“Elizabeth was incredibly communicative throughout the entire week we were away. She sent daily photos and updates, and it was clear that Edison was very well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found someone we feel completely comfortable leaving him with during longer trips!”
“Ariel is an extremely thoughtful and communicative dogsitter. From the start she asked thoughtful questions about Ollie and his typical habits. She took great care of him and sent updates along the way. Ollie was sad to part from her after just one day. He's looking forward to seeing her again soon!”
“Natalia and Paul are wonderful and reliable sitters! They love Dumpling like he’s their own, and Dumpling has such a great time playing with Kylo and the rest of the doggies that are usually there for daycare. Can’t thank them enough!”
“Jenn took such good care of my dog Nellie. She sent a lot of pictures, and it was clear that Nellie was very comfortable with her. Nellie can be a little particular about eating her food and going out on cold walks now that she’s in her senior years, but Jenn was very patient and understanding about all of that. It was also clear that Jenn read all the care information I provided. Would definitely trust Jenn to take care of Nellie again!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all personalities and ages. I’ve had my own dog since I was 14 and grew up helping take care of friends’, neighbors’, and family dogs as well. I’m comfortable with reactive dogs, shy dogs, senior dogs, and puppies, and I always try to make each dog feel safe, loved, and understood. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been the go-to dog person in my circle for years through referrals and recommendations. I love long walks, playtime, and giving dogs lots of attention and affection. I can’t have another dog of my own right now, so this is such a fun and fulfilling way for me to spend time with animals and help other pet parents feel at ease while they’re away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m open to boarding, dog walking, and check-in visits, and I love getting outside and spending time with dogs whenever I can! 😊 Every pet is different, so I always adapt my care to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Some dogs love lots of play and long walks, while others need a calmer environment and a little extra patience to feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to owners’ instructions and make sure each pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved whether I’m in their home or mine. I also love staying active with dogs through walks, playtime, and plenty of attention!!
“From the moment I dropped Billy off, I knew he was in the best hands possible with Adeel. Billy was treated like a member of their family. He was never alone for a second, surrounded by love and attention at all times. They took him on so many adventures, and it's clear that they do this out of love for dogs and their own enjoyment. Billy came home happier than ever, and I'm convinced he had the best weekend of his life. At the end of the weekend, Billy didn’t want to leave! Throughout the weekend, we received amazing photos and updates, which put our minds at ease and let us know just how much fun Billy was having. Adeel was incredibly easy to work with, super flexible, and accommodating to our schedule. We will absolutely be leaving Billy with Adeel again, and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter who goes above and beyond.”
“Grace was amazing! I left my dog with her for 10 days and she took very good care of him. She kept me updated, and sent pictures and videos so I would not miss him too much. She is very responsive. I would absolutely leave Chico with her again He was very happy when he came back home, he definitely had a good time :)”
“Maxie enjoyed the time he spent at Patricia’s house. He got to play, cuddle and be happy self. I got daily updates on his stay. Overall I’d def recommend Patricia’s service”
“We left Bucky with Sal and Troy while we were out of the country on vacation. They were our best sitters by far and we will definitely continue to reach out to them if we need a sitter. They provided daily updates and pictures for our peace of mind. I can tell that Bucky enjoyed their company as much as they enjoyed his. They were also very accommodating to certain last minute requests from us as Bucky needed daily medication and they took care of this for us. Thanks you Sal, Troy and Dixon for taking good care of Bucky!!”
“We appreciated the consistent photo updates every day, which gave us great peace of mind and saved us from needing to follow up. Thank you for taking excellent care of Rui!”
“Wai and her family were so caring, responsive, and kind. They sent so many cute photos and took him on many adventures around the neighborhood. I highly recommend her family as sitters for your pet and wouldn’t think twice about booking again!”
“Booked a last min 5 night stay for my senior golden retriever! I sent an essay of instruction and Starry + Gio did an amazing job taking care of him. It was literally the coldest winter/weekend in NJ/NY area in the past 10+ years. They kept me updated constantly with walk pics throughout the day and pics of him in general! I was very happy to know that their dog (Walnut) is a sweetheart and gets along well with my dog! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable and responsible couple to dog sit. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“Roman and Karolina were great! Super easy to coordinate with, took great care of my pup, and took a bunch of pictures. Would certainly use them again. Thank you so much!”
“Ivette was an awesome sitter for Zumba, she was also very accommodating with the drop-off and pick-up times. She sent messages as well as pics of Zumba. My fur baby was tired and happy from all the playtime and walks. I would 100% recommend her to anyone that wants a great friend to your pet while you're away. I look forward to contacting her again when we need a sitter. Thank you Ivette!”
“I’ve asked Vera to look after Haru a couple of times, and she treated him with the same love and care as if he were part of her own family. Thanks to her, I was able to travel with complete peace of mind. I’d love to ask for her help again next time, and if anyone nearby is looking for a dog sitter, I highly recommend her.”
About: As a dedicated solo pet sitter, I bring a special touch to your pet's care by drawing on my firsthand experience as a loving owner of both dogs and cats. This unique perspective allows me to understand and anticipate the specific needs and nuances of different furry personalities. Your pets won't just receive professional care; they'll benefit from the genuine affection and empathy that comes from a fellow pet enthusiast. With a home filled with my own four-legged friends, I recognize the importance of a comfortable and familiar environment, ensuring your pets feel right at home while you're away. Choose a pet sitter who not only understands but shares the same passion for pets as you do! I am available to care for a pet on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday anytime after 6 PM. I WFH on Monday and Friday so on either of those days, as well as Sundays, I could care for a pet the whole day! I am definitely willing to do overnight stays so reach out if interested! I live in a pet-friendly apartment building but do not currently have any pets of my own. In my apartment, your pets will receive top-notch care. I've pet-proofed and removed any potential hazards and I plan to prioritize the needs of the animal, whether daily exercise or socialization!
“I finally found a sitter for my pup! Karry is AMAZING. Extremely communicative, so easy to work with, sent updates and pictures consistently. I had a an issue with travel which required an additional night at the last minute and she was so understanding. Most importantly, I could tell she loved on my pup like she was her own and took great care of her. She will be our sitter moving forward. Thank you Karry! 🫶”

