“Karina was an incredible savior during the MLK long weekend as our schedules were made at the last minute. She was very flexible with timings and incredibly quick to respond on the app. I would definitely love to have her sit my cat next time.”
“I have asked Michelle to pet sit my kitty, Nugget, on multiple occasions and she will continue to be the first person I reach out to. Michelle is very communicative, always making sure i am receiving pictures of my sweet girl. I know that when Michelle watches her, that she will be fed, have a clean litter box and will receive all the love. I think the biggest indicator that Michelle is great with my cat, is that Nugget absolutely loves her. It’s so wonderful having a pet sitter that I can trust. Thank you Michelle!”
“Jenifer looked after my cat for two days and nailed every detail. She followed the care notes, sent prompt updates, and still made time for extra play and treats. I came home to a calm, happy cat, exactly what you want from a sitter.”
“Melissa took great care of my shy cat and was even able to gain her trust and interact with her with petting and hand feeding ! i returned to a clean apartment and confident happy cat!”
“Channing was great with our two shy kitties. She went over and above what we asked her to help out with and left our house cleaner than when we left! I would definitely use Channing again.”
About: I am always a pet friendly person, many pets like me even when we first meet! Sometimes don’t even need a treat to attract them. Since I have my baby cat at home, I’m already used to daily feedings, litter box cleaning, and spending quality time with animals. Taking care of my baby is second nature to me and easily fits into my regular schedule. During drop-in visits, I can help with all the essentials to keep your cat happy and healthy — cleaning food and water bowls, refilling food and fresh water as needed, and scooping the litter box regularly. If your cat requires medication, I’m also comfortable administering it with clear instructions. I’ll make sure everything stays clean, cozy, and stress-free for your furry friend!
“While I was away for the weekend, my sister-in-law unexpectedly was no longer able to care for my dog. I reached out to Mamu, and thankfully, they were available to drop in on short notice. Later, another emergency came up where we missed our connecting flight and couldn’t make it home for an extra day. I contacted Mamu again, and once more, they came through and were able to stop by and care for my dog with very short notice. I’m incredibly grateful for their flexibility and reliability, especially under these stressful situations.”
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I know every pup has their own personality – whether they're a playful ball of energy or a cozy couch companion. I'll care for your dog like they're my own, with all the belly rubs, fun walks, and patient attention they deserve. Having my own dog has taught me the little things that matter most – sticking to their routine, knowing their favorite scratch spots, and understanding when they need extra comfort. You'll get regular updates with photos so you can see how much fun we're having while you're away! My schedule is very flexible! Since I work from home Monday and Friday, I'm available throughout the day for walks and playtime. Weekends are completely open for pet care too. Your dog would get: • Morning, afternoon, and evening potty breaks/walks • Lunchtime play sessions (perfect for breaking up my workday!) • Plenty of attention between my meetings • Weekend adventures at the park I can easily adjust to your dog's normal routine - just let me know their preferred schedule!" I provide loving, active care for your dog every day! I'll take them on regular walks (we have a great park right next to my townhouse - my own dog goes there daily for playtime and adventures), give them plenty of play sessions, gentle brushing, and even teeth brushing if needed. Your pup will get loads of attention and affection - While I live in a townhouse, we have safe indoor space and immediate access to outdoor fun. My own dog is happy, well-exercised and socialized, and yours will be too!
About: Hi! I’m Davi C., a lifelong dog lover with a background in brand communication and a heart for thoughtful, reliable care. After years working in a high-paced corporate setting, I chose to slow down and spend my days doing something more meaningful — building bonds with dogs, and supporting the families who love them. 🐾 Why do clients choose me? • Over 15 years of hands-on dog care • Calm, mature, and highly responsible • Fluent in English & Mandarin — I work with many multicultural families • Based steps from Central Park — your pup’s walk begins in nature • Clear, consistent communication with photo updates every time Every dog I meet is different — some are confident explorers, some are shy observers, and some just want a peaceful stroll with someone who “gets them.” My job is to tune in, adjust, and make each walk feel safe, fun, and stress-free. These days, I’m also exploring new projects in the animal wellness space — learning from every wag, every sniff, and every moment of quiet companionship. If you’re looking for someone mature, reliable, and genuinely invested in your dog’s well-being, let’s schedule a meet-and-greet. I’d love to get to know your pup — and be part of their happy routine. I live just steps from Central Park and walk daily rain or shine — now with room in my schedule to bring a few lucky pups along. I’m generally available on weekdays (especially mornings and early afternoons while my child is at school) and weekends. Each walk is more than just exercise — it’s a calm, enriching break tailored to your dog’s pace and personality. I walk dogs one-on-one or in small, compatible groups to ensure safety and reduce stress. I use secure, double-clip leashes and always pay attention to your dog’s body language, energy level, and preferred pace. My calm, confident presence helps dogs feel relaxed — whether they’re active explorers or shy observers. For cat households, I offer gentle, respectful care during drop-in visits upon request. I understand that cats thrive on routine and quiet space. Whether they prefer playtime or peaceful observation from afar, I go at their pace — never forcing interaction, always making them feel safe. You’ll always receive photo updates and thoughtful notes after each visit, because I care for your pets as if they were my own.
