“Jacob is great!!! My female usually doesn’t like men and she liked him right away. Jacob’s always on time, he’s very caring of the pups and I’m very happy i found him. I’ve used him several times and will continue to do so in the future. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.”


“Thank you Caroline for being available last minute! She was able to handle my crazy, energetic pitbull with ease and also took great photos! Would highly recommend her.”


“We had such a great experience with Erin! She took such wonderful care of our dog, who can be difficult on a leash, while we were away for the weekend. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. She was communicative, responsible, and our dog clearly loved all the walks and attention! We would absolutely recommend Erin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. Can’t wait to book again!”


“I can't say enough great things about Jorge! He treated my two dogs as if they were his own. That was not easy with one very senior dog and a one year old. No hesitation highly recommending himm.”


About: During the 20 years of experience I have gained as a pet sitter, I have become someone who goes above and beyond what an average sitter will do. I adhere to specific guidelines set by the owner so that their pet receives the exact type of care they are requesting. I have experience with senior animals as well. I have administered prescription medications as needed and I am very timely. To choose me is to choose the "best of the best" in what you'll be looking for in a animal care provider! I am a dedicated pet sitter. I have open availability and I am very accommodating. Being able to provide these types of services for pet owners has become a passion of mine since my youth. I will be able to commit to my bookings and provide top tier animal care services to all who choose to request me. The animals I have cared for are always within my view. I follow the pet owners specific instructions for care so that they have peace of mind knowing their pet is cared for. I do my best to ensure that the pets have minimal disruption to their daily routine.

About: I grew up with both Cats and Dogs and have experience as a pet owner as I have 2 cats of my own. I also have a lot of experience as a sitter/boarder and professional dog walking! I’m comfortable administering medicine and dealing with aging pets needs. I have some experience with puppies and kittens as well. I have equal experience with cats and dogs and love them both! House Sitting, Dog Walking, and Drop-Ins: I have experience with house sitting and drop-ins so no need to worry. I am very trustworthy and dependable! I’m good at following directions. I’ve seen it all :) I know a lot of beautiful walking routes in the area. I took a break from rover for a while, but I’ve continued to pet sit and dog walk the entire time just not on here. I can provide more references if needed. I have two cats that are comfortable around dogs for boarding. Let me know if you have any questions. I’m a student so I have plenty of time during the summer months. Sitting and drop ins work fine with my own cats schedules as I have roommates they love to hangout with while I’m gone. I drop by to feed them dinner and they snack on dry food in the mornings. My schedule is flexible and open! I listen to owners as they know their pet best. Willing to follow even the most hyper specific directions to ensure everyone is comfortable and safe.

“We recently moved to New Rochelle and needed to find someone reliable to take care of our babies from time to time. Kameryn was amazing, she did a meet and greet with the boys and they absolutely loved her. She’s very responsible, pays attention to detail, and follows directions to a T! I am beyond excited to finally have the dog walker of my dreams!”


“So good with our pup! Great communication throughout the whole time she is with our dog. He is an energetic boy and she handles him perfectly(:”


“Stephanie has been great! We needed a new walker on short notice and she was willing to start immediately. She’s very reliable and good with our dog!”


“Krstine is AMAZING. This was our first time hiring a dog walker/sitter outside of the family and I could not have chosen a better person than Kristine. She is so caring and attentive and you can tell is a true animal lover. She made sure to know everything there was to know about my dog, made sure the temperature in our home was cool enough for her, made sure her water bowl was full and she had her pre-approved treats, and sent me updates and pictures. Every picture my baby had the biggest smile on her face and I am so happy to have found someone that I quickly came to trust so completely with her. Thank you Kristine!”


About: Growing up I was known as my neighborhoods pet whisperer, having raised rats, Guinea pigs, cats, dogs, and even reptiles! I have fostered numerous pets, of all kinds, and believe in treating animals with the utmost respect and love! I have a little over two years of experience training dogs of all sizes and ages, and have over 10 years of experience caring for fur babies! Active dogs tend to love me, as I’m an athlete and don’t tire quick, and will spend however much time and energy I need to make sure your pet is fulfilled. I work part-time, two minutes away from my home, and spend a lot of my free-time making sure whatever animal is in my care is as happy and safe as can be. I am currently fostering mice, and have a cat and two dogs at home. My animals are the first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing I think about when I go to bed at night. I will adapt to my clients home, staying overnight if needed, and will treat their pet as if they are my own. I will take whatever steps I need to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable. I am experienced in crate training and potty training.

