About: I have taken care of all types of dogs. Old. Young. Small. Large. I give them the attention and love that they need and deserve. I love going on long walks so I am sure your dog will love that too! I had a boxer mix for almost 14 years but due to old age and sickness he passed away. I have a lot of loving to give to another dog! I work as a personal trainer at a couple of gyms that are close by so I usually make my own schedule. I am always local so I would be able to give your pet the time it needs. I give them their own comfortable area to be in and I am easily available to walk, play, feed and pamper your dog! I listen to specific instructions given.

About: I have taken care of my own dog since I was 6 and have experience cat sitting for family friends. I have also been around a wide variety of pets- from a very talkative parrot to an energetic ferret! I genuinely love getting to know new animals and making sure that they feel completely relaxed and comfortable with me. My top priority is to keep your pet(s) happy and well-loved until you return. I recently graduated from Penn State and am currently working part-time as a Behavior Therapist for children with autism. After returning home from college, I said goodbye to my childhood dog of 16 years. It would mean so much to me to share the love I had for my own pup with your pet(s). Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or just relaxing company, I would love to make sure your pet(s) feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I live in an apartment building, which is where my dog grew up. He started out sleeping in a crate while he was being potty-trained. As he got older, he had to rely on me and my family to carry him up and down the stairs, push him in his stroller when he could no longer walk on his own, and help him take his medications. I understand that caring for animals with different qualities of life requires adjusting to their needs, and I plan to do just that for you and your pets.

“Nusta took great care of my dogs! I needed my dogs checked on quickly & Nusta was able to promptly do a visit last minute. She even sent cute photos of them & updates. I keep a pee pad out for my smaller dog and she cleaned up after that too.”


About: Hi guys! For first time customers, I offer a $20 PROMO CODE - RONR61182 Having owned and cared for dogs of many kinds since I was ten years old, I feel privileged to have a special connection with animals. . Neighbors, friends and families have counted on me to walk, play, train, and run with their beautiful pets. I offer special care, love and attention the entire time I will spend with your pet! My first dog was a playful sweet German Shepard, and my second, a gorgeous and naughty Cocker Spaniel. I also have experience with cats, bunnies and reptiles! I am an eternal animal enthusiast and have plenty of time to walk and play with your dogs. I currently work part time and make my own hours, so I am flexible and can be available 7 days a week. I have a car and can travel if you are located outside of Forest Hills. My speciality is dog walking and dog running. I also offer dog and cat visits in their own habitat and environment. I will ensure they are happy, safe and comfortable.

About: I have plenty of patience tolerance and adaptability and with no pets right now and really miss having a little sweetie around. I have lovingly cared for ill and elderly fur kids. Sober since 1996 so no exposure to smoking, drugs or alcohol in my care. Meditating twice daily for decades and find it also makes for a nice peaceful environment. Fur kids love curling up in my lap for meditation time and it can help regulate their little nervous system too. I mostly work remotely so my schedule is pretty flexible and I have a lap available while in my office. I also walk a few miles a day to avoid my lap getting too big. If you see anything that might be limiting in my profile - feel free to ask and see if I can accommodate or make any exceptions. Im pretty flexible with accommodating fur kids. If they are used to crating to feel safe its not a problem but if crating is not necessary that's fine.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, rats, and snakes. I love all animals. Currently my two dogs live with my parents because they get lonely when I’m at work, but I have two cats with me who are sweet as pie. They don’t hiss, scratch or bite and they love other animals. I do work as a teacher so I am gone part of the day. I can get home on my lunch for a quick walk since I live very close to my job. After work, I’m available for all the cuddles they want. Most weekends, if I go out at all, are quick errands. I live in an apartment and ensure all pets’ safety by making sure I close the mudroom door upon leaving or entering my apartment so no animals can get loose.

About: I am a full-time educator looking for some part time work. Im introverted so I spend loads of time at home with the fur babies. On weekdays I will be out from 7am-5pm most days. Weekends will be dependent on scheduled boarding and any pre-scheduled compromises. Pleask ask for accommodations. I have a very gentle, shy 1 year old cat. At home, I have a gate that can try to separate them as much as possible. At a client’s home, that will be dependent on the needs of the owner and animal companion.

About: With a lifelong passion for animals and years of hands-on experience, I bring a unique level of care to every pet I look after. I've cared for dogs of all sizes since childhood and have a deep understanding of both energetic pups and senior dogs with special needs. I recently cared for my Yorkie, who lived to be 13, administering daily insulin injections and oral medications with patience and precision. Whether your pet needs gentle medical support or an active play companion, I’m here to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their needs. As a part-time worker with a flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate specific days to pet sitting, ensuring each animal receives my full attention and care. Whether during the week or on weekends, I plan my availability around your pet’s needs to provide consistent, focused, and loving care. While I don’t currently have pets living in my apartment with me, I offer a safe, clean, and cozy environment for any animal in my care. My apartment, though modest in size, is located in Forest Hills which is a quiet, beautiful neighborhood with plenty of green space for walking, playing, and outdoor breaks. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I prioritize their comfort and safety while being respectful and mindful of your space and surroundings.

