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!
“Denisse was amazing with my pups! I have 3 dogs so they kept her busy but she handled it like a pro. My mind was put at ease knowing such a trustworthy person was taking care of my pups and home while I was out of town. The dogs got plenty of love and cuddles while I was away. Communication was frequent and loved getting pictures of my dogs comfortable in their surroundings like I never even left. Denisse was sweet and watered my plants for me and grabbed my mail. I will absolutely book her again and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Pete went above and beyond! Incredible job as far as attention to detail and instructions. Very nice guy who kept us completely in the loop the entire time we were gone. Pete is easily the best dogsitter we’ve ever had and our dogs can’t wait to have him back. Whatever is above a perfect rating is what we’d rate him.”
About: I have 5 years of experience dog walking. I have been dog sitting on and off for the past few years. I have a dog of my own that I have had for 3 years. I treat your dog as if he or she was my own dog. I am very responsive while I watch the dog. I enjoy sending lots of pictures and updates to the owner. I used to have a dog named Princess who was alive for 13 years. She enjoyed snuggles a lot! I also had a dog named Harley. She belongs to my dad now. I've had my Benji Boy for 3 years now. I used to take care of Harley when my father went away on vacation. I made sure I fed her, walked her and gave her lots of attention. I also gave her treats if she was being a good listener. I feed Benji two times a day, I add water to his bowl about 4 times a day, I take him out in the backyard every 4 hours, I walk him early in the morning before I go to my day job. Benji is very friendly and loves being social with other dogs! I will make sure your dog is given lots of attention and love. I have open availability right now until I find a full time job. Please send a message to ask if I will be available during a specific holiday. I can walk your dog in the afternoon and make sure they are fed and have water in their bowls. I go to client's homes because I feel the dog will be more comfortable being in their own environment. Usually the dog is very comfortable being in their own home and is able to get comfortable with me. If there are any rules in the house, I follow them. I make sure to keep the common areas clean if I end up staying over someone's home.
“We used Stephanie to care for our two Cane Corso's while we were away for a week out of the country. She was excellent! She confirmed a week before as well as the day before, arrived early and gave us daily updates with great feedback and cute photos. Our dogs can be intimidating to new people but Stephanie felt right at home with them and they loved her. We arrived home to calm, happy dogs and a spotless house. She even had a little doggie gift for our pups! We are so happy to have found such an amazing caregiver for our pups. We will absolutely be booking her again.”
“I highly recommend CeeCee for your pet and home sitting needs. We hired her to look after our overly affectionate cat and our quirky pit-mix pup while out of town for 6 days. CeeCee was communicative, sent pictures, and took care of needs as requested, including watering plants. She kept the house tidy, even throwing in a load of wash at the end of her stay. We will definitely be repeat customers for future pet sitting needs.”
“Lili was awesome to work with and was an excellent sitter for our pup over 9 days! This was our first time using a sitter for an extended time so I had a bit of nervousness, but he was in the best hands! She was very responsive and provided regular updates, was timely, took great care of him with walks, dropping/picking up at daycare to maintain his regular schedule, cuddles, playtime and he even visited her home as well. And bonus, our apt was spotless upon return. Would absolutely hire Lili again and I know our pup will miss her.”
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.
“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 have been taking care of my dog for about 7 years now, I have been feeding him and playing with him, I love them. I work a part time job so in my free time I like walking dogs and seeing other dogs and everything they have to give. I have a fence so he can play when he wants on the deck or if he wants a walk. If they misbehave I can crate them so they can learn.
About: I provide consistent reliable care; adhering to feeding schedules, outside/indoor activities, spending quality time, and administering any required medications. I also provide ample cuddle time! I’m pretty flexible with my daily and weekly routine. I have an open schedule, which allows me the time and flexibility to meet your pets’ needs. I love spending quality time with pets - providing affection (if your pet consents), mental stimulation through activities or toys, and overall providing a comfortable place for your pet.
“Ellie did a fantastic job caring for our dog while we were out for the evening. She sent updates on how he was doing throughout the night to keep our minds at ease, and she was extremely understanding and patient when he had an accident before we left. We highly recommend Ellie to anyone looking for a pet sitter in the area!”
About: I’m a recent college graduate with degrees in Education and History, and I’ll be starting my career as a teacher this September. For the I’m looking for meaningful summer work—and what could be better than spending time with animals! I’ve been caring for both my own pets and others’ for over 8 years, and I bring the same level of responsibility and attention to detail to pet sitting as I do to the classroom. I’m punctual, dependable, and full of energy—whether your pet needs long walks, playtime at the park, or just some extra love and attention, I’m happy to provide it. I’m also experienced with a wide range of pet needs, including puppies. I am available Monday - Thursday (after 2:30) as well as Fridays and weekends (any time)! I begin teaching high school in September and availability will differ. In my own home, I spoil my little babies 🥰 I feed my cats dry food twice a day, stock their water fountain with water, keep the dry food stocked, and clean their litter boxes. I give them outside time as long as they stay close or just have the back screen door open to let them see, smell, and hear the nature. Occasionally, I will take them in walks in the kitty stroller with the dog on the leash. When taking care of other people’s cats, I treat them with the same love I would my own. I am happy to care for them in all the same ways, including spending time with them, not just running in and out to feed and clean. I also usually provide photo updates. I take care of my dog by feeding him dry food, letting him out every three hours, taking him on walks as often as possible, giving him snuggles, playing fetch, giving treats, etc. so pretty much treat my dog like a king. I am happy to do the same for you!
About: Lifelong animal lover with experience from pups, kittens to senior dogs and even more recently deaf pets. Was raised with cats, dogs, and even reptiles. Pet care fits naturally into my life. Recently lost my 13yr old senior frenchie. I do work full-time weekdays but am available for evening feedings, walks, and weekend care. My 12 yr old son may be with me many times as this is also his passion. Whether in my home or yours, your pet’s comfort and safety come first. In my home, while space is modest, I offer a clean, cozy environment with a secure fenced-in yard for play and potty breaks. I'm attentive and patient. I also have a 12 yr old son who can keep your pet active if needed. My son actively entertained our frenchie and provided those extra special hugs. There will always be room for love and play. In your home, I follow your pet's routine closely to keep them calm and happy while you're away.
About: I have always been the main pet care giver and companion to all of our family’s animals! I have been a pet sitter for 20 years and hope to do it well into retirement! I have and give the most respect for animals and pet owners. I have learned so much about dogs and their views on life through reading, researching and dog sitting/walking! My experience with so many breads has educated me and encouraged me to keep loving these beneficial animals! My current dog walking/sitting job is with a 4 year old Black French Bulldog who had my heart at 4 weeks old! My communications with my clients and their dogs is an honest and loving trade off! I have also worked at a doggy daycare in Westchester .
About: I had an Akita for almost 10 years and have had many dogs in the past. I took her on long walks and gave her baths and fed her. I would also have to give her medicine occasionally when prescribed. She was the best dog I could’ve ever asked for. I am currently working part time but I am available most of the week during the day. I would love to fill my mornings with activities. If instructions are provided I will do what is required of me. I have a huge fenced in backyard if boarding is required at home.
About: Although I do not have much professional pet sitting experience, i really have a soft spot for caring for animals.

