“Noelle was so great with my cat, she was great at communicating even while I was in a diffeeent country, and she gave a picture with every visit, keeping me updated on how they got along.”

“This was our first time getting a cat sitter at first we were nervous but once we read the positive reviews on Jennifer’s profile we contacted right away. Jennifer was amazing with our cat Alejandro. He’s still a kitten and she played with him as much as he wanted to play. She’s really good at reading his body language and giving him affection. She took really good care of him and put our minds at ease while on vacation. We will definitely use her again our cat just loves her.”

About: My husband and I have grown up around animals and have lived with dogs and cats. We are cat- parents and understand the needs of pet parents. My husband and I have flexible work schedules which allow us to take care of our fur baby and additional fur guests! We plan on caring for our fur friends as a team. Our fur friends will get to experience the nature and beauty of the park across the street or the cleanliness and tranquility of our apartment (with balcony, with permission). For visits to our fur friends we are committed to meeting pet parents expectations and maintaining a clean, organized and safe environment.
“I had the pleasure of having Fallon watch my dog, Ice, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was extremely reliable and always on time, which gave me great peace of mind. Fallon was so sweet and gentle with Ice, treating her with genuine care and affection. It’s clear she has a natural love for animals and a kind, trustworthy personality. I would definitely recommend Fallon to anyone in need of a dependable and compassionate dog sitter!”

“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.”

“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’ve been caring for dogs for nearly two decades, starting with the family pets I helped care for growing up and continuing into adulthood when I raised my own girls: Bella, my sweet senior pup, and Snow, my energetic 3-year-old. Caring for both a senior dog and a younger pup has given me a deep understanding of different needs, personalities, and energy levels. From slow, patient walks for older dogs to structured play and routine for younger ones, I know how to meet each dog where they are. I’m confident with: • Small-breed dogs (my specialty) • Senior dog support — soft handling, slow pacing, mobility awareness • Young adult dogs who need stimulation, consistency, and routine • Puppies — potty breaks, crate cues, and basic structure • Anxious, shy, or low-confidence pups who need calm energy • Reading dog body language and adjusting my approach gently • Maintaining a clean, safe, and comforting environment • Sending reliable photo + video updates for your peace of mind Every dog in my care is treated with the same love, patience, and attentiveness I give Bella and Snow. 🤍🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my day around caring for my own two pups, Bella and Snow. I’m home consistently, take multiple walks throughout the day, and already have set times for feeding, play, and outdoor breaks — adding another pup into that routine is easy and enjoyable for me. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and early evening visits, and I make sure every dog gets attention, structure, and calm energy while they’re with me. I take safety and trust very seriously. When caring for your pet, I follow all instructions exactly as given and double-check everything — food portions, gates, doors, medications, and routines. Walks are always controlled and secure with a proper harness, no off-leash interactions, and an awareness of triggers or sensitivities. I avoid busy streets and choose safe, comfortable routes. Inside your home, I keep the environment clean and consistent, ensuring your pet has fresh water, comfort items, and a calm space. I lock up, turn off lights, and follow your house rules with full respect. Every visit includes clear communication and photos so you feel confident your pet is safe and well-cared for.
About: I’m a 29 year old man from nyc and I want to keep myself busy. I currently am taking care of my elderly grandmother and am living with her at the moment. We live in a nice quiet area of the East Bronx. I have my own car but I’m more than comfortable taking public transportation anywhere. I’m willing to go anywhere in the Bronx, Manhattan, or Lower Westchester. I’m very responsible and take anything I get trusted to do seriously. Have lived with dogs in the past. Right now my schedule is pretty wide open due to layoffs at my last company. Happy you be of service at any time of the day. I have an extra room in a nice workable neighborhood called Woodlawn which is perfect for dogs. There’s parks nearby and it’s overall very quiet.
About: Hi! I’m [Your Name], a passionate dog lover and dedicated pet care professional. With years of hands-on experience walking and caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I treat every pup like they’re my own. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long adventure walk, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to make sure your furry friend is happy, healthy, and safe. Reliability, communication, and genuine care are at the heart of everything I do. Let me give your dog the love and exercise they deserve — tails will wag, I promise! On an average I run 4-6 miles daily. As a digital artist who works from home I tend to find myself with a lot of energy left and lots of times I would rather spend with animals and being active at that. As a husky owner and a dog that needs lots of attention and walks, my dog is my best friend. He runs with me a lot, and I care for my dog as well as my other pets very attentive, extremely nurturing (it’s a habit), and with so much play time.
About: I've always had pets in my life, and caring for them has never felt like a job—it's something I truly love. Whether it's going on walks, giving belly rubs, or just spending quiet time together, I enjoy every moment. I believe animals have a special way of showing love, and it's incredibly rewarding to give that love right back. Your pets will be treated like family, with all the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I love getting outside after work and on weekends, and I’d be happy to bring your pet along for walks or runs. Whether it’s a relaxing stroll or some high-energy playtime, I enjoy spending that time outdoors and making sure your pet gets the fresh air, exercise, and attention they need. I believe caring for pets is about more than just feeding and walking—it's about building a trusting relationship with both the pet and their owner. I take the time to get to know each animal’s personality and needs, always prioritizing their safety, comfort, and well-being. You can count on me to treat your pet like my own, with dependable care and plenty of love every step of the way.

