About: I’ve owned and taken care of a diverse group of animals since the age of 12. Dogs, cats, birds, rodents, & reptiles. I am skilled in basic animal behavior and animal first aid. I’ve taken care of animals with strict diets as well as animals that require medical necessities. I am also a NYS certified first responder (EMS) that can provide basic care that is suitable for larger animals. Walking, bathing, feeding, training, medicine administering; I do it all. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your fur, feathered, reptilian babies. Fridays & Saturdays I work my EMS job so I am typically unavailable during those days but I can provide overnight care when needed. I live in an apartment building so there are no outside influences that can possibly disrupt your pets routine. I adhere to all pet owners preferences, i.e. crate training. I will not double book my care time to insure safety to all pets.
“Shelly has been checking on my doggie, few times per week on regular basis, for the past few weeks. She is very kind, caring, reliable and on time... My puppy has had some GI issues couple of times during this time and Shelly has been very caring for her. My little pooch luvs Shelly so much! she looks at the door, excited, looking for Shelly when ever I mention Shelly’s name! I’ve been feeling really at ease and peaceful, when I know she is coming to check on my doggie. Thank you very much Shelly :)”
About: I've always had pets in my life, and caring for them has never felt like a job—it's something I truly love. Whether it's going on walks, giving belly rubs, or just spending quiet time together, I enjoy every moment. I believe animals have a special way of showing love, and it's incredibly rewarding to give that love right back. Your pets will be treated like family, with all the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I love getting outside after work and on weekends, and I’d be happy to bring your pet along for walks or runs. Whether it’s a relaxing stroll or some high-energy playtime, I enjoy spending that time outdoors and making sure your pet gets the fresh air, exercise, and attention they need. I believe caring for pets is about more than just feeding and walking—it's about building a trusting relationship with both the pet and their owner. I take the time to get to know each animal’s personality and needs, always prioritizing their safety, comfort, and well-being. You can count on me to treat your pet like my own, with dependable care and plenty of love every step of the way.
“This was my first Rover experience and I couldn't land on a better person! Not only Angelique explained throughly everything to me but also made sure I am well aware of what's going on with my cat! She kept me updated and most importantly my Buba was happy and had good care. Definitely recommend Angelique and will use her assistance in the future”
“Isabella was fantastic! We got great updates and pictures along the way, and our cat who is usually scared of strangers warmed up to her so quickly. I highly recommend her.”
“Gwinevere worked hard to make friends with the very shy Daisy, and sent photos and videos daily of their friendship journey. Hearing Daisy purr upon my return was the icing on the cake!”
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.
About: Hey! My name is Nikki, I am new to rover but I have been dog walking for a few years now. I started my business on the UES/East Harlem but now that I have moved into the neighborhood I am hoping to meet more furry friends and families through here. My schedule is flexible so it allows me to work around your schedule. If something comes up last minute, short notice work trips, or maybe you just need some time for yourself. I completely understand, I got you covered ! Please feel free to reach out to me anytime if you have any questions I allow them to roam as if they were at their own home, I want them to feel comfortable in the space that they are going to be staying at for a few nights or even for the day.I provide updates and pictures while you’re away so that you can feel at ease.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs since childhood. I have a 4 year old cat of my own who is truly my baby, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ve also been a foster parent, which has given me experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or keeping your pet’s schedule just right, I treat every animal like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m a private school substitute teacher and an actor, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be present and attentive when caring for pets. Because my work often varies day to day, I’m able to adapt to each pet’s needs. Whether that’s regular check-ins, longer visits, or maintaining a consistent routine. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priority is always their comfort and emotional well-being. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed, especially when they’re away from their people. I follow each pet’s routine closely (feeding schedules, litter box or potty habits, playtime, and quiet time) so their day feels familiar and stress-free. I take time to build trust, move at the pet’s pace, and give them the level of attention they’re comfortable with, whether that means active play, gentle companionship, or simply sharing space.
