Mond was great with our shiba and very shy orange cat. He was very thorough and communicative throughout the process. Thank you for taking such good care of our little boys!

Elizabeth helped to care for my 2 cats while I was away for almost 4 weeks. Elizabeth was responsible and spent a lot of time with my cats. One of my cats is very skittish but he warmed up to Elizabeth quickly. She followed my instructions and kept me updated on each of her visits. I came home knowingly cats were taken care of and they enjoyed her visit. She did a great job for me!

About: Hello! My name is Julissa. I have so much love for all pets and animals. Growing up, i’ve always had a dog in the house, and they were always such an important member of our family. It’s been about five years since I’ve had a dog of my own. My last dog’s name was Sasha. We adopted her when she was six and had her until she was about thirteen. She was so smart, loving, and anxious when we first got her so our first few years together were spent establishing trust. Eventually we managed to off-leash train and we worked a lot on her recall so that we could enjoy longer walks and outdoor activities while ensuring that she always felt safe in her environment. At home we set her bed up in the kitchen, where we would pass our time cooking and spending a lot of quality time together. I had so many good years with my Sasha, and since she passed I have genuinely missed spending time with animals on a consistent basis. Since then, most if not all of my friends and family have entrusted me with taking care of their animals when they are busy or traveling, so I’ve had a lot of experience with many different pets and their varying needs/personalities. I work freelance as an artist. I am a musician, so I often stay at home practicing or composing. However most of my work is in the film industry, and this work ranges from smaller independent projects to network television. Although I do work on set sometimes, I try to take on as many post-production gigs as possible, so I often find myself sitting behind a desk all day. I have always made it a priority to work in a field that I am passionate about, and my decision to work with Rover has been no different. Caring for animals is not only something I am passionate about, but also a wonderful opportunity to go on walks and spend quality time with pets. I will always be very clear about any changes in my work schedule if those are to arise, but my reliability and dedication never wavers I have a fenced in yard and plenty of spaces in the house for your pet to wander and feel comfortable. I am also very trust worthy, organized, communicative, and extremely eager to work with you!

This was the first time that Michelle dropped in on Cuddles. She gave her food, water and a clean litter box. Cuddles is not a friendly cat and seems very happy that Michelle was there to provide for her. I would definitely ask Michelle to care for Cuddles again.

About: Hi there! I’m Kelly an animal lover based in Little Neck, NY, with a flexible afternoon schedule and a passion for caring for pets like they’re family. Whether you’re looking for a dependable dog walker, a quick drop-in visit, or overnight boarding in a safe, pet-friendly home — I’ve got you covered! I’ve grown up around dogs and cats, and I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I make sure every dog gets the care and attention they need — whether it’s an energetic walk, a belly rub, or just someone to keep them company. 🔹 Services I Offer: – Dog Walking (available weekdays after 3 PM) – Drop-in Visits for feeding, potty breaks, and play available after 3pm and most weekends! – Occasional Boarding (your pet stays at my home) My home is safe and pet-friendly, and I only board one pet at a time to make sure your dog feels relaxed and at home. I know every pet is unique, so I’ll always follow your instructions closely and send regular updates and photos so you feel connected even while you’re away if this would be helpful! Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet so your pup can get to know me! 🐾 I currently have a full time job but am out of work by 3pm which leaves me plenty of time to take care of pups in the evenings! I also have availability over most weekends! ⸻ I provide a safe, loving home with lots of playtime and walks! I follow all care instructions closely and treat every pet like part of the family. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities!

I work with kids during the day, but I am available to take care of dogs from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm on weekdays. I can also help for date nights or while you are traveling.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, treating each one like my own. From playful pups to senior snuggle bugs, I want your pets to feel safe, loved, and happy. I am a speech therapist at a skilled nursing facility who works close to home. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to give your pet and mine plenty of attention and care. Plus, a loving family member is always home for extra company! I create a calm, loving environment with lots of play, cuddles, and routine. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your pet’s schedule to keep them happy and comfortable. Available for meet and greet by Mary Jane Davies park prior to pet boarding. As a personal preference, we don’t do meet & greets in the home and don’t take more than one dog (unless it’s from the same family, 2 max). Big on sending updates and pictures.

Judy has helped me countless times with Tiger. She is thoughtful and caring, and took great care of Tiger. This time I’m gone longer so I asked Judy if she could take Tiger out for a walk. She has no problem with it and took pictures when they were out. Tiger is happy and I’m thankful for Judy’s great work!

About: I love animals and have been taking care of them since I was a child. Being around animals and loving them is second nature for me. I’m currently working from home, so I’m able to mesh with pretty much anyone’s schedule or needs. I’m available weekdays, weekends, day and night time. I’d strictly follow any and all instructions or schedule that is given to me in reference of the service. Besides that, I’d make sure the animal is well loved and in good health.

Brigette took amazing care of Boo. She went above and beyond to let me know how he was doing, the status of his food / wellbeing each visit and sent lots of adorable photos. She was quick to respond to my messages & questions, leaving no room for worry while I was away. I felt very at ease knowing Boo was in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again when I decide to take another trip. 10/10 experience, thank you Brigette!!!
