About: My goal is to create a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners while building trust and lasting relationships. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks or prefers a slower pace, I adapt my care to what makes them happiest. I’m available for boarding throughout the week and available for morning and afternoon walks before 3. My off days are Monday and Tuesday. My schedule is also flexible at work If accommodation is needed. I keep a clean and pet-friendly environment where they can settle in easily and feel at home. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions you provide. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision throughout their stay.

They were very friendly and professional. Everything went smoothly as expected.

About: I’ve cared for dogs through every stage of life—from energetic puppies who needed patience, consistency, and structure, to senior dogs who required extra attention, gentleness, and specialized care. Most recently, I helped care for my family’s dog throughout her senior years until the end of her life, which taught me the importance of compassion, patience, and paying attention to the small changes in a dog’s behavior and needs. I’m a very patient, responsible, and caring person, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I also believe walks should be enjoyable for them, not just exercise, so I let dogs safely stop and sniff as much as they want. It’s great mental enrichment and lets them experience the world at their own pace. My goal is simple: to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and excited to spend time with me. I’m currently between jobs, so I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. Rather than trying to fit walks or visits around a busy workday, I can focus on each dog’s routine, whether that’s longer walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or simply providing companionship. I also recently lost my family’s dog, so I truly miss having a dog in my life. Pet sitting is a meaningful way for me to stay active, spend time outdoors, and give dogs the love and attention they deserve while helping provide peace of mind for their owners. I understand that every dog has different routines, personalities, and comfort levels, so I always take the time to follow the owner’s instructions carefully. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, consistency, and making the dog feel comfortable. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, avoid unsafe situations or interactions if needed, and pay close attention to their behavior and energy level. At home, I make sure they have fresh water, follow feeding and medication schedules exactly, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and keep the environment clean and safe. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.
“Pamela was absolutely fantastic! My dog is a rescue and he can be a bit nervous and shy and she knew exactly how to make him comfortable. She sent me lots of photos and updates. 10/10!”
About: I have one dog myself who is a rescue, Simon, 7 years old. He is a mix breed, medium size, but I am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I work mostly from home so I am home a lot and have flexible time for walks and playtime. I live about 15 mins walk from Central Park so that’s where I usually go for dog walks. We also like to go to Carl Schurz and Ruppert Park which are about 10-15 mins walk. For bad weather days, I can take them down to the dog run in my apartment complex. We have a cute little dog park area just for our building. All gated and safe. In my home, Pets are allowed on couches and beds and plenty of toys all around to play with. In a clients home, I will follow their house rules and suggestions for play.
“This was the first time we left our puppy with a pet-sitter. Marina did a great job, sent photos and updates. They also accommodated our last minute plan change. Our puppy was given a great care and is very happy ❤️”
“Elena was able to take Kiwi last minute while I had a family emergency. Not only was she able to step in, she did an amazing job with Kiwi. I knew Kiwi was safe, all her meds were given to her exactly as needed and she got all of her daily walks! I got updates and pictures, Kiwi had a great time with her 🩷 I would absolutely use Elena again, I feel lucky to have found her. I highly recommend Elena for any pup but she did especially great with my sensitive, high maintenance girl.”
“Wes was excellent! We left Oreo with him for 18 days and my dog was very happy. When my flight got cancelled, Wes was very accommodating and he stayed with Oreo one more night. Thanks for everything, Wes!”
“Anthony and his roommate were great. Anthony was very nice and sent me some good pictures of Luna. They were flexible with the scheduling and took good care of her. I'll definitely be staying in touch with them.”

“Candice was so great! One of our cats is a bit of a criminal mastermind, and he kept knocking over his auto feeder, but Candice made sure it was plugged in and secure during check-ins and was communicative during the process so we didn’t worry! We got photos every day, which was great and reassuring. Would highly recommend using Candice as a sitter :)”
“Laura is a great communicator, was available on short notice and arrived to the appt on time. Stanley, our cat, looked comfortable and relaxed in all the photos Laura sent.

About: Hi! I’m a graduate student in Clinical Mental Health Counseling based in Astoria, offering attentive and respectful in-home cat care. I understand that cats thrive on routine, familiarity, and calm energy. When caring for your cat, I prioritize maintaining their normal schedule while minimizing stress. Whether your cat is social and playful or independent and reserved, I adjust my approach to match their personality and comfort level. During drop-in visits, I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, enrichment or play (if welcomed), and a careful check of the home before leaving. I’m attentive to subtle behavioral cues and changes in appetite, energy, or litter box habits, and I’ll communicate clearly with updates and photos so you feel fully informed while you're away. I respect that allowing someone into your home and into your cat’s space is a big decision. My goal is to provide calm, reliable care so both you and your cat feel secure.
“Hayley was a perfect sitter! She took great care of our cat and sent thorough reports after every visit. She was very responsive and followed our instructions perfectly. We hope to have her help us out again next time we are out of town!”
“Eileen was an amazing catsitter! Super reliable, communicative, and very caring. I loved the updates and photos, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in great hands. Would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”

