About: Hi! Iâm a full time student looking to make some extra money, as well as meeting dogs. I have loved dogs since I was little and I have one of my own. Heâs a 4 yr old Rottweiler mix named Montu. Previously I had a morkie mix who unfortunately passed due to old age a few years back. I have tons of experience with dogs from my own, to my friends and families. I understand how hard it can be to get their daily walks in when you work full time, so I would love to help others feel at ease. I hope I can have the pleasure of meeting your dog! Im currently in school full time but since its hybrid and I get out early most days I am able to make the time to care for your pets! I have experience with anything as Iâve had my own. If needed to give medications, walk, crate I am able to do it all.
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.

âOzzy was an amazing sitter for my four cats! My girlfriend and I felt at ease while away visiting family knowing that he was checking in on our cats, and even giving my diabetic cat his meds. All the cats loved Ozzy and I would highly recommend booking with him!â

About: Hi, I'm John! Iâm an animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. I understand that leaving your pet with someone is a big decision, so my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as an individual. Some dogs want a long walk and lots of playtime, while others are happier with a slower walk, some attention, and a comfortable place to relax. I take the time to learn your pet's routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and special needs before you leave. What you can expect from me: Plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise Walks tailored to your dog's age and energy level Feeding and medication according to your instructions Regular photo and message updates Careful attention to your pet's normal routine A reliable and responsible sitter who treats your home and pet with respect I also understand how important communication is to pet parents. I provide updates and photos so you don't have to wonder how your pet is doing while you're away. I work full-time in NYC, but I have availability for walks and visits during weekday lunch hours, and I have significantly more flexibility on weekends. I'm happy to discuss your pet's schedule and see how I can accommodate their needs. Most importantly, I want your pet to have a positive experience while you're away. My goal is for you to come home knowing your pet was safe, happy, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work full-time in NYC, but Iâm available for walks and visits during the afternoon lunch hour on most weekdays. Weekends offer much more flexibility for walks, playtime, and longer visits. Iâm happy to work with your schedule and your petâs routine to make sure they get the care and attention they need. Your petâs safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your instructions and your petâs normal routine, whether that means a walk, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply spending time with them. Iâm also respectful of your home and make sure your pet is safe and comfortable throughout my visit. Iâll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing.

âDrew was just what we needed for our senior Pomeranian. She was very communicative, reliable, sweet, and just overall understanding of our situation. I will definitely be booking her again!â

âGrace was wonderful and she got along great with our cats. She was reliable, kept us updated with photos and messages, and our cats looked relaxed and happy when we got home. Highly recommend!â


About: What truly sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience as a devoted pet parent â especially with senior dogs and emotionally sensitive pets. I cared for my beloved senior dog Rocki for 14 years, supporting him through every stage of life, including the extra patience, gentleness, and attentiveness senior dogs need. Today, I share my life with my dog River and also help care for my partnerâs 16-year-old senior dog, so I am very comfortable with senior care, slower mobility, routine-based needs, and gentle handling. Iâm highly attentive to body language, emotional comfort, and stress signals, which helps me support anxious, sensitive, or aging dogs in a calm and reassuring way. My home provides a safe, structured, and loving environment where dogs can feel secure and relaxed. Iâm also patient and consistent with younger dogs, helping reinforce routines, calm behavior, and positive habits through gentle guidance and structure. Every dog in my care is treated like family with safety, emotional awareness, patience, and genuine love. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I structure my days around consistent walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and calm rest periods for my own dog, River, as well as my partnerâs senior dog. Because caring for animals is already part of my everyday routine, Iâm able to provide dependable, attentive, and structured care for pets staying with me. I prioritize supervision, emotional comfort, and routine so every dog feels safe, relaxed, and cared for throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like family in a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow each dogâs normal routine closely, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of rest and comfort. I pay close attention to body language, emotional needs, and stress signals to ensure every dog feels secure and relaxed. My home includes a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, cozy indoor rest areas, and close supervision throughout the day. In a clientâs home, I respect their space and maintain their petâs established routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide gentle, attentive care, ensure safety, and send regular updates with photos so pet parents always feel reassured while theyâre away.
âAlec was phenomenal and took good care of my pups. He met my dogs on a meet and greet with sincerity and professionalism. Even contacted me to let me know that one of the dogs ate the other dogs food lol.â

