“Maisha was an amazing sitter for my pup! She restored my trust in the Rover platform after a couple of not so pleasant experiences…and he smelled amazing at pickup! I received morning and nightly updates with pics. Will definitely book again!!”
“We were happy to have Grace as a boarder. We had to go out of town unexpectedly and she responded promptly to our request. It was nice and comforting to see pics and videos of our dog she sent us almost daily. She appeared caring of our dog and that’s the most important thing.”
“Starry and Gio were great! I left my puppy with them for a day and everything went well :) they were always very responsive and understanding about my dog's needs (which were many given he's a small puppy). They sent multiple pictures to make sure I was tranquil I would leave Buddy with them again!”
“You can really tell as soon as you re-unite with your pup that Gabriela put your pet's needs first. I was able to relax on what should've been a super hectic weekend, knowing that my dog was getting more than enough love and attention while I was away. He had an equally energetic playmate in Mr. P all weekend to keep him more than occupied, and he sincerely made a friend for life! Gabriela will do an excellent job in whatever breed you need watching, and she will take care of it as if it were her own!”
“Jenny was great, patience, kind and communicative. She sent pictures and replied to our messages. Most importantly she was sweet to our fearful dog Tessa and made her feel safe. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Sanaz was so great for agreeing to watch Roscoe last minute. She sent update photos and messages every day. He also was in such a happy mood when I went to pick him up. Will definitely be requesting her again in the near future.”
“Rochelle took excellent care of our little fur baby and provided constant updates to how she was doing. Rochelle is also very knowledgeable helped provide insight to help us care for our cat. Excellent service and we hope to have her care for our cat again in the future.”
“Michael and Ahmed were such great sitters. They made me and Brooklyn feel so welcomed. They kept me well informed with pictures and updates while he was with them. I can tell Brooklyn was well cared for while he was with them. I definitely would recommend them to anyone looking for caring, knowledgeable, fun dog sitters.”
“Ayush was wonderful with our dog! He made sure he was comfortable in his house and that he got along with his dogs. Super communicative and sent us plenty of pics! Will definitely book with Ayush again!”
“Merin was AMAZING!! I really felt Moose was being well taken care of and left me with such peace of mind while on vacation. She was super thorough, gave constant updates, and reached out with any questions/concerns. Hands down we found our go to sitter which is the best feeling knowing I have someone to trust to take care of Moose when I need a little R&R! Thank you!!”
“Angela (and her partner Dan) took great care of Truffle. They sent meticulous updates with photos throughout the day. Truffle got to spend plenty of time outside and was very comfortable in their home.”
“Sabrina was amazing with magnolia! I’ve had unfavorable Rover experiences in the past so planned ahead and did a meet and greet. I could tell instantly how warm and genuine she is- she even read up on the notes before that meeting. I felt super comfortable heading into our weekend away. During the weekend she gave several updates and was generous with photos/ videos all descriptive of magnolias characteristics. I knew Magnolia loved her stay with Sabrina when I picked her up and she kept looking back for her to walk away with us! I will absolutely book with her again whenever she’s free!”
“Willow had the best time!!! They really were so communicative, and helpful and sent so many pictures and updates it was a relief for me! Willow has special needs and they really made sure she was comfortable and put at ease and I can’t wait to use them in the future!! Thank you!”
“Eduardo is always excellent taking care of my baby Jack. I have been using Eduardo’s services for about a year on several occasions. Jack is always well taken care of, plays with other dogs while there and Eduardo shares regular updates with pictures and video. I would trust Eduardo’s care any day!”
“Amanda sent us lots of photos and had everything packed up and ready when we arrived to pick her up. Our girl seemed happy as can be in the photos and when we picked her up. Thanks Amanda!”
“My dog was very happy when I picked him up and dropped him off. He is generally very anxious and an older dog so I am always a little wary leaving him behind but I am glad we found Michael and he had a comfortable stay at Michael's house. Michael and his wife were wonderful and always very responsive and flexible with my last minute changes.”
