House Sitting Garden City Park

About: I've lived with pets all my life, my family rescued Great Pyrenees so I am comfortable with large breeds, as well as animals in the process of being rehabilitated. I customize every visit to match your pet's precise physical and emotional needs. I am diligent regarding medication schedules, monitoring for subtle signs of discomfort or health changes, and adapting the environment to keep mobility impaired pets safe and comfortable. I'm a local law student so I am available anytime that I do not have class. Pet care is a welcome study break for me. For puppies, I focus heavily on consistency and foundation building. I reinforce crate training schedules, practice polite leash walking, and use positive reinforcement to support your ongoing obedience and socialization goals, ensuring your puppy's training never skips a beat while you're away. For senior pets and animals with chronic medical conditions, I bring a calm, patient presence combined with medical vigilance.

“Michelle was great with my dogs and they got plenty of exercise with her. She was very proactive in getting to know their personalities and routines I have with my dogs. I felt very comfortable with her in my home with my dogs.”

“Samantha was great! We had an unique petcare request and she was exceptionally accommodating. She sent us updates and photos and our little guy was well taken care of. We highly recommend her to other Rover-subs.”

“Angela was a great houseguest and did an amazing job with our boy Oliver! She was kind and responsive and took care of all of Oliver's needs! Our place was clean and I can't say enough about what she did for us. She would be a great house and dog sitter for you if you ever need to go on a trip and need your pup looked after!”

“Cynthia watched my pup overnight and took such good care of him. I felt at ease knowing he was not alone and with someone who genuinely likes dogs (even old cranky ones like mine). Thank you so much Cynthia!!”

About: I have been looking after my own dog as well as dogs in my neighborhood for around 3 years now! I have walked dogs, fed them, watched over them, and most importantly, showered them with cuddles and kisses. I cannot imagine my life without my dog so I understand what a privilege and responsibility it is to look after yours. I look forward to getting to know you and your pup! :) I am currently a full time student at Hofstra University so I can help mostly on weekends. Please be mindful that I am a student and that I have classes Monday through Thursday, but that I am willing to help whenever I can :) I promise to always respect your requests as a pet owners, care deeply for whatever pet I watch over, and be conscientious of what the dog needs at the current moment.

“Anna was awesome! Very communicative and my dogs (and rabbit) loved having her stay with them. I was out of the country and she made sure I was updated the whole time. I felt very comfortable and relaxed :) we will definitely be booking with Anna again!”

About: Some would say i’m a pet whisperer because of my influence on dogs. I love to care for other dogs as if they were my own. I had two of my fur babies pass the rainbow bridge both living up to about 12 years. Mia is my 4 year old Shih tzu Bichon mix and despite her being a handful I wouldn’t have it any other way. I work full time so i usually take my dog for an hour or so walk after work and on the weekends. I try my best to squeeze in a walk in the morning but I’m more of a night owl. I have a maintained fenced yard for the fur babies to run around should they need! With plenty of toys to go around as well.

