“Kecia is fantastic! She is kind and attentive to Olly so I always feel like he is in good hands. I also appreciate how communicative she is. My flight home was delayed so i needed to have a friend pick up Olly and Kecia was flexible in handing him off. I was super stressed at first but she went above and beyond to help us!”
“Krystal took wonderful care of our dog, Joules, while we were away for two weeks. We were initially nervous about leaving our older dog for that long, but Krystal made the experience completely stress-free. She kept us updated regularly, gave Joules plenty of attention and long walks, and clearly cared about his well-being. We came home to a happy dog and couldn't be more pleased. We highly recommend Krystal!”

“We've left our dog with John & Madeline multiple times now - including while on vacation for 8 days. They take amazing care of him - making sure he gets his meds (including a twice a day injection) and that his feeding schedule/plan is followed just right. They also take him on multiple walks a day and lots of trips to the park. Plus, they take great photos of our buddy, which they send to us along with an update each day. Highly recommend trusting your pup to John & Madeline!”

“First time booking on Rover. Elaine is very accommodating and I was able to book her on short notice. I have a six month old pug puppy who is very energetic and just got a neuter surgery, and she was able to accommodate his needs and care for him. She sent photos while I was away, mainly of him napping so I know he was tired out. She provided feedback on his pulling behaviors on walks and suggested different types of harnesses. I will definitely book her again, and thank you, Elaine!”
“Jane was so lovely and her dog Fancy is so cute! Our puppers needed a one night boarding while we were at a wedding. Jane took great care of him and sent so many photos, videos, and updates throughout the night and the next morning. She asked great questions if she was unsure of things. I loved the communication and flexibility Jane provided. Our dog was so happy when we came back to pick him up which let us know he had a great time at Jane’s! Would definitely recommend as a sitter!”
“Lenford was incredibly communicative and caring for my anxious girl. I was very nervous to leave her, but he took excellent care of my baby and will be my go-to going forward!”
“David and his wife were FANTASTIC! They treated my dog Tati with love and care. She has horrible separation anxiety so we are selective with who we trust but we would definitely hire them again. They sent regular updates and were really responsive. I’m happy to have found a reliable sitter in Bushwick and would highly recommend!”
“Another great start with her favorite sitter. Rachel gave tons of updates and pictures throughout the stay. Valerie had a great stay and was super happy to reunite with Rachel and her family!”
“Michael was great with Tazz and kept me updated with him for the 5 days I was traveling. Tazz is a senior dog which has it own quirks and Michael was great handling all of them. I will be booking him again to watch my pup. Thanks Michael you rock!”

“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.”

Him and his wife are the best and always take great care of my doggie!”

About: I'm a Rabbit Specialist, but also have experienced with Dogs, cats and Guinea pigs from time volunteering both in Michigan and New York. In high school, I started a dog sitting, cat sitting, house sitting and dog walking service in my neighborhood. This experience has given me the skills to work with different dog/ cat personalities and to cater to each of their needs. I love animals and believe they should have the best care, I will go the extra mile to make sure that my clients are happy. I will work with my clients to develop a care plan that fits both them and their pets needs. In my free time I volunteer at ACC And All About Rabbit Rescue. So if you have Rabbits or know some one who has and needs a boarding for any occasion I'm available just message me. Currently, now I'm a part-time college student with a very flexible schedule and I am willing to set up concurring visit/ walking schedules. I Mostly work In Manhattan/ Brooklyn but will travel for House sitting. I can also make exception for the right client. Please feel free to ask me any questions
“Sophia took great care of my fur baby. She is thoughtful, warm, responsive and treats your pups as her own. I highly recommend her and would absolutely have her watch my dog again. Thank you so much for spending your evening with my little guy!”
About: I love dogs and often care for my sister’s labradoodle. I’d love to have one of my own, but since I occasionally travel for work, dog sitting is the perfect way for me to enjoy a pup’s company. I work from home right across the street from Prospect Park and take long walks there every day—I’d be thrilled to have your dog join me. I work full time from home and always make time for a walk in the park mid day. I can also do short morning and evening walks as needed by your pup. I’m flexible when it comes to boarding. Reach out, chances are I can make your dates work. I live in a pet friendly apartment building with an elevator. Your small or midsize pup will be very comfortable spending time with me while I work. Unfortunately I’m unable to accommodate full size dogs or dogs that shed.
“Lexi was so great to work with! She worked with me on scheduling and was super open to my ever-shifting needs. Also - my dog loved her! He's slow to warm up and she was super patient and let him get comfortable. By day two, they were besties. She also did a great job of keeping him engaged and active throughout the day. He came home tired :)”
“Olivia is amazing! So knowledgeable and kind and such attention to detail. She really cares about the well being and happiness of your pup! Can’t wait to use her again.”
“Kennedy is a life saver! She cared for our Cali girl this weekend and she did an awesome job! Definitely will have Cali see her again! Thanks girl for everything ✨”

