House Sitting in Ulster Park

“Rima took care of Bear while we attended a wedding. She was very communicative and made sure our little guy had a fun evening. I would definitely recommend and her style made Bear very relaxed and comfortable even though they had just met the one time. Thank you!”

“Erin house-sat for us when we needed a cat sitter for four days on short notice. She was amazing! Her connection to the kitties and thoughtful, conscientious approach to the care of our beloved companions set my mind at ease. It was clear from our first conversation that she was trustworthy and dependable, which was reassuring since we've never had a house-sitter. We have a senior cat who requires twice-daily medication and Erin handled all his special needs. She communicated clearly, left the house in excellent condition, and is also just a wonderful person all around!”

“Riss was fantastic! I came home to my staff/pit mix being very relaxed and comfortable. It seems like he had a nice time with riss. She was very communicative and shared updates and photos. I highly recommend! Also, the house was spotless, that’s very much appreciated”

“Emily was fantastic! She was super communicative, dependable and responsive. She watched my two dogs and two cats -- and they all adored her. I felt great leaving her in charge of everybody and will definitely hire her again when I need a petsitter.”

“Marielle took great care of our very senior (21) kitty while we were away for a weekend. And good communications on all counts. We will be calling her again!”

Janan C.

“We had never used any pet sitting service before and felt very nervous about leaving our dog. From the very first meeting, Laianna put our minds at ease and made us feel very comfortable. She made sure to ask us all about Gracie and we could see that she connected with Gracie right away. Gracie has so much energy and demands a lot of attention but from all the pictures and videos Laianna sent, it was obvious she was well taken care of! Laianna is very reliable, trustworthy and great with animals. We will definitely use her again for any future travel plans.”

“Melissa sat with my dog Stella yesterday afternoon. She arrived on time, was loving and attentive to Stella and I felt totally confident that she would be able to handle any emergency that might arise. Also, Stella loved her! I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”

About: Hi there! I’m Gaby, and I’ve been caring for beloved animal friends, including dogs, cats, (and even ducks!) for private clients over the past six years. Whether it’s a daily walk, an overnight stay, or simply some loving company while you’re away, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m reliable, experienced, and passionate about what I do, and I’m now expanding my pet care services through Rover to reach even more furry (and feathered) friends. References from long time clients are happily available upon request. I believe trust is everything when it comes to your pets. Let’s connect!

My schedule is flexible in the evenings and on weekends, which means I can accommodate night visits, drop ins, and extended weekend stays with ease. Caring for animals is a grounding and joyful part of my routine. Whether it’s early morning feeds before class, relaxing evening walks, or playful visits on weekends, I prioritize each animals' comfort and happiness as part of my daily flow. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine and trainings as consistent as possible with feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles all happen on schedule to keep them comfortable and happy. I respect your space, clean up after all visits, and make sure your pet feels calm and safe until you return.

Whether in your home or mine, my aim is to communicate clearly with updates and photos so you know your pet is in good hands.

Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with my own two dogs. I plan to provide what I do to your companions. This includes walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, and attention, making every pet feel prioritized. I work part time so I make sure to stay organized and flexible so I can provide reliable, consistent care. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow any rules or routines if asked to ensure pets feel comfortable and safe.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals. I worked for a veterinary clinic for about 2 years and have housesit/petsit for friends and family since I was able to drive. I have experience giving medicine and would have no problem doing that for you. I work as a server 4 days a week. Either at 10:30 am to 5 pm or 5 pm to midnight. For extended stays I wouldn’t be gone for more than 8 hours. I live in a no pets apartment at the moment so would need to come to you. I’m a lounger but take a long walk every day. Your pet would get some exercise and plenty of cuddles the rest of the day.

I love to take pictures to send to the owners as well so they can know their pets are being properly cared for and having fun!

“Olivia's always great. The kids are happy upon my return, she send pix while I'm away, which helps me not only feel confident that the critters are being well taken care of, but also feels like a little love letter from the dog & the cat. My preferred sitter.”

Overnights possible with advanced notice. My day job is fully flexible so availability to care for your pet is open. Day time hours are preferred with some night and weekends as needed. Feeding, bathing, medicine admin available. Drop in service or in your home care preferred as I am currently fostering and rehabilitating a rescue that needs their own space.

About: My family always had many pets in the house. From a very early age I learned how to be nurturing, caring, and dependable. I work in the human services field aspiring to be a clinical social worker. My full-time job is in children services including respite care and comprehensive case management experience. I consider myself a deeply caring individual that animals seem safe and calm to be around. Any and all ages of dogs and cats are welcome -- I will do everything I can to ensure your favorite companion is well taken care of! I think to start I would like to do weekends. I generally work 9-5pm so I can be flexible in the evenings as well. I'm open. I put the animal first, gauge their comfortability, and remain highly perceptive to behavior and environment. I have experience managing big dogs and puppies (100+) on leads, in highly populated areas (Downtown Brooklyn), and feel confident in my care-taking abilities. In the past I have babysat and nannied children. In my current role I often have home visits with my families (many of which have various species of pets).

“Colleen is a gem. A total pro- lovely, easy going, compassionate, professional, and she clearly bonded with my kitty after just one visit. She’s a pleasure and we will most definitely entrust our cat, and our home, with her in the future!”
