“I’m so happy I found Emily! My dog tends to be pretty high energy and which makes me a little nervous. Emily was awesome— she communicated with me and sent me photos through out Harlem’s stay. He was very calm and well taken care of. I will certainly be booking again!!”
“This was the first time being away from our dog and Nicole did a great job at making him and my family feel at ease! She regularly kept me updated with messages and pictures and took very good care of him. Will definitely use her again!”
“Sabrina was so attentive and caring. She took amazing care of my puppy. He just had a surgery and I didn’t have to worry about him at all during my trip. Thanks again”
“I left my elderly Little Lady with Anny during a family emergency and she was able to help out on such short notice. Anny bought snacks for Reina and kept her fed and very happy :) Anny let me know everyday how happy and secure Reina was. I knew she was with an amazing and loving family for the weekend. They even left me with the most beautiful Valentines day basket afterwards with a custom blanket and printed photos! Literally could not have asked for a better situation ❤️😊”
“Had to go to a funeral overseas and Grace swooped in to take care of Ranger with short notice. She did an excellent job with him all i had to provide was food. Hes very shy and timid around strangers, but he warmed up the Grace in no time.”
“Margarita and Cris took good care of our dog. Margarita is very polite, kind and responsive. While we were away she texted us pictures and updates of our pup, which was a really thoughtful touch. We definitely recommend her !”
“My pug Charlie had another wonderful time with Abbie and Peachy. Charlie feels really safe with Abbie even though she is a little anxious and Peachy is a great friend that helps Charlie to stay active and socialized especially in this cold weather. Outstanding hosts!”
“Bambi had a great time with Iliana! Iliana updated me daily and Bambi returned as a happy pup. Iliana was very responsive and worked within my traveling schedule. Everything worked out perfectly, will definitely go back to Iliana next time. :)”
“Nari and Ryan were such amazing and loving caretakers. They clearly have found their calling as they sent pictures daily, walked my dog regularly and anticipated both pets needs. I give them an A++ . Dont hesitate to book with them. What a loving and smazing family.”
“I can’t believe I’m writing this review so late! I was traveling for a lot of August and I was able to come across Iona’s boarding services when a last minute trip change occurred. I met with her and her husband the day prior to drop off for a temperament test , which my social boy did well on. The next day I dropped him off and I really really appreciated the pictures posted and sent to me and the quick communication!! That was one of my biggest things, I really really appreciated that. So much so that I am currently about to book another boarding service haha: if your baby feels comfortable around other dogs and enjoys play, this will be like summer camp haha Thank you for your flexibility with airline issues and again just the reassurance and communication. Hopefully Ollie will be back soon !!”
“Our Louie had an amazing “staycation” with Veronica and her wonderful family! He is treated like a much-loved family member every time he stays with Veronica! As much as we miss Louie when he cannot travel with us, we know that he is in such capable and loving hands with Veronica. All we have to say is “Mama Veronica” to Louie and he runs to jump in the car… he can’t wait to go to her house!! Veronica is a blessing! 🐾❤️🐾”
“We had great communication with Shirley throughout the entire process. We did a meet and greet before the stay, and she asked thoughtful questions beforehand to really get to know our dog. During the stay, she shared lots of photos and videos, which we truly appreciated. She was also very flexible and accommodating when we had to change our plans due to the snowstorm. Highly recommend!”
“Liming took such wonderful care of our cats, Tiwdew and Shiny, while we were away on a trip. She was communicative throughout, sending updates and photos that put our minds at ease every step of the way. Both cats were happy, healthy, and clearly well looked after when we got home -you could tell they’d been given real attention and care, not just the basics. Liming is reliable, trustworthy and genuinely loves animals. We’d book with her again and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter!”
“Lio is truly a beloved member of our family and is adored by my three children. I am very selective about where I leave him and rarely trust anyone else to care for him. From the very beginning, both Sayarlin and her husband were incredibly kind, caring, and attentive with our "big boy", who think he is a Chihuahua. Whenever I called or had a question, they were always responsive and thoughtful, which gave me great peace of mind. One thing I especially appreciated is that they have access to an outdoor space in New York, allowing Lio to get fresh air and feel comfortable outside of the apartment setting. Their love for animals is obvious, and they treated Lio as if he were their own. I highly recommend their dog-sitting service to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet care.”
