About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and love caring for animals. I’ve fostered 14 cats, including kittens, undersocialized cats, and cats recovering from surgery, as well as fostered two dogs. I’ve also been a neighborhood dog walker and have cared for family pets. I’m comfortable with animals of all ages and personalities and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate different pet care needs. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and provide consistent, reliable care based on what works best for you and your pet. I have my own cat at home, so pets staying in my home must be comfortable and get along well with cats. I always prioritize safety and make sure every pet has a calm, comfortable environment while in my care. For pets who aren’t comfortable around cats, I’m happy to provide care in their home instead.

“Our dog Maisy absolutely loved her daycare stay with Heather. Maisy is only 5 months old and a very shy dog, but Heather was sure to make her stay was as stress free as possible, even hand feeding her. By the end of her stay, Maisy and Heather were best friends. I also appreciated the updates and photos throughout the day, which made my day stress-free. We will be back to visit NYC soon and will definitely book with Heather again. If you are looking for a reliable, attentive and patient dog sitter, I would highly recommend Heather.”

“Lee is an awesome sitter who we have used a couple times now. Our dog is super nervous and the first time our dog spent most of the day visibly nervous. But Lee was not deterred and very patient, gave our dog space and tried multiple approaches to get in her good graces. The second visit our dog warmed up to Lee and was taking pets and giving her kisses by the end of the day. Lee is incredibly communicative and gifted with dogs, we are very grateful for her patience and sticking with it. We look forward to using her (and her family) again.”

I would recommend her and will use her again for my dog!”

About: My extensive background in pet sitting speaks for itself, but what truly drives me is my deep connection and ability to bond with animals. I believe this personal connection is what makes me an exceptional caregiver, and it’s the reason I’m so passionate about working with pets. I have a wide open schedule. I wake up and get my pet ready for breakfast and I handle clean up around the same time. Throughout the day I engage with my pet. I have time and availability to do house visits or to walk your pet. I live in an apartment that is pet friendly. The windows are secure and the neighbors are pet lovers as well, so there is socializing and our 5 unit apartment building. The neighborhood here engages with pets on a regular basis
“Wei Han came to my rescue my first day living in the UWS when I needed a last minute walker. She took my son on a long walk and took lots of photos. She even wiped his paws for me and used my lock box easily. So great working with her!”
“Ryan did a great job looking after my dog Kira. He was timely with her walks, always ensured she had food and water, and if he ever had a question was not afraid to ask. She seemed in great spirits when I got home. Happy with his work.”
“We love Alanna! She is so good with our Senior dog, Honey, and great to work with. Alanna is reliable, easy to communicate with her and extremely responsible. We feel very lucky to have her and appreciate the time and care she takes with Honey each day. I high recommend Alanna if you're looking for someone to walk or care for your animal!”
“Lily was great and will definitely book with her again. My new rescue guy has some special training instructions so I’m always nervous to leave him with new people. She was a pro and he loved her!”
“Claire came over last minute to take care of our baby Maggie and she did such an amazing job. Maggie has a broken foot and is super stubborn and Claire worked so hard to get her to be able to exercise her foot. We haven’t left Maggie alone since she broke her foot and Claire did everything to make Maggie feel safe and loved. Will definitely be requesting her again!!”
“Adolfo has been walking our dog Lou twice a week for six months. He is extremely reliable and often agrees to do additional walks with short notice when we run into unexpected scheduling issues. Adolfo is the best and it is clear to us that he really loves Lou and that Lou loves him right back!!”
“He is so kind, loving, response time incredible. My dog is always happy and I HIGHLY recommend him. Took a chance in finding anyone and he truly did not disappoint. Client for life. We all know are fury dogs are are children and as a protective mama, felt completely comfortable and safe. HIRE THE MAN!!!!!!”
“Rebecca is so sweet, professional and was great with my rescue pup. She asked lots of thoughtful questions during our meet and greet and was really attentive to my pup’s needs. I would absolutely love to have her back to hang out with my dog again and would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my entire life, and spending time with animals brings me the greatest joy. My grandmother was a dog breeder so I have witnessed it all - from puppy hood to the senior age. I’m currently a WFH post grad living in NYC and I’m excited to meet your pet! I work from home during the day with a very flexible schedule. Currently working to pay off my student loans, which is where Rover comes into the picture! During my WFH days my walking times remain flexible as I can schedule them when need be, and house sitting I will give great attention since my current role is not demanding of me. I treat every pet like they're my own. Before a first visit, I like to get a feel for the pet's routine, including feeding times, favorite toys, and any quirks or anxieties, so I can keep things as normal as possible while their owner is away. On walks, I stick to a consistent pace and route based on the dog's energy level and comfort, always keep them leashed and close, and stay alert to other dogs, traffic, and hot pavement. I bring waste bags and fresh water on longer walks. For drop-in visits, I follow the owner's instructions exactly for feeding, medication, and litter box or cage cleaning, and always leave with fresh water topped off and the space tidy. I send photo or video updates so owners can see their pet is happy and comfortable. I care for pets exclusively in their own home rather than mine, since my building has a strict no-pet policy. During a house sit, I maintain their normal schedule, keep the home clean and secure by locking up and bringing in mail or packages, and treat the client's space with the same respect I'd want for my own. I send regular updates throughout the stay so owners can relax knowing their pet, and their home, are in good hands.
“Michelle has been great with my dog Cooper! Communication is great and she’s been great with giving my dog his daily ointment after a surgery he had the other week. I’m so happy I found her”
“Senica has been absolutely amazing with my dog Frankie on their daily walks! She always takes amazing photos and leaves thorough reviews to let me know how it went. I couldn’t have asked for a better walker.”

Reiki was able to calm down within hours under his care, and very much enjoyed spending time with him 😄.”

“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.”
“Elena was able to take Kiwi last minute while I had a family emergency. Not only was she able to step in, she did an amazing job with Kiwi. I knew Kiwi was safe, all her meds were given to her exactly as needed and she got all of her daily walks! I got updates and pictures, Kiwi had a great time with her 🩷 I would absolutely use Elena again, I feel lucky to have found her. I highly recommend Elena for any pup but she did especially great with my sensitive, high maintenance girl.”
