“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!”

“Lamby had a great time on his walk! It was raining but Nicholas still gave him an awesome walk and Lamby has been passed out for the last hour! Thank you Nicholas!”

“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!”

“Seoyoung and Donguk are extremely reliable and responsive, taking great care of Gus on his walks!! I can tell by the photos they share that he is a happy pup with them.”

“Emily is so sweet, thoughtful, responsible and my dog also loves her! I’m scared to give her a rave review because everyone should use her and my dog wants her all to herself 😃”

“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 :)
“Juan has been an amazing dog walker, and my corgi absolutely loves him. He is reliable, trustworthy, and always accommodating when scheduling changes come up. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with, and I always feel confident knowing my pup is in good hands. Juan is friendly, professional, and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker.”

“We have booked Neil multiple times and he has always cared for our dog - Guinness well. When our dog was upset with us leaving, he even brought him back home to just stay with him and play with him. So nice that he considered our dog’s mood.”

“Wonderful experience with Olivia! She has a friendly, easy going demeanor, followed all instructions well and my dog enjoyed her company! Would definitely book her again.”

“Marie was the absolute best with Calvin! Gave regular updates, was very communicative on schedules, wiped his paws when they came back after the walk. Highly recommend!”

“Ashley took good care of my dog, and was very professional. She takes responsibility and is there to help if there is an issue. She is a good person to work with.”

“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!”

“Drew is amazing! I had a hectic travel schedule with some last-minute changes, and Drew was incredibly accommodating and flexible through it all. He sent frequent photo updates of my girls, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I came home to very happy girls—I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”

“Ryan did a great job looking after my dog Kira. He was timely with her walks, always ensured she had food and water, and if he ever had a question was not afraid to ask. She seemed in great spirits when I got home. Happy with his work.”

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!

Kelly was an absolutely fantastic pet caretaker. She was responsive, responsible, and communicative, PLUS wonderful with our dog Hank. What more could you want!? Our dog can sometimes be a bit challenging, but Kelly was great with him, and I felt really confident leaving Hank in her hands. We’ll be working with Kelly again and you should too! Thank you Kelly!! 🐶🐶

Keegan was amazing with Mars!! He was very considerate of his needs and made sure mars wasn’t too hot on the walk and gave him so much attention! I could tell when I got home how happy mars was to play during the day :) will definitely continue to use Keegan’s walking services and strongly recommend him to anyone!!

Kelly and Frank were such kind, considerate, and communicative walkers for Tito! They went the extra mile coordinating with my other dog sitter and paid extra care to Tito’s injured paw by adjusting his walking schedule and playing with him inside. I would definitely book them again in the future!

Birger was fantastic with Moana! He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about her well being. He kept me updated throughout the walk and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Moana came back happy. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to other pet parents!