“I am so thankful Charlie was available for a last minute booking/ boarding for our dog, Bibi. After communicating our needs, we knew Charlie was a great fit. Our dog felt right at home, and Charlie communicated frequently throughout her time there, including sending picture and video updates unprompted. We would love the opportunity to re-book with Charlie in the future.”
“Diane has been a lifesaver! Prompt updates and photos, amazing response time, wonderful service & Luna was very happy! Which is what everyone ultimately needs to know while they are separated from their pet. Diane has been amazing and we will definitely be using her again in the future if needed!”
“Juliana was great. She met with Lady before her stay which was great because when I dropped her off she pretty much left me behind. Juliana asked lots of questions and took notes. She made me feel very comfortable able leaving lady with her. She sent picture and updates of lady while I was away… Highly recommend”
“Sarah gave Dante an outstanding stay caring for him while we were away visiting family do 3 days. She sent plenty of photos and kept us updated several times a day on how he was doing. She took Dante on 2-3 walks a day and gave him plenty of opportunities to make new furry friends at Central Park. Highly recommend Sarah and hope we can work together again!”
“Qin En took good care of my cat Echo while I was out of town. She sent me multiple pictures/videos a day so I can enjoy my vacation while making sure my cat is doing well. She genuinely loves cats and actually any animals! 😂 highly recommend 😊”
“I had an amazing experience with our pet sitter and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. From the very beginning, she was reliable, professional, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated throughout each day with regular texts and plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Thank again so much!!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets my whole life but really started about 5 years ago. When I was young I would help neighbors, friends, and family with their pets and loved it. From daily walks and feeding to baths and playtime, I treat every pet like my own. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I am understanding that some pets may need extra patience or a lot of activity for a high-energy and playful pup. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved. I’m a graduate student with evening classes only, so I am free throughout the day to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and love! I am able to take pets on long walks in various different areas depending on breed and energy levels for the pet to ensure they have a positive experience!
About: Since very young I had the honor of taking care of my family cat that lived to 22! Aside from all of the wonderful moments we cherished I also cherish my animals in other ways. Full Time I am a photographer and I’d love to photograph and capture those sweet moments with your furry friends!
“Hemei did a great job taking care of our cat. She did everything we asked and was very communicative. We felt very comfortable being away with our cat in her care and would definitely book her again.”
About: I was born into a family of animal lovers and have spent my entire life surrounded by fur babies. Because I grew up in a home with more cats than dogs, I developed a deep, natural intuition for feline behavior. I understand that every cat is an individual.. some need high energy playtime, while others just want a quiet presence to feel safe. I am experienced in everything from the zoomies and deep-cleaning litter boxes to the gentle patience required for shy or senior cats. Whether it’s keeping them on their feeding schedule or providing the perfect chin scratches, I treat every cat like they are my own family.
“Ari did a great job dropping in to take care of my cat for several days. I'd book him again and would highly recommend him to others as well. He was easy to work with and did everything as instructed.”
“Jialarie is such a great sitter! She was very communicative and made sure my cats ate and were taken care of while on vacation! I would choose her to take care of my cats again if needed! If you’re thinking about having her take care of ur pets I would definitely recommend her!”
“We had not gone on vacation in a long time because we were always worried about our senior cat. She is fussy, sensitive to change, particular about people, and very much the queen of the house—so leaving her was not something we took lightly. Then we found Anny through Rover, and from the very beginning she was warm, professional, receptive, and incredibly accommodating. She followed our feeding instructions perfectly, sent daily photos and videos, and gave us real peace of mind while we were halfway around the world. Before even the second day, our cat looked completely at home. Anny’s place is spotless, bright, sunny, climate-controlled, and clearly set up with care. In fact, Anny doted on our cat so much that she came home a little spoiled—and barely wanted to leave! We highly recommend Anny. Her care is thoughtful, safe, loving, and absolutely worth it. Thanks to her, we can finally travel again knowing our cat is in wonderful hands.”

About: Hi! I’m [Your Name], a passionate dog lover and dedicated pet care professional. With years of hands-on experience walking and caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I treat every pup like they’re my own. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long adventure walk, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to make sure your furry friend is happy, healthy, and safe. Reliability, communication, and genuine care are at the heart of everything I do. Let me give your dog the love and exercise they deserve — tails will wag, I promise! On an average I run 4-6 miles daily. As a digital artist who works from home I tend to find myself with a lot of energy left and lots of times I would rather spend with animals and being active at that. As a husky owner and a dog that needs lots of attention and walks, my dog is my best friend. He runs with me a lot, and I care for my dog as well as my other pets very attentive, extremely nurturing (it’s a habit), and with so much play time.
