“Patricia is great! The dogs just loved being with her and it’s so nice that she has a backyard for them to run around. She sent us pictures everyday and took great care of them ❤️”
“My dog is always stoked after hanging at Yiqi's. I'm so grateful we are able to book with her and be confident that he's getting the exercise and socializing a large dog needs. He always comes home with great energy which is super encouraging for me! Thanks always Yiqi!”
“Lina was excellent and a definitely recommend her. I left 2 cats with her for around 2 weeks. She kept me posted with frequent pics of my cats and I had absolutely no issues getting in touch with Lina. The cats were well taken care of and I am glad I trusted her with my feline friends.”
“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!”
“Doris was very informative with lots of daily updates and photos. Responds in a timely fashion and was very friendly. Kobe has a new friend and will use her again”
“Kecia is a wonderful, kind animal-lover. She always makes sure to keep me posted about how Simmy is doing and goes out of her way to make sure he is comfortable and happy.”
“What a wonderful family! Pamela takes such fantastic care of our dog while we were out of the country (1 week). Constant communication and photos. Our dog was treated like a member of their family and would highly recommend them to any one looking for a pet sitter!”
“My puppy had a great time with her! Very communicative and provided constant updates with pictures and videos. Very responsive. Ginger really enjoyed her stay! Thank you!”
“Coco always looks happy when I pick her up from Ben's care. She jumps back-and-forth to us like she doesn't know who to go to - which really eases my mind about her stay with Ben and his pup Colby”
“Daisy had another great stay with Rachel. She played with Teddy in the backyard with all the snow - it was very cute. Always sends photo updates. Highly recommended”
“Katerina is the BEST! I had the absolute best experience with her! She is truly amazing. She truly went above and beyond. If I could give her a 100 stars I would!”
“Sam was absolutely wonderful with Kulfi! She paid attention to all of our instructions and made sure to give her tons of affection and play time. Sam sent lots of cute pics too so I knew Kulfi was doing well! Sam was also very accommodating and actually came to pick Kulfi up since she lives close by. I can’t wait to book with Sam again soon!”
“Erica is very knowledgeable, friendly and caring. She proactively sent photos and videos of my pup during his stay. My pup enjoyed interacting with the other dogs and playing with the cat as well. I would definitely recommend Erica for anyone looking for an excellent dog sitter.”
“Kitty was absolutely wonderful. It was my first time using rover and was nervous about having my senior dog stay at a complete strangers home. But Kitty made the whole process super easy and comfortable. I could tell Chester loved staying with her and was having a great time. She sent pictures through out the day, every single day and was very easy to get in touch with. I’m so glad to have found her and have her to take care of Chester. I will def be a repeating customer.”
“Deanna is fantastic! We left Ferris with her during our vacation to Mexico and he loved it. We got several updates and photos and he was very calm and relaxed upon pick up.”
“Ekaterina and family did a lovely job hosting our senior dog Gil! He returned home happy and relaxed. She sent lots of photos and updates. Thank you so much.”

About: I’ve taken care of multiple cats/kittens for a few years now. I have had friends and family rely on me to come take care of their cats and watch over them while they’re busy. I am playful, attentive, and caring and i will do everything to ensure your baby’s safety.
About: Hi! I'm Janis—a college student on summer break, excited to meet your pet(s)! I’ve been caring for all kinds of animals since I was young—dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish—you name it! Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs— from energetic puppies to senior dogs, as well as large breeds like Pit Bulls, Samoyeds, and Labradors. I am open to making exceptions for some large breeds depending on their behavior and after a meet-and-greet. I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I gained experience walking and handling anxious dogs. My experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant has given me strong familiarity with handling medications, special diets, and injury care. I’m highly attentive, detail-oriented, and comfortable following specific care instructions to ensure your pet’s safety and well-being. I’m very responsive and make sure pet parents always feel connected by sending frequent photo and video updates. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and bond with them through the activities they enjoy most. I’m currently on summer break, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m able to spend most of the day with them, with exceptions for errands, but they will never be left alone, as I live with family. I provide at least 2–3 walks or potty breaks per day, and I’m happy to adjust based on your pet’s needs and routine. I also accept last-minute bookings whenever possible! I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication at all times. I live in a house with a fenced front yard, but your pet will always be supervised when outside. During walks, I try to avoid streets with a lot of traffic to help pets feel secure, especially in new environments. I always pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I live with my family, so pets will never be left alone if I had to run out, and I always communicate this clearly with owners ahead of time. I currently don’t have other pets in my Brooklyn home aside from fish, which allows me to give your pet my full attention. I can also follow instructions like crating or separating pets if needed.
