“Helena was really great with taking care of our cats. She sent notes and pictures daily and is very detailed in her updates and communications. Her daughters were really good with Felix. We felt very comfortable with leaving our cats on her care. Really allowed us to relax during our vacation. Would be happy to refer Helena anytime!”


“Siu-Lin took great care of Ringo while I was away. I got regular updates, photos, and could tell my pet was in great hands. She made sure my pet was comfortable, well fed, and entertained. Thank you!”


“Ana was very kind, and made the drop-in super simple. She was kind enough to clean the litter and replace the keys to their hiding spot. Since our move we've been wanting to find someone who can come to our new home mostly for Zeus who is very skiddish. Her concern showed the minute she arrived and wondered where he was. She was great! Will definitely book again and recommend.”


“Kloe was extremely caring for our three cats. They trusted her right away. She fed, cleaned and played with them while we were away. Sent so many cute pictures and videos. Definitely recommend!”


“Lisa was great, communicative and gave my lovey cats love while we were away. She even brought a few toys for them. I’ll definitely use her again”


“Anna was a wonderful sitter for our two cats. She communicated clearly and consistently, sending updates and photos after each visit. She was patient and attentive to both of our kitties’ individual needs, showing genuine care and compassion. She truly went above and beyond—we highly recommend!”


About: We have a zoo of our own: 2 golden retrievers and 3 cats. We'd love to help care for your baby while you are away! I have raised dogs all my life, and have work experience in a dog grooming facility. I can administer medication, cater to special diets, and any special requirements that your furry family member may need. Sammi is full time tattoo artist with a flexible schedule and Jerry is a UX designer who works remotely. We are an animal-loving couple who can take on pet sitting requests depending on who is free. We will be predominantly offering drop-in service at our clients' homes and providing dog-walking services. Since we have dogs and cats at our own home, we will not be able to provide boarding service at our home.

“Patricia was great with my cat, Skitty! We hired her to do drop-ins to set up the auto-feeders, clean up his litterbox, and play and cuddle with him. She is very communicative and sent lots of photos, which I appreciate so much. She made sure to update me on other things going on in the house as well. I would highly recommend her for cat sitting. Thank you so much, Patricia!”


About: I am a animal lover who has cared for many different animals over my lifetime. From a young age I have owned dogs, cats, birds, and many more! I enjoy being around animals and have taken care of pets both in home and while owners are away! I am a happy soul and would love to meet and care for your pet! I work full time in NYC in and can do walks in the afternoon lunch hour most weekdays. Weekends are always free for more walk and play time. Willing to adjust and accommodate with your schedule! Always willing to do the best care for your pet. If it’s walks outside, playtime inside and everything else, it would be a thrill for me to meet and care for your pet.

About: I have lived with cats my whole life so I am very comfortable with them and know how to read them, even ones that are on the more temperamental side. I also have experience taking care of kittens. Dogs and cats both love me because I love to give them attention and am happy to play or cuddle with them. I have experience caring for dogs with challenges such as PTSD and anxiety. Currently this is my main job, so I have a lot of availability and can devote a lot of time and attention to your pet. I am happy to drive or take the train to your home in Nassau, Queens, or Brooklyn. I am available for short drop in visits or long term housesitting and overnight stays.


“Ozzy was an amazing sitter for my four cats! My girlfriend and I felt at ease while away visiting family knowing that he was checking in on our cats, and even giving my diabetic cat his meds. All the cats loved Ozzy and I would highly recommend booking with him!”


“Kierra went above and beyond to make us feel safe leaving a hope alone with a Rover for the first time. She communicated effectively during every visit, took excellent photos, and took time to really provide Hope with the care and love we wanted. She played and sang to Hope, as well as kept her food and water clean and full. We told her she didn’t need to do the litter every day, but she did anyway. Kierra was respectful of the apartment complex and timely with returning our key. Heart of gold and a friend of animals indeed. She even helped us with extending booking (when we messed up 5 times), We couldn’t have had a better experience or human to take care of Hope (who is a rescue cat but had no issues warming up to kierra)”

When going on walks I can put on booties/sweater/jacket and harness if needed and then I would take them on a nice walk to help them get exercise, energy out and do all their business. I am very cautious to make sure they are safe and not eating anything random of the street or steping in harmful things.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my deep love and understanding of pets. With two cats of my own and years of experience caring for dogs, I truly know how much pets are a part of the family. I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own—providing them with the same love, attention, and respect that I give to my own animals. Whether it's cuddles, playtime, or just ensuring they feel safe and loved, I'm here to make sure your pet has the best care possible while you're away!

About: Hi! My name is Myasia Bradshaw. I am a student at American Musical & Dramatic Academy (or for short, AMDA) studying musical theatre. When I am not playing Elphaba on the stage and casting wicked spells, I love to put the spotlight on dogs and make them feel just as fierce & fabulous! My first best friend was named Eric (who was a cute little kitty), then came Munchie, Max and Squeak who were all black Labradors. Squeak was my favorite because he had the most energy. He was a bundle of joy and I loved being around him. As a result of being surrounded by these adorable munchkins I’ve developed a deep love for animals as they bring me great joy. Not only are they cute and cuddly but they’re always there for us! They deserve the best care - even the little rambunctious ones. Interacting with any animal makes me happy. Regardless of whether they have fur or scales I treat my pets, and other’s pets as family members who need just as much love and emotional care as they do physically. This would be my third job as I work at my school as a Library Assistant during the day (from 8:45 AM-1 PM); an Usher at Big Apple Circus from 9:30 AM - 3 PM and as a live entertainer at night ( from 6 PM-11:30 PM). It seems like a lot but my schedule fluctuates surprisingly. My schedule this year (in school) is pretty flexible though. This semester we are auditioning and prepping for our showcases (live theatre performances) so times will vary depending on when they need me on set, and when they don't. Sometimes it'll be 6 PM - 7 PM or 7 PM - 8 PM. I typically work at the library 2-3 times a week, at the circus 5 days a week and rehearse everyday excluding weekends. I have never found my schedule hard to manage. I believe that communication is key in all relationships! Therefore if a set time is set in stone then I will abide by them and work around both of our schedules to make ends meet. Although I can’t board dogs because I live in a dormitory, I’m a very respectful and responsible when it comes to staying at a client’s home. I am a neat freak myself so by the time you arrive back at your home it will be spick and span! I’d love to walk/care for your animals and become their friend! The safety and care of your dogs is the number one important aspect in my book. I want to ensure that I will listen to any needs you or the pet may have.

On occasions when my dog required medication, Aimee managed it with ease and care. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and my pets adore her in return.

Lakeview cat parents share their Rover experiences
Alexis is wonderful!!!! Trustworthy, friendly, and amazing with animals! Alexis watched my kitties when I was away in Europe for a week and I was completely at peace knowing she was watching my fur babies. She was thoughtful and mindful of what my cats needed and kept me updated with each visit with adorable photos! She also took wonderful care of my home and cleaned up the areas around the cat litter. Anyone would be lucky to have Alexis watch their animals. I will definitely be using her again! Thank you Alexis 🤍
