About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs through helping family, friends, and neighbors with their pets over the years. I’ve provided walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care, and I am comfortable adjusting to each dog’s unique personality, routine, and energy level. I am attentive with senior dogs who may need slower walks, extra comfort, or closer supervision. Because I am home full-time, I am able to give pets consistent attention and quickly notice any changes in behavior, appetite, or mood. I aim to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where dogs feel secure while their owners are away, and I always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos. Because I am home full-time, I can easily integrate pet care into my daily routine. I provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, and supervision throughout the day, and I can adjust to each dog’s schedule and energy level. I prioritize consistency, so dogs can feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I am also flexible for early morning or evening walks, drop-in visits, or boarding , making it easy to accommodate busy pet parents in the Yonkers area. I create a safe, calm, and clean environment for every dog in my care. In my home, dogs have a designated space to relax, play, and rest comfortably. I supervise all interactions and walks closely to ensure their safety at all times. I follow each dog’s individual routine for feeding, potty breaks, and exercise, and I am attentive to their energy levels and behavior to prevent stress or accidents. I also keep a tidy, non-toxic home and make sure all toys, bedding, and common areas are clean and safe. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect, follow all instructions precisely, and keep parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident that their dog is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters for many years because it’s what I love to do. I have a huge heart when it comes to animals, they keep me happy and, make me feel complete whenever they’re in my company. I’m normally free Fridays after work around 2pm, all day Saturdays, and all day Sundays. I am also willing to make some changes if necessary. I do not own any pets at this time and I don’t have any small children in the house. All my attention will be on the pet that’s in my care whether care is taking place at my home or clients home.
About: With over 10 years of pet sitting experience, our home has become a second home for countless furry friends. What started as a fun activity with my young son has grown into a true passion we continue to share. Now a spirited teenager, my son still brings the same energy and love to every pet we care for—ensuring each one gets plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. We live in a private apartment in a family-owned three-family house in Lower Westchester. Our home is clean, spacious, and pet-friendly, with a private deck and a small backyard perfect for fresh air and play. We’re also just a short walk from the beautifully updated Yonkers waterfront, where your pet will enjoy scenic strolls and outdoor fun. You won’t find a more dog-loving duo. Whether your pet is high-energy or prefers laid-back lounging, we’re happy to tailor our care to their unique needs and personality. We truly love what we do—and it shows. Feel free to reach out with any questions. We can’t wait to welcome your pet into our home! Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. Since we’ve been pet sitting for over a decade, we’ve built our schedule around giving pets the attention and care they deserve. Morning and evening walks are part of our daily rhythm, and we make time throughout the day for play, feeding, and cuddle sessions. My teenage son is very involved—he loves helping with walks, playtime, and making sure each pet feels right at home. Whether we have one guest or a few, they’re always integrated into our family life with love and consistency. In our home, pets are treated like family. We provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where they can relax and be themselves. They have access to cozy spaces indoors, a private deck for fresh air, and a small backyard for outdoor time. We stick closely to each pet’s routine—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or special care instructions—to ensure a smooth and stress-free stay. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines. I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure, keeping things as familiar as possible. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to their individual needs while maintaining communication with the owner for peace of mind.
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.

“Colleen is simply the best!! She took care of my cat for 5 days while I was out of state. She was very communicative and let me know each time when she arrived. She also provided a little note and photos each visit which I truly appreciate. I felt so relieved knowing my cat was happy and doing okay! I highly recommend Colleen and I will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“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.”
“She did a wonderful job with our three dogs and checking in on them. She gave us updates the whole time, with a video call, videos, and pictures. She was wonderful, and I would highly recommend her services!”
About: The main factor that sets me apart from other sitters is flexibility. I also have two very friendly dogs of my own, so walking and taking care of dogs is not just a job for me, it is a lifestyle. As mentioned above I have two dogs which I care for daily which includes walks, daily feeding, park time, and treats. I also take care of neighborhood and family dogs on a weekly basis with several recurring clients. I provide a fenced backyard area for the runners, and for those who have training off leash I have additional yard space which is mostly but not fully fenced. In the backyard there are several beds and play areas, along with a plethora of toys. Inside, since we have dogs of our own, the inside of my home is ready for any furry visitors.
“Manny was a great communicator and we returned to find our cats happy. We were away for a week with Manny doing once-a-day visits. He checked in with us regularly and shared photos. Thanks, Manny!”

Yonkers pet parents share their Rover experiences
Isabella H. is a wonderful, conscientious animal carer. As a first-time cat parent, I was overly worried about leaving my cat for only 4 days. I did not have to worry, Ms. H took great care of him. I came home to a playful, well fed, frisky cat who is appears to be pining for her a bit. He is waiting by the door for her to come by still!
Emmanuel is awesome. The buzzer at my building was broken so he stood there until someone let him in- every day during the holidays- while he had five or six other dogs to watch. Above and beyond, and my animals were fed, clean and happy when I got home. I won’t go to anybody else from here on out
