“John and his family are absolutely amazing. I left Iroh with him for a full week and didn’t worry once! He sent pics and kept me updated throughout my trip, which really put my mind at ease! 100000/10 would recommend!!!”
“Caterina was terrific with Fala! She sent updates and photos + videos throughout Fala's two night stay and despite generally stormy weather, got Fala out as much as possible. I look forward to booking with Caterina again!”
“Took great care of StarFox! I know my dog enjoyed his stay and I appreciate all the time spent with him playing and walking. My dog had a prior injury and he got the best care and attention possible, even a visit to the vet, medical instructions, everything was taken care of. My dog was taken care of like he was family! My dog is a clever fox, so he can be a handful sometimes. Fantastic job and would definitely book again when I’m out of town. Great photos too and updates!”
“Adam watched our 10 month old puppy for about a week while we were out of town, and he did an awesome job. I got so many pictures and videos the whole time. His dog Hermes gets on great with my puppy, they were playing together the whole time! We did a meet and greet before booking him to make sure that the dogs got along well together too. We needed our dog to only eat the food we brought due to allergy concerns, and Adam fed them in separate rooms which worked well. We got back a tired, happy puppy.”

“This was the second time Meilin took care of my dog, and as always, she did a great job! She sent me news and photos every day, and I knew he was happy and safe with her. I really trust her and I’m very thankful. I strongly recommend Meilin!”

“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my Stormy! ❤️ Erma had excellent communication and kept me updated throughout my entire vacation, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. Thank you again!”
About: Cats have always been a big part of our lives. Stacey grew up with cats and when she moved out on her own, adopting Ro just felt right, and Charlie came along not too long after. Andrew volunteered with the local feral cat feeders in LIC every week for 2 years. Together, we've looked after cats in our neighborhood through mainly drop-in visits. We’re attentive to each cat’s needs and boundaries, and we provide thorough care: deep litter cleanings and refills, cleaning and replenishing water bowls, feedings, and cleaning up any hairballs we find along the way. We can provide play if the cats are comfortable, or just stay to provide company as well.
“Carena dropped in on my cat everyday for 15 days, and I came back to a healthy, happy, and well-fed cat. She even cleaned up my place after my cat rough-housed with one of my plants. Thank you for your great care, Carena!”
“Simon did an incredible job. He checked in on our two cats every morning, fed them, gave them medicine (which isn’t easy), and sent us updates with pictures which reassured us that our babies were safe and well cared for. He was able to provide the oral medication single handedly - something that usually takes two people. He’s very attentive, kind, and understanding. Highly recommend!”
“Robin took care of my cat for a week while I was away. She was responsive to all of my messages, accommodated last minute requests and sent daily updates. She left my place very clean as well!”
“Awesome visit! I needed a last minute visit for my kitties while I was out of town and Charlie graciously went and provided amazing care and photos for my peace of mind! He even put a package that I had sitting outside inside!”
“Katherine is a great sitter. She is punctual provides very detailed updates and is kind and warm. My cat enjoyed his time with her, and I felt safe leaving him in her care!”
“Emily took excellent care of our cat for the second time. She was very responsive and adapted to our cat's needs during a heat wave. Will definitely book her again!”
“Lisa did a wonderful job taking care of my cat while I was gone for four days over two weeks! She was communicative, easily contactable, and sent lots of pictures. My cat had a lot of fun playing with her! He also…knocked over my trash can and Lisa quickly problem solved. Can’t thank her enough!”
“Jenna provided lots of photos for her visit with Sunny. Jenna refilled the water bowl, cleaned the litter box, and gave some attention to Sunny while we were gone. She was an excellent caretaker and I highly recommend her!”
“Shawna sat for our two cats and was a fantastic sitter she was flexible and kept us updated, especially since this was the first time we left them for an extended period of time.”
“Yuxuan was friendly, communicative, super responsive, and best of all, flexible for our last minute request! She also offered a meet and greet so she could get to know Beau's needs before taking care of him. Beau loved walking with her. We'd gladly work with Yuxuan again!”
