About: I have been taking care of as well as walking dogs since I was 17 years old around the city and in Queens. My partner had a pomeranian girl that I got to live with for 3 years until unfortunately she passed away, her name was Lilly :) and she was twelve years old. I love dogs and enjoy being in their company. I have a good amount of experience when it comes to noticing when a dog is upset. I have worked a lot with dog-sitting. My mom's boss gave me the opportunity to dogsit his bulldog Albert while he goes away the whole summer and constantly travels throughout the year. I understand the love and care that a dog or kitty might need when this occurs. I work remotely and go into the office twice a week, spending most of my time at home which allows me take care of your pet throughout the day. My typical work hours in person are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. I reside in a cozy, spacious apartment that is filled with beautiful natural light and fresh air, creating a warm atmosphere. My partner and I are pet lovers and we are committed to ensuring that any pets in our care will be cherished and well looked after.
About: I've cared for pets my whole life and enjoy doing so. Before losing by beloved fur son last year, I would walk him and my cousins dog when he would go out of town. Along with the dogs and cats I've encountered, I strongly prioritized providing them with mental stimulation. Walking and challenging play is essential to their wellbeing and I've encouraged friends with pets to do more on their behalf. As an afterschool tennis coach, the flexibility and active work would be best for my shift at 1:30pm and after 6pm. I also work at a food delivery company part-time Wed & Friday 9pm to 2am and Sundays from 4pm to 9pm. This kind of work keeps me engaged and on my feet and allows me to pay attention to details and slow down a bit. I love being nurturing and taking time to shell the flowers! I follow the owners strict diets and regiments for their fur babies and keep things tidy. I respect the pet as I would any adult or pet of my own by keeping a close eye on them and developing a loving and trusted relationship.

“Tedy was great with Yoda- very patient and gave him time to get comfortable with her. She was also very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos during the walk. Would definitely book her again.”

About: I’ve been a dog mom for more than 15 years of my life. I have a small senior dog who gets along with everyone. We love having other dogs hang out with us. I’m very active and enjoy taking dogs for all kind of fun walks. I currently work from home 3 days a week and spend lots of weekends at home taking care of my senior dog. I am the go to person with all my friends and family when it comes to pet care. My senior dog spends much of his time in a giant play pen sleeping in our apartment. We still make it out for 3 walks a day. My apartment is very pet friendly.
About: I've had a passion for animals since I was a child, which led me to pursue a path in veterinary studies during college. While my cat doesn't live with me, she has been a huge teacher in both emotional and physical pet care. Her unique needs have helped me develop a deeper understanding of animal behavior and the importance of attention to detail when it comes to their well-being. My experience with pets extends beyond just care—I bring patience, love, and knowledge to ensure your furry friends feel safe and comfortable. I currently work full-time remotely which gives me ample time and ability to give my full attention to pets in need of care. My weekends are also open which gives me flexibility for last minute requests I have an apartment which has a fenced courtyard downstairs suitable for short walks. I am also physically capable of outside walking- I live in a residential area that is safe and away from commercial zones that could be overwhelming for sensitive pets.
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats, I absolutely love them. I've walked dogs professionally since a young age. I also exclusively walked 3 beautiful dogs for 5 days a week for about 2 years. I will watch big dogs if they are very well behaved and or trained. Starting in November my schedule is wide open, I'm happy and willing to help with all of your dog and cat needs! If your pet doesn't match my willing to take, reach out anyway and I may make it work. I'm very comfortable with doing whatever your dog or cat needs. I've had lots of different dogs and cats that have all needed different types of care.

I would more than love to expand my experience with other dogs besides my own, please help me with this. I just graduated from high school and am currently not enrolled for college yet so I have a very flexible schedule. I will work it around with your schedule as well.

“Thank you, Cailey! Sammy appreciates your patience as he takes a bit to warm up to someone but you seem to have a calm temperament and opened up quickly. We’ll definitely be rebooking.”

