About: Trained Walker and Your Pet's Favorite Auntie! 🐶🐱❤️ I know leaving your pet with someone else can be worrisome, so my main priority is to reassure you and guarantee that your pet receives high quality care. I am grateful to be able to connect with and provide service to all animals; it’s my calling! With 10+ years of experience, I specialize in senior pet care, anxious animals, special-needs pets, and animals with past trauma who require gentle handling. I've completed training through an accredited dog walking business which included intensive hands on instruction, focused on dog behavior, safe handling, and structured walks. I offer professional dog walking services that combine exercise and exploration. My understanding of canine behavior ensures each dog enjoys a walk that’s both stimulating and comforting. Walking dogs is a passion of mine, and I take pride in keeping them active, happy, and well-behaved during every outing. I am comfortable administering oral and topical medications as directed, monitoring eating and drinking habits, assisting with vet visits, and providing calm care for pets experiencing pain, anxiety, or age-related challenges. I build trusting relationships with pets by following established routines, paying close attention to body language, and adapting care to each animal’s needs. I value clear, consistent communication with pet parents and always provide thoughtful updates to ensure peace of mind while they’re away. Working with Rover allows me to continue doing what I love most, caring for animals and supporting pet parents. I currently work from home, which allows me ample time and flexibility to give pets focused, attentive care. I live directly across the street from a large park (1 minute walk) and I am a 10 minute walk from a park with hiking trails for extended walks and exercise. Holiday and last-minute bookings are accepted based on availability. I recommend reaching out as early as possible for holidays to ensure availability, but I’m happy to accommodate short-notice requests whenever possible. I live in a clean and quiet ground level apartment with easy access to a nearby park and dog park. I have a crate, bed, food / water bowl, training pads, and toys in my home to ensure your pup's stay is comfortable, clean, and safe. My home is designed to be a peaceful “home away from home." When caring for pets in my home, I follow each pet’s established routines, including feeding schedules, walks and any needed medication. I prioritize safety, comfort, and close supervision. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely. I focus on maintaining familiar routines, keeping the environment clean and secure, and offering clear updates to pet parents.
“Thank you Tiffany for hanging out with Biscuit! I appreciate the updates and quick communication. Also really appreciated doing a meet and greet before we booked daycare. Biscuit is excited to see you again soon!”


“Our dog had a great time with Vivian! She and Ronnie were so helpful and kept us updated with how our nervous rescue pup was doing throughout the day. We’d definitely recommend her:)”

“Kiky was absolutely fantastic with my 5-year-old Yorkie! She is incredibly patient and caring, which is so important for a smaller dog. I really appreciated how responsive she was throughout the booking, and the photos she sent were amazing—it was so nice to see my pup looking happy and settled. It’s clear she has a genuine love for dogs and takes great care of them. I felt totally at ease leaving him in her hands and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Anupa was so amazing with Zoey. Took her on long walks and gave plenty of cuddles just what she needed. She accommodated my last minute request and communicated with me frequently. Will definitely use Anupa again for any dog sitting!”

“Emma was wonderful with my baby. He seemed to have a really great time and I’m glad he got along with Emma’s dog Bumbas. My baby is tuckered out and about to go to sleep earlier than usual for a Saturday. I plan to connect with Emma again and I’m going to recommend her to all of my dog parents. Thanks again Emma!”

“Luisanna was very responsive and kind to my little one! She was easy to work with and I would definitely book again! Thank you Luisanna for watching my baby!”


About: I have grown up surrounded by animals—cats, dogs, fish, birds, and even a turtle named Harry who’s still swimming with us today (he was born before I was!). I have hands-on experience with pets at all life stages and understand the unique care each phase requires. From playful kittens and puppies to senior pets needing extra comfort, my empathy runs deep. I’m also comfortable administering medications and using pet inhalers. I live just a 10-minute walk from Bennett Park and 15 minutes from Fort Tryon Park—perfect spots for pups to enjoy nature, fresh air, and the sounds of birds in a calming, sensory-rich environment. My apartment is a peaceful, pet-safe space where your companion will feel safe and cared for. I currently share my home with Chapito, my affectionate and playful cat. He’s 1.5 years old and full of energy, but he’s also sensitive to the mood in the room—knowing when it’s time to play and when it’s time to wind down. I also live with my grandmother and aunt, both lifelong animal lovers. While I’ll be the one directly responsible for your pet’s care, their warm presence creates a calm and cozy, family-like environment that many pets really enjoy. Your companion will never feel alone in our home. If you are looking for someone reliable, empathetic and nurturing who will communicate with you thoroughly about your babies' well being-I am your pick! I currently have an open schedule so I would be very flexible on days and times that anyone needs. I am an early bird so I do try to get to everyone early, but I have no issue with individual requests. In my clients home, I make sure any exists are locked when I enter and leave, aware of the floor as I am near any exist as pets do like to run sometimes. I always check for stoves to be off, any electronics to be okay and not overheating. During summer I make sure pets stay cool however the family sees fit. This could also just mean cracking a window which usually should have a mesh screen, but windows do stay cracked open enough for their faces to feel fresh air. I clean the space at least once every few days depending on number of pets. Making sure there are no hazards or dangerous accidents that could potentially occur. In public, your pet will never be left alone nor unattended by my own eyes. If a situation seems unsafe for them, there is no hesitation by me to remove us from the equation. I do encourage a 'no-pressure' introduction meeting prior to official booking, it can gage how both the pet and you feel with having me service you!
“Jonathan was great with Ollie and was really responsive with a last minute booking to help us out! Ollie was comfortable enough to cuddle up for a nap. Really enjoyed all the pictures. We will definitely have him over again!”

