“Jennie is great! She offered to accommodate Petey last minute with her mom. Petey and Busker really like her. Would definitely recommend if you need a reliable, friendly walker/sitter!”
About: I can't remember a time when I did not have a pet in my life. Probably because there never was such a time! Mostly dogs, but, I have also been a proud cat owner. I have cared for friends' pets, and I understand that leaving your fur baby with someone requires trust. For several decades, I have chosen to adopt my animals from shelters. I can tell you that it has taught me to appreciate that every animal is different, with their own personality, quirks, routines, and needs. Our pets are part of our family. And, yes, they make mistakes at times, create messes, get into places they shouldn't. They're only human, after all! I promise to bring the same patience, care, and affection I show to my animals into every interaction I have with yours. I am available to walk your dog(s) and will be sure to take then on walks as long or short as you recommend, up to 40 minutes. I can stay and play with your pet for a while, as well. I will work within your guidelines and your pet's routine. I am also available for short overnight stays in your house. I am available for walking, playing, feeding, whatever you need. I will come to your home and am available for short overnight stays, if needed. Overnight stays will fall between 8:00 PM and 8:00 AM. I am available weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I will work within your boundaries. You know your pet best, so tell me what they need, whether that's a long walk, extra water after play, specific treats at specific times, or simply making sure they’re comfortable in their crate or free to roam. You tell me what works for your pet, and I’ll follow their routine. They’re your family, and I’m here to help. Please note, short-term overnight stays are available between 8:00 PM - 8:00 AM.
“Marco is a wonderful sitter. My husband and I have been extremely lucky to find such a reliable and trustworthy sitter for our baby. I’m sort of a helicopter dog mom, and Marco really caters to every request. We have a doxie who has very special care instructions due to his sensitive back so it really gives us peace of mind knowing he is taken care of properly. Our pup absolutely loves him and it has truly been a blessing to find someone we trust in our home and with our pup Frank. I highly highly recommend him. Thank you so much Marco!”
About: I’ve taken care of my sweet senior dog for all of his nearly 18 years. I fully understand that seniors need a little extra love and attention 🩵 I’ve also been the default dog and cat sitter for friends when they have needed it. I have experience giving medicine and eye drops for dogs. I’m also happy to learn any other medical care needs if needed! My little guy passed recently, so I’m just here to give your fur babies some love while you are away 🩵 I work from home, so I’m pretty flexible and can take breaks midday to walk and play. I’m available for boarding most work days and weekends. I live on a quiet street that is great for walks, and there is also an open yard for quick potty breaks. I have no other pets in the home and only take one client at a time, so your pets will have my full attention!
“Charlie my little guy is always taken care of and happy when Alex and Fernando visit. Will definitely recommend to my friends and family, as well as continue to use them for future dog walks.”
“Jolie really came through for me and my brand new rescue, Irving. He’s still getting used to city life and everything that comes with it, so he is highly reactive and anxious. She was available the same day to do a meet and greet and was completely calm and unbothered by his jumping and barking even in her face. She put us both at ease and was really patient with him. She took Irving on productive walks in the middle of the day and he took to her pretty quickly. She is also very communicative and kept me apprised of location and how the walks were going. I’d definitely use her services again!”
“Megan is amazing with our dachshund mix, Mr. Harold. He has some separation anxiety and her weekly walks with him have been so amazing on the days we’re in-office. I can’t recommend Megan enough!!”
“Sherrie was reliable and loving- an ideal combination! She went the extra mile (literally!) walking our dog Millie to make sure Millie was thoroughly exercised. She checked Millie's water bowls without us asking. Sherrie also communicated with us clearly, promptly, and warmly. We will definitely try and hire her again when Millie needs some extra attention. Thank you, Sherrie!!”
About: Hello! I am a seasoned sitter with experience with dogs, cats, multi-pet homes. I’ve done walks (previously @ Wag), house sits/overnights, and drop ins. I’m a reliable, responsive and communicative sitter - expect lots of pics! I'm looking to do a decent amount of pet care per week if possible, roughly part-time hours ideally. I recently left my FT job and am looking for income as I complete my yoga teacher training :) I strive to “leave no trace” in client’s homes ie. ensuring the space is as clean as when I arrived, including cleaning up after the pet, if necessary.
