About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 7+ years and have experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies and kittens to seniors who need a little extra patience and help getting around. I’ve also worked with dogs who are leash-reactive, have high prey drives, or simply need a little more structure and individual attention. I’m comfortable with pets who need some extra care, too. I’ve given ear medications and cleaned ears for infections and ear mites, as well as administered eye drops and ointment for a cat with a chronic eye condition. I’ve also cared for senior pets who needed help with stairs, had trouble eating, or needed extra attention with their daily routines. I really enjoy getting to know each pet’s individual personality and making them feel comfortable and happy while their people are away. Whether that means a long walk, playing with a favorite toy, sticking closely to their usual routine, or just keeping them company on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at! I’m currently taking a gap year while studying for the MCAT, so I have a very flexible schedule and spend much of my day at home studying. When I’m house sitting, I’ll most likely be there with your pets for the majority of the day, which means they’ll have plenty of company, attention, and supervision while you’re away. I’m generally available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, feeding, and playtime, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I do have a weekly figure skating commitment on Tuesdays from about 11:30 AM–2 PM, but I can plan around it and, when scheduled in advance, I’m able to rearrange my plans if your pet needs me home. I’m very attentive to the little things that keep pets safe. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with very different temperaments and needs, including puppies, leash-reactive dogs, high-prey-drive dogs, and pets who need extra supervision or a specific routine. When I’m staying in a client’s home, I make it a point to learn the pet’s normal routine, triggers, habits, and boundaries before they leave. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, and introductions to unfamiliar people or animals, and I don’t assume that every pet can be handled the same way. If a dog needs space from other dogs, a cat prefers to hide for a while, or a pet has a particular way of doing things, I respect that. I also know how important communication is when someone else has your pets. I’m happy to send regular pictures and updates, and I’ll reach out if something seems unusual rather than ignoring it or assuming it’s fine. My goal is for your pets to stay safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away.

“I booked Tabbie to walk our doggies and she was a lifesaver these past couple of days. Tabbie was very responsive, prompt, courteous and on time. She even asked if I wanted to walk them longer which I appreciated that a lot. A tired dog is a good dog and they were nice and tired. I will definitely be using Tabbie for more dog walks!”

“Gionna was great! From the first message I sent to inquire through the last message after her last walk with Roxy! Her communication was spot on and her care for Roxy was very assuring. She came for a meet and greet since she was Roxy’s first walker. They hit it off and had great walks while I was gone making me more relaxed and less worried to enjoy my weekend away. Thank you Gionna, we can’t wait to work with you again!”

“Roxy is the best. If I could, I would give her 10 stars. Amber has had 3 walks with Roxy now and she loves it. Amber is a 8 month old puppy who is not easy to handle. Roxy takes her time to make my pup comfortable and happy. She gives out a gist at the end of each walk and it really gives me a collective idea on how to train my dog. We are really happy with Roxy and we are planning to be her repeat client.”

About: I’ve worked at multiple dog hospitals and dog daycares and have taken care of dogs my entire life whether it’s my own or a family members. I go through it with the thought in mind that the dog needs to do everything before me so I’m more focused on making sure the dogs get what they need food,bathroom,ect. I go through a whole routine of waking up in the morning and letting the dogs out to go to the bathroom and then bringing them back in to eat and I’ll repeat that at noon and around 7 or 8pm for dinner.

About: I’ve had my dog Ace (Cane Corso/Lab mx) for 4 years. Although my family has been fortunate enough to take care of him together, I understand the struggle of finding someone who will care properly for your pet as you do. Pets are our chosen family, and I will ensure your pet is properly cared for. In addition to my dog, I have 3 years of experience in animal husbandry from my previous position as a animal care technician I work another during the week. My most consistent availability is Saturday and Sundays (mornings, afternoons, early evening) for pet sitting and/or walking your pet. I walk my dog 3x a day. I am also sure to change and clean his water bowl multiple times a day. Any special instructions or requests for your pet with be met
About: I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and treat every pet as if they were my own. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, basic routines, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’m also continuing my education in animal health, behavior, biology, and marine biology, so caring for and understanding animals is something I’m truly passionate about. I currently have open availability and a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide walks, drop-ins, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I’m happy to work with your schedule and your pet’s normal routine to make sure they receive consistent, dependable care. I live in an apartment, but your pet will still get plenty of exercise, attention, and enrichment. I’m happy to provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will always respect your space and follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide.

“Tamara was really flexible with my last-minute request, and did a great job communicating and taking care of my elderly dog while I was out of town. I would definitely recommend her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Washington Heights
Melissa is great! She fit us into her schedule and was a reliable caretaker for our dog, who is reactive and needs patience and TLC — Melissa had ample supplies of both. Melissa gave us peace of mind and fulfilled all of our expectations: in addition to walking our dog and providing comfort and play time, she was also kind enough to bring in the occasional package or turn on the air conditioner for our dog in case we forgot. She is wonderful and we would recommend her to anyone in need of someone who is reliable and takes initiative.

I can’t say enough good things about Simone! She’s been punctual and reliable, which gives me so much peace of mind. You can tell Simone genuinely cares about dogs and humans too! She’s easy to communicate with, friendly, and always keeps me updated. My Bernedoodle absolutely loves Simone. I’ve noticed such a difference in how calm and happy he is after walks. I also appreciate that Simone keeps safety at the forefront of their walks; whether it’s being mindful of surroundings, encountering other dogs while walking, or just making sure everything is secure during the walk. Overall all, awesome experience. Totally Recommend! I will definitely be a repeat client

Tabbie is a wonderful sitter. She is super dependable and very flexible. She will even walk the dogs longer if need be for added enjoyment for the pups. She has treats that she gives them on breaks and they always come back nice, tired and happy! I will definitely continue use Tabbie for our walks for our dogs
