“Siu-Lin was wonderful, and took great care of my dog, providing walks and feeding twice a day when I needed to duck out of town unexpectedly. She's very responsible, and my dog took to her immediately. I recommend her highly!”


“Stephanie has been wonderful to work with and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Our pupper enjoys every walk she takes with her. We can really tell that Stephanie cares about our dog and enjoys what she does. When we’ve had issues that we needed to cancel at the last minute, Stephanie was responsive and more than flexible in rescheduling and helping us. As long as Stephanie continues to work on rover, we will continue to do our best to make every accommodation needed to book her every time we need someone.”


About: With over 27 years of hands-on experience in animal care, I have dedicated much of my life to nurturing, raising, and understanding the needs of a wide variety of animals. From a young age, I was immersed in environments that required consistent, compassionate care for pets, developing a deep-rooted passion and natural intuition for animal welfare. Throughout the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in feeding, grooming, administering basic medications, and observing animal behavior for signs of distress or illness. My approach is always centered around patience, empathy, and attention to individual needs—ensuring that every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. I currently have a beloved fur baby of my own, who receives the highest standard of care and attention. This personal commitment reflects the level of dedication I bring to all animals under my supervision. Whether it’s routine care or emotional comfort, I pride myself on creating a nurturing and structured environment for every animal. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver, pets are an integral part of my everyday life. My home is not just a place for my own beloved fur baby—it's a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment for any pet in my care. Because of my personal commitment to animal well-being, I’m home the majority of the time, which allows me to provide constant supervision, companionship, and routine check-ins throughout the day. When boarding with me, your pet will experience a comfortable, secure, and engaging home environment—both indoors and outdoors. Inside, pets enjoy a cozy, climate-controlled space where they are treated like family. I maintain a clean and organized home, with designated pet-friendly areas for rest, play, and feeding. Whether your fur baby prefers quiet time or interactive play, I tailor the indoor experience to meet their individual needs, including any special care routines or accommodations. Outdoors, your pet will have access to a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe exploration, exercise, and fresh air. The space is ideal for dogs who love to run, play fetch, or simply lounge in the sun. Supervised outdoor time is incorporated into the daily routine, ensuring plenty of opportunities for physical activity and mental stimulation. In addition, I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who can serve as a playful companion if your pet enjoys the company of others. However, I also understand that not all pets are social butterflies, and I am fully prepared to keep them separated to ensure a calm and stress-free environment for everyone. Whether your pet thrives on companionship or prefers their own space, I adapt to what makes them most comfortable and secure.

About: For the last 11 years of my life I have taken care of my amazing dog who sadly passed away in 2024. Alongside taking care of my own pet, I have also taken care of others' pets. Friends, family or strangers, I always treat any pet as my own. I love all pets and have an extensive amount of experience in pet care, from dogs to cats to other animals as well. I am well versed in bathing, feeding, grooming, administering medication, and providing plenty of love and attention. My dedication to the well-being of animals goes beyond just the basic necessities; I strive to ensure they are happy, comfortable, and thriving in their environment. As a current graduate student, I am available during certain months of the year, including some additional weeks for breaks. I will always update my availability when I am in town, and will be more than ready to take care of your loved ones! I will only be offering dog walking and non-overnight dog/cat sitting services. I prefer to provide my pet sitting services in the home of the pet, but will make exceptions if needed. Typically, I like to use the pet's belongings when engaging with them, but I also have supplies of my own if needed. No matter your pet needs, I will make sure to care for your pet to the greatest extent.

“fiona does such a great job with my stubborn bulldog! ever since the meet and greet it was clear that she is passionate about what she does and i feel so comfortable knowing that my dog is getting enough love while im at work everyday.”


“Stella is always so happy to see Michael ! Always on time and able to handle her puppy energy. He even took her out on Thanksgiving in the rain since I am out of town. I am so glad to have him around when I have to go away for a while, it is always a pleasure working with him!”


About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. Being someone that my family relied on with caring for their pets, I have walked and cared for many dogs. I also have fostered dogs the past 2 years which gave me lots of experience caring for different types of dogs and some with behavioral issues. I currently work part time and am happy to accommodate your pets into my schedule. I will have time to care for and play with your pup! I will care for dog by taking him/ her for lots of long walks and play sessions! I can feed, bathe and walk your dog depending on your needs!

“Anna did a great job walking our dog while we were away on vacation. Despite the snow and freezing temperatures, she walked her for the full 30 minutes twice a day every day. She was very flexible when I asked her to pick the dog up at a different location and communicated a bunch of times to update me on how things were going. I highly recommend using Anna.”


About: I have lived with cats my whole life so I am very comfortable with them and know how to read them, even ones that are on the more temperamental side. I also have experience taking care of kittens. Dogs and cats both love me because I love to give them attention and am happy to play or cuddle with them. I have experience caring for dogs with challenges such as PTSD and anxiety. Currently this is my main job, so I have a lot of availability and can devote a lot of time and attention to your pet. I am happy to drive or take the train to your home in Nassau, Queens, or Brooklyn. I am available for short drop in visits or long term housesitting and overnight stays.

