“Christiane did a fantastic job watching our fearful 1 year old yorkie. He warmed up to her quickly and snuggled up with her the whole time we were gone. Will definitely work with her again!”
About: Hi there, I'm Brooke :) — a lifelong animal lover with over 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities (whether they're a couch potato, velcro pup or high energy)! I WFH and my partner whom I reside with is hybrid so we can definitely give your pup all the love, attention and care they deserve 🤍 I met many amazing owners and pups through Rover in LA and Seattle and now having recently moved to NYC, I am so so excited to keep doing what I love most — giving dogs the care, patience, and attention they deserve. I believe in building trust slowly, communicating clearly and often with you the owner, and making sure your dog feels calm, safe, and happy whether we’re walking around the block or snuggling in for a stay. :) Outside of Rover, I also run a small business called Sit. Stay. I Do., where I help couples include their dogs in their wedding day — so yep, I’ve wrangled pups in bowties and flower collars on their owners most important day of their lives and while on camera 😊 -- so rest assured your pup is in great hands! Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! I am 100% work from home with a flexible schedule so I am there whenever your pup needs me (or I need them LOL). I will be out and about to errands occasionally or doing a Rover drop-in or walk but never too far from home or gone for too long :) I am very respectful of not only my clients pets but also of their home. I treat both the clients pet and home as if they were my own -- with nothing but the utmost respect, care and love. My home is their home 🤍
“Chris is fantastic and was able to drop in to help with our kitties with their food, water, litterbox, and give them snuggles. We'll definitely be having him help us again!”
“This was our 8th time using Kayla, and there will definitely be a 9th. As always, she was great with the cats and we hope to not have to use a different sitter ever again!”
“I always feel at peace and at ease knowing Adam will be taking care of animals. He’s efficient, genuine and timely. I feel fortunate to have found his support on this platform.”
“Definitely recommend Nicole! Was a fantastic sitter for my pup Cooper - super communicative and very responsive to all of Cooper’s needs! We can’t wait to see her again!”
“Victoria took phenomenal care of my cat while I was away for a week! She is super responsive, provides very detailed updates, and leaves your place very clean. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”
“Kyle was amazing! It was his first time watching our cat. Prior to watching my cat, we had a FaceTime so we both could get to know each other better and discuss my cats needs. He left extremely thorough notes regarding my instructions so I knew my cat was beyond well taken care of. He was extremely reliable, on time, amazing at communicating. He was so great that I booked him 3 more times already!”
“Couldn't recommend Ellana enough! She was extremely thorough and communicative before and during her visits and wonderful with our cat India while we were away over the holidays. It really put our mind at ease and we will absolutely be using her again.”
About: I’m a responsible 26 year-old living in NYC who recently lost my beloved family dog of 17 years. This experience has deepened my appreciation for the companionship and joy that dogs bring into our lives. I’m looking to share that love and care by offering my dog sitting and dog walking services. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your furry family members. I promise a safe, nurturing environment where your dog will feel loved and comfortable. Whether it’s playful walks on the West Side Highway, cozy cuddles, or playtime, I’m dedicated to ensuring your pet has a wonderful experience while you’re away. Let’s connect to discuss how I can help you and your four-legged friend! On Saturday and Sunday, I am available for boarding, day care, drop-in visits, and walking. I can do boarding and day care on Thursday night - Sunday. For boarding and day care: Our building is very dog-friendly and our apartment is over 1000 square feet (lots of room to play)! We live off broad street in Fidi, so no cars go down the streets and there are plenty outdoor places for your dog. Ultimately, I will follow your instructions on what routine to follow to best care for your pup!
“Ava was exceptional with Reggie! It was my first time leaving him with someone and she put my stress at ease with daily photos and updates. He was in great hands and I came home to one happy cat!! Thank you Ava!!”
“Carly is a great walker/sitter! She took care of Linus and he was super happy. She took pics of him on his walk and she touched base with us during her visit with him. Would reach out to her again. Recommended. Thank u!”
“This was our second time using Steven and he was just amazing yet again. He took such great care of our cats. Steven is always so quick and easy to message with, sends the best photos and takes such good care of your pets. He goes above and beyond. Cannot recommend him enough. Will always use Steven.”
“Edda was fantastic and so great with Snuffy. My other cat sadly passed away four days before my trip. She offered to stay with Snuffy longer to make sure he was okay while I was gone. It made me comfortable knowing my cat was being cared for by someone so compassionate. Highly recommend hiring Edda!”
“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 😊”
“Kevin did a great job bonding with our pup while we were away! Easy to communicate with and attentive to all the instructions we left.”
“Great service! Very communicative and took excellent care of the cats.”
“Vicky was incredible in every way possible, it is not often that you can find someone who will take care of your pets as your own, but Vicky went above and beyond. This was the first time I felt the anxiety of leaving my pets alone be lifted by knowing she was taking care of them every day. She left detailed notes every visit and so many photos! I can’t recommend her enough!”

2. Brooke B.
“Brooke watched my dog (a boxer) on multiple occasions, who is sometimes difficult to handle since is he quite aggressive when meeting strangers and to my shock the moment I dropped him off they got along perfectly. She knew exactly how to handle him and gave him his space before approaching him . Two days later I could not believe my eyes when I picked him up since he was pulling me back so he could stay with her longer. Definitely recommend her and will be getting my dog back for a play date.”