“She watched my two cats for a week. She was always on time and followed all my directions perfectly. She even asked thoughtful questions and offered great suggestions to make them comfortable. My cats were so happy. She is amazing!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was little. At age 7 I had two cats Cookie and Mimi they’re were my best friends. After gaining experience in caring for my own cats I started to pet sit neighbors, friends, and family members cats. I also have experience with kittens, senior cats, and disabled cats.
“Tracy did a great job taking care of my 2 cats! She was very communicative and they seemed very happy and well taken care of when I returned home. Thank you so much!”
About: For more than 30 years I have been engaged in the maintenance, care and training of my pets. I love animals, taking care of pets gives me pleasure. I have had many different animals, I have experience in caring for turtles, fish, hamsters and cats. I currently work part-time at a dog daycare, where I care for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities every day. This experience has helped me become confident handling both energetic and shy dogs in a safe and attentive way. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits on Mondays, Fridays, and weekends by appointment. I always try to be flexible and provide reliable communication and photo updates for pet parents. Dogs have been an important part of my life since childhood, and I have over 30 years of experience caring for pets. I have experience with large breeds such as Huskies and Giant Schnauzers, as well as senior dogs and pets who need medication or extra attention. My priority is making every dog feel safe, calm, and comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routine, and energy level, and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I believe patience, consistency, and trust are the foundation of good pet care.
“Sidnie was absolutely amazing with Jack. He is a senior dog and she gave him extra time and love every visit. She saw to his every need, going above and beyond every day, and she was superb at providing updates. We will rebook with Sidnie for our next trip - thank you for the excellent service, Sidnie!!”
About: Hi! I’m Sophie, I'm 28, and I'm someone who genuinely enjoys spending time outdoors and being around animals. While I’m relatively new to pet care, I’m eager, attentive, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I stay active and go on daily walks (usually about an hour), so I’m especially excited about opportunities to walk dogs and keep them engaged. I’ve had some hands-on experience walking a friend’s dog, and I’ve really enjoyed building that routine and connection. I also have a small goldfish tank at home, so I’m familiar with the basics of maintaining a pet environment. In terms of availability, starting April 16th, I expect to work full time in office Monday through Friday (with early dismissal on Fridays) and I’ll be available on Friday evenings and throughout the weekends. I would be comfortable offering services for dog walking and making drop-in visits. I would like getting to know your pet's routines and what would be expected from me.
“Travis was amazing - super thoughtful and prompt, and our two cats really enjoyed hanging out with him. He made the experience very seamless and was so kind. We will definitely use him again in the future!”
About: I love Cats and have one of my own, I can drop in and play, clean, and feed your kitty cat. Treats and stimulation I can understand are vital as they can become bored when mommy/daddy are away. Look forward to caring for your fur baby on your away. 🐱✨
“Tori was a wonderful cat sitter!! Our cat Kenji felt comfortable with her immediately and she regularly kept us updated on how he was doing, which we appreciated since we are super attached to him!! We are glad Tori stayed with him because he is quite clingy and we know she gave him all the love he needed, Would definitely recommend Tori to watch your cat!!”
“Amanda has watched my cat twice now and she is the best! She sends a ton of pictures and takes the time to play and give my cat lots attention! I could not emphasize enough how much I recommend Amanda!”
“Yana was fantastic with our two cats! She was very caring and attentive and sent us updates about anything we might want to know about - and also cute cat photos. She even took notice that our automatic feeder wasn't working and reset it for us. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: Hello, my name is Tyler, and I’ve been a pet owner to my dogs pinky and fendi for the past 14 years. I have also taken care of the dogs of my family and friends, and always make sure that they feel comfortable in their environment. All pets are family to me, and feel comfortable in my care. Looking forward to meeting your fluffy friends! I am currently working in a school, but get out at 3 everyday. So I will be ready to walk your pet for evenings and on weekends. When a pet comes into my home, I try to make them feel as comfortable as possible. When in a clients home, I try to keep them in their regular routine, and make sure that whatever is asked by the owner is completed without fail.
“Amy was excellent! Her communication was very good and she took great care of our two cats. She even managed to get our extremely shy cat to warm to her a little, which does not usually happen with other people! Would definitely recommend.”