“This was my first experience on Rover and I took a chance on Karalyn who proved to be responsible and professional. She sent daily pics and messages so that I could enjoy my long weekend without worry. When I got home I found my cats fine, food and water in their bowls, and a recently cleaned litter box. Thanks Karalyn!”
“Kaili is amazing, as always. Our cats love her and so do we! Our high energy cat looks forward to seeing her and our opposite of any energy cat is even willing to play when in her care. Don’t hesitate!”
“Diane was such a gem for my whole time away. We had a mishap with my keys (totally my fault) and she was so helpful and understanding. My cat also requires quite the concoction of food every day and she mastered it easily. I didn’t feel worried the entire time I was away- will definitely be booking again!”
“Erin took amazing care of my kitties, making sure to play and cuddle with them while I was away. From the photos she shared each visit, they clearly appreciated the attention and most tellingly, they were relaxed and happy when I arrived home after a week, which means her visits really calmed them. She kept their litter and food area clean too! I’m so grateful for and happy with her care.”
“Devon was a wonderful cat-sitter. She was timely for every check in and made sure to send me thorough updates about my cat’s eating habits and his mood. She also gave him plenty of exercise and sent me pictures after every visit. Walter (my cat) loved her! I will definitely be re-booking her services!”
About: Cats hold a special place in my heart! I understand that every cat has their own personality—some love lots of playtime and cuddles, while others prefer quiet companionship. I’m skilled at reading feline body language and giving them the space or affection they want. I can also handle litter box maintenance, feeding routines, and administering medications if needed. My goal is to keep your cat comfortable and content in their own environment.
“Sarah was a wonderful sitter to our two cats! Friendly, hypercommunicative, and took great photos. Our cats loved her and were in great shape when we got back, as was the house.”
“Tessa did a great job with our two cats who had never been on their own with a sitter before. They warmed right up to her! She is highly communicative and did a great job handling their little quirks and routines. Thank you!!”

“Jessica was so easy to communicate with and she made sure to give me lots of updates and pics of our pup! Would definitely rebook if we’re in the area”
“Melissa was responsive to my messages as a new Rover customer. She looked after my dog well and was able to accommodate on short notice. Her home is very clean and spacious living room for my small dog to walk around. I recommend her.”
“Stacey and Andrew were fantastic with my girl, Sol! 💕 They sent regular photo updates, kept me in the loop throughout her stay, and were incredibly helpful when I needed care on short notice. The best part was seeing how comfortable Sol was with them! Every photo made it clear she was happy, relaxed, and getting plenty of love (I think she spent most of the stay on Stacey's lap! 🤣). I'd absolutely trust Stacey and Andrew with Sol again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable sitters. Thank you!”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also fostered dogs with a wide range of temperaments and behaviors. For every dog I've taken care of, I make sure to adapt to each of their needs, routines, and comfort level. I aim to provide patient, attentive care so every dog feels safe and comfortable. I'm currently working from home so I'll be available to your dog at all times. I usually walk my dog at least 3 times a day. Happy to adjust to whatever your dog may need! I keep a variety of dog toys available for your dog's entertainment, and I have a small/medium-sized crate available if your dog is crate trained or prefers having a quiet space to relax. Generally, I try to follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at home.
“Eleanor is very thorough and provided the best standard of care to Dante! She provided multiple updates throughout the visit and made sure Dante got everything she needs, from food to treats to potty breaks and long walks. She really cares and I will definitely be booking again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and been a dog owner since I was 10 years old. I love caring for them and providing fun, comfort and companionship! I work from home so am very flexible with days & times. In addition to being home all day, my work schedule is flexible so not too bogged down at my desk all day. Lots of time to walk and play! I have a big, comfortable, quiet apartment. I live right near Carl Schurz park and about 20 minutes from Central Park - great for walks :)
“Sonia is amazing! Dalbit loved her space - I feel good knowing he has a great outdoor area to play. She sent me tons of videos and photos during the day. Definitely recommend her!”
“I can't say enough great things about Seung! He took care of my dog, Hunter, as if he were his own. Not only did Seung make sure Hunter was happy and well-cared for, but he also went above and beyond in every way. He didn’t just stick to the basics — Seung brought Hunter along for errands (which Hunter loved), took him on exciting trips to the dog park, and made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. It was clear from the updates and photos that Hunter was having an amazing time and was completely comfortable with Seung. I felt totally at ease knowing my dog was in such kind, attentive, and capable hands.”
“Nicholas responded so quickly to our late request even though he wasn’t home to take care of Ginny himself - his family stepped in and took such great care of Ginny like she was their own! Super nice people who I could tell are compassionate dog lovers. They were very patient and kind to Ginny even though it takes a minute for her to warm up to new people. And Ginny ended up being pooped out when we picked her up which is always a huge plus🤣Would definitely recommend!”
“Basil seemed to have the time of his life with Wei Han & her pup! Loved seeing photo updates throughout the day, would definitely love to rebook in the future :)”
“Carlos was very responsive and communicative! He took Charlie on long walks, sent regular updates, and his dog seems like a sweetheart who is very friendly with other pups.”
“We were visiting NY for summer vacation with our doggy from NS, Canada and were very worried about sitter for doggy as they’re not allowed in most of the sight seeing places. Angelina took care of Bow even though it was last minute booking and was really friendly in taking care of big dog like Bow. Right from sending pictures of Bow to responding to messages, she’s prompt and kind. I would highly recommend her as a sitter.”

