Dog Sitting Fairview

About: I'm Back and Excited to Care for Your Fur Babies!! 🐾 After taking some time away to help my daughter with my new grandchildren, I'm excited to be back on Rover! Caring for animals has always brought me so much joy, and I'm looking forward to welcoming your furry family member into my home. I've had dogs and cats my entire life and have always been the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends. I recently lost my sweet dog of 15 years, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I promise to care for yours with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want for my own. Why pet parents choose me: ❤️ Loving, calm, home environment 🐶 Pets are welcome on my couch and bed (unless you prefer otherwise!) 🐱 Experienced with both cats and dogs 💊 Comfortable giving oral medications 🏠 Pet-friendly building with great walking areas nearby 📸 Daily photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing 🛏️ Large 42-inch crate available if your dog is crate-trained 🐈 Large litter box available for feline guests My Schedule I work Monday through Thursday about 20 minutes from home, so I come home at lunchtime for potty breaks and walks when needed. On Fridays I work from home, and I'm home most weekends, so your pet gets plenty of attention and companionship. Every pet has their own personality and routine, and I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys playing, cuddling, relaxing, or simply sticking to their normal schedule, I'll make sure they feel right at home. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member! I work Monday - Thursday 9 to 5 twenty mins from home so I can come home at lunchtime to walk or feed your fur baby if necessary and I work from home on Fridays! I also wake up at 6 am every day so I can walk and/or feed your pet before I leave to work Mon-Thurs. Friday - Sunday I am home all day. I love snuggling and playing with pets so they can hop on the couch or bed with me or I can easily crate your dog if needed! I have waterproof protective pet covers on my furniture so that's all covered! Additionally, My dog had health issues so I got pretty good at giving him his pills with pill pockets etc! I also have my own large dog crate (42 inches). So no need to bring a crate if your dog requires a crate! I also have a large kitty litter tray.

“Laura is very kind, gentle and prioritized the needs of my cat Levy excellently! I will definitely be requesting Laura’s expertise again very soon :)!”

About: I am my neighborhood’s designated pet watcher and I also own three big dogs of my own. I have experience with very energetic dogs as well as dogs with anxiety. My dog Bear has epilepsy so unfortunately, I am used to giving medication and taking care of his special needs. I am a college student at Columbia University working a part-time remote job this summer with the US government. My schedule is super flexible. I wanted to find another job that I would always enjoy. I am currently working a part-time remote job at a consulting firm this summer. I am a rising junior in college with a car and loads of time. I am willing to drive just about anywhere and make sure your beloved pets are safe while you are away. I am very reliable, prompt and professional.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I actually begged my parents to let me get a dog, promising them that I would be responsible and take great care of him—and I’ve kept that promise ever since! Taking care of my own dog has taught me how much patience, attention, and love pets need every day. I’ve taught my dog eight different tricks, and I love spending time training, playing, and going on walks with him. Whenever I’m at my grandma’s, I always make sure to walk and spend time with her dog too. More recently, I’ve started dog-sitting for friends, which has given me even more experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a freelance dancer, so I have a flexible schedule and make my own hours. This allows me to make time in my day to give pets the attention and care they need. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping your pet company, and I’m happy to work around their normal routine. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I’m flexible and willing to adjust my schedule to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they are always in a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special routines or rules. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep pets away from anything unsafe, and always pay attention to their behavior and needs. I want every pet to feel comfortable, loved, and at home while their owner is away. I’ll also keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.

“Wonderful care, loved the pictures and appreciate your friendliness with the kitties, good to feel like they are left in good hands! Would happily have julia take care of my pets again.”

About: I have 4 years of personal pet care experience and 1 year in professional experience with pets, from dog walking to doggy daycares! I’ve dog walked many senior dogs, as well as dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ll be sure to follow any requests needed to bond with your fur baby and make sure they have the best time! I’ve worked with many companies from daycares to walking businesses. But I’ve been a personal dog walker for around a year now and I’d love to form a strong bond with your pups when needed! I shower my dogs with cuddles and loads of pet time at home. Once I can build a special bond with your fur baby I’ll be sure to treat them like my own!

“Chi Leuk did a fantastic job dropping in to take care of Coconut! He was extremely patient, careful, and attentive throughout the entire visit. He followed all instructions provided and made sure Coconut was well-fed and comfortable. You can tell he truly cares about the animals in his care. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and considerate sitter!"”

About: I recently said goodbye to my 18-year-old senior pup who was still as active and playful as when he was a puppy, even in his last weeks with us. I was his main caretaker since we adopted him when I was 10-years-old, so I have plenty of experience caring for dogs and prioritize keeping them safe and happy! We also had other dogs growing up, so I am used to caring for multiple dogs, dogs of various ages and sizes, and dogs of all energy levels. Specifically, as my doggo aged, I gained a lot of experience with medicine routines, slower walks, attention to health details, and all other requirements of caring for senior dogs. In college, I would housesit for families with all kinds of pets (including rabbits, geese and chickens!) and this helped me pay part of my school costs. However, I enjoyed caring for other's pets so much, I have continued to do so for years after college! I love getting to know new furry friends and making sure they are happy, exercised, well-fed, and enjoying themselves while their parents are away! I am currently working part-time, and often only for a few hours in the evening, so I have lots of time and flexibility to care for you pup, prioritizing being available for prime walking hours in the sunshine! I am willing to work around my part-time hours to meet your dog's routine needs. I am willing to care for the dogs in your home so they are comfortable in their own spaces and can generally keep their normal routines. I am flexible and willing to follow any instructions about your space that you provide.

