“Logan was a great pet sitter. I’d recommend him to anyone in the area and I’ll definitely reach out again should we need pet sitting services in the future. He was very communicative and kept us informed about all the antics our dog and cat were up to.”
About: Hello, I have 10 years of experience, I recently was a manager at a boarding facility, I’m comfortable with all breed types 😊 I also am very comfortable with giving medications of all kinds if needed. I have 2 furry babies myself and can’t wait to make more furry friends🐾🩵 I have a pretty open schedule, very flexible to work with what you need to give the best pet care 😄, also available on all holidays I have a huge front and back yard & 2 furry friends to keep your dog company! 😊 I also have a fenced area for some off leash time!
About: I am great with animals, I'm also a big fan of animals in general. Many weekends you can find me at the zoo, and I know an unnecessary amount of animal fun facts. I grew up with a cat, dog, and my own tropical fish aquarium. I have plenty experience walking dogs, both my own, and dogs belonging to members of the community in NYC. I have a pampered pet cat, and know that they shouldn't be treated the same as dogs. Cats: - Experience with many cats - Cat sit for friends and family - Happy to clean litter boxes - Will bring cat toys - Understand that cats have complex emotions Dogs: - Used to tri-daily walking schedule - Happy to pick up poop - Listed as a trusted dog walker for BAIP - Know that dogs take time to trust people Other: - Won't overfeed fish - Just tell me how to care for your pet, and I'm on it As of right now, my schedule is completely open, and I am more than happy to work around whatever schedule works best for you. Just let me know! Each animal is unique to each household, and my philosophy when it comes to animal care, is trusting that the owners know best. In other words, I follow exactly what the owners tell me to do. If you tell me that your Great Dane will only go potty if I spin around in circles 3 times, then it looks like I'm spinning. When it comes to animals trusting me, I understand that trust isn't inherent. Generally it come from the correct tone, getting on their level, and as many pats and treats as necessary.
“Paula was a fantastic dog sitter for our three dogs. She came on time and kept them great company. She texted us throughout the day to give us photos and updates and to ask questions. What I most appreciate about Paula is the sense of safety and reliability she brings to the job: since she made sure to keep us updated about the dogs throughout the day, I never had to worry or wonder what was happening at the house. Upon returning home, we found our dogs happy and healthy. I would book Paula again in a heartbeat!”
About: I’ve taken care of lots of pets over the years. I enjoy being around animals and showing them love because they do the same for us! I have a genuine love for taking care of things if I can help it and I’m going to school to even become a nurse. I also started a house plant hobby. Taking care of things is just in my blood. I’m available more in the evenings . My schedule is flexible but inconsistent because I’m part time at my jobs but we can discuss availability if you book me to take care of your pet(s)! I have a fenced in back yard and just one cat. I’m able to keep them separated if needed. I also have my own home and it’s a smoke free one! I’m very clean and clean my home daily. I let my cat on the couches so yours will be allowed the same if they are not dirty of course.
About: Animals and nature have been my greatest passion for as long as I can remember. I’ve been exposed to, and well acquainted to a variety of animals, including fish, rodents, reptiles, dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and even a baby squirrel rescue! I am also a volunteer dog walker at my local shelter, which is my therapy and brings me great happiness. I have two dogs of my own that I’ve raised since they were eight weeks old. They are my entire world. I am knowledgeable in basic dog training and obedience, and very observant and understanding of animal behavior. Nothing brings me more joy and happiness in life than being surrounded by the love and purity of animals. I currently have open availability. I have a very flexible and adaptable schedule and I am open to what works best for you and your pets needs. I am with my dogs all day everyday. They get all of my love and attention. I constantly monitor for potential hazards and act accordingly in order to limit any risks. Cleanliness and order is my main priority as I value a clean and tidy home. I have fresh water out all day and I feed them twice a day. My dogs get a specialized high end kibble which I supplement with fresh meat, organ, eggs, fruits, veggies, goats milk, coconut oil, bone broth, salmon oil, turmeric and a daily vitamin. I wash my dogs as needed or every two weeks. I brush their teeth, fur, and clip their nails weekly as well. I only have high quality chew bones and other toys available that don’t pose a risk as my dogs are heavy chewers.