About: Hi! I'm a full-time professional pet sitter with 4+ years of experience caring for 100+ animals with many special needs, and many repeat clients. I'm also a certified dog trainer, and I always try to reinforce good habits to help all the dogs I meet be a little better adjusted to their human-centered lives, especially when their humans are away. I have been petsitting full-time since early 2023 and love it. I work from home and have a flexible schedule to dote on your best friend(s)! I grew up in a home full of animals (dogs, cats, fish, hamster, guinea pig, bird!) and I've had dogs for almost my whole adult life. After my senior dog passed away in 2022, I decided that while I'm not ready to get another dog, I will seek out time with every furry creature that will acknowledge my existence! My previous dog was a rescued pittie who had some behavior issues when I got her, and I did tons of training with her, so I feel confident I can add value for your dog being better behaved than when you left. She wasn’t reliably great with all dogs so am used to navigating the challenges of dogs who can be reactive on leash. She also had a couple chronic health issues (esp with skin allergies) throughout her life and I gave her countless medications over the years, so I feel very comfortable with that. The last year or so of her life she was definitely a senior doggie with lots of issues (vestibular disease, canine cognitive decline) I dealt with from helping her up and down stairs to finding creative ways to play when she couldn’t do the things we did when she was younger, so I (unfortunately) would feel comfortable navigating the challenges of senior doggies. I also love cats too! I grew up with cats and have petsat for many, ranging from cuddle bugs to semi feral to potentially aggressive (though she doesn’t try to attack me anymore)! By now I have petsit for quite a few special needs animals, who trained me well! I regularly cared for a senior dog with diabetes, so I am comfortable giving insulin shots. I also watched a dog who was essentially in hospice care. I spent 3 weeks taking care of a cat with asthma and another month with a cat to whom I administered chemotherapy, and I have excellent testimonials from all of their humans. I love being active and going on long walks, but I’m also happy to be a couch potato if I’ve got a furry friend keeping me company. A few years ago, I spent 6 months dogsitting in Mexico for 3 dogs rescued off the street who were not housebroken or trained when I got there but were transformed by the time I left. I spent 3 years volunteering at the San Francisco SPCA as a dog adoption counselor and dog walker and have had dogs almost my whole life, including for 17 years of my previous dog. I’ve also done years of advocacy work for animals, including helping to pass laws in 4 states to protect farmed animals, and I’ve been vegan for 20+ years (but understand if your dog has a different diet than I do!). I am new to Rover, but Daiya, Spanky, Kiwanis, Laurie, Ollie, Rasta, Jerry, Rudy, Charlie, River, Louie, Giles, Druscilla, Marigold, Juniper, and many more have trained me well. I work from home and choose my own hours so am very flexible and available to work around your or your buddy’s schedule. I have sat for animals that have wildly different preferences and I’m lucky to be able to accommodate them with my schedule. I do petsitting in the pet’s home, where they are most comfortable. By profession, I am a summer camp director so am background checked and entrusted with the lives of children! I am also responsible for overseeing countless logistics, adjusting to changing circumstances on the fly, being kind and professional to everyone, think of safety first (second and third— I’m pretty obsessed with creating a backup plan for everything that we could anticipate could possibly go wrong), leaving a venue nicer than we found it, and trying to look on the bright side when things get challenging. Hopefully those will serve me well in petsitting for you too 💕

About: I truly care for each pet as if they were my own. I’m very patient, loving, and attentive to their routines and needs, making sure they feel safe and happy at all times. I also send regular updates and photos so you’re always at ease knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I currently work from 9 AM to 5 PM, but I’m flexible with my afternoons and evenings if a pet needs care or a walk. I’m also fully available on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, or in-home pet sitting. I’ll always make sure your pet’s needs fit naturally into my schedule so they get the attention and love they deserve. I live with a friendly dog from my housemates, so I’m used to giving love, attention, and regular walks. When caring for pets, I always follow their routine, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy.

About: I have had experience with dogs since I was young, but I started looking after them for others three years ago. I currently care for the same dogs every day; I know how to prevent fights and avoid dangerous situations, and above all, I have a great deal of respect and love for these furry friends. I work as a dog sitter; my available time is only on Sundays and Mondays I'm looking to just walk dogs, but over time I could do you a favor with something else.

About: Pet care experience Hi there! While I may not have a dog of my own, I've had the joy of caring for a dear French bulldog annually for almost two weeks each year.

I'm always available to walk, cuddle, and shower your furry friend with love and attention. Your fur baby will be in excellent hands with me!

Let me be your dog's caregiver, and they'll receive all the cuddles, playtime, and care they need. Looking forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! 🐶💕 Welcome! Our family consists of myself, my husband, and our three wonderful kids. Though I never had a dog, my love for animals is evident through my adorable rabbit named Kruger. Nestled in a house with a spacious yard on a tranquil street, I offer a peaceful environment for your furry friend. I work from home on Fridays and have weekends off. I'm back home by 3 PM every day, ensuring your pet is surrounded by care and attention. Living on a serene and quiet street with minimal traffic, I provide an ideal haven for your beloved dog. My spacious yard offers ample room for them to play, explore, and stretch their legs. With a peaceful environment and plenty of outdoor space, your pup will receive the utmost care, attention, and room to roam freely in a secure and comforting setting. I can easily crate your dog if needed (and provided)

About: My name is Deshaun, a former tv meteorologist, and I love dogs. I am experienced with taking care of dogs through family and friends. Giving animals as much love as possible is my motto. Show them as much love and attention as possible and always be on alert with pets. Never leave peers on their own. Make sure that they are well fed.