“Sydney was absolutely amazing! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease trusting her with our cats and our home. She went above and beyond in every way — thoughtful, reliable, and truly caring. She kept us updated, handled everything with such intention, and even took care of unexpected things with calm and compassion. It was clear how much she genuinely cared, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking again. It’s such a comfort knowing our home and our babies are in such good hands. ❤️”

“Jessica is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond for my two cats and sent so many great updates!! She is so caring and truly went above and beyond the call of duty for my Gambit and Patagonia!! If you want your pet treated like royalty call Jessica!”

She was also very flexible with her schedule, which helped me keep Milli in her regular routine and ensured she was checked on frequently.”
“Yushan took such wonderful care of our four cats. Very communicative, even got our grumpy paper tiger cat to take pets and churu when he normally hides and was very respectful of our space. Wonderful service!”
“Katie is the most communicative sitter we’ve ever had. I couldn’t recommend her more! Katie was so kind and caring towards our 2 cats, we received so many pictures and detailed recaps. Our cats adjusted to Katie si quickly, and we felt super at ease while we were away. Thank you Katie for everything!”
“Alekhandra has taken care of my cats a few times now and is consistently excellent. They move her--even the shy one! And as a bonus, I came home to a clean house even though I'm sure there were messes the cats made while I was gone, and my plants were watered and happy.”
“Without a doubt, best Rover experience my two furballs have had. The photos and Rover cards were so full of detail and Katie went above and beyond every visit to ensure my boys were taken care of. Would and will hire in a heartbeat when future needs arise!”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life! I’m currently a cat mom to a young cat named Pinto but I’ve had older cats as well in the past Absolutely love them and have experience caring for them and sitting!
“I hire Alex to drop in on my cat. He is really patient and very caring. On a short notice, he agreed to check in on an emergency. Really happy with his care. I will hire him again and recommend him.”
“Rebecca was awesome! I get a little bit nervous about all the medical treatment one of my cats needs, but Rebecca was kind enough to come over before our trip to learn how to care for them. Will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Gabriela and Maidley are the best! I know my cat is in good hands with them, and they continue to be my top choice for a cat sitter when I go away!”
“Miriam is absolutely fantastic! She took such good care of our kitty Dustin, we felt relieved knowing he was in great hands while we were away. She was really warm and friendly, super on top of everything and communicative, and sent us such cute pictures of our little guy each day we were away. So thankful to her for all of her amazing support!”
“Melissa is absolutely wonderful! This is my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She made sure to send me photos, videos, and updates each visit, and I felt incredibly comfortable with her in my home! You can tell she truly cares and interacts with your pet. Absolutely recommend, and will use her in the future to watch my little guy!”
About: I am an animal lover to my core and am sure that I will have as much fun with your pets as they will have with me! I know what an important part of the family pets are, so rest assured nothing is more important to me than your pets’ safety and happiness. Aside from my family’s own pets, I have previously pet sat puppies, kittens, adult dogs and cats, and senior dogs for friends on numerous occasions. I have fairly open availability for pet care. Other than the days I am required to be in the office for work (Tu/Wed/Th), I have very little obligations that would interfere with care. Pets are members of the family and should be treated as such! Maintaining a safe and comfortable environment is of the upmost importance. Having dog friendly space in the home, the availability of a plethora of toys, or making sure each walk is engaging and fun - whatever the pet needs to be happy and taken care of.