“Joy did a great job checking in on my cat, Pierre. She followed all of my instructions for feeding and litter cleaning, and sent me pics of my little man each day and at each visit, I could tell he was excited to see her, made me happy to know he was in good hands. Thanks to her reliability, I came home to a very happy kitty!”
About: Hi! I’m Amae — a lifelong animal lover who truly grew up surrounded by pets. I was raised with a sweet pit bull and two cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural (and happy) part of my life. I also have experience helping my mom with babysitting and pet care through the app, so I understand the importance of trust, communication, and consistency when caring for someone else’s fur babies. I’m currently a responsible college student who loves being around animals in my free time. Right now, I’m also a bunny mom, so I’m used to routines, gentle handling, and giving lots of love and attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I know how special pets are, and I’d be happy to help care for yours 🐶🐱🐰✨ Pet care is already a built-in part of my daily routine. Every day, I make time to feed and play with my cat, as well as care for my bunny. That means fresh food and water, enrichment time, cleaning their spaces, and making sure they’re both getting attention and affection. I really value creating a calm, consistent routine for animals, so checking in on them throughout the day has just become second nature to me. In other people’s homes, I respect house rules, keep things tidy, and maintain clear communication so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s checking collars and leashes before walks, monitoring playtime, or making sure they have fresh water. I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention I give my own.

“Veronica was so wonderful with my boy and understanding of his anxiety and slowness to trust. She send lots of photos and updates during the day and was incredibly communicative. I will be using her frequently moving forward!”
“Emily was absolutely amazing! She is incredibly professional, flexible, and easy to communicate with. From the start, she made everything smooth and stress-free, always keeping me updated and making sure my dog was well taken care of. You can really tell she cares and takes her work seriously. I felt completely confident leaving my dog with her, and I could see how happy and comfortable he was the entire time. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy, and top-quality care. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Hi my name is Kassidy! I’m 20, my mom helps me take care of dogs/cats as well😁mommy daughter boarding services, Pups say they love the 🏡 yard the most 😆 I’ve cared for many loving dogs in my 20 years. Dogs/Cats are so adorable and I love spending time with them. I definitely treat them like they’re my actual children 😂 I’m working from home so I have most of my time open to spending it with your pet! They’ll have plenty of rubs, hugs, and attention between us ☺️ My home has a fenced in yard for lots of running around. ⚽️ I like to play outside with the pups as they run off that energy. I know they’ll love it.
“This was a perfect match. Lily connected with Veronica and her husband right away. Veronica has a calm , warm and pleasant personality. I immediately felt comfortable leaving Lily at her home and in her care. I met her two fur babies and saw how sweet and loving they are. This was an excellent day for Lily because she was able to enjoy Veronica’s backyard and front porch while being off her leash. Thank you”
About: I have over a decade of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. As a current multi-pet owner with a mini poodle and a rescue cat, I am an expert at managing a happy, harmonious home and catering to different personality types. What sets my care apart is the activity level and location. I live just 20 feet from one park and a 5-minute walk from another, making outdoor time effortless. My schedule is built around your pet's needs: when I'm home, they get four walks a day, and even on my office days, they are guaranteed three solid walks with plenty of park time. My home is a true 'pet paradise'—fully stocked with a massive variety of dog and cat toys to suit any play style, from high-energy fetch to interactive puzzle games. I also treat your pets like my own by exclusively serving ZeroWater filtered water for premium hydration. I am highly observant, deeply responsible, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, active, and loved. My weekly routine is highly structured to guarantee your pet gets plenty of regular exercise and potty breaks. Since I work from home on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I am able to take dogs out for four walks a day (morning, lunch break, evening, and right before bed). On Mondays and Thursdays when I go into the office, I still ensure they get three solid walks (a long morning walk, an evening walk, and one right before sleep). I am always home for overnight boarding, and my weekends are fully open for even more playtime and park visits! Because I am a pet owner myself with a dog and a cat, my home is fully set up for animal safety. My environment is supervised, and I am particularly careful about keeping curious pets away from indoor plants or other hazards. I provide a calm, structured space where your pet can relax while I work from my home office. I also believe in total transparency and will send you frequent photo and video updates so you can see your pet enjoying their time, whether we're playing fetch at the park or lounging at home. To ensure every guest feels at home, I provide multiple dog beds in various sizes throughout the apartment. This allows each dog to have their own dedicated space to retreat to and relax, which is especially helpful for pups who might be a little timid at first!
