About: I am available this month for dog sitting and dog walking. I had experience with smaller breeds but will happily care for a bigger dog. I love engaging and playing with dogs of all sizes! I believe playtime is very important for pets. With the added bonus of helping another person who might not have as much time on their hands, or who is unable to walk their beloved pets. Thank you for viewing my profile and considering me. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends. I have an open schedule at the moment. My weekly routine involves the occasional dog walking gig and playing with my cat. My schedule will be open for the foreseeable future. I do not provide at home boarding at the moment. I have a cat of my own and he is not good with other pets.

“I cannot say enough good things about Kim. She's communicative, reliable, and thinks ahead to avoid any potential issues. Most importantly, our cat gets love and quality care and is not a grump when we get back!”


“Kristal was very flexible and helpful. We changed the dates a few times, and she adjusted happily and with grace. Daily, she dropped in to look after my cat, Osaka, and after each visit, she provided cute photos and a thorough report. Overall, Osaka and I greatly appreciated Kristal and were very pleased with her service. <3”

I have a flexible schedule, and I reside in Manhattan willing to travel as well. I am can work with you around your schedule and needs. I have worked with animals for about 5 years and have learned to recognize certain behaviors. I will ensure that it's a comfortable and enjoyable experience for both me and your fur baby. I also work in the veterinary field and am aware of some health signs. I am trained to notice any immediate health emergencies.

About: I worked 1 year in pet boarding. And bath groomer. I cared every single breed and also cared a lot cats. It’s amazing !!!I loved it I’m available to play all afternoon. I really love spent my time with them. In the morning I have a job but I’ve arrived always early to my home. I always take care to them. Hours to eat, hours to play, to go to walk, most importantly make feel the dog comfortable and also the costumer. I am currently not working but have a few errand along the day. In the morning as soon as I wake up I would take care of the cleaning pet area, feeding and walking if needed. I would repeat the process in the afternoon. I make sure to keep everything as clean as possible, separate the pets as directed by the owners, also feed and walk (of dog) twice a day or as directed for the owner


“Stephanie is the best! She took impeccable care of our cat Hazel while we had a 10 day vacation. We were able to enjoy ourselves without stressing about how our girl was doing at home thanks to Stephanie’s detailed check-ins and clear care for her well-being! She is a trustworthy and capable caretaker for the fuzzy members of the family.”


About: I love animals - I have taken care of kittens, old dogs, and everything in between. Having grown up with dogs and cats all my life in Western Massachusetts, I am used to a pet friendly environment and used to treating animals like they’re apart of your family. I work from home in finance with a lot of time to spare! I can provide them a lot of attention and walk them as many times as needed. I try to make each day special for them when they’re in my care. I love to introduce myself and try to get pets to warm up to me while playing. Treats sometimes help depending on the owner’s preference. If they’re in a new environment, I would give them a quick tour and provide them with a place to lie down. After developing trust, a quick walk and some food should solidify that further.

About: I love all kinds of animals, and I've found that spending time with them boosts my mood and theirs. I grew up with two small dogs, and most of my extended family members have had dogs as well. My friends and I joke that when I go to their houses I spend more time with their pets than I do with them! I'm happy to play with your pets if they want to play, or just sit with them and pet them and give them all the love they could ever need. I understand that it can be scary to leave your pet in the care of a person you may not know well, because they truly do become a family member, but I promise to do everything in my power to provide a comfortable and safe experience for both you and your pet. I’m currently working from home, so I am happy to walk your pets between meetings, or to come work at your place during the day so I can keep your pets company/they can keep ME company! I am an attentive caretaker for all animals, and will follow any instructions left for me very carefully. I don’t just do the bare minimum— I spend quality time with pets and make sure they feel safe and loved.

“Keissy cared for my cat like no other. She is very kind, sweet, reliable and responds to all of my nervous cat-mom communications. My cat really responded to her in an affectionate and positive manner. I will have Keissy care for my kitty any time.”


“Wendy was great with Nash! She followed all my instructions, communicated during the visit, and even sent me a photo! Her visit was very helpful and took the worry out of being gone for the day. I will definitely book Wendy again!”


About: I’ve had the joy of being around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with both small and large breeds since I was a little girl. Caring for them is a lifelong passion for me. I love not only spending time with dogs but also training them, learning about their unique personalities, and making sure they feel happy, healthy, and understood. My goal as a sitter is to give each dog the same level of love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is thriving while you’re away. As a freelance artist, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to tailor my day around the needs of the pets I care for. My work in the arts gives me the freedom to be present for regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Because I can easily adjust my routine, I’m able to give each pet consistent attention and love. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or in a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are in a secure environment that they are free from hazards, with access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and plenty of safe play space. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, from feeding routines to exercise schedules, and keep a watchful eye on the pet’s behavior and well-being. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and ensure it’s kept tidy and secure. My goal is to provide both the pet and their owner with peace of mind, knowing they’re in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment.

“This is the second time I’ve used Elines to watch my dog, Ice, and once again, she exceeded my expectations. She’s incredibly responsible and always on time, which I truly appreciate. What really sets her apart are the regular updates and adorable pictures she sends—they give me such peace of mind when I’m away. Elines is so kind and attentive, and it’s clear how much love she gives Ice. I can tell he really enjoys his time with her, and that means everything to me. I will definitely continue to use her services and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter!”

Rainbow loves animals, when she took care of my dog Charlie she treated him as if he were a king, making sure he never missed a meal and had all the exercise he needed by taking him on long and much needed walks so he could let out all the contained energy Charlie had bottled up inside.

Inwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jialarie is such a great sitter! She was very communicative and made sure my cats ate and were taken care of while on vacation! I would choose her to take care of my cats again if needed! If you’re thinking about having her take care of ur pets I would definitely recommend her!

Lindsay took a great care of our cat while we were gone! She came to do a meet and greet with him to make sure she knew where everything was etc. Her visits went off without a hitch, she provided great updates and photos every day. We see our cat as our son, and we felt great knowing he was receiving great attention and care while we were away!

Jessie is very kind, and very prepared. I enjoyed that during our initial meet & greet, she had a list of questions for me! The first visit with Dragon went very well, he is shy to start but will open up with the right person. Jessie was calm, kind, and patient with Dragon. I was extremely happy with her service. Her professional demeanor, updates, and responsiveness are all major bonus points. I would recommend in a heartbeat ✨

This is my third time using Jessie and I’ll always use her (if she’s not booked up!). She is very professional and, as someone who gets a lot of anxiety leaving her precious baby, I feel totally safe and comfortable knowing she’s in Jessie’s capable hands. Everyday I’m away, I look forward to Jessie’s report cards and love seeing the great photos she takes of my cat. I would recommend her highly! Thank you, Jessie!

Fallon was a fantastic cat sitter for our cat, Yuki. She was professional and flexible, accepting our last-minute request and handling a slight mix-up we caused with ease. She sent us daily photo updates, which made us feel completely at ease during our two-week vacation. We came home to a happy cat and highly recommend her!
