About: New to Rover? Use code BIANCB29046 for $20 off your first booking. Hi, I’m Bianca—a lifelong dog lover serving Riverdale, Kingsbridge, Spuyten Duyvil, Yonkers, and Southern Westchester! I run a small, intimate boutique doggy daycare and boarding service, ensuring your pup gets plenty of personalized attention in a safe and stress-free environment. Unlike large, overcrowded facilities, I keep things cozy so your furry baby can socialize, play, and relax just like they would at home. I also offer dog walking in Riverdale and Kingsbridge. About Me: 🐾 Born & raised in Riverdale – your local dog-loving neighbor! 🎓 Columbia grad & triathlete – active and attentive, so your pup gets plenty of love and care. 🐕 Experienced dog mom – I know how important safety and trust are (especially for pups who love to snack on random things!). 💼 Laid off 6 months ago – growing my small business while job hunting, so your support means the world to me! I know firsthand how stressful it can be to find someone trustworthy to care for your dog while you’re at work, traveling, or on vacation. That’s why I provide frequent updates, photos, and a meet-and-greet beforehand, so you feel at ease knowing your pup is in good hands. Let’s give your dog a fun, safe, and loving experience while you enjoy peace of mind. Message me to set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to welcome your pup into my home! 🐕💛 ——————————- Standard Daycare: Standard daycare covers up to 10 hours between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM (8 am if you drop off, 9-10 am if I pick up from home) Extended Care: Drop-offs before 8:00 AM or pick-ups after 7:00 PM are welcome when my schedule allows and will incur an additional $10 per hour (or portion thereof). Overnight Care: Any pick-up scheduled after 8:00 PM will automatically be converted to my standard boarding rate, as it requires overnight care and accommodations. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, especially since I'm currently working from home and applying to jobs, giving me plenty of time to focus on providing personalized care and attention to your dog alongside mine. I’m available 7 days a week with advance notice, ensuring flexibility and dedicated support for your pet’s needs. I have a dog-friendly home, as I own a pup myself, so everything is set up for safety and comfort. My dog is the friendliest cuddle bug, gentle and playful—perfect company for your dog. I also have a crate available if crating is preferred for sleeping or when I'm away, ensuring your pet's routine is maintained while they're with me. I also will take many pictures of your dog daily and send them to you :) My home is a calm and dog friendly environment designed to help dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Occasional barking, especially during play or adjustment periods, is completely normal and expected. However, dogs with excessive reactive barking toward people, dogs, noises, or movement may not be the best fit for my home environment. My home is a fully potty-trained household, so I ask that all dogs staying with me be fully house-trained as well. I completely understand that occasional accidents can happen, especially during the initial adjustment period in a new environment. However, repeated indoor accidents or marking behavior are not a good fit for my home environment and may result in an additional cleaning fee if extensive cleaning is required.

About: My name is Jacob and I love dogs! I’ve been walking them and training them since I was seven-years-old. I have experience with dogs both big and small as well as breeds such as pit-bulls, mastiffs, and labradors. I’m comfortable with any type of dog. As for my previous experience, I used to walk dogs in my neighborhood in New York City where I grew up. I also love cats! I have a nice fluff-ball named Deebo. I love the little guys! I have references and will provide them upon request. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work night shifts starting at 10:30pm (starting on May 18th) but I’ll be available during the day and evening. Mornings are best, but I’m flexible. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and will cherish your pet. I take pride in my work and will ensure that it will seem like I was never there.

About: Dear Pet Parents, I absolutely love animals — especially dogs! From tiny Pomeranians to giant Great Danes, I adore the kisses, cuddles, and happy tail wags. I share my home with several dogs of different breeds and personalities, as well as two cats, so I’m very experienced in managing different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. Because of this, I understand how important structure, supervision, and safety are when caring for pets. As a proud dog owner myself, I truly know that pets are not “just animals” — they are family. I will treat your fur baby like one of my own. Your pet will be loved, spoiled, and cared for in a safe, structured environment. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone. I promise to earn that trust. I provide regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away. Please feel free to message me with any specific instructions, routines, or special needs your pup (or kitty!) may have — I’m always happy to accommodate. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby! 😊 Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I care for multiple dogs and two cats of my own. My day is structured around feeding schedules, potty breaks, enrichment time, and supervised play. Because of this, adding your pet into my routine is seamless and intentional. I prioritize consistency, supervision, and maintaining your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible to reduce stress. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks, and I provide frequent updates so you always feel connected while you’re away. Safety is my top priority. I have experience managing a multi-pet household with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Pets are always supervised, especially during introductions and playtime. I can separate animals if needed and am comfortable crating when requested for rest or safety. I follow feeding instructions carefully and keep environments clean and structured. I pay close attention to body language to ensure all pets are comfortable and stress-free. Your pet will be treated like family while in my care.

About: I’ve had my two cats for about three years now, and we’ve built a routine together around feeding, playing, sleeping, and everything in between. Every day when I walk through the door, they’re the first two to greet me. I make sure they’re always fed, clean, hydrated, well cared for, and most importantly, safe. I work full time during the week, so I’m generally unavailable during the day, but I’m usually free in the evenings after work and have full availability on weekends. I live in a two-bedroom, ground-floor apartment with a private, enclosed patio where my cats can safely explore outdoors without the risk of escaping. We also have an extra bedroom set up so they have their own space and time when they want it.

About: Hello there everyone! My name is Barri, and I am very excited to be offering my sitting services to the community! I am looking forward to meeting all of your furry companions.

I really love spent my time with them. In the morning I have a job but I’ve arrived always early to my home. I always take care to them. Hours to eat, hours to play, to go to walk, most importantly make feel the dog comfortable and also the costumer. I am currently not working but have a few errand along the day. In the morning as soon as I wake up I would take care of the cleaning pet area, feeding and walking if needed. I would repeat the process in the afternoon.

About: Hello! My name is Iraya Catalina and I can't wait to have the lovely experience of meeting you and your pet! I am a performer with a love for animals, looking to make a little bit of extra income being new to the city! In terms of sitting and care experience, not only have a had animals since I was a child, I have had to house and animal sit for many members of my family and even friends, and always have a blast doing so. I am ready to provide for your pup, or cat in any way possible! I can take animals for walks or runs, take them to the many parks in the area, or just cuddle up and watch a movie with them if that’s what they prefer!! Also, because I think it is important to note how every dog is different, I have a lot of experience with skittish and anxious pups. My first two dogs when I was a child were both abused pound puppies, and I grew up with them and learned how to bring a dog out of their shell and make them feel safe and loved. I want nothing more than to replicate that with any animal that comes into my care. I would love to know, before caring for the animal, about anything that always makes them growl or make them anxious. I want your animal just as happy as before they are entrusted to my care, happier if possible! Your animal is your family and I want nothing more for its, and your, comfort and joy. Can't wait to welcome your dog into my life! I currently work a few jobs, but my mornings are usually empty. I can do late night walks too if necessary, but I’m usually busy working 4 pm - 12 am Wednesday thru Sunday. I will be attentive to your pet and make sure they have their needs covered by me! I love it the most when dogs are vocal with their needs, but I am patient and intuitive when it comes to what your pet might need in the moment.

“Elisa did a great job. She was very respectful of our home and our pets. It is very evident that she cares about animals. We will absolutely use her anytime we are in need of a pet sitter. Thank you.”