“I truly recommend Dan. This is my first time using Rover and naturally wanting the best for my dog, I wanted to make sure she’d be good, and Dan made sure of that. She always checked in with me, provided me updates of Daisy through pictures and videos, and always responds when she can.”
“The sitter was great. Even willing to groom my dog and trim her nails. The only mix up was the drop-off location which took me twenty minutes out of the way otherwise I'd give five stars.”
“Outstanding and professional. She is a dog whisperer for my sweet pug with mild anxiety. Very nice convenient location and I could sense the warmth and love before and during the incredible service provided!”
“Ever since Ace’s first stay, I haven’t trusted anyone else to watch him. He’s always so excited to see Athena, which gives me complete peace of mind knowing he’s happy and well cared for. Athena is truly amazing, she’s reliable, caring, and treats Ace like he’s one of her own. I couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
“Julia was great! We left our puppy Sonny with her one afternoon until the afternoon the next day and she kept sending us updates and pictures of him having fun. This made us feel so good knowing that she was taking the best care of him and that he was happy. We would definitely recommend and use Julia again.”
“Denys was absolutely exceptional. She took Luna in on a last minute request and was amazing. Luna came home happy and ready for bed each day. Denys did an amazing job, and I will be using her again for sure!”
“Yakie was amazing to my puppy! Took time to make sure his feeding schedule and trainings at home were incorporated throughout the day. She gave updates on how he did with his other puppy friends and he came home tired after a day of playing.”
“Wendy and her husband took great care of my dog and sent me updates during the day. Zoe can be shy and sensitive at first with new people, but she warmed up to them so quickly! Their dog Hero is so cute and playful as well. I would recommend her, and Zoe looks forward to her next daycare there!”
“I’m so happy I found Nari and Ryan. They cared for my Chester as if he were their own dog. I felt so comfortable leaving him with their family. He slept like a baby because they gave him good walks. He also was so happy to return the next day, wagging his tail and running to their door for day 2. They are the best!”
“I was so worried to leave my 9 week old puppy with someone so soon, but Elijah reassured me that my puppy would be in good hands. Drop off and pick up were seamless and I received photos throughout the day. 10/10 definitely recommend!”
“I am so glad I find sue on Rover. She is great with my dog. She will keep update on the condition of my dog and send me pictures. On top of that, she is very flexible with scheduling. I had issue of not able to pick up my dog on time and she is very accommodating. Will book her again. Thanks sue!”
About: I have cared for dogs for the last 30 years. I work from home, so I will be able to give 24 hour attention to your pet. I think of pets as part of the family. My dogs have always roamed the house, and are allowed on the furniture. I have a fenced in yard and love to give your fur baby tons of love and affection. I have cared for senior dogs, and have taken care of two of my own until they passed (14, and 17) I am currently working from home, so I can give your fur baby 24-hour attention. I will follow your routine or schedule with walks and feedings. I have a fenced-in yard with space to run. I live near a huge wooded park just near the Whitestone Bridge. Dogs love to walk there (of course, on a leash) and explore the neighborhood. My home is multi-level, and I allow my own dogs in all areas of the house. My own dog Jilly, is extremely friendly and is very well trained. We trained her from a young age. If you do a meet and greet, I'm sure you won't be dissapointed.

“Anny is great with Cooper. She is very attentive to him and provides a great reasonably priced service. I've used her many times and we're never disappointed about the care he receives. Cooper always wants to stop by her house to play basketball. 😁”
“Very good job taking care of Echo and be flexible with times to walk him. Kamryn is receptive to advice about the dog and seemed to be excited to interact with him during walks.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember! Growing up with many friends, family members, and neighbors that trusted me in caring for their dogs, I gained a lot of experience in interacting with dogs of any size and age. I have also done some volunteer work in shelters walking and checking-in on the animals (dogs and cats), including babysitting a newborn litter of puppies. I’m currently working part-time during the evenings and weekends in Manhattan for the summer, so I have most of my mornings free to play and get to know your pet during the week! In walking your pet and giving them their daily dose of exercise, I am easily adaptable to their personalities and needs! I am very gentle and patient with my pet at home and I am with every pet I’ve taken care of/will take care of. I can offer higher-energy dogs with more of a workout during our walk by adding in a jog or even taking them to a dog park their parent is comfortable with. I can also follow the pace of older/calmer/special-needs pups.