About: I have raised German Shepards, Golden Retrievers, Great Danes, and I am currently a mommy to a Japanese akita, I have experience with several dog breeds. I am currently bartending events on call therefore my schedule is very flexible. I am able to have a lot of time for your fluffy. Kiki has a routine she is on, she is a very calm dog, she gets along very well with cats. Many people have told me that she must have been a cat in her past lifetime.

“Cristian took good care of my two-year old kitty. She sent lots of pictures and updates, and I felt comfortable leaving him, knowing she was looking in on him.”


“I can’t thank Avalyn enough for the incredible care she provided to my beloved cat, Thomasina. Thomasina is very shy and not quick to trust, and for the first 7 days of my trip, she hid in the closet—nervous, withdrawn, and clearly missing her routine. But Avalyn never once rushed her. She made sure Thomasina had food, fresh water, and a clean litter box nearby, gently checking in on her while giving her the space she needed. Avalyn’s calm, compassionate attitude and genuine love for animals make her a standout cat sitter.”

Norhan Y.
“It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Norhan as a caregiver on Rover! Norhan has a deep love for animals and I don't know if I have seen someone have as much love for their dog as Norhan has for her dog, Kita. From the moment that I met Norhan over 5 years ago, it was evident that she is a spiritual human with a special soul and appreciation for animals. Her doggy Kita has done more traveling and has visited more cities and countries than I have! Norhan goes above and beyond for her doggy and treats her like a princess! She gets her pets the best food and toys and their relationship is a true example of man (and woman's) best friend! Norhan is incredibly reliable and trustworthy. I cannot think of a person that I would trust more with my pets than her. She consistently went above and beyond to accommodate any special requests or instructions we had, and always kept us updated with regular communication and adorable photos, providing us with peace of mind while we were away. Moreover, Norhan is highly adaptable and resourceful. She is capable of handling any unexpected situations with grace and professionalism, demonstrating her ability to remain calm under pressure and make quick, sound decisions in the best interest of your pet. In addition to her exceptional caregiving skills, Norhan is an A+ friend and person. She possesses excellent interpersonal skills, always maintaining a positive attitude and fostering strong bonds with humans and animals alike. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Norhan to anyone seeking a caring, responsible, and dedicated caregiver for their furry [or scaly lol] family member. Respectfully, Dr. Rey R”

Howie S.
“My dog Gracie was Howie’s first client and I am so grateful for it after all these years, over 5 (that’s 35 in dog years!) Howie treats her like his own. He not only takes care of the standard needs he also understands that she needs and loves company and belly rubs but also sometimes just likes to curl up in one of her nooks that she has created in his home. In my previous job I traveled extensively around the world and was often far away for a week or 2 at a time. Knowing that Gracie was with Howie always gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend him.”

Nusta took great care of my dogs! I needed my dogs checked on quickly & Nusta was able to promptly do a visit last minute. She even sent cute photos of them & updates. I keep a pee pad out for my smaller dog and she cleaned up after that too.

Anscia was available for a last minute drop in that was needed and was very helpful in taking care of Gio while I was caught up at an appointment. Thank you, Anscia!!

Andi took care of my introverted dog and did a great job. He sent photos and she seemed really comfortable with him. Definitely will book again

Catalina was a lifesaver coming through in a pinch for a last minute request. She took care of our old guy and traveled in the rain to do it! We can’t thank you enough for being so reliable and sweet to our dogs.

This is the second time using her services. I hope my feedback will provide her with even more clients. Yasmeen is super sweet, patient and gentle. Sometimes, I checked the pictures, and feedback. Sometimes, I didnt because I knew they were in safe hands! Top tier service and peace of mind while we were away. Of course we will use her again!

Stefany is extremely prompt, punctual and respectful of my home while she takes care of my 3mo old puppy! She Thank you so much :)

Tedy has been amazing doing short notice drop in visits and helping me learn tips in this new venture of being a dog mama with my rescue puppy!!!

Juandiego was considerate, kind, and very familiar with all size dogs! He gave some great offhand advice for our training, and my anxious large dog was immediately comfortable with him for his walk at the meet for the first time. Photos were an added bonus :) Would work with him again any time and highly recommend for anyone looking for a safe and knowledgeable dog walker!
