You can tell they genuinely love dogs and take their responsibility seriously. I would absolutely book with Kylie and Kris again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend.”

About: WashU ‘21 grad based in Tribeca. I’ve been dog sitting and fostering for a while now and have hosted dogs for stays up to a week. I’m reliable, attentive, and your dog will be well taken care of. Recently I fostered two chiweenies for over 3 months and had the best time! On weekends I’m available all day and can walk dogs whenever works best. During the week, I’m able to get walks in before 9am and am home by 5pm for the rest of the evening. I live in a studio apt but, I am able to take dogs on walks whenever needed. I love walking to the west side highway dog park.

“Brian is an outstanding cat sitter! His updates were regular and reassuring, including regular photos and messages. What impressed me most was his dedication to maintaining our cat's routines and the respectful care he showed our home. Brian's service was a godsend, and I'd highly recommend him for any pet sitting needs.”

Again, Lauren is a great candidate for your next pet sitter.”

“Minako is so great with my dog. He is always excited to see her when she comes to pick him up. She sends great pictures and I know he's having fun aka getting all his energy out.

Archimedes had a great time and he definitey enjoyed his stay. I’m grateful to Heather and glad we can continue our business relationship !”
“Linyan was an excellent communicator and took extra special care of my little one. I could tell right away that she really cares about dogs by the way she attentively listened to everything I shared at drop-off. My sensitive dog picked it up too and didn’t even cry when I left her. I will absolutely be rebooking!”
About: ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. My first dog — Lucy, a Border Collie I had when I was 11 back in Shanghai, China — was my best friend for 16 years. Alongside her, I cared for a rescued stray cat "Noji" and an adopted poodle "Bebe" when I was 13, which taught me patience, responsibility, policing different pets, and how to understand different pet personalities. After moving to the U.S. for school, I brought home my baby Corgi "Brioche" in 2020. She’s now a 5-year-old certified service dog who’s friendly, well-trained, and walked three times a day for at least 30 minutes each time. I also helped train and kept a baby Devon Rex cat for my family in 2025. What sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience with pets of different breeds, ages, and temperaments — from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I love fur babies more than anything and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I will be working part time starting summer 2026 in NYC, so my schedule is flexible, I'm available for daily walks, boarding both weekdays and weekends. I live in a 2 bedroom in FiDi close to battery park city. There are no crates and my corgi was never crate-trained. I don't have indoor pet potty so I almost only take my dog out for potty unless the weather is crazy. I have plenty of dog beds and toys.
“Mariliz is absolutely amazing! From the moment I met her, I knew my dogs were in great hands. She made the entire processs easy, from drop off to pick up, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. What really sets Mariliz apart is her communication. She provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which allowed me to relax knowing my dogs were happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Finding someone you trust with your pets is priceless, and I couldn’t recommend Mariliz more highly. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter, look no further. Your fur babies will be in the best hands possible! Thank you, Mariliz, for taking such wonderful care of my dogs. I will be using your services again and recommending you to others.”
“Chloe is amazing. She watched Fritz and I could tell from photos that he was having the best time ever. The second time she watched him, he started dragging me to her place when he knew where he was going. Always a great feeling. Can’t recommend her enough.”
“Yutong was great with Latte! Sent plenty of updates throughout the day and it seemed like Latte had a great time with them! Will definitely book with Yutong again if needed!”
“Jennifer was awesome! Took great care of Polly, even let her have a toy that she seemed to like. Sent plenty of pictures/videos & took her on a nice long walk. Recommended!”
“Amanda was wonderful with out dachshund, Lola, who fell in love with her very quickly. Lola can be a bit of a handful (big personality, Napoleon syndrome) but Amanda knew how to handle her, and it sounds like they both had a great time. I know Lola got lots of cuddles and activity, and after the first day (when she was nervous being left with a stranger), she was very excited to see Amanda every morning.”
“Svetlana was lovely — super communicative & kind. I could tell my shy pup felt very comfortable with her. Would happily leave her with Svetlana again!”
“Yirui took such great care of my pup Naomi. Yirui asked detailed questions to ensure that she provided continuity and routine for Naomi, while also giving her a comfortable space to have fun and feel at home. She sent updates and pics throughout the day that made me feel at ease. The best part is that Naomi has made a new friend with Yirui’s pup Julie!”
“Lauren was the perfect babysitter for our pup while we were away for the day! We could tell he loved getting to hang with her and she was super responsive. We’ll definitely schedule another time for Lauren to watch Rizzo :)”
“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!”