About: I’m an animal-lover and proud pawrent of 13 years with experience caring for all kinds of dogs with all kinds of personalities (even the occasional cat). Whether you need frequent walkings, short to long-term sittings, or the occasional drop-in, I’ll make sure that your doggo feels loved, cared for, and most importantly, knows they’re a good girl or boy ❤️. I am currently a student and work part-time at my school during the academic year. In the summertime, I have open availability. During the academic year, I create a flexible schedule allowing for adequate time to focus on pet care. I like to meet dogs where they are at while applying safety awareness. I focus on identifying triggers for reactive furry friends. I also implement safeguards to ensure the security and safety of our furry friends.
About: I have been caring for pets for many years. Over time, I’ve helped friends and family by walking their dogs, caring for their pets, and even housing them while they were away on vacation. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and exercise. I’m available several days a week for walks, check-ins, and giving your pets extra care and attention while you’re busy. Whether your dog needs a quick walk or a longer outing, I’d love to help care for your lovely pets! I have a fenced large yard with plenty of space! Your dog can run around in the safety of the yard and have a blast !
“Hemei has been great with my dog Kiara! She walks her a 3-4 times a week and is very responsive, professional, and communicative. She is very flexible with her schedule which is amazing since my week to week work schedule sometime varies. Hemei made the extra trek for a meet and greet before starting so that I could rest assured that my dog would be comfortable with her. She is reliable and a true dog lover and you know she will look after your fur baby as her own. Highly recommend her!”
About: Raising my own pup since 3 months old I tend to cherish every moment I can. In my personal life I do photography and would love to capture those special moments with your pups. Full Time I am a photographer which allows me to be extremely flexible for your furry friends. Anytime and anywhere I am ready to care for your pups while also capturing some cute pictures in the process! My home consists of a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with plenty of space for the pup to lounge. I also have a very huge fenced backyard for the pup to run as much as they please. Personally I own a Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier who’s 6 years old and 55lbs. He is extremely friendly, gentle with smaller dogs, and still loves to run around and play at his age. If needed he can be isolated from your dog via separate rooms.
About: Hi my name is Tabitha, every body calls me Tabi for short. I am a huge animal lover. I love all animals of all breeds and sizes. I grew up with animals my whole life. I've had hamsters, rabbits, dogs, cats, turtles, etc. Mostly cats and dogs. I am interested in animal caring because i want a puppy so bad, but will not be able to get one any time soon. My last dog Oreo, was a pit bull, and i had her for 13 years (her whole life). I live in an apartment and have a cat. I am home 80% of the time and i am always alone. The other 20% i am out running errands. I will like to enjoy the company of an energetic, playful, outgoing, silly and loving dog, cat, etc, who can make my day a bit brighter. I will love, cherish, and enjoy the company of your pet(s), as if they were my very own. Pet sitting is my primary focus, as I am home 80% of the day. My routine is very flexible, only stepping out briefly for quick errands, which means your fur baby will have constant companionship and supervision. Because I’m around so much, I can easily stick to your pet's specific feeding, potty, and play schedules without any interruptions. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. When I’m in a client's home, I maintain a calm and secure environment, ensuring all doors and gates are double-checked. Since I grew up in a family that always had more cats than dogs, I am an expert at reading body language to ensure pets feel safe and never overstimulated. I provide frequent updates and photos so you can have total peace of mind while you're away.

She always makes sure the walk is 30 minutes (and sometimes more!), but he always comes back super happy to have been on a walk with her. We are very grateful for her. ❤️ And we totally recommend!”

Since I was little I have taken care of dogs, my friends or family have always given me their trust to walk them and bathe them. It would be at the client's house, because where I live, I'm not allowed to have animals inside the house. What else can be done about it?

