“Did a great job caring for our 3 kitties and helping make sure they all got the right foods!! She kept things tidy and made us feel better about being away from our house. Thank you!!! 🥰”

“Andrew was exceptional! I’m excited to book him again. He was attentive to detail and caring towards my cat, I felt very reassured and relieved being a first time cat owner going out of town.”

About: I’ve grown up having dogs and cats my whole life! They bring me so much joy, and life is so much better with our fluffy friends. Growing up, I’ve been blessed with Shih Tzu’s, a Maltese, a labradoodle, a golden doodle, Siamese cats, a tuxedo cat, and a ragdoll. Besides my own pets, I have lots of experience pet sitting Dalmatians, German Shepherds, and indoor/outdoor cats. I love to spend time with them and will ensure they have everything they need to be happy and healthy. I also have lots of experience administering medicine. I promise to love your fur baby and treat them as I would my own. ❤️ I will talk to them, sing to them, and of course, spoil them! I’m a full-time musician and my week days are usually very flexible. I have shows during evenings and weekends, but I can always make time to check in on your pets for potty and feeding times. With my own dogs and cats, I know how important attention and quality time are for their health and happiness. I will follow your instructions on your pet’s needs, including walks, feeding times, treats, medications, and play!
About: I have a childhood dog that lives with my parents and two young kitties that live with me. I have experience with both and know how different personalities can be! I work Monday through Friday in a hybrid position but make my own schedule therefore can work around your pets needs. I am an active person that enjoys walks and playing with cats and dogs. I have a gated driveway that is used occasionally but remains closed if no car is going in or out. It is big enough for your pet to play in and there is a backyard where they can go potty. I will always be with them when outside and they can be in their crate inside or I don't mind giving them extra cuddles on the couch.
“Andrea is exactly the type of dog walker and pet sitter you are looking for! Great communication and response time and overall loving/caring personality. Your animals are sure to love her! They’ll be in great hands!”

About: I treat every animal in my care like they’re part of my own family, because that’s exactly how I’d want someone to treat mine. I focus on creating a clam safe and loving environment. Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily life. I live on a mini farm property with plenty of space for playtime. I structure my days around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, my priority is to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved. If your pet has specific needs, like crate training, medication, or anxiety care, I’m experienced and happy to accommodate.
About: As a mom of four and an empty nester, caring for others comes naturally to me. I’ve had dogs my whole life and am completely comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities. I currently spend my time caring for seniors, so patience and attentiveness are second nature. I speak both English and Spanish and treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. I spend Monday through Wednesday at a senior home but have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation. I’m available for pet care the rest of the week (and Monday-Wednesday, as needed) and can adjust as needed for your pet's routine. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and am very comfortable caring for dogs in smaller spaces. I make sure pets get plenty of walks, attention, and love.
About: I am more excited to hang out with your pets than you are for your vacation. Grew up with dogs and cats, and I am currently the go-to sitter among my family and friends! I am freelance editor and part-time substitute teacher with 100% control of my schedule. On subbing days, I’m at school from 8:00-2:30; for my freelance projects, I can work anywhere (including your home, with your pets!) The comfort of your pets is my number one priority, and I am happy to accommodate experiences to disrupt their schedules and environment as little as possible, especially for high-stressed friends.