“Horatio loves doggy daycare and overnighters it gives him a chance to see his friends and meet new ones. When he gets home he passes out because I guess he stayed up playing all day. If your looking for a daycare or over nighter they will be well taken care of like it was there very own. Horatio and I love you guys...see you soon😘”
About: Pets have been a huge part of my life, caring for them within my family or through friends. I love to walk, run and play to keep them active as I can. I also have experience in dog sitting puppies, big dogs and older dogs! I work a hybrid schedule, spending 3 days a week at the office in NYC and the rest of the week at home in Hoboken. On remote days, I’m flexible to take pups out for long walks and breaks. I’m also available for overnight stays throughout the week if you need! When caring for any clients pets, I will make sure to ask any and all questions to ensure their pet is in safe hands. I will respect their home and follow any instructions they give me to build our trust and to make sure their pet is satisfied.
“Aashika was quick to accommodate my last-minute request for daycare. She’s great at communicating and sent updates and photos throughout the day. Waffles enjoyed his time at Aashika’s so much that he didn’t want to come home when I picked him up!!”
About: I prefer to host only one family at a time. This ensures your dog gets my undivided attention and doesn't have to compete with other strange dogs for space or affection. I work from home full-time (except Wed and Thu), which means your dog becomes my 'office mate' for the day. They won't be left alone or crated while I'm at work; instead, they'll have my constant companionship. My schedule is flexible enough to allow for bathroom breaks every 2–3 hours. We utilize the dog playground right outside my apartment for active play. Since it’s so close, we can head out for 15–20 minute bursts of exercise several times a day, rather than just one long walk.
“Vera was a great sitter to sesame. She was extremely thorough, asked questions and very caring to sesame especially when it comes to his anxiety. Sesame seemed to get comfortable around Vera very quickly. Definitely recommend Vera”

We’re Tiffany and Deibi — a husband-and-wife team providing personalized, small-scale dog care in Hell’s Kitchen. We know being away from your pup isn’t always easy, which is why our goal is simple: create a stay that feels safe, fun, comfortable, and as close to home as possible.

We also welcome meet & greets before booking so both you and your pup can feel comfortable and confident ❤️ We have years of experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, energy levels, and needs. We Have Experience with: • Puppies & young dogs • Senior dogs • Anxious dogs or dogs with separation anxiety • Dogs who require oral medications (if applicable) • Dogs who benefit from slower introductions or calmer environments For us, caring for dogs is genuinely therapeutic. Their trust, joy, personalities, and silly little moments bring so much happiness into our home, and we genuinely love creating a space where they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Dog care is part of our everyday routine.

Between walks, cuddles, playtime, and fun breaks, your furry friend becomes part of our home rhythm! What Makes Our Home Special: 🐾 Small-scale care — We intentionally host a limited number of dogs so every pup receives personalized attention, supervision, and space to feel comfortable.

