“Janet & Spencer were great! They took our big puppy to the park and hung out with her to get her zoomies out. They also made sure she stayed cool during the very hot weather”

Zoe K.

“Elisabeth was wonderful to coordinate with and was extremely responsive and prompt. She gave a detailed account of his walk with many photos. I would love to work with her again!”

Amanda C.

“Natalie was great with my dog Daphne! I felt completely confident that Daphne was happy and safe in her care. Natalie was very responsive, sent lots of photos, and provided thorough updates after each visit. She followed all of my instructions closely, and Daphne seemed so happy and comfortable with her. I would absolutely book Natalie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and reliable dog walker or sitter!”

“Hannah was excellent! Reliable and communicative. My dog looks like he really enjoyed their walk from the photos”

“Mary walked Donut three times this week and did an excellent job. Donut had previously had a bad experience with a different walker and was feeling wary around new people, but Mary was gentle with her and helped Donut build back her trust 😄 I'd happily book with Mary again in the future.”

About: I’ve had cats my whole life, and have walked and cared for neighbors and family dogs just as long! happy to take care of special diets, litter boxes, and animals that need a little extra love. At the moment, I work as a freelance editor, which means I have the flexibility to check in on your fur babies at any time you might need! I’m brand new to rover, hoping to build up my clientele! So, for now, my prices are at the minimum. I have utmost respect for your privacy and space, and will clean up after any messes your cats may leave behind. Inviting someone into your home is stressful, but I will do my best to appear as if I wasn’t ever there. (Aside from the happy pets, of course.)

About: I've had experience caring for dogs my whole life and have worked with dogs of all ages. My dog Dodger lived until he was almost 18 so I understand how to treat elderly dogs with limited mobility. I've also had more recent experience pet-sitting for puppies. I love working with dogs and would love to walk yours! I'm a senior at NYU studying Music Business. I'm available to dog walk Monday, Wednesday, and Friday between 9am - 3pm. I'm happy to pick up and deliver your dogs from anywhere in my radius. In your home, I'm able to adjust to any specific procedure you may prefer! Outside, the dog will always stay on leash to ensure their safety!

About: I am a native New Yorker and grew up in an apartment with a large breed dog - I have extensive experience walking dogs in Manhattan and know how to keep your furry child safe and exercised. I have extensive experience watching senior dogs and puppies for our friends and family. I have a 6 year old Shiba Inu, Boris, who I've had since he was a puppy and trained. As any dog parent knows, the unexpected is expected with a pup, and my years of experience enable me to monitor behavior and habit and identify anything of concern. I 100% WFH and will always be with your pup. I live in NYC dog paradise in a private community filled with safe, clean paved sidewalks to stroll your pup! I am a business owner and I WFH, so your dog will never be left alone. I am available to take your pup out for walks throughout the day. Your dog will have a blast staying with us! We live in Stuyvesant Town which is a beautiful private community next to the East River filled with greenery, and clean, safe paved sidewalks to stroll on. Without car traffic, pups enjoy peaceful and nature-filled walks. We also have a small fenced-in dog run in our community that our pup enjoys, and I can take your pup there too if your pup is comfortable with, and behaves well in, social dog settings. While at home, your pup is welcome to lounge on the couch, in a dog bed, or even in our bed! If you have trained your dog not to lounge on furniture and/or have crate trained your dog, I can also accommodate that. As a dog dad myself, the most important thing for me is trust in the person watching Boris - that the sitter will love Boris like their own pup and that if should something unexpected happen, I can trust the sitter to take action appropriately. Rest assured that your pup will be loved and pampered just like Boris is, and will be walked by someone who is confident, assertive, and very observant. You should be able to enjoy your time away worry-free and knowing that your pup will be kept safe and happy!

“Onyx is always reliable, communicative, and responsible. I have trusted her to walk my dog Lucy every day and she has never missed a day without advanced notice. She always keeps me updated and pays close attention to any changes in behavior. I always felt that Lucy was safe and I didn't have to worry about her while I was at work. Unfortunately we are moving away or I would continue to use her service. I could not recommend her more!”

Jessica V.

“Sonya was friendly and flexible when our plans changed. She visited for a meet and greet, and my Goldendoodle warmed up to her right away. Glad to meet a nice and closeby sitter!”

