House Sitting in Woodlawn

“Bryant was excellent with my senior dog. He was incredibly experienced in terms of my dog’s specific needs, including diaper changes and being mindful of her dementia traits. He was also very communicative and offered multiple updates throughout the day.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up with two dogs and was very hands-on with their care; everything from long walks to making sure they were always active, happy, and getting lots of attention. Since then, I’ve dog and cat sat for many friends and neighbors over the years, and I always treat their pets like my own. I know how important it is to stick to a pet’s routine and make them feel comfortable while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule, so I’m available for pet sitting three days during the week and can be flexible based on your pet’s needs! I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and predictable environment for every pet. I’m very attentive on walks; keeping a close eye on surroundings, avoiding unsafe situations, and making sure your pet is always secure. In the home, I’m mindful about keeping doors closed, food and small items out of reach, and maintaining a clean, hazard-free space. I also take time to understand your pet’s personality, comfort level, and boundaries. Whether that means giving them space to warm up, sticking closely to their routine, or providing extra attention and reassurance, I adjust my approach to best fit their needs!😊🐾

“Jorge is the best! My girls were so well behaved on our first walk when returning home! He is like a Dog whisperer! I can tell he took great care of them and we will definitely use him again!”

“Kamryn was great! She was very patient with our shy girl and stuck with it to start to earn her trust. She was also responsive and very accommodating when we needed to adjust timing/location slightly.”

“Antonio was a wonderful babysitter for my two puppies. One of my dogs has severe separation anxiety, and Antonio was incredibly attentive and patient with him. He kept me consistently updated throughout the day, was very communicative, and shared plenty of pictures, which gave me great peace of mind. At the end of the visit, he even offered helpful tips that I truly appreciated as a first-time dog owner. I would absolutely recommend him.”

“Liliana is an exceptional sitter who provided us with great updates about our pup while staying in our home. We could count on Liliana to care for our girl. We hope she comes again soon!”

“Great communication, on time, sweet and responsible with my fur baby, and overall would highly recommend!”

“Dawn and her sons were great. Cash was happy, the house was clean and we got tons of photos while we were away. Will definitely use them again.”

About: Growing up in a house filled with pets, I have a lifetime of experience in caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. Whether your dog loves long, energetic walks or cuddles on the couch, I'll provide the attention and care they need. I've been told by the families I've worked for that their pets seem calm and happy after I've taken care of them. I pride myself on making sure families trust that their fur friends are getting the best possible care with me. I'm also very communicative, so you'll get plenty of updates and adorable photos. My schedule is flexible, with availability during the day and at night to take walks or do drop-ins. I'm also available to stay overnight in your home. I treat pets as if they were my own. I follow your instructions for their care and also stick to each pet’s routine with their feeding schedules, medication, walks, and playtime to make sure they're comfortable and happy.

About: I started working with pets at the start of the pandemic, when my mom surprised the household with an energetic and anxious goldendoodle. He was 50 pounds and 5 feet long, and insisted on peeing in every corner of the house. I dedicated myself to training him, and he now serves as a service animal for mental health disorders. In the last six years, I have worked with dogs of all breeds and sizes, rabbits, birds, and cats. I can't wait to get to know your fur-baby :) I am available everyday between the hours of 9:00am - 3:00pm, but am able to make other arrangements if needed. Please feel free to contact me if amended hours are needed! My services include providing multiple daily walks, food, potty breaks, and playtime with your pet (dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds) in your home. I am also able to train pets at all levels of obedience to perform a series of tricks ranging from sit to retrieving medications.

