“My princess travels with me all the time and when she’s not a family member cares for. I was scared, literally heartbroken with the thought of leaving her with a stranger. Well, let me tell you how caring Giselle was and her profile “I’ll treat your dog just as my own” got me sold and that’s exactly what happened. I got videos and pic updates anywhere from three to four times a day, updates on her behavior and the little things she does when she’s comfy puts a smile on my face. I was able to enjoy my vacation for 8 days without worrying if she is okay. I felt as if she was with me with the daily videos. Giselle cared for my princess and I was extremely happy with her service. I unequivocally recommend Giselle without any reservations and I definitely will have her care for my princess, again and again….Good job Giselle!!”

I also placed my babies in her daycare and she was more than helpful in rearranging her schedule to meet our needs.She has been more than kind, attentive and accommodating to my babies, Autumn and Pumpkin, from the moment they met.

If you're looking for a dedicated, responsible, caring individual to care for your babies, then have found the one in Bianca. I am so grateful for the care she has provided my babies and will continue to enlist her help in the future.”

Every day my dog would refuse to walk home and was so excited to go back! She sent so many pictures of him taking many adventures, even taking him to the beach! She's very responsive and it was a huge relief to me to know my dog was safe and having a great time. I could not recommend her more.”

About: With over 10 years of pet sitting experience, our home has become a second home for countless furry friends. What started as a fun activity with my young son has grown into a true passion we continue to share. Now a spirited teenager, my son still brings the same energy and love to every pet we care for—ensuring each one gets plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. We live in a private apartment in a family-owned three-family house in Lower Westchester. Our home is clean, spacious, and pet-friendly, with a private deck and a small backyard perfect for fresh air and play. We’re also just a short walk from the beautifully updated Yonkers waterfront, where your pet will enjoy scenic strolls and outdoor fun. You won’t find a more dog-loving duo. Whether your pet is high-energy or prefers laid-back lounging, we’re happy to tailor our care to their unique needs and personality. We truly love what we do—and it shows. Feel free to reach out with any questions. We can’t wait to welcome your pet into our home! Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. Since we’ve been pet sitting for over a decade, we’ve built our schedule around giving pets the attention and care they deserve. Morning and evening walks are part of our daily rhythm, and we make time throughout the day for play, feeding, and cuddle sessions. My teenage son is very involved—he loves helping with walks, playtime, and making sure each pet feels right at home. Whether we have one guest or a few, they’re always integrated into our family life with love and consistency. In our home, pets are treated like family. We provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where they can relax and be themselves. They have access to cozy spaces indoors, a private deck for fresh air, and a small backyard for outdoor time. We stick closely to each pet’s routine—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or special care instructions—to ensure a smooth and stress-free stay. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines. I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure, keeping things as familiar as possible. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to their individual needs while maintaining communication with the owner for peace of mind.

About: I have years of experience as a house/pet sitter, personal assistant and extensive childcare experience. I grew up with pets and am passionate about providing the best care for you and your furry friends! I work part time in the afternoons. I’m always looking to pick up a shift whenever I can! I have a car and am local to Yonkers. I excel at following instructions and carrying out tasks independently; I am able to think on my feet and make quick decisions, but prefer to keep things similar to your normal routine with your pup!
“Jorge was an excellent communicator, pre-booking, at pick up, and drop off. My dog, Ocho, was very excited upon meeting Jorge. The walk went above the extended time. I peaked out the window and saw Jorge playing and running on the grass with my dog, which he loves! By the time they made it back upstairs, Jorge was sweatingggg! Ocho gave him a good workout lol. Ocho also wanted to stay with Jorge, which is always a good sign! Can’t wait to book Jorge again!”
“Arianna has been nothing short of a godsend! She not only walks Titan, who is 135 pound Cane Corso puppy, but she has also trained him. She is so professional, loving, organized, and knowledgeable that I wish I had found her sooner. When I got home after their first day together, it was like I had a brand new dog. He listened so attentively to his commands. He was so much better at loose leash walking, and he seemed to be over his Dog reactivity issues and I credit Arianna to this fully. I saw on my ring camera, how loving and patient she was with him each time. She took him out and brought him back, and I could tell by the way that he looked at her that he loved her and respected her immediately. I think everybody should have a walker as great knowledgeable, professional, and loving as Arianna. It was very hot that day, and she was also attentive to making sure his water dish was filled after each walk and she made sure he drank water before he went on his walks, and in addition, she also brought water and a dish on their walks because she was concerned about him.”

Throughout the week, I schedule regular feeding times and play sessions to keep them mentally and physically stimulated.