About: Hi there! I'm Montana, an animal-lover located in Washington Heights. I know that our sweet animals are part of our families, and I treat them as such: lots of eye contact, love, cuddles, and attention. I'm a pet-whisperer, and can not only converse with dogs and cats when they're in a good mood, but can also calm them down in moments of stress or anxiety. I've raised two dogs from puppies and three cats from kittens throughout my life, as well as taken care of multiple friends' pets while they were away. I have experience taking care of elderly dogs and cats as well as young rapscallions. I love walking, and look forward to adventures with your pal. I'm very aware of how much an animal's mental state affects their life and happiness, and I make sure to never be on my phone or distracted when I'm with a furry friend. They need and deserve all the love in the world, and I'm here to give it! I'm a writer, artist, and musician, and am currently on a very flexible work-from-home schedule. For dogs: I love walking, and look forward to incorporating adventures with your pup into my day. For cats: If you need someone to come check on your friend during the day, I'd be happy to do so. Weekdays will be my bread and butter, but I can make select weekends available if need be. I enter every animal's environment with respect, knowing it's theirs, not mine. I adapt easily to each animal's spirit, vibe, and wishes, and play with them when they want to play, sit with them when they want to sit, and treat their (and your) space with genuine care while I am a guest there.
“It’s been an absolutely wonderful experience working with Jacqueline. She has been reliable, caring and has great communication. She even washed the doggy dishes I left in the sink and remembers to always give them water before leaving. 10 out 10 recommend!”
“Shariana is amazing! She asks all the right questions to put our mind at easy while providing so many details of our pup's care. Definitely someone special to have around!”
About: While I am new to Rover, I have a lifetime of experience loving and taking care of dogs. Whether I am stopping in, taking them on a walk, or boarding — I guarantee your pet will be loved, exercised, fed, happy and safe. I am also happy to set up a meet and greet to ensure the perfect fit. I’m currently a graduate student looking for part time work. My schedule is flexible. Please message me with any of your scheduling requests and needs. I am happy to care for your pet right in your home where they are comfortable or in my apartment with a small outdoor patio, if needed.
About: Hi, I’m Zoe! I’m from California and I like reading, swimming, and animals. I’ve had pets of every shape and size as long as I can remember. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, fish, snakes, lizards, frogs, river otters, and rodents. I’m very responsible, calm, and communicative. I work full time so evenings and weekend are best for me. Let me know what you need and I’ll see what I can do! I’m sensitive and receptive to each animal’s unique needs. My home is very clean and safe and I am also a very neat and detail-oriented person.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes through my own pets and by helping friends, family, and neighbors. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make each one feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s going on walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also send photo updates after every visit because I know how reassuring it is for pet parents to see their furry family member happy and well cared for. From energetic puppies to shy or senior dogs, I’m patient, attentive, and committed to following each owner’s instructions to ensure their pet receives the highest quality care. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule, allowing me to dedicate quality time and attention to every visit. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each pet owner’s needs whenever possible. Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visit, or extra playtime, I’m committed to being dependable, punctual, and making sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and routines to help pets feel secure and maintain consistency. I pay close attention during walks, use secure leashes and harnesses, and always keep a clean, calm environment. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I strive to provide dependable care, clear communication, and regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

We needed a sitter at the last minute and couldn't have been luckier to find Phil! Every visit came with a thoughtful update, so we always knew Parker was happy, well fed, and getting plenty of exercise and attention. Parker also needed medication, and Phil gave it reliably every time, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear Parker was in caring, dependable hands. We'll definitely be booking Phil again and highly recommend him!
Nicole is an absolute angel. I could not have met a kinder person. Benji took to her immediately and did wonderfully on his first walk. She made sure to even refill his water while I was out and played with him for a little. As a new dog mom, she really eased my anxiety with my new pup and I will absolutely be booking her again!

She was available the same day to do a meet and greet and was completely calm and unbothered by his jumping and barking even in her face. She put us both at ease and was really patient with him.

We had such a wonderful experience with Gawon walking our two dogs! She was always on time, reliable, and so caring with both of them. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We really appreciated her communication and the care she showed our pups. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be using her again!
Jenny was amazing! We have a fearful dog and we wanted to make sure our dog was comfortable with the dog walker before we went on vacation. Even though it was a last minute request, Jenny came to meet our dog and they got along great. While we were away she took great care of our dogs and always sent pictures of all the fun they were having. I highly recommend Jenny!

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
