“Hired Leona for the first time this weekend. She was a wonderful choice. She documented each visit thoroughly with pictures, messages and observations. Although there was a mishap and my cat lashed out, Leona handled the situation like a true professional. She was in communication with me with every visit. She understands pets and understands respect and boundaries. I would love to hire her again in the future, as long as she wants to watch my baby of course!!! Highly recommend Leona. Thank you again!!!”

You can really tell that her heart is in it and she takes care of them like they were her newborn child. Can't reccomend Alice enough”
About: I was born into a family of animal lovers and have spent my entire life surrounded by fur babies. Because I grew up in a home with more cats than dogs, I developed a deep, natural intuition for feline behavior. I understand that every cat is an individual.. some need high energy playtime, while others just want a quiet presence to feel safe. I am experienced in everything from the zoomies and deep-cleaning litter boxes to the gentle patience required for shy or senior cats. Whether it’s keeping them on their feeding schedule or providing the perfect chin scratches, I treat every cat like they are my own family.
About: Hi! I’m Amae — a lifelong animal lover who truly grew up surrounded by pets. I was raised with a sweet pit bull and two cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural (and happy) part of my life. I also have experience helping my mom with babysitting and pet care through the app, so I understand the importance of trust, communication, and consistency when caring for someone else’s fur babies. I’m currently a responsible college student who loves being around animals in my free time. Right now, I’m also a bunny mom, so I’m used to routines, gentle handling, and giving lots of love and attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I know how special pets are, and I’d be happy to help care for yours 🐶🐱🐰✨ Pet care is already a built-in part of my daily routine. Every day, I make time to feed and play with my cat, as well as care for my bunny. That means fresh food and water, enrichment time, cleaning their spaces, and making sure they’re both getting attention and affection. I really value creating a calm, consistent routine for animals, so checking in on them throughout the day has just become second nature to me. In other people’s homes, I respect house rules, keep things tidy, and maintain clear communication so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s checking collars and leashes before walks, monitoring playtime, or making sure they have fresh water. I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention I give my own.

About: Hi! I’m [Your Name], a passionate dog lover and dedicated pet care professional. With years of hands-on experience walking and caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I treat every pup like they’re my own. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long adventure walk, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to make sure your furry friend is happy, healthy, and safe. Reliability, communication, and genuine care are at the heart of everything I do. Let me give your dog the love and exercise they deserve — tails will wag, I promise! On an average I run 4-6 miles daily. As a digital artist who works from home I tend to find myself with a lot of energy left and lots of times I would rather spend with animals and being active at that. As a husky owner and a dog that needs lots of attention and walks, my dog is my best friend. He runs with me a lot, and I care for my dog as well as my other pets very attentive, extremely nurturing (it’s a habit), and with so much play time.
“Lucy is the best! Snuggles with Sunny and always sends pictures. I’m so happy that I finally found someone who genuinely loves dropping in on my cat, who doesn’t leave my AC on or eats my food like family does! Lol”
“Joy did a great job checking in on my cat, Pierre. She followed all of my instructions for feeding and litter cleaning, and sent me pics of my little man each day and at each visit, I could tell he was excited to see her, made me happy to know he was in good hands. Thanks to her reliability, I came home to a very happy kitty!”
About: Hello! My name is Shanthi, I am an experienced 36 year old women with 10+ years experience in boarding and grooming pets. I enjoy spending time with different breeds and personalities and do my best to make your pet as comfortable as they can be while staying with me. I have experience with difficult dogs, puppies and seniors. I listen very carefully to direction and will make sure that your pet is not only loved and cared for but also entertained and exercised. There is a dog park across the street for those pets that love to be social and rump around with others. I have a very diverse yet specific set of skills, I've have K9 body language and cognitive behavioral studies and use these skills to benefit your pet.
About: I’ve cared for my best friend’s cat for about five years, doing regular one-hour visits and helping with feeding, litter care, and playtime. He was known for being pretty stubborn, but funny enough, he always seemed to form a special bond with me. I’ve spent time around my family members cats all the time whenever I’d go over to their house! Never had one for myself because at the time my mom claimed I had too many pets 😆. I also took in a stray kitten from the street and it had a bad eye with stuff in it and I took it to the vet and once it was all healed, as emotionally attached I was I had given to it someone who I knew loved cats and would take proper care of it!! 🥹 Call me cheesy but I think it’s because I’m very patient when it comes to animals and I let cats and animals of all sorts warm up to me naturally 🥹. I love that privilege god gave me:) I understand that every cat has a different personality. Some are affectionate and playful, while others are independent or shy. I move at the cat’s pace and pay attention to their body language, making sure they feel safe and comfortable during each visit. Whether that means playtime, quiet company, or just keeping their routine consistent, I focus on creating a calm and respectful environment.
About: I've taken care of cats since I was about 5 years old. I always had cats as child and a few in my adult life. My precious Zeus (he was a Persian) passed away a few years ago and I have not found a good cat match for me as of yet. I enjoy cuddling and playing with them or just laying around watching a movie lol. Big on keeping cat litter box clean and having fresh food and water.
“Hemei did a great job taking care of our cat. She did everything we asked and was very communicative. We felt very comfortable being away with our cat in her care and would definitely book her again.”
“Shadow and I got lucky with this young woman! She is a great fit for shadow. He’s a big sweet boy with separation anxiety. She knew how to take charge and keep herself and him safe. We are very happy with the service she provided. And we get to see her again”

