About: Hi! I’m a dog lover and proud dog mom to my rescue pup, China 🐾 I also have experience with cats as I grew up with one my whole life, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats! I’ve pet sat for friends and family over the years and know how important it is to have someone trustworthy and caring looking after your pets. I’m available on weekends for walks and drop-ins and I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own 😊 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I have my own dog, China. My weekends are usually pretty flexible, which is why I’m available for walks and drop-ins. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so fitting pet care into my routine feels natural! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep them as comfortable and stress free as possible by following their normal routine closely. For walks and drop-ins, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, fresh water, meals if needed, and of course lots of love and care. I also know how important updates are, so I’m happy to send photos and check-ins!

“Tuba was very responsive, clean and respectful!”

About: I've been caring for pets professionally for over 10 years. I'm not just a caregiver; I'm a devoted pet parent myself. My own fur babies are like my children, and I treat every pet I care for with the same love, attention, and respect. I work full time but with a very flexible schedule. I work from home & occasionally go into the city. I’m comfortable with all age groups Whether it's daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping your pet company while you're away, I bring patience, experience, and genuine affection to every visit. I understand how important it is to feel your pet is in good hands--and that's exactly what I strive to provide.

About: Cats, cats, cats — I just love them! I’ve been around cats since I was 12, when I lived with my grandmother who taught me how to care for them with patience and love. I’ve done everything from bottle-feeding tiny kittens to helping mama cats through birth. Over the years, I’ve learned that every cat is unique — some are shy, some playful, and some just want a calm, quiet cuddle. I also partner with the Animal Hope program in Staten Island to help homeless cats, which is really close to my heart. I’ve been cat sitting for many years now, and I have a spacious home that’s fully set up for them — with plenty of toys, cozy spots, and cat trees to climb and explore When I take care of a cat, I don’t just ‘look after’ them. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they’re one of my own. BOOK YOUR VISIT TODAY! I’ve been cat sitting for many years and have a spacious home set up just for them — with toys, cozy spots, and cat trees to climb and explore. I also partner with the Animal Hope program in Staten Island to help homeless cats, which is something very close to my heart. Since I work remotely, I’m home most of the day and can give your cat plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I truly love being around cats and treat every single one like family. Fun fact: I even celebrate my own cats’ birthdays 🎉🐾 I live in a spacious house with plenty of natural sunlight and a big backyard. It’s a calm, cozy space where cats can feel at ease and explore comfortably. I also had set up cat trees, toys, and plenty of cozy spots for lounging or playtime — your cat will have lots of room to relax and have fun!

About: I used to work at a vet for a year and I also have a tiny baby of my own! I also work part- time at the Staten Island Zoo. I can give medication, I have knowledge on vaccines and I also can handle any temperament of any dog. I just graduated from NSU-FL with my masters of science in marine biology and I am am fully at home based. So I am always available to take care of any and all fur babies! I have a small friendly dog, who loves the company of other pups! I also live in a 3 story house with a very large fenced in yard that is perfect for pups who love to be outside and have high energy. I also live near New Dorp beach and Gateway Park so they will be able to walk near the water and get a fresh breeze as well!

About: Pups have been a part of my life since I can remember. I grew up loving & caring for our family dogs - Max our rambunctious Dachshund & Pulco our gentle giant Lab Retriever. Since Max & Pulco I have been a second mom to all of my friends pups whenever they need a walk a home away from home stay or simply a play date. My freelance work schedule allows me time to dedicate to my love of dogs. I live in a house with a very large fenced backyard. Aside from walks pup who stay with me will always have access to the yard granting them extra outdoor exercise & playtime. I always like to send photos & videos of pups during their stay to keep their parents at ease :)

About: Since I was younger, I have always been around dogs and other pets. My parents are avid animal lovers and naturally it rubbed off on me! I have attended events to promote animal rights and care for each pup as if they are my own. I have been walking dogs for approximately 6 years. From Shih Tzus to Labrador retrievers, I have cared for dogs with sizes in between. I enjoy spending time and getting to know each pup. As dog owner of a nose driven beagle, I understand the love and energy needed to keep up with our four legged family members. I love taking my dog for walks all over Staten Island. I am currently working from home and would like to fill my time with kind, energetic and loving dogs! I am available to walk and check in on your dog and cats throughout the week and on weekends. Message me for availability. Thank you. As a dog owner, I am aware of people and other pets around me when going on walks. It is important to know and understand the temperament of your dog to ensure their safety. For drop in visits, having a beagle has prepared me to identify potential problematic situations. I normally do a visual scan of the area to make sure that pee pads are secured, doors are closed and food is put away.

About: Ever since I was a little girl, animals have honestly always been apart of my life and I always see it as a blessing. So from time to time when I can, I do rescue some strays that I find and give them loving homes. I also have a dog of my own named Gizmo who I love dearly. Whenever I get an opportunity to dog/cat sit neighbors or family's pet, I will always treat them as my own. I also volunteer at shelters, or dog shops to help walk them and feed them, make them feel love and comfort. The number one thing that I prioritize is animals safety and my full attention towards them. I do love to play with them, pet them to sleep, and sometimes sing to them to calm them down at times when feeling anxious. Dog/cat sitting is something I love and will always love.

