About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and understand the care each one (puppy-senior) requires. Many friends, family, and coworkers have trusted me to care for their fur babies - walks, feedings, drop-ins, etc. They have all become family to me! 🧡 That being said, I’d love to be apart of your pet’s daily care! I am currently available after 5pm Monday-Thursday, after 3:30pm on Friday and between 8:30am- late evening on Saturday and Sunday. I am very flexible overall! I have experience teaching basic dog training commands - sit, lay down, roll over, paw, etc. I can walk (3) dogs at a time. Long walks and play are essential for their well-being and health. Happy to take them to dog parks too!
“Kayla took care of our kitties for a week, including our senior kitty who has 2 prescriptions. Her great photos each day were very comforting...and cute! She also kept our tomato plants going. She took care to follow our many directions. Highly recommend.”
About: I grew up around animals, from birds and hermit crabs to cats and dogs, my household has always been filled with pets. I have also fostered medically fragile dogs and volunteered at the Westchester Humane Society. I am passionate about ensuring all animals receive the best possible care and I will give your pet the same love I give my own. I currently work part time and I’m a full time grad student, but I have my own transportation so my schedule is open and flexible. I will schedule a meet and greet with you and your pet to learn all about their unique quirks, likes, dislikes, and routines prior to beginning services with them. I ensure a safe environment by using non-retractable leashes on walks and will send you updates while I am with your pet. Your pet's safety is my top priority.
About: I've loved and cared for 11 family dogs and countless friends' dogs and cats since I was 12. I have a deep respect for animals and am very attentive to their signals and communication. I will absolutely adhere to your routines and ensure your pet is comfortable in my home and with me first and foremost. For me, pets are family, and I treat your babies as I would my own! My day always starts with coffee and my dogs. Your dog will receive 3 walks per day, minimum, and will be free to roam the lower level of my home, where I work from my home office. My dogs have their space upstairs in our main house, and my guests downstairs with me. This ensures I can attend to my boarders' needs immediately and help them get acclimated to a new environment with new smells. I have direct access to my backyard from my downstairs space and will keep your dog safely leashed when outside.
About: I worked at a pet store for 2 years where I took care of all kinds of different animals (birds, ferrets, reptiles, bunnies, etc.). I worked at a doggy daycare for a year and I have also been dog sitting and boarding for the past 2 years. I also have lived with dogs my whole life. I’m currently in college commuting only one day a week on Wednesdays until may 7th, so I am unavailable to do walks or pick up after 2 I care for pets in the way that the owner tells me works best for their pets. I don’t deviate from their schedule and care.
“Hayley was absolutely fantastic with my dogs! From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves animals and knows how to care for them. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy and clearly adored her. I highly recommend her and will book with her again!”
About: I have four dogs that are the light of my life. I also have several years experience caring and sitting for others pets as well. Cat person turned dog lover, though I still have the heart for all pets. I am currently in a remote graduate program, and looking to fill the extra time I have with helping others and caring for others pets. I am very respectful of the home of others and the individual needs and routines of their pets. I cannot board animals in my own home as we are at full capacity with our own dogs, but I am extremely flexible with others set ups.
“Adrian dropped in for visits with our cat, Rusty, for one week. Rusty is a very fearful cat but seemed to feel comfortable to come for his meals with Adrian there. We loved receiving all the photos of our little guy and notes about how the visits had gone. Thanks for a good experience.”
“I reached out just a few days before we needed a drop in and not only did she quickly respond that she was available, she came the same day to meet the boys so that we would be comfortable. She communicated ahead of the visit to check in, sent awesome pictures with the dogs and took care of everything exactly how I specified. Our dogs have to stay separated right now and I was very anxious about that being managed in our tiny home but I did not need to be! We will definitely be hiring her again. Only downside is that she doesn’t do overnights!”
About: I want to care for pets the same way I had to care for my senior dog. In which I will always feed them, care for them and be there for them when they need me. I am currently on leave of absence from my job and I am unsure when I will be getting more hours but for the next month I am free. I always made sure that my two dogs would not run outside to play unless it was safe and to keep them within twelve yards of my property while keeping a close eye on them and if they were to go far I would always make sure to use a leash.