“This was a perfect match. Lily connected with Veronica and her husband right away. Veronica has a calm , warm and pleasant personality. I immediately felt comfortable leaving Lily at her home and in her care. I met her two fur babies and saw how sweet and loving they are. This was an excellent day for Lily because she was able to enjoy Veronica’s backyard and front porch while being off her leash. Thank you”
“Emily was absolutely amazing! She is incredibly professional, flexible, and easy to communicate with. From the start, she made everything smooth and stress-free, always keeping me updated and making sure my dog was well taken care of. You can really tell she cares and takes her work seriously. I felt completely confident leaving my dog with her, and I could see how happy and comfortable he was the entire time. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy, and top-quality care. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Veronica was extremely responsive and professional. She loves dogs and gave our pup constant attention and affection. We were updated with pics and Veronica used the app to inform us of our dogs potty breaks etc so we could plan our pups routine upon his return. I would highly recommend Veronica and I will use her services again.”
“I was so worried to leave my 9 week old puppy with someone so soon, but Elijah reassured me that my puppy would be in good hands. Drop off and pick up were seamless and I received photos throughout the day. 10/10 definitely recommend!”
About: I have over a decade of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. As a current multi-pet owner with a mini poodle and a rescue cat, I am an expert at managing a happy, harmonious home and catering to different personality types. What sets my care apart is the activity level and location. I live just 20 feet from one park and a 5-minute walk from another, making outdoor time effortless. My schedule is built around your pet's needs: when I'm home, they get four walks a day, and even on my office days, they are guaranteed three solid walks with plenty of park time. My home is a true 'pet paradise'—fully stocked with a massive variety of dog and cat toys to suit any play style, from high-energy fetch to interactive puzzle games. I also treat your pets like my own by exclusively serving ZeroWater filtered water for premium hydration. I am highly observant, deeply responsible, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, active, and loved. My weekly routine is highly structured to guarantee your pet gets plenty of regular exercise and potty breaks. Since I work from home on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I am able to take dogs out for four walks a day (morning, lunch break, evening, and right before bed). On Mondays and Thursdays when I go into the office, I still ensure they get three solid walks (a long morning walk, an evening walk, and one right before sleep). I am always home for overnight boarding, and my weekends are fully open for even more playtime and park visits! Because I am a pet owner myself with a dog and a cat, my home is fully set up for animal safety. My environment is supervised, and I am particularly careful about keeping curious pets away from indoor plants or other hazards. I provide a calm, structured space where your pet can relax while I work from my home office. I also believe in total transparency and will send you frequent photo and video updates so you can see your pet enjoying their time, whether we're playing fetch at the park or lounging at home. To ensure every guest feels at home, I provide multiple dog beds in various sizes throughout the apartment. This allows each dog to have their own dedicated space to retreat to and relax, which is especially helpful for pups who might be a little timid at first!

“Highly recommend Dean! His communication style is professional & caring. He eased all my anxiety as it was difficult leaving my new puppy in someone’s care. He gives updates, is prompt, and even helped my pup socialize with trusted dogs. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter! I’ll be booking again.”
“Athena was amazing and so reliable. I booked super last minute and she was extremely accommodating, fast responding, and kept me updated with pictures throughout Ozzy’s stay which gave me so much peace of mind. She even fed him homemade food and treats and truly cared for him like her own. I was completely at ease during my trip knowing Ozzy was in such good hands. I will 10000% be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring 🤍”
“The sitter was great. Even willing to groom my dog and trim her nails. The only mix up was the drop-off location which took me twenty minutes out of the way otherwise I'd give five stars.”
“I truly recommend Dan. This is my first time using Rover and naturally wanting the best for my dog, I wanted to make sure she’d be good, and Dan made sure of that. She always checked in with me, provided me updates of Daisy through pictures and videos, and always responds when she can.”

