“Mandel was very communicative, timely, and took excellent care of our pups while we were gone. I will definitely be utilizing his services again in the future!”

“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Regina K. as a pet sitter for my cat, Layla, while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Regina followed all of the instructions I left for her perfectly and took great care of Layla during each home visit. She was very nice and pleasant to communicate with, which made me feel at ease while I was away. Regina made sure Layla had her treats, wet food, and fresh water, cleaned the litter box thoroughly, and even spent time playing with her—something that meant a lot to me. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Layla’s well-being and comfort. I really appreciate Regina’s help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you, Regina!”
About: My first time taking care of a dog and house sitting was in 2018. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Even though the pandemic has changed how we live our lives, I am definitely looking forward to getting back to Dog walking or sitting. I currently work full-time. I can be available on the weekends. The morning or even the afternoon works well with me. I can also try to change my schedule if needed. I follow any instructions given to me on how to care for a pet. I have and will treat them as if they were mine.
About: I have been training and caring for my dog since the sixth grade, and am highly skilled in all areas of a best friend's needs. I have plenty of free time, and am looking for something fulfilling to fill the time with, helping people and their pets have their needs fulfilled and be happy. I can walk and feed animals along with being able to play with them, I am able to handle multiple pets needs at one time.
“Jasmine was such an energetic and patient sitter! I needed to find a sitter last minute for a weekend getaway and Jasmine was prepared to be flexible as well as thorough. Luna 🌑 is a shy kitty and he needs lots of patience and good energy, which Jasmine easily demonstrated early on! I also appreciated how communicative she was and how understanding she came off. Luna and I are so grateful for your love and care! 🩶”

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for 9+ years, caring for my French Bulldog through every stage of her life—from playful puppy to senior years—which taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to adapt to a dog’s changing needs. I now have a Cavapoo and love going through all the puppy milestones again, including basic training, routines, and socialization. I’m especially attentive to each dog’s personality, whether that means keeping up with an energetic pup or providing gentle, patient care for older dogs. I genuinely treat every dog like my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and am not working a traditional job, which allows me to dedicate focused time and attention to pet care. I’m starting with weekend availability so I can provide consistent, reliable care and ensure each pet gets my full attention. As I get established, I’m open to expanding my availability. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and can easily plan my week around their needs When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I always do a quick check to make sure there are no hazards or anything unsafe within reach, and I follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I give pets time to warm up to me at their own pace, using a calm and patient approach to build trust. Once they’re comfortable, I make sure they get plenty of attention, play, and care based on their energy level and personality. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners feel reassured and connected while they’re away
About: Animal care is my biggest passion. I’ve recently graduated college with a degree in biology, where I often volunteered at shelters for animal care experience. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, and even birds and turtles for as long as I can remember. My friends and family know they can rely on me when away for vacation to drop in and play with their pets, keep their pets company, and walk and feed their pets. I don’t think I’ve ever met a pet that doesn’t like me! So I’m so excited to help those in my community with animal care. I work on call only part time, so I’m available most hours of the week and some weekends. I would prefer early mornings or evenings, but I am ready for anything! In my clients home the first thing I do, in the case of a dog, is take them for a walk as it might’ve been hours since they’ve last been out. Sometimes I will let them in the yard if it is late at night, but I find longer walks will use up all their energy so they can nap well until the next time I pop in. Then it’s time for food and water refill, which if they’re reluctant to eat, I will wait with them to make sure they at least eat some. Then it’s play time/enrichment time where I try to get the last of their energy out. If I’m watching cats, I’ll feed them first and as they eat is my time to clean out the litter box. Cats also need tons of play time, so after they eat I’ll find any toys to keep them entertained for my time there. The hardest part for me is leaving them!
“Thoselin was great. She made all the visits on time, took pictures of my kitties, and cleaned their litter box everyday. My kitties are normally shy with strangers, but my babies seemed to love her.”