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, and they tend to trust me quickly. I’ve cared for many different pets over the years, including dogs, small animals, and birds. I successfully home-trained my rabbit and hand-trained and hand-tamed four parakeets, helping them feel comfortable and bonded with me within their first week at home. I’m very patient, calm, and attentive, which helps pets feel safe and relaxed in my care. I make sure all pets are fed on time, well cared for, and given plenty of love and attention. I also have experience caring for my godsister’s and cousins’ dogs, including a beagle and a dachshund. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly believe every pet deserves kindness, consistency, and genuine care. I have a rabbit named miffy, a parakeet named Beaky. I feed and water them everyday as well as charge the litter box of my rabbit as I trained him to learn to do his business in his litterbox. I also help my disabled neighbor walk their dog whenever nobody is home I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets in my home or a client’s (or neighbors) home. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I take time to build trust with every pet, allowing them to adjust at their own pace. I keep environments clean, calm, and secure, and I make sure pets are supervised, well-cared-for, and given plenty of attention and affection at all times.
About: Hi! I’m Amae — a lifelong animal lover who truly grew up surrounded by pets. I was raised with a sweet pit bull and two cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural (and happy) part of my life. I also have experience helping my mom with babysitting and pet care through the app, so I understand the importance of trust, communication, and consistency when caring for someone else’s fur babies. I’m currently a responsible college student who loves being around animals in my free time. Right now, I’m also a bunny mom, so I’m used to routines, gentle handling, and giving lots of love and attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I know how special pets are, and I’d be happy to help care for yours 🐶🐱🐰✨ Pet care is already a built-in part of my daily routine. Every day, I make time to feed and play with my cat, as well as care for my bunny. That means fresh food and water, enrichment time, cleaning their spaces, and making sure they’re both getting attention and affection. I really value creating a calm, consistent routine for animals, so checking in on them throughout the day has just become second nature to me. In other people’s homes, I respect house rules, keep things tidy, and maintain clear communication so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s checking collars and leashes before walks, monitoring playtime, or making sure they have fresh water. I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention I give my own.
“Deshauna walked and gave meds for our Yorkie, Champy. Deshauna accommodated our request for a meet-and-greet prior to walking him for the first time, which was important to explain the medication. During the walk, she arrived on time and was attentive to Champy's needs, and gave medication. Sent pictures and updates. I highly recommend!”
“Very caring, takes pictures and provides updates :) our dog really liked him right off the bat! Ari made him feel comfortable even in the first meet up. Highly recommend”
About: I am a highly skilled pet caregiver based in the Bronx with extensive experience in managing the care of dogs and cats in the city and the boroughs. I have successfully handled anxious and high-energy pets, as well as animals with complex dietary needs and challenging leash behaviors. I am more than capable of caring for pets with detailed care instructions. When entrusted with your pet, you can expect frequent and detailed photo and text updates to keep you informed on how your fur baby is doing. I guarantee to keep your pet entertained and engaged in your absence, ensuring a worry-free experience for you. Your pet will receive the same level of care and attention as if they were my own! I work part-time in the entertainment industry, so I have a very flexible schedule. I update my Rover calendar weekly. For the time being, I can only accept bookings accessible by NYC public transportation, including Metro-North and NJ Transit. I have been vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19. I am happy to wear a mask when interacting with humans in your home if requested - I may also mask for my safety. For dogs' safety, I do not take dogs to dog parks, take them off-leash, or simultaneously walk dogs from different households unless I am extremely familiar with the dogs' behavior and the activity is approved by the owners.

“This was the first time being away from our dog and Nicole did a great job at making him and my family feel at ease! She regularly kept me updated with messages and pictures and took very good care of him. Will definitely use her again!”
“Nari and Ryan were such amazing and loving caretakers. They clearly have found their calling as they sent pictures daily, walked my dog regularly and anticipated both pets needs. I give them an A++ . Dont hesitate to book with them. What a loving and smazing family.”
“I can’t believe I’m writing this review so late! I was traveling for a lot of August and I was able to come across Iona’s boarding services when a last minute trip change occurred. I met with her and her husband the day prior to drop off for a temperament test , which my social boy did well on. The next day I dropped him off and I really really appreciated the pictures posted and sent to me and the quick communication!! That was one of my biggest things, I really really appreciated that. So much so that I am currently about to book another boarding service haha: if your baby feels comfortable around other dogs and enjoys play, this will be like summer camp haha Thank you for your flexibility with airline issues and again just the reassurance and communication. Hopefully Ollie will be back soon !!”
