“Alexandra did a great job with our 17 year old cat. We were out of town for 3 days and came back to a very clean living space and a very content Isis. Would definitely recommend Alexandra for overnight sitting with your pet!”

About: Hey! We’re Steph & Brian 🐾 We’re a pet-loving team offering reliable, thoughtful care for all kinds of animals—dogs, cats, birds, lizards… you name it. Whether we’re going for a walk, doing a drop-in, or hosting your pet at our place, we make sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after. Steph has shelter experience and grew up with her collie, Spike—her best bud and the original fetch pro. Brian’s had pets his whole life and brings tons of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. Between the two of us, we’ve cared for animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. We’re fully remote and super flexible—so whether you need someone last-minute or want to schedule something regular, we’ve got you. Feel free to message us or stop by and check out where your pet will be staying! I work remotely and have plenty of time to make sure I can give the attention you per needs. I often go on walks myself am I’m very active. I live close to a few different dog parks as well. Our apartment building has a fenced courtyard. There’s also a dog park not too far from me. I promise to care for your pet the way I’d care for my own!
“Destiny did such an incredible job! She was super accommodating with a last minute trip I had for work. She sent lots of pictures and videos of my dog making me feel reassured that he was well taken care of. She left my house probably cleaner than the way she found it! She went above and beyond to clean up after herself. I would highly recommend her for any of your pets needs!”

About: I have had pets, or as I say friends my whole life. For the past 22 years, I have taken care of my own as an adult. I have had both cats and dogs both at the same time. I treat all of my friends like family. I am a dedicated animal lover. I live in Rockaway beach. I am available on Thursdays and Fridays and most weekends. I am available Monday-Wednesday after 6PM. I am very flexible as well to accommodate special requests. I do not have a fenced in yard, however, I take my dog Tina for long walks around Rockaway, on the beach off season, and to the dog run on Shore.
“Greg house sat/dog sat for us when we left on a 4 day trip and he took such good care of our dog! He gave nightly updates and was more than amenable to our needs! I will be booking with Greg from here on out.”

“Jasmine was housesitting our greyhound while we were away for a long weekend. If you're looking for a kind and reliable caretaker, Jasmine is it. Her love for animals really shows and our dog fell enthusiastically in love with her right away. She was always very responsive and shared frequent photos with us while we were away. Looking forward to booking her for our next trip.”


“Kier was outstanding with watching our large breed, energetic dog while my husband and I were out of state for a long weekend. He was super communicative and gave a thorough summary at the end of each day with a ton of photos and info about their day together. He was also flexible and accommodating when our travel plans changed last minute and left our apartment spotless. It's clear that Kier has a passion for caring for animals and we can tell our dog was well loved while we were away. We will absolutely work with Kier again in the future!”

“Imani was wonderful in taking care of my dog. She was punctual and took interest in learning about my dogs routine and care. She send us pictures, video chat and messaged whenever it was necessary. We are thankful for her presence! Harry look happy, healthy and playful when we came back. Thank you Imani!”

“Meka was so amazing with our dog fairy and showed her such a great time. She was incredibly communicative and was able to accommodate a last minute sitting. Would recommend her to anyone”

“Juan was fantastic! Kept in touch and updated me with pics, asked all the right questions about caring for our dog, even managed to give him a bath, which is pretty impossible! Would definitely trust him, and book again. Top sitter!”

“My dog loved having Nichole stay with her while I traveled for a couple nights. Nichole took great care of her, sending regular updates and sticking close to her routines. She was a great houseguest, too. I’ll definitely book with Nichole again!”

“Valeria was amazing staying with my 2 cats when i was away for a weekend! She took great care of them and sent picture updates everyday. She was also so easy to work with and flexible to my schedule - I almost had to cancel and she was able to work it out with me when I found out I didn't have to cancel! Will definitely have her come watch my boys again ☺️”

“Kristen took great care of our 18 month old labradoodle for 10 days. On our initial meeting, my wife and I loved his easy-going but responsible attitude and our girl took to him right away without any hesitation. A big bonus was Kristen's proximity to Prospect Park. We received lots of photos during her stay and Kristen was super fast replying to any questions we had. Kristen is definitely going to be our go-to sitter on our nights out and when we're out of town.”

About: Animal care is my biggest passion! I’ve recently graduated college with a degree in biology, where I often volunteered at shelters to gain experience. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, fish & even birds for as long as I can remember. I don’t think I’ve ever met a pet that doesn’t like me, so I’m very excited to help those in my community with dedicated care! In a house with 4 cats and 2 dogs I’m constantly caring for pets of all ages! Currently I work part time, so I’m available most hours of the evening during the week and some weekends. Early mornings I could also do. I am ready for anything :) My first course of action with a dog I’m caring for is always to take them for a walk or let them out as it might’ve been hours since they’ve last been out. I’ll try for longer walks to use up all their energy til the next time I pop in. Then it’s time for food and water refill and play time/enrichment time where I try to get the last of their energy out. If I’m watching cats, I’ll feed them first and as they eat is my time to clean out the litter box. Cats also need tons of play time, so after they eat I’ll entertain them too. The hardest part for me is always leaving them.
About: Hello, My name is Julius and I am a Brooklyn based photographer/multimedia artist. I am extremely responsible, amiable, and truly do have a special place in my heart for dogs. I was born and raised among these lovable beings due to my mother and father being dog-enthusiasts. Most importantly, I understand what it takes to raise a happy and healthy canine companion. It should always be kept in mind that dogs are a reflection of their environment and upbringing, therefore, in order to keep your pal happy and healthy lots of love and attention should be given to them! I am very flexible, so I am easy to work with and can adapt well to your schedule. Thank you in advance for considering me to help take care of your pet.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - The Rockaways
Anastasiia is a true gem. We hired her for a 5 night stay and she was super kind and flexible about extending two additional nights when we got our flights mixed up. She alap offered to come by a day or two before our departure to get the rundown and meet Smokey ahead of time which we really appreciated. Smokey is extremely shy around strangers but by day two they were already making a lot of progress and by the end of the week he was napping in her lap and sleeping on her bed. Her genuine care about his happiness and well-being really showed. She sent detailed updates with great photos and videos, followed all of our instructions (even with our plants), and went above and beyond as a house guest. The house was spotless when she left. We will be hiring her again for sure knowing our little boy is in the best hands!
