About: Fun fact: my profile picture is of me and Panda 🐼, the first fur baby I ever took care of for a family friend when I was 12! I am someone who has always grown up around animals including dogs, cats, turtles, and birds. I’ve always had a desire to take care of them, so much that at one point I wanted to go to veterinary school. Although I decided to switch to nursing, being able to take care of the adoring pets of others is something that I’d love to keep as my hobby. I’ll make sure to love your pet the same way I loved the ones I grew up with. All in all, I get to distress from school, and they can get all the cuddles and play in the world. It’s a win win! I’ll also make sure to keep you updated with pictures and videos so you can rest assured that they’ll be in good hands :) I am currently a full-time nursing student, with all of my classes being on Tuesdays. Besides that, I am available any other day of the week :) I also speak Spanish! When caring for your pet in your home, my top priorities are safety, respect, and consistency. I treat your space with the same care and cleanliness I’d expect in mine, and I make sure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I will carefully follow your instructions, stick to your pet’s routine, and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. Whether it’s feedings, litter box cleaning, going for a walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m reliable, gentle, and always respectful of your home and your pet’s well-being. You can relax knowing they’re in trustworthy, experienced hands.
“Andrea took amazing care of our dog when we were away for 2 weeks. She gave her long walks, all the treats, and followed all care instructions. She’s attentive and loves our dog, even though our doggy can be a little nervous and timid at first. We love that we now can have a caring dog walker and sitter for our little Mia. Thanks Andrea!!”


“Very detailed and professional. My 3 fur babies who have never opened to somebody in first meeting so quickly did so in 10 min of his arrival. He seems very passionate abpit his profession:)”

About: I am an animal lover living in Ridgewood. I grew up with cats my entire life. I also raised a basset hound named Sandor. I am kind and compassionate, willing to do overnights, drop-ins, and walks with your pets. Establishing trust with an animal and allowing them to adjust to your presence is one of the most important parts of the process. I have been caring for neighbors pets for years and walked dogs professionally in Manhattan. I’m available for walks and drop-ins during the weekdays also overnights if you’re going out of town for a week or more. I love pets. I will be able to drop in to give your fur baby some love when you’re at work or will stay overnight when you travel.
“Marisa was wonderful! She spent the weekend expertly caring for our 6 cats and dogs as if they were her own. Marisa was really good about communicating with us throughout the weekend, both in writing and through sharing pictures. Caring for 6 fur babies is a lot to begin with but she handled all of them so well. I would recommend and would love to work with Marisa again.”

“Camille was amazing with Fury! They bonded instantly, and the frequent updates kept our minds at ease while we were away. The process was seamless and professional. We’ll definitely work with her again!”

“Christopher was great with Chloe and very attentive to her. He sent lots of pictures while he was with her. He communicated with me when he got here, during his stay with Chloe, and right after he left. I will definitely be booking with him in the future!”

About: My first time taking care of a dog and house sitting was in 2018. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Even though the pandemic has changed how we live our lives, I am definitely looking forward to getting back to Dog walking or sitting. I currently work full-time. I can be available on the weekends. The morning or even the afternoon works well with me. I can also try to change my schedule if needed. I follow any instructions given to me on how to care for a pet. I have and will treat them as if they were mine.
About: Im currently a college student and I love animals. I'm a dog lover, I am very patient and can tolerate and love any type of dog, every dog has their own personality and I respect that. Time management is one of my skills, I'm responsible, your dog will be provided with the care she/he needs, your dog/puppy will be in great hands. I know how important your best friend is, which is why I'll make sure to give you updates as frequent as possible about how your doggie is doing. I have a flexible schedule. Don't worry about weekends! Those are the best days for me. I will also be sure to follow any special instruction your pet may need. I can't wait to spread the love and care with your pets!
“Schrin was terrific staying at my home taking care of my cat Pip over the Memorial Day Weekend. I highly recommend her and she will be caring for Pip again in the future.”


“Ryan was incredibly responsive, punctual, and sweet! Would recommend her time and time again. She was so easy to work with an accommodating and I really appreciated her willingness to keep Angelo safe and comfortable! Thanks soo much, Ryan!!”

“Lenin was a great house sitter and sitter for my pets! His communication was thorough and professional, and I got plenty of great updates, photos, and videos. I will definitely contact him again when I need a sitter!”