“Abdelkader didn’t everything i needed. My cat warmed up to him immediately, he was fed, played with and when I returned home from a 2 week trip the litter box was clean. I can tell my cat had gotten excellent care and Adbelkader will be my go to in the future. Thank you!!”
“Christie treated my cat so well and gave the best updates with amazing pictures! I am so grateful that Christie made my cat feel loved while I was away. I would highly recommend Christie for her positive outlook, strong communication skills, and understanding of cats!”
“Tiffany was a great Rover! She asked all the right questions to make sure she was prepared, and then visitors and took care of Mango with no issues and plenty of photos. Would happily book with her again.”
“Andrew & Jing have been incredibly communicative and thoughtful during the two times they’ve taken care of my cat. They send lots of great photos, comprehensive updates, follow all instructions closely and take time to play with her as well. It was a relief knowing she was in such good care!”
“Sandy was SUCH a great caretaker for Theo. She provided detailed updates and ample photos and treated Theo like her own. I could tell he quickly bonded with her & she went over and above to make him (and me) comfortable and happy. Will definitely work with her again!”
“If I could give ten stars I would. My cats seriously do not care if I come home after Mary has been taking care of them. And they miss me when I leave for four hours. She’s truly the cat whisperer!”

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“Xiaohui was an incredible sitter for Milo! After mentioning he's a high energy dog, she took him on extra long walks to make sure he's well exercised. Xiaohui also took amazing photos of him with the Manhattan skyline and even edited them. Thanks for giving Milo so much attention and love! He came home very happy”
“Sungmin was great! She was very friendly, flexible and a huge help to me and my puppy. After one week of daycare, my puppy picked up a few new tricks and learned how to properly walk on the leash. Sungmin sent me pictures and videos during the day so that I could see what a good time my puppy was having.”
“Milo stayed at Erand's place again for daycare and he came home very happy! Erand was great communicating and made sure Milo got enough play and rest.”
“Another great stay with Ron and MJ! Hades is always so excited to see MJ in the morning, and it is so helpful that they are able to pick him up and drop him off! They have been so accommodating with my work schedule, and I am so relieved to know Hades is safe and in good hands when I'm gone for the day! Ron and MJ have generously supplied toys and treats so Hades has new things to enjoy when he spends the day with them. I can't recommend them highly enough!!”
“Absolutely amazing! Seung took such great care of my dog—responsive, friendly, and clearly loves animals. My pup came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“She is EXTRAORDINARY! Words can not do her level of professionalism and love of our dog Goose! She treated Goose and us just like family. She was kind and understanding...we tried to not be late for meeting which is hard in NYC with 3 children..She is the best fit for any situation!”
“Gina was very flexible and great with dogs. Lulu got plenty of walk and played with Gina’s dog. Will definitely ask Gina for help again in the future!”
“Roki had a great time with Antonio! I was traveling and Roki was staying with my friend - and it’s amazing that I could find a great care in a new neighborhood on a short notice.”
“Hua took great care of my puppy for two weeks (weekdays from 8am–7pm), and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She is incredibly gentle and patient, and you can truly tell she cares. She always kept my puppy clean and comfortable. On rainy or snowy days, she would thoughtfully wash her paws and blow them dry. Most importantly, my puppy came home happy every single day. That alone tells me she felt safe and well cared for. I really appreciate Hua’s kindness and the wonderful company she gave my puppy.”
“Tania is very responsive and very flexible with the pick up and drop off schedule, which makes my day much easier. My dog looks having a good time from the pictures shared during the day”
“Michelle is our go to sitter now when we need someone to watch our pup! Very communicative and reliable. Soho can't wait for her next playdate.”
“Sonia took great care of my dog and made sure she had everything she needed! She also sent several pictures and videos during her stay which was amazing!”
“Victoria is such a great sitter. She treated pepper like her own! She was so sweet and sent pictures so I felt more relaxed. She has great communication! I will definitely be booking her again soon! Thank you so much from pepper and I !!”
