“Kobi is great! My dog has been transitioning to a new space and he has had a lot of anxiety. Kobi entered my apartment and sat down and waited for Henry to become comfortable! I really appreciated that and will continue to use her just for that small gesture. Thanks Kobi!”

“Sydney is amazing with my Benji. She’s communicative, attentive, and truly cares about my pup. I always know he’s in good hands with her. Highly recommend Sydney!”

About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My household includes a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, so I'm comfortable managing everything from giant breeds and high-energy dogs to independent, affectionate cats. Living with a Doberman has given me experience with intelligent, active dogs that thrive on structure, exercise, and attention. My Great Dane has taught me the unique needs of giant breeds, including gentle handling, patience, and awareness of their size and comfort. My two Maine Coons have helped me develop an understanding of feline behavior, grooming needs, and creating a calm, enriching environment for cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I have the space and resources to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐕🐈 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, my days are already structured around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I work with a flexible schedule that allows me to be present throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, supervised play, and check-ins. Pets in my care receive regular attention rather than being left alone for long periods. My large rooftop deck also provides a convenient space for supervised outdoor time and exercise between walks. I understand the importance of maintaining consistency, so I do my best to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding times, medication schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. Whether your pet is energetic and active or prefers a quieter environment, I can accommodate their individual needs and help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. 🐾 Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax, play, and feel at home while you're away. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized large dogs—a Doberman Pinscher and a Great Dane—who are accustomed to being around other animals. I carefully manage introductions and always prioritize each pet's comfort level to ensure a positive experience for everyone. One of the highlights of my home is a spacious 1,600-square-foot private rooftop deck, providing plenty of room for supervised outdoor time, fresh air, play, and exercise. Pets are never left unattended outdoors, and all activities are monitored to maintain a safe environment. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust involved in leaving your furry family member in someone else's care. I'll keep you updated with regular photos, videos, and messages so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. 🐾

“Maria has been such a wonderful and conscientious dog walker!- i wish that I could keep her, but we are moving to another town. I highly recommend her services!”


About: Hi! My name is Hallie, and I’m a certified animal lover. I grew up with some wonderful dogs and have been a proud cat mom for the last 10 years. I also worked as a dog walker/pet sitter for about six years at a reputable dog walking company in NYC. My time as a professional animal caretaker left me with a wealth of experience with cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes, ages, temperaments, and abilities, so whatever your animal’s unique needs are, I am prepared to provide them with the personalized love and care they deserve. I understand how important your fluffy family members are to you and will happily provide you with as much communication, including details and pictures, as you like. Hope to connect with you and your pet soon! My schedule is very flexible! I make my own hours so I can easily work around your schedule. Weekdays, weekends, and evenings are all fair game. I’m available to stay with your pet in your home, so they can be totally comfortable and their routine, including meals, walks, and play sessions, can remain exactly the same as always.
“Gabriela and Maidely have been wonderful with our dog. They are extremely knowledgeable about caring for pets. They are also incredibly kind, trustworthy and professional. We always know our dog is in great hands under their care.”

“Alison was incredibly patient with my new rescue dog, Olive, who tends to need a bit of time to warm up to people. She took some time to give Olive some treats and get to know her prior to taking her out for the walk which was so appreciated! I am excited to have her take Olive on more walks.”