About: I'm a extremely nuturing individual and have had the immense pleasure of caring for pets kittens to seniors/puppies to seniors for over 25 years. I'm very hands on and i very meticulously make sure they are both comforted as well as comfortable. You will find no one more skilled in being your pets caregiver. I'm currently not working! So I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups/kittens! I'm available for boarding weekdays all day. And weekends after 3. I can take your pups to a dog park and play as I do not have a fenced yard. Also I have a play room for kitty.
“Minako & Yoshi are such wonderful, kind, caring and warm people. It was my first time to leave my Shiba Inu pup with petsitters while my husband and I went on vacation. Both Minako & Yoshi did their best to take care of our little girl whilst we were away - by making sure that Tsuki got lots of exercise and giving her the love & attention she needed in our absence. Whilst we were away, we were sent daily picture updates which really helped keep my mind at ease too! They even invited Tsuki & I out to the dog park after we returned. We are definitely looking forward to keeping a long-term relationship with Minako & Yoshi!”
“Ivette & Gonzalo were awesome! This was my first time boarding my dog through the app, and they helped me with all of my questions, were super responsive and kind, sent me photos and updates, and provided an overall great experience!”

“I will 100% hire Sydney again. She stayed at my apartment with my cat for 12 nights, taking exceptionally good care of both my pet and my home. I got frequent updates with photos. She collected the mail, including an unexpected package. My cat loved her. I came home to a place that was cleaner than I left it and a happy, healthy pet. Great care, great communication, great everything.”
“I highly recommend Dong to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter! He provided daily updates and photos which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cat, who is usually shy, quickly warmed up to him, which says a lot about his gentle and patient approach.”
“As always, Gabriela and Maidely did an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was away for the weekend. In the photos from their drop in visits, I can see just how comfortable and happy my cat is in their presence. Thank you for everything, Gabriela and Maidely!”
“AMAZING! such great communication, lots of pictures and videos and a full description of how my kitty was doing at home. Gave me peace of mind when I was traveling, thank you!”
About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience fostering kittens, mother cats with litters, and adult cats in Texas. My background includes: - Fostering: Provided care and socialization for kittens, moms with litters, and adult cats, ensuring their health and well-being until adoption. - Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR): Participated in Austin’s catch and release program, helping community cats by safely trapping, neutering/spaying, and releasing them. - Behavioral Training: Trained to read feline body language, allowing me to build trust with even the most timid or anxious cats. - Special Needs: Comfortable with administering medication, bottle-feeding kittens, and supporting cats with unique medical or behavioral needs.
About: Cats have always been an important part of my life, and I currently share my home with two Maine Coon cats. This strong bond came 9 years ago when I first adopted my cat Peanut. Caring for them has given me firsthand experience with everything from daily feeding and grooming to understanding feline behavior, body language, and individual personalities. I know that every cat is different—some love attention and playtime, while others prefer a quieter environment and affection on their own terms. I'm experienced in maintaining routines, keeping litter boxes clean, providing enrichment and interactive play, and creating a calm, stress-free atmosphere where cats feel safe and comfortable. My experience with Maine Coons has also made me familiar with the grooming needs of long-haired breeds, including brushing, coat maintenance, and monitoring for mats. Whether your cat is social and outgoing or shy and independent, I'll provide patient, attentive care tailored to their needs while keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. 🐱💕
“Lexis was amazing and took great care of my cat, Lily. Her apartment was cozy and nice for Lily too. Lexis assisted with bringing in all of Lily’s stuff: food, scratch post, toys, etc., and when I picked Lily up (even though it was very early in the morning), Lexis had all of her things ready and helped me take it back to the car. If I’m ever back that way and need a cat sitter, I will call her up. I highly recommend this kind lady! Thank you Lexis, you put my mind at ease leaving Lily with you (and it was our first time using a sitter).”
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!