“I wish I had found Ninoska sooner!! From the very first message, she was incredibly responsive and kind. When I dropped off Barto, he instantly felt at ease with her — which says a lot. Throughout the day, she sent me photos and videos, and I could clearly see how happy and comfortable he was. That brought me so much peace of mind! Now I’m just so happy (and relieved!) to have found a safe, loving place where Barto feels truly cared for. Thank you so much, Ninoska, for all the love and attention — we will definitely be coming back always!”
“Amanda is amazing with my Coco. I trust her fully with my baby and my Coco loves being with her . She gets super excited when she sees Amanda and that makes me feel good about having Amanda watch my precious fur baby . Amanda is attentive to all of Coco’s needs and keeps me updated . 5-Stars is not enough. 10 stars for Amanda !”
“Chi was great! I was able to make a last minute booking (<24 hours). Very communicative and patient. Loved receiving updates with photos and videos throughout the day. Would definitely book again!”
“I’m really glad I chose Yutong for daycare with my energetic little poodle. He was very attentive and reliable, asking all the right questions about my dog’s character, sharing photos throughout the day, and keeping me updated on how things were going. My dog came home happy after spending the day with him, and I’ll definitely be coming back!”
“This was my first experience with rover and notably I was kinda worried. With that being said Maria was a super star!!!! She made me feel super comfortable and sent me tons of dog photos!!! I’ll definitely be using her in the future.”
“I cannot recommend Pratik enough! He watched my puppy(Tofu) for the day and waa absolutely fantastic. Since he's still young, I am always a bit nervous, but Pratik sent regular updates and photos that put my mind at ease. It’s clear that he has a genuine love for animals and knows how to handle that puppy energy. Tofu came home happy, well-cared for, and ready for a nap. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Melissa has been wonderful with my dog Willow! Willow is very comfortable and she’s excited to spend the day with Melissa. Melissa is very acommondating and communicative.”
About: I provide the ultimate combination of care, attention, and fun for your furry friend. I go on walks outside during the day, and my building has a convenient dog run in case it’s rainning. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages and energy . I did many training classes with a professional trainer in order to train my golden retriever. I am always around to ensure your dog is never lonely and gets all the attention they need. Your pup will be in a loving, safe, and active environment! I am home all day and able to provide constant attention to the dogs in my care. I take frequent breaks throughout the day for walks, ensuring the dogs get plenty of exercise and fresh air. In addition to our daily walks, the dog run in my building is a perfect spot for quick play sessions. My flexible schedule means I'm always around to meet your dog's needs! In my two-bedroom apartment, there is plenty of space for your dog to feel at home. With regular walks, access to the building’s dog run, and plenty of playtime, your dog will have a balanced mix of exercise and relaxation. I also have two friendly dogs, a two year old Golden Retriever, and another Golden Retriever whom I adopted in October 2025 (puppy). My 15 year old Shih Tzu crossed the rainbow bridge on 1/24/2026. He required multiple medications, so I am experienced in caring for senior dogs. Since I work from home, I am always present to provide attention and care throughout the day, ensuring your dog is never alone.
“She was amazing with my dog! He loved her when he first saw her, and the videos tell me he felt comfortable around her. There were frequent updates with photos and videos, it made me feel safe :)”

“Alison was incredibly patient with my new rescue dog, Olive, who tends to need a bit of time to warm up to people. She took some time to give Olive some treats and get to know her prior to taking her out for the walk which was so appreciated! I am excited to have her take Olive on more walks.”
“Sydney was great with Atlas. She was punctual, professional, personable and a went above and beyond to ensure my pup was comfortable and enjoyed his walk with her.”
“Kaitlin was great with Cody, our senior cockapoo. I left Cody with my senior parents and Kaitlin walked him 2x a day for 10 days. I would definitely book her services again.”

About: We’re a young, pet-loving couple with experience caring for dogs—especially since we have a sweet 2-year-old Yorkiepoo at home! Your pup will always have a friendly companion to play with. We treat every dog like family, giving them lots of love, attention, and care. We’re patient, responsible, and love building trust with both pets and their people.

