Pet Sitting Spuyten Duyvil

About: Hello!! I am an absolute dog lover, I’ve dog-sit for friends and family including feeding, walking, and playing with their animals! Im very attentive to detail and making sure feeding and walking stays consistent with their daily schedule. I have experience with very high energy dogs as I’ve primarily taken care of dogs from the range of 1-3 years old. I’m free all days of the week from early mornings to late evenings. I am also available to do multiple walks throughout the day if needed. While I am not providing care in my own home I would typically clean up, make sure there is nothing that is of danger to the dogs. I also will remove any food or drink off my counters, typically for the larger dogs that may be able to reach them.

“Binta was a wonderful sitter for my Cleo! I appreciate how she took the time to get to know Cleo and wrote meaningful updates. Cleo is a shy, reserved girl but Binta was able to get through to her! I hope to book with Binta again in the future. Thanks for everything, Binta!!”

“Our cats love Bryant! He’s communicative and super responsible. It’s a relief to be able to trust that our kitties will be just fine while we’re away. :)”

“Lili took care of our cat, Mishmish, while we were on vacation. She followed instructions to the T, and our elderly cat, who is usually pretty lethargic and not overly friendly, warmed up to her. We came back to clean litter box, swept floors, and our cat having fresh water and food. We will absolutely work with Lili again when we travel for extended period of time, and highly recommend her to any pet owner.”

About: My name is Jacob and I love dogs! I’ve been walking them and training them since I was seven-years-old. I have experience with dogs both big and small as well as breeds such as pit-bulls, mastiffs, and labradors. I’m comfortable with any type of dog. As for my previous experience, I used to walk dogs in my neighborhood in New York City where I grew up. I also love cats! I have a nice fluff-ball named Deebo. I love the little guys! I have references and will provide them upon request. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work night shifts starting at 10:30pm (starting on May 18th) but I’ll be available during the day and evening. Mornings are best, but I’m flexible. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and will cherish your pet. I take pride in my work and will ensure that it will seem like I was never there.

About: I have been around dogs and cats since I was five years old, so caring for animals has always been a natural and important part of my life. I am patient, loving, and attentive to each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your dog is playful, shy, energetic, or older and needs a gentler pace, I will provide dependable care, affection, exercise, and plenty of attention. I will also follow your instructions carefully and send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your dog is safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently not working, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, and walks during weekdays and weekends. For pets that are not comfortable around other dogs or cats, I can also provide a quiet, separate space in my mother’s apartment, which is located in the same building. This allows me to give your pet personalized care in an environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I care for every pet according to their normal routine, personality, and specific needs. In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, and affection. For pets that are not comfortable around other dogs or cats, I can offer a quiet, separate space in my mother’s apartment, located in the same building. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions while respecting their home and keeping everything clean and organized. I also send regular photos and updates so pet parents can feel relaxed knowing their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Absolutely professional sitter and very communicative. First time using a dog sitter and she eased my nerves. Highly recommended, if I can give 6 stars I would.”

“Essence played with my new dog Lxuky, and kept him so engaged and cozy! Essence is great with dogs and is so kind and trustworthy!”

“Shelley was absolutely great! She came in exactly when she said she would and went above and beyond caring for my cat. She took the time to give my cat attention, made sure the food and water bowls were full, and stayed in constant communication with me throughout. I especially appreciated the photo updates—it gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend Shelley to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: Hi! I’m a Licensed Veterinary Nurse with 9 years of experience caring for animals, and I truly love spending time with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, playtime, or just lots of cuddles, I’m happy to match their pace and make them feel safe, loved, and at home. My veterinary background means you can have extra peace of mind knowing I’m experienced in recognizing health concerns and caring for pets with medical needs. I’m a proud US Army veteran! I work full time at a veterinary hospital so my availability would be on my off days. I would be able to provide services for your pet on any of those days! I have a reactive dog who lives a wonderful life with her three kitty sidekicks. They’ve moved with me from Hawaii to Louisiana and now New York. I will always provide the same kind of love to your pets as I give to mine.