“Angelina and Donald took wonderful care of my two Vizslas. I could not be happier. I was visiting New York for the day and needed someone to look after my two very active dogs for the afternoon. I was a little nervous about leaving them because they can be a lot to handle and are not accustomed to the city, but I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Angelina and Donald took them on a five-hour adventure through Central Park and then east to Andrew Haswell Green Park. Angelina sent photos throughout the walk, so I could see how much fun they were having. She also fed them exactly as requested and had them ready when I arrived for pickup. The dogs were tired, happy, and clearly adored Angelina and Donald. I will definitely book with Angelina again the next time I am in the city.”
About: I am deeply a major dog person. But I also love cats! I grew up with a beloved dog, and when I later met my wife and she came with two cats, I quickly fell in love with all of them. Sadly our cats have passed. Last Fall, we adopted our beautiful 4 year old lab mix, Goose. I have worked as a pet walker and sitter for years, and I believe wholeheartedly that dogs are basically humans, except way better! I work from home and my schedule is super flexible, so I can give your pets the love and attention they deserve all day long. I like to keep your pets on their regular schedule so they can feel calm while their parents are away, so you make the rules and I'm happy to follow them! I have great references and reviews that I’m happy to provide. Hope to see you and your pups and kits soon! I work remotely, and my schedule is super flexible. I’m available seven days a week. My schedule allows me to be very accommodating to all of your pets’ unique needs. My wife and I live in Greenpoint with our dog Goose. We are open to having your pets stay at our house or dropping in for walks or visits.
“Thank goodness Kendall was able to accommodate my last minute booking! She’s so reliable and took such great care of Henry! He seemed so happy and got so many walks and cuddles! And she sent me lots of updates and pictures! Kendall is the best!”

About: With 5 years of hands-on experience, I’ve raised a Corgi from 5 months to 2 years old, and currently in my household lives a 2-year-old British Shorthair who I’ve raised from 5 months and a playful 4-year-old Poodle. I understand each pet’s unique needs and treat them like family—providing attentive, loving care that keeps tails wagging and whiskers twitching! I’m currently WFH, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I'm available for dropping in visits，walks on weekdays, and both long-term & short-term boarding and daycare, just schedule with me in advance! I can accommodate various types of inquiries! Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I follow your care instructions closely, always double-check leashes, doors, and feeding. I create a calm, friendly environment, keeping their routine consistent. Whether it’s a walk or a drop-in visit, I treat your home and pet with respect, love, and attention.
“Andrea was great:) my dog just walked right out the door with her and didn’t look back LOL , I was worried about letting my baby out with anyone cause she hates anything with wheels but she handled everything great . I’ll be using her again.”
About: I raised a Pomeranian who lived until 12 years old and passed away last year. His name was Wolph and he truly taught me how to be a loving parent who shows patience, responsibility, and genuine care. I'd love to get active with your pet and give them the attention they deserve. I fostered two dogs in the past year and have dog-sat for friends and family for the last 8 years. I am a part-time student at the moment and doing part-time work remotely. Most of the week I am home besides the occasional groceries and whatnot. I also have a roommate who is also a responsible pet-owner back at home. My apartment space is spacious with a big living room space. The apartment building itself has two levels of security and is very pet-friendly with a bathing station. I have fostered dogs at my current apartment and had no issues.
“Jessica is great with our new pup! Very patient with him and worked with us to get a meet and greet on the books quickly, so she could walk him the next day!”
“Jenna very graciously helped me out with two last minute dog walks. She was super friendly, great with my pup, on-time and reliable, and communicative. Would highly recommend her!”
About: I grew up in my grandmother’s home for part of my childhood with her two Shitzu’s. I was exposed to dogs at a young and fell in love ever since. When I was in high school, we got our family dog, a Papillion named Callie - who I sadly don’t see as often anymore. Last year, I brought home my first dog - Cherry who is also a 1 year old Papillon. I also have experience with larger size dogs (up to 45 pounds) because I have fostered here and there whenever I got the chance. Although my weekdays are busy, I am available to watch your fur baby most weekends for sitting or for boarding unless indicated otherwise on my calendar. I live in a studio apartment, but have access to a fenced dog park on the second floor of my apartment building for quick potty breaks. I also can take the dogs on longer or more frequent walks (able to cater toward each dog).