After summer break, we’re available Friday nights and weekends to give your pup the care they deserve. We care deeply about each dog and always follow the client’s requests closely. While we live in an apartment, we’re just steps away from a large park, so your pup will get plenty of outdoor time and walks. Whether at our home or yours, we provide attentive, loving care based on your dog’s unique needs and routine.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and almost always have had a cat, so I love them both ❤️ I have two 75lb pitbull babies, so I can also take care of the big dogs if you need! We can go on sniff walks, go to the dog park or if your dog likes space from other dogs, I can do that too. Whatever you and your pets prefer I’m happy to help! I’m in between jobs at the moment, so my availability is very open. I’m free any weekday and the weekends are pretty flexible! I’m happy to make home visits!

About: I’ve had animals since I was a kid but miss pups since I moved to Manhattan/JC area 4+ years ago. I grew up with a golden retriever and got a second family golden during COVID. I’ve always had dogs, cats and horses of my own as well as spent most of my teenage to adulthood cat and dog-sitting for neighbors, friends and family. I have 2 cats here but truly miss spending time with pups. Looking for a walking buddy so we can both benefit from it! I do have a corporate job which limits some daytime flexibility but am flexible for same day or planned bookings! I truly just miss spending time with dogs and love walking and exploring the city. I am free weekends, early mornings and days after 6pm, with the occasional lunch time flexibility. I love walks or runs depending on energy levels and comfortable with dogs of all temperaments, even around the hustle and bustle of the city/other dogs.
About: I have over 15 years of experience with dogs. I volunteered at the Peninsula SPCA throughout high school, and the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA throughout college as a dog walker. Additionally, I served as a kennel assistant at a local vet for several summers where I helped care for over 50 dogs of all breeds and sizes at the boarding facility. Most recently, I have been walking dogs through Wag for the past 4 years and have hundreds of five star reviews. I have 1 dog, Java, who is 8 pounds and he LOVES other dogs. I’d love to take care of your fur babies! I am a PhD student and work from home. I prioritize my dog and take pet care very seriously. We love taking walks, going to the dog park, and being outside. I am warm, caring, and have attention to detail. I make sure that your pet is cared for in the way you advise. I let pets on the couch and bed.
About: Hello! I’m Sarah. As the oldest of four siblings, I grew up as the primary caretaker for our family’s many dogs and cats. Eventually, this turned into me petsitting for friends and family! I absolutely love animals and caring for them. I’ve walked dogs, bathed them, have administered medication, and have even given a multi step skincare routine to one of the dogs that I’ve worked with! I’m currently an online graduate student studying to become a school librarian, so my schedule is completely open! I’m very flexible and can travel into NYC as well. I always treat pets with patience and kindness first! This comes from my background in childcare, which requires, I would argue, much more patience than working with dogs or cats. I’ve babysat quite a bit, doing overnight visits even. I’ve always prioritized cleanliness and consideration in these situations.
“Alekhandra is great. Very punctual, my dog loves her, and she always spends good quality time with her during the length of the service. I appreciate the photos she takes and her notes on the walk. My go to walker.”

