“Brandon is an exceptional sitter! He got back to me in a timely manner even when i requested his services a bit last minute. My German Shepherd pup loves him and I feel comfortable leaving him in his care. He kept us updated if anything happened and even took some cute photos of our kitty at home. If you’re looking for a trustworthy sitter, Brandon is your guy!”
About: Hi, I’m Arobi! As a pet parent to my cat Tutun, I know how much love—and trust—goes into letting someone care for your furry family member. I have one year of dog-walking experience, and I’d love to give your pup some fresh air, company, and time to enjoy their favorite sniffing spots. I offer one-on-one walks so your dog gets my full attention, with a pace that suits them and your instructions always in mind. You’ll receive a photo and a little update after every walk. Before our first booking, we’ll meet to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I’m available for weekend walks, with pickup and return outside your building with you present. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I offer dog walks on Saturdays and Sundays, with times arranged together before booking. I keep my schedule manageable so your pup gets my full attention and an unhurried walk. You’ll receive a photo and a little update afterward! I want both you and your dog to feel comfortable with me. We’ll meet before our first booking to discuss their routine and make sure we’re a good fit. I walk one dog at a time, check that their leash and harness are secure, and keep them leashed throughout. Pickup and return take place outside your building with you present.
“Nicole did a great job watching my cats for the week. She arrived on time each day and made sure they ate, had a clean litter box, and got lots of rubs. One of my boys ate too fast and vomited. Nicole let me know immediately and cleaned up the area. From the pictures she shared, the boys enjoyed having her check in on them.”
About: For the past 10 years, I have devoted myself entirely to caring for my own cat, who is 16 and has health complications. Having left him with family after moving to the city, I'm delighted to share my love with other pets! My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate you and your pet's needs! Feel free to contact me with your requirements, and I will do my best to satisfy you! There has never been a time in my life where I haven't come home to a cat waiting for me! However, my experience doesn't stop at my own pets! From watching 2 hyper chihuahuas to a sassy teacup Yorkie. Walking, feeding, and cherishing these animals have become second nature to me! Therefore, your pet will be in responsible and loving hands!
About: I recently said goodbye to my 18-year-old senior pup who was still as active and playful as when he was a puppy, even in his last weeks with us. I was his main caretaker since we adopted him when I was 10-years-old, so I have plenty of experience caring for dogs and prioritize keeping them safe and happy! We also had other dogs growing up, so I am used to caring for multiple dogs, dogs of various ages and sizes, and dogs of all energy levels. Specifically, as my doggo aged, I gained a lot of experience with medicine routines, slower walks, attention to health details, and all other requirements of caring for senior dogs. In college, I would housesit for families with all kinds of pets (including rabbits, geese and chickens!) and this helped me pay part of my school costs. However, I enjoyed caring for other's pets so much, I have continued to do so for years after college! I love getting to know new furry friends and making sure they are happy, exercised, well-fed, and enjoying themselves while their parents are away! I am currently working part-time, and often only for a few hours in the evening, so I have lots of time and flexibility to care for you pup, prioritizing being available for prime walking hours in the sunshine! I am willing to work around my part-time hours to meet your dog's routine needs. I am willing to care for the dogs in your home so they are comfortable in their own spaces and can generally keep their normal routines. I am flexible and willing to follow any instructions about your space that you provide.
About: I had two senior chihuahuas, Pepe was a blind senior, who have both moved on now. I’ve trained Kozmo and Otto since they were puppies. Kozmo understands commands in English, Italian, and American sign language. Otto is still learning, as he’s a puppy, to walk with his big brother, and other basic commands. I work from home Wednesday thru Sunday so I have a lot of time with pups for playing, long walks, for sitting and also to go to client’s dog homes. I have three friendly dogs to keep your pup company with bucketful of toys. Two of them are playful, the third is 15 and still young but doesn’t play. I can also come over and spend time with your pup to play and do walks together.
About: Hi there! I’m Clari, a true animal lover with over a decade of experience caring for my own sweet dog. She’s been with me for 10 wonderful years, and in that time, we’ve been through it all—zoomies in the park, lazy cuddle days, and even the not-so-fun stuff like surgeries and anesthesia teeth cleanings. I know how stressful it can be when your fur baby needs extra care, and I’ve learned how to handle those moments with patience. Whether your pet just needs a fun walk, some company while you’re out, or special care like medication or gentle handling after a procedure, I’ve got you covered. I’m all about making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their humans are away. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pictures and notes, so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! Let’s make their time away from you as stress-free and cozy as possible. Flexible scheduling as I work at home some days and my projects vary. DM me as I am happy to discuss scheduling based on your specific needs. I have a very friendly and sleepy Maltese who would keep your pup company. Sometimes she’s home and sometimes she’s spending time with her grandma, who’s equally obsessed with her as I am.
“Anna-Laurie was a blessing, through and through. She took GREAT care of our two lil feline furballs— with excellent report cards that were so personal, thorough, and full of photos. She has an excellent personality to boot 👢Will 110% rebook with her in the future (and you should too).”
