Pet care experience

Reliable in-home NYC dog sitter

I’ve spent the last 4+ years caring for both dogs and cats, and I’ve lived with pets my entire life. I’m comfortable with daily routines including feeding, leash walks, playtime, and providing companionship in the home. I understand how important consistency is, especially in NYC apartments, so I follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I’m attentive, patient, and respectful of both pets and homes, and I take pride in being reliable and communicative.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, routine, and respect for the space. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, leash guidelines, and any household rules. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and body language and adjust care accordingly. I always make sure doors and windows are secure, keep food and harmful items out of reach, and provide a calm, clean environment. Clear communication with owners is important to me, and I will reach out right away if I have any questions or concerns.

I have a flexible schedule and am able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I plan my day around walks, feeding times, and check-ins so your pet’s routine stays as normal as possible while you’re away

Before booking, I like to know your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, walking preferences, and any medical needs. It’s also helpful to know how your pet does on leash, around other dogs or people, and if there are any behaviors I should be aware of.
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.
