About: I have experience teaching dogs and puppies basic commands such as sit, lie down, stand, and stay, ensuring they develop good behavior and skills to stay obedient. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I like to stay active and constantly move on my feet, walking and running allows me to explore new neighborhoods and areas. This gives me the opportunity to meet different dogs breeds and learn about their unique traits and behaviors. I currently have pets of my own and regularly dog-sit for my sister’s German shepherd mix, ensuring he stays active by walking him four times daily to manage his high energy levels. Additionally, I have experience dog-sitting for my cousin’s pug mix, Louie, typically caring for him for about two weeks at a time. During these periods, I make sure he is bathed and groomed before returning home. Growing up, I owned a dog for approximately eight years, where I developed the essential skills needed to properly care for and manage a pet's well-being.
“Claire is amazing! She cared for our cats, as if they were her own. She followed our instructions & went above & beyond to ensure we did not worry at all. Thanks Claire we appreciate you & will definitely request you the next time!”
“This was my first time using Rover and April immediately put me at ease. She communicated openly and promptly throughout my trip, and I would 100% recommend her to other cat parents.”
About: My professional experience with dogs stems from caring for pets with the roles of Pack Leader and Receptionist while I was studying in Wisconsin. All the training I've learned is with the help of Tailwaggers Doggy Daycare. Currently, I'm working PT as a sales associate for Gap Inc., Wednesdays and Saturdays from 4:30pm-9:00pm. I am taking up petcare again to save up for school and possibly secure my own apartment. I have basic training, professional, as well as, personal experience caring for animals, fostering dogs, understanding animal behavior and being sure everyone involved is engaged or observing examples of safe play.
About: As a cat owner, I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and unique needs. My own five-year-old cat has stage 2 kidney disease, so I'm experienced with managing a specialized diet, monitoring hydration and appetite, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior that may signal something isn't right. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat in someone else's care, especially when they have medical or dietary needs. Whether your cat is energetic and playful, shy and independent, I'll care for them with the same compassion and attention to detail that I give my own.
“First time having a ca sitter who wasn’t a personal friend and they put me at ease with the whole thing. Very kind but still professional and my cat instantly got along with them which was great!”
“Shanna did an amazing job caring for my cats while I was away on a much-needed vacation. From our initial meeting, my cats took to her right away, which was such a relief! She was very responsive and shared thoughtful, detailed updates in each Rover card. I genuinely looked forward to reading them after every visit. It was clear she cared for Skylar & Jackson as if they were her own. I was able to feel at ease during my trip because I knew they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Omolayo was great! This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous but I felt very safe with her in my home and with my fur baby. She sent pictures every day of giving him treats and playtime. Will definitely contact her again for future visits!”

“This was my first time hiring a cat sitter and my experience was absolutely wonderful. Melissa took very good care of my cats when I was away, especially my diabetic baby who I was most concerned about. She followed the instructions I gave her and kept me updated along the way. She was very attentive. I truly appreciate her. I will definitely book her again.”
About: I usually work with shy, aggressive or fearful dogs or cats. It can take weeks, months or years to befriend them but when you do it's extremely rewarding, especially when an animal someone deems "dangerous" comes out to be the biggest sweetheart. I have tons of patience and I believe every species of animal deserves love and respect. As humans, it's our duty to be the voices and guardians of the animals in our care. They look to us for comfort, guidance, love and peace. That's why I do anything in my power to donate or volunteer at animal shelters because every animal should know that there's humans out there that actually care about their well being. Working with animals is a great career for me. Update; 8/2020 I’ve been volunteering and working with pets as a professional pet care provider for five years now. Through my journey I’ve learned pet CPR and gained dog training knowledge through Poochpals llc as well as worked as a dog handler at walterspetstyles. I’m currently working on becoming a certified dog trainer and furthering my knowledge on Pet care. At Poochpals we believe in being a friend for life so I’m definitely bringing our motto into the field and looking to become a furever friend for your pets. If you’re ever in need of an actual PROFESSIONAL pet care provider, look no further! I also have basic training knowledge so don’t be surprised if your pup or cat comes back knowing a few new tricks 😂 I have open availability Monday-Sunday. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! My dog, Odin, loves to make new friends of all species. Updates:4/7/2026 Hello friends! I would not be at 29 Hanford anymore due to instability, so I’m moving my business down to NYC before heading to PA. We have multiple fences in house and around the property. Pups are also supervised 24/7 and we have a designated dog room just for them. Back porch is also secured with gates. Dogs aren’t allowed on the lawn without human supervision and a 20ft leash. Lawn is fenced. We have strict safety procedures when it comes down to pets and children.

