House Sitting in Riverdale, Bronx, NY

“Carson was very patient with me as I sorted out my schedule. She came highly recommended from the references she provided. She cared for my elderly dog, Penny, including administering a complicated regimen of medication. I would hire her again!”

“Kamryn is FANTASTIC! Our 80 pound Lab Whitby absolutely loves her and was sad to see her go. We highly recommend Kamryn for house/dog sitting and hope to have her back again this summer!”

About: I owned two dogs up until the age of 16 and loved them dearly. I often took my dogs out for long walks and played with them to make sure they were always active & engaged. Since then, I’ve dog/cat sat for numerous friends and neighbors throughout and post college. I always treat others’ animals with the same love and care as I did with my own! I currently work from home, so I have the flexibility to walk or play with your dog before 9am or in the afternoon and evenings if needed! Unfortunately I am unable to host at this time due to my resistance not allowing dogs, but I am available to dog sit in your home! I will ensure the comfort and safety of your dog at all times in a clean environment and can provide any specific additional/necessary support needed!

About: I’ve taken care of fur babies since I was 14. I grew up with a loving red nose pitbull, Raja, who was my lifelong friend. When she passed away we had two blue nose pit bulls ~ Zuma & Chinx. These babies were so loving, protective , fun, and crazy. I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. So I want to treat your fur babies the way I would my own. What I offer is love, compassion, kindness, and TREATS!! I am currently a full time student and mom! I do this in between my school load and volunteering at my little ones school. So, I can handle the work, provide love / support, and send cute fur baby mail!! 🐶🐱 I would treat these babies like they are my own, which means an experience that is unique. These animals will be treated with the upmost love, respect, care, and devotion. You need to have no worries with me!

“Max was great, he spent time getting to know my dog. He was calm and friendly with him, taking time to understand him a bit. He kept me updated on his status, he walked, fed, and played with him during house sitting. He also replied quickly to the request, and came out on short notice.”

“Chenelle was really great with communication! She sent lots of photos and videos during her stay and took good care of my boys. Would recommend!”

“Raiysa was great with Ekko! She listened to everything we asked from her, and Ekko was really relaxed with her. He even ate and he never eats when we’re gone!”

About: I have cared for cats and dogs on and off since I was 10. Friends and family members have trusted me with the care of their pets. Presently, I am available 7 days a week. I provide stimulating, loving care for your fur baby. I can care for up to 2 pets per day, or as my schedule allows. Right now, I do not have the ability to care for pets in my home. Any care that I give will have to be public or in the client's home. I am fully insured and bonded for your peace of mind.

“Kamila has been an amazing dog sitter for my dog Wolvie on several occasions. She is caring, responsible, and always makes sure Wolvie is happy and well looked after. I highly recommend her!”

“I can’t recommend Erick enough! He watched my dog Shadow over a long weekend and was truly incredible from start to finish. Shadow can be a bit reactive with other dogs and kids, and Erick took the time to meet him beforehand to ensure a good fit. They hit it off right away (the treats definitely helped!). Throughout the stay, Erick was super communicative and responsive, giving me peace of mind while I was away. He went above and beyond- taking Shadow on long walks through our local park, keeping up with his medication, sticking to his feeding and potty schedule, and giving him plenty of playtime and attention. He even used some paw balm on Shadows paws after long walks to keep them nourished and left some for me to use as well. I also came home to a tidy space, which was such a thoughtful touch. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and all-around amazing sitter, Erick is your guy. Shadow is already looking forward to his next stay!”