“Lina provided exceptional care for my baby, Viper. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in good hands. She not only tended to his basic needs but also showered him with love and attention. It was evident that she genuinely cared for his well-being and treated him as if he were her own. Throughout his stay, Lina kept me updated with photos and messages, which eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing Viper was happy and content. Additionally, her knowledge and expertise in handling dogs reassured me that Viper was receiving the best care possible. I highly recommend Lina to anyone in need of a responsible and caring pet sitter.”
“Patricia took care of my 2 month old puppy, Honor on weekdays while I was at work until he turned 5 months old. Patricia did a great job letting him out in the fenced in backyard for potty training. She knew how to correct his puppy biting. She made sure that she fed him and mixed in peanut butter to ensure that he ate his food. She did a wonderful job taking care of Honor for the last 3 months. He was well taken care of. Also, her son Teo loves playing with Honor. He got socialized well when Patricia takes Honor with her to pick up her son. I would book her again in the future.”
“Doris is a very sweet and caring person. She took a great care of my Molly. She gave my girl lots of attention and took her out for walks. I’ll definitely get back to Doris for more help with my girl.”
“We know our Cody boy had a great day when he runs up and hugs us at pick up and then immediately falls asleep in the car! From start to finish, Ziwei was amazing. She was outside waiting for us upon pickup, sent tons of photos and videos throughout the day, and waited for us when we came to pick up our boy. Incredibly friendly, professional, and courteous. Can't wait to work with her again!”
About: *I only take one pet at a time for boarding and day care (two if they are in the same family). For additional pets, please inquire. My rates are firm and reflect the level of care I will provide.* I know the feeling of never wanting to leave your fur baby behind. Wherever I went, if I couldn’t take my pets with me, then I would rather not go at all. But sometimes when work calls or when you simply need a little “me” time, we need help from someone we can trust to love and care for our pets while we’re away. I would love to be that person for you! My pet care experience comes from working at and caring for shelter animals, caring for stray cats, fostering cats and dogs, and loving my own beloved pets (My two dogs that have since passed - Terri, 18, Maple, 12, and cat - August, 4). I’m fear-free certified and have extensive experience caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs (especially cushings, CHF, CCD). I can help with giving oral medications and am open to assisting with other needs if you’re willing to teach. If your pet knows any commands or is in training, I’m happy to help reinforce their skills too (just let me know!). In addition to my experience above, I was also featured on NY1’s New Yorker of the week segment for my volunteer work at Animal Haven, an animal shelter based in Manhattan. My home is super senior-dog friendly with rugs all around the house so your pups don’t slip, pet oxygen for emergencies, plus strollers for pets with special needs. I work remote and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I offer pet day care, house sitting, and boarding. Please see my calendar for availability. HOUSE SITTING - overnight stays in your home. DROP INS - 30 minutes and I’ll do whatever is needed in that time. This could be a combination of feeding, meds, quick potty/walk, indoor playtime, etc. For high-energy, active dogs, you can extend the visit to an hour for additional walking time. BOARDING - Hours are from 8am to 8pm, with some flexibility on drop off and pick up times. Your dog stays overnight at my place. I do a minimum of 2-4 walks a day, depending on your dogs needs. Owners must provide food for their pets, but I can also accommodate for an added fee of $10 per day (includes treats/meals). Please ask about food options and provide allergy info + food preferences if interested in that service. DAY CARE - Drop off for day care is between 7-8am to 4-6pm. Requests past these hours will be considered boarding. I will love and care for your pet the way you do for them. I treat every animal I care for like family, providing patience, space, and extra attention as needed. I’m super safety conscious and keen on details, so if there are any particular habits, routines, or schedules you’d like me to follow, if your pet is trained or undergoing training and there’s anything you want me to reinforce, or if your pet has special needs and requires special care, please reach out to me with those details. I am always willing and more than happy to work with you to make sure they are cared for and to give you peace of mind. Rest assured, you’ll be getting plenty of updates and photos from me!
“Vivian really took care of Jayce like her own pooch. She’s very mindful and attentive to Jayce, especially with his anxiety she is very caring and really made him feel comfortable!”
“Melissa is amazing! I know I can always count on her. She is attentive and puts her heart taking care of Cooper. When he stays with her he is always well taken care.”
“Kitty was amazing! We dropped our puppy River off in the morning. She was so responsive and gave us so many pictures and updates throughout the day! At the end of the day she provided us with a summary of all of River's naps, and potty breaks! Couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our puppy!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 5 years, including dogs, cats, and small animals. I treat every pet like family—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. I’m especially patient with shy pets and experienced with senior care, administering medication, ect. I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in kind, capable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m flexible with weekdays and weekends, and I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddle sessions, I’m committed to making pets feel safe and happy. I prioritize a calm, clean, and secure environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home . I follow all instructions carefully, keep hazardous items out of reach, and never leave pets unattended outside. I build trust with both pets and their parents through consistent care, clear communication, and regular updates.