About: I’ve been around all types of dogs and taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old. Neighbors , family , and friends have relied on me to take care of their sweet best friends and babies. I had my own best-friend who was a Dacshound , who I adored and loved , sadly he passed on June 30th , 2022. I loved him with all of my being. I love all animals , big and small , and treat all animals with respect, patience , and love. I am capable of doing anything in the afternoon after 12 and nights like 7pm. I love dogs and once you become a client of mine, we can figure out a schedule that works best for the both of us. If I was to take care of your companions at your home , I would follow all the rules you have for your dogs! I would feed them the way you like them to be fed and at the time you recommend to feed them, I would play with them , clean after them as need be and wouldn’t scold them for little things that really dogs can’t control haha. I would take care of them just as if they were my own ! Lots of love and affection. I am able to take care of dogs who aren’t so friendly also. I’ve had experience in walking a dog who wasn’t so friendly , but after some time , he learned to trust me and I learned how to get him ready for a walk without getting bit haha. I am capable of putting your dog in a crate if need be . Giving certain medicines your dog may need, like the ones that you have to hide in their food. Im not afraid to do any oral medicine only if the dog is comfortable allowing me to administer.
“Laura was fantastic with our 4 month old puppy. She followed every instruction and detail and provided pictures and a thorough summary of her visits. She did a 30 minute meet and greet prior to her services in order to get familiar with my house and our puppy. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve spent a lot of time caring for my boyfriend’s dog and cat, so I’m comfortable with different routines and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. As a college student, I’m responsible and reliable, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐶🐱 Pet care fits well into my routine as a side hustle alongside my part-time job. I’m good at managing my time and can be flexible with walks, drop-ins, and sitting depending on the day. I make sure every pet gets my full attention and never overbook, so your pet’s care is always a priority. I provide care in my client’s home since I live in a dorm. I always follow your instructions closely and stick to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m careful about safety, keep doors and gates locked, and make sure your home is respected and left just as I found it. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs and treat them like my own. 🐶🐱
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and intuition I bring to every animal I work with. I’m not just a sitter—I genuinely understand dogs on a deeper level. I’ve helped deliver puppies, cared for senior dogs with patience and attention to their changing needs, and I have hands-on experience rehabilitating abused and neglected animals. That means I’m calm, observant, and able to read behavior quickly—whether it’s a nervous rescue or an energetic puppy still learning boundaries. I’m especially comfortable with puppies (potty training, basic commands, structure) and senior dogs who need a slower pace, medication, or extra comfort. I also naturally go above and beyond—whether that’s making sure routines are followed closely, giving extra affection, or keeping a close eye on subtle changes in behavior or health. Outside of sitting, caring for animals is just part of who I am. I regularly feed and look out for stray animals, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be understood, protected, and genuinely cared for. As an only child, I’ve always found a deep sense of comfort and connection in caring for dogs. Being able to meet their needs, earn their trust, and give them love brings me a genuine sense of purpose and fulfillment. It’s something that feels natural to me, and it’s a big part of why I’m so dedicated to the care I provide. I have a large, fully fenced yard with low grass, which creates a safe and comfortable space for dogs to walk, play, run, and enjoy plenty of outdoor time.

About: I volunteer at Bobbi and the Strays animal shelter for the last couple of months. I love dogs and had my own until he passed. I am self employed so I dictate my own schedule, I have a backyard and a car to take your dog to the park (if you'd like!). I work for myself so lots of free time! Honestly, I work an average of 2-5 hours a day and can give your pet lots of play and care time. I live in my own place with a balcony and backyard! I'm not worried about your pet having the space they'll need with me, my apartment has two bedrooms.

About: I’m an animal lover and experienced cat caretaker with over 10 years of hands-on experience raising two wonderful cats.

I communicate clearly, stay organized, and treat every home and pet with the same care I give my own. I can always accommodate your lovely pet into my schedule, the only thing I ask is at least 2 days notice to organize my schedule Whether be it a shy pet or an outgoing and friendly one, I keep an eye out for what may trigger them and act cautiously to avoid any accidents or misshaps
About: Previously an Assistant at Heart & Soul pet services in Greenpoint. Performed professional dog walking and housesitting for dogs and cats over the course of 10 months. 9:00am - 8:00pm. Can do earlier or later if its in the neighborhood! Unless I'm already booked, I have an open schedule. Everything works with my schedule perfectly.

Woodhaven-Richmond Hill pet parents share their Rover experiences
Dorothy and our cat Bamboo got along great. She allowed us to enjoy our weekend away without worrying and took great care of our little guy. We will definitely be asking her to watch him the next time we go away and feel relieved to have an animal lover watch our cat .

Laura is very attentive and took great care of my cat, Bunny! Bunny had some mild diarrhea right before we left for our trip, but thanks to Laura’s attentive care, she was back to her healthy self in no time. She also kept me updated and took lots of pics which I really appreciated. Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️

Our cat Teddy was glad to see Vanessa again for a couple days while we were out of town. She took good care of him and provided updates and photos. Vanessa is easy to work with, and we appreciated her prompt and thorough communication before, during, and after her visits as needed. Thank you!

Emily took such wonderful care of my cats, Tigerlily and Dante, and we are all very grateful for her. This was our first time leaving our cats behind. We were nervous but Emily made the whole experience completely stress-free with her kindness, consistent updates, and genuine love for animals. Tigerlily is usually pretty shy, and Dante loves attention, but somehow Emily made both of them feel so comfortable and cared for. She sent sweet photos and messages that really reassured me they were happy, and getting lots of love while we were away. When we came home, both cats were relaxed and had clearly enjoyed their time with her. It’s obvious that Emily genuinely cares about the animals she watches, and that kind of trust and warmth means everything. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and thoughtful cat sitter. Five stars without hesitation!

This is our second time hiring Tedy to watch after our cat Baloo, and we couldn’t be happier! Shes so kind, incredibly communicative and has a natural gift with animals. We felt so assured our entire trip abroad that Baloo was in the best hands. Thank you!

Brae is the best. This was my second time asking her to pet-sit my cat and she did amazing. She took a really good care of my cat, sent me daily updates with cute pictures, and most of all she was so gentle and sweet with my cat. Brae is very responsive, responsible, as well as very pleasant. Highly recommend. Thank you again, Brae!