About: I will never leave your pet alone! I am retired have more than 8 years experience with cats and dogs. You won’t regret this pet sitter! I am currently retired from teaching little kids and now seeking to work with pets! I have tons of experience and will carefully watch your pet. I can watch big dogs but only one at a time. I have a completely fenced in yard and will not leave your pet unsupervised, I only use an un-retractable leash for extra pet safety .

“Wonderful !! Vanessa is super sweet while maintaining professionalism. My dog absolutely loves her. Vanessa sent photos of my pup on his walk and she played with him in my yard. He is still looking for her from my front window. I highly recommend Vanessa and will certainly be using her again. Thank you Vanessa.”


“Grace was so patient with my little old man. She gave me updates and sent pics during the walk. Have already arranged another walk with her, and am so thankful to have someone that I trust with my pup.”


About: I've been a dog mom for four years. I prepare all their meals from my kitchen because I want to do the very best for their health and quality of life. I'm very passionate about pet care and love. I'm available daily, flexible hours/times. I know the challenges of travel and living life with the added concern of pet care, and I'd love the opportunity to bring added peace of mind to another family. *Face-to-face meet & greet required before booking any overnight stays.* I'm a diligent, responsible adult. I also focus on tasks as I'm doing them so as not to allow distraction. I practice mindfulness and do not multitask, so my work has added care and focus. I will have the same level of care in your home as I do in mine. I am careful of locked gates before letting dogs out and keeping the babies safe. Dog CPR & First Aid

About: Hi! My name is Myasia Bradshaw. I am a student at American Musical & Dramatic Academy (or for short, AMDA) studying musical theatre. When I am not playing Elphaba on the stage and casting wicked spells, I love to put the spotlight on dogs and make them feel just as fierce & fabulous! My first best friend was named Eric (who was a cute little kitty), then came Munchie, Max and Squeak who were all black Labradors. Squeak was my favorite because he had the most energy. He was a bundle of joy and I loved being around him. As a result of being surrounded by these adorable munchkins I’ve developed a deep love for animals as they bring me great joy. Not only are they cute and cuddly but they’re always there for us! They deserve the best care - even the little rambunctious ones. Interacting with any animal makes me happy. Regardless of whether they have fur or scales I treat my pets, and other’s pets as family members who need just as much love and emotional care as they do physically. This would be my third job as I work at my school as a Library Assistant during the day (from 8:45 AM-1 PM); an Usher at Big Apple Circus from 9:30 AM - 3 PM and as a live entertainer at night ( from 6 PM-11:30 PM). It seems like a lot but my schedule fluctuates surprisingly. My schedule this year (in school) is pretty flexible though. This semester we are auditioning and prepping for our showcases (live theatre performances) so times will vary depending on when they need me on set, and when they don't. Sometimes it'll be 6 PM - 7 PM or 7 PM - 8 PM. I typically work at the library 2-3 times a week, at the circus 5 days a week and rehearse everyday excluding weekends. I have never found my schedule hard to manage. I believe that communication is key in all relationships! Therefore if a set time is set in stone then I will abide by them and work around both of our schedules to make ends meet. Although I can’t board dogs because I live in a dormitory, I’m a very respectful and responsible when it comes to staying at a client’s home. I am a neat freak myself so by the time you arrive back at your home it will be spick and span! I’d love to walk/care for your animals and become their friend! The safety and care of your dogs is the number one important aspect in my book. I want to ensure that I will listen to any needs you or the pet may have.

About: My partner Erick and I have spent our whole lives having and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, energetic dogs to the shy and skittish , and everything in between. We treat every pet like our own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. We work most days so we cannot board and stay in but we cannot stay the whole day. We can work out a time for drop-ins or walks any day of the week! We follow your pets’ routine closely. meals, walks, playtime, and cuddle breaks, so everything feels familiar and stress‑free for them. One of us is always checking in, whether it’s for extra potty breaks, fresh water, or just a little extra attention when they need it.

About: I've always loved dogs since I was little but never actually had one. On a drive up to my dad's job, is when my birthday wishes had finally come true. My dad and I had rescued my dog, Ebby, from a busy nearby highway and since that day my love for dogs has grown even more. All I've ever wanted to do was make them as happy as they made me. I've owned my dog for nearly 10 years now and our bond is still strong, even after my four years spent up at college. I look forward to walking a bunch of dogs using this Rover app and I am also willing to take them on little runs if it's okay with the owners!

Isabella N.
“Isabella would be an excellent caregiver as she already exemplifies compassion and responsibility in her everyday. She volunteers at an animal shelter once a week, works closely with horses in her hometown and university, and is overall loving towards all animals. Isabella gains joy and fulfillment from working with animals and humans alike. Not only is she organized and professional, but she is also flexible and will quickly adapt to her environment. Having known Isabella for over three years, I can confidently say she will be a great pet caregiver.”

She is exceptionally reliable, giving me complete peace of mind whenever I’m away. Her calm, capable, and intelligent approach means she can handle anything that might come up. On occasions when my dog required medication, Aimee managed it with ease and care. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and my pets adore her in return. She stays overnight in my home, caring not only for my pets but also respecting my space. Aimee is an honest, trustworthy person to whom I can confidently entrust both my beloved pets and my home.”