“Day 1 leaving our puppy home by herself was such an easy good day because of Durell. 🥰 She’s timely,‘communicative, loving, and very helpful/does anything I suggest or ask of her. Will keep using Durell & Michael again and again for our pup, Scoobie… She loves Durell, as well!”

About: I have 11 pets, 5 cats 6 reptiles and also maintain my salt water reef tanks. 1 of the cats is a diabetic and the other has hyperthyroidism and I take very great care of all of the animals. I am currently available any day and at any times. I work from home and on my own schedule so I am very flexible with availability. I have a very large home with a fenced yard and a pool. Some pets I dog sit for have loved a nice swim! And I also enjoy going to the park with the dogs and have plenty of cat posts and obstacles around the house for the cats.

About: I’ve always been around dogs since I was little. Always have had a dog or dogs in the family. My children love dogs as well. Can’t wait to meet you and your pup! I currently work from home! I have a flexible schedule myself so I am able to help out with what fits your schedule and time! I have a fenced yard. I have one dog named Chianti. She is a black lab and a working dog. She is super calm, friendly and playful. Great with other dogs.

About: I've taken care of dogs and animals of all kinds since I was 6 years old growing up in the farm. I was born and raised in Montenegro (in Europe). Now I am living in the city and I so very much miss being around animals. Dogs especially are truly amazing and my best friends. I ended up getting my dog Peanut in December of 2021, right after my diagnosis with stage 4 metastasis breast cancer. Peanut has been my life savior and I would do anything to make her happy and have her live the best life. Therefore my reasoning for doing Rover is to find a companion for Peanut to have a good time while I am also enjoying taking care of many other dogs 😊 I am an accountant and luckily I am working from home. My boyfriend is a Software developer and he works from home too. Your pup will be taken care of very well. My dog is a shihtzu/Havannese mix little girl born October 11th, 2021. I walk them every 2 hours and I take them for long walks to the park morning and late afternoon for longer time as needed. We have a lot of dog toys, including challenging games. I enjoy playing and cuddling with them, and they can sleep anywhere, couch or bed. They will always be under my supervision and attentive care. I have training in giving them medication, releasing them from stress, and an obedience course.

About: I am a former animal care specialist at Pet N’ Play Luxury Resort, when I was living in upstate NY. Currently living in Bushwick, and at the resort I supported cats and dogs for overnight stay at our daycare, as well as the veterinary hospital next door (Middlehope Hospital)! I worked with animals for playtime, feeding, laundry, cleanup, walks, and maintained their health and wellness report cards everyday. I have supported puppies at least 4 months old, blind, deaf, and senior dogs. CATS: I’ve taken care of cats at the hospital, and as a Walden Humane Society Volunteer! Love all cats, but I can only stay at the home if they are hypoallergenic :o at the moment i have availability after 3pm on weekdays, and anytime weekends! i work part-time in event staffing, and im very comfortable in nyc day and night, as im originally from queens :D. please feel free to contact me if you have further questions :) I’m not able to bring pets to my residence, however I’m currently offering dog walking and dog sitting! I love to spend time with dogs through use of toys or companionship, walks, talking to them, petting, being by their side, or inviting them to sit with me!

“Kelise did a wonderful job while we were away. She walked and fed my dog (7 year old pitbull) and fed my 17 year old cat. They were both in excellent shape when we got home. I paid for her to stay extra time to pet the animals, and I could tell from her emails and photos that she really loved them.”

About: Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do it’s something I love. With over seven years of hands on experience, I’ve worked with pups of all ages, from energetic puppies who need structure and play, to senior dogs who deserve gentle care and patience. But what truly sets me apart isn’t just my background it’s how I show up for every dog I meet. I believe dogs need more than just food and potty breaks they thrive on connection, routine, and fun. Whether it’s going on engaging walks, getting in some solid playtime, working on basic training, or just lounging with belly rubs and calm companionship, I focus on giving each dog exactly what they need to feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own and I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone else is caring for your pet. That’s why I keep you updated, send pics, and make sure your pup is not only well cared for, but genuinely enjoying their time Believe your dog is in great hands. Pet care is a daily priority, including feeding, exercise, and affection, ensuring seamless integration into my routine, prioritizing furry companions' well-being, and with weekly tasks like grooming and vet visits ensuring their well-being. In my client's home, I tailor pet care to their specific needs, providing feeding, exercise, and companionship. Home care varies based on service type and client preferences.

“Molly was professional, caring and took excellent care of my 2 dogs!! I would definitely ace her back again”

“Tara did a great job again watching my kitties while we were away. I really appreciate that she always sends update photos and spends the time to play. She even cleaned up some unexpected messes (naughty kitty unrolled a LOT of toilet paper) which was much appreciated!”