About: I have grown up with at least two dogs in my home as a child and other pets such as cats, birds, chicken, cows. I am very patient with pets and familiar with clicker training. Last 10 years I have had 2 dogs, fish, 3 birds and 1 cat as pets =) I have a hybrid job during the week and fully free on weekends. Flexible to meet your needs related to caring for your pet! Feel free to ask about any time period and I can work with you to adjust my schedule to ensure your pet gets the best care. I can care for pets only at clients home as my current place does not allow pets to stay overnight. Comfortable with home care/pet sitting (dog, cat, bird, fish etc.).
“Can’t thank Gabriela enough for staying with my cat Luci for the weekend. This is the first time I ever had to be away from my cat Luci for more than a few hours. I had to make a last minute plan, and reached out to cat sitters around my area via Rover. Gabriela was quick to reach out and scheduled a meet and greet. She understood the feeding instructions and other details about my cat’s routine and assured me of proper care. Throughout the duration of my trip, Gabriela was very responsive and provided me with constant updates and pictures of Luci. When o reached home, Gabriela had left the house tidy and clean, but the best part was that my cat was content and I felt like I never left the house. Would highly recommend Gabriela for her great communication and pet care.”
About: I work at an animal hospital where I’ve gained hands on experience in animal care including monitoring post surgical patients and understanding pet behavior. I also have access to a group chat with licensed veterinary technicians and doctors, so I can get expert advice quickly if needed. I’m also a German Shepherd owner, so I am very familiar with the needs of a large, energetic dog. Pet care of a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. As an employee at an animal hospital, I spend my weekdays caring for animals and monitoring their health. In my home town, I’m used to managing a consistent pet care schedule and understand how important routine is for an animal’s health and happiness whether it’s potty breaks, midday medicine, or evening medicine.
“Carissa took fantastic care of Emmy! She was extremely thorough in her updates and provided a bunch of wonderful photographs of both Emmy and her activities. We returned from our trip to a happy cat. Highly recommend Carissa for your pet care needs!”
“Robyn was an awesome companion for Missy while I was gone for 3 days. They both took to each other very well and I was feeling very confident with Robyn taking care of my little girl. I will definitely use Robyn again!”
“Loryne was AMAZING!! We had a last minute booking and not only was she super timely in responding, she was actually quite perfect for the job. She looked in on our two cats, one of whom has a medical condition and requires daily medications. Not only did Loryne take care of the ‘basics’, and manage the medication challenge, she added a lot of extra love and special care here. The cats were so happy and peaceful when we arrived home…it was obvious they enjoyed playing and hanging with Loryne! I don’t think they missed us a bit! :-) We felt entirely at peace too while away… Loryne’s Visit Summaries of what went on at the house and her photos of the cats being goofy really helped us know all was well. I highly recommend booking with Loryne… your babies will be in great hands!”
“Gary watched my cat, Graham, for over a month! He sent me photos and videos every other day or so and kept me updated. I felt easily relaxed knowing that Graham was in good hands. He was happy and healthy spending time with Gary. Thank you so much!”

Yingying W.
“She really knows her stuff. She’s been working with dogs for at least 8+ years, and you can tell right away she’s super experienced. When my puppy was terrified of cars at 4 months old, she literally sat with us by the road for 30 minutes to help him get over it—and it worked. No drama, no pressure, just calm, smart training. After that, my dog was totally fine with traffic. That moment sold me—she’s not just good with dogs, she’s 'really' good at helping them grow.”
Damian M.
“Great communication. Great with pets. Would book again!”
Davi C.
“I’ve seen my sister care for animals since we were little — we grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, fish, and even a parrot that literally flew to her one day and never left. She’s always had a calm, warm energy that animals gravitate toward. She’s helped our relatives look after their dogs, and she never misses a chance to greet or play with pups at the park. I’m not surprised she’s doing this — it’s really what she loves.”
Don G.
“Don is excellent with my dog. He is clearly a good person, responsible, and who cares about animals and loves dogs. My dog loves being around him and I feel fully confident with Don watching and walking him. I reccomend him without hesitation.”