“What a lovely person - I’d give her 100 stars if that were an option. To explain, I had to go into my office LAST minute and at 1230 am it was my first time using this app and I posted requests for someone to basically dog sit for the same day- she was immediately responsive even though it was a last minute request. I saw she had already gotten consistent great reviews and I was worried to leave my 7 week old shih tsu (like a baby) with anyone ) -Jameeka she handles all dog ages - she was responsive, kept me updated throughout the day. I even got stuck in traffic on the way for pick up and was late she was fine. The top 3 reasons I give Jameeka 5 stars is because 1) she is the opposite of stressful and worked with my unique needs, 2) she has great communication skills snd 3) it is clear she is an expert - my puppy was returned perfectly she gave me some updates and my puppy was happy and fell right asleep because Jameeka ensured my puppy got play time and exercise time - thank you !”

She was incredibly pleasant, accommodating, and truly seemed to care about my pet's well-being. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“My Georgia loved Ai so much that when she dropped her off at the end of the day, Georgia tried to walk away with her! Ai sent us pictures and videos throughout the day to let us know how Georgia was doing, and gave her lots of outdoor time in the sun. When Georgia came home she was happy and tuckered out (in a good way!)”
“Francesca was such an amazing sitter for Mateo!! Mateo and Alvin got along super well, and as a Rover sitter myself, I absolutely loved all the pics and videos Francesca sent of them. She was super patient and helpful, and I will definitely book with her again!!”
“Sara accepted our last minute request to take care of our doggo Frankie. She has been the kindest and cared for our pup as if he’a her own :) She also has two pups at home so Frankie felt more confident being around his kind ahha.

“The excitement Cheese had when I dropped him off as the days went showed that Cheese really enjoyed his time with Lenford. I really appreciated the pictures during the day and during pickup I got a download on Cheese’s activities throughout the day (he mainly napped). I’d use Lenford again for any of my pet needs!”

“Dayana was an excellent sitter, she was caring and attentive to my pup who has separation anxiety. She sent me many photos throughout the day and kept me filled in on Giuseppe’s activities. I recommend Dayana, and would contact her again!”

About: Ive been caring for a wide range of animals since i was 11 years old. Parakeets, rabbits, frogs, dogs and cats. Im currently taking care a senior dog of my own who is 15yrs old, and I am also enrolled in classes to become a Veterinary Technician. I work from home, so I currently have full availability Monday through Sunday, your pet will not be left alone at all. I’m also available daily for evening walks or drop-ins. My schedule allows me to provide consistent and reliable care without overbooking. I proactively remove anything pets could trip over, chew on, or accidentally ingest. For high energy animals, I make sure the space is secure and free of items that could be knocked over or cause injury. During walks, I stay extremely attentive to our surroundings. I’m very aware of other dogs’ body language and will always cross the street or change routes if I sense potential reactivity or if your pet shows any signs of discomfort. I prioritize calm, controlled, and positive experiences at all times
“Our usual sitter who’s heaven sent is currently going through a personal trial and had to put a pause on dog sitting. So we turned to Rover and found Shanna. And we couldn’t be happier. She updated us throughout the day which made us feel at ease. She enjoys what’s she does and she’s such a sweetheart. We truly found another great sitter. Our dogs came home and went straight to their beds to take a nap. She played with them all day. She’s also very compassionate. She encountered an unexpected event and she updated us and actually mollified our concerns. There is something calming about someone who takes pride in what they do. And that is what Shanna was. And her mother and family are sweet. We will be booking with her again. And again……and again.”
“Iyana is so great! She's super friendly and communicative and our Mel took to her so quickly! She's a great host for doggy day care as her place is quiet and she works from home. Will definitely be using her more in the future!”
About: I got my baby Bambi in 2020 when she was just 9months. I was caring for my grandma cat and my sister dog already and wanted my own. It was the best decision I ever made, I learned responsibility and how to train dogs. I have been loving Bambi since. I am a full time dog mum. I am in online school so I have plenty of free time that I spend with Bambi. We go to the park and little day trips. My dad also lives with me, he is retired, loves animals and will help me out. I love Bambi and treat her as my own baby. She is allowed on all furniture so is your pet. We play fetch in the house/hallway when weather is bad or cuddle up. When I have other pets visiting I like to first let them explore the space. Then I like to take them on a walk around the neighborhood alone so they can get a sense of the environment. I like to get plenty new toys and treats so they are comfortable.
“Jessica was great! I had a extremely last minute work meeting and had to find a sitter in less than 24 hours. Jessica was super flexible and able to take care of Blue. Blue got tons of playtime in with her and came back falling asleep, which was amazing for me because it was close to bedtime! Would definitely recommend her and use again!”

