Sarah did drop-in visits for my cat and was very communicative and reliable! It was a relief having someone who clearly has experience with and a love for cats look out for mine while I was away. Sarah left the apartment cleaner than what we left it! I would definitely request to book her again.

My two cats absolutely loved Meg! I came home to two happy boys well-fed, litter boxes spotless, and clearly showered with affection. She’s wonderfully attentive and caring.

About: Hi! I'm new to Rover but not to dog care. I have been a caretaker on Wag for a few months and have walked/ sit over a 100 pups! I have experience with large dogs, small dogs, old dogs, puppies, & caring for multiple pups at the same time. I also grew up around dogs & still love spending as much time with them as I can (I don't have one of my own currently). Since I moved to Brooklyn two years ago l've adopted a fur baby of my own named Chai :) he is a cat but he has taught me so much about pet care and I've loved every second of it. I can't wait to meet your dog (or cat) and give them a great walk, play time, and/or good pets! I am available to take care of your pets before or after my job. I work 9-6pm Monday-Thursday, and Friday I work from home so I am available the whole day. I am also available during the work day Monday-Thursday for drop-ins if it’s close to my office, which is in FiDi. I am available all day on weekends! I can play with them in your home or take them to the park or the dog park. I prefer to keep dogs I care for on-leash at the park, at least while we’re getting to know each other. And I always keep dogs on-leash while walking.

About: $20 off for all new bookings https://www.rover.com/sit/franco89631 Hi! Call me Frankie, I’ve cared for pets my whole life. Grew up with dogs and cats, and have owned large dogs as an adult. Professionally, I’ve been a dog walker and pet sitter for the last 10 years at 3 different companies with a clean background check. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs, from puppies to senior dogs with medical needs. Because of my respect, my love, and my detail-oriented nature I often had repeated clients. I had taken a break away from pet sitting/walking to focus more on my own dog who became sick last year. Unfortunately after 9 years my Doberman Harley passed a few months ago. Although I am still griefing, I believe getting back into caring for others pets will help my healing process. I can guarantee in providing patience, compassion, attention, and safety to others fur babies. I still have another dog named Alvin, who is a very friendly big dog, and misses having extra company to hang with in our spacious back yard. He gets excited meeting new pups and we can't wait to hang out with any of yours! I'm home with my partner all day with Alvin who loves the company of other pups while we care for them. We have loads of sun patches for them to lay in In my home, pets get lots of love, structure, and safety. I have a fenced yard for playtime, follow all care instructions, and can crate train if needed. I make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and part of the family.

Kate was amazing! So communicative and warm. I was gone over July 4th and she even offered to spend extra time with my little guys during the scary fireworks. I could tell when I got back that my cats, one of whom has CH and can be a little prickly with new folks, felt so safe with her. High recommend!

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’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.

I can't say enough good things about Katerina. She takes such good care of my cats. Neither of my babies is necessarily super friendly (and one is absolutely petrified of strangers) but Katerina has won them both over and now they love her. Shes super responsible and responsive and attentive and I always know they'll be well taken care of. I always worry about them when I'm away and it feels so much better knowing that she's looking after them because I'm always sure she'll do a great job.

Yuanyan did an outstanding job with my two cats while we were on vacation. She has a very caring nature and also is very responsible. She meticulously followed the instructions, handled their medicines well, and did a good job of cleaning up after them. Communication and timing were stellar. It seems that my cats really like her too. I will hire her again for our next trip.
