About: I have grown up having small/large dogs, cats, and fish all my life. I adore all animals and it’s a strong passion of mine. I grew up in the Midwest and miss my fur babies at home that I grew up with everyday. I also have experience with pet sitting a turtle. I am work from home on Fridays (off at 1pm) and open most weekends + evenings during the week. I would love to give pets some extra love & attention when their owners are away. I’ll ensure they feel special & loved. I am trustworthy, respectful and patient. I will always treat your pet and home with the best care & extra love. They will be in the best hands with me.
“This was my first time using Rover, and I was definitely a little nervous about leaving my dog MooMoo for an entire week, but Lily completely put my mind at ease. MooMoo is a big dog which requires a bit more attention but, Lily handled everything so effortlessly. From the start, she was warm, professional, and incredibly welcoming. She took such great care of MooMoo and made the whole experience stress-free and seamless. I’ll be recommending Lily to everyone I know, and she’ll be my go-to sitter anytime I go out of town. Thank you, Lily, for being the BEST! ❤️🐶❤️”
“I can tell from the photos my dog loved her! Sarah’s in-depth description of how her visit went with my dog is exactly what I needed to put my mind at peace and I will for sure be using her regularly 😊”
About: I’ve been caring for both dogs and cats for years — from daily walks and overnight stays to drop-ins and long weekends. I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, kittens, seniors, rescues, and pets with medical needs. I work a traditional 9–5, Monday through Friday, but I offer plenty of flexibility around that for pet care! • ✅ Available for overnight house sitting (I’ll stay overnight and provide care before/after work, and full-time on weekends) • ✅ Available for drop-in visits or walks in the early mornings (before 9 AM) and evenings (after 5:30 PM) • ✅ Full availability on weekends and holidays • 📸 I send consistent updates, photos, and check-ins so you can relax while you’re away! If your pet is okay being alone during the standard workday, I’m a great fit — and I always tailor my care to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Let me know your routine and I’ll do my best to accommodate it! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions carefully, stick to established routines, and give every animal the time, attention, and care they deserve. I make sure: • Food, meds, and walks happen on schedule • Doors, gates, and crates are securely closed • Pets are never left unsupervised in unsafe conditions • Walks are on-leash at all times unless otherwise agreed upon • I leave your home clean, locked, and exactly as you left it
“Niki was amazing!! Kept me updated and made sure to send lots of pictures. She made me feel so comfortable leaving, my cat clearly loved her, and I will 100% rebook:)”
About: I am a therapist and actor in the New York City area and I enjoy walking dogs in my free time. I find that the skills I have cultivated in my other work, such as listening, reading body language, and setting clear boundaries, have come in handy when caring for and growing relationships with the dogs. I am currently working part-time and will have plenty of time to take your pup for a walk in the afternoons. Generally speaking, I am free after 4 pm on Tuesdays through Fridays. Additionally, I have flexibility on Mondays. I always want to respect the rules and boundaries that you, as the owner, have laid out for your pet. My role is to support you in maintaining a happy and healthy environment for your pup while also building trust so that you don't have to worry about your little buddy when you're away.

He’ll give great details and updates with good photos and is just super responsible. My two little dogs had a wonderful time with him, and I never worried about them when they were in his care.

Anastasia has been so helpful with my anxious dog Ramona. She sent me lots of cute pictures & updates for her walk!
she was so so sweet with my puppy oslo (and def had knowledge/experience with puppies)! 10/10 recommend!
Ashley was amazing. It's was the first time I had left my puppy alone for the day and she went above and beyond to make me feel like he was well taken care of. She sent photos and asked and answered questions promptly. I needed a break and she was the perfect person to give me a real break.
Jake saved us for a last minute sitting of our sweet girl. He was very responsive and did a great job. Will use again.
Melissa was great. She paid so much attention to Charlie. I could see that she loves what she is doing. she sent me photos which was much appreciated. The biggest compliment I can offer is the fact that Charlie likes her. I will definitely be requesting her in the future.
Samantha was absolutely amazing! We booked last minute and she went the extra mile the whole week. She took great care of our cat and dog, was super communicative, and even cleaned up a couple of accidents without a second thought. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Truly the best sitter we’ve ever had. Highly recommend!

Lauren is just the best. I trust her whole heartedly with my puppy! It feels like my best friend is taking care of him when she’s with him. Couldn’t recommend her more!
Melissa always goes the extra mile for Zeus. She will stay late to give him an extra walk and snuggle him up to make him feel safe. She is the best dog sitter and walker I know.

Teddy had another great weekend with John!! He really appreciate him coming to walk and play with Ted!
