About: Whether you require regular daytime walks, occasional drop-in visits, or overnight sitting, you can count on me to treat your pet like a precious, irreplaceable gem! I’m the pawrent of a Pekingese dog, two Exotic Shorthair cats, and a Persian cat. I am also a foster meowmie for other kitties. I have experience with senior and special-needs pets, including as a volunteer dog walker for PAWS NY, an organization that helps people in need keep their pets in their lives. I will send you lots of photos and videos so you can be fully informed about the well-being of your pet/s. I am self-employed as a designer and writer and quite flexible time-wise. In addition to dogs and cats, I’m also happy to care for bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, birds, and other exotic pets. I’ve read some horror stories about overnight sitters, as I’m sure you have. If I am house-sitting for you, I will be staying overnight in your home, so your pet will be in its usual environment. If you choose daycare or boarding with me, I will be staying overnight with your pet in a secure, cozy apartment with a fenced-in backyard (my own dog and cats won’t be present). I don’t walk dogs off leash and I don’t open windows for the safety of small dogs and cats. If your animal has any symptoms of illness, you’ll be advised immediately. If it’s hot out, I will ask that we run the A/C for the health of your pet. The well-being of your pet is as important to me as the well-being of my own pets.
About: I miss my pets in Taiwan! 2 yorkshires, 2 Maltese, and 1 parrot. They make me so happy. I'd love to love your dogs and cats, and receive their joyful spirit and companionship! I'm an architecture student at Columbia University. I want to dedicate some free time to loving our furry friends. Not only does this make me happy, I get inspiration and creativity, too. Helping an animal lover and a designer is your support to this neighborly community! Warm regards to you, too :) I am responsible and attentitive. I have pet food, beds, and toys at home. I am clean and tidy upon visiting. I can walk your dogs many times a day. You may also let me know your pets' special needs.
“Jay and his partner Ana were incredible. Jay was highly communicative, accommodating and good with our puppy Kona. They went above and beyond to not only set up Kona’s crate and send us cute updates every few hours but also take her to the groomer’s for us and liaison between us and the groomer for that appointment. I know Kona had such a blast with their dog Dani and a visiting one, it was a really ideal daycare situation! We’ll for sure be back to them when we need help again.”
“We had such a great experience with Alyssa! Interactions were very positive including meeting up beforehand, great communication throughout the stay with photos and updates, and just a really nice person who makes you feel comfortable leaving your pup with. Thanks Alyssa!”

Her expertise lies in understanding the complex relationships between humans and non-human animals, particularly in the realms of wildlife conservation and pet companionship. To her, the term “pet” is not a mere label—some are family, some are teammates, and some are lifelong friends. Hazel has spent over 18 years caring for animals, having personally raised and bonded with dogs, cats, rabbits, parrots, koi fish, pythons, and even racehorses.

Her conservation work was even recognized by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) as one of the top 10 global environmental case studies. Now based in Manhattan, NYC (10019), Hazel dedicates her time to writing a book about her extraordinary encounters with animals.

“Mikey was an incredible host! He is so kind, patient, understanding and sent so many updates throughout my pup's stay. He really took good care of him, and I am so grateful that he was so accommodating. And, Kimchi is such an incredible hostess! ☺️ She is so sweet and such a fun playmate that my pup, who has a separation anxiety with me, was more interested in playing with Kimchi than being happy to see me when I picked him up. Thank you both! 🐾”
“Ana and Luis were great with Luna! I really loved how kind, patient, and communicative they were. They were super understanding about her separation anxiety, which made me feel more at ease. Luna went on plenty of walks and even got to enjoy a trip to the park. I’d definitely have them watch her again!”
“Absolutely amazing! I was very satisfied with Yuan and Ian’s care for Cookie! They were responsive and provided me with peace of mind knowing that my little lady was in good hands. I will definitely rebook them!”

“Genesis was a perfect sitter for my two cavapoo puppies. She was very attentive to instructions sent photos and videos throughout the day. I could tell they had lots of fun playing with her dogs and cane back rested and happy. She was very undestanding as it was a last minute book and timing was an issue. She responded quickly and was very accommodating. Would highly recommend!”

“Xander was such a nice, thoughtful, and attentive dog-loving guy. When he took care of my Mochi-chan (baby bulldog), he treated him like his own baby. He took Mochi-chan outside for a walk, fed him 5 times a day properly, and played with him using Mochi-chan’s favorite fake-bone toy! I already recommend Xander to my best Friend Joe and he loved the way Xander treated his dog, too. I will definitely recommend Xander to all the pet-lovers.”

East Harlem dog parents share their Rover experiences
Seahorse absolutely loved his time with Nicole! He looked like he was having a blast from all the text updates, and he was instantly comfortable in her home. I will definitely be booking again!! She was super communicative, thoughtful, and genuinely happy to spend time with Seahorse.
Ceren is an amazing caretaker! I genuinely looked forward to the updates on my dog’s adventures—almost as much as he seemed to enjoy having them! From the very beginning, it was clear how strongly Rupert bonded with her, which gave me such peace of mind. She’s not only responsible and caring, but also highly knowledgeable about dogs. She knew exactly how to keep him calm and ease his anxiety when we left. We’re confident Rupert will be thrilled to see her again, and we feel so fortunate to have found such a great caregiver. We highly recommend her!
Mint is a wonderful, caring dog sitter who has made Sully, my 13 year old diabetic Maltese, feel so at ease. She has been very available and accommodating for our day care or overnight stay needs. She consistently walks sully, sends us pictures, and also gives his insulin injections when needed. It’s truly rare to find someone who can provide Sully the care and comfort that she has.
Lesley is an absolutely amazing sitter! So responsive and gave tons of updates throughout the day. Willow comes home tired and happy! Willow also gets super excited when she realizes we’re outside Lesley’s for drop off. Would definitely recommend booking with Lesley to take care of your fur babies!
Maria was amazing. She really LOVES dogs. Maria sent TONS of photos of Luna and kept us updated throughout the day. She walked Luna a great distance and Luna didn't want to leave her when she dropped her back off to us. I could not ask for anything more. Maria is the reason we use Rover instead of a boarding/doggy day care place.
She was exceptional the way she was understanding and how much she cared for my puppy. The day I had was crazy but she made it’s so much easier. She kept an update of how my puppy was doing through the day. My puppy loves her! Definitely someone you should book to care for your pet.
Agustina is great!! She’s great with dogs, very intuitive about how to approach them and what they need - my pup took to both her and her wife immediately, and is always so happy and comfortable with them. Agustina keeps in touch and sends pictures throughout the day (pics where my pup is always smiling and living her best life :) ). I know my dog is in good hands and well taken care of whenever she’s at Agustina’s. She’s also willing to work around my crazy work hours, which I really appreciate. Highly recommend her!