“I cannot recommend Victoria enough! She was so wonderful with my cat. My cat is usually very shy around people she doesn't know so I was shocked to see pictures that Victoria sent me of her petting my cat or sitting with her! She clearly has the magic touch. She also dealt with her own emergency one day and still found a way to do a check in. I am so appreciative and will definitely use Victoria again!”
About: What sets me apart is the care and attention I give to each dog like they’re part of my own family. I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and I truly see them as little babies who deserve the world. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I have two dogs of my own, so my day already revolves around walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love. In my home, your dog will be treated like one of the family. I provide a calm, clean, and cozy space where they can relax and feel safe. Whether they love playtime, snuggles, or just a quiet spot to nap, I adjust to their needs and routine. I stick to their usual feeding and potty schedule, offer daily walks, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention throughout the day.
“Allie is amazing. She goes above and beyond! On time very caring and sweet to the animals. She followed instructions to a tee and communicated as needed. I am going to book her again and again.”
About: I have volunteer experience with rescue animals, so I’ve seen the brave and the shy. I understand that all animals have different needs, and I’ll make sure to make your animal feel as comfortable and safe as possible. I also have a lot of small animal experience with my two guinea pigs :) With the inconsistency of life, I always try make room for the things I love, which includes your pet! Your pet will get loads of attention! I’m available evenings Monday-Saturday. I have small fur babies at home that gets lots of floor time, veggies, and attention! Whether big or small I’ll make sure your animals are well cared for. Volunteering at a shelter, I’ve seen a lot of dogs who really just need to be met where they are, so I’ll make sure to meet their every need as best as I can!
“Angela is fantastic with my dog, Zoe. She’s always on time and reliable. Zoe can be shy and slow to warm up to people but Angela was great about it and they get along perfectly. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs a walker or sitter.”
About: I've been around pets since I was a kid. I've had dogs, cats, and even rabbits. I wanted to be a Vet growing up and my family members always saw me as 'the animal lover.' One day I see myself owning all kinds of animals, but right now I want to take care of yours! I'm a very kind, playful, and personable guy who can show lots of love and form a bond with your pets. I currently own a 4-year-old cat and plan on getting another dog/cat very soon! I just moved to Yorktown Heights and I love how much space I have in my backyard (perfect for your dog to run around and play around). I work part-time and go to school full-time so my schedule is loaded but I'm a very flexible person and would love to make time for your pet the same way I make time for mine. I make sure all doors/windows are locked unless supervised. If outside, I will block off any potential escape routes and have them leashed or harnessed at all times unless told not to in certain situations. Lastly, I will NEVER leave any pet unsupervised. If I'm at your home I will of course abide to your instructions and preferences.

Vanessa G.
“When i was looking for a dogsitter i was not only looking for someone who had experience working with dogs. i wanted someone i could trust with the care and love that i have towards my dog Lupita. Lupita is about 8 years old, has a few health issues with a strict diet. I had a business trip and needed a reliable person who not only "watches" my dog but also gives the love and care that i would. A friend of mine recommended Vanessa, she mentioned that Vanessa has dogs of her own and that she had previously cared for her dog as well so i accepted. Vanessa was phenomenal she not only did the regular things such as walked Lupita, and fed her. Vanessa made sure Lupita was comfortable with her before i left for my trip. I could feel at ease knowing i was leaving her in good hands. When i came back from my trip my Lupita was happy with vanessa, and she became my regular person when i went to trips. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who shares a strong bond with their pet as much as i do.”

Jonathon C.
“Jonathon is a very caring and loving person to humans and our four legged animals who we love and adore. I know Jonathon would go over and beyond to care for his animals and I know he would do the same to others. Jonathon is not only playful but he is attentive to others needs. He loves my little dog, Charlie (a Maltese mix) who he knows for 13 years and has shown nothing but care for him. Jonathon will be an asset to Rover.com.”
