“Joe was great with our cat, Grits and very communicative while we were away. We came back to a happy cat and everything as we left it. Thank you so much for the peace of mind on our trip, Joe!”

“Alexa was great! She was incredibly responsive and took good care of our two kitties while we were away. She kept us updated throughout, and we could tell she genuinely cared about our cats. We would absolutely book her again!”

“I struggled with how to care for my two cats, a senior & a junior, while I went on vacation. Violet, my eldest cat, had just been diagnosed with kidney/bladder issues and required a stringent schedule of medication. I was completely put at ease after my meet & greet Kaitlynn. Her attitude & attention to detail were both professional & comforting. The daily updates were insightful & showed her familiarity with my "kids" and their needs. Our first experience with Rover has been a pleasure. Just knowing that there are dedicated sitters like Kaitlynn available at a time of need is a true relief.”

“Danielle was great during the drop in visit with my dogs and took the time to go above and beyond to make sure they were both taken care of before leaving. She is very attentive and I’ll definitely be booking her again for future visits and walks!”

Dylan M.

“Raquel took great care of our boys while we were away and was very responsive and prompt. We will definitely request her again for future trips and would recommend her services to others!”

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, pigs, sheep, and cows. I have been living with and caring for animals for over 15 years, whether it be for walks, day care or house sitting and overnights. I have a lot of experience with shy, timid and traumatized dogs. I have a lot of patience and respect each animal's needs. I have experience with administering medications and using an e-collar. I am currently in a graduate program. I have full availability most weekends and a flexible weekday schedule around classes. Please check with me about my Thurs/Fri availability as those are my heavier class days. I am a respectful, patient caring individual with lots of love and energy for animals. I am comfortable with crate trained animals, as well as those who sleep in the bed. I will make sure that your animal feels safe and comfortable by reading it's body language and communication around what it needs. I can be extremely affectionate and cuddly and respectful of space depending on what each individual needs. I adore and respect every animal's unique way of expressing themselves, whether it be rolling around tail wagging, nervously keeping to their corner or being a bully and vocal when they want something.

About: I have the ability to reinforce basic commands like sit, stay, and recall during walks or sitting sessions. I have the ability to channel their boundless energy in a productive way, whether through play or structured exercise. I have a 11 year old pit bull which gives me experience with caring for a senior dog but understanding the slower pace, possible joint pain, or health issues that may require extra care. Being observant of subtle signs of discomfort, such as limping & notifying the owner if needed. Knowledge of how to administration oral medications & liquids. I am currently an entrepreneur which gives me more free time to provide the necessary care for your pet care. With such a flexible schedule I’m able to be available any day & anytime My two dogs are fenced it at home where they have a nice big yard to exercise & run around. I also take them on frequent walks especially the senior dog to be able to be more mobile on his legs.

About: Note: We are currently training our new dog so best services to book are drop-in visits, walks, or sitting at your home. However, some exceptions may be possible for care at our home, feel free to message me to explore, thank you! 👋 Spoil your well-behaved pup in a lap of luxury with a HUGE 1-acre fenced yard that they can roam free in anytime they’d like. Conveniently located just off Route 17, we are a mature, responsible, and drama-free dog auntie and uncle who are both home full time — me as the primary caretaker, and my partner as a backup (if you’d like). It helps make coverage more reliable, and play time feel a lot more like family time for your pup (except no kids). We are not the types to be addicted to our phones because we believe in being present when spending time with fur friends. We also typically don’t take in too many so that we can provide more attention, and be available when you need us. It’s quality over quantity for us! :) Before requesting a stay, please read my “About” section to see if we are a good fit for each other! Ps. I don’t charge if you are late to pickup by a few hours, so don’t worry about that. New Rover Customers: Use my referral link to get $20 off your first service https://www.rover.com/sit/melindac23 I do sometimes get requests to watch pups in NYC but my spouse and I are both currently home in NJ full-time. I believe in mutual respect, gentle care, and transparency, and would treat your pup the same way I would want mine to be cared for. My friends’ furbabies affectionately call me “auntie” :) I understand how being away from your loved one can cause stress or anxiety (unfortunately, we had a bad experience with a sitter once, so I personally relate to this feeling all too well). I can provide multiple updates a day (or less) if you’d like — photos, videos, and even video calls — whatever will help you feel comforted that they are safe and well cared for. We have a unique property, a huge, park-like fully-fenced yard on a cul-de-sac street (but the fence is only 4 ft high, please confirm that your dog cannot jump it). I have a medium size crate if your pups like them. Multiple dog beds throughout the house and no more than 5 stairs anywhere. I’m equipped to take in two dogs at a time, but I don’t have to if you prefer your pup to have a solo stay.