About: I grew up with both Cats and Dogs and have experience as a pet owner as I have 2 cats of my own. I also have a lot of experience as a sitter/boarder and professional dog walking! I’m comfortable administering medicine and dealing with aging pets needs. I have some experience with puppies and kittens as well. I have equal experience with cats and dogs and love them both! House Sitting, Dog Walking, and Drop-Ins: I have experience with house sitting and drop-ins so no need to worry. I am very trustworthy and dependable! I’m good at following directions. I’ve seen it all :) I know a lot of beautiful walking routes in the area. I took a break from rover for a while, but I’ve continued to pet sit and dog walk the entire time just not on here. I can provide more references if needed. I have two cats that are comfortable around dogs for boarding. Let me know if you have any questions. I’m a student so I have plenty of time during the summer months. Sitting and drop ins work fine with my own cats schedules as I have roommates they love to hangout with while I’m gone. I drop by to feed them dinner and they snack on dry food in the mornings. My schedule is flexible and open! I listen to owners as they know their pet best. Willing to follow even the most hyper specific directions to ensure everyone is comfortable and safe.

About: I grew up with cats and they felt like sisters to me. I enjoy spending time with animals as they are very healing to me. I have a very flexible and open schedule at the moment for your pet sitting needs. I look forward to meeting your furry children :) I follow the instructions and notes given by clients or friends very carefully. I understand the boundaries the animal sets and I let it come to me when it’s ready.

“This was Naomi first time with Spartacus. She has the patience of a saint and has a lot of knowledge about animals. She gave me some great tips for Spartacus and has a wonderful personality. We felt very comfortable with having her in our house and look forward to her helping us with our fur baby in the future!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with two years of hands-on experience working in a private pet sitting business—learning everything from body language and behavior to positive reinforcement training. I specialize in the playful and misunderstood. With a background in healthcare for the elderly, I bring a ton of patience, empathy, and intuition to my work—whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or somewhere in between. I’m passionate about building trust, keeping things fun, and creating a little community through wagging tails and happy purrs. I am available every weekend from Friday evening to Sunday. I am also available weekday evenings @ 6PM or later for drop-ins and walks. House sitting can be any time as long as your fur baby is safe and adjusted to being alone during weekday business hours (9-5). I have my own car and have been driving for nearly a decade. I can no longer have my own pets due to apartment rules, so I’m more dedicated than ever to care for yours. I can make the most of your living space or explore your neighborhood and local parks.

About: I’ve been looking after dogs of all sizes since I was 12. I love spending time with animals big and small, they’re my number one priority I am currently in between jobs so I have plenty of free time to spend with your pup. I’m based in Manhattan and can generally start work around ten AM. I always strive to leave my clients homes in a nicer state than when I got there. I’m very attentive to feeding times and or medication needs. I love to play with pets, so they’ll never be bored

“TRUSTWORTHY that word has weight, these days. I trust her with Momo, alone, in my house, for days. She delivers. She’s got a wonderful sense of humor. You know? Total dog person”

“Manny is an incredible pet sitter. He is responsive and checks in regularly. I was so nervous to leave Stanley, who has special needs, in the care of a new pet sitter but Manny quickly allayed my fears and did a wonderful job. Stanley loves him and looks forward to hanging out with him again.”

“Savanna and Maddy took amazing care of our shy cat. We got updates daily with pictures and a summary on how she was doing, and it was very evident that Savanna was extremely knowledgable about cats and was treating ours with both love and respect. We came back to a clean home and a happy cat, and are planning to book with them again. I would 100% recommend these ladies to anyone looking for a sitter who has buckets of love to give and the knowledge to back it up.”

About: Hey everyone! I'm a part time dog sitter/dog walker in the Kingsbridge and Riverdale area. I gladly accept bookings with a day notice. I'm on this platform because I’ve taken care of dogs for most of my life through my family, family friends, and even neighbors. They've trusted me to nurture, nourish, and exercise their dogs during their very busy schedules. I’m available most days so I can watch your dogs if any conflict quickly arises. I love to go on walks in my neighborhood or the surrounding neighborhoods so it would also be nice to have a little buddy go with me as well. Your dog's well-being and happiness are my top priorities and I look forward to the opportunity to accompanying them on these adventures. When it comes to caring for pets, whether in my own home or at a client's residence, I am dedicated to ensuring their comfort, safety, and well-being.
