Safety, trust & environment

I live steps from the Hudson River Esplanade in a doorman building in an area that is a doggie's dream for walks. Inside my apartment, your pets have their own chill spaces, blankets, or sofa, and I'm always there for them to play, feed, scratch, or just rest and relax.

Information Roger S. would like to know about your pet

The most important thing is to know if the dog is friendly with other dogs as I may sometimes have more than one guest. Otherwise, I understand each dog has their own unique needs, and we can go over any additional info by scheduling a meet and greet.

A typical day

I live right by the water so all of the local parks, the Esplanade, dog-runs, and nature are right outside my door. Usually walks will take us up and down the Esplanade, or at your request, a nearby dog-run.

Pet care experience

I've always considered myself a dog's best friend rather than the other way around. I've taken care of several pets (cats too) in the BPC and FiDi neighborhood with many repeat customers. I have experience with dogs of many breeds, ages, and sizes. I'm friendly, kind, mature, observant, and attentive to the needs of your furry friend.

Great to have Roger look after my cat while away. Paopao looked relaxed and well cared for when I got home. Really appreciate it!

The cats were shy as always, but Roger was great!

Roger was a fantastic sitter for Pistacho! From the start, he was very welcoming and ensured Pistacho felt comfortable. I really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear he genuinely cares for the dogs he watches. Would definitely book with him again! Highly recommend!

Roger did a great job caring for my sweet 12 week old puppy while I was at work. Would definitely recommend!

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.