“My cat has quite a few special needs, and Kobi did a great job making sure he was well taken care of! She sent pictures everyday either playing or hanging out with my cat which was awesome. I highly recommend her for all your cat sitting needs!”
“Alex and Kate took excellent care of my two kitties while I was away for an entire week. They were excellent communicators, sending several pictures and updates everyday. They are trustworthy and caring! I could not recommend them more.”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my patience and my ability to adapt to each dog’s individual needs. I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs as well as dogs belonging to friends and acquaintances while they were traveling. I am especially comfortable caring for senior dogs and dogs with cardiac conditions. I understand the importance of routine, close observation, and giving medications carefully and on time. I always follow the owner’s instructions in detail to ensure each dog’s health and well-being. I also have experience working with puppies. I know how to keep them engaged with age-appropriate activities, both indoors and outdoors, while maintaining structure and safety. In addition, I have some experience with positive reinforcement training, focusing on patience, consistency, and encouragement rather than punishment. My goal is to provide calm, attentive, and loving care so every dog feels safe, understood, and well cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work remotely and manage my own schedule, which allows me to be flexible and fully available to meet each pet’s needs. I have plenty of time to provide attention, regular walks, playtime, and any additional care a dog may require throughout the day. I’m able to adapt my routine to match the pet’s usual schedule, whether that involves frequent breaks, quiet companionship, or more active moments. Most importantly, I truly enjoy the company of animals and value the time spent with them, making pet care not just a responsibility, but something I genuinely love doing. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in my home. I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs before welcoming them into my space. Pets in my care stay in a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I closely supervise them, maintain consistent feeding and walking schedules, and make sure they always have access to fresh water and a safe space to rest. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medications, and any special care requirements. I pay close attention to details and adapt my care to each pet’s needs, whether they require extra patience, a quieter environment, or more frequent check-ins. I prioritize gentle handling, patience, and positive reinforcement at all times, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident knowing their pet is in responsible and caring hands.
“Very communicative and easy to work with. Always follows all instructions perfectly and is dependable whenever we need her. High recommendations for Alekhandra. Very quick response time too.”
“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!”
“Jazmin did a great job! She checked in on my little buddy Mosh everyday I was gone and made sure to give him lots of love and playtime! Will definitely book with her anytime I need someone to take care of my furry fwend.”
About: Growing up I grew up with bunnies, turtles, dogs and cats. Which all showed me the importance of caring and handling them. I am forever grateful for the chances I had for taking care of their pets. I am such a cat/dog lover🥰 Ever since I was little I would care for stray dogs and cats, even though my mom would always say that had rabies😭 but I never cared because they also wanted to be loved and feed. Sometimes if they wanted I would take them home and rehomed them since I currently have a male dog. My dog is currently 7 years old and most of my skills were taught because of him. ☺️ I hope you guys give me a chance to treat your pets like my family.🤭
“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: Hello! I have always loved being around cats. Taking care of them have always give me joy and have been taking care of cats over these past 2 and half years. I understand how important it is to feel at ease while you are away. I pay close attention and follow any care instructions you have. I am committed to keep your cat safe and clean. I would be happy to send any updates.
“Macie was very diligent to take care of my 2 cats. She follows instructions well and was able to exceed my expectations. I will definitely book her again.”

“Alessandra was absolutely amazing with Dottie! As a young puppy, I was a little nervous leaving her, but Alessandra made me feel completely at ease from the start. She kept me updated with plenty of pictures and messages, and was always very informative about how Dottie was doing throughout her stay. It was clear that Dottie was getting lots of love, attention, and great care, and I really appreciated how communicative Alessandra was the entire time. Knowing Dottie was happy and in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind. I couldn’t be happier with our experience and will definitely be booking with Alessandra again.

