About: Your pup gets 100% undivided attention. I unfortunately do not own my own dog, nor do I have any kids, but because of that your dog isn’t just “another member of the pack”. I have spent a lot of time another my extended families dogs and friends dogs and when your dog is with me I am happy to provide endless belly rubs, focused play time and a calm and comfortable environment! I love early nights and quiet weekends and have a flexible work schedule that allows me to be present when I am working from home. I live in a one bedroom apartment, one flight up! I have a dedicated area for furry friends. And am only 2 streets from the river walk and a few blocks from the nearest dog park!
About: I grew up with dogs in my home and as an animal lover, I took on as much of the responsibility as I could. I worked as a pet, baby, and house sitter for all of high school and college, and was always excited to spend time with new breeds & learn the specific quirks and personality of all the pets I got to care for. I am experienced in administering and monitoring medication for sick or old pets (family dog lived with endocarditis for many years and cat sitting client with diabetes) and am extremely detail oriented when it comes to following owners’ instructions. I work from home with extreme flexibility 3 days a week, and am free most weekend days as well. I am able to quickly shift my schedule to meet client needs, and am always excited to do so! I live in a dog friendly apartment with plenty of other pups on the go in the lobby and elevators, and my apartment is about 1200 sqft with room to play. I walk about 10 miles a day to enjoy and explore the city, and love finding new places to see. Walking pets and pet sitting in neighborhoods I don’t spend a lot of time in is a wonderful way to achieve this while getting to care for some of New York’s best pups.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 9 years old, between dog walking in my neighborhood and owning family pets and then my own cats in college I miss having animals around. I absolutely love both dogs and cats and stop any time I can to say hi to animals on my walks. I take daily walks anyway and this way I can make sure your pets gets the exercise they need and I can get the stress relief that animals bring! I do work a full time job with quite normal hours but I also have telework days throughout the week. I am completely open on the weekends and open in the evenings. I am open to early morning walks prior to work and walks in the evening when I come home as early at 5:30pm. It is important to set boundaries of what is important for you and your pets. I like to meet the animal(s) prior to the first walk/drop in just to make sure everyone is comfortable. We will make sure to set very clear instructions for both parties to make this as smooth as possible!
“Downloaded the app because I was going out of town for the 1st time since the pandemic began; and the first time me leaving my car by herself for more than 10 hours. I came across Lola’s profile and booked her for 3-4 visits. She was absolutely amazing and did a wonderful job sitting my cat. She was very communicative and provided lots of assurance that eased my anxiety. My cat LOVED her! I will definitely be booking her again as I begin to book more trips. Thank you Lola !!”

About: I love animals. Dogs are my favorite. Dogs are some of the purest beings on the planet and I haven't met a single dog I didn't like. When I take care of your pet, you can be certain that I am taking great care of your beloved friend. I take great pride in my petcare and love to make a pet feel happy and loved. I've had dogs throughout my life and all of my dogs have been loved and well-taken care of. I enjoy teaching dogs new tricks and giving them treats for good behavior. I definitely am a fan of positive reinforcement and use it as often as possible to reinforce good behavior in dogs. I enjoy the training part as much as the actual tricks part. I am a lawyer. I am taking some time off to destress. Walking and taking care of dogs will do that. I enjoy the exercise and so do they. I treat dogs with great care and consideration. I am a mindful person who asks questions and follows instructions. I take pet care very seriously.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Union City
Vanessa has watched Frankie, our 3-month old mini-Aussie with boatloads of energy, twice now, and both times have been absolutely amazing. Frankie loves getting to play and run around with Vanessa, and has even learned new tricks! We really appreciate Vanessa's time and patience and would recommend her to anyone in need of a caring petsitter!
Melissa was amazing and we will definitely book her again. She was so sweet with our new pup Stella and really helped us out in a pinch when our previous dog walker couldn’t make it. She sent great photos and detailed recaps of their walks and play time every day. Communication was quick and easy. She even sent pics and interacted with our cat whom she was not looking in on. Thank you so much Melissa!!
Martina took wonderful care of my dogs and gave them the attention they needed. It was clear she genuinely cared about them, and I felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I’d happily book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive dog sitter.
Sarah was fantastic! My arrival time kept changing—from 3 PM to 5 PM and then 6 PM—and she was incredibly flexible and worked around my schedule without any issue. Communication was excellent, she was punctual, and she followed my requests exactly, including simply sitting outside and keeping my dog company. She was kind, pleasant, and very easy to work with. I’d absolutely recommend her!