“Our Louie had an amazing “staycation” with Veronica and her wonderful family! He is treated like a much-loved family member every time he stays with Veronica! As much as we miss Louie when he cannot travel with us, we know that he is in such capable and loving hands with Veronica. All we have to say is “Mama Veronica” to Louie and he runs to jump in the car… he can’t wait to go to her house!! Veronica is a blessing! 🐾❤️🐾”
“We had great communication with Shirley throughout the entire process. We did a meet and greet before the stay, and she asked thoughtful questions beforehand to really get to know our dog. During the stay, she shared lots of photos and videos, which we truly appreciated. She was also very flexible and accommodating when we had to change our plans due to the snowstorm. Highly recommend!”
“Lio is truly a beloved member of our family and is adored by my three children. I am very selective about where I leave him and rarely trust anyone else to care for him. From the very beginning, both Sayarlin and her husband were incredibly kind, caring, and attentive with our "big boy", who think he is a Chihuahua. Whenever I called or had a question, they were always responsive and thoughtful, which gave me great peace of mind. One thing I especially appreciated is that they have access to an outdoor space in New York, allowing Lio to get fresh air and feel comfortable outside of the apartment setting. Their love for animals is obvious, and they treated Lio as if he were their own. I highly recommend their dog-sitting service to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet care.”
“Sarah gave Dante an outstanding stay caring for him while we were away visiting family do 3 days. She sent plenty of photos and kept us updated several times a day on how he was doing. She took Dante on 2-3 walks a day and gave him plenty of opportunities to make new furry friends at Central Park. Highly recommend Sarah and hope we can work together again!”
“I had an amazing experience with our pet sitter and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. From the very beginning, she was reliable, professional, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated throughout each day with regular texts and plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Thank again so much!!”
“Julia was terrific! She and Bailey hit it off right away. Got a bunch of pics with Bailey out for a walk, playing with toys and a restful night sleep. Will use Julia again!”
“We had an amazing experience with Naomi! She took care of our corgi, Lola, for 4 days while we were away, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Lola was so well cared for. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave to our pup, we’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
“Jialarie treated our kitties like they were her own and sent us pictures of them each day along with frequent updates. Would definitely recommend her services”
“William was took care of our dogs and was intentional about making sure they had what they needed. He sent a video each day he had them and was great to talk to. Plenty of space for the pups and kids to play with them. We are grateful and would definitely work with him again!”
“Yakie was absolutely amazing! She provided daily updates and plenty of pics and was super friendly and loving towards our pup and very accommodating and responsive. Our pup was very happy and definitely made some friends. I couldn’t recommend Yakie enough!”
“Eric was an amazing sitter to my baby, Ruby! I just recently moved to NY and had to find a sitter for a trip that had been planned before I moved here. I would have never gone on this trip had I not found Eric. Ruby was so happy around him and from all the pictures I received, I could tell she was having a great time with him. He helped her socialize with other dogs, which was very necessary since the place where we lived previously didn't have many dogs around, he took her to the park to play and on the rainy days, they just hung out at home and cuddled. Her favorite thing ever! He was very loving and kind toward her and I know she's made a friend for life. I will definitely be contacting Eric in the future when I need someone to watch my baby again. I highly recommend him.”
“Noelle is such an amazing individual. My pup had anxiety the first night I dropped her off and Noelle was very good at communicating everything with me. After the first night Phoenix did a full 360 and was having the best time with Noelle. I will gladly use Noelle to sit for Phoenix.”
“Lal was amazing! She watched our puppy and was very communicative and committed to taking great care of him! It was our first time leaving him and we were so pleased with her and are glad to have a trusted sitter!”
“Kamryn was great to my two dogs she send pictures and check in with me daily on how they where doing very friendly and kind I will definitely book her again soon thanks again taking care of my dogs”
“We are so happy to have found Denys and her husband so close to our home. They took great care of our two high energy dogs and kept us informed about their day with photos and videos. Denys met us for a meet and greet and was happy to let us book a trial day to make sure our dogs were a good fit for her family. We never go anywhere without our dogs, so this was a big deal for us and the dogs. But Denys reassured us that they were happy and safe. I will be at ease with any future visits with our dogs Louie and Pepper.”
“Euitae was amazing with our pup Nutmeg! He was incredibly responsive, sent us plenty of photos, and treated her like one of his own. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands and look forward to having Euitae care for Nutmeg again soon.”
