Information Sasha & Catherine S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or requires medication. I am not familiar administering shots, but can hide oral medication in food if necessary. Just be sure to include detailed list of requirements.

A typical day

We explore the Upper Ditmars area of Astoria. I try to stay clear of the N/W subway line as some pets don't like the noise. I frequent the dog parks under the RFK bridge and in Astoria Park. When walking your pet in Astoria Park, I'll never unleash them (unless given specific permission to do so).

Pet care experience

Me and my wife Cathy dog sit for friends all the time and love it. We're only a few blocks away from the dog park under RFK bridge, and 3 blocks away from Astoria Park — where we love to walk dogs. Spacious apartment in a house in a quiet street in Upper Ditmars with plenty of room for dog crates, toys, etc. so that your pet will feel comfortable. No kids in the apartment and we only board one dog at a time so it's a very chill environment.

Sasha and Catherine were wonderful hosts for Bandit. He has separation anxiety and needs some patience which they were more than up for the task of providing. They got him to take two walks, which he won't always do without his core family. They put us at ease every step of the way and we will definitely be using them again in the future! Thank you Sasha and Catherine!

Sasha & Cathy were absolute lifesavers. I am so glad we chose to leave our puppy Ron with them for the weekend. While Ron is a very sweet dog, he’s high energy and can be a lot of work—but they made it look easy. From the moment I met them, I felt relieved and could immediately tell he was in great hands. They were kind, capable, and clearly cared for him like their own. I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

Sasha and Cathy always do the best job taking care of our very anxious pup! Though there are many dog sitters in our neighborhood, we go out of our way to use them because we trust them fully to handle all of his special needs. We can tell Oscar feels comfortable with them too - a big deal for our selective dog!

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.
