About: I have cared for all kinds of animals my whole life. From farm to family and friends'. Strays somehow always find me in my neighborhood. I am so passionate about creatures that I volunteer at the SPCA as a socializer in my free time. I have also cared for elderly & sick animals. Spending time with pets is one of my greatest joys! My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to travel to visits in the area multiple times a day/week as needed. I am centrally located in Midtown. Although your bond with your pet is one of a kind, my goal is to give your pet the same fun, comforting, and safe time as they would have with you. This includes learning their and your preferences for feeding schedules, walking habits (i.e. reactive to other dogs or humans? prefers to poop on dirt rather than grass?), home and public safety of your animal, doing my best to keep toxic and/or forbidden foods out of reach (plants, shoes, charging cables etc), and keeping any door-dashers where they should be. I have experience administering medications to cats and dogs, and in cats, injecting fluids. I respect your home and your privacy. Working with integrity and keeping your trust is very important to me!
About: Hi, I’m Bernadette! If your pet needs a hangout sesh, I’m available for walks and drop-in visits! Aside from being a part time dog walker and lifetime pet owner, I am also a trusted pet sitter for a variety of animals for family, friends, colleagues, and Rover users. My love for animals has put me on a path of fostering and volunteering at animal shelters. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet(s)! I am working remotely as a freelance graphic designer, which allows me to be flexible and available for dog walking and drop-in services on most days. If given an early notice, I am typically available every weekday from 7 a.m. - 7 p.m., but I am always willing to negotiate different times or extended stays if needed. I will respect your pet’s boundaries, behaviors, and environment to ensure they feel as safe and comfortable as possible. I will keep your pet company (so long as they allow me to) and give them all the love, enrichment, and attention as they need!
“I absolutely love booking Elizabeth! She takes such amazing care of my cats and truly treats them like her own. She’s incredibly thoughtful and attentive to their well-being, and her updates always give me such peace of mind. Elizabeth is super communicative, reliable, and always sends lots of adorable photos, which I really appreciate. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter! Highly recommend!”
About: I've been around dogs since I was a young buck. In my early college days I thought it would be a good idea to get a King German Shepard. Haycaramba! I learned the art of taking care of a beast. I currently take care of a few dogs on the regular and I'm looking to expand. Is taking care of your pooch my next adventure? I'm a professional photographer with a flexible schedule. I'm free as long as I don't have a shoot. I wake with the birds and I love to be active. (Let me know if you would like some action or portrait shots with your pup.) I feel like I have a 6th sense when it comes to dogs. I can read their emotions, wants, and needs. If I'm in somebody else's home it's all about respect and integrity. In the winter I work at Sugar Bowl in Village Services. I'm their Lead Steward, I help take care of 140 homes. When I'm with dogs I vibrate with joy, I add respect and most dogs are obedient naturally. Dogs are pros at reading energy.
About: I have pet sat the small dogs & cats of my friends, their families, and neighbors for a decade+. Pets fill my heart with joy and I love meeting them. I have administered oral medication to pets & am adept at making sure your fur babies are comfortable and loved while you’re away. I am self employed & have time during the week & evenings to walk your pet and make sure their needs are taken care of! Weekends available on a case by case basis. I have my own senior cat to care for, so overnights are not an option. I can come by your home to check on your pets, provide basic care, offer them love and affection, and walk dogs. I do not offer care inside my home.
“Sara was amazing! She always made an effort to provide a detailed check-in with comforting updates and photos. We’d be happy to have her watch over our fur baby kitty again!”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs from an Aussie Shepard to the cutest weiner dog. I’m an energized dog walker but am so down for a slow and steady walk. I will dedicate my time to your pet and value them in my schedule. It’s important all animals are valued and kept safe and happy and I can’t wait to help your furry friend. I prioritize the needs of the pets I care for. I never let a pet go hungry or thirsty and am ready for any and all potty breaks.
“Always sends lots of updates and gives my pup lots of love and attention. My neighbor also commented on how wonderful Anita was with pup and professional.”
About: I grew up with pets and spent years caring for my sweet Chihuahua. I was also that neighborhood kid who fed all the stray cats. I've always had a deep love for animals, and now I'm just looking to spend more time doing what I love! I'm attentive to senior pups who need a slower pace and extra care. And my patient demeanor means that I will be calm and loving to your puppy (no matter what)! I’m a teacher and currently off for summer 2025—with lots of free time that I hope to spend with animals! This means I’m highly flexible and available for last-minute bookings. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow all of your care instructions exactly, including instructions regarding gates/locks and home security.