Regular communication with clients ensures that they are kept informed about their pet's well-being and any notable updates during their absence. Ultimately, my goal is to provide loving and responsible care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind.
“Lyndsey was super! I requested her help late Monday night and she answered right away and was able to help us for the week starting the next day! She was super attentive, listened to my novels, and handled our new pup with ease despite his sometimes less than perfect behavior on walks. She showed up on time, paid attention to Hudson’s preferences, and was super communicative with me while I was away. I knew Hudson was in good hands and he now has a new friend both he and I appreciate more than we can say! We’ll definitely be using Lyndsey again and have already recommended her to friends!”

“Marion was very patient with Astro. She is always considerate and polite. She is very accommodating with my family’s requests regarding Astro’s care. Would 100% book her again!”
About: I've had my dog his whole life (17 years) but I've actually been a caretaker for my entire life. I'm the eldest sibling, first grandchild, therefore the oldest of all of my cousins & I have babysat all of them (and their pets) through all stages of young life. I'm used to taking care of animals & kids. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter as a kid in Pennsylvania, and thus far there isn't a single animal that I've come to contact that I don't like! These days, I do a lot of pet & house sitting for my artist friends and family (ranging from just a walk a day to over a week of living with their pets.) I have experience with older animals with medical needs, and I've even taken over for friends who were pet sitting themselves but couldn't handle the difficulties of living in a small space with a large teething puppy. A couple of years ago (right before the pandemic) one of my favorite neighborhood cats brought my to her newborn kittens, and I took it upon myself to feed & house her & the babies until they were ready for adoption (and they're all safe and happy with their individual families). Even the mom eventually got spayed & adopted. I'm a freelance artist, so my schedule varies from week to week. At the moment, I have a lot of freedom, so I'm prepared to take on whatever service(s) are needed of me. I follow instructions very well & always leave homes cleaner than how I entered them. In the past, I've created lists on my phone with furbaby's routines & needs (medical details with images included as an added measure,) as well as sending pictures/videos to their owners while they're out.

“This was our third time leaving our baby with Shaun. I’ll reiterate how much of a pleasure Shaun is. From the constant communication, to his warm demeanor, we truly are blessed to have found him!”
“Travis is absolutely amazing! He treated our dog like his own. Photos were sent frequently so we can see what our dog is up too. Travis also made sure to keep our dog physically engage with constant walks and play time. There is no doubt that I would recommend Travis to any pet owner.”
“Sujaya was amazing!! She thought of everything, put together an adorable FAQ sheet and was so communicative during Baxters stay. I appreciated all the pictures and the care she took of him. She treated him just like her own. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Naomi was amazing! She was so communicative, comforting, and kind. She was ON TOP of things in every single way. I needed a sitter last minute about a week out from my family vacation. I was scrambling to find someone on rover and Naomi was available and excited to watch Genevieve! On top of that, Genny had a rough grooming appt a few days before dropoff, and got a corneal ulcer in which she would have to take eye drops and pain meds. Naomi without question agreed to helping administer them and make her comfortable. You can imagine how worried I was as a dog mom, leaving her with someone new and with a medical issue! Naomi made me feel so at peace leaving Genny with her. She's truly created a doggy haven at her place, with full range for them to hang out inside and out. I am so thankful I found her when I did, and that Genny had such a wonderful time! She was whining when we picked her up, she didn't want to leave! I would recommend Naomi many times over and would give her more than 5 stars if I could!”
“Maria is the dog whisperer! She gave my dog A+ attention while we were away. He's an older dog and grumpy with people he doesn't know but Maria was patient and understanding and won him over right away. She communicated every day with pictures and updates so we felt confident he was safe and sound in her care over the holidays. I would definitely use her again!”

“Nova stayed with Jocelyn for over 2 weeks while we were out of the country. As usual, Nova received amazing care! I received updates, pictures and videos daily. It is a great feeling to not worry about your pet when you’re on the other side of the world. Thank you, Jocelyn!!”
“Jada was excellent taking care of my dog Coco. She kept sending me photos, Even though Coco made a mess on her bed, I’m so sorry about that, Jada. But if I go away again, I would definitely leave my dog Coco with Jada again. Thank you so much for everything!”
“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!”
“Anali is great. She's willing to meet you prior to her sitting your dog to make you feel comfortable. She really shows she cares about your dog as if it's her own. She gave us constant feedback with pictures and videos of our dog. Our dog loved it because there were other dogs there for her to play with. She gave my dog a few walks everyday and off leash time at the local dog park. I couldn't be more happy with Anali.”
“Yusuf was able to accommodate me with relatively short notice, and he took great care of my Ziggy. He's very communicative and responds quickly, I highly recommend him!”
