“After we moved and needed a walker in our new neighborhood, Cassidy stepped without skipping a beat, to provide the care and attention our pups love from her. Both were really happy to see her and showed this with lots of excitement and tail wagging. Thanks again Cassidy!”

“David was really great with my Tallulah! She’s had swollen jowls and treatment was needed while I was gone. When I got back, her jowls looked so much better. Thanks David!”

“Regina is so sweet, she really gives both my animals the attention they deserve! She's very consistent and trustworthy, can't say enough good things about her.”

“Devora was super communicative, and was very patient with Cheeto (who can be a bit suspicious of new people in his space!). I got regular updates during the walk and felt at ease knowing she was looking after my lil guy. Will definitely be booking w Devora again!”

“adeline was incredible! she responded with such short notice and really helped me out when i needed it. she was attentive, communicative, and patient. i absolutely recommend her and felt so at ease knowing she was taking care of my lola!!”

“Kyra is fabulous! Super quick to respond, super helpful and my dog immediately liked her, which is hard because I have an anxious pup that usually hides from strangers. She's great, takes care of everything and is totally open when I make my little particular requests so that my lil' picky dog is always happy to see her! Thanks Kyra!!!!”

“Our dogs, Henny and Loki, love it when Asher comes over to dogsit them! He is so caring and attentive and they love all the pets he gives them. Asher is very communicative and we know that they are always in good hands with him.”


About: About me! Have had my cat Bo for 18 years, and also previously two Maine Coons. Currently have a second cat, Sydney, 3 years old, the second love of my life. Rescued an 11-year-old golden retriever in 2017. Have dog sat / cat sat / dog walked for family and friends for years, most recently a Rhodesian ridgeback and golden/lab mix in the West Village, and a husky/cattle dog and a chihuahua/Jack russell mix - both in Bushwick. I am reliable, friendly and easy going. I go the extra mile - not just in this but all things. I’ll do whatever in my power to care for your baby and make you feel comfortable. I get it - I’ve used this service. You want to know that the person is doing their part when and how they say, and that your dog/cat is in good hands. I’m also ok w messy jobs. I’ve cleaned up after my sisters bulldog/terrier mix Bonnie when she’s pooped all over the house Bc her stomach was upset :/ From Las Vegas/California, college educated (BA in journalism / polysci). I’m an actor, writer & remote worker. I currently work part-time, fully from home, and my schedule is flexible. With a bit of notice I should be able to accommodate most requests. Thank you for enquiring! I can do both in terms of pets in my home / clients home. As long as your animal is OK w a cat, they can stay at mine, but happy to dog/cat sit from your place as well.
“Thank you, Cailey! Sammy appreciates your patience as he takes a bit to warm up to someone but you seem to have a calm temperament and opened up quickly. We’ll definitely be rebooking.”