About: As a mom myself (both a dog-mom and human-mom!), I know how hard it is to leave your little fur baby behind to enjoy a fun vacation or business trip but I can assure you that with lots of photos and text updates that your little pup or kitty will be so happy in our animal-loving home! We are a vegan household so needless to say, we do not discriminate against any little or big creature (well, maybe just spiders!). Your pup will have the best care, all the couch snuggles, nice walks on grassy Pehlam Parkway dirt paths, fetch games and timely food/drink care! My 6 year old will endlessly read to him/her and my 3 year old will give them all the scratches! They are VERY good with all dogs big or small and understand the limits, they will never be left unattended with your pup! We lost our Golden Retriever and Coonhound this year and just looking to fill the small void in our home <3! So go on your trip and let us go on some fun exploring walks! Please message me with any questions! I currently work from home full time and am very active and willing to walk dog at any time in any weather... and weekends consist of some sort of activity with our children that would require us to be out of the house for 2-4 hours, no more. We have a 2 bedroom apartment with a very large living room and very large windows that dogs love to look out of! You are welcome to bring your dog bed, we have plenty of space, and a nice dark hallway if they want some peace and quiet :)

About: For many years I’ve looked after my family’s pets, I’ve had 3 dogs and 3 cats whom lived long and pampered lives. Neighborhood pet sitting and extended family’s trips, I was always there to look after their fur babies. I’m a full time college student with a flexible schedule looking to take care of any and all of your pets needs. Whether you want a sitter for a day or a few weeks, I can accommodate. Weekends or weekdays I can make myself available within a reasonable time slot for the occasion. Whether pets need to be crated before bed or their meals need special attention I’ll make it happen. Any specifications my client deems necessary for their furry friends is on my agenda.

About: I've been a pet caregiver since birth, and will be your pet's second best friend (you're obviously the first). If you're looking for an experienced sitter, look no further. I grew up with dogs, and learned how to walk my first dog before I could walk myself. I grew up caring for animals of all kinds, sizes, and needs. My house has always been a refuge of sorts for abandoned animals. As a result, we ended up with 12-14 cats at various life stages, a sheep, chickens, turtles, a tortoise, hamsters and mice, lots of fish, and a few dogs from puppyhood to their golden years. I will treat your pet like my own! If your pet has medical needs, I've got them covered! I've gotten finicky pups and cats to take their pills, and am experienced with injection doses of medication, too. I administered diabetes shots to my childhood best friend - an English Springer Spaniel named Pokey, 3 times a day during her senior years. I've cared for dogs and cats with cancer and kept pets comfortable in their old age. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask. I look forward to caring for your pets! I am a freelance writer and artist so my schedule is relatively flexible! Please check my availability as it will be the most accurate indicator of whether our schedules align or not. I am not currently taking Boarding or House Sitting clients for overnight stays but I am happy to walk and/or drop in on your pets! Please message me for any additional information.

About: Hi, I'm Gabby! I’m a proud pet parent to a corgi, a cat, and a tortoise! I treat my pets like my kids and am ALWAYS looking to give more love to other fur babies! I’ve cared for friends’ cats and done check-ins for their dogs. I’m experienced with pets of all ages—from playful puppies to senior dogs who prefer to nap all day. I have also administered medications to my own pets for years, so I’m confident in handling oral medications for others as well. Animals are my happy place, and I’d love to give your babies the love and care they deserve! I am currently off from my current job for about a month and a half and am looking to earn some extra cash in the meantime! My current lifestyle allows for a lot of flexibility during the work week, so I am open to doggy/cat care all times of the day. My weekends are not as open, however, with some future planning, I could make myself available! I do not plan to have a doggy day-care in my own home, however, in a clients home I guarantee that I will stick to their fur babies daily schedule as well as any specific instructions I am given about their care! If I have any questions regarding their care, know that I will reach out to ensure I am sticking to your pets correct right routine!

