1. Andrew G.


“Andrew is great! He really cares about each dog like if they were his own. Always very responsive and willing to help. Thanks Andrew!”


2. Minju S.

“Minju is an excellent dog walker. My Gabriel gets so excited as it nears the time for her to pick him up! He comes back rejuvenated and lots of energy. She does an excellent job for Gabe and myself no worries!”


3. Daniel P.

“Shang is super responsive, friendly, responsible, and reliable. I needed a walker last minute when my regular ones weren’t available and he really helped me out!! Will definitely use him again!”


4. Maria A.


“Maria did a great job walking my dogs. She quickly developed a nice rapport with them, and I know Lucky loved his longer walks to the park, and Harley her short walks.”


5. Jessica F.


“Jessica has been caring for my dog Niko for several years. From the first meeting I was impressed with how she interacted with Niko and how quickly she put him at ease. He loves her and when I have to leave him knowing Jessica is there to care for him gives me incredible peace of mind! She is someone who really loves and understands animals and it shows in how happy and relaxed Niko is when I return home. You couldn’t ask for a better caretaker for your pet!”


6. Michelle C.

“Michelle is fantastic. Before scheduling an appointment, she arranged a meet and greet to get to know Apollo. From the moment Apollo met Michelle, we knew he was in great hands. His first walk with her went smoothly, with regular updates and photos. Highly recommend.”


7. Noa L.
“Noa is fantastic with dogs! She's been walking my 2-year-old, rambunctious pit bull Rosie for some time now. And, well, let's be honest...Rosie is much better with Noa than she is with me. Noa just has that calming way with dogs. And she's strong, so Rosie knows who's the alpha. And she's sweet, so Rosie loves her to death. Your pup is in good hands with Noa. Plus, she is super reliable. I recommend Noa 200 percent!”


8. Jessica W.
“Jessica is a very loving pet owner and is very dedicated to taking care of pets. She is often very playful and interactive with her cat, and other friends' pets as well. She would always put their needs and wellbeing first.”


9. Chanmi L.
“She graduated with major of Resources and zoology in South Korea. She had 2 dogs and they lived for 18 and 15 years each. She knows how to care pets and has knowledge about pets needed.”


10. Sylvia F.

“Sylvia is a trustworthy person to take care of your furry friends. I was wary of using Rover because I’ve never had a stranger take care of my dog, let alone come into my vacant apartment. Sylvia was very thorough in updating me and sending pictures/ videos of what she was doing and how my dog was doing. She was very communicative and made sure I didn’t worry about my dog. Highly recommend!”


11. Filomena G.
About: Hello! I've had a deep love of dogs my entire life and was fortunate enough to have had two beautiful dogs over the past 25 years. I love to walk, play and lightly train dogs while they're in my care. I'm also developing healthy dog treats that I share with all the neighbor's dogs for their input (they love them!). I currently volunteer at PAWS NY, which helps humans & dogs, providing walks for the elderly or people that are disabled. I look forward to caring for your dog as my own. They are angels and deserve the best care! I am available to walk or sit dogs 7 days a week! I was recently job-eliminated, working for the past 35+ years in the publishing field, so now my main focus is on dogs, finally! I currently live in an apartment on the 2nd floor which is easily accessible to the outdoors. I also have access to a small fenced in yard in my 3-family home and access to a larger, unfenced yard next door, where my daughter lives. I love to walk and can walk for mile to the nearest large park in Whitestone or Bayside.


12. Gina S.
About: I love all kind of animals but have a soft spot for dogs. My last 2 roommates had a dog and I would take care of them whenever they were away. They both grew on me so much that I still miss them. I fall in love with every dog I meet. I will take care of your pet like it's my own. I just moved to New York 3 weeks ago and looking to make some extra money while doing one of my favorite activities: spending time and getting to know new animals. Recently I found 3 stray kittens behind my apartment building and nursed them back to health and found them all loving homes. Every animal that I meet I embrace with love!


13. Jamie R.

“Jamie is a pleasure to work with. Both of our work schedules change week to week and we are working well together to accommodate my pup. She is organized, communicative and a natural around dogs. My pup took a liking to her immediately, as did I.”


14. 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.”


15. Emily R.
“Emily is the most loving and responsible pet caretaker. She will not only care for your pet as if it's her own, she is incredibly knowledgeable about the healthcare of animals since she is an experienced vet tech. i highly recommend Emily!”


16. Abbie X.
“I highly recommend Abbie as a pet caregiver! She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or simply providing a comforting presence, Abbie always goes the extra mile to ensure pets feel safe, loved, and happy. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their furry family members! I know this first hand as she took care my dog before when I went on vacation and my dog absolutely loves her!”


17. Darshan P.
About: As a pet owner, I have truly learned the importance of having a pet. It is like a child, a sibling, and a crucial part of one family. I am a college student, trying to make extra money on the side and would love to get to know you and your pet. I am a full-time student, but I come for the holidays and breaks. I am currently available until January 18th. Please feel free to reach out with any concerns or questions. I make sure that the pet feels secure and safe under my care and then ask questions from the owners on what there pets preferences are and what there daily routine would look like with there pet in order to reflect my job.


18. anna z.

“Anna had great communication, patience, and respect for my fur baby and home. I would recommend her services time and time again!”


19. Sofia T.
“Sofia is a trustworthy, honest, intelligent young woman. During Covid, she lived with me, and helped look after my dog. She was always reliable, caring, and strong. You’d be lucky to have her work for you!”


20. Carmen H.
“I left my my dog Winter with Carmen for a few days while I was out of town and was a little nervous at first but she asked about all the little details ahead of time—Winter’s favorite toy, how she does on walks— and kept me in the loop with many photos throughout the day. I was getting photos of her completely relaxed, and even cuddled up on the couch. When I came to pick Winter up, she looked so happy and well taken care of. I can just tell that she loved hanging out with Carmen. I would 100% have Carmen watch her again the next time I go on vacation!”
