Drew is fantastic! He offered to meet Mavi the day before the walk and it really helped to establish familiarity. She came back so happy. I know who to contact in the future 🙌🏼

Lee was awesome! I requested his services to walk and feed my dog while I was an away on a trip, and it was a great experience. Lee was very communicative, punctual, reliable, and all around great with my doggo. I would definitely recommend his services to any dog owners that needs someone good and trustworthy to care for them.

About: I’ve been a dog walker for 2+ years, I have experience working at a dog daycare, dog walking, dog sitting, cat sitting, and drop in feeding for both. I am patient, reliable and punctual. I pay attention, take animals safety seriously and will take very good care of your pets. Rain or shine, snow or summer heat won’t stop me from showing up 😁 I am willing to do meet and greets! I’ve mainly worked in Manhattan (preferably I choose to work all around Manhattan) , I can come to Brooklyn or Queens to dog/cat sit and commute is no problem for me. I am available weekdays and weekends, I have lots of free time and I would like to use that to work as much as I can. I understand that each cat/dog has their own needs and some require special attention and/or care, such as diaper changes for disabled dogs or pets that take certain medications, I am experienced with these and I can do it. I can and will do whatever the pet needs, I’ll be present and take care of them.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and attentive pet lover with 6 years of experience as a dedicated dog mom. I understand how important it is to know your pets and home are being cared for by someone responsible, patient, and genuinely loving. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, giving lots of attention, and keeping pets calm and comfortable while you’re away. I also take pride in keeping homes clean, secure, and well cared for during house sits. I’ll treat your pets like family and your home with respect and care! I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, consistency, and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, check-ins, overnight stays, and making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Animals tend to warm up to me quickly because I’m calm, gentle, and attentive to their individual personalities and needs. I love spending quality time with pets, giving them affection, playtime, and patience so they feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for.

About: I was a volunteer supervisor at the same no kill NYC rescue organization weekly from 2007- 2020. I have cared for dogs and cats of all types with all kinds of issues. I have worked as a dog walker and watched cats prior to Rover. I have fostered and owned both dogs and cats. I have watched up to 5 dogs at any one time in my own home. My current senior dog is petrified of NYC and I do everything it takes to make her walks as pleasurable as possible. I truly love them all. My avail is usually early morning, evening and weekends but will flex whenever possible. Please reach out and ask. I am very responsive. Thank you! I will follow the client's instructions for their pets. I know how important it is to take care of a pet per the owner's instructions. I will only alert the client if I am not clear on the instructions or detect some sort of danger.

It was difficult finding a sitter over the busy holiday season that was good with a shy/skittish dog like ours, so glad we found Fatima!! Our dog was immediately comfortable around her, and we knew they’d enjoy their nice long daily walks together. Fatima was also very communicative, she met him beforehand, was helpful in fixing my scheduling mistake, and sent us Rover Cards for every walk. We look forward to booking with her again!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all ages & multiple sizes since I was 14. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping pets company, I make sure they feel loved and safe. Family and friends have trusted me with their pets for years and I treat them all as if they were my own. I am currently offering full-time dog walking and drop-in visits this May through August. I'm comfortable with all breeds and sizes I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate afternoon and evening walks to fit your pups routine. Whether you need daily walks or check ins I’m willing to work with your needs. On weekends I’m able to spend more time with your pets and give them the love and care they need! What you can expect when you book with me: • Photo updates during every walk and visit so you always know your pup is happy • Consistent, reliable scheduling — I treat every booking like a commitment, not a favor • Flexible availability for morning, midday, and afternoon appointments • Same-day and last-minute bookings welcome when my schedule allows When caring for pets in a client’s home I make sure I follow their daily routines so that they feel comfortable and safe. I provide fresh water, food(as instructed) take them on safe and enjoyable walks, and spend time playing or just keeping them company depending on what they enjoy most so pets don’t feel lonely while you’re away. My goal is to make sure they’re safe, happy, and cared for just like they would be with you.

About: I am a dedicated pet care provider that is comfortable with any animal shape or size. I am very passionate about my job and making sure the pet Im taking care of has all of its needs, and ofcourse some slight spoilage! I started out in dog daycares and moved on to do all kinds of animal care work. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies as young at 2 months old! I am educating myself to become a dog trainer and can help provide tips when it comes to building human-canine relationships. I can also do specials needs such as insulin shots. I am also in the process of becoming a certified Animal Handler in New York State, so I can further my education in animal care. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry baby! I currently work part time once a week at a Grooming academy. So i will have plenty of time during the week to spend time with your pet! I also live with animals so I am constantly spending my time walking feeding and caring for them. I walk the dogs at least 4 times a day. Morning, mid day, evening, and late night relief. Also depending on the weather a trip to the dog park. I live in a spacious apartment with 3 cats and two dogs. I have done my best to provide a sanctuary here for my animals and any visitsors who comes across us. I have one room dedicated to the animal with cat trees and soft spaces. Water fountains (for dogs and cats) and beds for lounging. I have gates for separation during feeding times and a nice big couch everyone is welcome to lounge on!

About: I have had plenty of experiences in both animal & children care, having temporarily worked in a daycare and having had friends/family that rely on me to be present knowing I’d be glad to look after their furry friends. As much as I’d like to say they have been professional experiences, emotional attentiveness and the time dedicated overrides anything. I place emphasis on the personal relations with the pet and the trusting comfort of their owner. And can’t wait to continue. I am exceptionally flexible and willing to cater to the needs and schedule of my clients. I am mainly available during week days :) . I offer dog walking services and in-home pet sitting. I go for a very balanced schedule of feeding, walks at the park, activity/movement and rest.

Kate was wonderful with Brinkley! He is a very shy boy and she did an excellent job at getting him to interact with her. While he was reluctant to leave (as always), it was an easier exit than we've seen with any other walker so far. She asked great questions and is a great communicator and Brinkley came back happy and tired -- booking a recurring weekly session right now!

It’s reassuring to know my dog is in good hands, and I will definitely continue rebooking with him in the future.