About: Hello! My name is Melissa. I am a lover of all animals and am hoping to add your furry family member to the list of pets that I’ve had the honor of meeting. I have grown up around cats and dogs my whole life and took this one step further by adopting my own kitty, Leo, after moving out of my parents house. He is basically my child and my philosophy with pet sitting is to provide the same care to your pet as I would for him. I have further experience with dogs as during college, I spent three years as a club member for a club that raised service dogs in training. My role in this club was being a sitter, meaning I would watch the pups (ranging from 10 weeks to 2 years old) while their raisers were away. I would spend this time practicing commands with them, walking them or taking them on playdates with other pups in the programs, or snuggle with them at my apartment. These times were some of my best memories of college. I also still help my parents when I go home to visit with my childhood dog, Charlotte. She is 15 years old, partially blind and deaf, and requires multiple oral medications daily as well as numerous potty breaks. I have additional oral/eye/ear medication experience as well as general medical knowledge through my day job as a pediatric nurse. Another cool fact is that during college, I briefly volunteered at a wild life refugee and got experience with horses, raccoons, deer, and other cool animals. Like I said- I’m a lover of all animals. I am hoping to offer my services as a way to be around more animals while respecting my cats’ wishes to not have another in the house. If you think I may be a good fit for taking care of your furry family member, please feel free to reach out. I would love to provide any additional details needed :) I will be working full time as a nurse but given that I only work 3 days a week I will have a lot of availability. The days I work do change each week but I will know in advance what days I will be working. I will do my best to earn an animal’s trust in a way that makes them comfortable, so that they feel safe in their own environment and trust me while I’m around. Whether that means an animal warms up to me right away or needs awhile along with some space before I come close to them, I can adapt to either scenario. I would also like to know about any general hiding places the animal may have when they get anxious so that if I am having trouble finding them, I know where to look. This would all be stuff I would like to communicate about with the owner ahead of time so I feel confident while sitting for their pet.
About: I’ve taken care of my own 3 Pomeranians and 1 cat for about 5 years now. Whatever services you require are probably tasks that I’ve experienced and would be comfortable doing. My dogs are my super spoiled best friends, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I am able and available just about everyday to walk or dog sit and can work it pretty easily around my schedule as needed or requested. I walk dogs, play with them, can give medicine as directed, feed them, and just hang out with them. I am kind, gentle, and will care for your dogs with the utmost patience and respect.
About: I have had a dog my entire life, and neighbors have relied on me to care for their animals while they are away for weeks. I work in mental health care & i am off on saturday’s and sunday’s & i am looking to make some extra money to assist with life expenses 💫 the weekends will be dedicated to your animals! I own a cat in my apartment in jersey city. i know how stressed animals parents can be when they leave their pets behind, so i will make sure they receive lots of love.
About: I love cats and dogs, so no matter what kind of furry friends you have, we will enjoy our time together! I'm a professional dancer working in the mental health field, so I understand how important our animals can be to our lives. I am mostly free on the weekends, but I am also free after work ends at 5pm. I am very good at engaging the animals when necessary and calming them when needed, too! I have two cats at home and have taken very good care of them. I know the psychology of introducing two animals so they get along together. I had a dog when I was younger and took him on many walks. Although he was small, I have pet sat for chocolate labs and poodles, so I have experience with all kinds of animals! Do not hesitate to ask me any questions! I'd be happy to look after your pets! I have two 10 month old kittens that are brother and sister, so I feed them and take care of them every day. I have a whole set up with scratching posts, cat couches, and more to make them feel at home. I always ensure to keep unsafe objects and foods out of the reach of animals. This includes any personal items like medications. I also ensure to calmly redirect any unwanted behavior in the home through play.
Lincoln Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ana from the beginning was quick and responsive and willing to meet. She was attentive to asking all the right questions that made me feel more at ease in making my decision. She cared for my dog Zorro while my husband & I traveled, and updated me with pictures and questions along the way! Even though my two cats were not part of her duties, she was nice enough to update me on them. I plan on booking with Ana come further travels! Thank you once again.

We had a great experience with Maryna as our dog walker! She was always prompt, left thoughtful and detailed notes after each visit, and made sure Gordy got a full walk even in the rain. She also took the extra time to refill his food and water whenever needed, which we really appreciated. It was so nice being away and knowing Gordy was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care!

Super impressed with Jairo’s care and commitment to making Freud’s walk special. He was easy going, flexible, and totally understood that sometimes life is just “life-ing”, helping figure out the kind of walk Freud needed at short notice. Great warmth and humour throughout, plus lots of happy updates and lovely photos of Freud too. Highly recommend!

It’s honestly hard to find someone you fully trust with your dog, but Vlada has been amazing with Brooks. You can tell right away she really cares, and Brooks is always so happy to see her! She’s super reliable and easy to communicate with, which makes everything stress free. I always get updates, pics, and brooksie gets some extra treats! Vlada is an overall great, trustworthy person to have taking care of your dog. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!!

Ronald and Itati were super helpful with a last minute walking request when my husband had to travel for work and I needed extra set of hands to help walk my dog. Kygo is not easiest on the leash and somehow he did great with them! It was great to see him happy and tired from a walk, i really appreciated it and will definitely re-book them!
