About: I was a volunteer supervisor at the same no kill NYC rescue organization weekly from 2007- 2020. I have cared for dogs and cats of all types with all kinds of issues. I have worked as a dog walker and watched cats prior to Rover. I have fostered and owned both dogs and cats. I have watched up to 5 dogs at any one time in my own home. My current senior dog is petrified of NYC and I do everything it takes to make her walks as pleasurable as possible. I truly love them all. I work FT from home and I take care of my neigbors dogs and cats pro bono. I cannot think of anything else that I would rather do. This isn't work to me. I can do Fridays, weekends and evenings (any day of the week) and depending on your needs, I may be able to flex my schedule around your pets and do weekdays as well. I will follow the client's instructions for their pets. I know how important it is to take care of a pet per the owner's instructions. I will only alert the client if I am not clear on the instructions or detect some sort of danger.
“Emily was a great communicator and excellent drop in sitter for our cat, Charlie, while we were away for the weekend! We are definitely looking forward to having her help again!”
“Hennessy was perfect. She played with the kittens, and also cleaned up a plant they’d knocked over, which she definitely didn’t need to do. She was communicative, and sent many adorable pictures of the cats having fun playing.”
“Hannah did a fantastic job looking after our pup in our home for 10 days while we were on vacation. Hannah asked great questions about Lola's temperament during our visit and was even able to calm her down during a thunderstorm - no small feat! I appreciated the frequent updates and Lola clearly enjoyed all of her walks and playing fetch. Hannah also kept our home in great shape. We'll definitely hire Hannah again!”
About: I worked 1 year in pet boarding. And bath groomer. I cared every single breed and also cared a lot cats. It’s amazing !!!I loved it I’m available to play all afternoon. I really love spent my time with them. In the morning I have a job but I’ve arrived always early to my home. I always take care to them. Hours to eat, hours to play, to go to walk, most importantly make feel the dog comfortable and also the costumer. I am currently not working but have a few errand along the day. In the morning as soon as I wake up I would take care of the cleaning pet area, feeding and walking if needed. I would repeat the process in the afternoon. I make sure to keep everything as clean as possible, separate the pets as directed by the owners, also feed and walk (of dog) twice a day or as directed for the owner
“Wendy was great with Nash! She followed all my instructions, communicated during the visit, and even sent me a photo! Her visit was very helpful and took the worry out of being gone for the day. I will definitely book Wendy again!”
“Stephanie is wonderful. She has taken care of my cats and tiny dog multiple times and they have all been happy and comfortable with her (even the super shy one). She also replaced my broken litter scoop and bought more paper towels and messaged me to get into my building when the stupid management agency changed the locks while I was on vacation. I love being able to trust my guys with her when I am away.”
“Once again a great experience with Samantha! She looked after my cats over the holidays and even left them some gifts!! I always feel so comforted knowing she's looking after them. Cannot recommend enough.”
“Brionna is AMAZING! I have a 2 year old cat that I recently adopted and was nervous as this was the first time I would ever be away from my kitty but Brionna’s calm and kind demeanor quickly put me at ease! She was so communicative leading up to the visit and throughout. Her daily photos and remarks let me know that Tortellini was safe, cared for and comfortable! Highly recommend and I’ll definitely be asking her to take care of Tortellini again :)”
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my commitment to personalized, attentive care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. I go beyond basic sitting by building strong relationships with the dogs, ensuring their comfort and security. My ability to offer customized care, whether it’s for special dietary requirements, medical needs, or behavioral support, shows a deep understanding of canine well-being. Regular updates, including pictures or videos, keep pet owners at ease, and your experience ensures that each dog receives the highest level of attention and safety. With a flexible work schedule, i’m in an excellent position to offer dog walks at times that work best for both you and the dog. I can take dogs on regular walks, whether it’s mornings, midday breaks, or evening strolls, ensuring they get the exercise they need without feeling rushed. My availability also allows you to offer extra-long walks or spontaneous outings, which can be great for dogs who need more exercise or variety. My flexibility allows you to be consistent and reliable, which is key in building trust with both dogs and their owners. By offering this level of personalized care, i can help ensure both the pet and the client feel comfortable and confident while i care for their furry loved one.

“I’ve known Vanessa for almost eight years and met her while volunteering for an animal rescue. Vanessa is incredibly kind and caring, and when we ran weekly adoption events together I always felt that she gave her all to the dogs and to the potential adopters who came to see the dogs. Not only is she wonderful with animals, but she’s also just an amazing person. She’s dedicated, reliable, and has the biggest heart. I would absolutely trust Vanessa to care for my dog, and I know that any pet in her care will be in great hands.”

Betty B.
“I have two cats, both of whom look forward to Betty taking care of them when I go out of town. I have known Betty for a long time and she has been taking care of my animals for about 4 years now. Betty takes the time to pay attention to each of them when they approach her. She knows what each of the cats likes in terms of food and attention and provides that they are accustomed to and that I have come to expect whenever I am away. Additionally, she keeps my apartment clean when she goes in, especially the litter box area, which with two cats can be kind of a crazy area. She’s the best!”