About: Hi! NYC local here with a HUGE passion for animals. My family and I have been lucky enough to care for two Yorkies, two Pugs, a German Shepherd, a cat, a chinchilla, a guinea pig, a cockatoo, two parakeets, a turtle, a ball python, and finally, saltwater and freshwater aquariums with beautiful fishies and crayfish combined. With years of pet-loving experience, I love meeting, interacting, and playing with animals of all shapes and sizes. Having lived with so many different animals, I truly believe that each pet is its own individual with specialized needs. In nurturing my since passed nearly 18-year-old blind and deaf Lolita independently from just six years old, my huge soft spot for dogs was inevitable. From being around so many different breeds through my uncle's veterinarian business, I am also familiar with specific breed habits and the right approach to each one. I can assure you that I will always be patient and aware of their behavioral communication cues. I understand how difficult it is for you and your pup to be away from each other, so I always strive to meet your pet's every need. Working from home full-time, I have lots of flexibility for long walks and outdoor play which I thoroughly enjoy anyway. Your pet will feel right at home and you will get loads of pupdates with insta-worthy candids while you're away! I ensure your pet is treated just at home and very comfortable with any last-minute plans. Before confirming any jobs, I am also happy to meet with you and your pet if needed; just reach out c:
About: Hi there! I’ve always been surrounded by friends’ dogs (and other pets!) growing up. I remember learning how to walk, bathe and understand their dogs in elementary school and always begging my parents to have a fur baby of our own. I’ve learned a great deal through their personal journeys and am looking to have a dog of my own in the future! Your pet will be greatly loved, respected, and safe while you’re away without worry. And of course, updates and photos are guaranteed! I’m greatly detail oriented, meticulous and compassionate about all furry friends. I hope to love them like they’re my own. I work full time remote so I’ll be home fully during the week to care for your furry companion. I’m super transparent on when I’ll need to step out during weekends for commitments or errands and will let you know ahead of time. Despite being fully flexible, I would only accept boarding of dogs without any intense separation anxiety that may result in accidents in the home or continuous barking that would invoke noise complaints in my apartment building. For a suitable match, I would only board dogs that can be alone for minimum 4-5 hours. If they can only tolerate being alone <4 hours, we won’t be a great fit! I thank you ahead of time for your understanding and I’m always open for a chat if we want to talk more details! My apartment is an elevator and pet friendly building and we have a rooftop for fresh air and space. I live with my partner, no pets and with occasional friends that may visit (if your pet is okay with this)! There are parks nearby for long or short walks as well. My space is kept clean and neat at all times too! I never use harsh cleaning products in my home and I also don’t have any plants that may harm pets as well.
“Chelsie was so helpful with a last minute booking. She had some of the best communication that we’ve had on the app and provided so many photos throughout the day. Worm loved hanging out with Chelsie and Isles and we’re looking forward to booking again!”
“It was a pleasure having Ekaterina watch our 7 month old puppy, Coco for the day. She kept us fully informed with pictures and updates. Definitely recommend!”
About: I treat every pet like they're my own — not a task to check off, but a responsibility I take seriously. A few things I bring to the table: patience and consistency, which matters a lot for anxious pets, senior pets, or ones adjusting to a new routine; genuine attentiveness (I'm not on my phone ignoring the dog on a walk — I'm actually present); and reliability — if I say I'll be there at a certain time, I'm there, and owners get clear updates so they're never left wondering how their pet is doing. I'm also comfortable with senior pets who may need a gentler pace, extra bathroom breaks, or medication reminders, and with younger/more energetic pets who need more structure and exercise to stay out of trouble. I approach every pet as an individual — reading their personality and adjusting rather than using a one-size-fits-all routine. I currently share my life with a pet of my own, so caring for animals is already part of my daily rhythm — feeding, walks, and playtime happen at consistent times each day, and I know how much animals thrive on routine and attention. My work schedule gives me flexibility during the day and on weekends, which means I can offer reliable, unhurried time to the pets I care for not just squeezing in a quick visit, but actually being present with them. Whether it's a midday walk, an evening check in, or a weekend stay, I treat every pet like they're part of my own routine, not an interruption to it. In my own home, I keep a calm, consistent environment — set feeding times, regular potty breaks, and plenty of one-on-one attention so pets feel settled quickly rather than anxious. I keep spaces pet-proofed and give dogs enough exercise throughout the day that they're relaxed, not restless. When I'm in a client's home, I follow their routine exactly as given — same food, same schedule, same walk routes if provided — because consistency matters most to pets when their owner is away. I send photo/video updates so owners can see their pet is comfortable, and I treat the home with the same respect and care I'd want for my own space: doors locked, mail collected if asked, and everything left exactly as I found it. For walks, I stay attentive and present the whole time — no distractions, leash secure, watching for other animals or hazards. For sitting or drop-ins, I make sure water, food, and any medication schedules are followed precisely, and I always leave a note or message summarizing the visit.