About: Hi! I’m [Your Name], a passionate dog lover and dedicated pet care professional. With years of hands-on experience walking and caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I treat every pup like they’re my own. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long adventure walk, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to make sure your furry friend is happy, healthy, and safe. Reliability, communication, and genuine care are at the heart of everything I do. Let me give your dog the love and exercise they deserve — tails will wag, I promise! On an average I run 4-6 miles daily. As a digital artist who works from home I tend to find myself with a lot of energy left and lots of times I would rather spend with animals and being active at that. As a husky owner and a dog that needs lots of attention and walks, my dog is my best friend. He runs with me a lot, and I care for my dog as well as my other pets very attentive, extremely nurturing (it’s a habit), and with so much play time.
“Great pet sitter. My cat was always very happy to see him. He was great with communication and willing to go above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of. Will definitely use again when needed.”
“Lili took care of our cat, Mishmish, while we were on vacation. She followed instructions to the T, and our elderly cat, who is usually pretty lethargic and not overly friendly, warmed up to her. We came back to clean litter box, swept floors, and our cat having fresh water and food. We will absolutely work with Lili again when we travel for extended period of time, and highly recommend her to any pet owner.”
About: I have pets and children of my own so I understand I am fully responsible and reliable, considerate and loving. Professional to say the least. I am very flexible as I work from home as a home care provider for a family member I have a backyard and the whole house is ours. I have a fenced a jointing double yard (shared with the neighbors who doesn’t use it) and friendly pets Pomeranian small poodle and a friendly pit bull.
“Nicole took such good care of our cats! She was very responsive and communicated with us a lot - giving us updates and sending photos for each visit. Our cats had never been left alone before and they are under 1 years old, but they seemed incredibly comfortable with her and we’re really grateful for that!”
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.
“Jessica was so helpful and a wonderful pet sitter for my cat, Stella! She was very professional and kind and took excellent care of Stella. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Stephanie was beyond great, she was Rocky’s besty for almost 10 days. He looked forward to her visit every day. Stephanie thank you again for being so wonderful and sweet with Rocky. Looks forward to working with you again.”
Kings Bridge pet parents share their Rover experiences
My cats felt comfortable the moment they met Gwinevere, which immediately put me at ease. It was clear she is very experienced with cats and understood how to follow their care plan perfectly. She kept me consistently updated throughout their stay and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and happy. When my flight was cancelled multiple times, she kindly took care of them for additional days until we were able to return home safely. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
We had an amazing experience with Mirian. She checked in on our cats every day as requested and was attentive and communicative. Anytime she had a question, she made sure to clarify with us, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was incredibly respectful and thoughtful — even asking if there were any parts of the house we weren’t comfortable with her going into, which really shows her professionalism. She was also super available by text or call and happily sent photos of our babies whenever we asked. We truly felt our cats were in great hands and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you Miran!
I found Jessica's profile to be warm and engaging with her "clients" so I decided to reach out as I needed last minute childcare for my furbabies. She reached out to me immediately and we were able to connect and do a visit. Im a worry wort as this would be the first time I was doing drop-ins vs. Overnight care. Jessica assured me that my babies were in great hands. She took excellent care of my furchildren. She kept me updated, took photos, and provided information on why one of my cat's was behaving aggressively (i found him abandoned in a small crate in my building two weeks before I had to leave town. Hence why I needed someone). He's soon to be snip snipped. She also played with them too which was awesome because they love that. She was a trooper and cared for my babies for 15 days. I would definitely recommend her and would use her again for her services.
Marin is beyond words amazing with our pup! We are so grateful to her for her genuine compassion, care and attention to detail. We feel so safe with her in our home. She is incredibly accommodating, has an expert level of understanding of animals’ needs, behaviors and communication style. It’s been only a short time working with Marin and our entire family and our pup is obsessed with her! Thank you Marin for not just what you do, but also who you are.
Brianna has watched my kitties a few times now and I have nothing but positive things to say! My picky queen is always excited to see Brianna and even my avoidant, mildly feral boy started to approach her. Brianna keeps in constant communication about my kitties and takes excellent care of them!
Emmanuel is awesome. The buzzer at my building was broken so he stood there until someone let him in- every day during the holidays- while he had five or six other dogs to watch. Above and beyond, and my animals were fed, clean and happy when I got home. I won’t go to anybody else from here on out