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. Many different kinds, including dogs, cats, ferrets, rats, etc. I will treat your pet with love and kindness. I have a job where I make my own schedule. If you decide to board your pet with me, I will be on premises at all times. For boarding, I have a decent size fenced in back yard. I do have a 7 year old husky that has gone to daycare. He's been around a lot of different dogs. If your dog needs to be crated, I can do that as well. I am available to come feed your animal in your home. I can let them out and walk them if needed.
“Destiny has been just fantastic. I needed a house sitter to watch over my 10 week old puppy as I could not travel with her. After a meet & greet that went extremely well, Destiny agreed to house sit for the three consecutive days. I could not be happier. Destiny took fantastic care of my puppy, taking her outside for potty breaks as needed, day or night. The regular updates with photos, videos and messages were reassuring and calming for me. Destiny also was so respectful of the house and left it as nice as when she first got here. I could not have been happier with a house sitter for my puppy. Thank you! I know my puppy misses her!”
About: Hi! I'm Colleen and I love animals! I currently have a 1 year old puppy named Sammy, who we adopted from the Humane Society when he was a few weeks old. We just lost our 17 and 16 year old dogs Tommy and Marta and we miss them terribly. I've owned a doberman names Zeus, a jack russel/pug Tommy Lee, a chihuahua/dauschund named Marta, and Sammy who is a chihuahua/pug/boston terrier/dauschund. I'd love to stop in an check on/or let out your pets, or stop by for walks:) I have wide open availability, day and night! I am a stay at home mom with two kids in school. Looking to make some extra money. I am a stay at home mom so your animals would not be alone at all! I love all animals! Happy to help and love on yours while you're away!
“Robert was an outstanding sitter. Our dog seemed to love him. He spent lots of time with her, walked her, and sent us many photos. He also took good care of our home — despite a complete power outage in our neighborhood for 24 of the 48 hours he was at our home. When the ice in the freezer melted and leaked from the freezer, he took the initiative to clean it up and make sure it didn’t become a bigger problem damaging the wood floors.”
About: I’ve taken care of several dogs over the years. One of the dogs was an older dog who needed me to stay at the house for two weeks and give up to 6 medications a day, so I have experience with elderly dogs. I have also watched 3 week old kittens for an entire week and had bottle feed them every 4-6 hours, so I have experience with young animals like that as well. In addition I have taken care of dogs who are very territorial, and am able to read their body language well to ensure a safe visit for me and the dog too. I’m currently working full time at UHS. Although while I’m at work your pet will be home, I have most weekends off and visit the pets right before and immediately after work. I make sure when I’m in a client’s home I’m not only kind to the animals, but to the house as well. I absolutely love all animals so I give them as much attention as I can because that’s what I would want for my pets. And I update the owner as many times as they ask me to so that they can feel at ease being away from their pet.
“First time using rover and messaged with a couple people before booking Charity. Wasn’t sure I’d like using this for my pup after speaking with other sitters but Charity was fantastic! Pretty sure my pup was disappointed when I walked in the door after my trip instead of her. Very responsive, accommodating, and professional. Won’t use anyone else but her. She could easily be charging double what she is and it would be worth it.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, i currently have one! They’re my pride and joy honestly! I’ll make your fur baby is walked, fed, has water, and all the attention they need! I’m currently unemployed but am in school online to be a vet tech, so pet care fits into my schedule pretty perfectly! I am willing to help whenever! I can care for your pet in your home by taking them for walks (dog) or letting them run around the yard with your permission if it’s fenced in or if you let them roam, feeding them their correct food, cleaning the litter box (cat), making sure they always have water
About: I was raised on an animal farm so my family has had almost every animal you can think of! I love animals so much & I would love to help take care of your furry friend while they are waiting for your return :) I will try my best to work with your schedule! Right now, my job is flexible, so figured this would be another great flexible part time job have :) I don't mind coming to your house if it’s easier! OR they are free to roam my clean house! Each week is relaxing but I can honestly say that having so much free time can be boring so this would be a lovely addition to my weekly routine. I let your dog snuggle with me and watch movies if they like! If they aren’t a snuggle bunny then they can roam my house and choose a cozy section their prefer!

Samuel S.Star Sitter
“I am happy to provide a testimonial for Sam for his love of animals and his responsible care of cats, dogs, fish, and a snake. Sam was a daily walker for Tinkerbell, a lab mix in New York city, and was incredibly responsible in making sure that "Bell" got her exercise and love - but was also kept safe from various distractions and dangers in the city. Sam also took care of my cats, and he showed the same amount of affection and deep connection to those fur babies as well. He is a responsible college student with his own transportation.”