About: I have three cats in home and I love them so much! I have also walked and played with my friend’s Rottweiler very often. I’ve also have experience in local animal shelters on feeding dogs and cats! I’m a college senior student, and quite free during weekdays afternoon and anytime on weekends! Interacting with animals, especially dogs can make my day or even my whole week! I consistently feed my cats in a routinely manner, and I prepare their meal on a nutritional based proportion. I also have the habit of playing with them twice a day, morning 20min and evening 30min. When I walk/play with friend’s dog, I’ll train them to walk along while also having fun in the nature!
About: What sets me apart is my patience and how I read dogs instead of forcing them. I’m good with stubborn dogs, strong pullers, senior dogs, and dogs that need a little extra time to get comfortable. I stay calm, don’t rush them, and adjust to each dog’s pace and personality. I focus on safety, consistency, and trust, making sure every walk or visit is a good experience. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so you always know how your dog is doing. Ive also been around dogs of different shapes and sizes my whole life! Pet care is part of my regular routine. I plan my days around walks and visits so I’m not rushing and can focus on each pet. I stay consistent during the week and flexible when owners need adjustments. When pets are in my home, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable from the moment they arrive. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, walking, and potty breaks, and I give them time to settle in without rushing. I always supervise them, especially at first, to make sure they’re comfortable and calm. I keep my home clean, provide fresh water, and make sure they have a quiet place to rest. I also send owners updates and photos so they know their pet is doing good.
About: Hey! I’m Shaina, and I’m the kind of person who can’t resist saying hello to every dog or cat I meet. Animals have always had a special place in my heart, even though I haven’t been able to have one of my own just yet. That’s why I love caring for others’ pets, making sure they feel loved and looked after like they’re part of my family. Whether it’s cozy sleepovers, long walks, or playing their favorite games, I’m here to make your pet’s day brighter. Most animals warm up to me quickly, but if your fur baby needs time and space, I’ll give them all the patience they need to feel safe and comfortable. You can trust me to treat your pet with love, respect, and attention to their unique personality. Let’s create some special moments for your furry friend! Why Choose Me? I bring a unique blend of care, reliability, and understanding to every pet I look after. Here’s what you can expect: • A natural ability to bond with animals and earn their trust • Respect for your pet’s boundaries and individual personality • Attentive and observant care tailored to your pet’s needs • Dependability and punctuality—you can always count on me • Experience with walks, playtime, and overnight stays • Patience with shy or nervous animals, giving them space to feel safe • Quick learning of your pet’s routines and preferences • Gentle, compassionate care every step of the way • A calm, level-headed approach to unexpected situations • Clear, consistent communication to keep you at ease Your pet’s happiness and comfort are my top priorities. I am currently working part time so I have availability to help out on your journey. I do require a couple of days notice so that we can get to know each other and you can fill me in on all the needs that your pet may need. I am a freelance creative so at times I get booked up pretty quick and will not be able to book additional jobs…however,I will always inform you if something important comes up so that we are all on the same page. Communication is key. My home is a smoke free, child free home and a small apartment. I do not have any animals due to building requirements but I am allowed to host animals so that is a plus. My main goal is to make sure your fur child is comfortable with all needs met so I understand that this is a big concern for a lot of parents. All needs are not the same but if you communicate with me on exactly what is needed we can come to an agreement to make it happen. Safety, trust and communication is a big part of my routine.
“Clifmon was so nice and had the best vibes for my cat! He was on time and made sure my cat had food, water and all things necessary.. including pets and playtime! Thank you again!”
About: Hi! My name is Michelle and I was born and raised in NYC. I graduated college with a bachelors of science in 2017. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I am a passionate dog walker and will always give your dog my full attention. I will take photos of your dog's adventures and happily share them with you. I take pride in what I am doing and it'll show in the dog. I try to get to know your dog as much as possible in the time given; such as, knowing their birthday and favorite treats. I've been dog sitting and dog walking for about 5 years now and I absolutely love it! I love connecting with dogs, they are my favorite.
About: I’ve been a pet owner for almost 8 years to my cat, Jojo, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I’m very patient about letting them warm up to me at their own pace. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs and can help with walks, feeding, playtime, litter box care, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. I’m also very attentive to instructions and will make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. What sets me apart is how seriously I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pet. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, and most importantly, make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and gets lots of attention while they’re in my care. 🐾 My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week, so I’m able to fit walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting around my daily routine. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to coordinate with you to find times that work best for your pet’s usual schedule. I also live locally, which makes it easy for me to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on the day! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, routines, medications, and house rules so your pet can stay as close to their normal routine as possible. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both your pet and your space and will make sure everything is secure before I leave. In my home, pets will have a clean, comfortable environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and walks. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾
About: I grew up with dogs in my home! The deal with my mother was that we were allowed to have the dog if we could take care of it. Since then, I have been caring for my friends' dogs when they are out of town. I am happy to administer medication, walk, feed, play with, and snuggle with your pet! Currently, I am between acting contracts, so my schedule is very flexible! I'm happy to provide overnights if you go out of town. Regardless, I'm happy to work with you to do what's going to be best for your pet's routine. I often prefer to watch your pets in their own home so that they can maintain their sense of routine and home! I am very comfortable crating your pet, need be. Just let me know if there is a meal/potty/walk routine, and I'm happy to stick to it!