“Briana has been amazing with Eloise!! She is punctual, reliable, and takes wonderful care of my fur baby. We are so thankful to have found her. If you’re looking for a kind, trustworthy pet companion who will update you with lots of pictures, then Briana is your person!”

“Faith is wonderful! She’s reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. Tuna absolutely loves her, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing she’s in great hands. Highly recommend!”


About: Hello! I’m an ecological archaeologist with a passion for wildlife and animal care. As a lifelong dog owner I began dog sitting and walking at the age of 12 for family friends and neighbors. Throughout high school and college I volunteered at local animal shelters fostering dogs, caring for senior animals, training puppies, and organizing adoption/fundraising events. I also continued dog and cat sitting throughout college and picked it up as a side hustle since moving to NYC. Recently, one family I help out suggested I get on Rover, so here I am! I would love to meet you, your pet, and start getting our steps in! I currently work part-time and have an abundance of free time. I have availability Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Thursday afternoons and Weekends are when I find myself out of the house for extended periods of time but I still fit three walks in a day and am home in the evening for dinner/playtime. I usually do walks in the mornings and early afternoons, but when dog sitting I make sure to get one more walk in the evening. I currently live in an apartment within walking distance of three city parks. I typically give two walks a day while dog sitting to these parks, but that usually depends on the age of the dog and whether more walks are needed. I grew up with a Great Pyrenees, which are very stubborn about their routines, so I follow client instructions as closely as possible to decrease separation anxiety for the dog. For cats, I’ve removed all house plants from my apartment to ensure they don’t get sick. I have multiple toys, scratch pads, and nooks and crannies that cats love to hide/perch on. I usually schedule playtime before dinner to follow their hunt-eat-sleep instinct and keep my door creaked open so they can access me and more importantly my window facing a fire escape with a pigeon nest.
About: I’ve taken many of my friends’ pets in during times when they’re away and the pets have become like family! I love meeting new pets and exposing them to exercise and rewarding them with yummy treats. Since leaving corporate life, I have nothing but time to accommodate, host or hang out with a little furry friend. We can run errands together, explore the neighborhood or even just enjoy a relaxing chill moment. Your dog can be easily kept/in crate on my side of my apartment. My roommate is also very pet-friendly and welcomes the company of any furry friends we may make!

Briana has been amazing with Eloise!! She is punctual, reliable, and takes wonderful care of my fur baby. We are so thankful to have found her. If you’re looking for a kind, trustworthy pet companion who will update you with lots of pictures, then Briana is your person!

Hillary was absolutely wonderful with Chloe! She took such great care of her on every walk, kept me updated on how Chloe was doing and her activity, and was so sweet and attentive. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Chloe was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Hillary and will definitely be booking her again! ❤️

Heidi was wonderful with my dog, Rocco! This was his first time walking with her, and she made me feel very comfortable. She kept me updated, sent several photos during the walk. Rocco was excited to see her and seemed happy and relaxed with her. She is kind, professional, and clearly cares about the dogs she walks. I will definitely book Heidi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!

We are thrilled to be back with Ashley walking our dog Cagney after a two month break this winter. She is so kind and loving, patient and above all professional. She has also done a bit of training with him. Cagney gets so excited when the buzzer rings and runs to greet her. Definitely an asset to Rover!

Mayely is incredibly responsive, trustworthy, and dedicated !! She was very communicative with me and it was clear through her words and actions how much she cared for my dog. She was patient with him, walked at his pace, and was eager for him to “use all the facilities”. Will be booking again!!

We are so grateful we found Naoka. Our dogs love her! We are so appreciative for the peace of mind she provides by being communicative about our pups when we are away. She goes above and beyond for our pups and is an absolute joy to work with. Her love for dogs and humans really shines in the level of care she provides and we highly recommend her.

Xavier was amazing!! He has a really gentle kind energy that made my anxious dog feel safe, and was able to exercise with him and walk a large breed. He even found a new dog park for us to go to nearby! Highly recommend for a local reliable and flexible walker - my dog loved him so we will definitely be booking again soon :) Thank you!!

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