“kamila is great. I went out of town for a few days, and my normal catsitter wasn't available for twice-daily check-ins. she lives close to me so it's easy, but i felt like asking someone new to drop by multiple times a day was a lot. so I decided to just try full-on house sitting for the first time. I'm glad I did! kamila came over a couple days before I left for a meet and greet, to meet me, my 2 cats, and see my home. during my trip, kamila would send me twice-daily recaps with photos (as requested), and the cats looked comfy and happy. one of them didn't seem to leave her side! I left a lot of detailed instructions to keep their routine as "same" as possible, and kamila handled my neuroticism like a pro. lastly, kamila was also a thoughtful house guest - when I got home, it didn't look like anyone had even been here! I will definitely be booking with kamila again in the future. she is great with cats, people, and homes! thank you!! 💜”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since i was a little girl, always been the go to pet sitter when my mothers friends would leave town for a week or two And i’d be the one dropping in on my great grandma to help walk the dog, clean any messes that were made before i got there and made sure her fur baby was fed and bathed if necessary I love helping folks out with their furbaby’s and getting to know the personalities beneath all the fluff 🙂‍↕️ I’m currently unemployed at the moment so i’m home quite a bit with a lot of spare time. Plenty of time to take your furbaby’s out for walks, clean litter boxes, feed them and of course plenty of play time :) That entirely depends on the owner, people have unique routines and rules for their fur babies So please tell me in advance if your furbaby has any special needs or routines :)

“Lesly stayed at our house with Archie (our very anxious mutt) and was so great! Gave us incredible updates & photos/videos everyday, and took great care of Archie. She left the house clean and tidy, and even left us some (human) treats! We will definitely have her back again!”

“Hadley is amazing house sitting for our cats and the best communicator with us! Always send pictures and answers all questions promptly. We came home to 2 happy kitties. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my babies were in good hands”

“Once again we came home to happy dogs. We received lots of photos and updates, so we knew the dogs were doing well. This was our second time having Ana and Arjun come over to take care of George, and this time they took care of our grand dog Billie. They said george recognized them immediately, it’s nice to know we have such wonderful dog sitters! I highly recommend Ana and Arjun!!”

About: Hey! My name is Nikki, I am new to rover but I have been dog walking for a few years now. I started my business on the UES/East Harlem but now that I have moved into the neighborhood I am hoping to meet more furry friends and families through here. My schedule is flexible so it allows me to work around your schedule. If something comes up last minute, short notice work trips, or maybe you just need some time for yourself. I completely understand, I got you covered ! Please feel free to reach out to me anytime if you have any questions I allow them to roam as if they were at their own home, I want them to feel comfortable in the space that they are going to be staying at for a few nights or even for the day.I provide updates and pictures while you’re away so that you can feel at ease.

About: Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, Westchester County! Open for long and short stays! anything you might have in mind. I grew up with dogs all my life, my family always had a dog by our sides, and that’s what lead me to become an animal lover as i got older! Please check out my cat care details if you’re interested! i will be working part time but i am available all day everyday on the weekends and i can squeeze in on weekdays. i love dogs so anything for them. i can follow any specific directions you might have since everyone is different with their pets. for my dogs i always keep an eye on them and make sure they’re okay. a wagging tail is a good sign.

“Maria was perfect. She helped us out in a tight jam and made our nervous pooch feel safe and relaxed. She was prompt, polite, professional. Will use her again.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life. I can’t remember many times when a dog was not around. I’ve been actively caring for pets since I was 11/12. I we had dogs and rabbits and fish and gerbils and birds. Our pets our our little bit of unconditional love. And in the end, my dog Juju was ill. I took care of him even when he couldn’t walk. From walk to doggie diapers and wee pads, to food and affection. Our pets are our hearts and their needs are important. All of them, including and most importantly love. My current dog, whom I’m boarding and hoping to adopt, wakes up and goes out immediately as he is still a puppy. While I get ready for work, he eats breakfast (he currently does 2 meals a day, trying to get his nutrition better), then he goes for a walk before I leave to teach class. Mid-day, he goes for another walk as he is still young and learning, in the evening after work or the gym, he gets dinner and a walk. He goes out at least 2 more times before bedtime. I have a grassy knoll convenient for quick walks. I live in an area that is both residential and close to shops. Lots of sidewalk and places to walk to. There’s even a park down the street, great for taking pets to go for a run. In my home, I keep things pets should not have locked away. And at another’s home, I follow the guidelines set by the dog parent.

“Overall happy with Jads care! He was open to having a meet and greet beforehand to meet us/the dogs, kept the house clean, and asked questions to make sure they felt comfortable while he was here”