About: Over 10 years of experience training and caring for small and large dogs including my own gentle giant. We have a laid back home with a fenced yard and I love to take pups for walks around the neighborhood or to the dog park to socialize. The most important thing is to give our pups the best care they need and set them up for success! For my own dog, we keep a regular routine for feeding and exercise. The same will apply to your dog! From you, I need to know what your dog is used to and needs so I can give them the best care. I have a fenced backyard and ability to leash dogs on the front porch for people watching. My own dog is very friendly loves to play when not snoozing.
About: Hi, my name is Neshie! I’ve had dogs my whole life, and nothing makes me happier than being surrounded by them. I currently have a Boxer and a Pitbull/Schnauzer mix, and we’re always going on walks, hikes, and park adventures together. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I also volunteer at AMA Animal Rescue, where I work with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments including anxious, fearful, and reactive pups. I also spend time with the cats there, making sure they get love and enrichment too! Between my own dogs, my shelter experience, and my time on Rover, I’ve had the chance to work with so many unique personalities and needs, and I truly love it all. I work from home full time, so my schedule is super flexible and allows me to offer everything from drop in visits and dog walks to daycare and overnight boarding. Whether your pup just needs a quick check in and potty break or a full day of play, I’ve got you covered! Your pet will always come first with me, and I will ensure their safety. I’ll always follow their usual schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime and adapt to their energy level. I’m patient, attentive, and will make sure they feel safe and comfortable during our walks. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of messages and lots of cute pictures! I absolutely love meeting new pets and making their day. I look forward to meeting them, and I’ll love them like they’re my own! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
“Jane was awesome and Bento loved his stay. Jane was a great communicator and sent lots of photo and video updates throughout the stay. I would highly recommend.”

About: I have been caring for my own dog since I was 13 years old. I handled his daily walks, baths, feeding schedule, and medications whenever he needed them. This experience taught me responsibility, patience, and attention to detail. If you're concerned about pulling or tugging during walks, I regularly go to the gym and am confident handling dogs that are energetic or strong. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am currently out of school until the end of August, which gives me a flexible schedule and full-time availability for pet care. I set aside time during the week to stay active at the gym, but I am otherwise available and able to plan my schedule around each pet's needs. I am committed to providing reliable care, exercise, attention, and companionship for every dog I look after. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also follow any special instructions, including medications, dietary needs, or preferred routines. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment where pets feel cared for and owners can have peace of mind.
“Angela did a great job! She was very kind and easy to communicate with. The walk went smoothly, and everything was handled well. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book again.”
“Irina did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our dog! She was always on time, walked her with care, and kept us updated with pictures. She is very polite and truly caring. Harley loved spending time with her. We were beyond happy with her service and will definitely be booking her again in the future. Highly, highly recommended!”

I would be comfortable offering services for dog walking and making drop-in visits. I would like getting to know your pet's routines and what would be expected from me.
“Katie was wonderful with my dog, Wednesday! She arrived right on time, kept me updated throughout the walk, and let me know about anything she encountered along the way. I really appreciated the photos she sent, which gave me peace of mind and showed that Wednesday was happy and well cared for. Katie was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about providing great service. I was extremely happy with the care she provided and will definitely be booking her again. Highly recommend!”
“Alana is great. She came to get my key and meet Suki to see her routing with fairly short notice when a work trip came up. She’s so loving with my animals and took care to follow all my directions, including giving Suki some of her arthritis meds. So happy we met!”
About: I have a kitten and an adult cat , i’ve also had a dog before as well.All my pets are well trained. I’ve volunteered at Sean Casey to dog walk plenty, I love animals. I adore animals, I’ve actually wanted to volunteer in costa rica for turtle savings and help needed:) It’s a dream ! Also love taking my partners pitbull for long walks it’s fun to connect with the animal. I have a lot of free time on my hands, I am a student and I only go two days to school in the mornings which is Monday and Wednesday. Will be studying animals in the class oceanography, I can’t wait. I have a lot of room to work and have a stable job like this. I have a kitten and an adult cat, both are trained properly by me, as well as being calm and well mannered. The adult cat I actually rescued myself and took her in as a baby she was just in a dangerous situation with a car. I also got my kitten from a rescue and raised her on my own. Those are the only two pets I have and there very friendly.