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.
“It’s official Alessandra is officially family. Her love and care for my fur babies and home is impeccable. I absolutely love her. Very trustworthy. I would book her a million times over.”

About: I love animals - I have taken care of kittens, old dogs, and everything in between. Having grown up with dogs and cats all my life in Western Massachusetts, I am used to a pet friendly environment and used to treating animals like they’re apart of your family. I work from home in finance with a lot of time to spare! I can provide them a lot of attention and walk them as many times as needed. I try to make each day special for them when they’re in my care. I love to introduce myself and try to get pets to warm up to me while playing. Treats sometimes help depending on the owner’s preference. If they’re in a new environment, I would give them a quick tour and provide them with a place to lie down. After developing trust, a quick walk and some food should solidify that further.
About: Hi I’m Tyshawn, I have a lot of experience with animals. I’ve had pets since I was young and I’ve helped take care of them. I have a 13 year old Morkie named Rocky that I love so dearly. I will treat your baby with so much love and affection as if they were mine. I will take your baby out for a walk 3 times a day like I take mine. I will stick to your routine if you have one. I believe that communication is key. I follow all instructions and I will keep you updated at all times. I also have a flexible schedule during the week and weekend. I live close to parks so your baby will have space to play. Does your dog take any medicine or have any allergies? Does your dog get along with other dogs? Does your dog have behavioral problems that I need to be aware about? Does your dog get scared easily?
About: I owned two dogs up until the age of 16 and loved them dearly. I often took my dogs out for long walks and played with them to make sure they were always active & engaged. Since then, I’ve dog/cat sat for numerous friends and neighbors throughout and post college. I always treat others’ animals with the same love and care as I did with my own! I currently work from home, so I have the flexibility to walk or play with your dog before 9am or in the afternoon and evenings if needed! Unfortunately I am unable to host at this time due to my resistance not allowing dogs, but I am available to dog sit in your home! I will ensure the comfort and safety of your dog at all times in a clean environment and can provide any specific additional/necessary support needed!
“Angelique was amazing! She took great care of our cat while we were away, and sent a lot of pictures and updates during her drop-in visits with him. She's reliable and friendly and we'll definitely book with her again.”

Woodlawn-Nordwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kristine did a great job taking care of our three cats over the Thanksgiving holiday. We came home to very happy, relaxed cats! She followed all of our instructions and she sent helpful notes and great pics for each drop-in visit. We would definitely hire her again!

Albena was such a joy to work with. She accommodated me last minute for the holiday weekend and was very warm: her place is spacious with lots of places for kitties to run around and explore. She sent me daily updates and pictures of my baby which gave me comfort while away. I would definitely book again.

I feel that having Jennifer as a pet sitter is like giving our cat a treat! Jennifer gives our cat love and care and keeps our cats routine for us and this allows us to travel with a smile and confidence. It is so important to hire a pet sitter when one travels even if it is only a few days. Jennifer is the very best!
Kamryn is amazing! My puppy is very shy around new people but by day 2 he was jumping on her and kissing her. She keeps me updated on everything and gives me of mind to know my puppy is in good hands when I’m at work! I wish I could give more than 5 stars because she’s just great!

Estephania was absolutely fantastic, very detailed, caring, great communication! We have a zoo, 7 cats, 2 dogs, 2 turtles, 1 bird and three fish tanks. She took care of all our babies with care, kept them company and gently spoke to them and they loved it. We felt absolutely relieved while we were in vacation that our babies were in great hands with Estephania. We can’t thank her enough for the great care and service she provided for us. I highly recommend her!
