“Shirley is a wonderful sitter. She offered to come for a "meet and greet" her 3 new clients. Even though they all went into "hiding mode", Shirley was able to get great pictures of the 3 of them during her visits. Tux our outside cat usually disappears when he does not know you, but he trusted Shirley. It was nice to receive the daily status and pictures of them. Maya is our chatterbox kitty had a lot of nice things to say. Our last trip we took she ignored us by hiding from us the minute we came home. So its nice to see that she did not mind that her parents went on vacation. We have holiday plans and a wedding trip up coming and Shirley will be this family choice.”


About: Hi there! I’m Kelly an animal lover based in Little Neck, NY, with a flexible afternoon schedule and a passion for caring for pets like they’re family. Whether you’re looking for a dependable dog walker, a quick drop-in visit, or overnight boarding in a safe, pet-friendly home — I’ve got you covered! I’ve grown up around dogs and cats, and I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I make sure every dog gets the care and attention they need — whether it’s an energetic walk, a belly rub, or just someone to keep them company. 🔹 Services I Offer: – Dog Walking (available weekdays after 3 PM) – Drop-in Visits for feeding, potty breaks, and play available after 3pm and most weekends! – Occasional Boarding (your pet stays at my home) My home is safe and pet-friendly, and I only board one pet at a time to make sure your dog feels relaxed and at home. I know every pet is unique, so I’ll always follow your instructions closely and send regular updates and photos so you feel connected even while you’re away if this would be helpful! Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet so your pup can get to know me! 🐾 I currently have a full time job but am out of work by 3pm which leaves me plenty of time to take care of pups in the evenings! I also have availability over most weekends! ⸻ I provide a safe, loving home with lots of playtime and walks! I follow all care instructions closely and treat every pet like part of the family. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities!

“Eugene was great. Responded really quick and showed up on time to help feed my puppy. He was very careful, very friendly and very respectful to everything in my house. He even stayed a little bit to play with my puppy to keep her company! I would definitely recommend!”


“Josue took excellent care of Winnie, he kept us in the loop each day to how she was doing and sent photos and videos of her daily. He made sure to play with her and give her all the attention she needs. We are so grateful to him and will definitely be rebooking!”


“Kaitlyn is awesome! She took care of my 3 cats. 2 of them need daily thyroid meds. She had no issues giving them their medications. She sent updates and pictures at every visit. I would definitely recommend her. We will be using her next time we go away and I don’t have to worry about being away from my babies!”



About: I’ve taken care of pets of various friends and neighbors over the last few years. I have always wanted a pet of my own and treat every pet like they are. I am a hard and detail oriented worker. I will clearly communicate with you how your pet is doing as well as sending pictures and videos. I am currently a teacher on summer break so I have nothing but time to come and play with your pups! Nothing would be more fun for me than to get to take your dog for a walk and have some quality playtime with them while we enjoy the summer sun! I have experienced both dog and cat sitting while clients and friends of mine have gone on vacation. I have taken dogs for walks, cleaned out litter boxes, fed them, and enjoyed some playtime. Unfortunately, my apartment does not allow pets so I cannot have one of my own, but I would be more than happy to care for your pet in your home.

“I couldn't be happier with how things turned out with Shang. From the very beginning, he was wonderful with communication and very understanding about my hectic schedule (and my embarrassingly messy apartment). Even though I wasn't able to show him around before I left, he still followed all the instructions I left for him, and had a few really great suggestions of his own! My cat is very shy, so he didn't come out, but when I got home, he seemed in the best spirits of any trip I've taken, and I know it was because he was taken such good care of. It was a stressful few weeks, but knowing that I had someone like Shang to take care of my cat while I was away was a huge relief! I'd happily have him back any time!”


“John did a great job feeding and cleaning up after my 4 cats. He came at the times expected. John was courteous and attentive and communicated with photos and texts while we were away. I will definitely use John again. I felt comfortable trusting my home and cats to him. Thanks!!”


About: My name is Jonathan and I am currently 27 years old, working full-time as a dog sitter, and living in Great Neck, NY. A former software engineer that's pursuing UX/UI design and loves animals! I currently have a 5 year old golden retriever! I have always loved dogs as I grew up with a Maltese when I was in kindergarten before getting my golden. I'm also very good at training through positive reinforcement and handling medium to large breeds. I also have experience taking care of multiple dogs at the same time. Lastly, I can easily tell when dogs are in trouble or need to use the bathroom,etc. My schedule is extremely flexible so I can accommodate most requests! I wake up at 9am everyday to let my dog out for a morning potty break. We then go for a walk at noon, one at 6pm, and one more at 10pm before bed. I have a fenced in yard that is locked at all times. I will be present in the backyard anytime the dogs are there and will keep an eye on them while they play. I will be home 24/7 while your dog is with me, and will be monitored at all times.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life—I’ve cared for all kinds of pets and love every tail wag and sloppy kiss. I’ve walked and watched dogs for friends for years, and now I’m here to give your pup the same love, attention, and fun. Rain or shine, cold or hot—I’m always ready with a leash, treats, and a smile. You can count on me to show up on time, stay prepared, and make your dog’s day I’m currently a student enrolled in an online master’s program, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available to work mornings through evenings, Monday through Friday and Sundays. Saturdays tend to be a bit busier for me, but with advance notice, I’m happy to accommodate requests on that day as well. Your dog’s safety is my top priority on every walk. I always use secure leashes and harnesses,(please let me know if you do not have one in advance, I can provide it), stay alert to our surroundings, and avoid unsafe or overly crowded areas. I never walk dogs off-leash and always follow any instructions you provide. You can trust that your pup will be safe, loved, and well-cared for every step of the way.

