Hilda is an absolute gem! I can’t stress enough how much I appreciate her and her love and attention towards my kitty. Hilda has been my go to in the past and will continue to be! This was the longest period of time I have spent away from my kitty in 5 years (since I adopted her) and I felt so comfortable and confident knowing Hilda was caring for her- I was actually able to relax and enjoy my vacation without worry. I trust her implicitly with my pet and couldn’t recommend her more, if you are looking for not only a highly reliable but also animal LOVING care taker for your fur baby, Hilda is the one. ❤️❤️

Hilda and Dante are hands down our dog's favorite sitters. She never wants to leave them to come home. We have moved and it's no longer convenient to get to them (3 trains and a bus), but it's always worth it because we know our dog will be happy and well cared for and we'll get regular updates and photos without needing to ask. Hilda and Dante are super reliable, communicative, prompt, and honestly take the best photos of our pup.

Schedule

It's that time of the year for brisk weather! We'd enjoy morning cardio with your pooch to watch the sun rise / set. We take your fur babies on field trips from dog beaches, to doggy yoga to dog cruises around Manhattan. We also love to celebrate birthdays so let us know if your pup has one coming up.

Please let us know if your pet has a specific diet or any special needs we can take into account when caring for them. Pet parents will be asked a series of safety and health-related questions to ensure the overall well-being of their loved one during their stay.
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.