“Angelica is great with our dogs and responsive. She even helps wipe their paws after the walk and makes sure they have water at home. She’s wonderful!”
“Christie is prompt and went above and beyond to make sure Ella (our dog) had a great morning walk these past 3 days. Christie truly has a love for animals and it is apparent when Ella also feels the same excitement every time she sees Christie. Would book Christie again and recommend her to anyone in the area.”
“Mary is amazing she is so sweet and affectionate towards my dog and has been available last minute for extra/ longer walks. I feel good knowing my dog is cared for by her!”
About: I got Mikan as a puppy 3 years ago and we’ve been 2 peas in a pod ever since. I also have experience pet sitting my friend’s dogs. I currently work on-site at the building I live in, and also have a 3 year old dog that will keep your pet company. My building has a fenced in dog run, and there are many places to walk in my neighborhood. I make sure that pets feel safe and loved when they stay with me.
“Stacey and Andrew are wonderful dog walkers! They were friendly and considerate about our dogs’ needs, and were proactive about communication. Would definitely ask them to walk our corgis again!”
“Sharon is wonderful! It’s been so helpful to have a dog walker that I can trust while I am in the office. She is kind, communicative, and conscientious - a pleasure to work with!”
“Yidi was great with Sammy! My dog can be standoffish at first, but Yidi was patient with her and by the second walk she was already more comfortable and walking more/further from home. Yidi is also very responsive and easy to communicate with, we would gladly use his services again!”
About: Growing up, I took care of two (awesome) dogs for as long as I can remember. Having these mini companions was definitely a part of my childhood that I would never change, and I believe it aided in shaping the person I am today. Today, I have two dogs that my partner and I have raised from puppies! I'm experienced with caring for pets of all ages! I am hard-working, dedicated, and committed to making sure you and your pet have the best possible experience! A bit about me, I am also pretty energetic and love to exercise, so taking your dog for a walk or even a run is not a problem at all. I am currently located in the LIC area! I will always find time to make sure your pet is getting properly cared for while you are away. I currently am between jobs and needing some extra dog love! I can be flexible with what works for everyone involved, as consistency is best for dog and owner. I have two boy dogs at home, so not taking any clients here unless we do a meet and greet first ! They're both very friendly. Otherwise, I'm committed to keeping routine as normal as possible for your pet.
“One of the most reliable walkers here on Rover. If you’re thinking twice about booking her, consider this your sign to do it. She’s truly reliable and shows genuine love and care for my furbaby. She’s also very thoughtful…she even got me something for Valentine’s Day. We love her. We’re going to miss you! You deserve a great vacation. Come back soon and don’t forget us 😅”
About: Growing up with a beloved dog taught me early on how wonderful it is to share our lives with pets. Over the past two years, I have gained hands-on experience through pet-sitting for friends, regularly volunteering at animal shelters, and fostering three kittens who are now five months old. Caring for my foster kittens has given me valuable experience with young cats, including their daily routines, individual personalities, energy levels, and unique needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I always take the time to learn what makes each one feel comfortable and safe. I am naturally patient, attentive, and detail-oriented, and I take pride in providing a calm, loving, and reliable environment for every pet in my care. I’m currently working full time on dog & cat sitter, my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m available from 9 AM to 9 PM during the weekdays and weekends. While cat/dog sitting, I treat each pet parent’s home with the same care and respect as if it were my own. I always ensure doors and windows are secure, follow all household instructions carefully, and keep the environment safe and free of hazards for the cats. I’m mindful of potential escape risks and make sure cats/dogs remain safely indoors. Before leaving, I double-check that doors are locked and that the cats/dogs have everything they need, including clean water, food and clean litter boxes.

She followed my instructions to put his scavenging muzzle on everytime he left the apartment and I was confident he was in good hands. Thanks, Heather (and Noah)!”
“We had a great experience leaving Pixel with Rashed and Coco! From the start, communication was clear and reassuring, which made us feel very at ease. Pixel seemed very happy during his stay and when I picked him up. Rashed even worried about Pixel’s dry skin and did everything he could to make him more comfortable, but not before consulting directly with me about his options. It’s obvious he genuinely care about the dogs and treats them like part of the family. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”