“It’s been amazing experience with Shannakae as a first time user of Rover. She is very caring and patient with our Cane Corso. You can tell that she really enjoys what she does. She is very genuine and easy to talk to. Great with communication! Wow! We love that she looks out for our dog’s best interest by giving us any recommendations that make him feel more comfortable and safe. Our dogs fell in love with her right away. She takes care of Hachi as her own :) At first, I was a bit worried because we’ve never hired a dog walker through the app, but Shannakae gives us piece of mind. I would recommend hiring her anytime, hands down! We are extremely pleased and thankful for how well she takes care of Hachi. Your pet will be in good hands! She is very reliable, quick responsive and extremely friendly. Hachi adores her! We look forward to continuing working with you! :)”
About: I am extremely aware of what kind of attention animals need, both nurturing and caring, and I am always taking care of my friends dogs and cat sitting for people. I also have owned a dog named Indy in the past. I am currently working part-time in the evening and have PLENTY of time to take care of and nurture dogs and go out of for amazing long walks and sit for them. I usually like to go on walks and runs for 30 minutes minimum. I live close to a dog park, so I like I like to play activities like play fetch and throw frisbees for them to catch. If they are friendly, I will occasionally allow them to play with another owner’s dog if the owner consents to it. And then we relax. I love to cuddle to and snuggle on the comic with dogs while watching a movie or just to give them lots of pets. I am very attentive to pets and try my best and giving them games and exercise to entertain them, while also monitoring their diets, their health, and making sure the environment is danger-proof for them so that they don’t get hurt or injure themselves. I am very empathetic and intelligent when it comes to taking care of pets, and apply the ultimate rule of safety first when having fun.

About: I’ve taken many of my friends’ pets in during times when they’re away and the pets have become like family! I love meeting new pets and exposing them to exercise and rewarding them with yummy treats. Since leaving corporate life, I have nothing but time to accommodate, host or hang out with a little furry friend. We can run errands together, explore the neighborhood or even just enjoy a relaxing chill moment. Your dog can be easily kept/in crate on my side of my apartment. My roommate is also very pet-friendly and welcomes the company of any furry friends we may make!
About: I’ve spent the past 8 years caring for my dog, Dulce, so taking care of a pet has been a big part of my everyday life. I have experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure she’s safe and comfortable. I also live with my girlfriend and her cat, so I’m used to being around and caring for both dogs and cats. Living with them has taught me how different every pet can be and how important patience, attention, and routine are. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give the pets in my own home. I’m currently available throughout the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available Monday through Friday for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, as well as drop-in visits. I can also be flexible with scheduling depending on you and your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding walks, feeding, routines, and behavior. I’ll keep your dog securely leashed during walks, stay aware of our surroundings, and give them plenty of attention and care. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I'm a lifetime animal lover with experience caring for dogs & cats of all sizes, ages, and dispositions. My priorities are to provide your pet(s) the attention they need to stay happy & healthy, and provide you with clear and consistent communication!

“Our dogs, Henny and Loki, love it when Asher comes over to dogsit them! He is so caring and attentive and they love all the pets he gives them. Asher is very communicative and we know that they are always in good hands with him.”
About: I've been caring for animals in different capacities for at least a year, and being a cat owner myself has shown me how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Our pets are family, and they deserve to be treated with the same love and attention we give them ourselves. I have experience walking dogs, as well as caring for cats with specific needs. Specifically, with my own cat who has kidney disease and eats prescription food. Additionally, I have experience administering medication (through food as well as by syringe). My goal is to provide every pet with compassionate, reliable care while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family members are in good hands. My schedule is currently very flexible for the summer, allowing me to accommodate a variety of booking needs. Before any service, I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet's routine and needs, and ensure we're a great fit. I want you to feel completely comfortable and confident that your pet will be in caring, reliable hands. When your pet is with me, they'll receive plenty of affection, playtime, and personalized care based on their needs and personality. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated, so you can expect regular messages, along with adorable photos and videos, to let you know how your furry friend is doing and how their walk or visit is going.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience and attentiveness to each pet’s unique needs. Growing up, I helped care for my cousin's dog who had epilepsy, which taught me to recognize signs of seizures, administer medication on schedule, and stay calm in emergencies. This experience helped me develop patience and a strong sense of responsibility in handling special needs pets. Along with my personal experience caring for my own cats, I approach each pet with compassion and a commitment to following their individual routines and health requirements, ensuring their comfort and safety at all times. Taking care of my two cats is a daily priority. I feed them in the morning and evening, clean their litter, and set aside time to play with them, making sure they’re happy and well-cared-for. If I were to care for a client’s pet, I’d follow similar routines based on their specific instructions, tailoring feeding, play, and any special needs to keep their pet comfortable and happy in their environment.

