About: Hello! My name is Cameron, and everyone who knows me knows I love animals (especially dogs!). I work from home and have another dog-loving, work from home roommate, so someone will always be home to play with your pet. I've been doing Rover for 4 years and have experience with all different breeds, sizes, ages, and needs. I'm a punctual person and take pet care very seriously. Ultimately, I am a passionate animal lover and will treat your fur-baby with all the love and respect they deserve :) I'm a homebody who works from home with another WFH roommate, so I can guarantee that your fur baby will be cared for 24/7. I love incorporating dog walking/boarding into my routine and even taking them to dog-friendly events if the dog is interested. My schedule is very flexible and I'm usually available for same-day bookings! I'm an early-riser who loves routines and can stick to a consistent exercise/feeding schedule. When sitting/boarding, I can ensure your dog is let out frequently, fed regularly, and getting lots of attention. I’ll take them for long walks in the sun or snuggle inside when it's cold. As much as I love to play games and snuggle with pets when they're missing their owner, it's important to me that I cater to the animal's desires to make them comfortable. Whether your pet is active, lazy, shy, aggressive, or in need of a good round of fetch at Tompkins Square dog park, their safety and happiness is my top priority. I understand that every dog is different and will work to accommodate their preferences. Additionally, I adore taking photos of pets and I'd be happy to share photo updates of our time together. You can rest easy knowing your pet is safe, loved, and having a great time! Please note that I have moved from the East Village to Little Italy, and most of the photos on my profile are from my old apartment.

This was our first time using Rover, and Andrea went above and beyond to set us at ease while we were away from our pups. Andrea was extremely professional and has so much experience with animals—it truly showed in their energy around our pets during our initial meet and greet. One of our dogs struggles with aggression on walks, and Andrea handled them so well. Our other dog is elderly and deaf, which Andrea had no troubles taking care of. Definitely think our pups enjoyed their visits with Andrea, and we hope to use their services again in the future!

I am so happy I left my two cats with Abdelkader! It was my first trip away from my boys since I adopted them and I was an anxious mess, but Abdelkader eased my tension because he was just so wonderful with my boys. They loved him and I came back home to some very happy cats. I appreciated the regular updates and photos he sent, which allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing my sweet boys were happy and well cared for.

Melissa was such a wonderful pet sitter for my cat June over the 4th of July weekend. From the start, she was super thoughtful. She came over beforehand for a meet and greet to go over all of June’s needs and asked great questions that showed how much she genuinely cares. She has such a calm, friendly presence that instantly made me feel at ease. While I was away, Melissa was incredibly communicative and kept me updated every time she visited, which I really appreciated. She played with June, gave her lots of attention, and even handled a mini crisis like a pro when June somehow locked herself in the bathroom! Melissa made sure she was safe, calmed her down, and went above and beyond to make sure she felt comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive cat sitter. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again next time I travel!

I am so happy that I found Xiaochan to watch Mushu while I was away! She took such good care of her and always sent me plenty of pictures and kept me posted throughout. This was my first time leaving Mushu for an extended period of time, and I looked forward to receiving Xiochan's updates each day and really noticed a bond form between the two of them. My apartment was left spotless with a fresh litter box and a verry happy Mushu! Thank you Xiaochan!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was twelve when I first got my dog. His name was Jackie and he grew into a 100 pound black lab. He passed away four years ago and since then I have been working with the Service Dog project which trains Great Danes for people who “experience balance and mobility issues.” I am planning on using this job as supplemental income as I attend graduate school. I am pretty flexible and available most times during the week except for when I have classes. I have some commitments in the evening and I row in the early mornings on Tuesdays, Sundays and some Fridays but the rest of the days I’m available. I am very communicative, responsible, and committed to being the best person to care for your pets that I can be. I will provide as much communication with you about your pet as you would like. Thank you for considering me!

Tatyana helped us feel so comfortable and confident while we were traveling. She sent so many photos of both of our kitties and played with them, while also knowing exactly how to read their cues (one is playful, the other is more anxious and distant). We are so grateful and will definitely ask her to watch them again!!!!

Savanna was an excellent cat sitter; I can’t recommend her enough! She was incredibly attentive to our cat, paying close attention to her needs and spending lots of time playing and engaging with her. It was clear she genuinely cared and built a special bond with her while we were away, making us feel at ease. The best part were the detailed updates she sent after each visit (+ many photos!!!) Her writing captured the personality of our cat and made us feel like we were there. Savanna is also easy to communicate with. We always felt confident that our cat was in great hands with her.

Paige was excellent for checking in on my cat over three days and sent detailed reports and photos that really helped reassure me on my first trip away from home in a while. My cat seemed to really take to her, sitting and playing with her, instead of hiding under the bed like she usually would with strangers. Great job!
