“Gwinevere is honestly so great. She’s very reliable and updates you with great photos every visit. You can tell she cares a lot about pets and knows what she’s doing just by talking to her for 2 minutes. Very thankful for her!”

About: Dear parent(s), I thank you for considering me to look after your puppy. In the following short paragraphs you will read a little bit about me and my love for nature. SERVICE: I cater to those parents who need either a "once in a while" (but can be frequent) and/or a "last minute" sitting/walking care. I update my Rover availability based on my regular job's schedule to date to provide you a better service. ME: My love and passion for puppies began at a very young age. Growing up, I was blessed with having at least one dog in the household. During my high school years, I worked at a parrot shop located in Edgewater. There, I cared for baby parrots by handfeeding them their formula, which I prepared myself. I also kept a health chart on many baby parrots. Adults parrots were also present and cared for. My love and respect for animals has only increased through the years. Life has us all working so much that it takes us away from what we would rather do, spend time with our pets. Your dog will be cared for and looked after when you need to attend other matters. I have cared for dogs in the past, small and large (Saint Bernard the largest). I cannot pet sit in my home, but I can come to yours, though most of the time I will be out with him/her. So next time your puppy needs love and care when you need to be elsewhere, book me. I will make sure to fill that void your absence will leave, so the time he/she misses you will be less. Though I love dogs very much, I can be firm when needed. If there are any special requirements, please let me know. A. If your dog is shy, I will make sure he/she is not overwhelmed by other dogs or even humans. B. If he/she is hyper, to avoid kids being frightened. C. Do you prefer that your dog does not visit dog parks, or at least when they are not that busy? etc. I am currently a Real Estate Agent. My main working days are the weekends for open houses. This provides me with the freedom to care for your pet during the week, which is when most doggies are home-alone, but not anymore if I have a say in the matter. Building regulations and lack of space have prevented me from such joy. While I cannot pet sit at my home, I can take your dog outdoors. I try and stay physically active, so your dog will be walking and playing.
“Steven was amazing with Billie 🐶 and communicated clearly at all times. Second time booking with him and would absolutely do so again. Highly recommended. Thanks, Steven!”
“Phil was awesome right from the start meeting him. Being a dog trainer myself I am very picky and particular with who I choose to watch my dogs. He did exactly what I asked and needed him to do and more and couldn't have been happier with the results and my dogs seemed very comfortable with him as he did with them. He gives detailed descriptions of each visit and leaves you feeling at ease when under his handling and care. Highly recommend he will be my guy going forward. Thank you Phil!”
“Came home to a happy healthy cat. So grateful to have found a reliable, consiencous sitter to watch my fur baby while my hubby and I took a well needed break from work. Hannah was very commicative and sent updates after every visit, which I really appreciated. Could not have asked for more from a sitter. Will definitely hire again!”
“very communicative and sent me updates about my cat every day! my cat LOVED mikey and they seemed to get along great. very thankful my sweet baby was in such caring hands.”
About: I was a volunteer supervisor at the same no kill NYC rescue organization weekly from 2007- 2020. I have cared for dogs and cats of all types with all kinds of issues. I have worked as a dog walker and watched cats prior to Rover. I have fostered and owned both dogs and cats. I have watched up to 5 dogs at any one time in my own home. My current senior dog is petrified of NYC and I do everything it takes to make her walks as pleasurable as possible. I truly love them all. I work FT from home and I take care of my neigbors dogs and cats pro bono. I cannot think of anything else that I would rather do. This isn't work to me. I can do Fridays, weekends and evenings (any day of the week) and depending on your needs, I may be able to flex my schedule around your pets and do weekdays as well. I will follow the client's instructions for their pets. I know how important it is to take care of a pet per the owner's instructions. I will only alert the client if I am not clear on the instructions or detect some sort of danger.

Vanessa S.
“I am incredibly grateful to have worked with Vanessa S. as a dog caretaker and trainer. Vanessa has a deep, genuine love for dogs, which is evident in the way she approaches every aspect of her work. She takes her responsibilities very seriously and is dedicated to learning more to help animals thrive. Her commitment to their well-being is unwavering, and it shows in the care and training she provides. Vanessa has been an invaluable help in training Rico our older adopted Malti poo, guiding us with patience and expertise to address challenges and improve his behavior. She also played a key role in helping us welcome Linus our 8 week old Goldendoodle puppy into our home. Thanks to her support, our puppy quickly adapted to his new environment and became a lovable, well-mannered member of our family. Beyond her professional skills, Vanessa’s passion for animals extends to her volunteer work with city rescue organizations, where she has fostered dogs in need. She is always looking for new ways to help animals and improve their lives, whether through training, fostering, or ongoing education. Vanessa treats every dog she works with as a cherished member of her own family. She is caring, trustworthy, and fully devoted to the well-being of the pets she supports. If you're looking for a dog caretaker and trainer who is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely compassionate, Vanessa S. is an exceptional choice. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of her services.”