“Mia did a phenomenal job taken care of my two kitties. Excellent communication, incredibly responsible, and followed the care instructions perfectly. Everything was perfect. Her love for animals is clear through her dedication to providing high quality care. Strongly recommended! Thank you Mia!”

About: I’ve been taking care of my dog since she was a tiny puppy, and I treat her like my own little child. I do the same for other people’s pets too - I love to give them food, give them some cuddles, and make sure they’re happy. And always remember to give your furry friend a special treat! As a remote worker, I find flexibility in my work schedule. I enjoy incorporating outdoor walks into my daily routine, which allows me to connect with nature and exercise while having the flexibility to do so with my dog. Through play, companionship, and nourishment. Will stay by the dog and keep the place organized and clean so it is a fair space for the house and the dogs

About: Hi there, my name is Sophia and I’ve been around dogs and cats since I can remember! Growing up I had an adorable chocolate-Labrador named Leo (short for Leonardo da Vinci) and our loving cat Cookie! We now have two Golden Retrievers named Beau and Milou who love to hike, swim, wrestle, play, & of course treats! We also have a sweet King Charles Cavalier named Gigi who loves cuddles. Whether it’s dogs or cats, I enjoy taking care of animals and understand how special they are in someone’s life. Looking forward to meeting yours! I am very flexible and active. As an athlete, I love to stay fit with daily walks and being around animals is the best way to enjoy Central Park, UWS, or any routes along the way. They love to stop and smell the dirt, and that’s the whole point! I am a very reliable, compassionate and mature person. I’m also only a text away and easy to check in with. I’d keep you fully updated and in the loop!

About: My pet care experience began in 2022 when I helped care for and raise my grandmother’s domestic shorthair cat, whom I still treat like my own. Before 2022, I grew up caring for family dogs, gaining experience with handling, grooming, and caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Since 2023, I have volunteered at the ASPCA, where I’ve learned from animal care professionals about providing animals with patience, compassion, attention, and consistent routines. I now try to bring these experiences to pet sitting, intending to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and like family while in my care. Hi, and welcome! I’m Ariana, and I’m a part-time dog handler at a doggy daycare, but decided to start pet sitting in 2024 to expand my skills and experiences to help more fur babies thrive! I’m available Monday–Friday with weekends off, giving me a flexible schedule for pet care. My job is also aware that I do pet sitting, so I can always let them know if I need to make any arrangements with my shifts to match your pet’s routine. If anything, feel free to review my calendar for more details on my availability. ¡También hablo algo de español! I live in a small apartment, but I will ensure it’s spacious, clean, and pet-friendly, ready for your pet’s arrival so they can be comfortable, with enough space to play, run, and sleep anywhere they like. I also live with family, including my two younger siblings, aka my two little active helpers, who make sure to be gentle, patient, attentive, and willing to always give me a hand with your pet so they’re never alone or bored.

“Jenny was absolute perfection, following every single detail of our care instructions without missing a beat. She kept us constantly in the loop with helpful updates and pictures so we always knew how our cats were doing. When unexpected changes arose with our cats' needs, she accommodated our last-minute extra requests. Knowing they were in such attentive hands made being away completely stress-free!”

About: I have worked with cats and dogs over the past 8 years. I have a cat of my own and have fostered, rescued and socialized stray cats. I also have experience walking dogs and taking them out on pee and poop breaks! I love animals and would love to take care of your pets so you can travel carefree! I work a hybrid tech job so I can come by during the mornings and evenings and might be more flexible during the day depending on the day of the week. Please drop a message so we can figure out the schedule! I am very meticulous when it comes to pet safety - whether it is looking out for an approaching dog, caring for a cat/dog that is a shy/skittish etc.

About: I have lived with and loved dogs for most of my life. I genuinely treat dogs as part of the family and always ensure that they have enough exercise, food, and affection to live happy & fulfilling doggie lives. I have experience walking and sitting dogs of all sizes. Your dog is guaranteed to get loads of love and attention from me. I have a hybrid work schedule, so I would have plenty of time to care for your dog. I am also physically active in my daily life, and would love for your dog to join me in getting my steps in! I care for pets by making sure their needs have all been met before I start my day. Before leaving the house on a walk I ensure that the collar and leash are secure and there are no possibilities of the dog escaping. Inside the home I ensure that the floor is cleaned up so that the dog is unable to get into anything potentially poisonous or ruin its owners belongings.

“Melanie did a wonderful job checking in on my sweet cats while I was away. They are shy but they even came out to see her! She was very professional, reliable, and took great care of their needs. I definitely recommend Melanie!”

About: Hi! I’m a Columbia University graduate student trying to get by. I have taken care of a large range of animals including hamsters, geckos, cats, and dogs. Friends and family have both trusted me with their furry friends. I treat animals like they’re my own (I spoil my cat son Hugo) and make sure to receive the best care! I work a full time job, but I am available on all evenings after 5 and mornings before 9am. I am also available during all hours of the day on weekends. I live in an apartment, but I am happy to watch your pets at your home. If needed, my apartment has a lot of space, and I live in a walkable, dog friendly neighborhood near a park!

“Nice guy, he let Petey bring his favorite toy on the walk, fed and gave him water as requested, he was a responsible. I would book with him again. Thanks Ramazan”
