“Shawn is awesome. He came for a meet and greet and our two cats were comfortable with him right away. Our boys have a special diet & one needs insulin and Shawn handled all of it with no issues - he even made his visits earlier than requested to keep the boys on their schedule. He’s very communicative and gives detailed notes on the visits - and lots of pictures. It was all very reassuring and our boys were happy and relaxed upon our return. Will continue to use Shawn as long as he’s available. Highly recommended! Thanks, Shawn!”
“Morgan was fantastic! Great communication! My kitties loved her! I enjoyed receiving little notes and photos! Morgan is 100% responsible and reliable. My heart and mind were at ease while I was away. I will definitely ask for Morgan again next time!”
About: I have had dogs ever since I was a little kid! I am a dog lover and I fortunately get to dog-sit quite often for my brothers and friends when they’re away on vacation or for work! I currently work a relatively remote job in analytics where I don’t have to go into the office and most of my workday is sitting down. Pet care works perfectly into breaking up my day where I can take walks every few hours! Whatever special needs your dog requires, I can accommodate for with proper instructions. I will try to make the most comfortable environment for your pet as possible.

I’m currently a hybrid worker where I can work from home some days! I am also available on weekends! Pet care is a part of my daily routine since I have my own dog. I have a fenced yard in my own home. I take my own dog out every couple hours or so when I can and give her two 30 min walks if I can.

About: Hi there, I am a marketing, events, and partnerships professional with a passion for animal care. I am a certified ski instructor, swim teacher, and wilderness leader with a passion for sports and the outdoors. In my free time you’ll find me volunteering at a local animal shelters and walking dogs around prospect park for NYC Sean Casey’s rescue. I have references from families I have worked for years for, and look forward for your family and animals to join my circle of loved animals. I am currently working freelance positions that do not require me to be in person M-F. I currently work part time for a pet care company out of Westchester and reside in Brooklyn. My family home is also an option for boarding, as well as my spacious apartment. I am open to traveling to all over the Tri-state area. I have been a animal care companion for years for local families who ask me to long term/short stay pet sit ( a three week stay was my longest) and even just do stop ins to water plants if they are away with their animals on holiday. For boarding my home is pet friendly with no restrictions on furniture, and no toxic plants in reach of any curious snouts. While I do not have a fence backyard, I have a patio and two large grassy spots with a long lead tie up for supervised outside time. We are two large lots down from a main road. I am always cautious, safety first, and respectful with all animals and other owners we may come in contact with, and always follow owners lead if socialization is acceptable for each situation.
About: I’ve been taking care of my dogs since I was 5 years old. My family back at my hometown has 4 dogs that I always dog sit and take care of. I am currently a teacher who is off for the summer! So taking care of a pet will fit right into my daily routine since I am pretty free and the moment. I currently have 4 dogs and usually dog sitting another. So I am used to a lot of dogs in the house. Since I already have many dogs I won’t be provided on boarding services.
About: I have dog walking experience for others as well as being a dog owner. I believe and feel that dogs are important to people and families, given the warmth and generous attention dogs give to their owners. I treat other dogs as if they were my own. You can be assured your instructions for your dog s needs and routines will be followed and that your dog will respond well to me. I am currently a college student, only working on my thesis to graduate in December, leaving me a lot of time to care for your dog. My references will tell you I am super responsible and caring.
About: My mom has always been an animal person, so I've had pets my whole life. She had 14 cats at one point with a dog so no matter how much of a handful a pet can be, it's not 14 cats at once!! I'm looking to enjoy time with your pets and meet all their needs! I'm currently working part-time Sunday-Thursday, so my schedule can be inconsistent, but I'll still have plenty of time to cater to your pups! I'm great with time management and organization. I have a fully fenced-in yard and a puppified house! We have gates and pink accessories everywhere you look for our new girl puppy, Moxie! I am very respectful and will make sure to clean up after myself and your pup.

Let me give your pet the love and exercise they deserve! I am currently attending school away from home. I will be available starting in may when I am back home. Feel free to request or reach out now! I am great and efficient at walking, feeding, and sitting every breed and size of dog and cat. If your pet needs to be crated I am great for that as well!
About: Hi! I’m Amanda :) I have two hotdogs that I am obsessed with & would love to care for and walk your dog! Call today I’m currently a SAHDM! Stay at home dog mom that is. Let me walk your cute pups if you can’t be home. They are in the best hands. While taking care of your dog, they will be the happiest they have ever been. Giving dogs something to look forward to in the middle of the day while their owner is not present is what I able to do.
“Camryn is AMAZING! I highly recommend!!! We were nervous to give ROVER another try since out last one wasn’t great but Camryn HAS INSTILLED FAITH BACK TO US!. We are so THANKFUL to have come across her. She was great with communication, was prompt, great at sending pic updates of my 2 dogs. She really put leaving our dogs at ease knowing they were going to be loved and taken care of . THANK YOU CAMRYN!!!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we were very happy with the service Barbara provided. Besides feeding, watering and walking our boys, she also did an excellent job of grooming both, giving Jax a neat, cool summer haircut and thinning out the massive amount of undercoat that Laiko (the Husky) was starting to shed. We highly recommend Barbara and would gladly hire her again. Thanks!”
“My husband and I left our three cats for five days. Carina did a famous job of taking care of them! They made sure that our babies had food, water, excise, and clean litter boxes while we were away. Every time Carina came over they took the cutest pictures of our cats, too! They were very communicative with us the whole time we were traveling. They told us when they came and would provide a written update every time they visited! When we came back from our trip our cats were calm and happy. When we go away in the future, we will be booking with Carina again! They were flexible, kind, friendly, and attentive to our cats needs. All and all it was a great experience and we felt confident in leaving our cats in Carina hands.”
About: Own a Shepherd-Chow mix and a short hair cat. I also routinely babysit for a family friend's golden retriever and house sit while they are away on vacations. I house sit for a friend with 3 cats on occasion. I also have experience giving shots to animals with medical issues if necessary. I work part time during the summer and am looking to supplement my teaching career. Would love to meet you and your animal(s) if you’d like before I take care of your fur babies! Over the summer I work part time and have plenty of time for walks and/or drop ins. Schedule changes weekly but not by much definitely able to accommodate your needs. During most weekdays I am a teacher so I will be out of the house 7-3:30 (unless there is a vacation or holiday) I shower all my pets with love at every chance I get. I am all about the belly rubs and my animals know it and love it!

Hanna W.
“We have known Hanna for over a decade, who has gotten to meet multiple of ours fur-babies throughout the years (Including our senior dog, who has unfortunately crossed over rainbow bridge). From the first time Hanna met our beloved Sammy, we could immediately tell she understood the importance in the love and care we had for our sweet boy. Hanna has given us the peace to trust her with our pets and has become a great addition to our little pack!”

Nicki D.
“Hello! I am writing on behalf of Nicki. She has cared for my puppy for me a few times, and I don't trust anyone else with my puppy. Nicki is loving and responsible. She made sure to make my puppy feel loved and safe (which is hard to do because I have a very sensitive little maltese) and kept her fed and happy and entertained. I knew that I left my puppy in great hands. I trust Nicki completely in my home and would recommend her to anyone who asks! She is confident and trustworthy, which are qualities a caregiver needs. She would be a great addition to the village that it takes to have a well cared for pet!”

I feel fortunate to have found someone like her, so committed and responsible with my pets. She was punctual and kept me updated on her visits. We had a small emergency with our dogs, and she knew how to take care of it and communicate with me immediately. I would definitely like to contact her as often as possible and when her schedule allows. THANK YOU. Mia and the pups love you Xinyi
