“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Anny is amazing! She took such great care of Belle and Nacho on their walk. She was punctual, communicative, and treated them with genuine love. Both dogs came back happy and relaxed. I feel totally comfortable trusting her with my pups, and I’m definitely booking her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been caring for pets for many years. Over time, I’ve helped friends and family by walking their dogs, caring for their pets, and even housing them while they were away on vacation. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and exercise. I’m available several days a week for walks, check-ins, and giving your pets extra care and attention while you’re busy. Whether your dog needs a quick walk or a longer outing, I’d love to help care for your lovely pets! I have a fenced large yard with plenty of space! Your dog can run around in the safety of the yard and have a blast !
“Hemei has been great with my dog Kiara! She walks her a 3-4 times a week and is very responsive, professional, and communicative. She is very flexible with her schedule which is amazing since my week to week work schedule sometime varies. Hemei made the extra trek for a meet and greet before starting so that I could rest assured that my dog would be comfortable with her. She is reliable and a true dog lover and you know she will look after your fur baby as her own. Highly recommend her!”
“Very good job taking care of Echo and be flexible with times to walk him. Kamryn is receptive to advice about the dog and seemed to be excited to interact with him during walks.”
About: I've been taking care of cats and dogs and majority of my life so I'm able to take care of them by walking feeding and etc . Since I'm at school part-time I will have plenty of time to play and take care of your your pet especially on weekends and holidays I can't host pets in my home but I would love to give them love care and fun though walks drop-ins or sitting visits at yours
About: What sets me apart is my calm, observant approach and the amount of care I put into making animals feel genuinely safe and comfortable. I’m patient with shy, anxious, high-energy, or senior pets, and I pay close attention to routines, behavior changes, and individual personalities. I’m highly reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, so owners can trust that instructions will be followed carefully and their pets will get thoughtful, attentive care rather than just a quick check-in. I’m a freelancer and student, Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m organized, reliable, and good at maintaining consistent feeding, play, medication, and check-in schedules. I also like quieter routines, so spending time caring for cats feels calming and grounding rather than stressful or rushed. I care for pets with a lot of attention, patience, and respect for their routines and boundaries. In a client’s home, I make sure food, water, litter, medications, and general cleanliness are handled carefully while also giving the cat affection, enrichment, or space depending on their personality. I pay close attention to behavior changes and prioritize creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. Always happy to send updates and tidy up!
“Dean is great!! Super reliable, communicative and amazing with my dog Dior. I booked Dean superrr last minute this weekend and he responded immediately, kept me updated throughout the walks and I can’t wait to book him again”
About: Hi! I’m Amae — a lifelong animal lover who truly grew up surrounded by pets. I was raised with a sweet pit bull and two cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural (and happy) part of my life. I also have experience helping my mom with babysitting and pet care through the app, so I understand the importance of trust, communication, and consistency when caring for someone else’s fur babies. I’m currently a responsible college student who loves being around animals in my free time. Right now, I’m also a bunny mom, so I’m used to routines, gentle handling, and giving lots of love and attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I know how special pets are, and I’d be happy to help care for yours 🐶🐱🐰✨ Pet care is already a built-in part of my daily routine. Every day, I make time to feed and play with my cat, as well as care for my bunny. That means fresh food and water, enrichment time, cleaning their spaces, and making sure they’re both getting attention and affection. I really value creating a calm, consistent routine for animals, so checking in on them throughout the day has just become second nature to me. In other people’s homes, I respect house rules, keep things tidy, and maintain clear communication so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s checking collars and leashes before walks, monitoring playtime, or making sure they have fresh water. I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention I give my own.
“Ari has been great with my pup. During the meet and greet, he asked great questions and played with Nala which made me feel more comfortable. I will definitely continue to use his services and Nala seems to like him too!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs and my family for almost 15 years. I also work for a dog walking/ sitting company throughout college! I am currently working part-time. I have a lot of extra time on my hands help you with your your furry friend! I can walk them or check in on them whenever you need! I always make sure our furry friend is secured in their leash or harness. I also have a backyard if they decide to join me and my golden retriever, Zelda, at our house!
About: I had a love for animals since I was a kid. My father currently has two cats and a poodle. I have also taken care of my friend dogs by driving from Boston! I’m new to New York and I’m currently between jobs. At the moment I’m currently in school remotely. This means I’m pretty much open at anytime. I have taken care of my family and friends pet. No task has been presented hard. I’m a outgoing person but also someone who will pay attention to every detail when It come to care
“Lucy is taking Dobby for 1-h walks twice a week. He was a little shy to go at the beginning but then came back very happy. They go to the park and he seemed to have lots of fun! Thank you, Lucy!”
“Deshauna walked and gave meds for our Yorkie, Champy. Deshauna accommodated our request for a meet-and-greet prior to walking him for the first time, which was important to explain the medication. During the walk, she arrived on time and was attentive to Champy's needs, and gave medication. Sent pictures and updates. I highly recommend!”