I live in a studio apt but, I am able to take dogs on walks whenever needed. I love walking to the west side highway dog park.
About: I grew up in a house full of animals, especially retired racing greyhounds, and volunteered for years with Maine Greyhound Placement Service before moving to New York. I’m comfortable with everything from puppies to seniors, shy or anxious dogs, health issues and giving medication. I’ve also always had adopted cats, so I’m just as happy with cats as I am with dogs. I joined Rover because I genuinely miss having animals around all the time. My work schedule is flexible for daytime walks and drop-ins, and I’m generally free on weekends too. I have a flexible schedule most of the week and can usually fit in daytime walks, drop-ins or check-ins, with especially open availability on weekends. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly building directly across from a park, with Tompkins Square Dog Run also within walking distance if your dog enjoys socializing. If they’re more comfortable somewhere calmer, I also know plenty of quieter streets and walking routes nearby!
About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 10 years, and caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve also helped watch and walk many of the neighborhood dogs, which gave me experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s puppies full of energy or senior dogs who need a little extra patience, I know how to adjust to each dog’s needs. I also have a passion for staying active — I love running and walking — so I can make sure your dog gets the right amount of exercise, whether that’s a long jog or a leisurely stroll. More than anything, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently a freshman at Pace. I have a very flexible schedule with many openings for walks throughout the day during the week. Please reach out if you have any questions! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first with me. Since I won’t be hosting pets in my own home, I focus on providing reliable care in your pet’s familiar environment, where they feel most secure. I’m attentive on every walk, always keeping an eye on surroundings, using secure leashes, and making sure your pet stays safe near traffic, other dogs, and new environments. I also follow your specific routines and instructions carefully — whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, or special needs — so your pet feels comfortable and cared for at all times.
About: My family always had dogs growing up so I have a lot of experience with dogs of various temperaments, sizes, and needs. At one point we had one big dog and two little dogs who didn’t get along so I am also familiar with taking care of dogs who don’t get along and how to keep them separated if needed. I have also lived with and elderly cat and a small kitten so I am familiar with cat care as well! I am in nursing school full time Tuesday-Thursday but can take care of your pets before/after classes as well as my days off. Open to overnight care as well as drop ins for walks, pets, and feeding. I will take care of your animals as if they were my own. Let me know of any special instructions and I will be sure to follow them. Excited to meet your pets!
“Minako is amazing! She looks after my 4 month Cavapoo and loves her like she was her own. Minako always sends pictures and updates. I’m so grateful that I’m able to leave my puppy home and trust that she is in great hands with Minako coming to take her on walks.”

“Valeria was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was super reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring throughout the entire experience. I’m so grateful for all of her help and felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in great hands. She was attentive, thoughtful, and made everything so easy and stress-free. I would absolutely recommend Valeria to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dependable to care for their pet. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again!”

About: I’ve had a dog all my life (two labs), have take care of neighbors pets and volunteered at an animal shelter in highschool. I’m a true dog lover I am available on the weekends. I woke from home Monday and Friday which are lighter days for me with availability to dog walk or sit. I live in an apartment so I would take your dog on a walk or could watch them at your apartment as mine is too small!
“Amazing! I enjoyed having Rosanna take my dog on afternoon walks. Her detailed updates made me feel like my dog was in great hands. You can tell she truly cares about what she does. ❤️”
“Raul is the best there is. His organization, proactive communication and warm aura give me confidence my puppy is in great hands. He is thoughtful and sharp, and considers matters related to her comfort and health before they become issues. In advance of my girl’s evening walks, he checks the forecast and communicates inclement weather that may require additional planning; that attention to detail is invaluable. 11/10!! We love him!”
About: Hello! I am a full time writer who works from home and adores both dogs and cats. I’m very active, so I love taking long walks. I have a very flexible schedule that allows for frequent interaction, play, and cuddles with your pet(s) and I will treat your fur babies like they are my own! I’d love to add a dog to my family, but I travel far too much at the moment, so taking care of your pet is truly a honor and a privilege for me! I also have extensive experience with cats and I would be very happy to care for your feline friends as well. I am able to administer medications, and able to handle pets with anxiety/other behavioral issues (within reason). My schedule is very flexible so I am able to dedicate plenty of time during the week/on weekends to your pups and kitties. I also love talking long walks/runs and very happy to bring along your pet. I have a cat so I prefer to board dogs that get along or at least tolerate cats, but I have a few different rooms, so if necessary, they can be separated for most of the visit.
