“Keti was wonderful with my cat, I’ve never seen him so friendly with a stranger. He was the happiest I’ve ever seen him after coming back from a trip. She did a great job taking care of him and we couldn’t be happier.”
“Leaving a review again just in case I didn't last time. Very satisfied with Dayanara and her coming in to check up on my cats whenever I need someone to make sure they're okay. Always gives me peace of mind to know she's there to tend to my cats' needs. Thank you!!”
“Jessie is excellent. She's extremely good at communicating, leaving detailed notes, taking lots of photos, letting me know about issues that came up, following the notes I left, and being flexible about making small changes. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away for two weeks. Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of pets from friends and family since I was 10 years old. Overtime, I have developed an ability to make dogs and cats feel at home and welcomed through proper time and attention, the key for anyone and any animal to feel loved. Changing wet pads, showering and bathing pets, running and playing with dogs, and cuddling with animals are second nature to me and I have years of experience doing each. Currently, I am working full time 9am-5pm during the weekdays. Outside of those hours, having the pet come with me on outdoor activities when weather allows and staying inside to lounge around are common. I usually see it as an excuse to keep active during my sedentary office lifestyle. Time in = trust out. Building trust and making your pet feel safe and sound is one of my main priorities. In order for that bond to exist, consistent attention and care is needed. From proper feeding, regular walking, and rigorous playing, pets in my care will return back to you in good spirits.
About: I’ve owned and loved animals all my life, and treat every animal as my own. I’ve known and loved dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have a 3-year old Frenchie at home named Tera, and she is my baby and best friend. I am a student, and taking classes remotely to pursue a career in Nursing. My schedule is generally open until starting a full-time program. I can do mornings, afternoons, and some evenings if necessary. I walk my dog daily and feed her high-quality and healthy meals, and give her lots of attention and love. I would do the same for any animal in my care.
About: With a genuine love for all animals, I've been caring for furry friends for over three years professionally here in the US. Back in Italy, my experience stems from caring for my own dogs, creating a deep understanding of the bond between pets and their owners. My services include feedings, baths, regular walks, and extra attention for senior dogs. Additionally, I have hands-on experience with senior dogs, providing them the extra attention they need, such as assistance with walking and more frequent potty breaks. Your furry friend isn't just another job for me; it's an opportunity to make sure they feel cherished, secure, and content. As I ease back into the workplace, my schedule is open and flexible, allowing ample time to prioritize and care for your pets daily. Your furry friends are a top priority in my routine, receiving not just attention but genuine companionship. Unfortunately, I can't board pets in my home, but I offer dedicated in-home sitting services. I prioritize your pet's well-being by maintaining their familiar routine, creating a safe and comfortable environment. I ensure their needs are met, from feeding and playtime to adhering to any specific requirements. Your pets can enjoy the coziness of their own space while receiving the care, attention, and respect they deserve.
About: I have extensive hands-on experience in dog training, beginning with my first dog, a Jack Russell Terrier. Through agility and obedience training with her, I developed a strong understanding of canine behaviour, communication, and structure. I provide long, structured walks tailored to each dog’s individual energy level, temperament, and needs. At the owner’s request, I also incorporate basic obedience training, behaviour correction, and work on specific challenges such as leash pulling, reactivity, or lack of focus. I am attentive, patient, and consistent in my approach, always prioritising safety, mental stimulation, and the overall well-being of every dog in my care. I'm currently free on weekdays and sometimes on weekends too, early mornings and afternoons fits for me. I'm flexible for changes in my schedule and can adjust it to yours as well The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they are in a clean, secure, and calm environment. After walks, I always wipe or wash their paws, and I can bathe them if needed. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, treats, routines, and any special requirements. If medication is required, I administer it responsibly and exactly as directed. I pay close attention to each pet’s behaviour and comfort level to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times.
“Isis was extremely attentive to any special request and instructions that I had for my dog. She was on time and was a great communicator with great follow-through. A very sweet and kind disposition to her. I would absolutely recommend Isis to anyone looking for a kind and friendly care taker for their pet!”
About: Hi there. My name is Greg. I don't currently own any pets but I am a definite dog lover. Most of my youth is filled with memories of my Collie/German Shep mix named Freckles. She was gentle and loving and the best pal I could have had. We had her for 16 years and I still miss her. If your dog loves attention, and getting the chance to go for a nice walk outside, I'm your guy. I live about 2 miles from Prospect Park and, as a frequent runner, exploring the neighborhood and being outside is what I do most on the weekend. I am definitely happy to be with dogs who enjoy being outside on longer walks as much as I do. As for my current services, I offer dog sitting in your home or my home, as well as dog walking and drop in visits. Please note: for dog boarding, my building doesn't allow dogs larger than 25 lbs or so, however I would watch a dog of any size if house sitting in your home. Also, during the week I am working back in the office, so I could be away from your pup during the workday. I will discuss with you in advance timing to ensure your dogs's needs as you advise them are completely met. At nights and weekends, your dog wouldn't be alone for any more than just a few hours. Lastly, I am free to talk about any questions or concerns you may have. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your dog! For my schedule: I am currently working remote so your dog would get a lot of daily attention. Morning walks before work, walks around lunch and dinner time are not a problem. Weekends are chill and would be more of the same environment, I may occasionally need to go into the office in the city - but that would be discussed with you in advance . As for my home, I live in a doorman building at the end of a dead end street. My home will always be secured. If staying in your home, your dog would always be in a secure area as well.
About: I've always had animals growing up and I loved taking care of them. I have 10 years of experience taking care of my own pets.

I am able to provide a slew of services, or pet related responsibilities that come with loving your pet, and am more than open to hearing your concerns. As pets are often a part of the family, allergies, medicines, and specialized routines are all very important to me.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rockaway Park
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Our dogs have never been cared for by anyone other than family, so leaving them with someone new was a HUGE step for us. From the very beginning, Stephanie and Brian made us feel completely comfortable and reassured that our dogs were in great hands. They were incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely caring toward our dogs. It was obvious that our dogs were so comfortable with them right away! Their communication gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Before having Stephanie and Brian watch our dogs for a week, we did two 30-minute walks together so they could get to know the dogs their routine and personalities, etc. Stephanie and Brian picked up on the dogs’ routines, and needs so quickly, which immediately made me feel like our dogs were in great hands! We are SO grateful we found Stephanie and Brian! They are trustworthy, reliable, compassionate, and SO great with our dogs. We will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future!