About: Hi! My name is Ashley and I am originally from Los Angeles. I grew up with three dogs who taught me how to be patient and loving. I have also spent a good amount of time dog-sitting and boarding different dogs. This has given me the experience I need in order to provide the best service for you and your dog. I am reliable and I would treat your dogs like part of my family. I work from home full time so I can easily fit a dog into my weekly routine. I am always conscious of letting dogs out frequently and taking them on longer walks before/after work. I live in an apartment and I do not have a fenced yard. However, I live close to multiple parks and would take your dog on walks a few times a day. Your dog is allowed on my furniture if they are potty trained. I usually allow dogs to sleep with me if they want to!
About: I pride myself in spreading all of my love and compassion to every animal that I come across. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Nothing makes me happier than seeing happy pets, and giving their owners peace of mind that they are in safe hands. I have hundreds of 5 star reviews, and positive references detailing my work in all types of services with many different types of animals. I will always go above and beyond to care for any pet in my care, it's what I'm ultimately passionate about. I am incredibly flexible with my schedule, I do pet services full time and I'm always open to accommodating however I can. With open communication, anything is possible! My home has a fenced backyard, with a private security system. I make sure that I keep ample treats, toys, and enrichment activities in the home and I love taking the pets out for walks or just to explore the town. If I'm offering services outside of my home, I will always treat your space with respect and make sure that every request is thoroughly taken care of.
“Eduardo is so kind, accommodating and flexible. Our pup loves going there for daycare and we get picture updates throughout the day. We can rest assured knowing he’s well taken care of! I absolutely recommend leaving your dog in Eduardo’s care.”
About: Hello my name is Nicholas and I'm a pet loving, experienced dog walker. I just received my first 5 star rating. I take great pride in providing the best pet care possible for my clients. Besides having pets growing up I was the only child. So I fully understand the value of a pet as a member of the family. I'm a full time pet care provider but more over we're a family owned business. So we provide pet care in McGinley Square and in Society Hill. Essentially we walk, board, pet visit, and doggy daycare all week. Plus on holidays. We have a backyard so the guys get run some laps and get in some much needed quality time. Plus we literally take group photos. Plenty of belly rubs to give out and fresh Poland Spring for the modern active doggo.
“Our Pote had a wonderful day staying with Allison and Lucy (new beagle buddy) with plenty of fun and walks! Allison is such a loving and caring person, will definitely ask her help again.”
“Zhiyuan is very attentive. our dog BMO has a bit of separation anxiety but he was immediately comfortable with Zhiyuan. She is absolutely fantastic and definitely will rebook since BMO loves her!!”
“Aashika was responsive and friendly and provided us with great updates! Chai had a great time playing with her dog Milo and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My household includes a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, so I'm comfortable managing everything from giant breeds and high-energy dogs to independent, affectionate cats. Living with a Doberman has given me experience with intelligent, active dogs that thrive on structure, exercise, and attention. My Great Dane has taught me the unique needs of giant breeds, including gentle handling, patience, and awareness of their size and comfort. My two Maine Coons have helped me develop an understanding of feline behavior, grooming needs, and creating a calm, enriching environment for cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I have the space and resources to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐕🐈 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, my days are already structured around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I work with a flexible schedule that allows me to be present throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, supervised play, and check-ins. Pets in my care receive regular attention rather than being left alone for long periods. My large rooftop deck also provides a convenient space for supervised outdoor time and exercise between walks. I understand the importance of maintaining consistency, so I do my best to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding times, medication schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. Whether your pet is energetic and active or prefers a quieter environment, I can accommodate their individual needs and help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. 🐾 Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax, play, and feel at home while you're away. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized large dogs—a Doberman Pinscher and a Great Dane—who are accustomed to being around other animals. I carefully manage introductions and always prioritize each pet's comfort level to ensure a positive experience for everyone. One of the highlights of my home is a spacious 1,600-square-foot private rooftop deck, providing plenty of room for supervised outdoor time, fresh air, play, and exercise. Pets are never left unattended outdoors, and all activities are monitored to maintain a safe environment. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust involved in leaving your furry family member in someone else's care. I'll keep you updated with regular photos, videos, and messages so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. 🐾
“We LOVE Jonathan. Not everyone is equipped to take care of a two month old puppy, but he so was! Jonathan kept our same feeding routine, had a backyard for Theo to go out in, he has a dog tent in his house! Just a place for the dogs to be!! His dog was a great playmate for Theo, and we really enjoyed our experience. Thanks for the videos, Theo can’t wait to come back!!”