About: I have 20+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from bouncy puppies to sweet seniors who like things done just so. I’ve worked in home settings, salons, and veterinary environments, so I’m comfortable with everything from daily walks and playtime to medications, special diets, and senior support. I’m especially good with anxious, shy, or high-energy dogs, and I believe great care means reading body language, respecting routines, and delivering plenty of love (and belly rubs). Your dog will be safe, happy, and probably a little spoiled while you’re away. My schedule is flexible and reliable, which means I’m able to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I plan my days around care routines—not rushing visits—so dogs get proper walks, playtime, and calm companionship, and cats get patience, consistency, and respect for their space. I communicate clearly about availability, stick to agreed-upon times, and make sure you always know when I’ve arrived and how your pet is doing. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, whether they’re in my home or their own. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping things familiar and low-stress. This includes meals on schedule, walks or playtime as usual, medications if needed, and plenty of attention at their comfort level. I’m very mindful of body language and energy, especially for anxious or senior pets, and I always move at their pace. Cleanliness, safety, and communication are a priority, so you’ll receive regular updates and photos while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel secure, cared for, and relaxed, not disrupted.

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!”
“Rachel and John were amazing! They took such great care of my tiny girl. Lily got along with their dog so well, and she loved running around in the back yard. Rachel always sent me pics and videos when I was missing her and I am so happy Lily was loved and cared for while I was away. I travel frequently for work and it is so reassuring knowing that I found someone I can trust going forward. Will definitely be using them again, and thank you so much!!!”
“I chose Rachel to board my cat for a three and a half week trip. I am so glad Rachel was my choice! She communicated consistently and sent pictures. If anything seemed to be worrisome, she reached out right away. In addition to her updates about my cat's behavior, she showed that she took care of my cat with care and love for animals. I will definitely be using Rachel again and highly recommend her!”
“Megan was such a wonderful dog sitter! She took care of our big dog very well. She sent us pictures everyday so that how he was doing. We could see he had a great time. Thank you, Megan!”
“Our dog instantly felt comfortable from the moment he met Regina! She sent pictures throughout the day and communicated well. Took very good care of our good boy. He was all smiles and tail wags when we picked him back up! Will absolutely book with Regina again!”
“Sydney was a great sitter. She communicated well and responded quickly to our request. She welcomed a "get to know you visit" so that our dog could meet Henry her cat. She updated us with photos and was flexible with our drop off and pick up times. We will certainly use her again.”
“Deanna is amazing. She stayed in contact with us and sent pictures with daily reports. Ferris seemed VERY relaxed during his stay with her. We will be requesting more stays at Deanna’s in the future!”
“Deja was amazing! Our normal sitter was unable to sit Ollie and Deja was able to jump in a pinch. Deja did an amazing job, sent many pictures, and even gave Ollie a bath. Ollie had a great time! Deja was very communicative and has a huge space. Highly recommend Deja especially if you’re in the Bushwick/ Bed-Stuy area!”
“Jared was great - my pups clearly loved staying with him and his two dogs. When we walked by a few days later, both my dogs looked up and got excited at his building - not sure you could possibly have a better seal of approval!”
“My dog Wishbone boarded with Alexandra for several days. She was extremely communicative and obviously very sweet with him! I'd trust her with Wishbone again with enthusiasm.”
“Hands down the best sitter we’ve had in New York so far. Renzo was very attentive to the instructions we gave for Louna. He and his wife gave her so much love and attention, and sent us so many beautiful pictures and videos daily, that not at once were we worried for our baby. They made us feel more than comfortable to have her with them and there is no doubt we have found Loulou’s new sitter. Thank you Renzo!!!”
“Cassi and Adam were fantastic! Super communicative, flexible, and kind. My dog is pretty anxious but they were super patient and took great care of him. He had a great time!”
“Gavriel was great with my husky! She kept me updated and sent me photos throughout her stay and made sure my husky had a great time. I highly recommend her if u need someone to watch over your pet!”
