About: I've had 4 fish, 4 cats and I used to work in a doggie daycare. I currently work as a professional dog walker in one of the many Manhattan based companies! I also use Wag and have dog sitting experience, as well as experience with reactive, aggressive and anxious dogs. I work 9am to 1pm Monday to Friday and are free all day on weekends. I have open availability any time beyond that timeframe but I don't work at night. I do overnight stays though. I make sure all doors are locked, all pets are given fresh water and feed daily, with washed pet bowls, crated if need be, that every strap on a leash collar or harness is secure before leaving the apartment, and I also have heavy duty leashes for pullers, reactive or large dogs and water bowls. I also make sure that anything dangerous like medications or human food are out of the reach of a soft.

About: I've been loving and taking care of dogs since I got my first pet when I was 10 years old! I have experience taking care of younger, energetic dogs and older, more laid-back dogs. As my dog got older, he needed a lot of different types of care in regards to specific diet and making sure he takes his prescribed medications, so I'm very capable at that aspect of pet care! I've also done pet sitting for some friends a few times so I know how to help make our little friends feel more comfortable in a different environment. At the end of the day, I love all the routine and fun tasks-walking, feeding, bathing and lots of playing! I'd be super excited to provide some extra care and love to your pups!! I currently work remotely proofreading and fact-checking AI chatbot responses. I also am an aspiring actor, so most of my time with that consists of auditions. Most auditions are self-taped in my home and occasionally I'll have an in-person audition. I attend an acting class once a week on Tuesdays from 11a-3:30pm. I am very available and flexible when it comes to pet care! My goal is to make sure your pet feels as comfortable and loved as possible! My dog did not like change and did not want his routine disrupted so I will make sure if there is any instructions when it comes to walks, feeding and treats that I will follow them! I will also send plenty of updates, pics and videos!

About: I used to take care of my mom’s dog while I lived with her, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines and giving pets the attention they need. Every morning, I’d take him to the park for playtime and a 30-minute walk, and I always made sure he was fed on time. He was scared of the groomer, so I learned how to brush and bathe him at home to keep him clean and comfortable. That experience taught me how to be patient and gentle, especially with pets that are a little nervous. I treat every pet like they’re my own and really try to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m doing Rover full time right now, so pet care is a big part of my everyday life. My schedule is built around the pets I’m caring for—whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or boarding. I plan my day to make sure they get enough attention, playtime, and consistency. Since this is my main focus, I have the flexibility to give each pet the time and care they need. When I do dog walks or drop-in visits, safety and trust are my top priorities. I always make sure pets are secure on their leash and check that harnesses or collars fit properly before we head out. I stick to safe walking routes and keep a close eye on their behavior and surroundings. During drop-in visits, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication, or just keeping them company. I always make sure doors are locked, everything is cleaned up, and the pet is comfortable before I leave. I also send regular updates so pet parents know their pets are happy and in good hands.

Whitestone pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sylvia was an amazing pet sitter while we were away for more than a week. She went above and beyond to take care of our cats! She followed all of our instructions completely and even went out of her way to throw out the trash and bring in our packages. We felt so relieved to leave our cats for the first time with someone who truly cared and loved them. Would definitely recommend her services!!

Lil helped us out very last minute with taking care of our sweet and sassy kitty. Not only was Lil an absolute sweetheart and saved the day, but our shy girl came out to spend time with Lil and actually played with her. I couldn't recommend Lil enough, and will for sure request her for our next time away. Thank you!!

Lawrence is a very reliable and responsible person. He took care of our two cats with great attention to detail every step of the way. He thoughtfully sent us videos and proactively kept in touch throughout the process. Thank you, Lawrence — we’ll definitely reach out to you again for our next trip!

Kayla took great care of my 3 cats for 2 weeks… it was her first time sitting for them, and she quickly learned and catered to their individual personalities and preferences… Kayla provided great feedback, and I looked forward to her daily photos and updates… so I could see that they all enjoyed the time and attention she doted on each of them… be it play-time, treat-time, grooming, or just hanging-out-time… Her communications and attention to details allowed me to relax while on vacation…

Daniel was beyond professional, he took care of Hiro as his own son and was always the best in the business. I would highly recommend him to anyone who’s going away and entrusting him with their house key and pets to him. Daniel should be the standard of Rover.

Nicole is wonderful with my cat Belle. She is very thorough in her care and goes the extra mile to make sure my cat is happy and healthy. She sends the best content of my cat during each visit which I love to watch. Knowing my cat is with Nicole keeps me at ease while I’m away and I don’t need to worry about my cat at all. Thank you, Nicole!!
