“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!”
“Shelly has been checking on my doggie, few times per week on regular basis, for the past few weeks. She is very kind, caring, reliable and on time... My puppy has had some GI issues couple of times during this time and Shelly has been very caring for her. My little pooch luvs Shelly so much! she looks at the door, excited, looking for Shelly when ever I mention Shelly’s name! I’ve been feeling really at ease and peaceful, when I know she is coming to check on my doggie. Thank you very much Shelly :)”

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!😊🐾
“Nicole was great with my cat and very communicative with me! I had never used Rover before, and Nicole put me totally at ease. I would definitely ask Nicole to cat sit for me again!”

“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: My experience includes sitting and dog-walking at Superstar Pet Sitting for two years. I also used to work at the Long Island Aquarium, where I learned how to train various mammals, like seals. I'm very used to being around animals at this point. I'm on my summer break right now from grad school, and I could very much use the money. Pet-sitting is something I've always enjoyed so I have lots of time to play with dogs and cats! I've been to many client's homes before so if you feel the most comfortable leaving your pup at home, I will be there to help out.

About: I have 5 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive with feeding, walks, playtime, and basic care. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like my own. I currently have full time availability to be able to pet sit while also help with any and all of your pet needs. . . I’m reliable, patient, and attentive with feeding, walks, playtime, and basic care. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like my own.
“Fallon was a wonderful sitter. She took great care of our cat and sent us pictures of her while we were away. She was very considerate and communicative, from our initial conversations through the end of the booking. We would definitely ask her to sit for us again in a heartbeat.”

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.
“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: 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.
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 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.
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.
Woodlawn-Nordwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
I cannot recommend our cat sitter highly enough! She took such amazing care of our cats while we were away and went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she make sure our cat was comfortable and monitored closely, but she also cleaned up all the messes without complaint and kept us updated throughout the entire time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and capable hands. She was reliable, attentive, communicative, and genuinely treated our cats as if they were her own. It’s not easy dealing with unexpected pet health issues, but she handled everything with kindness and dedication. We came home to happy cats and a clean home, and we are so grateful for her help.

I would give Stephanie 10 stars if I could. She is incredibly sweet, thorough, and communicative. She leaves detailed cards about your pet’s visits and lots of pictures! She’s very good about the times of her visits and goes the extra mile. My kitty got a little sick from the stress and she took her to the vet twice for me and administered medications! I truly could not have asked for a better sitter.

Jennifer took excellent care of our cat while we were away on vacation. He is an older cat who takes multiple medications every day, which Jennifer took care of with ease. We knew he was in great hands, which brought us peace of mind while we were away. I’d recommend Jennifer’s services to anyone and everyone!

Angelique was amazing with our two cats! She provided excellent updates with a lot of photos and she took time to make sure and spend time with each of them. She has a real connection to cats and you could tell right away at the meet and greet. We definitely recommend her and look forward to booking her again!

Marin went above and beyond taking care of Wyatt while I had two back to back days out of town. She was super accommodating of my last minute request, found time to do a meet and greet so I was comfortable, and went the extra mile to meet Wyatt’s needs. He’s an anxious boy still getting used to the city and Marin gave me thorough updates, cleaned up after his messes, and followed my instructions to a T. I really hope Marin becomes our go-to when I need someone to check in on him in the future.

Wow, I just realized it’s been a full year of Kristal coming 1-2 times weekly (most weeks) for a midday bathroom & play break for my two German Shepherd boys. This second review is long overdue. My boys love their time with Kristal! Kristal is the kind of Rover sitter you always hope to find - super responsive and communicative, flexible, accommodating, reliable, consistent, and a genuinely kind and good person who loves animals. Above that she has a beautiful friendship with my boys and makes sure her time with them is spent giving them the most fun, enriching and happy midday breaks. Her reports are always thorough, sweet/funny, and show how intentional she is when caring for the boys. Her pictures are awesome, she’s a very talented animal photographer and I now have a whole plethora of the cutest images of my fur babies. Such a gift! Having Kristal as part of our routine has been a blessing.
