Kristen was a special find for us on Rover when we had an unexpected, urgent need. We could not have been happier, and our dogs were very well cared for. It was a perfect match.

About: Former dog owner and shelter volunteer with over 15 years of experience. I’m a go-to sitter for friends and I’m an active runner on the Rockaway boardwalk. I'm very comfortable and capable with all temperaments and energy levels. I have a hybrid work schedule, where I work from home 3 days during the week, and would be able to take breaks for walks. Weekends I am free. I live in a 4th floor walk up that allows pets. Other tenants have dogs. I live less than 1 block away from the boardwalk and beach for walks.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 11 years of hands on experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities. I have a 3 year old Maltese-Spitz mix from Uganda. I provide gentle, patient care, and treat every pet like my own - with love, safety, and lots of affection. I currently work remotely, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to care for your furry family member. Your pet will receive consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every dog. Building trust is key - I make sure your furry family member feels secure, happy, and care for, whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet moments at home.

About: Hi! I’m Narsing, an experienced and dependable pet caregiver with 5+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and active while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has its own routine and personality, so I take time to learn their habits, energy level, feeding schedule, and comfort needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, calm companionship, or extra patience and attention, I adapt to what makes them happiest. I’m reliable, punctual, patient, and attentive to details. I can help with: • Daily walks • Feeding & fresh water • Playtime & companionship • Photo and video updates for peace of mind I’m excited to meet your furry family member and provide loving, trustworthy care! I have a very flexible schedule and am available anytime — mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’m happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever you need. Safety is always my top priority. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel cared for, happy and stress-free while you’re away

About: I have been a in-home pet sitter for the past six years for a medium size dog who had special needs as a puppy. I also am a pet photographer and have done pet portraits and holiday cards! I recently lost my beloved dog Zoey, who I had for over 12 years. I love dogs deeply, and welcome them into my home. I am available on a part time basis with more availability during the summer months. Weekends are ideal but I can be available after 5pm on weekdays or early morning. I live in a pet friendly apartment building, in a dog friendly neighborhood! My apartment is in the smaller side but dog and cat safe!

About: I have been caring for dogs ever since I can remember and in particular I started caring for them professionally around 5 years ago. I have yet to meet a dog I could not handle, even ones that people would call big and scary. I believe this comes from a firmly held belief that if you treat a dog right, they will stand by you forever. I am experienced with dogs from young to old, small to large, and docile to super hyper. I attempt to accommodate any and all requests to the best of my abilities. In addition I would be more than happy to meet a prospective client free of charge before watching their pet. In general, I am available nightly starting at 7 PM except for Fridays where I am unavailable. Wednesday nights and the Saturday nights I am available from 9:30 PM and onwards. Sundays, I am available all day. In general, I do not watch dogs in my own home. In regards to the pet Owner’s home I do whatever I can to accommodate all safety requests and needs.

About: I took care of my first family dog from when she was a puppy until she passed away from old age at 15 years old. I’ve also taken care of other family members elderly dogs and walked them before. I work from home so I have flexible availability in my day and can walk dogs throughout the day while their parents are at work. I have a 7-year-old cat, Rye, and a 1-year-old puppy, Whiskey. Rye stays engaged with plenty of toys, a moving water bowl, and an automatic feeder and litter box. I make sure he eats healthy food, stays well-groomed, and gets plenty of love. Whiskey gets the same level of care—proper nutrition, exercise, training, and affection—to keep him happy and healthy.

Juan is an amazing person. I am grateful to have him interact with my baby (Rick). He is really good with animals, very understanding, kind, responsible, friendly, and easy going. From the first time he interacted with my dog, I knew all will be well, because my dog was calm. Rick (my dog) is looking forward to future visit. I would highly recommend Juan.

About: I've got the " Mommy can I have A puppy?""experience. My daughter got a puppy when she was 5 years old for her birthday Guess who took care of it? Me. Then I took her trick or treating at 8 years old and instead of of coming back with candy, we came back home with a pit bull puppy cause this guy had a rope around his neck trying to get rid of it. Guess who took care of it? Me. Then 10 years ago she wanted another puppy. She ended up getting 2 , a sister and brother. She promised she would take care of of them and be responsible for them. Guess who took care of of them? Me. She's 30 years old now and nothing has changed. I'm still the sole care giver. Need I say more?

About: I’ve worked at the Brooklyn zoo and aquarium in Brooklyn as a teen. Then worked my way to volunteering at my local animal shelter. I’ve always had a love for animals. Now I foster dogs and cats till they find their forever homes. Even family and friends ask me to watch their pets on occasion. I’ve done dog walking and boarding for many years now as well and I would love to continue to provide for animals rain or shine. I currently work from home so the most I leave for are some social events here and there or groceries. I have transportation if pick up and drop off is needs as well. I have a gated yard around my apartment. There grass and all the other animals in the building run around and use the property. I provide at least three walks/potty breaks a day, take time to train and reward. I’ve giving medication and baths on request as well.
