Pet Sitting Morningside

“Cara was so sweet and made my first Rover experience so smooth and amazing! I was worried because my dog is very hyper and can be crazy on a leash, but she handled it like a pro and was so great to work with!”

About: I’ve spent much of my career in the animal health industry and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, from energetic youngsters to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. I also have experience administering medications to both dogs and cats, including oral, topical, and injectable medications, and I’m comfortable following established medication schedules and detailed care instructions. As a pet parent myself, I know that every animal has their own personality, routine, and quirks. I’m comfortable with shy or anxious pets, senior animals, and pets who simply need a little extra time to warm up. For dogs staying in my home, I work from home and am there most of the day, allowing for frequent potty breaks, plenty of attention, and lots of company. I intentionally keep boarding small-scale so your dog can feel like part of the household rather than one of many pets in a busy boarding environment. Most importantly, I want you to feel as comfortable while you're away as your pet does with me. You can expect reliable communication, photos, and updates so you always know how they're doing. I work from home, which gives me lots of flexibility for pets staying in my home. For drop-in visits, I’m generally available mornings through 10 AM, with limited weekday afternoon availability around 3 PM and more flexibility on weekends. I’ll always confirm timing with you before booking so we can make sure your pet’s routine and needs are a good fit. Keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible is my priority. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, potty breaks, and household routines carefully. For dogs staying with me, I have a fenced backyard and work from home, so they’ll have plenty of supervision, frequent potty breaks, and lots of company throughout the day. I also have pets of my own, so meet-and-greets are important to make sure everyone will be comfortable together.

“Fit me in pretty last minute for a holiday weekend, always appreciate her and her husband's flexibility!! They've watched my cat in the past when he had some pretty intensive medication needs and again this time when his meds were pretty light and straightforward. I always feel like he's in good hands and I don't have to worry about him when they watch him. Love the photos at every check in and that they spend quite a bit of time with him at each check in!”

“Luz was very flexible and understand when I accidentally had the wrong address! She did a wonderful job taking care of my cat!”

Bri B.

“Can’t say enough amazing things! Madeline is the best and my heart is so happy to have someone so wonderful check on my gals while traveling!”

Keleigh K.

“Stephanie was so helpful and kind with our two dogs! This was a first time using Rover and Stephanie exceeded all needs and eased our worry. With a senior dog who needs extra care and a younger dog who has much more energy, she was able to accommodate both of our boys to keep them happy and safe!”

Reilly K.

“Ron is great and SO reliable. I never wonder for even a moment whether he’ll show up as scheduled or care for our dogs as we request. I can see in the photos he takes that the dogs greet him at the door with toys to show off to him — an unmistakable sign that they are happy to see him!”

Becky S.

“Hanna was great with our kitties! She sent lots of updates and pictures. It was so nice to see our kitties every day and not have to worry about them! Hanna made sure eat cat got some love and playtime during each of her visits. She really cares and went above and beyond in caring for our pets!”

Amy C.

“Great last minute visit from Christina! She took time to come meet my dog prior to the visit for her comfort, got the lay of the land and my dog liked her immediately! I appreciate her returning to make sure my house was locked up appropriately too! We will be a return customer!”

Tamara M.

“Arabella was super responsive and communicative while checking on my kitties. She sent lots of videos and pictures that helped ease my traveling anxiety and let me know they were in good hands. Would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for a great sitter!”

Jordan L.

“Meg is absolutely spectacular! The moment my little senior guy met her, he loved her! She took such great care of him, just feel like I lucked out it finding Meg!”

