“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: Hi pet parents! I’m Midory. As a proud mom of two and a dedicated pet owner, my days are full of activity, structure, and a whole lot of love for animals. I specialize in walking and caring for dogs who thrive in lively environments and absolutely adore being around children.Because we are a busy, pet-loving household, your dog will get plenty of attention, built-in socialization, and a consistent routine. I know how important it is to keep pets safe and active while you are away, so I tailor our walks to your dog’s specific energy level.Our home is a warm, family-friendly space where your pup will be treated just like one of our own. I provide regular photo updates and transparent communication so you always have total peace of mind. I can't wait to meet your kid-friendly pup for some fun and exercise! Mornings between 8-11am as long as dogs are kid friendly.On weekends any time and I can also do anytime after 4pm on weekdays if needed. I treat your home with the utmost respect and keep your dog's safety as my top priority. During walks, I strictly follow your preferred routes, use secure leashes, and practice positive reinforcement. For drop-in visits, I stick closely to your established routine: feeding on time, refreshing water, administering any needed medications, and providing plenty of play and affection. Before leaving, I always double-check that your home is secure, the pup is settled, and I send you a detailed update with photos.
“Justin really helped us out when he walked our (sometimes stubborn and very strong) dog 2x a day for two weeks when we couldn’t walk him. He was communicative and good to work with! We would book with him again. Thank you Justin!”

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, especially when it comes to dogs! I’ve had dogs throughout my life, including my soul dog, Hazel, who will always have a special place in my heart. Having been a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust to care for your pets. I have experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy being around animals. I’m also a proud turtle mom to River! Having different pets has taught me that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. A little fun fact about me! The sweet senior dog in my profile photo is actually a Sato rescue from Puerto Rico. I had the opportunity to be a Flight Angel and help transport her from Puerto Rico to NYC so she could start her new life! It was such a special experience, and I’m so happy I got to be a small part of her journey. Something else about me is that I’d love to foster animals someday! I’ve always had a soft spot for rescue animals, and I hope to be able to help more of them find their forever homes in the future. I’m a responsible, trustworthy, and caring person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know our pets are family, and I would treat yours with the same love and care I’d want for my own! I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away! Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and would love to make a regular part of my routine!

I love spending time with animals, so getting to incorporate that into my week is something I really look forward to. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and that’s something I take seriously! I always do my best to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, so I make sure to follow any instructions you leave, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or just their favorite way to play! I’m also very respectful of people’s homes and will always make sure everything is left just as I found it. I’m happy to send pictures and updates during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is doing well and getting plenty of love and attention!

“Brandon was great! He came over and walked our rocky in the pouring rain. Beyond professional and friendly. Very easy to communicate with. Rocky had a great walk with him despite the rain.”
“I’ve had an amazing experience with Darianny and couldn’t recommend her more. She’s always on time, communicates clearly, and sends frequent updates, which gives me complete peace of mind while I’m away. Her background as a vet tech made it an easy decision to trust her with Parsley, but what really sets her apart is who she is as a person. The compassion, attention to detail, and genuine love and care she shows Parsley go far beyond her professional experience. It’s obvious she truly cares about the animals she looks after. I always know Parsley is safe, happy, and in great hands with Darianny, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. She’s become someone I completely trust to care for him whenever I’m away!”
About: I am a highly skilled pet caregiver based in the Bronx with extensive experience in managing the care of dogs and cats in the city and the boroughs. I have successfully handled anxious and high-energy pets, as well as animals with complex dietary needs and challenging leash behaviors. I am more than capable of caring for pets with detailed care instructions. When entrusted with your pet, you can expect frequent and detailed photo and text updates to keep you informed on how your fur baby is doing. I guarantee to keep your pet entertained and engaged in your absence, ensuring a worry-free experience for you. Your pet will receive the same level of care and attention as if they were my own! I work part-time in the entertainment industry, so I have a very flexible schedule. I update my Rover calendar weekly. For the time being, I can only accept bookings accessible by NYC public transportation, including Metro-North and NJ Transit. I have been vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19. I am happy to wear a mask when interacting with humans in your home if requested - I may also mask for my safety. For dogs' safety, I do not take dogs to dog parks, take them off-leash, or simultaneously walk dogs from different households unless I am extremely familiar with the dogs' behavior and the activity is approved by the owners.
“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.”
About: I worked in a Doggy Daycare/Sitting Business called Bark & Purr, so I already have experience taking care and training many different dogs and cats. I am currently doing a side hustle job in landscaping! But the hours are very flexible, so I am free nonstop, especially during the afternoon - evenings. I have two huge parks and a fenced dog park to bring your fur baby to! The apartment is very spacious and dog friendly so you don't have to worry about your dog feeling stressed and claustrophobic.
About: I’ve always loved animals as a child and young adult. I also grew up taking care of my family pet (a female Silky Terrier) who lived 14 beautiful years before her passing in 2018. Thanks to the pandemic, I've been able to hone in and build a loyal clientele where I offer pet sitting, walking and boarding experiences for both dogs and cats. I can help elevate any pet stress you may be experiencing. Located in the Bronx, but willing to travel. I require a 4 hour minimum notice ahead of requested service. I only book pets one at a time (or double if your pet has a sibling). This is for safety and undivided attention. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment where your pet can roam free with my discretion. Willing to also crate and adjust according to comfort. Let’s discuss!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Vernon
She was absolutely amazing with Oreo and went above and beyond! She spent extra time with him, made sure he had fresh water, played with him, gave him his licking mat, and kept me updated the entire time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was getting so much attention and love while I was away. I truly appreciate everything she did and will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️🐶
I highly recommend Christopher! Blue has anxiety, so finding someone patient and understanding was so important. Chris took the time to earn his trust, never rushed him, and always made sure he felt safe and comfortable. Knowing Blue is in such caring hands gives me complete peace of mind. I love receiving the updates and photos, and seeing how excited Blue is for his walks says it all. Thank you for treating Blue like family—I truly appreciate the love, patience, and care you give him!
Arianna has been nothing short of a godsend! She not only walks Titan, who is 135 pound Cane Corso puppy, but she has also trained him. She is so professional, loving, organized, and knowledgeable that I wish I had found her sooner. When I got home after their first day together, it was like I had a brand new dog. He listened so attentively to his commands. He was so much better at loose leash walking, and he seemed to be over his Dog reactivity issues and I credit Arianna to this fully. I saw on my ring camera, how loving and patient she was with him each time. She took him out and brought him back, and I could tell by the way that he looked at her that he loved her and respected her immediately. I think everybody should have a walker as great knowledgeable, professional, and loving as Arianna. It was very hot that day, and she was also attentive to making sure his water dish was filled after each walk and she made sure he drank water before he went on his walks, and in addition, she also brought water and a dish on their walks because she was concerned about him.
