About: When I was 7 years old, I found our neighborhood cat hiding under our barbecue cover only to later discover she was pregnant with kittens. Unfortunately, we couldn’t keep the kittens but we kept Kika, a beautiful mixed rag doll & Siamese cat with gorgeous blue eyes. She would soon become an indoor cat and only preferred cuddles from me. Eventually, I went away to college and she became and we lost her. 🥺 Since then, I’ve been blessed with roommates’ cats all the way from Lima, Peru. 🇵🇪 Pictured, Tora & Pipa, are the most darling angels to share a home with. I have years of experience with feeding, cleaning, playing, and giving medicine, but most importantly, cuddles! I hope to meet your furry children soon!

I am so grateful to have found her and she is the only person I trust to take care of my fur babies!”

My dog is a senior and will be staying alone for the first time ever, so I was naturally nervous.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life — growing up with them at home gave me a deep understanding of their needs and personalities. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large dogs, for friends and family through walks, drop-ins, and home stays. As a remote-working attorney, I bring the same reliability and attention to detail to pet care that I do to my professional life. Your pup will always be in trustworthy, attentive hands. I work fully remote, which means I’m home all day and able to give dogs consistent attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, walks, drop-ins, and daycare — my flexible schedule makes it easy to accommodate your routine. I live in a spacious Brooklyn townhome with plenty of room for dogs to move around comfortably. We’re just a 5-minute walk to Prospect Park, so boarded or daycare dogs get real outdoor time with open grass and space to run. I’m experienced with both small and large breeds and know how to create a calm, safe environment for dogs whether I’m hosting at my place or visiting yours.
“Trusting someone with Indie isn’t easy, but Syd proved to be trustworthy and caring. Indie took to her right away. Syd is a great communicator and paid close attention to the details I provided for Indie’s care. The photos she shared showed her dedication to showering Indie with the love and attention he’s used to getting and needs. Indie left very happy and I picked him up very happy.”
“Emerald was absolutely incredible so kind and thoughtful. She kept me updated throughout the day, which I truly appreciated, and I could tell my dog was genuinely happy and comfortable with her. I would book with her again a million times because I felt completely happy and at ease with the entire experience.”

She was phenomenal and I didn’t have to worry about pebbles comfort ability or safety once throughout the day. she also knows that pebble is a high energy dog and walked her the appropriate amount of time even in this cold out of control!!!.”

Throughout the day, she sent thoughtful updates and even shared Amazon links for helpful dog products and treats. Britt was incredibly attentive to Pepper’s adjustment to a new environment and showed so much patience. Bonus points for her sweet dog, Furby, who became Pepper’s new friend during her stay. Rest assured, Britt is more than capable of taking great care of your fur baby!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets in my home and I’ve take care of your pet the best had training with e collar and muzzle walks I’m only working part time at the moment so trying to gain some supplemental income and also get outside and enjoy the world and all it has Unfortunately my dog passed away from cancer but when she was here we would go on multiple walks a day and pup cup fridays were here fave rip
About: I’m based in Brooklyn and I’ve had cats and dogs in my life since I was about five years old, many of them from the time they were kittens and puppies. I’ve watched pets for family and friends for years, and I’ve taken care of school/classroom pets for extended periods of time. Caring for animals has always felt natural to me. I’m a calm, soft-spoken person, and animals tend to respond well to that energy. I pay attention to their body language, their routines, and the little things that help them feel safe. I also believe good pet care starts with understanding the pet parent. I take time to get to know you, your routines, your expectations, your concerns so I can truly be of service and support your pet the way you would. Trust matters to me, and I don’t take it lightly. When your pet is with me, they’re cared for with patience, consistency, and real presence. I work from home, which allows me to be flexible and present throughout the day. Because I’m home-based, I’m able to maintain consistent feeding times, potty breaks, and check-ins, and I’m not rushing in and out. I plan my schedule intentionally so the pets in my care receive steady attention and aren’t left alone for long stretches. Safety and trust mean a lot to me, especially because I’ve been a pet owner myself for most of my life. I know how important routines are, and I follow routines in my own life, so I respect and stick to the ones you’ve created for your pet. If I’m in your home, I’m mindful and respectful of your space. And I stay present on walks, especially here in Brooklyn where things can get busy. I don’t rush, and I don’t multitask when I’m responsible for your pet. As a pet owner, I understand the level of trust it takes to leave your animal with someone so I take that seriously. I communicate clearly and send frequent updates so you feel at ease, not just informed.
“Laura is the best! My senior dog Tiny took to her immediately. I’ve used Laura twice so far and she’s been punctual, communicative and just overall wonderful. Tiny can be reactive and some quirks, but Laura has been mindful of them and I’m at ease knowing Tiny is in her care! Will definitely continue to book with Laura :)”
“Jorge is great! He is always available when I need him even when it’s last minute. He always sends me a picture of my pup during the walks which makes my day. He’s always thorough in filling out the rover card. He also makes an effort to take my pup on different routes each walk to keep things interesting. I highly recommend him!”
About: Hello! My name is Hannah and I am so excited to look after your fur baby. I have tons of experience and comfort levels with all sorts of animals. My own kitties need special medications, injections, pills and more so I'm very familiar with giving additional care. I'm very patient, and have sat and bathed dogs and cats of all shapes sizes and breeds. I've been a midwife to a husky, cared for senior cats with IVs, and plenty in between. I'd love to care for your pet too! I freelance most days of the week so I have plenty of free time to drop by and visit. I also love walking, myself, so doing it with a furry friend is an added bonus :) I live in an apartment that is pet friendly. I have one cat who gets along great with others. I have access to a yard for potty breaks and live close to Prospect Park for walks. I have house/baby/pet sat many times and I will be very responsible in regards to your home. No snooping and I try and leave spaces nicer than when I found them :)

About: Hello! My name is Olivia, but I commonly go by Olive. I have had dogs all but nine years of my life. I have years of experience in puppy training, dog walking, and k-9 spoiling! I am passionate about making dogs feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I also have a dog of my own named Arnold. He is a 25 pound Mini Golden Doodle and is extremely friendly and energetic. I am always willing to take him along if your puppy needs socialization in a safe, controlled environment, or if your solo dog is simply longing for a playmate. It is entirely up to you and your dog friend. Aside from dog sitting/walking, I am an actress and writer. My schedule is flexible and know just below my love for the arts is my love for dogs. So rest assured, your dog will be enthusiastically prioritized and loved. I cannot wait to befriend you and your doggie! i am a writer/actor & this is one of a few trade jobs i do! this one takes priority in my schedule since i love it the most :) i’ve learned in working with dogs for so long, trust looks different for every dog. as the caretaker, it’s my responsibility to understand animal body language & behavior so that i know what are the boundaries of each animal i care for. from there, honoring those boundaries while also offering love & attention & practical care is typically my approach!
“Lucas is very reliable and communicative. He listens to concerns that are needed for the animal. My Kahri loves to see him because she knows it’s walk time. I would recommend to anyone.”
“We've had a lot of awesome walkers come through when I have long workdays but my roommate was like, Jasmine's the one! Thoughtful, warm, communicative and made sure Canelo was safe and comfy for his walk. If schedules align she'll be my go-to and she should be yours too! :)”
