“PJ is the BEST!!! He's super reliable, always on time, sends the best pictures, gives Chewbacca lots of love and attention and communicates just the right amount. No wonder Chewy loves him. Maybe a little too much?!? Makes me a little jealous actually. But what's better than knowing your dog loves seeing his "second best friend!" I know he's in great and caring hands with PJ!”

“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: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! I was raised with cats and two dobermans, and I began regularly pet sitting locally in my early teens. I’m comfortable with administering medicine, and I love getting to know pets and taking care of their needs! I am knowledgeable about training and am detail oriented to make sure your pet is comfortable and following their daily routine as closely as possible. I currently have two kitties at home and appreciate how important it is to find an attentive pet sitter for your beloved pets! Thank you in advance for trusting me with your sweet animal(s)! I’m currently working part time, and I am able to comfortably arrange my schedule to fit your pets’ needs! While I do not board, I am regularly available to stay overnight to house/pet sit!

About: I just have an intense love for all animals and think they are all angels. If I had more self-control, I'd be vegan. I am open to taking care of any animals but mainly have experience with dogs and cats. I'm still looking for full-time work so currently, I have an open schedule. I would prefer to work Mon-Fri. I am open to discussing weekend availability. I would prefer to take care of the pet in the client's home, because I have pets of my own. My pets are both pretty unique, so it would be more efficient to do it in a space that's familiar to the pet.
About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of pets—dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, reptiles, and more! From walking and feeding to bathing and overnight sitting, I’ve been the trusted go-to for family, friends, and neighbors. I truly believe animals bring a special kind of peace, and in return, I give them all the love, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands while you’re away, so you can relax knowing they’re well cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week, including weekends. I make sure each pet receives consistent care, playtime, exercise, and companionship while following their normal routine as closely as possible. I approach caring for pets with love, patience, and a deep understanding of their individual needs. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a comfortable and stress-free environment. I make sure to stick to their usual routines—feeding, walking, and playtime—so they feel secure and at ease. If I’m in your home, I ensure everything remains as you left it, with added attention to your pet’s safety and well-being. In my home, I provide a cozy, safe space where your pet will get plenty of affection and care. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re with family, wherever they are.
About: For the past 4 years I have worked with dogs in various capacities from walking, to bathing to training. My role as a doggie daycare handler provides me with constant exposure to dogs of all sizes, breeds and temperaments meaning no matter how big or small or excited or silly I can handle your pup. My background in training means I can provide your pup with structured care tailored to their needs. I’m currently working part-time, but have more than enough time or you and your pet. I have more free time on the weekdays, but may have time on select weekends or at night. I will dedicate my time to ensuring your pups needs are met whether that be feeding, walking or bathing. As I’ll be stepping into their home environment I’ll be sure to show your dog respect and patience as they get to know me.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. Friends, family, and peers trust me to take care of their pets while they’re away. I made sure that they returned home better than ever like they went on a vacation too! I have experience with high-energy pups to senior dogs and can adapt to their personality and pace. I enjoy caring for animals from walking, playing, administering medication, grooming, and providing a calm space. What find most important is being patient and attentive to what your pet specifically needs. My top priority is always keeping pets happy and healthy. I’m currently on a break from school and not working on anything else. My dog, cat, and turtle keep me company in the house. I enjoy daily walks, visiting the park, and sunset outings. Rain or shine I’m available to go on walks, have playtime, visit parks, or give cozy cuddles. I’d be happy to take dogs out to walk wherever they’re most comfortable. I can also assist with grooming, clean up, take in mail, water plants, or any other tasks. I’m currently not taking pets into my home but I am willing to travel.

“Yazmine was able to jump in at the last minute and provide some quick care to Loki when my schedule changed! So grateful. Despite not having met each other before, he warmed up to her and allowed her to put on his harness (a bit achievement for a first meeting!). She was communicative and thorough, very responsive to instructions. Thank you!!”


