About: I took care of a disabled senior lady for 4 years. She was a quadriplegic so she couldn't do anything on her own. I also took care of her kids and her pets. She had a large dog and a small dog. It fits into my daily routine because I get up early to go for runs and I think a lot of dogs would very much enjoy that. I like to give them love and attention. I like to plày with them to keep their minds occupied, I feel like that is a big part in them feeling happy.

About: I'm available for dog walks weekday mornings and afternoons, 8 AM to 3 PM. I'm looking to increase my daily steps to improve my health, and I'd love to help your dog get their exercise in at the same time! While my professional experience is new, you can count on me for punctual, attentive walks, ensuring your furry friend gets the fresh air and activity they need during these specific hours. Offering dog walking or drop-in visits from 8 AM to 3 PM from Monday to Friday. No weekend and overnight services available at this moment. Please let me know as many details as possible about your furry friends prior to the services. I will only use food that you provide and will not bring any food with me.

“As always Jason went above and beyond for Cali & Willie. The kitties absolutely love Jason and greet him as soon as he arrives even if it’s been almost 6 months since they last saw him. Thank you as always Jason!”


“Julie is awesome! She took a great care of my two cats, always sent me pics during her visit. Appreciated her communication and timely updates so much. Overall very pleasant experience. I’ll definitely reach out to her again!”


About: Hi, I'm Maria! I adore dogs and cats! I've been walking and sitting dogs for over 13 years and a professional pet photographer for 8 years. I grew up with lots of cats and dogs, and I volunteered at an animal hospital while in college. Today, I have a friendly female creme Shiba Inu, Lula. I offer 1/2-hour or full-hour dog walks and pets sitting in the Whitestone and Beechhurst areas of Queens. I will take your puppy to the park for a stroll, a dog park or just around your area - whatever you prefer. Dogs in my trust for walks are NEVER left alone or unsupervised. I always "clean up" after dogs in my care and keep them on the leash unless, with your permission, we go to a secure fenced dog park. Whatever your instructions I will make sure they are followed exactly as you request. I'm a punctual, responsible, and respectful person who loves dogs. I will take good care of your puppy as if they were my own. I will make sure they feel comfortable and receive plenty of attention and affection during their stay with me! As a lifelong owner of dogs and cats, providing a consistent schedule of daily care, feeding, walks, and affection comes naturally to me and my schedule. I provide care, feeding, clean up and affection as instructed. I'm also happy to follow any other instructions that may be specific to each pet.

About: Hi! I have always been a life long dog lover. Having grown up with four dogs of my own and eventually adopting my own as an adult, as well as caring for others dogs, you can feel comfortable with your dogs in my car. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. (I grew up with Boston Terriers and Cane Corso Mastiffs!) I can do overnight stays in your home, drop ins, feeding, walks, bathing, medication administration, etc (just ask!) I truly have always been a massive dog lover and while I don’t have any dogs of my own now, being able to be around dogs and help care for them is such a joy for me! I am a full time Teacher so evenings and weekends are when I have more availability. I also have extended time available during the larger school breaks. Despite working full time, I can do overnight stays in your home depending on the days and location. If you need a specific time/day, reach out and ask and I can try to make it work! Because of my own territorial only child, Willow, I cannot offer services in my house. That said, in your home, I will keep the environment exactly how you want it to be. I want to ensure that your pets environment is the same as always so they feel comfortable. I am very adaptable and want you and your pet to feel comfortable!

“I chose Emily to care for my two cats while I was in the hospital recovering from an emergency surgery. Emily is a true cat person and an experienced vet tech at an animal shelter. Emily provided quality time with my cats as well as frequent updates and pictures of my babies. I had never been away from my cats for a long duration but Emily alleviated my fears by taking excellent care of them. I am truly grateful for Emily's assistance and recommend her to anyone needing a dedicated and reliable cat sitter.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats for about 7 years . Mostly for friends and family when they travel. I either keep them over night or can also do visits, depending on your preference . I have 2 cats my self shady (9) and Melvin (6). They’re the sweetest cats , they don’t bother , they’re friendly and just want love. I have a hybrid schedule I work in office and also from home . My days varies and my schedule is very open . I do not work weekends . My house has a lot of windows for the cats to lay and sun bathe. We have a front garden that I usually let my cats out for 30 mins a day depending on the weather.

About: I have a huge heart for all furry friends! In addition to caring for my own dog, I have experience dog sitting, fostering a puppy and volunteering at the animal shelter. My goals is always to provide a safe space, offering them a caring and comfortable environment. In addition, I am super active and love being outdoors! I enjoying long walks, hikes, and adventures with my own dog, so your pet will receive the same level of love and attention that I give to my own! I go into the office once a week, but work from home for the rest is days! I work Monday through Friday (9-5),but take my dog out at 7am, 12pm and around 6pm for walks and potty breaks. I can accommodate more time outside depending on your dogs needs! On the weekends I’ll spend a few hours at the park, beach or some large field for my dog to run around.

I’ll always include play time, enrichment activities, balanced meal times and snacks, upkeep grooming/hygiene needs and of course provide a loving and safe space for your pups needs.