“Tedy was caring and sweet, she is very knowledgeable. My dog was nervous at first but she was great with him and he warmed up to her. She kept us informed and up to date with everything and sent many videos. We will be using her again for walks and dog sitting.”

“Second time using Marlene and she was just as stellar as before! So happy to have her to take care of my boys! She sent update photos when she was with them and provided stellar care”

“Isabel was fantastic with our pup while we were away. She was communicative, attentive, and clearly took great care of him. The regular updates gave us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend!”


“Kier was absolutely AMAZING! He was so caring with my 2.5 year old Cockapoo - and sent me updates/photos multiple times a day. My pup looked like he was having way more fun with Kier than he does with me :). Thank you, Kier!!”

About: Fully insured for pet injuries, vet bills, and property damage. Animal shelter volunteer and former Accountant. I have a 9.5-year-old dog, so I understand the love, care, and attention your furry family member needs ❤️ I'm planning to do pet care full-time so your dog won't be alone for more than 3 hours. My sister also lives with me so there's usually company around 🐾🐱🐶 I have a fenced backyard and my own dog to keep your pet happy and social. My home is clean, secure, and pet-safe to ensure a comfortable environment at all times
About: Hello! <3 I am a loving pet-sitter with 7 years of dog care and 2 years of cat care (and counting). While under my care, your pet will be loved on and paid the utmost attention to, and I adore pets with all their personalities and quirks. Whatever your pet needs, I’ll be there. I am a cat mom to a three-year-old tuxedo girl. She used to be quite sensitive and shy, so I’m very comfortable with adapting to the personality of your pet. I’d be more than happy just being in the presence of your cat and keeping them company during their care. My family has a seven-year-old Boston/Frenchie mix who has needed medical care in the past and present (sudden allergic reactions, eye surgeries, allergy shot administration, medicated ear cleanings, etc.), so I am familiar with the ins-and-outs of routine doggy care, on top of exciting walks around the park and lots of play time (and maybe a nap or two). All in all, I'll be able to adapt to whatever unique personality your pet has and care for them like my own. I absolutely adore animals and would love to extend that compassion to your baby as well, whether through check-ins, walks, or house-sits. I am currently a full-time college student with a very flexible class schedule (lots of gaps/days off), so I'll have plenty of time to play with, walk, and/or cuddle ur pup/kitty. I just need a day or more's notice! For dogs and cats, I let them lead the way for what makes them most comfortable. I'm more than happy to give your pet space and (supervised) solitude, or be a super hype play buddy! I am comfortable providing special care and/or medication to your pet if needed. I'm a very open and transparent communicator, and won't hesitate to ask questions. The same respect I have for your pets, I'll have for your home and space.
Kew Gardens pet parents share their Rover experiences
I cannot express enough how happy I am we found Phaedra! Shelby and Lucky instantly warmed up to her and we knew right away they’d be in great hands while we were away. She kept me updated the whole time and spent a lot of time working with Shelby, who is afraid of everything and is very reactive on walks, and it was amazing to see the difference in her from when we left to when we got back. We came home to happy pups and a clean house. I will definitely have Phaedra watch Shelby & Lucky again!

Marlene was easy to communcate with from our first message. She arrived on time (and our appointment was for 5:30 in the morning, so this is an important detail), listened to all my anxious instructions, and followed them to a tee. She sent me an update to assure me that all was well, along with photos, which I truly appreciated. The dogs were clearly comfortable with her, and she with them, and they were content when I arrived back. She has a calm and reassuring demeanor, which put me at ease, and I would definitely want her to stay with my dogs again. I highly recommend her to you.

Nouni took great care of my two pups at our home while we were away. She was very responsive to our texts and had no issues administering my boy Lino’s daily eye medication. They enjoyed their walks, and even though there was snow everywhere, they were walked daily, fed properly, and had a great time with her👏🏽 Definitely recommend her!

Regina was such a thoughtful, caring, and attentive sitter for our two cats. She sent pictures and video clips every day, and let us video call them when she could sense they missed us. She was considerate and kind, and I loved that she created a genuine connection with our babies, so much so that she will miss them. I highly recommend working with Regina. Thank you for making our week-long vacation worry-free!

Catherine was great!! She stayed over Thanksgiving break to watch our cats and they had a great time with her. She also went above and beyond to clean our apartment before we came back. We came home to relaxed, happy cats and a clean home, which makes traveling much less stressful. Would highly recommend her to watch anyone’s pets!