About: Lifelong Animal Lover with Advanced Care Experience I grew up surrounded by both dogs and cats, and my life has always revolved around animal companionship. I don't just love pets; I understand them deeply. Because I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits (up to 3 times a day), my focus is entirely on providing structured, safe, and attentive care right in your pet's familiar environment. Expert Medical & Senior Pet Care I have extensive, hands-on experience managing complex care for pets of all life stages, including disabled senior animals. If your pet has specialized needs, they are in highly capable hands. I am fully confident and experienced with: Administering oral medications, pill hiding, and precise schedules. Managing advanced medical treatments, including injectables and subcutaneous (Sub-Q) fluids. Assisting pets with mobility aids, harnesses, and specialized diets. Managing senior pet hygiene, including diaper changes and cleanup. Understanding Behavioral Quirks & Big Personalities As a proud owner of two large bully breeds—one who manages severe anxiety and reactivity, and another a rescue recovering from past neglect—I understand that not every dog is a textbook "easy" walker. I am trained in patience, hyper-vigilant environmental awareness, and reading subtle animal body language to keep your reactive, fearful, or strong pup safe on walks. My home is also run by three incredible cats ranging from 3 to 10 years old (including an aloof kitty, a social butterfly, and a sweet disabled cat requiring extra patience). Having previously rehabilitated a rescue cat who became disabled with age, I know exactly how to respect a feline's boundaries while ensuring their needs are met. Whether your cat wants a high-energy play session, gentle grooming, or just a quiet human presence to keep them company, I adapt entirely to their mood. Because I work from home full-time, my schedule is highly flexible and reliable. I am available throughout the day to accommodate your pet's specific routine, offering dog walking and drop-in visits anywhere from 1 to 3 times a day. Here is how my lifestyle benefits you and your pet: Punctual & Consistent Timing: Since I am not tied to a rigid office commute, I can visit your pet at their preferred times for meals, medication, or potty breaks. Mid-Day Break Specialists: I am readily available for lunch-time walks to break up the day for high-energy dogs, puppies, or senior pets who cannot hold it for long. Rapid Emergency Response: Working locally from home means I am never far away. If your pet has a sudden change in schedule or an urgent need, I can adapt quickly. Your peace of mind is my top priority. I treat every animal with the same meticulous care, patience, and fierce love that I give to my own unique fur family. Here is what I bring to every walk or drop-in visit: Frequent Photo & Video Updates: My camera roll is already completely full of my own pets. You can expect detailed, visual updates during every single visit so you know your pet is thriving. Proactive Dog Safety: I bring hyper-vigilant environmental awareness, patience, and deep knowledge of subtle animal body language to every walk. This ensures your reactive, fearful, or strong pup stays completely safe. Customized Cat Care: I know exactly how to respect a feline's boundaries while ensuring their needs are met. Whether your cat wants a high-energy play session, gentle grooming, or just a quiet human presence, I adapt entirely to their mood.

“Jennifer was wonderful with my dogs. She sent photos and made sure all of my dogs’ needs were met. I felt very comfortable with her taking care of my dogs.”

“Texted with pics every visit. The kitties came out and seemed to really like her. She did everything on the list. Would definitely hire again!”

About: I have been entrusted with the care of many friends and neighbors pets since I was 10 years old. I have my own cat, Pidge, who I trained to go on walks and do tricks. He’s very friendly and people oriented. I just adopted an Aussie puppy and have been adapting her to the world and keeping her mentally stimulated. I am a detail oriented and thorough sitter. If your pet has special quirks or needs I am more than willing to abide! I can go over their training, take them on a walk and prepare special treats or meals. Anything to ensure my visit is as close to their usual routine as possible. Your pets comfort and care is my top priority. My schedule works perfectly for date nights, concerts, and any special events you may have in the evening during the week. Weekends I’m fully available. If you want your dog to get some socialization I’m also willing to orchestrate a play date with my dog (after an initial meet with you present). I would love to check in on your pet or take your dogs (or cats) for a walk! I work full time so I am available on weekdays in the morning, evening and overnight. Weekends all day. I can visit after work and take them on a walk, feed them, let them out to potty, check their food/water, do some training, etc. I am detail oriented and will make sure I follow the specific routine and guidelines you require for your pet. In my own home I have a daily schedule for my puppy’s training in 10min increments to maximize her training and behavioral development, as well as give her my undivided attention in the hours she’s awake. I wouldn’t hesitate to go above and beyond for your pets as well. I care about the well being and safety of all animals and will make sure every pet in your home is treated with respect.

“Monica provided great care for my cat like she always does. she provided pictures and videos of him and also gave updates as she did the drop ins. Monica administered his insulin well and with care! My cat loves her!”

“Mallory was great! She was kind and professional and gave great updates and you could tell she cared for my dogs - I would definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and I am super passionate about animals. I have experienced both owning and sitting animals of all ages (especially puppies) and I would love to get to know your fuzzy friends!😊 I am a student, but currently on break for the summer so I am very flexible! I am a runner so long walks don’t bother me at all. Animals are one of my passions so I will be giving your fur baby as much attention as it needs. Whether that is a walk, a food and water refill, some pets or a simple potty break, I will be there!

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and had a mini dachshund for 15 years. Over the last decade I've been called on numerous times to watch and board dogs for friends, family and neighbors. I am a single dad who has custody of my kids 50/50 so when I don't have them I could give a dog my full attention and be its buddy! On weekends we could hit a trail or go for a long walk at a park. Monday through Friday I usually leave for work around 6:45 or 7, and will return home around 4 pm. And in the evening we'll hang out and have fun! I live within walking distances to a few parks for walks. The Trolley Trail is nearby too if your pet likes a bit of a longer walk.