About: I'm an incredibly active individual. I love to lift weights, practice martial arts, hike, and go on runs. This allows me to be an excellent fit for a dog whose energy levels are high. If you'd prefer for me to not just take your dog to the bathroom, but provide them a good amount of exercise as well, I'm a great fit! When I'm not taking care of dogs I work as a writer, director, and editor on films, social media videos, and commercials. If you've ever wanted any photos or videos of you and your four legged friend (or just them) I can provide high quality images/videos for you as well whether you want to just show off to your friends and family or just to have status updates on how your dog is doing. Because I work freelance my schedule tends to be flexible and allows me to set my own hours usually. I will work with you as best as I can to fit your needs within my schedule. I treat dogs very similarly to how I treat people. I show them a great deal of respect, empathy, and love. I do tend to spoil my own dog here and there, but I also try to love him as unconditionally as he does to me. A golden rule I try to follow is treat others the way you want to be treated. Another golden rule I try to follow is to see myself in others. I also apply these two golden rules to my encounters with pets and nature in general.


About: Took a hiatus from Rover, but am back ready to love on your pets! ** Dog walking/sitting services are paused for the season** I have loved dogs and cats ever since I was a little girl. Everyday with a fur baby is a better day. In the past I have cat and dog sat for friends and family to ensure their fur baby is happy and healthy so their fur parents can enjoy their vacation without worries. During my free time I find myself on Instagram and TikTok scrolling cute animal videos, as well as volunteering for the local pet shelter. My goal is to make sure that while you're away your fur-baby is well taken care of and as happy as can be despite missing their hooman. Therefore these are my non-negotiables to ensure that both parties are set up for success: - Meeting you and your cat/dog in person beforehand with you on-site to ensure your cat/dog is aware I'm not a random person showing up in it's territory. - Detailed instructions and info on your cat/dog and their needs are shared; whether its something big or small, to me it's important. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to meeting you and your fur friend! My current availability is Monday-Saturday 9a-630p EST for drop in visits, if other times are needed, please discuss with me ahead of time. Thank you!! Services I include: - clean food/water bowls - refill food/water bowls - clean litter box - cuddle + play time - brushing - watering plants if needed (I'm a part time plant-mom myself) - updates on how your cat/dog is doing during my visit - collecting the mail if needed

“Sofía has been the best!! I’m so happy she could take care of my pets while I was away, I have a senior cat and 2 birds. The pets love her and she is very kind and communicative. Would book with her again, 10/10!!”

7. Caitlyn C.
“Hello, As Caitlin's younger brother I've known her all my life. And I couldn't think of anything better for her than to spend more time with animals which she always loved. We've had quite a few animals growing up in the family and if pet sitting or walking is something she's inquiring about I couldn't think of anybody more fit for the job.”

“Leaving our cars is always tough, but knowing Jen Hsuan is caring for them gives us complete peace of mind. She is consistently punctual, and follows all our care instructions.

12. Mimi H.
“I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Rover and our wonderful dog sitter, Mimi. When we had to find a reliable and caring pet sitter for our furry family member, Daisy, we were a little nervous. But, thanks to Rover and Mimi, those worries quickly melted away. From our very first contact, Mimi was responsive and eager to learn about Daisy's routine and preferences. She took the time to understand Daisy's dietary needs and her favorite spots to play. Throughout our trip, Mimi sent us regular updates, including pictures and videos, which was a delightful way to stay connected with Daisy. It was clear that Daisy was in great hands and was enjoying her time with Mimi, with daily walks, playtime, and endless belly rubs. Rover's commitment to safety and security was evident in the thorough background checks and the detailed information they provided about Mimi. It was reassuring to know that our beloved Daisy was entrusted to someone so responsible and caring. When we returned home, it was apparent that Daisy not only had a wonderful time but was better behaved, thanks to some training Mimi worked on during our absence. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. In conclusion, we can't recommend Mimi and Rover's dog sitting services enough. They made our time away stress-free and allowed us to relax knowing that Daisy was in capable and loving hands. If you are seeking a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter, look no further than Rover, and consider yourself fortunate if you have the opportunity to have Mimi care for your beloved pet.”


13. Antoinette M.
“Antoinette has cared for my dog Archie multiple times, and there is no one else I trust as much as her with my fur baby! She is attentive and knowledge about pets and truly cares for my boy like he is her own. Antoinette pays close attention to what your pet needs and makes sure they have the most fun while you are away! She is responsive, reliable and understands how important it is for you to feel at ease while you are away from your pet. I would highly recommend her to care for your baby (or babies) while you are away!”

18. Andrew G.

“Andrew has been a lover of dogs and caretaker for dogs for most of his life. His family adopted a shelter dog when he was in the first grade and he referred to the family pet as his brother. Even as a youngster he loved walking his dog and traveling with him. His love of dogs was emphasized when he attended college out of state and felt compelled to adopt a dog to provide soothing warmth and companionship. He always gave high priority to his dogs which was exemplified by his concern and attention to their well being as they aged and faced medical issues. Any client could rest assured that Andrew would always place their pets interests first and care and protect them whenever he was engaged to watch them/provide services for them. I make these statements based on my observationa and personal relationship with Andrew. Sincerely, Lee G.”
