“Xiaoying did an excellent job! We came home to happy cats and a clean space, and we could tell from her daily updates that the cats were well cared for throughput our trip.”

I am a stay at home mom so i am home all day everyday i find so much joy in caring for my family and dogs I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company!

About: Hi, my name is Julia, and I am a Master of Library Science student. I have been caring for pets my entire life and have experience looking after, walking and administering medication for pets of all shapes and sizes. This includes senior pets. I have been dogsitting for friends and family for several years including long term, overnight stays. I’ve looked after everything from a tiny shih tzu to two Belgian Malinois-sized rescues at once. Since moving from Florida to start my graduate studies, my family has been caring for my two rescue cats Yoshi and Cori, whom I miss dearly. I am offering drop-in visits, house sitting and dog walking services. Availability: Every day except after 3 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. As my family and friends can assure you, I treat every pet I meet with love and care, as if they were my own. I hope to care for yours too ❤️ I am in school full-time with a schedule that leaves me a lot of availability during the day. My classes are on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays starting at 4 p.m. Every other time of the week, I’d be happy to lend my pet care services. I am a diligent caregiver with a watchful eye who likes to respect a pet’s autonomy. I am patient and respectful of cats that may be shy or dogs that may be nervous but open to a good cuddle with a pet that might need it.

About: Growing up, I had the joy of loving and caring for an 80-pound, goofy, American Pitt Bull Terrier, named Meryn. Throughout my high school years, he was my constant companion, playing catch at the East River Park on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. We would jog across the Williamsburg Bridge and run up and down the stairwell in my apartment building to burn off energy (we lived on the 11th floor). He was an incredibly curious boy, who made training fun. He was very motivated by treats and praise. Through repetition and treats he learned all the basic commands. I have petsat many times for family members over the years. Pets included are dogs (large and small breeds) cats, hamsters, and a bearded dragon once. My longest dogsitting experience lasted 3 weeks with my aunt’s pug, Coco Rico, while my aunt was on vacation. During this time, Rico had an ear infection and I had to administer his ear drops. Being a pug, I had to ensure his eyes and face folds were clean. I have catsit for my brother’s diabetic cat, Tuna Fish, on several occasions. I administered insulin injections daily. I learned how to measure the proper dosage and how to safely/comfortably give her the injections. She was diagnosed with diabetes in 2020, so it was not easy learning how to give a cat a shot via a Zoom call with the vet! But learning this and helping my brother with the insulin injections, kept Tuna going for 4 more years after diagnosis. This is by far the most medical care experience I have had with pets. Nowadays, I regularly borrow my Gen Z daughter’s dog, Espresso. He’s a Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix, and my favorite little guy. My grandpup, if you will. With this past winter being a very cold one in NYC, I ensured to dress Espresso in his sweater, coat, and boots for his walks. I do photo shoots with him while on walks, during play time, and naps. I update her with anecdotes throughout the day, such as mentioning any puppy pals we ran into while out and anything funny or adorable he’s done. She even recently said to me, “You take the most wonderful pictures of him.” That truly warmed my heart because I love capturing him in different places and poses. My pet baby now is an American short hair cat with calico patterned fur, named Basil (aka Ms. Lady Boop Boop). She’s a 16 year old, still feisty gal, who has a favorite fishy toy that dangles from a wand. Being a senior, she has developed arthritis in her old age and now makes use of cushioned stairs to get on the couch/bed. She also needs an eye ointment, the application of which has become part of our daily routine. In the past, when she has been ill, I've also given her medicine in liquid form via syringe as well as getting her to swallow a pill. Additionally, I took care of a feral cat that would visit me now and then. My family has a home in Albany, in upstate New York, and I'm happy to board dogs up there for weekends or extended stays should a pet parent allow it. The feral cat that would visit me was in Albany and would appear randomly in our backyard. I fed and watered him whenever he came by. He was deaf and the sweetest guy, who loved rubs and to hang out on our deck. He had an extra digit on each front paw, so I dubbed him Thumbs. One day, when he visited, I noticed immediately that he had fleas on him. I gave him a bath a kiddy tub in my backyard with flea shampoo. I bought the flea comb and collar and got rid of those pesky bugs. I know he was grateful because he'd been scratching so hard, his fur was missing in some places. I am a visual artist and writer, working from home, so my weekdays are flexible. I set my own schedule working on my projects so I can easily accommodate different pet types and time slots for care. I occasionally travel to my family home in Albany, upstate New York, but I always plan that ahead of time and I am happy to board pets up there if the pet parent is open to that option. I live in a 2-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn, NYC. I am located on the 3rd (and top) floor of a walk-up building. I have a senior, female cat, who is very relaxed and sleeps most of the day. There is no outdoor space here, but there are local parks nearby, including a dog run. I also have a house upstate, in Albany, NY. There is plenty of space for running around here, including a backyard. We are currently having a fence put in and I will update this when it is installed.