About: I've grown up around animals--dogs, cats, birds, snakes, horses even. Not only do I love all animals, but I take great pride in properly caring for my own and others. I have experience petsitting both small and large dogs, and cats of all ages. I can administer medication, if necessary, and am comfortable caring for pets with special medical needs. I’m able to prepare fresh meals for your pet if this is the diet they are on. I'm physically able to be active with your pet and provide the most stimulating day for your pup or kitty. My experience caring for my own and petsitting for others will provide you with a great service of your own!! I currently work remotely and have a very flexible work schedule. This allows me to set aside time to travel to any pet sitting jobs, take your pups on walks, and spend time feeding and playing throughout the day. I’m a very attentive, compassionate, and patient pet owner and sitter. I make time to play with any pet and tend to their needs. I’m conscious of items, foods, plants, situations etc., that may be harmful to pets. My pets are my family and I love them as such. I’ll treat your pets with the same care!
About: Hey I'm Rachael! I've had about 10 years of experience caring for dogs, not only my own but also being a sitter the past 6 years. I absolutely adore dogs and cats and will take care of yours as if they where my own. I grew up with dogs and while I don’t have one of my own at the moment I’ve watched around 50 different dogs in the past couple years. I have experience watching over night, drop ins and and range of dog ages. I’ve had puppies with high energy and also seniors who need a little bit more patience and time. I’m comfortable administrating medication either orally or syringe. I do have my own kitty that I’m obsessed with and his name is Benji😻 I hope to help you in any way possible and have a great day! I’m working part time at the moment so more of an open schedule for what you may need. Available on holidays and weekends of course too! I treat the house as I’d want a stranger in my house. Leaving everything the way I found it and cleaning up after myself if needed. I make sure that the pet is comfortable and give them lots of love!
About: I'm an animal welfare professional actively building toward a career in animal behavior and training, grounded in real-world shelter experience and a deep commitment to whole-animal care. My shelter background has given me hands-on experience with high-volume intake, humane handling of anxious and behaviorally complex animals, and close collaboration with medical, admissions, and volunteer teams. I work calmly under pressure and communicate clearly across all parts of an organization. Over the past year I've been going deeper into the areas I care most about: balanced training, behavior modification, play-based training, and socialization and neutralization work. I'm also drawn to the less-talked-about foundations of animal health, including nutrition, husbandry, and how they shape behavior. Training a personal service dog has been one of my most formative experiences, giving me an up-close look at how relationship, consistency, and technique intersect. Cats are just as central to my work as dogs, and honestly my own life. My first adopted cat came to me severely behaviorally challenged, and watching our relationship transform through the right nutrition, training, and species-appropriate enrichment has been one of the most rewarding experiences I've had with any animal. It deepened my belief that understanding the feline mind is just as important as understanding canine behavior, and I'm passionate about helping people see cats differently. Not as low-maintenance or mysterious, but as complex, communicative animals who thrive when their needs are truly met. Something I feel strongly about is helping the broader community understand what shelter life is really like — how it affects animal behavior, the many reasons dogs and cats end up there and are returned, and what that means for families considering adoption. There's so much misunderstood about shelter animals, and I think better public education leads to better outcomes for everyone. I do pet care full time as I train dogs and cats! I have a full house of animals with two cats, two dogs and a reptile! We enjoy an active life with walks, play and adventure although have a nice balance with rest too:) Safety is my #1 priority. I firmly believe that a trained animal is a happy animal! Every animal that comes into my care has clear expectations so everyone can thrive to the best of their ability. If at daycare, I have the ability to crate and separate dogs and I have a clean, fenced in backyard that has a doggy pool for those warm summer days! For check ins and walks, i'm all about what is most comfortable for the pet. If your cat just needs someone to clean their litter box, thats what I'm there for! Wether its a potty break or full adventure, I'm here for it!
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in Kentucky, where I spent my childhood caring for dogs, cats, and even a few horses! I have been in New York for 10 years, and have spent that time dog and cat sitting for friends, family, and neighbors across the city. I'm also a cat mom to two wonderful little cats (Pigeon - 6 & Salem - 4), so I know firsthand how crucial it is to trust the person caring for your pet and understand the importance of routines and patience when it comes to our fur babies. As someone who loves being active, I'm always happy to tailor walks to your dog's energy level, and as a writer by profession, I know how much thoughtful communication matters! I love sending photo updates and little stories so you know your pet is happy and in good hands. My #1 goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm happy to reinforce any training you're working on and have experience with shy, senior, or anxious pets. I love learning each pet's quirks—whether that's a favorite toy, preferred walking route, or bedtime routine. I can't wait to connect with you and your fur child! I work from home most days, so I am happy to provide drop-ins, walks, and overnight care at my home! I currently work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care. Because I'm home for much of the day, I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship instead of leaving pets alone for long stretches. I hope to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you're away! I live in a cozy one-bedroom apartment in a quiet three-unit building on the border of Ridgewood and Bushwick. My home is clean, calm, and a great environment for pets who enjoy a relaxed space to unwind. There are plenty of parks and tree-lined streets nearby for walks, and I love getting outside for regular exercise and fresh air. Since I work remotely, pets in my care receive lots of attention, companionship, and frequent potty breaks throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. Whether I'm hosting your pet, stopping by for visits, or taking them on walks, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for as if they were my own. I have two cats of my own and they get along with other pets super well! They love dogs and cats alike.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, and have been a pet sitter for both. I have cared for all kinds of dogs, ranging from a 4 month old golden retriever puppy to a 8 year old pittie mix, and have taken care of as many as three dogs in one home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ridgewood
Katherine is great. She took her time when meeting with our new rescue, honey immediately felt comfortable with her after day 2. She updates with pictures frequently throughout the walk and a review after the walk. Will definitely be recommending and sharing with friends and family.

Saige is amazing! She is so easy to work with and takes such good care of Hero (my pup). He has lots of quirks, so she does a very good job catering to those! He is also a very energetic guy, and she is so great playing toss with him. Truly makes it so I don’t have to worry!

I cannot recommend Regina enough! She stepped in for me last-minute when my unexpected surgery came up and her flexibility gave me so much peace of mind during a stressful time. My dogs were so well-cared for, and she even sent the absolute best, most adorable photo updates after every walk. It meant the world to know my pups were happy and in such great hands while I was recovering. Thank you so much!"

Hillary was absolutely wonderful with Chloe! She took such great care of her on every walk, kept me updated on how Chloe was doing and her activity, and was so sweet and attentive. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Chloe was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Hillary and will definitely be booking her again! ❤️

AJ is truly the best !! They go above and beyond to make my pup feel loved while I’m at work. They always send pics and updates too. They even drew some cartoons of my dog which I’m obsessed with. I was really nervous about using a dog walking app because I was worried about having strangers in my home but they immediately felt like a friend I could trust and rely on and you can tell they genuinely love animals. Thank you AJ!!!

Chase walked my little pup once and was great. Some walkers on the app don’t provide much communication but he was great both at communicating with me promptly about scheduling stuff and also sending pics and notes about my dog. Very appreciated. would 100% hire again.

Sarah T. Was great with our Jackie who can’t be a little shy at times. She was able to follow our extensive notes and instructions for shoes and meals without missing a beat. By the end of our week together our Jackie was meeting her at the front door with a wagging tale, which made us very relieved and happy to see. Thank you Sarah!
