Lane showed up for a very late notice walk and was great with timing and responsiveness, and had been a reliable and trustworthy walker for my (very old) dog Peanut. Peanut loves the walks, comes back tired out from a good walk and happy. Highly recommend!

I booked Siujen on a very short notice because our usual dogwalker called sick. She was above and beyond, even though i contacted her few hours before the walk, and she never met me or Lola nor was at our house before. Siujen was very communicative, asked the right questions and wanted to know the important details and that made me feel that lola is going to be in good hands. During walk she took plenty of pictures and videos, updated me on everything and i felt so relaxed. Will definitely book again we are blessed to meet you. Definitely recommend. Thank you!

Meghan has been a great dog walker for my two chihuahuas. She understands the way their little reactive brains work which I really appreciate since they are not always the easiest to walk. One of my dogs also gets nervous when unknown people are in her space and by the second visit she was already excited to see Meghan. Meghan is also very responsive to texts and any requests I have.

About: Hi! A dog and cat lover based in UWS— I’m new to Rover but have been taking care of pets for over a decade! I’m a reliable, attentive pet sitter who genuinely loves spending time with animals :) I’ve cared for both cats and dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a slower, more gentle pace. I know it can feel scary to leave your loved furry friend for any amount of time but with me, I promise loving, special, and safe care! I have experience handling different temperaments, routines, and needs including administering medications, managing allergies, and adapting to each pet’s unique preferences. Whether it’s a quick visit, daily walks, or longer stays, I’m always happy stepping in and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I work a hybrid schedule with a lot of flexibility throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, walks, and care. I’m in-office Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but available for morning/evening care those days, and fully flexible the rest of the week for drop-ins, walks, and sitting. I’m able to adapt to your pet’s routine and make sure they’re getting the attention and activity they need! I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and attentive environment for every pet. I have a private outdoor backyard and live just a one minute walk from central park, so dogs get plenty of fresh air, exercise, and stimulation. I’m experienced with pets of all ages, temperaments, and needs including medications and allergies and I always follow owner instructions closely. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times :)

Adolfo is very detail oriented, and picks up where I leave off, e.g. making sure there’s enough light for my pet and they’re water is always full. If I forget something, he remembers, and it makes a huge difference. All in addition to reliable and meaningful walks around the neighborhood!

Neil did a wonderful job caring for our pets while we were out of town for a few days. He took great care of our dogs, gave them their walks, and also made sure our cats were fed and had fresh water as well. He was reliable, communicative, and gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were in good hands. We really appreciated everything he did and would happily book with him again. Highly recommend!