I want you to feel completely comfortable and confident leaving them in my care. I’ve also included a few photos of my home, along with my sweet Maxie, whom I recently lost to cancer, so you can get a sense of the environment

The patio is where the pups love to explore and lay out on in the sun. It is cleaned off daily and deep cleaned weekly.

“It was my first time hiring a dog walker for Fuji and I must admit, I was very nervous. However, Marissa was phenomenal, I can’t recommend her enough. She over communicated, she was super patient, very helpful, punctual and kept my mind at ease while I was away. Fuji really enjoyed her too! Thank you again, Marissa!”
“Responded within 20 minutes for an hour-away last-minute walk request. Made sure to check for any medical issues. Arrived right on time and took the whole requested time. Not a rushed walk, went fully around the park I live by, made sure to let her chase squirrels! :) No issues with instructions on how to get into apartment, put everything right back after leaving. Efficient and personable communicator. Took some amazing pictures of my dog! Hoping to schedule her again today.”
“We booked Alexandra to walk our dog while we were out of town for the weekend and she was great. She made sure to notify us about everything. Even when she had troubles with her phone she she made it a priory to tell us and still was quick to respond to any message. If you get her your pup will be in good hands!”

We don’t know what we’d do without Vivian!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous about having a stranger walk my dog. My dog fell in love with Passang the moment she met her. I couldn’t be happier. I knew right away that she’d be in good hands. I could tell that she genuinely loves animals and loves what she does. Thank you Passang, you were amazing, Mia can’t wait to walk with you again.”
About: I have two cats at home in Michigan who I love dearly and take care of: cleaning litter boxes, feeding, playing, etc. I also grew up with medium-sized dogs, love dogs oh so much, and have experience with their care as well: taking outside, going on walks, feeding, playing, etc. No explicit professional experience, but I can’t wait to gain some!!!! I love animals with every bone in my body :) I am a barista almost full-time and an aspiring actor, so auditions are a heavy part of my schedule. Shorter tasks and small drop-in visits are best for me! I love pets and treat them with so much love and care. There is nothing more special to me than the love of an animal, and I will do anything needed to keep their routine consistent and fun!

“Thank you, Beautifull, for taking such incredible care of my dogs! I am forever grateful for everything you did while I was away. She cared for my two senior dogs for an entire week and kept me updated every step of the way. She sent me photos during their walks and regularly checked in with updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Whenever anything came up, she let me know right away. Since my dogs are seniors, they experienced some anxiety being away from home and even had a little stomach upset, which can happen when they’re stressed. She handled everything with so much patience, care, and compassion, and made sure I was informed throughout the entire stay. It was clear that she genuinely cared about their well-being and treated them like they were her own. Knowing they were in such loving hands allowed me to truly enjoy my trip without constantly worrying about them. I trust her completely and will absolutely book with her again in the future. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, communicative, compassionate, and truly loves animals, I cannot recommend her enough. Your pets will be in amazing hands!”

“Laura was so friendly and sent pictures everyday for our golden retrievers week long stay. Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future!!”
“Mariia was amazing. She offered a meet and greet prior to booking which I really enjoyed and it provided peace of mind. My dog Milo had never boarded before this was his first time, she sends videos and pictures. She also answers messages very promptly. She is our go to dog sitter from now on, I appreciate her very much.”
“Suleyma was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Mo! She gave great updates and sent plenty of pictures, which kept my mind at ease. She made sure Mo got tons of play time, too. I highly recommend her and trust her with Mo anytime!”
About: I’ve been a proud Yorkie mom for 11 years now and have cared for dogs and cats my entire life. Growing up with pets taught me the importance of responsibility and understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. I’m experienced with small and giant dogs, daily routines, companionship, and providing a safe home environment. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I work only three days a week, which allows me to be home often and provide companionship, and care for your dog. I’m happy to accommodate different routines and schedules with advance notice. I live in a pet-friendly building with a closed backyard area, rooftop space, and a fenced dog park just a 5-minute walk away. Dogs are welcome to relax, play, and feel at home during their stay. I understand that every pet has their own habits, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their stay.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of our lives. We started with 2 rescue cats, fostered a puppy together, and eventually adopted our dog Miki. With our little family, your pet is coming into a home that already has plenty of company. Caring for dogs has already been a regular part of our routines. This includes a mix of walks, daycare, and boarding, plus occasional drop-in visits for cats. Currently, Andrew is working from home full time, and Stacey is in the office 4 days a week but home every evening and weekend, so your dog will never be left alone. Both of us will be involved in their care throughout the day. We're located in LIC, right between Court Square and Queensboro Plaza, making drop-offs and pickups convenient. Drop-off & Pick-up: We keep things flexible! Drop off and pick up any time between 7:30am–9pm. We've used sitters for our pets as well, so we know how much trust goes into leaving your pet with someone. You can expect us to care for your pet the same way we'd want our pets cared for.