About: I absolutely love cats and have 10 years of experience caring for them. At home, I have a sweet and well-mannered 6-year-old Maine Coon cat. He enjoys eating, sleeping, and sunbathing—he’s a little lazy but incredibly charming! He’s also very friendly and gets along well with other cats. Beyond my own cat, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for many different breeds, including British Shorthairs, Golden British Shorthairs, Ragdolls, black cats, tortoiseshells, and more. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and needs, and I always strive to provide a comfortable and stress-free experience for them. Whether your cat loves playtime, enjoys quiet companionship, or needs special care, I’m happy to accommodate their preferences. I’d love the opportunity to meet and care for your furry friend! I work from home full-time, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. My daily routine revolves around ensuring they are well-fed, comfortable, and entertained. Whether it’s playtime, grooming, or just providing companionship, I’m always around to meet their needs. This flexibility also allows me to closely monitor their health and behavior, ensuring they feel safe and happy at all times. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly 2B2B apartment with my wife and our friendly 6-year-old Maine Coon. Our home is quiet, safe, and designed to be a stress-free environment for cats. We ensure there are no hazards, and there’s plenty of space for pets to explore, play, or relax. Additionally, we live in a pet-friendly community, making it a welcoming and safe space for animals. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routines and specific instructions to ensure their cat feels secure and comfortable. Cleanliness, proper feeding schedules, and personalized attention are my top priorities, whether in my home or theirs.
About: With two dogs in my own household, I love being able to know I can not only care for but also make doggos happy! I love playing fetch or maybe even trying to teach them a trick to keep them entertained. I work full time but have a varied schedule. This leaves me time to fill my day hanging out with fun animals! If it’s a drop in or a dog walk, I’d love to keep your pets entertained! I have two friendly dogs in my household with a large backyard and secure fencing. There’s plenty of space both in and outside the home to keep them entertained and having fun.
About: I have 4 dogs of my own, ages 10 to 3 months old. Know feeding, walking, and bathing for small and larger dogs. Previous experience helping at an animal shelter. Helped in giving medication, feeding, walking, as well cleaning procedures to ensure pet safety. I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to watch over your furry friends! I am available for walks and drop in visits throughout the week, before 1pm. I have a fenced backyard that is connected to a car port that is also fenced. I have 4 friendly dogs who will be able to play and keep your pups company. I am capable to crate your pup or can bring them inside the house if necessary. I have 2 cameras, one in the backyard and one in front of my home that oversees the gate as an extra safety precaution.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and pets of all kinds for over 15 years. From walking, feeding, and bathing to helping with senior care and even the more energetic pups, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to treat their pets like my own, because to me, pets are family 🥹♥️🐾 I am self-employed and primarily work from home, which allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I’m available to take dogs out for walks and care routines 2–3 times daily as needed. I can also board one or two pets overnight (for pets from the same household). My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to accommodate requests unless I already have prior commitments. I treat every fur baby like family while keeping their routine consistent. My fenced yard is safe and supervised, and I use a natural spray to keep bugs away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or cuddle time, your pet will always feel loved. And if they aren’t allowed on beds at home, the same rules apply here too, your house rules are my house rules. 🐾💛
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I can remembers. We grew up with a Chihuahua and German Shepherd, and now I have a Husky. I love taking her for long walks and hikes on the weekends! I currently work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule. I can't board any pets, but I can generally petsit with some notice! I've cared for pets in multiple client's home. Some are crated and others are allowed to roam freely, this all just depends on what you prefer.
About: I’ve grown up with both large and small breed dogs my entire life, so caring for animals feels very natural to me. I also have hands-on experience working in a shelter environment, where I cared for dogs of all personalities — from sweet, energetic puppies to reactive dogs and those with behavioral challenges. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I always focus on meeting each animal where they are and respecting their individual needs. Safety, comfort, and trust are my top priorities, especially for dogs who may need a little extra understanding. I’m also a proud cat parent and absolutely love cats! I’m comfortable caring for feline friends of all personalities and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well-loved while you’re away. Whether it’s dogs or cats, you can trust that your pet will be treated with kindness, patience, and genuine care. I work until 2:30 pm Monday through Friday, but I’m available for afternoon and evening walks or check-ins on weekdays. My weekends are very flexible and open for longer walks, more frequent check-ins, and extended care as needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, routine, and making sure each animal feels comfortable and secure in their own environment. I respect household rules and follow any care instructions closely to ensure consistency and minimize stress for your pet. I’m comfortable with crating when needed, providing enrichment activities, and engaging in play to make sure pets are both physically exercised and mentally fulfilled. I also have no problem cleaning up after dogs or cats and keeping their space tidy. I always take cues from the animal — whether they need structure, space, playtime, or affection. If your pet enjoys cuddles and companionship, I’m happy to provide plenty of love; if they prefer independence, I respect that too. Whatever your pet needs, I’m committed to providing thoughtful, attentive care.

Washington Square pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alexsys did a fantastic job taking care of our pets! She gave them the perfect amount of attention, ensured they were well tended to and provided us with detailed updates throughout our time away, alleviating any anxiety we may have had about leaving our pets while on vacation.

Maya was such an amazing sitter for our cat. She went above and beyond, not only taking care of his food, water, and litter, but also playing with him for extended periods of time. She provided frequent updates and took so many wonderful photos and videos that she shared with us so that we could feel totally at ease. We would highly recommend Maya and would book her again in a heartbeat!
5 Stars – The Best Pet Sitter We’ve Had! We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Marisol was absolutely amazing with both our cat Gin and dog Makii during her house drop-in visits. From the moment she met them, it was clear she had a genuine love for animals, our usually shy cat even came right up to her, which never happens! She was super attentive, gave both pets plenty of love and playtime, and kept everything incredibly clean and tidy. We came home to happy pets and a spotless home, which made the whole experience completely stress-free. If you’re looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and truly great with animals, Marisol is the one. We’ll definitely be booking her again!