About: I treat every pet like they're my own — not a task to check off, but a responsibility I take seriously. A few things I bring to the table: patience and consistency, which matters a lot for anxious pets, senior pets, or ones adjusting to a new routine; genuine attentiveness (I'm not on my phone ignoring the dog on a walk — I'm actually present); and reliability — if I say I'll be there at a certain time, I'm there, and owners get clear updates so they're never left wondering how their pet is doing. I'm also comfortable with senior pets who may need a gentler pace, extra bathroom breaks, or medication reminders, and with younger/more energetic pets who need more structure and exercise to stay out of trouble. I approach every pet as an individual — reading their personality and adjusting rather than using a one-size-fits-all routine. I currently share my life with a pet of my own, so caring for animals is already part of my daily rhythm — feeding, walks, and playtime happen at consistent times each day, and I know how much animals thrive on routine and attention. My work schedule gives me flexibility during the day and on weekends, which means I can offer reliable, unhurried time to the pets I care for not just squeezing in a quick visit, but actually being present with them. Whether it's a midday walk, an evening check in, or a weekend stay, I treat every pet like they're part of my own routine, not an interruption to it. In my own home, I keep a calm, consistent environment — set feeding times, regular potty breaks, and plenty of one-on-one attention so pets feel settled quickly rather than anxious. I keep spaces pet-proofed and give dogs enough exercise throughout the day that they're relaxed, not restless. When I'm in a client's home, I follow their routine exactly as given — same food, same schedule, same walk routes if provided — because consistency matters most to pets when their owner is away. I send photo/video updates so owners can see their pet is comfortable, and I treat the home with the same respect and care I'd want for my own space: doors locked, mail collected if asked, and everything left exactly as I found it. For walks, I stay attentive and present the whole time — no distractions, leash secure, watching for other animals or hazards. For sitting or drop-ins, I make sure water, food, and any medication schedules are followed precisely, and I always leave a note or message summarizing the visit.
About: When I was a child my family owned and cared for dogs, horses, bunnies, and chickens which meant I became an animal caretaker at a very young age. In addition to helping to feed, groom, and clean up after our pets, I was aIso responsible for administering our dog’s daily diabetes insulin. My childhood prepared me well for becoming a dog mom to a longhaired dapple Dachshund in early 2021. I cannot imagine my life without him and cannot wait for your furbaby to become his furbuddy! I'm also the proud owner of Boogs & Boop, a small business specializing in pet accessories, with a portion of proceeds donated to supporting animal shelters and dogs in need. This commitment reflects my deep passion for caring for dogs and their well being. I work full time from home, so Dog Mom is my 24/7 job title. I am conveniently located near a park so go on at least two walks a day, weather permitting. DAYCARE CLIENTS PLEASE NOTE: 1. Daycare refers to drop off between 8-9am and 5-6pm, a 8-hour period. 2. Pick-up and drop-off times for Daycare must be scheduled in advance through direct message. 2. Late arrivals of more than 30 minutes will be charged an additional $5 per 30 minutes that you are late. Late arrivals risk interfering with other appointments, so this fee helps to accommodate that change. 3. Drop offs before 8am are subject to an Early Drop-off Fee of $10 per hour. 4. Pick up after 6pm are subject to a Late Pick-up Fee of $10 per hour. 5. Pick up after 9pm is considered boarding which is subject to double my Daycare rate. HOUSE-SITTING CLIENTS PLEASE NOTE: During house sits, I typically continue my normal schedule with other pet care clients (walks, drop-ins, etc.), so I may be out of the home for portions of the day. If your pet requires near-constant or 24/7 care, please let me know in advance. I may be able to accommodate, but this would require adjustments for my own dog and existing clients and may involve an additional fee. I care for pets in my home since I also have my furbaby to attend to. This means there’s always healthy treats, pee pads, dog wipes, and pet first aid products on hand. I understand that being away from your furbaby can be nerve-wracking, but you can rest assured that I will provide clear communication and photo updates when your pet is in my care. I do not have an attached yard, but the park is a hop, skip, and a jump away, so it’s easy to take potty breaks whenever necessary. PLEASE NOTE: 1. Please arrive with your pet on a leash. I am a strong advocate for pet safety and leash laws. 2. I do not allow guests into my home, but would be happy to meet you downstairs at drop-off and pick-up times. 3. I will ALWAYS send photos throughout the appointment, even if not directly requested. INCLEMENT WEATHER DISCLAIMER: I take all weather advisories seriously. When the heat index is above 90°F degrees or windchill is below 20°F walks will be cut short for your pet's safety and for my own. Walks will consist of “doing their business” then returning indoors. Regular service is maintained in the rain, but will be postponed due to thunder, lightning, or blizzards. Walks may be early or delayed depending on the forecast. I will always communicate with dog owners if a change of plan is necessary due to dangerous weather and temperatures. Thank you for your understanding.
