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.

“Shelley was absolutely great! She came in exactly when she said she would and went above and beyond caring for my cat. She took the time to give my cat attention, made sure the food and water bowls were full, and stayed in constant communication with me throughout. I especially appreciated the photo updates—it gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend Shelley to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: I have experience caring for cats for multiple families and understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. My responsibilities have included feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and providing companionship. I am attentive to each pet’s routine and personality, whether they are social and playful or prefer a quieter environment. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I enjoy sending updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are well cared for. i’m currently a college student that is available in the morning or at night !! I am free all day on most weekends as well! i know how to respect the boundaries of animals and still remain assertive. I do give them a lot of attention because I know that’s what they need!! I always make sure they have food and water as well!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love and attention I’ll give to your friend and companion. Pets are family which means they deserve the very best while you’re away. I want each pet care experience to be safe, happy and comfortable for your pet. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I also believe communication is key, so I always keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel completely at ease knowing their pet is in good hands. Pet care fits really well into my weekly routine! I work part-time which leaves me plenty of time on other days and evenings to focus on caring for pets. I love spending that extra time walking, playing, and giving each pet the attention they need. When I take care of pets, I do my best to make them feel completely at home. I stick to their normal routines as best as possible so everything feels familiar like feeding times and walks. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, whether they’re playful and energetic or calm and cuddly. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, happy, and comfortable, just like they would with their family.

“Amazing dog sitter! Aymet is reliable and caring. My dog was happy, well cared for, and i loved getting updates and photos while I was away. It gave me total peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

“Marion watched out kitty when we went out of town for 10 days. She was an excellent communicator and kept us up to date on all of our cats needs. He came to live time with her when she came over. She was also punctual and communicated when timing needed to shift slightly. All in all a very positive experience for us and our kitty of course.”

About: New to Rover? Use code BIANCB29046 for $20 off your first booking. Hi, I’m Bianca—a lifelong dog lover serving Riverdale, Kingsbridge, Spuyten Duyvil, Yonkers, and Southern Westchester! I run a small, intimate boutique doggy daycare and boarding service, ensuring your pup gets plenty of personalized attention in a safe and stress-free environment. Unlike large, overcrowded facilities, I keep things cozy so your furry baby can socialize, play, and relax just like they would at home. I also offer dog walking in Riverdale and Kingsbridge. About Me: 🐾 Born & raised in Riverdale – your local dog-loving neighbor! 🎓 Columbia grad & triathlete – active and attentive, so your pup gets plenty of love and care. 🐕 Experienced dog mom – I know how important safety and trust are (especially for pups who love to snack on random things!). 💼 Laid off 6 months ago – growing my small business while job hunting, so your support means the world to me! I know firsthand how stressful it can be to find someone trustworthy to care for your dog while you’re at work, traveling, or on vacation. That’s why I provide frequent updates, photos, and a meet-and-greet beforehand, so you feel at ease knowing your pup is in good hands. Let’s give your dog a fun, safe, and loving experience while you enjoy peace of mind. Message me to set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to welcome your pup into my home! 🐕💛 Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, especially since I'm currently working from home and applying to jobs, giving me plenty of time to focus on providing personalized care and attention to your dog alongside mine. I’m available 7 days a week with advance notice, ensuring flexibility and dedicated support for your pet’s needs. I have a dog-friendly home, as I own a pup myself, so everything is set up for safety and comfort. My dog is the friendliest cuddle bug, gentle and playful—perfect company for your dog. I also have a crate available if crating is preferred for sleeping or when I'm away, ensuring your pet's routine is maintained while they're with me. I also will take many pictures of your dog daily and send them to you :) My home is a calm and dog friendly environment designed to help dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Occasional barking, especially during play or adjustment periods, is completely normal and expected. However, dogs with excessive reactive barking toward people, dogs, noises, or movement may not be the best fit for my home environment. My home is a fully potty-trained household, so I ask that all dogs staying with me be fully house-trained as well. I completely understand that occasional accidents can happen, especially during the initial adjustment period in a new environment. However, repeated indoor accidents or marking behavior are not a good fit for my home environment and may result in an additional cleaning fee if extensive cleaning is required.