“Neil C is a very nice person who quite evidently cares deeply about dogs. He was very communicative, punctual and honest. We have a big dog, who can be quite single minded, but Neil took her in his stride. Thank you Neil, for your patience and time.”
“Sally has been amazing with Nenya! Nenya is struggling with strangers coming into the house and Sally helps immensely to help improve this by doing drop in visits. She is always very sweet with my anxious pup and makes her feel so much more comfortable.”
“Noelle was so great with my cat, she was great at communicating even while I was in a diffeeent country, and she gave a picture with every visit, keeping me updated on how they got along.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since being a child. What sets me apart from other sitters is my motivation and love for the caring of animals. I’m currently only in college taking only a few classes, so I’ll have lots of time to play and walk with your pup! I live in an apartment, but live right next to the infamous Crotona Park, so your pup will always have a fun, big, and interesting park to walk in when they’re staying with me.

Zoe went above and beyond caring for both our 90-pound adult dog and our high-energy puppy! I’ve always been the type of person who is extremely nervous about leaving my dogs in someone else’s care, to the point that I’ve never hired a dog walker or pet sitter before. However, after getting our puppy and having a prior commitment that meant we’d be away from home for an extended period, we decided to take the leap and reach out to Zoe. We couldn’t be happier that we did! Zoe didn’t just meet our expectations; she completely exceeded them. She even arrived a little early to make sure she had all the information she needed for a successful visit. Throughout the entire time, she kept us updated and maintained great communication, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we returned home, both dogs were happy, well cared for, and properly exercised. As someone who is very particular about who I trust with my dogs, I cannot recommend Zoe enough! I would absolutely rebook with her in a heartbeat, and we’ve already started discussing our future dog-walking needs with her. Thank you so much, Zoe! We’re so grateful to have found you! ❤️
There are no words for the debt of gratitude I owe to Nicholas for the way he cared for my dogs. I have two elderly dogs, 13 and 15, and I was out of the country for over a week. I never worried for a second knowing they were in his care. He cared for them as if they were his own with attentiveness, love and genuine concern for their wellbeing. While I was away, my 15 year old rescue Diamond, had a flare up with her eye that could have progressed into a catastrophic ulcer and resulted in permanent, devastating consequences. Nicholas recognized that she needed additional care, stayed with her beyond the time he was originally scheduled to, took her to the vet, got her what she needed, and made sure she was safe and cared for. I was halfway across the world and had absolute peace of mind knowing my dogs were with someone who was paying close attention and would do whatever was necessary for them. I am beyond grateful. Nicholas went above and beyond in every possible way and I cannot recommend him more highly. My dogs were more than cared for, they were loved.
Victor is great! We reached out last minute for drop in visits twice a day and Victor was more than up for the task! He checked in on Yankee twice a day, fed Yankee, changed water, and walked him all in a 30 minute visit, and twice a day! Great option if you’re going out of town but want to keep your pet’s daily routine!
Let’s begin by saying I’ve never left my dogs for more than a few days and if so usually with just my mom. I had to go away for a family vacay and was so anxious as one of my doggies has to take his heart medication every 12hrs. Being away for 7 days while everyone I trusted was on this trip with me and thank god I came across Laudianny she was AMAZING! She was puntual and amazing with my babies. She was so good with link and his medicine and so loving with Lily 💕 all my dogs loved her. I will 100% be booking with her again!
I am so happy I chose Tess to take care of my Fenway! I went on a trip out of country and last minute had to find someone to watch my miniature dachshund. For the past four years, I have only had family or close friends watch him, based on his behavioral issues. He has fear reactivity to strangers, children, and other dogs. It’s hard to find someone who is willing to take the time to learn his quirks and get on his good side, while keeping him safe. Tess did just that and more, which I am so grateful for! Tess gave me in depth updates on how their time together went and took the cutest photos of my fenway! I couldn’t recommend her more and will be booking with her again 1000%!!!!
Leta has been watching my dog since she was a puppy, and I can’t recommend her enough! She has always been amazing with her, from handling all of her puppy energy to caring for her as she’s gotten older. Leta is incredibly reliable and trustworthy, whether she’s taking her for walks while I’m at work or staying with her for an extended period. Most recently, she watched my dog while I was out of the country for two weeks, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was with someone I trust. She sent me such great updates through out the trip. My dog loves her, and I always know she’s in great hands with Leta!
Rennan was awesome with my dog! He kept me updated with pictures and messages, and I could tell my dog was happy and well taken care of. It made being away so much less stressful. I’d definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Inwood 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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