About: Hi fellow pet lovers! After adopting my family doggo a few years ago, I’ve grown to love caring for and bonding with dogs. I live in a house with our lab mix, Milo, in Brooklyn. I’m experienced in dog-walking and bonus, I’m great at taking pet photos so you’ll always be in the know about how your doggo is doing! Please schedule a meet-and-greet with Milo if doing doggy day care. I currently work a full-time job, but I’m remote for three days during the week and welcome doggos to play with Milo while I’m home! I like to go on 20 minute walks at least 2-3x a day. I have a yard so during drop-in visits, your doggo can run around and sunbathe when the weather is nice. I’m very attentive on walks. During doggy day care and drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your doggo is comfortable and having a blast! Milo is a gentle soul, but he becomes highly reactive to other dogs so it takes him time to make new fur-iends. If they need to be separated, I have multiple stories in the house to allow them to decompress and get comfortable.
“Erika G has become part of my pups extended family! She is very committed to the dogs and treats them so beautifully! I never worry when she is there in my place! You will not be disappointed with her in your pups life.”
About: Hey! When it comes to loving animals and letting them chill, I’m your person. I’ve taken care of my neighbor, coworker, family and friends’ pets! I love them all and they’ll love my apartment. I cannot wait to take care of yours. I’m a professional writer working from home so I’m in my apt during the day and can spend time looking after your pet and giving them attention if they wish! I have the bay right across the street from my home so that’s where we’ll be walking! If the weather permits, we might even take a stroll to Manhattan Beach! I have a one bedroom apartment with an outdoor balcony and a high fence around it. There is lots of space indoors and out and no other pets live with me.
About: Hi all! I am crazy about all dogs and am the proud pawrent to two adopted furbabies. One male, pocket pitmix, 6 and one female, chihuahua mix, 4. Both are fixed and friendly. To prevent an intervention of being the owner of way too many dogs to be socially acceptable, I’m opting to be a Rover walker and sitter instead. I am looking to make your dog extra comfortable by having dates where we can walk, play, have treat times, and take selfies. :) Happy to oblige with requests medical/dietary needs, dog park visits, sing alongs, etc. Very flexible with traveling and breeds to house-sit. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and in the bed. Have had dogs of various sizes and breeds (poodle, chihuahua, German Shepherd, cocker spaniel, currently pocket Pit mix) in the past, and am comfortable with any best friend of yours!
About: Hi there! I’ve always been surrounded by friends’ dogs (and other pets!) growing up. I remember learning how to walk, bathe and understand their dogs in elementary school and always begging my parents to have a fur baby of our own. I’ve learned a great deal through their personal journeys and am looking to have a dog of my own in the future! Your pet will be greatly loved, respected, and safe while you’re away without worry. And of course, updates and photos are guaranteed! I’m greatly detail oriented, meticulous and compassionate about all furry friends. I hope to love them like they’re my own. I work full time remote so I’ll be home fully during the week to care for your furry companion. I’m super transparent on when I’ll need to step out during weekends for commitments or errands and will let you know ahead of time. Despite being fully flexible, I would only accept boarding of dogs without any intense separation anxiety that may result in accidents in the home or continuous barking that would invoke noise complaints in my apartment building. For a suitable match, I would only board dogs that can be alone for minimum 4-5 hours. If they can only tolerate being alone <4 hours, we won’t be a great fit! I thank you ahead of time for your understanding and I’m always open for a chat if we want to talk more details! My apartment is an elevator and pet friendly building and we have a rooftop for fresh air and space. I live with my partner, no pets and with occasional friends that may visit (if your pet is okay with this)! There are parks nearby for long or short walks as well. My space is kept clean and neat at all times too! I never use harsh cleaning products in my home and I also don’t have any plants that may harm pets as well.