“Christine has been such a blessing for us. We recently brought into our home a wonderful shelter dog who needed a lot of love and attention, and was initially suffering from severe separation anxiety whenever someone would leave the room. It has also been more than 15 years since we've had a dog and needless to say we were rusty. From day 1 of the meet and greet with Christine, our dog Dot immediately felt comfortable around her, our kids listened intently to her suggestions, explanations and stories of her own going through similar experiences. She's provided consistent advice and support (outside the formal drop-in/walking sessions we pay for). She has her own dogs and fosters dogs as well... and it's clear she does not do this for the money, but purely for her love of dogs. She posts updates during every visit, sends pics, cleans up if there's been an accident, and provides ideas/suggestions when she can. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 20 years, my own and others. I have compassion for all animals and I want to focus on building trust. I currently work full time but that I am able to stop by before and after work. I do not work weekends so I am able to stop by then as well. I will walk, feed and play with your furry friend. If your pet needs medications administered, I’d be happy to do that for you as well.

About: I've been a dog owner for 20 wonderful years, dogs are my passion! They love me and I love them, from puppies to seniors, toys to giants. I am lucky have a fenced in, wooded, private, 2 acre property with plenty of room for zoomies. My beagle, Piglet, is also a fine hostess. She loves to have canine company to play with, then snuggle with us and relax at my comfy, quiet home together. Piglet is my sweet rescue senior beagle. She's friendly, quiet and submissive. She has the final say on who may enter Her Queendom. Dogs are my main gig, so I will be with your babies almost 24/7. When I go out, I bring Piglet and friends along with me everywhere I can, especially to parks, trails and forests. But if your dog is more of a homebody, I can easily stay home with them all day. I live in a safe, wooded, quiet, 2 acre, fenced-in lot. There are lots of dogs on my block who love to socialize and have play dates if that's what your dog is into. I'm at the end of a dirt road, nowhere near any traffic, so it is very safe and private.

About: For the past two years, I’ve been the trusted go-to sitter for my friend’s dog while they travel frequently. My flexible schedule allows me to be readily available when needed, ensuring pets receive consistent care and attention. I treat every dog as if they were my own—always refreshing their water, making sure they have enough food, and spending quality time playing with them. Whether it’s a quick visit or an extended stay, I prioritize their happiness and well-being! As a self-employed professional with a super flexible schedule, I can easily plan my day around pet care. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit or a longer stay, I have the flexibility to adjust my routine and ensure pets get the attention they need. Their well-being is always a priority, and I’m able to accommodate last-minute requests or extended stays when needed! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I always refresh their water, ensure they have enough food, take them for walks or playtime, and provide plenty of attention so they feel at ease while their owner is away. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m committed to making sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for in their own familiar environment.

“Thank you so much Kathleen and Justin for spending time with Junie especially while recovering from her surgery. Looking forward to more visits in the future!”

“Ciara is an excellent pet sitter! Her background in animal hospitals gave us great confidence in her abilities. She's was very accommodating, fitting into our schedule seamlessly. We loved receiving daily pictures and updates from her, which showed how well she cared for our cat. We highly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy and skilled pet sitter.”

About: Hi there! I’m Amy and I’m engaged to my Fiancé Mike. We have a dog named Finnegan and live in Pearl River. We understand how difficult it can be sometimes with pet care so we decided to join Rover to help out our fellow pet parents! Looking forward to taking care of your little one when needed! I’m lucky because I work 7- noon each day and my partner works night shift so there is someone home all the time. It’s the perfect place for a pet to always have company. I can crate your dog if needed! But, I am blessed with my location in Rockland NY with a fenced in backyard and also surrounded by parks that I walk each day and would love to bring your pup along with me!

About: I have watched pets most of my life of friends, and family. I take the time to get to know their personalities, routines, and special needs, because I believe every pet deserves personalized care and attention. I have a traditional 9–5 job which is local. Morning would feed and walk. Lunch would be midday walk. Evening would be walk, spending play time and evening feeding. Weekends I’m home spending time with pet. I have plenty of room to accommodate your pets space. I can also crate if you want. I also have a large front yard for play time. There are sidewalks all through town, which is close to my home for walks.