About: I have been around pets my whole life! I have watched family, neighbors and friends animals. From daily walks to belly rubs or just keeping your dog company.

I will make sure to give your pet my full attention when I am with them! I always ensure that I do my best to follow your pets usual routines from feeding schedules to walking times and any special instructions provided.

Southside Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Hope is the best!!!! When she is watching our two cats I know she cares as much about them as I do! She is an excellent and thorough communicator. Hope takes and shares the best cat pictures which helps us miss them a little less while we are away. We are so grateful for the love she shows our cats!
Tiffany was great and reliable the whole time she watched my kitties. She communicated, showed up when she said she would and send cute pictures and reviews of her time with them. The cats seemed in good spirits when I returned! Thank you!!
We are incredibly lucky to have found such a caring and loving doggy care giver! We have two dogs with very different personalities, and Cyrene was able to care for them in the best way. Not only did they follow all our instructions, but they also went above and beyond to ensure our doodles were healthy, happy, and had some outside time/exercised. Our boys are patiently waiting for more Cyrene visits!
Jaclyn was So easy to work with and Max our cat appreciated the attention! We definitely want to continue with Jaclyn again and would recommend her highly. Thanks Jaclyn!
Jordan was great with my kitty and sent detailed updates on each check in! She was attentive and communicative, and I felt safe that my cat was getting the care and attention he needed.
Erin was great with our Senior pup, she gave her a quiet relaxing environment. We never worry when our pup is in Erin’s care!
Bari is an excellent sitter and always goes above and beyond taking care of my cat Vincent! He is always happy and content when I get home from trips.
I am always comforted when I know Shannon is free to care for my Leo. She is always on time and is very trustworthy. I am grateful to have her as my dog sitter when needed.
Holly is excellent! She has cared for our babies for several years now and couldn’t recommend more! Thanks so much Holly!
We are so grateful for Jandy. We messaged her at 2:30AM looking for someone experienced to help us out with our sweet sick cat. He has chronic diseases and was pretty stable before we left for a short trip, but we noticed on our cameras he was having a flare up while we were gone. Our regular sitter wasn’t ready to manage it. Jandy answered us that morning and was at our place by 11:30 AM giving our cat SubQ fluids, meds, and sweet snuggles. He was doing much better after she took care of him. She is clearly very knowledgeable with cats with medical problems. She shared some of her experience in taking care of cats with similar issues, and what worked for them, obviously discuss all treatment with your vet, but we found it helpful! Because of Jandy we got to enjoy the rest of our trip knowing our cat was in good hands.
Chynna was amazing with our two pups! One of them is on a little more on guard with people he doesn’t know and Chynna was so patient with him! They became best buds by the end of our trip. Super appreciate all the patience and helping to clean up when our dog got a little too excited. Would definitely book again!
Debbie was fantastic! She’s the cat whisperer and is able to get our particular kitty playing and having fun while we’re gone.
I cannot overstate how grateful we are to have found Shera as a pet sitter. She is fabulous: incredibly communicative, very trustworthy and kind, and clearly cares deeply about each animal. We always have a hard time being away from our pets, but she makes it so much easier. Thank you, Shera!!
We have a feisty old kitty who is very hard to medicate. Andee has been more successful with medicating her than any other pet sitter we have tried! We are very grateful for Andee’s excellent animal care skills.
Liz is amazing! My cats absolutely love her, and I really appreciate how flexible and reliable she is. Always a great experience when we book with her!
Rachel was awesome and communicative. She kept us updated regularly and the cats were totally content the entire time :)
Josilyn was amazing with Lucy! She brushed her, took her on walks, played with her, and made sure she felt loved and happy the whole time. She even accommodated an extra day last minute, which I’m so thankful for. I’m really glad Josilyn was the one taking care of Lucy — she went above and beyond, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!
Maya was great! She arrived on time and my pups seemed to love her. Had daily photos and updates. We definitely would trust her and recommend her to pup sit again. Thank you Maya!!