About: Hello, I've had a variety of four leggers (doggos and cats) during my time as a two legger on this Earth. All of them have been cared for from tiny handful through elder years. We're currently down to one doggo right now, and this affords me some opportunity to hulp (as the doggos like to say) with your four legger. Open to walking, sitting, and short home stays. Will to provide more serious walks that include running/jogging for compatible working and herding doggos. We like to say in our house that an exhausted dog is a good dog. I'm an experienced user of Rover also, so I know what is expected for caring for your four legger. I look forward to the opportunity to bring them some happiness. I currently work from home and have a great deal of flexibility during weekdays. I do travel for work on occasion and keep my availability updated. I am available for last minute and emergency care if local. When caring for pets in my own or client's home, I prioritize their well-being and comfort above all else. I ensure a safe and happy environment by providing regular exercise, healthy feeding habits, and plenty of love and attention.

I have had pets of all kinds over the years from hamsters, to turtles, to dogs! I have also watched the pets of my close friends and neighbors in the last couple of years.

About: I have owned and walked dogs for decades. As a retired senior, my friend DAX, a wonderful German Shepard, recently passed. Now, unable to replace DAX, I'm left with the lingering desire to dog walk a precious pet once again. Your pet will receive lots'a love and care during a lovely stroll. I can,t wait to meet and walk your fur baby! I'm currently retired, so I am available to walk your pet at your convenience Monday through Saturday, at an agreed upon time that fits your busy schedule. Currently, I only offer dog walking services. As much as I enjoy spending time with precious pets, unfortunately, at this time, I do not offer boarding services.

Omar L.Star Sitter
“Omar has been a life saver for when we’ve gone on vacation! We have all older pets (1 dog & 3 cats) with one cat needing medication twice a day and our dog who needs to have the house prepped before leaving him alone or else he will mess things up, so for us it’s not so simple to watch our pets and Omar has always been a perfect and understanding caretaker! To have someone who loves our animals and that we trust to take care of them while we’re away is such a weight lifted off of us. We’ve been friends for decades and I would recommend Omar to anyone who is in need of a stay in pet sitter!”


Alessandra L.
“Alessandra had cared for my dog three days a week. She was the only person my dog would take to.

I have no doubt that Zoe will put in all her commitment for any animal in her care. I cannot recommend her enough.”


Maja T.

Arianna N.
“Ari has been my go-to pet and house sitter for several years now! In addition to being super sweet with my fur babes (2 doggos and 3 kittehs), she’s always dependable, responsive, and conscientious.

Sara Z.
“Sara was our cat sitter when when our entire family had to go out of town for eight days. Luna was a kitten at the time still. She was extremely rambunctious and into absolutely everything.

Steph, did amazing job with our lab Bailey. Definitely recommend her and look forward to future walks. 🐶❤️

Lina was absolutely incredible!! We have a pup who is nervous around new people (barking, growling, etc.) and we were so stressed about finding a walker. After having a bad experience with another walker, we found Lina and couldn’t be happier. She was so kind, knowledgeable, friendly, and took the time to make our dog comfortable. She even continued some of the training we had been working on. She will definitely be our first call if we need a walker again and we cannot recommend her enough!!

Santos provided several walks, was communicative, punctual, and professional. Frida can be difficult when being picked up, but no issues here! Highly reccomend.

She was able to walk our dog a few days a week pretty last minute. She did a wonderful job and we really appreciate her.

Rosa was able to come by on a couple of days notice. She was on time to walk our pups and did a great job communicating with me! Would definitely work with her again.

Jennifer is the absolute best! My special needs dog loves her. She kind,pleasent, dependable and flexible.

Joceylin was fantastic!! She took such good care of Riggby when I was away. She gave lots of updates and was very caring, thoughtful, and attentive. She asked lots of questions if she was unsure of something and really showed her love for my pup. Highly, highly recommend!

Alyssa was a hit with us but, more importantly, with our dog Ella from the moment she first came to our house. She has a warm, upbeat vibe, fully of energy and happiness. My dog reacted in kind. Alyssa is very cooperative and wants to help out when/ however she can. She is reliable and trustworthy. We HIGHLY recommend her.

Kari was fantastic - asked great questions about Oscar’s personality and showed she is attentive, caring and has experience handling dogs.

I couldn't be happier with the dog-walking service provided by Shaun! He took excellent care of Belle ensuring they got plenty of exercise and attention. Shaun was punctual, friendly, and clearly loves dogs. My pup came back happy and well-exercised after each walk. I highly recommend Shaun to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!