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!
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: Even though I’ve never had a dog of my own, it was always in my heart since I was a child to always love them. I used to help my uncle take care of dogs because he used to dog sit in our home. I would hope by feeding them and walking them. I’m free most of the time and I’d like to do something with my free time so since I love dogs, why not get paid to hang out with a bunch of fur babies! Although I’m not offering home boarding at the moment, I live in a small three bedroom apartment so I just believe it wouldn’t be best for a dog at this time.
About: I have taking a vet science course for 3 years, where I have been taught to care for many different animals. I also have experience in taking care of animals myself a rabbit, a guinea pig, and a Labrador retriever. I am currently on break from college and looking to fill my days with jobs that gives me different experiences everyday even better if it’s doing something I love. When I care for my pets and hopefully yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routine, and any special instructions you share. I love taking long walks, so your animal will get plenty of exercise and outdoor time. I will keep their space clean, give a lot of attention, and send regular updates and photos with permission throughout their day.
“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 :)”
About: Hey y’all, my name is Marvel and I’d love to meet you fur baby! I'm using this opportunity as a means to gain more experience for the day that I get my own dog or cat in the future. I've always wanted to live with pets and one of the pets I would love to care for are dogs. I have some experience with dogs because all of my friends are dog owners and I love the energy they give. I can care for special needs dogs, emotional support dogs and any other dog of any size. I would love to meet your pet and care for it as if it were my own. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I love being active and walking dogs is actually a great excuse for me to be outside more lol. I do have a job so I can’t walk them as much as I’d like but I do walk them when I can. I always enjoy walking and playing with animals. It would not only be beneficial for your pet but for me as well! We’d do a ton of fun activities like playing fetch, some light jogging, some training if needed and rewarding them with treats for good behavior! I’m cautious and observant of animals I’m getting to know. Getting a feel for their personality, behaviors and routines. When it comes to new animals I like to take my time and create an environment that promotes safety and trust. I want your pet to trust me as much as I’ll learn to trust it. Creating a strong bond and good relationship during our time together :)
About: Just minutes away from Prospect Park, my home is a safe and fun refuge for your dog’s daycare and boarding needs. I have two playful rescue dogs who love making new dog friends, and I’ll take care of your baby as part of my family pack. Your dog can play in the doggy oasis living room filled with fun toys, yummy things to chew on, and comfy places to rest. Every afternoon, we take a nice long walk in Prospect Park where we get to sniff so many good smells and have so many wags. Dog days over here really are the best. A bit about me- I'm a long time pet parent with a part-time remote/WFH job and a full-time love of dogs. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats at all stages of life, from puppies who need patience to super seniors who need meds and around the clock care. Our pets are part of our families, and I’ll treat your furry family members just as I do my own- with the utmost care and affection. You can count on me for quality play time, good walks, feeding, and clear communication including pictures and pet updates. Book with me and know your fur baby is in good hands. Dog-friendly dogs only for daycare and boarding. I work part time flexible hours from home, so I have a lot of time to take care of your fur baby along with my own. I have two extremely friendly dog’s dogs who welcome new friends into their pack with open hearts and paws! We do walks in the neighborhood every two-three hours (my youngest is still on a puppy schedule), and a long walk every afternoon in Prospect Park. Our park walk is truly the highlight of my day, and depending on schedules and dog energy, sometimes we spend 3+ hours out there sniffing, wagging, and walking all over the park. While I can accommodate individualized needs and scheduling requests, to the extent possible, your dog will be integrated into our little pack. This will hopefully ease any separation anxiety. And by the end of the day(s) in the pack, your dog will have made new friends for life! My apartment is set up for my two wild and fun dogs with room to add to the pack. My living room is the dog’s room- it has been converted to be a haven for dogs with toys, dog beds, and space to play. All hazards have been removed and/or minimized in the dog play area (ie no choking hazards, cords out of chewing reach, etc). The dogs have an option of sleeping in the dog room or in bed with me. I have a king size bed so there’s space for everyone!
“Couldn't be happier to have found Morgan! Our dog Otis can take some time to warm up to new people and Morgan took the time and put in the effort to ensure our dog felt comfortable with him. He is super communicative, always on time, friendly and just fantastic with handling Otis. We really appreciate it and cannot express how happy we are to have found Morgan!”
“Truly a godsend from up above! Alexandra walked my dog 2 times a day for 10 days while I suffered severe back issues. She was able to come on board last minute and has been punctual, responsible and trustworthy the entire time. My dog, Sophia, absolutely adores her. Sophia makes me get her ready one hour earlier and wait at the door for Alexandra. I was so elated to see Sophia get so much exercise, so then eating better and sleeping better that I asked Alexandra to stay on longer. Alexandra has that energy that pumps my pup up and she has such a good time. I wouldn't hesitate to her anytime I can.”
“10/10 Ciara was awesome walking Zion when I went on vacation for 10 days. She walked him twice a day for an hour each time rain or shine, and was always on time. She also took pictures and left a great summary each time. I highly recommend Ciara and am looking forward to hiring her again!”
About: I love dogs!! Big, small, high or low energy! It’s impossible to hide my smile when a dog comes near. I am so excited for the opportunity to be an asset to your family. I have full availability for check ins during the week! I have a very flexible schedule and can work with yours to ensure that your pet gets the care they need at the time they need it. I offer an in person or video meet up before the first visit to introduce myself to the pet & family. I will ask questions about where the care items are located (food, water, treats, litter box). I am also open to caring for any basic household needs as well.

“Melanie agreed to care for my dog Stella at the last minute when another arrangement fell through. We had a meet & greet with her dog Lily and all went well, and she and her boyfriend Nathan took wonderful care of my geriatric pup. They sent us pictures of her (holiday ones to fit the time of year) and other ones of her in their home. She got along great with Lily and they accommodated her needs (not walking far or fast, not hearing well). I would recommend Melanie to anyone.”

“This was our second stay with Margaret and her daughter and it was a wonderful experience from drop off to pick up! Junior has some behavorial "quirks" and Margaret knew how to keep him happy and safe. Her photos and updating communications made it easy for me to enjoy my vacation with family without worrying or thinking about how Junior was doing. I know I found the perfect place for Junior when I have to leave him home. I intend to book with Margaret again and would ABSOLUTELY recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable caring sitter who treats your dog or cat like they're theirs!”