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was young. From watching dogs for friends to venturing to dog parks with my dog. I have owned animals for most of my life. I own a caviled King Charles and a calico cat. I am passionate about animals and want any excuse I can to be around them! I am a teacher so I have off this summer! So I have tons of free time to do whatever pet care you need! I am very flexible and am frequently available on weekends! I luv win a quiet neighborhood with little to no traffic. I am located very close to many dog friendly parks that I would love to take your dog to!
About: My family and I all love animals, so we applied to be pet's sitters at home care. We have a independent house with a yard, and there will always be someone at home 24 hours a day. The pets can move freely at home without too many restrictions. We have regularly clean to the house to ensure the clean and hygiene environment for all pets. I have over a year of experience in taking care of cats and over six years of experience in taking care of dogs. The longest time I took care of a cat was for two months. At the beginning, the cat would hide under the sofa for a week, but lately he became completely unrestrained and would lie on the bed together, play hide-and-seek with me, and explore every corner of the house. When the weather was good, the dogs could play freely in the yard. Welcome all cats and dogsto my home, we are the best friends of your pets! We can keep daily routine for all pet's. I am working part-time on weekends and I will come back at 4PM , but my family members are off on weekends. And my family members and I take care of all pets together. We have a independent house with a yard, and there will always be someone at home 24 hours a day. The pets can move freely at home without too many restrictions. We have regularly cleaning to the house to ensure the clean and hygiene environment for all pets. When the weather was good, the dogs could play freely in the yard.

About: I have three dogs of my own, so caring for animals is a consistent and structured part of my daily routine. I prioritize long, intentional walks, enrichment, and balanced play to support both physical exercise and mental stimulation. Iâm experienced with both dogs and cats, and comfortable with a wide range of sizes, breeds, and temperaments. With dogs, Iâm familiar with everything from small companion breeds to larger, more energetic dogs. With cats, I understand the importance of respecting their space, routines, and comfort levels. In both cases, I pay close attention to body language and behavioral cues so I can adapt my care to each petâs individual needs. I also have experience supporting animals with separation anxiety by providing a calm presence, consistency, and reassurance so they feel secure while their owners are away. I focus on creating a stable, predictable environment that helps reduce stress and build trust. Reliability, patience, and consistency are central to my care. I take time to understand each petâs routine and reinforce positive behaviors during walks and visits, always aiming to maintain the structure and comfort they are used to at home. Iâve been around animals my entire life and bring both intuition and responsibility to every booking. My goal is simple: to provide safe, attentive, and genuinely caring support so your pets feel comfortable, understood, and well cared for while youâre away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I already care for my own dogs every day. Iâm used to structuring my schedule around consistent walks, feeding, playtime, and general care, so itâs already built into how I plan my days. I have full-day availability and a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of needs throughout the week, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Iâm able to adjust my day based on each petâs routine so they receive consistent, reliable care at the times theyâre used to. Whether itâs morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight house sitting, I prioritize being present, dependable, and attentive. My goal is to maintain each petâs normal routine as closely as possible while providing calm, consistent care throughout the day or stay. When caring for pets in a clientâs home, I prioritize safety, respect, and maintaining a calm, familiar environment. I follow each petâs routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, and any specific instructions provided, to ensure consistency and comfort. I am very attentive to each petâs behavior and body language, which helps me respond appropriately to their needs and ensure they feel safe and understood. For pets that may experience anxiety, I focus on providing a steady, reassuring presence and minimizing disruption to their normal routine. I also provide updates as needed so owners feel informed and at ease throughout my care. I treat every home with care and responsibility, making sure to keep the space clean, secure, and exactly as I found it, while being mindful of safety at all times, including doors, leashes, and any specific household guidelines. My goal is to create a stable, trustworthy environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for, and owners feel confident that both their home and their pet are in reliable hands.
About: Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and genuinely cared forâeven when youâre away. Thatâs exactly the kind of care I provide. As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets are family. I share my home with my sweet 6-year-old Cavapoo and my gentle 10-year-old Scottish Fold cat, so I know firsthand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Before joining Rover, I worked at Dogtopia, where I cared for groups of up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to understand different personalities, recognize body language, manage dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and ensure every pup feels safe, comfortable, and happy. When I was younger, I babysat and walked dogs for relatives and neighbors. I also know that leaving your pet can be stressful for you, too. Thatâs why I make communication a priority. Youâll receive regular photo updates, videos, and text messages so you can see your pet enjoying their day and have peace of mind knowing theyâre in loving hands. When I care for your pet, my goal is simple: I want them to feel as comfortable, happy, and loved as they do when theyâre with you. I canât wait to meet you and your four-legged family member and become someone you can count on whenever you need an extra helping hand. I am currently on summer break from college. From September 2026, I will be available to work at any time on Monday, Wednesday, Friday afternoon/evenings and Saturday and Sunday. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply quiet companionship, Iâll tailor every visit to their unique personality and routine. I believe every pet deserves individual attention, patience, and lots of affection. That is how I am with my dog Flash and my beautiful cat, Princess Leia. Honestly, no request is too much, my dog and cat both are very particular in their ways.

