About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and bring over five years of dedicated walking and sitting experience to the table. As a distance runner who loves training for races, I am a fantastic match for high-energy breeds that need to burn off steam with long, active routes. I am highly reliable, communicative, and dedicated to keeping your pup safe, exercised, and happy! I work a hybrid 9-5 job, but I am remote on Mondays and Fridays, and my hours are very flexible, so most days I don't leave for the office until 9:30 or I come home early around 3:30! I love taking my dogs out on walks in the morning when it is nice and cool outside to avoid the heat, as well as letting them out to play with me in the backyard so that they can stretch their legs. I love to give them extra pets and treats as a small reward for their physical activities.
About: I’ve help my friends taken care of different types of dogs when they are away. I understand dogs can feel anxious when their owners are gone, so I give them calm, consistent companionship. I’m working full time from Monday to Friday with every Friday work remotely. More availability from Friday to Sunday.My boyfriend works 100% remotely and he can help me too. I love spend time with furry friends. I care for each pet based on their individual personality, routine, and needs. In a client’s home, I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication if needed, and any other parts of their normal routine. I know many cats feel most comfortable when things stay familiar, so I’ll give them space when they want it and plenty of attention when they’re ready for it. I’ll also keep their environment clean and secure and send regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Absolutely excellent care giver to my kitties. She was able to take my request for visits short notice and went above and beyond caring for my pets. Would 100% request Charlotte again!”
“Nicolle is absolutely amazing. She always takes such great care of our pets (Juno and Maisie). Juno does extremely great with her and even shy Maisie warmed up to her super quick! Whenever I go out of town, we always go to Nicolle first!”
“I needed a dog walker somewhat last minute (with 2 days’ notice), and Andrea answered my request super promptly! She even came out for a meet and greet the same day, which made me feel more comfortable leaving my dog in her care. Andrea sent lots of adorable photos of my pup Levi on his walk. She also kept an eye on him so he wouldn’t itch his incision site, since he’d been neutered about 2 weeks prior. Andrea did a superb job watching my high energy dog. I appreciated her love of herders, and would 100% book her again!”
“Meredith is highly responsible, and has successfully taken care of my cat who has become quite sassy (and hissy) toward pet sitters. I am so grateful that she has been able to work with us, even though I know her visits to see Luna are not easy. You're my hero Meredith!”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, giving pets attention and affection, and following each owner’s specific instructions. I’m responsible, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own.

I’ll also send you updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
“Benjamin (August) was very responsible with taking care of my cats for a few days while i was out of town. He was prompt and sent lots of pictures of the cats, who were a little shy around a new comer. I would highly recommend him for your petsitting needs.”
“Delaina was a fantastic sitter. She gave detailed updates, followed care instructions closely, and I could tell that she and my pet got along very well. She gave me great peace of mind, and I wouldn't hesitate working with her again, knowing that my pet would be in good hands.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and empathy I have for both cats and their owners. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to know that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away.

I enjoy spending quality time with each cat, respecting their personality and making sure they feel loved, secure, and cared for.

“I highly recommend Marina! She’s timely, attentive and it’s been so easy communicate my dog’s needs with her. She sends me pictures after every visit and she lets me know right way if there are any issues. I’ll centrally ask for her services again!”
“I’m a return client and thankful every time Megan is available. I have no complaints. She’s consistent, provides great notes and photos and my cats are always fine when we get home.”

“Annika is always so sweet and amazing with Brooklyn!! 🥹💕 She’s been watching her since she was only 8 weeks old and now she’s almost 17 weeks, so I love that she’s been there since the beginning and has gotten to watch her grow! She always has great communication and sends me the cutest pictures and updates. I also really appreciate that she reinforces the things I’m teaching Brooklyn like her commands, sit, her name, etc. She actually takes the time to engage with her and work with her which means so much to me. I always know my baby is in good hands with Annika! 💕🐶”
About: I’m a clean freak and pay very close attention to detail, so more needy dogs are up my ally! I have a high-need and reactive dog myself, so I have experience with a variety of pet care scenarios. If your dog just needs some extra attention, that’s great too! I work remotely from home, so I can pop in and out when needed. I’m more flexible in the morning to early afternoons since I make my own schedule. I’m working part-time pet care, but am adaptable to your needs. I highly value instruction and communication, as I understand our pups are our babies. I will show your home and your pup all the love they deserve. I’m careful and cautious, so I will always make sure your home and your pup are safe.

“Mary went above and beyond for caring for my three cats. I had booked four visits for my cats. Unfortunately, there was a serious issue in my apartment building during that time. Residents and their pets needed to be evacuated. Mary ended up having to bring my cats to a boarding facility. She put them all in their crates, walked up and down eight flights of stairs in my building, put them in her car, drove them, and then admitted them to the chosen boarding facility. Through it all, Mary maintained constant communication and care regarding the well being of my cats. I would highly recommend Mary as a petsitter for your pets!! I don't know what I would have done without her help. Thank you, again, Mary!! 💗💗💗”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Adelphi
Baylin was great, Rolo is a very anxious and took some time to warm up to Baylin, Baylinn was calm and patient and Rolo eventually warmed up to him and the drop in went well, Roscoe loved Baylin and was happy to be pet the whole time, we will definitely be using Baylin again.
Another wonderful experience!! From the updates, great communication, and photos all through the entire drop in visit.. I love not only hearing but seeing my pup is having a good time and happy when I am away it warms my heart and just puts me at ease all around knowing she is getting the love and care she deserves when I'm away. I can't thank you guys enough for the services you provide to our loved animals!
Trish does the hero job of locating all the balls that my girl plays with and sometimes “forgets” to bring back. She’ll also do sweet things like crumble up and cookie treat and toss it in L’s box 📦 . Our dog loves fetch and cardboard. 🤷♀️ We are very happy with Trish time. 🙌🏽
We needed a last minute sitter for a couple drop in’s. I feel so lucky we found Maura! Her demeanor is so calm and kind. Our dogs easily took to her! You can tell she has a genuine love for animals. It’s hard to trust anyone with our pups (they are literally our children!), but I would use Maura again easily! Thanks for the great care!
Madeleine was an awesome drop-in pet sitter for my parrot! She tried very hard to befriend my scared parrot, and left her nuts as treats. Communication was awesome, with Madeleine sending daily pictures and special collages she had created. I’ll definitely use her again.
Lily took great care of my dog! She arrived on time, communicated well throughout the visit, and was very flexible and accommodating when I made a mistake with my booking. I really appreciated her understanding and felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. Overall, I was very happy with the experience and would definitely book with her again!
Kacy is exceptional. She is just the right person we were looking for to take care of our dog to the same level we take care of him. It’s was very apparent the first time she met our dog that she truly loves dogs and understands their language. We’ve had nothing but great experiences with Kacy.