About: I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own - learning their routines, quirks, and favorite spots for scratches. Whether I’m with a shy rescue who needs patience or a playful pup bursting with energy, I adapt to make them feel safe, happy, and understood. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always on time, with a calm and caring presence that puts pets at ease. You can expect plenty of photo and video updates so you’ll never have to wonder how your furry friend is doing - because I know they’re family. Working remotely gives me the flexibility to fit pet care seamlessly into my day. I’m able to schedule walks, playtime, and check-ins around my work hours, ensuring pets get plenty of attention and exercise without being rushed. Because I’m home most of the day, I can be responsive to their needs - whether that’s an extra potty break, cuddle time, or keeping them company so they’re never lonely. When I’m house sitting, my goal is to make your pet feel completely comfortable in their own home and to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow your instructions closely - whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, or special care needs - and I make sure they get plenty of play, exercise, and affection. I also keep your home tidy and secure, bringing in mail, watering plants, and sending you regular updates with photos and videos so you can relax knowing everything (and everyone) is well cared for while you’re away.

“Judy has helped me countless times with Tiger. She is thoughtful and caring, and took great care of Tiger. This time I’m gone longer so I asked Judy if she could take Tiger out for a walk. She has no problem with it and took pictures when they were out. Tiger is happy and I’m thankful for Judy’s great work!”



About: Hello! My name is Julissa. I have so much love for all pets and animals. Growing up, i’ve always had a dog in the house, and they were always such an important member of our family. It’s been about five years since I’ve had a dog of my own. My last dog’s name was Sasha. We adopted her when she was six and had her until she was about thirteen. She was so smart, loving, and anxious when we first got her so our first few years together were spent establishing trust. Eventually we managed to off-leash train and we worked a lot on her recall so that we could enjoy longer walks and outdoor activities while ensuring that she always felt safe in her environment. At home we set her bed up in the kitchen, where we would pass our time cooking and spending a lot of quality time together. I had so many good years with my Sasha, and since she passed I have genuinely missed spending time with animals on a consistent basis. Since then, most if not all of my friends and family have entrusted me with taking care of their animals when they are busy or traveling, so I’ve had a lot of experience with many different pets and their varying needs/personalities. I work freelance as an artist. I am a musician, so I often stay at home practicing or composing. However most of my work is in the film industry, and this work ranges from smaller independent projects to network television. Although I do work on set sometimes, I try to take on as many post-production gigs as possible, so I often find myself sitting behind a desk all day. I have always made it a priority to work in a field that I am passionate about, and my decision to work with Rover has been no different. Caring for animals is not only something I am passionate about, but also a wonderful opportunity to go on walks and spend quality time with pets. I will always be very clear about any changes in my work schedule if those are to arise, but my reliability and dedication never wavers I have a fenced in yard and plenty of spaces in the house for your pet to wander and feel comfortable. I am also very trust worthy, organized, communicative, and extremely eager to work with you!

“Anna watched my puppy Humphrey throughout the day for 3 days with drop in visits and did great! She was super nice and followed all my instructions and Humphrey loved her! I would def recommend her and use her again!”


“Stacie took care of my two cats while I was away for an extended period. She was extremely communicative and kind and the cats were well taken care of! I could not have been happier with the experience and would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you very much, Stacie!”

From the moment they met, it was clear that Winnie absolutely adored her—and the feeling was mutual. Kelly was attentive, loving, and treated Winnie like her own. She made sure Winnie got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles, and she kept us updated with the sweetest photos and messages. It’s such a relief to know that someone so responsible and kind was looking after my girl. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup—and that’s all thanks to Kelly.

She has proven to be a patient, kind and reliable sitter and we can't recommend her enough for all your pet needs!”

Jonathan C.
“Jonathan has taken care of my Shiba Inu on multiple occasions and has always been great with him! My dog is a bit on a shy side and afraid of many loud sounds outside of the house but he was able to walk him around perfectly! I highly recommended him for any dog walking or dog boarding needs since he also has a adorable Golden Retriever that's friendly with everyone!”


Juliet P.
“Juliet has been an absolute blessing for both me and my 11-year-old black lab mix, Patrick. From the very first time they met, it was clear that there was something special between them—Patrick lights up the moment he sees her, tail wagging wildly as he runs to greet her with the biggest, happiest hello. It brings me such peace knowing he’s in the care of someone he adores and who genuinely adores him right back. Juliet is not only incredibly caring and attentive, but her love for animals shines through in everything she does. She treats Patrick like her own, and that means the world to me. She consistently keeps me updated with messages and photos when she's looking after him, which I deeply appreciate. Working with Juliet has always been an absolute pleasure—she’s reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely one of the kindest people I’ve met. I can't recommend her enough to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry family member.”