About: With over 10 years of pet sitting experience, our home has become a second home for countless furry friends. What started as a fun activity with my young son has grown into a true passion we continue to share. Now a spirited teenager, my son still brings the same energy and love to every pet we care for—ensuring each one gets plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. We live in a private apartment in a family-owned three-family house in Lower Westchester. Our home is clean, spacious, and pet-friendly, with a private deck and a small backyard perfect for fresh air and play. We’re also just a short walk from the beautifully updated Yonkers waterfront, where your pet will enjoy scenic strolls and outdoor fun. You won’t find a more dog-loving duo. Whether your pet is high-energy or prefers laid-back lounging, we’re happy to tailor our care to their unique needs and personality. We truly love what we do—and it shows. Feel free to reach out with any questions. We can’t wait to welcome your pet into our home! Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. Since we’ve been pet sitting for over a decade, we’ve built our schedule around giving pets the attention and care they deserve. Morning and evening walks are part of our daily rhythm, and we make time throughout the day for play, feeding, and cuddle sessions. My teenage son is very involved—he loves helping with walks, playtime, and making sure each pet feels right at home. Whether we have one guest or a few, they’re always integrated into our family life with love and consistency. In our home, pets are treated like family. We provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where they can relax and be themselves. They have access to cozy spaces indoors, a private deck for fresh air, and a small backyard for outdoor time. We stick closely to each pet’s routine—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or special care instructions—to ensure a smooth and stress-free stay. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines. I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure, keeping things as familiar as possible. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to their individual needs while maintaining communication with the owner for peace of mind.
“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: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve had both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have been caring for different breeds on my own since my teenage years. Friends and family regularly trust me with their pets, and I’m also a proud dog parent to Bob and cat parent to Nathan! I truly love animals and would be delighted to care for your furry family members while you’re away. I’m a real estate agent serving Westchester, NYC, and Long Island, which gives me a very flexible schedule. While most of my showings are on weekends, I work remotely during the week and can be fully present with your pets. I’m happy to provide overnight care as well, so your furry friends (and your home) are safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and routine come first. In your home, I follow your care instructions closely — feeding, walks, litter care, medications, and of course plenty of love and playtime. I aim to keep everything feeling normal and stress-free while you’re away. If pets stay with me, they receive constant supervision, a clean and cozy environment, and lots of enrichment and attention. I’m very attentive to each animal’s personality and needs. I also send regular photo and video updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing.

About: My experience with animals goes beyond just having pets of my own! I’ve raised my cat, Khloe, since she was a newborn, cared for my boyfriend’s senior dog Gizmo (RIP), and even helped care for a family member’s puppy (Romeo) who was sick with a UTI. That meant keeping up with more frequent walks and giving the puppy extra attention throughout the week. I’ve also managed to keep three carnival goldfish (Darwin, Sayuri, and Mohawk) happy and healthy for over two years! From young pets who need supervision to senior pets who may need a gentler hand, I’ve learned every animal has different needs, but deserve the same patience consistency and love. I’m also a photographer and artist, so I LOVE catching those goofy moments that fill every pet owners phone gallery. If your pet becomes my buddy, don’t be surprised if you get an entire complimentary photo shoot! I will also be happy to clean your fur baby afterwards (yuck nyc floors) and provide poop bags, toys, treats, etc if needed! I’m currently in college full time, with Mondays and Wednesday’s being my most unavailable days. Tuesday,Thursday,Friday, and weekends are my best days. I have classes Tues-Thurs from 10:45-12pm, and periodically have classes on Thursday from 3:05 to 5:45. This is my last semester, so I will be graduating soon. We can work together to find the best schedule 🐾 Whether it is in my home or yours, my priority is making sure the fur baby is safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the usual feeding, walking, playtime, and rest routines as closely as possible. In your home, I’ll respect your space, keep your pet areas cleaner than you left them, and make sure they have fresh food and water.
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.

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.

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.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