About: Hi! I’m Kris — a lifelong animal lover, experienced caregiver, and proud pet parent myself. After years working professionally as a nanny and preschool teacher, I understand how important trust, patience, and reliability are when caring for someone you love. I share my home with my rescue cat, Cosmo, who found me as a sick stray and quickly became the tiny king of the household. I have also been a shelter volunteer for many years, so I'm good with rescues and seniors. I’d love to help local families with dependable walks, check-ins, and companionship for their pets. Whether your pet loves a long stroll, a little extra playtime, or just a friendly face while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and appreciated. I believe every pet has their own personality (and usually very strong opinions!), and I love getting to know what makes each one special. I work at a restaurant in the evenings, but I'm looking forward to dedicating my mornings/ early afternoons to caring for YOUR fur baby! I'm also available weekends and most holidays. When caring for pets, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I'm detail-oriented and will always follow an owner's care instructions carefully. I understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home. My years working as a nanny and preschool teacher taught me the importance of reliability, clear communication, and caring for someone’s family member exactly the way their family would want. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and notes so you know your pet is happy and cared for while you’re away!

“Tosha was fantastic. I left for a longer than usual time on vacation; and Tosha came by on daily basis to watch and check-in on my cat, Buddy. Tosha was communicative, helpful, and did a wonderful job watching over him. She even went above and beyond to help clean up after Buddy when he made some messes in the apartment. I'm very grateful for her help, will book her in the future, and recommend others do as well.”

About: I’ve had the joy of being around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with both small and large breeds since I was a little girl. Caring for them is a lifelong passion for me. I love not only spending time with dogs but also training them, learning about their unique personalities, and making sure they feel happy, healthy, and understood. My goal as a sitter is to give each dog the same level of love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is thriving while you’re away. As a freelance artist, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to tailor my day around the needs of the pets I care for. My work in the arts gives me the freedom to be present for regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Because I can easily adjust my routine, I’m able to give each pet consistent attention and love. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or in a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are in a secure environment that they are free from hazards, with access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and plenty of safe play space. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, from feeding routines to exercise schedules, and keep a watchful eye on the pet’s behavior and well-being. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and ensure it’s kept tidy and secure. My goal is to provide both the pet and their owner with peace of mind, knowing they’re in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment.

“Fallon was a wonderful sitter. She took great care of our cat and sent us pictures of her while we were away. She was very considerate and communicative, from our initial conversations through the end of the booking. We would definitely ask her to sit for us again in a heartbeat.”

“This was my first Rover experience and I couldn't land on a better person! Not only Angelique explained throughly everything to me but also made sure I am well aware of what's going on with my cat! She kept me updated and most importantly my Buba was happy and had good care. Definitely recommend Angelique and will use her assistance in the future”

Gabriela O.

“Jay is the best combination of professional and friendly. He takes excellent care of our dog who has mobility limitations, and I am sure he would also be wonderful with active dogs. He is clearly experienced and knowledgeable.”

About: I've been fortunate to grow up with pets throughout my entire life. I grew up in a "dog family", that always had an energetic canine running around the backyard or begging to go for a walk. As I got older, I watched pets for friends' families when out of town, which developed my confidence caring for others' animals. Since moving to NYC several ago, I adopted my two sweet, playful cats, who have prepared me for the ins-and-outs of cat care. I am excited to share my experience as a pet owner with you and your pets! I currently work a 9-5 office job in the city. I am happy to swing by for drop-in visits before/after work and have flexibility for more frequent visits on the weekends. I keep an organized and tidy apartment, a space which perfectly (purrfectly?) blends both a human home and feline abode. I have climbing structures and toys throughout the apartment, and ensure that both cats have adequate separate resources in case they prefer to play solo.

“Isabella is a wonderful caregiver for your pet! She is tender and loving to your animal and follows exactly what you say is good help for your pet while you are gone. I highly recommend her!”

About: I worked 1 year in pet boarding. And bath groomer. I cared every single breed and also cared a lot cats. It’s amazing !!!I loved it I’m available to play all afternoon. I really love spent my time with them. In the morning I have a job but I’ve arrived always early to my home. I always take care to them. Hours to eat, hours to play, to go to walk, most importantly make feel the dog comfortable and also the costumer. I am currently not working but have a few errand along the day. In the morning as soon as I wake up I would take care of the cleaning pet area, feeding and walking if needed. I would repeat the process in the afternoon. I make sure to keep everything as clean as possible, separate the pets as directed by the owners, also feed and walk (of dog) twice a day or as directed for the owner