“Natalia and Paul are wonderful and reliable sitters! They love Dumpling like he’s their own, and Dumpling has such a great time playing with Kylo and the rest of the doggies that are usually there for daycare. Can’t thank them enough!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all personalities and ages. I’ve had my own dog since I was 14 and grew up helping take care of friends’, neighbors’, and family dogs as well. I’m comfortable with reactive dogs, shy dogs, senior dogs, and puppies, and I always try to make each dog feel safe, loved, and understood. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been the go-to dog person in my circle for years through referrals and recommendations. I love long walks, playtime, and giving dogs lots of attention and affection. I can’t have another dog of my own right now, so this is such a fun and fulfilling way for me to spend time with animals and help other pet parents feel at ease while they’re away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m open to boarding, dog walking, and check-in visits, and I love getting outside and spending time with dogs whenever I can! 😊 Every pet is different, so I always adapt my care to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Some dogs love lots of play and long walks, while others need a calmer environment and a little extra patience to feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to owners’ instructions and make sure each pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved whether I’m in their home or mine. I also love staying active with dogs through walks, playtime, and plenty of attention!!
“From the moment I dropped Billy off, I knew he was in the best hands possible with Adeel. Billy was treated like a member of their family. He was never alone for a second, surrounded by love and attention at all times. They took him on so many adventures, and it's clear that they do this out of love for dogs and their own enjoyment. Billy came home happier than ever, and I'm convinced he had the best weekend of his life. At the end of the weekend, Billy didn’t want to leave! Throughout the weekend, we received amazing photos and updates, which put our minds at ease and let us know just how much fun Billy was having. Adeel was incredibly easy to work with, super flexible, and accommodating to our schedule. We will absolutely be leaving Billy with Adeel again, and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter who goes above and beyond.”
“We left Bucky with Sal and Troy while we were out of the country on vacation. They were our best sitters by far and we will definitely continue to reach out to them if we need a sitter. They provided daily updates and pictures for our peace of mind. I can tell that Bucky enjoyed their company as much as they enjoyed his. They were also very accommodating to certain last minute requests from us as Bucky needed daily medication and they took care of this for us. Thanks you Sal, Troy and Dixon for taking good care of Bucky!!”
“Booked a last min 5 night stay for my senior golden retriever! I sent an essay of instruction and Starry + Gio did an amazing job taking care of him. It was literally the coldest winter/weekend in NJ/NY area in the past 10+ years. They kept me updated constantly with walk pics throughout the day and pics of him in general! I was very happy to know that their dog (Walnut) is a sweetheart and gets along well with my dog! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable and responsible couple to dog sit. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“Ivette was an awesome sitter for Zumba, she was also very accommodating with the drop-off and pick-up times. She sent messages as well as pics of Zumba. My fur baby was tired and happy from all the playtime and walks. I would 100% recommend her to anyone that wants a great friend to your pet while you're away. I look forward to contacting her again when we need a sitter. Thank you Ivette!”
“I finally found a sitter for my pup! Karry is AMAZING. Extremely communicative, so easy to work with, sent updates and pictures consistently. I had a an issue with travel which required an additional night at the last minute and she was so understanding. Most importantly, I could tell she loved on my pup like she was her own and took great care of her. She will be our sitter moving forward. Thank you Karry! 🫶”
“I had an amazing experience with Sophia as the caretaker for Sasha, my Malinois Belgian Shepherd. She took phenomenal care of her—great communication all the way through. Every day, she sent me videos and pictures from their walks, which really gave me peace of mind. She kept Sasha active and happy, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend her services”
“Very careful dog sitter with great communication! And always keep updates of pictures and videos so you know what your dog is up to and how it’s enjoying its stay at the sitter’s place.”
“It was great booking with Orlando and Christina again. They were very accommodating while boarding our dog when we went out of town for a few days. They sent pictures and maintained communication with us throughout his stay!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 15 — from my childhood poodle who was with me for 14 years, to my current 1.5-year-old Australian Shepherd who loves having company. We have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. As two freelancers who work from home, we are available to give your pup lots of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. We live in a pet-friendly apartment close to parks and dog runs, and we often take weekend trips to bigger parks. Your pup will be treated like family here! Our work time is very flexible and adjust base on your requests. We usually walk my dog three times a day, at least 20 mins per time to give them enough time for socialization in their own ways. We are huge dog lovers and treat all little guests as part of the fam! We provide constant attention, playtime, and regular potty breaks. We follow each dog’s feeding and exercise routine closely and keep owners updated with daily photos and messages. We live in a clean, dog-friendly apartment with plenty of space for lounging and playing. There’s a fenced dog park nearby for off-leash fun, and we also take relaxing walks around the neighborhood and to larger parks on weekends. Our 2-year-old Aussie is friendly and playful—he loves making new friends!
“She did a wonderful job of looking after my dog. Made sure that she did as much as possible to make him feel safe and welcome in her home. He was well looked after and she sent plenty of videos and photos of him.”
About: I’ve watched, walked and babysat my friends, neighbors, and relatives pets for my whole life!

I was recently laid off so in between jobs I’d love to hang with your fur baby whenever needed!! I’m very flexible and am in the area all week and on weekends. Also willing to come late night or early mornings if need be. :) I have a building with an elevator where plenty of other folks have friendly pets. My apartment is decent size with a bedroom where I could crate off your fur baby if needed. My space is super cozy and safe and has both carpeted and wood flooring areas. We also live right next to the dog park in Hoboken and would feel comfortable bringing your fur baby to play if that’s their jam!