About: I've been in love with animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up around animals and owned a chihuahua. I regularly take care of friends' dogs in the area when they are out of town and am happy to meet some new furry friends! I am very loving, responsible, organized, nurturing, and attentive. Animals make me happy. I would love to take care of your furry friend! Book me and allow me to do something I love to do. I currently work from home, so my schedule is very flexible! I'm happy to visit your dog whenever is best for their schedule. I will gladly send you picture and video updates of your pet, and happy to play with them using their favorite toys. I also love cuddle sessions! I will ensure your pet is being cared for and am open to learning your pet's caregiving style. I like to listen to the pets I care for and pay attention to their body language. That has helped me fully understand the needs of each pet I have taken care of.

“Jennifer is the *purrfect* kitty sitter! She recently cared for my two senior cats and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. They liked her instantly, even if it took them a little time to fully come out of their shells—but by the end, they *loved* her! Jennifer clearly understands cats and knows how to build trust at their pace. She was reliable, communicative, and sent the sweetest photo updates while I was away. It gave me such peace of mind to know they were in such good hands. If you're looking for someone who will truly connect with your cats and care for them like her own, Jennifer is the one!”

About: I have loved animals all my life! I have had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and a few years working with PetsMart as a Pet Care associate. I am a full time pet sitter and I look forward to meeting and caring for new friends. I'm very very flexible and have transportation. I have a full house of cats and reptiles at home, so I can only pet sit in clients homes. I care for my pets by feeding twice a day, providing a lot of cat furniture and toys, being attentive and playful with them through out the day and allow them some sun bathing/fresh air time on our patio daily. Obviously I will respectfully follow any set rules and schedules of clients needs and wants and provide the same love and care as if they were my own.

“Bryant did a superb job with our three cats! He made himself available on short notice and did a great job tending to their individual meds. We could tell the cats liked him, too. Would definitely hire again!”

About: I've had my dog his whole life (17 years) but I've actually been a caretaker for my entire life. I'm the eldest sibling, first grandchild, therefore the oldest of all of my cousins & I have babysat all of them (and their pets) through all stages of young life. I'm used to taking care of animals & kids. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter as a kid in Pennsylvania, and thus far there isn't a single animal that I've come to contact that I don't like! These days, I do a lot of pet & house sitting for my artist friends and family (ranging from just a walk a day to over a week of living with their pets.) I have experience with older animals with medical needs, and I've even taken over for friends who were pet sitting themselves but couldn't handle the difficulties of living in a small space with a large teething puppy. A couple of years ago (right before the pandemic) one of my favorite neighborhood cats brought my to her newborn kittens, and I took it upon myself to feed & house her & the babies until they were ready for adoption (and they're all safe and happy with their individual families). Even the mom eventually got spayed & adopted. I'm a freelance artist, so my schedule varies from week to week. At the moment, I have a lot of freedom, so I'm prepared to take on whatever service(s) are needed of me. I follow instructions very well & always leave homes cleaner than how I entered them. In the past, I've created lists on my phone with furbaby's routines & needs (medical details with images included as an added measure,) as well as sending pictures/videos to their owners while they're out.

About: I’m a college student with 4 years experience who loves dogs, enjoys spending time playing with them, and really likes meeting and caring for new dogs whenever I get the chance. I have experience caring for dogs and puppies through helping family members with their pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing loving, reliable care to keep pets safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for.” I follow a daily schedule to care for my cats, including feeding them in the morning and evening, cleaning litter boxes regularly, providing fresh water, and spending time playing and bonding with them throughout the day. I provide a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment for pets by following their routine closely, ensuring their space is clean and secure, giving them fresh food and water, and offering gentle, attentive care and companionship.

“Lili took care of our cat, Mishmish, while we were on vacation. She followed instructions to the T, and our elderly cat, who is usually pretty lethargic and not overly friendly, warmed up to her. We came back to clean litter box, swept floors, and our cat having fresh water and food. We will absolutely work with Lili again when we travel for extended period of time, and highly recommend her to any pet owner.”

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!😊🐾
