Pet care experience

WFH Founder & Professional Pet Snug

I’ve been the go to "pet person" for neighbors and family since I was 10 years old. With 16 years of hands on experience, I’ve handled everything from high energy puppies in training to soulful seniors who require a gentle touch and a strict medication schedule. As a startup founder, I’ve built my life around attention to detail and reliability. I don’t just "watch" pets. I learn their "vibe." Whether your dog needs a power walk through the park or a calm hangout buddy. I adapt to their personality. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds and am never phased by a "stubborn" walker or a pet with separation anxiety.

Safety, trust & environment

I will treat your home like a sanctuary. I’m a "shoes off" sitter who understands NYC cleanliness standards! Safety is my #1 priority: I am a "double checker" of harnesses, I never allow off leash play in unfenced areas, and I am hyper vigilant about street safety during walks. You won't just get a blurry photo, you’ll get high quality cinematic updates of your pet’s day. You’ll never have to wonder how they’re doing. You’ll see their happy face in 4K.

Alexander was great! I was out of the country and got daily updates from him on how my babies were doing so that I was at ease. Would definitely recommend

Schedule

My life as a startup founder means I work from home full time with total flexibility. Unlike sitters with a 9-to-5, I am physically present all day. This allows me to: • Provide potty breaks every 2–3 hours (or whenever needed). • Stick to complex feeding and medication schedules without interruption. • Accept last minute bookings for those "stuck at the office" nights that are so common in NYC.

I want to make sure your pet has the best possible experience, so I’d love to know about their routine, personality, and any special needs. Please share details like feeding schedules, energy level, triggers, medical needs, or behaviors (like anxiety, leash reactivity, etc.). Let me know what they love favorite toys, treats, or activities, and anything they don’t enjoy. The more I know, the better I can provide a safe, personalized, and stress free experience for your pet.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