About: Hi, I’m Jean and I’m really looking forward to meeting your pup! Although I have never had the opportunity to have my own dog, I have loved dogs my entire life and admire them dearly. I have worked at multiple animal daycares in Brooklyn and Manhattan and have dog sat/walked many of my friends/families dogs. I understand that your dog is your family so I strive to prove your babies comfortability is my top priority. Understandably, leaving your dog in another persons hands can be a risk but I will ensure that I leave your furry friend happy, exhausted and at the very least more comfortable with me! I have basically open availability Monday to Friday. Please message me for any further questions you may have regarding availability for taking your pup on a joy walk, hanging out together at your house or a sleepover at my apartment! Your dogs comfortability is my top priority. Whether it takes a few minutes, a few hours or even days for a dog to be comfortable, I will always do my best to attempt to ease a dog into a new situation. Please let me know if your pup has any special quirks, habits or routines and I’d be happy to accommodate!

“Patricia is great! The dogs just loved being with her and it’s so nice that she has a backyard for them to run around. She sent us pictures everyday and took great care of them ❤️”
“My dog is always stoked after hanging at Yiqi's. I'm so grateful we are able to book with her and be confident that he's getting the exercise and socializing a large dog needs. He always comes home with great energy which is super encouraging for me! Thanks always Yiqi!”
“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!”
“What a wonderful family! Pamela takes such fantastic care of our dog while we were out of the country (1 week). Constant communication and photos. Our dog was treated like a member of their family and would highly recommend them to any one looking for a pet sitter!”
“Daisy had another great stay with Rachel. She played with Teddy in the backyard with all the snow - it was very cute. Always sends photo updates. Highly recommended”
“Katerina is the BEST! I had the absolute best experience with her! She is truly amazing. She truly went above and beyond. If I could give her a 100 stars I would!”
“Sam was absolutely wonderful with Kulfi! She paid attention to all of our instructions and made sure to give her tons of affection and play time. Sam sent lots of cute pics too so I knew Kulfi was doing well! Sam was also very accommodating and actually came to pick Kulfi up since she lives close by. I can’t wait to book with Sam again soon!”
“Erica is very knowledgeable, friendly and caring. She proactively sent photos and videos of my pup during his stay. My pup enjoyed interacting with the other dogs and playing with the cat as well. I would definitely recommend Erica for anyone looking for an excellent dog sitter.”
“Deanna is fantastic! We left Ferris with her during our vacation to Mexico and he loved it. We got several updates and photos and he was very calm and relaxed upon pick up.”
“Vincent was amazing. Very responsive and helpful. Had a meet and greet and a boarding. Puppy had a great time overnight, went on walks and was taken care of well. Provided pictures during the stay. Thanks.”
“So thankful to Sydney for her kindness and care looking after Dante over a long weekend. She was prompt, responsive, and professional. She sent us daily updates and photos that we looked forward to seeing as a family. Highly recommend.”
“Steven was a great dog sitter for my two dogs! I have a pitbull and chihuahua and I could tell they had so much fun with him. He was really helpful taking care of them last minute and was very understanding when I had to change the pick up time to later.”
“Melissa was a perfect foster parent for our pup Molly. Pickup and drop off were a breeze. She sent us pictures and videos daily which was awesome because my daughter begged me daily for pictures. Melissa is really dedicated to making sure these dogs are well cared for, walked and spoiled. Molly especially loved Melissa’s dog Bando, who might be her long lost twin. Molly had a better vacation than we did and we are super grateful to have found her.”
“Kyle was so great with Darcy. He met up with us prior to her stay with him to get know her a bit and find out more about her and her routine. She took to him right away which made me happy to see that I’d be leaving her with a sitter that she really liked. He provided regular updates throughout her stay and was flexible on drop-off and pick-up. I really appreciate him taking such good care of her while I was away. Would highly recommend!”
“Vera was great! She provided updates and photos during Hunter’s stay. It really helped that her dog Gryff was around to keep Hunter company as well. We’ll definitely be using Vera again in the future :)”
“This was Bogie’s first stay with Xiao and won’t be his last. Through all the updates I could tell he was well cared for and loved. Definitely gave me peace of mind while I was away.”
“Diana was incredible! My pup clearly felt so comfortable in her home, and I appreciated her consistent check-ins to let me know how my dog was doing. I can't wait to book her again!”
“Andrej was wonderful and took amazing care of Margeaux! He was so accommodating and sweet with her. She felt right at home and had a great time! I would highly recommend Andrej and will definitely have him watch Margeaux again.”