“Chenelle was very good with our dog and would send us videos and pictures throughout the day, so we were constantly updated. We would use her again!”
Yazmine A.
“Yazmine has been an absolute blessing as a dog walker for my furry family member. From the very first meeting, it was clear that she genuinely loves and understands animals. My dog, who is usually shy around new people, instantly warmed up to her, and that alone spoke volumes about Yazmine's gentle and caring nature. She is always punctual, reliable, and communicative, keeping me updated with photos and notes about their adventures together. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is in such loving and capable hands. Yazmine goes above and beyond, ensuring my pup not only gets a good walk but also plenty of playtime, attention, and care. Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine connection with animals make her one of a kind. I can’t recommend Yazmine enough to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family!”

Kristy R.
“Kristy is a responsible and reliable person. I hired her to take care of my two dogs because I work long hours. Kristy would go to my house and walk my dogs as many times as I needed. She would walk them for me when I worked my 12 hour shifts and would feed them and change their water. I had one Wheaton terrier mix and a boxer mix. My dogs loved her immediately, so I knew she was the right choice. Kristy would call me afterwards and let me know how they were doing and would even stay with them to play and keep them company for a little if I needed her to. She is a great person and I was happy to have her for the 3 years I had my dogs. Unfortunately, we could no longer keep our dogs, but Kristy worked for me until the very last day that I had our dogs. I hope you consider her to take care of your pups !”

Theodore G.
“As Teddy's father, I've had the privilege of watching him grow into an incredibly kind, responsible, and thoughtful young man—especially when it comes to animals. From a very early age, he showed a deep empathy for pets and a natural ability to connect with them. When our neighbors went on vacation, Teddy stepped in without hesitation, making sure their dogs were not just cared for, but loved and given plenty of attention and playtime. He approaches every task with maturity and a big heart. Whether he’s out walking dogs in the neighborhood or simply sitting with a nervous pup to keep them company, he brings calm, warmth, and a strong sense of responsibility. I’d trust him with any pet, any time. He’d be an incredible asset to the Rover community.”
Sadyn A.
“Sadyn has been my dog sitter/walker for the past 5 years. My Yorkie, Wizard and my Cockapoo Ozzy are always over the moon to see her. She she has been nothing but professional, keen to detail and super loving to both of my dogs.

She is excellent at communicating if anything is ever not up to my required standards for my babies. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting services!”

Joeyann M.
“I’m writing this letter as a proud mother to share just deeply my daughter, JoeyAnn Morales connects with animals and why I believe she would be a wonderful pet sitter or walker through Rover. From the time she was a little girl, She has shown an extraordinary love and compassion for animals. She didn’t just grow up around pets—she truly lived alongside them. Our home has always been filled with a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, birds, ducks, reptiles, ferrets, and even the occasional rescue. No matter the species, She treated each one like family, often referring to them as her “babies.” Her nurturing nature was always clear, she would feed them, clean up after them, and do everything to make sure they were happy and healthy. Her passion for animals wasn’t just a phase and animals seem to be drawn to her calm, gentle presence. She has an instinct for reading their needs and responding with kindness and patience. I know she will treat every pet she cares for through Rover with the same love and attention she has always given to our own. She’s dependable, respectful, and someone I would trust with any animal, big or small. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like more insight—I’d be happy to share more about her experience and character.”
Rachel P.
“Rachel has been walking our 4-year old french bulldog Lila for over four years now. She's been with us since Lila was a baby and is truly like her second mom. She is very careful, and I feel comfortable that Lila is safe and well cared for. I also know that she's having a great time, as Rachel goes out of her way to set up play dates with other pups, take Lila on trail walks or to the park, and to visit her friends. Rachel is very reliable and trustworthy, and is the only person my husband and I trust with keys to our home. She is always happy to help if we need extra walks or if we're running late and need someone to give Lila dinner. We feel incredibly lucky to have found someone who takes such good care of our pup, and who we can depend on to take care of her when we can't.”
Katelind R.
“Katelind is very responsible very loving caring. She loves animals specially dogs she had her own dog and then for nine or 10 years and then her dog went to heaven She loves my dog. I have a Roddy he hates when she leaves she takes him on walks. She sleeps with him in the bed and cuddles with him when we’re gone.
