House Sitting Howard Beach

About: Animal care is my biggest passion! I’ve recently graduated college with a degree in biology, where I often volunteered at shelters to gain experience. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, fish & even birds for as long as I can remember. I don’t think I’ve ever met a pet that doesn’t like me, so I’m very excited to help those in my community with dedicated care! In a house with 4 cats and 2 dogs I’m constantly caring for pets of all ages! Currently I work part time, so I’m available most hours of the evening during the week and some weekends. Early mornings I could also do. I am ready for anything :) My first course of action with a dog I’m caring for is always to take them for a walk or let them out as it might’ve been hours since they’ve last been out. I’ll try for longer walks to use up all their energy til the next time I pop in. Then it’s time for food and water refill and play time/enrichment time where I try to get the last of their energy out. If I’m watching cats, I’ll feed them first and as they eat is my time to clean out the litter box. Cats also need tons of play time, so after they eat I’ll entertain them too. The hardest part for me is always leaving them.

“Meka accommodated our last minute request and was incredible communicative. Most importantly, our puppy loved her. Will book again in the future.”

“Kyla did an amazing job sitting for our anxious dog! Our dog is often wary of strangers, but took to Kyla almost immediately. Kyla was extremely communicative and did a great job administering meds and helping our dog feel comfortable. She is clearly very experienced dealing with dogs that have trauma/anxiety. We felt very comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands.”

“Jana was a great sitter for Theodore! We had unexpected maintenance issues with the apartment almost as soon as she arrived - Jana communicated them immediately and was so flexible as we figured it out from a distance. Theodore was happy to have the company and we got lots of wonderful pictures & videos of the two of them. We're so grateful to Jana and will book her again the next time we're out of town.”

About: I grew up with dogs and have cared for breeds of all sizes. Most recently, I was the primary caregiver to my 2 huskies for the last 6 years, raising them since they were babies, so I am comfortable with crate training, commands, walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and daily care. I have also spent time volunteering at animal shelters before so I’m very comfortable around new dogs with different types of energy. I currently work part-time, remotely so my schedule is very flexible. I am dependable for all your pet needs from daily drop-ins to overnight care. I am comfortable and confident in following your instructions for pet care. I have experience with crate training, feeding schedules, daily walks, and commands for dogs of all sizes and ages.

“Kenine was great during a 2 night stay with our dog who can be a bit difficult with new people. She was patient with him while he acclimated and she was very communicative with us. I definite recommend Kenine and will use her again”

“Imani did a fantabulous job. She loves what she does and I am very happy we found her through Rover. She did home sitting for us. And it was a great experience.”

“Beverly was a godsend for me, full stop. My plans for taking care of my dog fell through at the last minute before the holidays and Beverly swooped right in for the rescue. She gave me updates throughout the week during the busiest time of the year and made sure my dog felt right at home without me there. Beverly went above and beyond what I expected of her and the apartment was left better than she found it. I’d recommend her to anyone and everyone in a heartbeat.”

“Susi took care of all of my animals - cat, pigs, and guinea pigs. It was a lot of work over a long period of time, but all my fur babies were well taken care of. I got tons of pictures when I was away and they were all great. I would definitely have Susi take care of my pets if I go away again”
