“Christopher was communicative, caring, and receptive. He provided a great help to me over the weekend and he will be the first one I reach out to again for assistance.”

“Schirn was incredible! She made sure to give updates and showed a lot of love for my girl. My flight was delayed and she extended an extra night for us. I truly am so grateful for someone caring for our dog this way!!”

“Jewel was quick to respond to my request and asked many good questions before agreeing to house sit. She also wanted to have a meet and greet before our appointment which I really appreciated. She is very communicative, thorough in terms of what is expected and knowing what the dogs need, and very good-humored; she even took notes during our meeting. The dogs were immediately comfortable with her and I was perfectly confident leaving them in her care. She gave me updates during the day, and everything was great when I returned. The dogs were happy and so was I. I would certainly request her to stay with them again.”

“Camille was so professional, communicative and responsive to our dogs needs! We really appreciated the photos and videos she sent of our dog while we were out of town and missed him! He fell in love with her the second he met her, as she is really great with animals and reading their behavior and personalities. I would absolutely recommend Camille for all of your pets needs!”

“Vanessa was great with our dog and guinea pig while my family was away. She was communicative, sent pictures and videos, followed all our instructions and took great care of our house . We will definitely use her again.”


“Avery was great with our dogs! She kept in frequent contact and I could tell the pups were well loved the entire time. I would absolutely recommend Avery and hope to use her again in the future. ?”

My time is dedicated to caring for, accompanying, and playing with your puppies. I offer a flexible schedule to look after them and give them playtime whenever they need it.

“Cailey was wonderful with our pup! She was very attentive and went above and beyond to make sure our pup was taken care of. She also provided us with daily updates. Will be using Cailey again in the future!”

“Maddieson was an absolutely amazing sitter to our cat and dog while we went out of town. She took excellent care of them and our place, and sent plenty of photos so we knew they were in great hands. Will definitely book again!!”

“Isabel was great. Listened to all of Maggie’s quirks and was extremely open to all the advice we dumped on her before we left. We felt very comfortable knowing she was there with Maggie. Fully recommend and would definitely book again.”


About: I just graduated from Boston University and am now back home in NYC! I would love to be able to look after my neighborly cats and dogs and make sure they are taken care of while their loved ones are away. :) I take the time to learn each pet’s quirks, and comfort spots before day one, and I send regular photo and video updates so you're never left wondering how things are going! I work remotely from home, so my schedule is genuinely flexible and pet care fits naturally into my day. I’m available anytime during the week, not just evenings or weekends, so I can adjust to your pet’s routine rather than the other way around. Whether it’s a midday walk, a feeding schedule, or checking in between meetings, I have the time and flexibility to cater to what your pet actually needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, safety and consistency come first. In your home, I follow your routines exactly, feeding times, medications, walk schedules, so your pet’s day stays as normal as possible while you’re away. If care happens at my place, I keep a calm, distraction-free space and give your pet my full attention rather than juggling other animals. I don’t have pets of my own, which means no territorial issues, no competing for food or attention, and no risk of picking up something from another animal. I’m comfortable using crates, baby gates, or leashes if that’s part of your pet’s routine, and I always check in with you before making any changes.
“Marisa was wonderful! She spent the weekend expertly caring for our 6 cats and dogs as if they were her own. Marisa was really good about communicating with us throughout the weekend, both in writing and through sharing pictures. Caring for 6 fur babies is a lot to begin with but she handled all of them so well. I would recommend and would love to work with Marisa again.”


“Kier was absolutely AMAZING! He was so caring with my 2.5 year old Cockapoo - and sent me updates/photos multiple times a day. My pup looked like he was having way more fun with Kier than he does with me :). Thank you, Kier!!”


“May watched our two pugs, for a long weekend, which was no small feat, as one is a puppy with puppy energy. Our pugs loved her! She followed the routine that we left and gave us updates. She also left our house spotless, as if no one had been there! May is an excellent dog sitter and we would definitely book with May again!”

“Rachelle has been our go-to dog sitter, and once again, she took great care of our dachshund while we were away for a week. She made sure he got his daily walks and potty breaks on schedule, handled his medication, and kept the house tidy, which we really appreciated. She also sent us regular photo updates, which eased how much we missed him. We’ve used her before and continue to trust her with our pup. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I've cared for a variety of pets over the years—including my own cat for 10 years, a guinea pig for 2, a parakeet, and a hamster. I've also looked after my parents' fish and my brother's Husky, and have completed house sits for both cats and dogs during my travels. I have experience with rabbits as well. I have a flexible schedule and live nearby in Forest Hills, so I can easily accommodate your pet's daily routine and provide reliable, attentive, and loving care. My preferred times for 30-minute drop-in visits and dog walks are 8:30–9:00 AM and 4:00–6:00 PM. If you need a different time, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to accommodate your request. Hi, I’m Betty, a native New Yorker and lifelong animal lover. I’m clean, friendly, and dependable, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets—whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. As a homeowner and former pet owner who had relied on house sitters for my own pets, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your home and animals. I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away, and I’m always happy to send regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I’ll treat your pets with patience and kindness and respect your home as if it were my own.
“Kevin was great from the start and even though my poor dog got sick while he was watching him he took such great care of him and communicated every detail and dealt with all of the clean up (sorry Kevin!) I came home to a clean place and a happy dog couldn’t ask for more!”

“Iggy was amazing with Darby, as well as being a house guest. Very understanding and communicative, both respectful of my home, as well as my dog--couldn't have asked for a better experience! Will definitely be rebooking and highly recommend!”

Tenzin is absolutely amazing - a hero and a lifesaver, truly can't say enough good things. She took care of two high-needs dogs (one is a a senior dog with multiple medical issues, the other has severe separation anxiety) while I was out of the country for a week. The older dog developed new symptoms just a few days before I left, and I almost canceled the trip, but Tenzin's experience and competence made me feel secure enough to go, and she kept up a constant flow of information and photos, so I knew the pups were well and happy!

Jewel was quick to respond to my request and asked many good questions before agreeing to house sit. She also wanted to have a meet and greet before our appointment which I really appreciated. She is very communicative, thorough in terms of what is expected and knowing what the dogs need, and very good-humored; she even took notes during our meeting. The dogs were immediately comfortable with her and I was perfectly confident leaving them in her care. She gave me updates during the day, and everything was great when I returned. The dogs were happy and so was I. I would certainly request her to stay with them again.

Isabel did a very nice job with my dog Onyx. She was with him for two days and one night. She followed every instruction I gave, and kept in touch with me the whole time. She also kept the house very tidy as well. The cherry on top was the fact that she left her own little note to me and I really appreciated that. Would definitely book her again.

Charlie was fantastic. I needed a last minute pet sitter and am so glad I found him. He had great communication, fast response time, and my dog loved him and I was able to enjoy my trip knowing she was being well cared for. I've used Rover before and it has been an up and down experience due to people initially agreeing and then not responding or cancelling days later. I'm really happy to have found Charlie and can't tell you how much I appreciated his quick and reliable communication.

Vanessa did an absolute amazing job staying with Onyx. She was with him for two days and a night and did everything that I asked her to do the exact way I asked her to. She kept in touch with me the whole time and dealt with my paranoia as I never left him before.. She left the house, nice and clean and took out the garbage. I will definitely be booking her again. Thank you Vanessa.

Kaylee is amazing. Our 1 year old pitbull loved her from the first minute. She is truly a "dog person". Our dog Cannoli had surgery earlier in the week. Kaylee followed all our instructions with medication and sent videos. We could see our baby snuggled up with Kaylee sleeping. I will Absolutely be booking again.