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: Iâve been a multi pet sitter since I was 16 watching pets inside family and friends homes. Iâve watched low maintenance dogs and dogs that need medication administered at certain times. Iâm comfortable walking with the dog or letting them outside to play I am currently a part-time student so Iâm available any day of the week so long as it fits outside of school hours. Please feel free to ask me more about that :) I have a fenced in yard with a mix of concrete and grass. I have a separate apartment in my house so your fur baby has some seclusion from my other pets. Any other concerns please feel free to ask

Elizabeth has done a number of drop-in visits for my 2 dogs and she does a great job in checking in on them, giving them some play time and of course assuring they are getting some time to be outside. She communicates very well and from the pictures I know my dogs are having a lot of fun during the pop-in visits. I highly recommend her for taking care of your pets!

Stephanie is an absolute sweetheart! I could tell she treated Saint with so much care, as if he was her own pet. ( which I love ) I will definitely be using her again for her help in the future. Not only is Stephanie nice and friendly, but she followed all the directions I left for her. Thanks đ

Samantha and Jerry were so amazing with my diabetic, blind dog that needs insulin 2 times a day, hoping She would adjust and that she did , with them. Samantha and Jerry was so kind and gentle and she adjusted so quickly to them.. I got the most amazing pictures everyday from Jerry and daily updates. I came home to a very happy and healthy little girl. So happy I found them, will definitely feel comfortable everytime we need to go anywhere and they carefor my dog.. 10 out of 10.

Nicole was an absolute angel with Lale during a very stressful time for me. From day one, I could see how kind, caring, and genuinely loving she is with animals. Honestly, the best review comes from Lale herself â she would practically hop with excitement whenever she saw Nicole! Watching her little tail wag and seeing how happy she was made my heart so happy. Lale felt completely safe, loved, and spoiled in the best possible way. Knowing Nicole was with her gave me such comfort and peace of mind. She cared for Lale with so much affection and attention, as if she were her own. Iâm beyond grateful for everything Nicole did for my sweet girl. Anyone would be lucky to have Nicole care for their pet â and their pet will probably fall in love with her just as much as Lale did! âŁď¸đžđ

Esperanza was great to work with! I asked her if I can pay her to comd the night before the booking on extremely short notice to meet myself and my bernedoodle, and she was able to do so which was fantastic. She did two drop in visits during the day while I was away and did a wonderful job and followed all the instructions I gave her.