“We have a last minute trip planned and all my regular dog sitters weren’t available, then my friend recommended Jessica since she took a good care of her cats during her trip to Europe. And I was more than glad to have booked with her — she’s caring and communicative, adapted to Shumai’s personality and needs, also took her out for plenty of walks. We will definitely go back to Jessica for the future boarding needs.”
About: I’ve been taking care of all kind of animals since I was a little girl! My family lived on a farm and had pigs, goats, dogs, cats, cows. You name it! Our Zeus is crate trained & his potty schedule is 7am, 4pm, and 10:30 pm. We listen to his signals for all other times. Let us know what routine your pets are used to now so we can accommodate! We have a dachshund & a cat that play all day. Both are acquainted to animals and love new friends. We have a huge pet friendly balcony for fresh air and Lincoln park for walkies right across the street!
About: I do Rover full time. Over the past 4 years I have been caring for close friends and family pets. So much that they dubbed me the “Jersey City Dog Whisperer”. I know that it takes kindness, respect and compassion when caring for our furry friends. I am currently working remotely full time from home. Often times, I found myself going on walks which would be miles more enjoyable with a doggo. My schedule is relatively flexible, Im not required to into the office so im home for 90%-100% of most days. I have a plenty of space indoors and a deck for outdoor play time. The deck is gated I don’t believe dogs should be on a leash while at home. Couch cuddles, walks and play time is always on the schedule. Meals are provided based on your desired feeding schedule and dietary restrictions if that’s the case.

About: I’ve taken care of my own 3 Pomeranians and 1 cat for about 5 years now. Whatever services you require are probably tasks that I’ve experienced and would be comfortable doing. My dogs are my super spoiled best friends, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I am able and available just about everyday to walk or dog sit and can work it pretty easily around my schedule as needed or requested. I walk dogs, play with them, can give medicine as directed, feed them, and just hang out with them. I am kind, gentle, and will care for your dogs with the utmost patience and respect.
“Sydney has been an excellent dog walker for Tucker! She is reliable, communicative, and always makes sure he gets the exercise and attention he needs. Tucker is always excited to see her, and I feel completely at ease knowing he’s in great hands. Highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring walker!”
“Dong is an absolutely amazing dog walker! He has been walking my pup for the past ten days, and he has been incredibly understanding and flexible, especially during the chaos of my home renovations. Dong has consistently gone above and beyond, ensuring my pup gets plenty of exercise and is always happy and well-cared for. I'm so grateful for his reliability and dedication. I highly recommend Dong to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”
About: Hello, I’m Meg! I’m an originally from Buffalo, NY, but recently moved to Jersey City for work. Anyone who knows me can say that I am passionate about my love for animals and give the best care that I possibly can. I grew up with a miniature schnauzer, and I had a cat named Dobby who passed recently due to medical issues. I currently have a bunny named Hopper who is free roam in my home and loves to spend his days lounging around, playing, and eating hay. I have worked in a veterinary office before and am comfortable handling animals of all shapes and sizes. I have also been a foster and volunteer with animal shelter and rescue groups for over 10 years. This has given me insight to medical care and understanding behavioral cues from animals to ensure their health and happiness. I would love to meet you pup or kitten and provide them exercise and companionship when you’re unavailable (trust me, I understand that everyone is busy and travels). Send me a message if you’re interested!
“Gabriela and Maidely have been wonderful with our dog. They are extremely knowledgeable about caring for pets. They are also incredibly kind, trustworthy and professional. We always know our dog is in great hands under their care.”