About: DOG EXPERIENCE: I have been a supportive and loyal dog auntie for 7+ years to many of my closest friends! I have brought their dogs to my home, boarded at theirs, and provided ad hoc walking assistance and play sessions whenever needed for them. CAT EXPERIENCE: I am a lifelong cat parent! I had 2 cats growing up, both of which lived 10+ years with me in my childhood home! After moving to New York, my roommate and I co-parented her cat during our time together until she whisked him away to his permanent vacation home in SF. After moving into my own apartment, I adopted a 1 year old Tuxie who was FELV+. Caring for a cat with special health issues taught me how to be deeply attuned to appetite changes, litter habits, hydration, anxiety, etc. I also developed special skills such as administering various types of medications. While he unfortunately succumbed to his illness last year, I was able to adopt 2 three month old kitten siblings from the same shelter! I have learned through them the dynamics between male vs. female behaviors, post-surgery care with their spay and neuter, and navigating their growth spurts and the varying energy levels of young kittens. I have grown to truly understand what cats need most to thrive in their environments: routines, consistent play time and enrichment, reassurance, and just someone to feel fully safe with. What really drives me to pursue pet sitting is that I have had past experiences with sitters looking after my own pets that have not been satisfying, and since then I’ve been committed to providing support that is punctual and to a tee to the instructions given. I am primarily available on weekends Friday - Sunday at any given time needed starting from 6AM to as late as 11PM. There is flexibility on Mondays through Thursdays post 6PM based on the service required I understand how crucial it is to abide by your pets’ regular routine to a tee. New people are already anxiety-inducing and stressful for them as it is! When it comes to my own cats, I feed them 3x a day by my own hand, with snacks set up on an auto feeder twice a day. Cats need at least 30 mins of enrichment and novelty a day, so I typically play with them and introduce something new in the mornings and at night right before bed. I scoop their litter box 3x a day as well. I can also assist with any grooming needs such a nail clipping, teeth brushing, etc. For dogs, I have always walked them 3x a day for my friends and given at least 10 mins of playtime post walks.

About: I’ve grown up loving animals from when I was very young. Friends and family have always trusted me to take care of their loved ones. Whether it’s going out for a few daily walks or spending a few nights with us to get away, I’ve always been more than happy to help. If you’re looking for someone that you can trust and a place where your pet can feel loved and safe, I’d be more than happy to meet some new friends! Currently fully remote, so I have plenty of time throughout the day to make sure your pets are feeling loved and properly cared for. For overnight stays, we’re free any day during the week, and flexible on weekends depending on upcoming travel. My main priority is making sure that any dog or cat that I’m caring for feels comfortable early on. Making sure that they know that it’s a safe environment where they’re free to be themselves. Whether it’s multiple walks throughout the day or hours of playtime, I promise that’ll be the highlight of both of our days.

About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, kittens, horses and more for my friends, family, and shelters for nearly all my life. I am an avid animal-lover and would take care of your pets like they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate your specific pet’s needs. I have a flexible work from home schedule and can be available to stop by or stay all day depending on your needs. I am happy to meet you and your pet beforehand as well to make sure we are the right fit! I’m extremely communicative and adaptable! I care deeply about the safety and happiness of all animals, and would ensure your pet is completely taken care of and loved as you would love them. I am very communicative and would share photos/updates to you so you can travel with peace of mind.

About: Hi! I’m Esther - a lifelong animal lover who’s raised dogs from high school through adulthood and now has a pup of my own. I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby with someone new, and I care for every pet with the same patience, gentleness, and consistency I give my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and little quirks - from shy rescues to playful puppies to senior sweethearts who need extra support. I’m attentive to animal body language and emotional needs, and I always take the time to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and understood. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I can reliably drop in throughout the day - rain or shine - to keep your pet’s routine consistent. Whether your fur baby needs walks, meals, medication, enrichment time, or just extra cuddles, I’m happy to tailor my care to exactly what they need. Safety and cleanliness are extremely important to me. I always refresh water bowls, follow feeding routines closely, and make sure everything is secure before I leave. If you let me know where your trash can and cleaning supplies are, I’m more than happy to clean up any little “oopsies.” I can also vacuum or sweep up any litter that adventurous kitties might track around - whatever helps keep your home tidy and your pets comfortable. I also keep a close eye on pets at all times and send updates, photos, or videos so you always feel connected and at ease while you’re away.

“Abdelkader did a wonderful job walking Ducky - he came back nice and tired. The report card notes delivered were fabulous, too! Highly recommend. Thanks, Abdelkader!”