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel at ease knowing their pet is in good hands. I am currently work from home, so I’m able to provide pets with plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I can easily accommodate walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins. In my home, I have a fenced yard and a small Chihuahua to keep your pets accompanied. I always make sure the space is clean, pet-friendly, and supervised at all times.
“They are very responsive and prompt with both pick up and drop off. Despite my dog being quite anxious, they handle him very well and he seems to like them a lot. I recommend using them as dog sitters.”
“Julia was great! We left our puppy Sonny with her one afternoon until the afternoon the next day and she kept sending us updates and pictures of him having fun. This made us feel so good knowing that she was taking the best care of him and that he was happy. We would definitely recommend and use Julia again.”
About: Passionate about providing compassionate. My skills are playing tricks, fetch, sit, down, stay, come. A great way to exercise and build a bond. I like to get to know them. Mornings often begin with feeding, walks (for dogs), or playtime, depending on the pet's needs. Midday might include check-ins, litter box cleaning, or administering medication. Evenings are for meals. I prioritize pet care appointments and dedicate the necessary time. My schedule is open on weekday and weekends, anytime of the day. In my home, I provide a safe, clean environment with personalized routines. In clients' homes, I follow their instructions, respect their property, and provide regular updates. Love and attention are always included!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember! Growing up with many friends, family members, and neighbors that trusted me in caring for their dogs, I gained a lot of experience in interacting with dogs of any size and age. I have also done some volunteer work in shelters walking and checking-in on the animals (dogs and cats), including babysitting a newborn litter of puppies. I’m currently working part-time during the evenings and weekends in Manhattan for the summer, so I have most of my mornings free to play and get to know your pet during the week! In walking your pet and giving them their daily dose of exercise, I am easily adaptable to their personalities and needs! I am very gentle and patient with my pet at home and I am with every pet I’ve taken care of/will take care of. I can offer higher-energy dogs with more of a workout during our walk by adding in a jog or even taking them to a dog park their parent is comfortable with. I can also follow the pace of older/calmer/special-needs pups.

About: Hi my name is Tabitha, every body calls me Tabi for short. I am a huge animal lover. I love all animals of all breeds and sizes. I grew up with animals my whole life. I've had hamsters, rabbits, dogs, cats, turtles, etc. Mostly cats and dogs. I am interested in animal caring because i want a puppy so bad, but will not be able to get one any time soon. My last dog Oreo, was a pit bull, and i had her for 13 years (her whole life). I live in an apartment and have a cat. I am home 80% of the time and i am always alone. The other 20% i am out running errands. I will like to enjoy the company of an energetic, playful, outgoing, silly and loving dog, cat, etc, who can make my day a bit brighter. I will love, cherish, and enjoy the company of your pet(s), as if they were my very own. Pet sitting is my primary focus, as I am home 80% of the day. My routine is very flexible, only stepping out briefly for quick errands, which means your fur baby will have constant companionship and supervision. Because I’m around so much, I can easily stick to your pet's specific feeding, potty, and play schedules without any interruptions. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. When I’m in a client's home, I maintain a calm and secure environment, ensuring all doors and gates are double-checked. Since I grew up in a family that always had more cats than dogs, I am an expert at reading body language to ensure pets feel safe and never overstimulated. I provide frequent updates and photos so you can have total peace of mind while you're away.

I work part-time in the entertainment industry, so I have a very flexible schedule. I update my Rover calendar weekly. For the time being, I can only accept bookings accessible by NYC public transportation, including Metro-North and NJ Transit. I have been vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19. I am happy to wear a mask when interacting with humans in your home if requested - I may also mask for my safety. For dogs' safety, I do not take dogs to dog parks, take them off-leash, or simultaneously walk dogs from different households unless I am extremely familiar with the dogs' behavior and the activity is approved by the owners.

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, and they tend to trust me quickly. I’ve cared for many different pets over the years, including dogs, small animals, and birds. I successfully home-trained my rabbit and hand-trained and hand-tamed four parakeets, helping them feel comfortable and bonded with me within their first week at home. I’m very patient, calm, and attentive, which helps pets feel safe and relaxed in my care. I make sure all pets are fed on time, well cared for, and given plenty of love and attention. I also have experience caring for my godsister’s and cousins’ dogs, including a beagle and a dachshund. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly believe every pet deserves kindness, consistency, and genuine care. I have a rabbit named miffy, a parakeet named Beaky. I feed and water them everyday as well as charge the litter box of my rabbit as I trained him to learn to do his business in his litterbox. I also help my disabled neighbor walk their dog whenever nobody is home I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets in my home or a client’s (or neighbors) home. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I take time to build trust with every pet, allowing them to adjust at their own pace. I keep environments clean, calm, and secure, and I make sure pets are supervised, well-cared-for, and given plenty of attention and affection at all times.

Messing with computer hardware and coding a machine is a passion I always had as a kid. Other than that, I really love animals! Especially cats and dogs. I currently own 1 dog (Bichon Frise) and I give her the best of everything. Any other dog/cat I interact with, I treat them as a family member. I make sure they're groomed, properly eating, happy, feel comfortable, and making sure they're active. I've been taking care of cats and dogs for 10 years and can tell when they want something, not feeling right, hungry, and feeling sick. I make sure every pet I take care of get the utmost care and love they deserve.

“If I could give more than five stars, I would give Mel and Travis infinity. They took amazing care of my dog, Bella, while I was traveling to San Diego. This was the first time I had ever left her with anyone other than a relative, so naturally I was very nervous. Mel and Travis made me feel completely comfortable from the start. They provided regular updates, sent pictures, and reassured me the entire time. Even when Bella was going through her little “withdrawals” from being away from me, they made sure she felt comfortable, loved, and acknowledged. That meant everything to me. It was very hard leaving my baby for a few days, but they gave me total peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I’m incredibly appreciative and thankful for their care and dedication. I will absolutely be booking with them anytime I have to travel. I’m truly grateful for how they cared for Bella and made sure she was as comfortable as possible until I returned home.”
