“Amanda was amazing with Flint! We had a pretty last minute situation and she came through for us with no hesitation. She was super attentive, communicative, and really took initiative during her drop-ins. She noticed things, checked in with us when needed, and went above and beyond without us having to ask. I felt comfortable knowing Flint was in good hands while we were away. Definitely someone I’ll be booking again in the future. Highly recommend Amanda!”
About: I've been caring for animals in different capacities for at least a year, and being a cat owner myself has shown me how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Our pets are family, and they deserve to be treated with the same love and attention we give them ourselves. I have experience walking dogs, as well as caring for cats with specific needs. Specifically, with my own cat who has kidney disease and eats prescription food. Additionally, I have experience administering medication (through food as well as by syringe). My goal is to provide every pet with compassionate, reliable care while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family members are in good hands. My schedule is currently very flexible for the summer, allowing me to accommodate a variety of booking needs. Before any service, I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet's routine and needs, and ensure we're a great fit. I want you to feel completely comfortable and confident that your pet will be in caring, reliable hands. When your pet is with me, they'll receive plenty of affection, playtime, and personalized care based on their needs and personality. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated, so you can expect regular messages, along with adorable photos and videos, to let you know how your furry friend is doing and how their walk or visit is going.
About: I have over a decade of experience as a pet owner with dogs of all sizes. I am happy to help petowners balance their own needs while also balancing their fur babies’ needs. I work a 9-5 remotely that is generally busier during the weekdays with more open availability during the weekends and towards the end of the work week. In order to be able to tend to the needs of pets appropriately, I have limited my availability to the days where I have room to look after pets properly. I keep my pets indoors. To keep things simple and for the safety of all pets involved, I do not open my home to other pets. I am however, open to caring for pets in their own homes which is generally what they are most comfortable in.
“Evangelina is very thorough and attentive. She sent multiple pictures of what she had done which I really really appreciate. Thank you for taking care of my cats!!!!”
About: I’ve taken care and walked dogs of every kind since I was 21. I started off with rover and WAG! from there got to meet lots of dogs of every breed and sizes. I had amazing clients that relied on me and used to walk their dogs in every party of Manhattan, but when COVID came I had pet owners that moved out of NY and so many of my clientele fell down by a lot. Now I’m trying get on my feet on what I love the most I have dealt with lots types of dogs and experienced a lot with animal care. I also got references from previous clients on how much they can tell you about how their dogs loved me when I came in every day to walk them. Right now I’m pretty much open on my schedule it depends on the area and timing but for now my availability is open right now. Well as of now I live in home floor and I tend to watch the dogs that stay over night throughout the day so they don’t anything silly.
“Minyon us SUPER accommodating. Even with my hectic schedule and several emergencies at once, she understood and gave me grace through every step of the process. When my pups met her, they instantly fell in love with her. She sent videos and pictures every visit and made sure to take them on nice long walks... which my pups love. I would ABSOLUTELY book with Minyon again!”

“Chelsea does great with my puppy Ringo! She was able to come last minute ( my daughter called me worried about him when she left for work, she said he was barking and had some separation anxiety! ) By the time I got home, he was a happier puppy after Chelsea’s visit!”
“Mary is very kind, thoughtful and always thinking of her clients. She provides expert advice on pet care and accessories. She brought my shy cats some cute Halloween-y toys and they really loved them. They’ve been running around with them! She also brought them the cutest lifted feeders bc my girl cat regurgitates sometimes. Mary is always very quick to respond and communicative. She is very patient when I get anxiety when I’m gone. We love Mary so much!!!”

About: I love looking after pets and getting to know each of their unique personalities. I think animals make the world a better place by being here. They teach us about patience, love, loss, and growth. The great thing about all pets is they're all different in their own way and they all offer love. I have two cats at home, who are pretty low maintenance, they need plenty of love and play time. I dedicate every day more than an hour to each cat to make sure they feel loved and entertained. It obviously entertains me as well! Patience and looking for warning signs are very important. Taking time to communicate to the pet owners of any concerns is also a priority if that is the case. I think a good line of communication is super helpful. Getting to know the pets is helpful too.
“Arianna did a phenomenal job while providing drop-in visits with my fur babies. She was quite attentive to their needs and showered them with lots of affection. One of my babies craved excessive affection and Arianna was patient enough to provide extra petting. In addition, she pays attention to details. and understood when one of my babies wasn't in the mood to be friendly. But because she didn't neglect him, but instead found ways to work with him, he eventually came around on her side. Arianna is a wonderful cat sitter. hence the reason why I gave her 5 stars. Therefore. without any hesitation, I highly recommend her as she proves that she loves what she does. Thank you Arianna. I appreciate you.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Howard Beach
Alex was great with my babies while I was gone for almost two weeks! When I got home I could tell they had been well taken care of, they didn't appear stressed at all which has happened in the past. Alex was super responsive and sent me such great pictures that helped relieve my anxiety. I would absolutely recommend her!
Such a great spirit and understanding of our dogs needs and temperament. She went above and beyond, playing basketball with him in the cold and recognized when he was stressed. She was great in cleaning behind our dog and following instructions to T in locking up the property.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Howard Beach choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