“Kofi is very polite, prompt, and kind. He is very understanding and considerate. I had just gotten surgery so I couldn’t walk much and he made sure he was able to meet me at my door on time. I’d highly recommend and will be booking with him again!”
“We’ve had such a great experience. My dog loves her, communication is excellent, and she’s always flexible and willing to go the extra mile. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she walks.”
About: I’ve grew up with dogs my whole life. My first dog was a rottie so I’m familiar with the rottie rumble and my other dogs were pit bulls. Animals in general read energy very well. Dogs can sense when a good person is near them. I treat dogs like little children! If boarding Friday I can take the dog out for a walk before settling in. I live in the brand new luxury apartments that has a dog yard outside. Saturday’s could be a park day or a long board walk towards Bayonne. Depending on the weather, a nice picnic or a drive in movie theater. Then pick up on Sunday! My apartment is spacious with a big bathroom. I do have a patio that is fenced. If they need to use the bathroom outside given they are trained using the weewee pads.
About: Hello! My name is Melissa. I am a lover of all animals and am hoping to add your furry family member to the list of pets that I’ve had the honor of meeting. I have grown up around cats and dogs my whole life and took this one step further by adopting my own kitty, Leo, after moving out of my parents house. He is basically my child and my philosophy with pet sitting is to provide the same care to your pet as I would for him. I have further experience with dogs as during college, I spent three years as a club member for a club that raised service dogs in training. My role in this club was being a sitter, meaning I would watch the pups (ranging from 10 weeks to 2 years old) while their raisers were away. I would spend this time practicing commands with them, walking them or taking them on playdates with other pups in the programs, or snuggle with them at my apartment. These times were some of my best memories of college. I also still help my parents when I go home to visit with my childhood dog, Charlotte. She is 15 years old, partially blind and deaf, and requires multiple oral medications daily as well as numerous potty breaks. I have additional oral/eye/ear medication experience as well as general medical knowledge through my day job as a pediatric nurse. Another cool fact is that during college, I briefly volunteered at a wild life refugee and got experience with horses, raccoons, deer, and other cool animals. Like I said- I’m a lover of all animals. I am hoping to offer my services as a way to be around more animals while respecting my cats’ wishes to not have another in the house. If you think I may be a good fit for taking care of your furry family member, please feel free to reach out. I would love to provide any additional details needed :) I will be working full time as a nurse but given that I only work 3 days a week I will have a lot of availability. The days I work do change each week but I will know in advance what days I will be working. I will do my best to earn an animal’s trust in a way that makes them comfortable, so that they feel safe in their own environment and trust me while I’m around. Whether that means an animal warms up to me right away or needs awhile along with some space before I come close to them, I can adapt to either scenario. I would also like to know about any general hiding places the animal may have when they get anxious so that if I am having trouble finding them, I know where to look. This would all be stuff I would like to communicate about with the owner ahead of time so I feel confident while sitting for their pet.
“Kate & Alex were very easy to work with and no issues to report! They were patient with my nervous pupper and I really appreciated the frequent updates.”
About: I’ve had dogs, cats and bunnies growing up! I am very knowledgeable on their care and reliable with updating you via pictures or FaceTime etc :) I am pretty flexible with morning, lunch or after hours potty breaks needs! Anything from stretching their legs or just checking in on them is important. I use to pet sit for clients in manhattan! Pet care for me included the necessary feeding schedules, potty breaks, occasionally grooming (if needed) and attention! Watching tv, going out on walks or just simply being in the company of your pet is what I can give to them to make sure he/she knows they are not alone.
About: I am new to Rover but I am not new to loving and caring for the best creatures this planet has to offer! There are genuinely not enough words to express my love for the beings that love us more than we could ever fathom! I have two cats currently and one of my babies is a senior cat I recently adopted at 9 years old. She has lung issues and I’ve been navigating taking care of her needs while showing both of my babies the attention they deserve. I also had a dog for 13 years before that and he was / will always be the love of my life. I currently work part time and go to school full time but my schedule is very organized and because of school I have the time to hang out with the fur babies while doing school work or finishing up assignments in between so it is a win/win! My care for any pet starts with love! When taking care of our dearest I assess what they need along with any specific instructions that were given. With animals you follow their lead and go with the flow that they give you. Not over thinking and just enjoying the furry friend I have the pleasure of spending time with really sums everything up.