“While a few hours may not provide a comprehensive experience, Samantha was very attentive, demonstrated good communicating skills and puntual My dog seemed comfortable.”

“Kadeem was very responsive throughout the entire process. He took my last-minute booking and still squeezed in time for a meet-and-greet before I finalized the booking. He asked great questions to make sure Ginger got the best care. He was also super accommodating and went above and beyond to make pick up and drop off easy for me. I'd definitely book again.”

“Sonya was great with Ruby and Ruby loved playing with her and her dog Wallace. Sonya sent great pics and videos and was communicative and flexible about meeting place and times. We will be booking with her again soon!”

Luisanna was amazing with Lola and I would recommend her to anyone. We took our Lola girl on vacation with us to New York but she could not do some of the activities… Luisanna was available at short notice with quick and easy drops off/ pick ups. She was very responsive when I texted her and communicated with us during the day on how Lola was doing. Her communication is amazing, along with her sweet relaxed energy Lola warmed right up to her ! She truly took care of my baby as her own and it was easy to tell when I brought Lola the following day, Lola ran right to her. It was so reassuring to know my dog was happy, safe and well cared for. Her location is very convenient for any New York or New Jersey plans as she is right over the bridge. She was truly a life saver and I am so greatful I found her. Anytime I visit NY I will be contacting her as I’m sure Lola would love to see her !

Stephanie and Corey are the best! They've saved my life with watching my 1 year old pup with separation anxiety...he loves them so much and can't wait to spend the day with them and his new best friends Luna and Izzy! I can't begin to explain how much they've helped me with their care and accommodation. I know that my puppy is safe and happy when he's at their house! 💞

Kaitlin has been doing a great job with my senior dog Jackson. Jackson warmed up to Kaitlin very quickly. Jackson is pretty much blind and deaf and Kaitlin has been providing him with support to make him feel comfortable, such as letting him explore her apartment, pick him up to take him up and down stairs, use doggie stairs in her home, etc. Upon short notice she has agreed to adjust the drop off/pick up schedule, feed him meals, and board him overnight. Further Kaitlin gives me updates to let me know what’s going on with my dog, such as pictures, notifying me if he’s sleeping a lot. I’m greatful that Kaitlin is in the neighborhood and plan to use her services regularly.

We are new in the neighborhood and reached out to Lili about boarding and day care for our senior pups. Since our dog has become more finicky about things we wanted to take the process a bit slowly before boarding for multiple days. Lili was completely open to a meet and greet and dry run right away, and the first meeting went great. For our first day care day, our dog was being stubborn about walking down the street to her building. I was able to text Lili and she met us outside to help get our dog inside. This patience and flexibility, along with her warmth and ease in interactions with our dog, immediately impressed us. Lilis reassuring updates and pics from the session, and our dog's content demeanor after pickup, has been so great to see. How fantastic to have a good sitter as a neighbor. Thank you Lili!

Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my dog for the day. You were extremely professional, attentive, and reliable, and it was clear from the start that my dog was in excellent hands. I truly appreciated the care, patience, and kindness you showed, and you did an outstanding job. It gave me great peace of mind knowing everything was handled so well. I would gladly recommend you to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring with animals.

Alexus is an amazing fit for my dog Soukie! Soukie took to Alexus right away and she tends to be on the timid side so I was impressed to see her cuddled up on Alexus’ lap! Alexus sent many pictures and asked lots of questions about Soukies routine to make sure Soukie received the best care. I definitely recommend Alexus! She has a kind and easy going demeanor that dogs respond well to!

Carly took such great care of Mango! She made sure she got multiple walks in and kept me updated with messages and pictures, which I really appreciated. It was my first time leaving Mango, so I was a little nervous, but Carly made the whole experience so easy and reassuring. Mango clearly felt super comfortable, she had such a good time she didn’t even miss me 😭 You can tell Carly genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I’d absolutely trust her with Mango again and highly recommend her 💛
