Now, I’m excited to turn my passion for dogs into a full-time career, preparing for a degree in Cynology (dog behavior) next year. With hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, I’ve developed a calm, patient, and intuitive approach. I’ve walked high-energy pups who need structure and stimulation, cared for seniors who require slower walks and medication, and provided companionship to anxious or shy dogs who just need someone gentle and understanding. I’m confident in handling leash reactivity, administering basic medications, and keeping routines consistent to help dogs feel safe and secure. My focus is always on building trust, so your dog feels comfortable with me, and fully enjoys the time we spend together. I’m studying part-time to prepare for my Cynology (dog behavior) degree next year, and have no other major commitments - your dog gets my full attention. My days revolve around walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays, so I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and (most) holidays. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I take the time to build trust with each dog, starting with a meet-and-greet to understand their routines, triggers, and preferences. During walks, I always use secure leashes and harnesses and stick to safe, familiar routes. I will not do off-leash unless in client-approved spaces and with your explicit consent. When caring for pets in your home, I maintain your routines, respect your space, and provide real-time updates with photos and notes, so you’re always in the loop. My goal is to give you peace of mind and give your dog(s) the care and companionship they deserve.

About: As a calm and dependable caregiver, I’ve successfully helped two Chihuahuas and an Australian Blue Heeler peacefully coexist in one home. If I can manage that dynamic with patience, care, and consistency, your pet will be in great hands. I currently work from home while running my own cosmetics company, which gives me a highly flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive, reliable, and consistent care for your pets throughout the day to late evenings. I believe pets thrive when they’re given both attention and healthy outlets for their energy. For dogs, I enjoy taking them on walks, park visits, and play sessions tailored to their comfort level and their owner’s preferences. If appropriate and approved, I’m comfortable supervising off leash time in safe fenced areas or open parks with well behaved pets. For cats, I make sure they receive patience, affection, and interactive play time so they stay stimulated, relaxed, and comfortable while their owner is away. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, cared for, and well rested by the time their family returns home.

“Polina is great! So sweet with my super shy puppy and even stayed longer than planned to get him comfortable with her. She’s very communicative and showed up right on time. We hope she’ll come back again!”

“Anita did a great job with my two cats, sending updates every time, helping make sure they were taken care of and comfortable and even cleaning up when they made a little mess. She also arranged a visit to chat before she started to one see them. She clearly loves animals and would use her again to watch my cats.”

About: Hello ! Although I am new to Rover, I've taken care of dogs and cats most of my life and have always had a natural connection with them. When they're in my care I treat them as if they are my own babies. In recent years I have often taken care of my sister's dog Juniper who I view as my niece :) We have a special bond and she's taught me so much about being a dog aunt :) I helped train her as a puppy and watching her grow up has been a source of so much joy in my life. Many people have observed my warm way with animals especially cats and dogs. I am very attentive and affectionate with them. With that said I also know how to read them and respect their space/needs. I am currently a full time student so I am working mostly gigs. I am attending summer classes through July. I am flexible most of the week including weekends. I am available to dog or cat sit. If your dog or cat has special needs I am able to provide basic support and care. I am also available for dog walking services as well.

About: Hello! My name’s Sara and I would love to care for your fur babies! I work fully remote on East Coast hours, which means I’m free after 2 on weekdays, anytime on weekends, and can work from your home. My Experience & Background: 🐾 I grew up with dogs and started pet-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors when I was 10. In college, I walked and did drop-in visits for dogs on Wag!, with a 5-star rating. 🐾 In college, my roommates had cats that didn't always get along, so I have plenty of experience managing and sitting for feisty, shy, and territorial cats. 🐾 I now have two cats of my own who are my entire world. I wear the "crazy cat lady" title proudly :) I’m a devoted fan of Jackson Galaxy and I’m currently reading and working through the Click! Cat Training System with my own cats. I’m happy to do some clicker training with your cat if you like! What You Can Expect From Me: Because I’ve used Rover for my own pets, I know how important regular updates and pictures are to peace of mind. No need to feel embarrassed asking me for pictures every hour because I’ve been there😅 I am very responsive so you can expect immediate responses and as many updates as you like. And of course, I will deeply respect your home, privacy, and instructions. Services I Provide: Feeding, fresh water, scooping litter, playtime/exercise, grooming, brushing, and administering medication. If you need something else, just ask! I’m happy to do a free meet-and-greet with you and your pet to ensure we’re the perfect fit. I can't wait to meet your pets! I am a cat mom so I’m constantly on the care giving clock. I work from home with my cats on my lap. I feed my own cats three times a day and scoop litter 1-2 times a day. I also incorporate lots of playtime into my daily routine. I will hold myself to the same high standard with your animals, while my partner takes care of our babies. I can only come to your place to care for your animals as I don’t want to put my own babies through the risk of other animals coming in and out. I will of course follow your instructions and leave the place as I found it.

“Absolutely wonderful. Andreya took excellent care of our cats. She is a gem of an old soul who loves animals. Your fur babies are in competent caring hands with Andreya. Going to book her again.”

About: As a dog owner myself, I understand that pets are family. Whether it's keeping up with an energetic puppy, providing patience and comfort for a senior dog, or sticking to your pet's routine, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I'm reliable, communicative, and committed to giving pet parents peace of mind while they're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially during the summer. As an Athletic Director on summer break, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, or simply providing companionship, I can be available throughout the day to ensure your pet receives the care, exercise, and attention they deserve. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet. In a client's home, I follow their pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with regular exercise, supervision, and opportunities for play and relaxation. My goal is to make pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind through reliable communication and updates.

“Ariana was so patient with our reluctant little cat. She was very responsive and even went above and beyond to bring one of our packages up from our lobby. We hope she’s available next time we need a sitter!”

About: I'm a teacher on sabbatical with a very flexible schedule and a pet sitting side gig for the last 11 years. I have experience caring for cats as well as dogs of all sizes. As a volunteer at Muttville, I am also super comfortable with senior pups and understand their unique needs (and charms!). I'm a cat owner (shout-out Kumie and Pam!) and use Rover myself, so I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you leave your pet. I'm responsible, reliable, and can always be counted to care for your pet like it's my own. I'm currently on sabbatical from my teaching job so I have a lot of availability, especially during the week. Most days I am available 8 am to 10 pm, but can make accommodations if necessary. I almost always require a pre-visit Meet & Greet before my first visit with your pet to make sure I understand all of your furbaby's unique needs. I promise clear communication including frequent updates and photos. I'll follow your schedules and routines regarding feedings, bathroom breaks, and walks to make sure your pet is comfortable and safe.

“Ajaya is a wonderful sitter who took great care of our four kitty cats. She communicated regularly and sent pictures helping us feel close to our cats even while we were gone. Definitely recommend her.”
