House Sitting Riverdale

“Jackson was absolutely fantastic as a sitter for Rufus. Incredibly polite, a calm and kind demeanour and really communicative - Jackson sent us some updates whilst we were away to show how Rufus was getting on. We would thoroughly recommend Jackson for dog sitting - he is very knowledgeable about dogs and Rufus definitely relaxed in his company. Jackson is extremely trustworthy too and thoughtful - he asked plenty of additional questions about what Rufus likes and dislikes. Thank you Jackson we will definitely use you again to look after Rufus!”

“Cecilia was so awesome! She was attentive and diligent with all the care instructions. She sent updates with pics each day and my cat clearly loved her. I came home to an extremely clean and tidy home and a very happy kitty. Highly recommend Cecilia to care for your pets!”

“Patty was an excellent sitter! She watched my dog for a long weekend and he clearly loved her. She also sent photos throughout, which I love to receive as a pet parent. My apartment was well cared for too. I highly recommend her!”

“Megan was great with Louie! She was punctual, followed his schedule, sent a photo update, and played with him regularly. I came home to a very happy puppy. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Arin was so sweet and attentive to Aloo while I was away for a 4 day trip. She stayed in my home and kept it tidy and was very communicative with updates on Aloo throughout the sitting. I had mentioned Aloo is a rescue and is anxious and reactive and Arin reassured me that she would be careful with her walks and general care. Arin has experience with and training rescue dogs as well which was so reassuring. When I came back home Aloo felt calmer and was actually less reactive than she usually is which says a lot about Arin! Would definitely book with her in the future.”

About: I’ve been around dogs for over 12 years, growing up with and helping care for my two dogs. I have plenty of hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playing, and making sure dogs are comfortable, safe, and well cared for. As a college athlete, I’m very active and enjoy getting outside, so I’m happy to handle anything from shorter walks to longer, more energetic walks. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I’ll always treat your dog with the same care and attention I give my own. I am an active Division 1 basketball player at Manhattan University. I have a busy day to day schedule but there are openings in my schedule usually after 2pm. I always make safety my top priority on every walk. I make sure dogs are securely leashed and pay close attention to their surroundings, traffic, other dogs, and anything that could cause a problem. I’ll follow any specific instructions you provide and treat your dog with the same care and attention I give my own dogs.

“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”

About: Hey! My name is Nikki, I am new to rover but I have been dog walking for a few years now. I started my business on the UES/East Harlem but now that I have moved into the neighborhood I am hoping to meet more furry friends and families through here. My schedule is flexible so it allows me to work around your schedule. If something comes up last minute, short notice work trips, or maybe you just need some time for yourself. I completely understand, I got you covered ! Please feel free to reach out to me anytime if you have any questions I allow them to roam as if they were at their own home, I want them to feel comfortable in the space that they are going to be staying at for a few nights or even for the day.I provide updates and pictures while you’re away so that you can feel at ease.

“Alexis took care of my Bernadoodle in August while I was on vacation and I was very happy with his care. He is polite and reliable and he sent photo updates every day. I recommend him to take care of your pet and would rebook him again.”

About: Hi my name is Brandon. I was raised in New York and have owned a few dogs over the years. I have about 12 years of experience walking and sitting for different breeds of dogs including stubborn bulldogs, hyper huskies, large golden retrievers, etc. I'm available all days, mostly afternoons and nights. I'll walk in any weather conditions, whether it's snowing, raining or scorching hot. I will be sure to care for your dog and they are my own because I know how much they mean to you. I can run and play with your dog or I can take it easy. I will make sure to log and report any physical and behavioral changes I observe while on a walk or while pet sitting.

“Natalia was absolutely incredible with our somewhat difficult and very anxious boy!”

About: I provide a home away from home, pet sitting service. I have experience with various animals for over 25 years, which includes dogs, cats, and birds. Dog births, as well as puppy care, Your pets happiness and safety, are my top priorities. I’m currently working a part time schedule. I have plenty of time to provide tender loving care when you’re not there. I treat them as my own, and that comes from a genuine place. I don’t own any pets at this time, and I do not have any small children in the house. All my attention will be on the pet that’s in my care whether care is taking place at my home or clients home.

About: I provide reliable, loving care tailored to each pet's needs. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, basic training reinforcement, and medication administration. My goal is to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. I’m currently a university student looking to earn some extra income while pursuing my studies. Dog walking fits well into my schedule, and I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals. I’m available throughout the week and committed to providing safe, reliable, and attentive care for every dog I walk. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always follow the owner's instructions and maintain the pet's routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. During walks, I prioritize safety by using secure leashes, staying aware of my surroundings, and ensuring pets get appropriate exercise, attention, and care. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect as if they were my own.

About: I bring attentive, knowledgeable care tailored to your specific creature and their specific personality. I've been pet parent to dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes to my current Sheepadoodle — there's no dog size or personality that's too much or too little, IMHO. And my experience extends well beyond dogs — cats, snakes, farm animals 🐐, and more. I also happen to share my home with a ball python named Fettuccine Alfredo 🐍, who is a distinguished, low-drama fellow. As a plant parent, I will watch after yours indoor jungles, outdoor gardens, that one fiddle leaf fig you're nervous about. If you need someone who will actually look at your monstera and not just splash water in its general direction, that's me. (My avocado tree, grown from a pit, is thriving. I'm not taking questions.) Housesitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, basic training — I've got you. And if you're going away and need the whole ecosystem looked after, pets, plants, and all, I'd love to meet you. Pet care fits naturally into the rhythm of my week. My mornings are consistently free, which works well for walks and drop-in visits, and I have flexibility on Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends for longer stays or housesitting. On days when I'm teaching in the afternoons and evenings, I'm still available in the mornings — and I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I'm never stretched too thin across clients. This isn't something I'm squeezing in around a packed schedule — it's something I've made genuine room for. When I'm in your home for drop-in visits or housesitting, I treat it with the same care and attention I'd give my own. That means following your routines exactly as you've set them, keeping things tidy, and making sure your pets are comfortable and unstressed in their own environment. I take detailed notes at meet-and-greets so nothing gets missed while you're away. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and attentive to their individual energy and needs — a reactive dog gets a very different walk than a social butterfly, and I know the difference. I bring over thirty years of animal experience to reading body language and behavior, so I'm not caught off guard by much. My own home includes a ball python and two cats, so I'm well practiced in managing a multi-species household safely and calmly. I don't offer boarding, which means your dog's visit to my home would only ever be for a meet-and-greet in a low-key, relaxed setting. In any situation that feels off — health, behavior, anything — I err on the side of contacting you immediately and getting to a vet if needed. You'll never be left guessing.

“Angelina was a most wonderful dog sitter! She messaged to me daily and some pictures of Cody and Rylee to me multiple times a day so that I could see they were doing fine. When I plan my next vacation, I will be getting in touch with Angelina again.”