About: I love all animals and once my dog Snow passed away I decided to extend my help to any pet parents out there that need a little support. I’m also on Wag! The best workout you can possibly have is walking your dog or playing with your cat. It’s way better than going to the gym everyday. :) When I have a pet in my care I always make it a priority to get very detailed instructions for the pets care and always send periodic pictures and video updates to the pet parent
About: I’ve taken care of pets all my life, I care for them with all my heart. All pets in my care will be treated as my own, and won’t be left unattended. I look forward to growing new relationships with dogs and their owners. I am a stay at home mom, so I have all the time in the world to care for dogs. I am always available and all dogs in my care are safe and loved! I have a fenced backyard where dogs can play and use the bathroom. I always keep it clean and safe and we also have a small pool if your dog likes the water. My dog will ALWAYS stay separate from your dog as an extra safety precaution ❤️
About: I’ve had my dog for 6 years now. Since getting her I have taken care of her by feeding her, taking her on walks, spending time with her in general, and being the sole care taker when my family is away. I also worked at a pet supplies store for 9 months, only leaving to go to college. There I learned about what dogs and cats need in general as well as got experience interacting with the many different types of dogs when they entered the store. There I met a dog, Neo, who I got to know when I became there dog walker. It gave me experience in walking a dog and getting to know a dog that wasn’t my own. I’m excited at the prospect of working for you and your dog or cat. Animals are truly some of the best things the world has to offer and I promise to do my absolute best to take care of them! I will be at home for all of winter break, and my true passion of being an actress means that much of my work is self tape auditioning. Therefore, I will have a lot of free time during the week and weekend! The most important part is making sure the dog is safe, for me this means making sure the dog doesn’t have access to anything that could be harmful, as well as when taking the dog on walks having the harness fully on in the correct manner and being on the lookout for other dogs/cars/and anything else that could potentially cause danger. That being said it is also important that I care for the dog by spending time with them, giving them treats(based on the owner’s preference), and petting them.
About: Hi my name is Tabitha, every body calls me Tabi for short. I am a huge animal lover. I love all animals of all breeds and sizes. I grew up with animals my whole life. I've had hamsters, rabbits, dogs, cats, turtles, etc. Mostly cats and dogs. I am interested in animal caring because i want a puppy so bad, but will not be able to get one any time soon. My last dog Oreo, was a pit bull, and i had her for 13 years (her whole life). I live in an apartment and have a cat. I am home 80% of the time and i am always alone. The other 20% i am out running errands. I will like to enjoy the company of an energetic, playful, outgoing, silly and loving dog, cat, etc, who can make my day a bit brighter. I will love, cherish, and enjoy the company of your pet(s), as if they were my very own. Pet sitting is my primary focus, as I am home 80% of the day. My routine is very flexible, only stepping out briefly for quick errands, which means your fur baby will have constant companionship and supervision. Because I’m around so much, I can easily stick to your pet's specific feeding, potty, and play schedules without any interruptions. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. When I’m in a client's home, I maintain a calm and secure environment, ensuring all doors and gates are double-checked. Since I grew up in a family that always had more cats than dogs, I am an expert at reading body language to ensure pets feel safe and never overstimulated. I provide frequent updates and photos so you can have total peace of mind while you're away.
About: I am a highly skilled pet caregiver based in the Bronx with extensive experience in managing the care of dogs and cats in the city and the boroughs. I have successfully handled anxious and high-energy pets, as well as animals with complex dietary needs and challenging leash behaviors. I am more than capable of caring for pets with detailed care instructions. When entrusted with your pet, you can expect frequent and detailed photo and text updates to keep you informed on how your fur baby is doing. I guarantee to keep your pet entertained and engaged in your absence, ensuring a worry-free experience for you. Your pet will receive the same level of care and attention as if they were my own! I work part-time in the entertainment industry, so I have a very flexible schedule. I update my Rover calendar weekly. For the time being, I can only accept bookings accessible by NYC public transportation, including Metro-North and NJ Transit. I have been vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19. I am happy to wear a mask when interacting with humans in your home if requested - I may also mask for my safety. For dogs' safety, I do not take dogs to dog parks, take them off-leash, or simultaneously walk dogs from different households unless I am extremely familiar with the dogs' behavior and the activity is approved by the owners.
Locust Point dog parents share their Rover experiences
Janet is an outstanding dog walker! She bonded immediately with our two English Setters, and they happily anticipate her arrival when it is time for a walk to our nearby park. Janet sends us photos, videos, and updates throughout the walk. She keeps up a brisk pace but is sensitive enough to allow the girls to sniff when they wish, without them sneaking any inappropriate "snacks" that might be lingering on the path. Janet has an upbeat personality, and is always on time yet very flexible. We can’t recommend her highly enough!
Iris was so so amazing, she was super understanding towards my dogs personality since she’s more on the shy side, she was super sweet and made sure I was aware of everything that was going on. I felt so at ease having her come over to my place! Would definitely book her again and recommend her to everyone! ❤️
Anny is excellent, kind, sweet, and attentive. She arrived right on time, and my dogs loved their walks with her. Walks were documented, and I loved getting picture updates. My dogs were happy to see her when it was time for their walks. I would recommend Anny to anyone looking for dog walking and boarding! :)
I can’t say enough great things about Yolanny! She took care of my dog, Princess, for a full week and was absolutely amazing the entire time. She went above and beyond—feeding her on schedule, taking her on walks, sending me pictures and updates every day, and treating Princess with such kindness and care. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was not only safe but genuinely happy while I was away. Yolanny is reliable, thoughtful, and truly has a gift with animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog walker—you’ll be lucky to have her!
