“Wendy was absolutely fabulous taking care of our cat, Ivy over our holiday vacation. She was extremely prompt, honoring the times we needed her to come to maintain her feeding schedule, which kept our cat perfectly at ease and free of anxiety while we were gone. Wendy goes above and beyond to send sweet updates and is just the best pet sitter we could have asked for. I highly recommend her!”

About: Hi, I’m Angelica, a lifelong New Yorker and lifelong dog lover. I bring over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I was raised with a pack of 8 Pekingese, caring for them from playful puppies to wise seniors. That experience taught me the importance of patience, attention, and unconditional love. Whether your dog is a high energy pup who needs long walks or a senior needing a slower pace and a gentle touch, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, seen, and happy. I treat every dog like family, because that’s exactly what they are. Spending time with dogs isn’t something I squeeze in, it’s a core part of how I structure my day. My routine is built around making sure each dog gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks through the park or evening check-ins, I’m fully present and flexible to meet each dog’s needs. This work keeps me active, grounded, and genuinely happy. I am available Monday-Friday from 8 am-5pm. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines. I keep things clean, follow house rules, and make sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. Whether it’s belly rubs, fetch sessions, or quiet companionship, I adapt my care to meet each pet’s personality and needs.

Upper East Side pet parents share their Rover experiences
Caroline is definitely experienced with puppies. She gives helpful advice regarding care and training
Christina was able to watch our cat in a pinch. Super responsive and friendly. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!
Joy has been a great sitter for our cat Theo! She always follows anything we ask her to do to care for him and sends pictures and updates durning her drop in. Highly recommend!
If I could give Tiffany more than 5 stars, I would. She went so far above and beyond what I ever expected from a pet sitter. While I was traveling overseas, she not only cared for my cat Kimchi with incredible attention and warmth, but also handled an unexpected health issue with total calm, urgency, and care. Tiffany noticed something was off—blood in Kimchi’s urine and more frequent litter box use—and immediately alerted me. She sent me photos, kept me updated constantly, and made herself available to check on Kimchi more often. When it became clear that Kimchi needed to see a vet and I couldn’t find anyone available to come to my apartment, Tiffany stepped up without hesitation and personally brought her to the clinic. That one act—at the last minute, and during a complicated situation—meant everything to me. I knew Kimchi was in safe, capable, and compassionate hands. Tiffany is incredibly communicative, flexible, and kind. She responded quickly, sent me regular updates and photos, and made me feel like I wasn’t so far from home. I genuinely believe she cared for Kimchi like she was her own. That kind of trust is rare, and it’s exactly why I’ll be booking Tiffany again every time I need a sitter. Thank you, Tiffany. I will not forget this.
Loretto followed all the instructions my friend and I left him and even stayed a bit longer to play with my friend’s cat. Definitely convinced my friend to download Rover after this experience and he will book Loretto for drop-ins whenever he is OOT :)
Vron is the best! She sent great pics and updates. When I returned from vacation, my cats were calm and happy.
Donna took such great care of my cat while I was away. She was super responsive and sent so many photos! Definitely will be rebooking with her in the future!
Michelle is a super friendly and loving sitter for our cat! You can truly loves and understands cats. Also she had great communication and gave regular updates with photos. I couldn't recommend her enough.
Enbar was a great sitter for Monty. She’s super reliable and responsive. She updated us each day and sent great photos of our pets. We recommend her 100%.
My cat Butter had a wonderful time with Annette! She did such a wonderful job keeping her company and giving her all the pets she needed
Mia was a wonderful cat caretaker! She was professional, arrived on-time, sent timely and thorough updates (w/ lots of photos) and made sure to play with our cats during every visit! We came back to a clean litter box, food area, and two happy kitties. Would absolutely ask Mia to sit again next time.
Lori is a great sitter! She alerted me when my cat had some health concerns and was generally communicative and helpful. She also shared very fun photos ☺️ highly recommend!
Heather was great! Very communicative and played with my cat. I felt she was in great hands, and would definitely rebook.
I’ve worked with Danielle three or four times now and she has been fantastic every single time. My cats adore her and I always feel comfortable leaving them in her care because I know I can trust her to take excellent care of them. I highly, highly recommend Danielle.
Sebastian did a great job! My cats loved him and he followed all my instructions perfectly. He’s very communicative and flexible.
Corbett did a great job taking care of my two shy cats for a few days! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
Abigail took incredible care of Dewey while I was on vacation! I would even say she is the exemplary catsitter. One of the highlights of my trip was knowing how well-cared for my cat was while I was away. Getting pictures and hearing about his behavior during each visit was beyond reassuring. Additionally, Abigail was fantastic with communication throughout the entire process. I genuinely feel a huge difference in Dewey’s behavior coming back this time after spending the week with Abigail as opposed to previous catsitters. Cannot recommend enough!
It was great working with Hayoung. She was communicative, on time and most importantly wonderful with my elderly cat, Kiki. She kept Kiki's litter box nice and tidy, combed and played with her when she visited and I loved getting photos of her daily. I'm so glad I found a dependable cat sitter in my neighborhood! I will definitely use her again.