“Maria did a great job taking care of our 9 year old Great Dane. We loved having her walk our old lady! Maria gave us the peace of mind we needed on our weekend getaway! Will re-book and recommend!”
About: I love cats and dogs, so no matter what kind of furry friends you have, we will enjoy our time together! I'm a professional dancer working in the mental health field, so I understand how important our animals can be to our lives. I am mostly free on the weekends, but I am also free after work ends at 5pm. I am very good at engaging the animals when necessary and calming them when needed, too! I have two cats at home and have taken very good care of them. I know the psychology of introducing two animals so they get along together. I had a dog when I was younger and took him on many walks. Although he was small, I have pet sat for chocolate labs and poodles, so I have experience with all kinds of animals! Do not hesitate to ask me any questions! I'd be happy to look after your pets! I have two 10 month old kittens that are brother and sister, so I feed them and take care of them every day. I have a whole set up with scratching posts, cat couches, and more to make them feel at home. I always ensure to keep unsafe objects and foods out of the reach of animals. This includes any personal items like medications. I also ensure to calmly redirect any unwanted behavior in the home through play.

“Starry and Gio were great! I left my puppy with them for a day and everything went well :) they were always very responsive and understanding about my dog's needs (which were many given he's a small puppy). They sent multiple pictures to make sure I was tranquil I would leave Buddy with them again!”

“Michael and Ahmed were such great sitters. They made me and Brooklyn feel so welcomed. They kept me well informed with pictures and updates while he was with them.

“Eduardo is always excellent taking care of my baby Jack. I have been using Eduardo’s services for about a year on several occasions. Jack is always well taken care of, plays with other dogs while there and Eduardo shares regular updates with pictures and video. I would trust Eduardo’s care any day!”
“My dog was very happy when I picked him up and dropped him off. He is generally very anxious and an older dog so I am always a little wary leaving him behind but I am glad we found Michael and he had a comfortable stay at Michael's house. Michael and his wife were wonderful and always very responsive and flexible with my last minute changes.”
About: I'm a extremely nuturing individual and have had the immense pleasure of caring for pets kittens to seniors/puppies to seniors for over 25 years. I'm very hands on and i very meticulously make sure they are both comforted as well as comfortable. You will find no one more skilled in being your pets caregiver. I'm currently not working! So I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups/kittens! I'm available for boarding weekdays all day. And weekends after 3. I can take your pups to a dog park and play as I do not have a fenced yard. Also I have a play room for kitty.

“Roman was incredible. He sent us daily pictures and videos and was very communicative. He took such great care of Luna for 2 weeks, taking her for long walks in the park. We will absolutely work with him again.”
“This is not the first time Ocean was boarded with Natalia and Paul. Definitely not the last. We are going to keep boarding Ocean with them for their cozy environment, extremely caring and company of other dogs keeping Ocean invested.”
“Pratik and his fiancée were phenomenal with our boxer, Peanut! They took a last minute booking we scheduled just over a day in advance, and he responded to my initial booking within minutes. They were so flexible, as we both arrived late to dropoff and were a couple minutes late at pickup but were so understanding. Peanut was walked and fed and absolutely loved on, and Pratik sent tons of photos. They’re close to the Holland Tunnel, making a quick pickup and dropoff location for anyone going into New York City for a day trip or a long stay. We’ll absolutely use them again!”
“Orlando and Christina were incredibly accommodating from the start and took the time to understand my dog’s needs. Throughout the week, they sent me several updates each day, which helped ease my anxiety and let me enjoy my time away. I would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring sitters!”