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I used to be that kid on the block who would help the cats, the kittens or any lost dog off the streets to find their owners or placed in a new home. It used to drive my mom crazy but she let me help them, it has made me forever grateful for the fur babies I have free time to walk the fur babies at your need, currently unemployed, I recently moved back to NYC with my fur baby and my turtle with my partner. I am more than happy to assist and keep them company as I would want someone to do for my fur babies. My baby has so many loved ones who are helping me care for him so I would love to extend the help for those in need. It is my first time on Rover but if you introduce me to your babies you will see my love for animals is creating not only a safe space but ensuring they are happy, taken care of while their parents are working. Working and having pets is very demanding and I know it isn’t easy. I used to cry leaving my baby home alone for hours at a time due to work. I currently live in an apartment but my dog is trained to not run out of the door, we are very careful with entering and exiting. I would be devastated if my dog ever got lost. Taking care of another person fur baby would be like taking care of my own. I also make sure the floors do not have anything that can be ingested. It’s scary for a pet to ingested something foreign where it makes them sick. Any extra precautions that need to be taken I would make sure to follow through.

About: I have experience teaching dogs and puppies basic commands such as sit, lie down, stand, and stay, ensuring they develop good behavior and skills to stay obedient. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I like to stay active and constantly move on my feet, walking and running allows me to explore new neighborhoods and areas. This gives me the opportunity to meet different dogs breeds and learn about their unique traits and behaviors. I currently have pets of my own and regularly dog-sit for my sister’s German shepherd mix, ensuring he stays active by walking him four times daily to manage his high energy levels. Additionally, I have experience dog-sitting for my cousin’s pug mix, Louie, typically caring for him for about two weeks at a time. During these periods, I make sure he is bathed and groomed before returning home. Growing up, I owned a dog for approximately eight years, where I developed the essential skills needed to properly care for and manage a pet's well-being.

“So grateful for Katerina! I got so many cute pics while I was away and it was such a relief to know that my baby was in such good hands. I really appreciated the way it seemed like Katerina genuinely liked hanging out with my bb, it truly felt like it wasn't just a job for her. I always worry when I'm away but Katerina really made me feel soooo much less anxious because I know my kitty is being so well taken care of and is getting lots of love. Thank you so much!!!!!”

“Kennedy did an outstanding job looking after my baby Odette. My cat loved her and came out of her shell around Kennedy. I hope to rebook her for cat sitting in the future, and she was above and beyond at communication.”

“Eleni was WONDERFUL with my 2 cats!!! I will definitely be hiring her again!!! Mochi has diabetes and requires an insulin injection every 12 hours in addition to another medication twice a week and Eleni was happy to learn and able to give Mochi his meds which can be a bit daunting and sometimes difficult depending on his mood. but Eleni was attentive and really took the time to learn and care for him properly! my other cat Kumo is a scaredy baby and rarely shows his face around people but Eleni was patient and really put effort into getting him comfortable with her. Eleni updated me with great details about how they’re doing and food. the weather was changing every day from being very cold and then very hot and Eleni proactively adjusted the thermostat accordingly when needed! she would turn on cat TV every couple days AND put treats in their treat games daily so they would stay occupied during the day. Mochi had an accident and Eleni didn't hesitate to clean it up and take out the trash. she really took care of everything!”

About: Since adopting my own pup in 2022, I’ve fallen in love with caring for dogs of all kinds—from energetic puppies who need playtime galore to sweet seniors who prefer gentle cuddles. I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family, mastering the art of patience, routine, and tail-wagging fun. Working from home means your dog gets constant companionship, potty breaks on schedule, and plenty of affection. Your furry friend will be treated like family! 💕 Since I work from home full-time on weekdays, I’m always around to give your pup constant love, playtime, and frequent potty breaks (my own dog goes out 4+ times a day, so yours will get the same care!). On weekends and days off, I love staying active—whether it’s leisurely walks, park trips, or cozy downtime, I adapt to your dog’s energy level. From high-energy pups to laid-back seniors, I make sure every dog feels at home while sticking to their routine. Let me know your pet’s needs, and I’ll keep their tail wagging! My dog-friendly loft is a cozy, secure space wherever pups are welcome on furniture (including the bed!)—because let’s be honest, snuggles are non-negotiable. To keep things clean and safe, I wipe all paws after walks and tidy up any messes immediately. I’m attentive to each dog’s needs, whether it’s puppy-proofing for curious noses or senior-friendly accommodations. Rest assured, your pup will enjoy a happy, hygienic, and hazard-free stay!

“Wendy was a communicative and caring sitter and provided so much peace of mind for me while I was away! I will definitely be rebooking, thank you Wendy!”

About: I’m no stranger to walking & caring for dogs & cats because I’ve done it my whole life. I love meeting new pet friends & can’t wait to meet yours! I am currently working full time for a sports company but given that it’s a sports company my hours fluctuate a lot. On days where I am available for Rover, I’ll have plenty of time to play, walk, & care for pets! I typically like having conversations with pet owners prior to pet sitting & then dictating what is best for the animal in terms of care. Some animals loving going to the park & others like to say in an play with some toys. Depending on their favorite activities. I’m flexible & accommodate in any way!

About: I have taken care of my 6 year old Tibetan Spaniel Chi Chi since she was just 6 months old. I am from Havana, Cuba, where there are dogs and cats everywhere! I am used to them existing alongside us humans – they are living beings just like us with needs, personalities, and energy. I will be sure to wear your furry friend out 🐾 I am in school learning English, I do CrossFit, and I am a musician- it’s a flexible schedule. Just let me know what you need and we can make it work. I have a strong voice and can easily communicate with any pet depending on their needs. Animals have personalities just like us, so it's important to recognize that it's a two way street when communicating with them.
