“Sarah was wonderful and very responsible sitting our pup while we were abroad. She asked to meet Indigo beforehand, which was great for all involved. She knows the DC area well and was responsive to our communications. Highly recommend!”

“Vincent took great care of our dogs, staying with them in our home at night while we were away. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable and professional dog sitter.”

“Kara was amazing with our babies. I had not ever left them alone with anyone except family but they loved her! She kept me updated throughout my trip on how they were doing and sending photos. I would highly recommend her!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to care for their animals. I used to live with a golden retriever that I cared deeply about. We loved to go on walks together. I started Rover around 2020 in Arizona but have now moved to New York for residency and would like to continue Rover during my down time. I enjoy helping people and animals. My schedule is busy but opening up as I progress in my residency! I love to de-stress with animals and exercise with them. I believe animals love me too. I follow directions well and will care for your animals the way they are comfortable and are used to. I know how important it is to gain their trust and ease myself into their home. I am trust worthy and will provide updates daily.
“Jesse did an overnight pet sitting service for our 2 1/2 yr old doberman, while my husband and I went out of town. We recommend Jesse's services! Our dog Zeus quickly took to him, and he was dependable and attentive to our dog needs, and we will definitely request his services again.”

About: I’ve taken care of my friends’ cats in their apartment when I used to live with them. I would feed them and give them lots of snuggles and pets. I especially have experience looking after cats that have an anxious attachment issue and deal with this by offering them frequent pets and attention. Although I only have experience with cats right now, I am enthusiastic and look forward to attune my skills and increase my knowledge about dog behavior and care to look after and protect dogs and puppies. I’m currently not working so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for drop-in visits, house sittings, and dog walks on weekdays and Saturdays after 1 pm. I also offer these services on some holidays. During drop-in visits and house sitting appointments I will be more than happy to feed your dogs, give them water and refill their bowls if needed. Your dogs would never be bored because I would love to play with them and keep them in good company. I can leash your dog for walks in the park or in the neighborhood and give them treats to reward good behavior and keep them motivated. Your dogs’ safety, comfort, and well being is my top priority and I will make sure to pay attention to their needs.

I've owned a doberman names Zeus, a jack russel/pug Tommy Lee, a chihuahua/dauschund named Marta, and Sammy who is a chihuahua/pug/boston terrier/dauschund. I'd love to stop in an check on/or let out your pets, or stop by for walks:) I have wide open availability, day and night! I am a stay at home mom with two kids in school. Looking to make some extra money. I am a stay at home mom so your animals would not be alone at all! I love all animals! Happy to help and love on yours while you're away!
About: I am highly experienced with leash walking and keeping animals take during walks. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets while away on vacation or far from home! I have been the one people go to for pet sitting emergencies! I’m am home from work for the next two months so I am available anytime. Once I start back I can be available afternoons after 4pm for any needs! I live in a very rural area, which has not needed a fence or any other form of protection. In the past my family has used long leashes to let the animals explore as we walk. I am good with walking on leash, with a harness or any type of collar.
About: I am not in a hurry to leave your pet alone. I am taking care of your animal because I love this job. So I will do the job as well as I can, because I love being given the opportunity to be around your pets. I currently dedicate nearly all of my free time to the care of pets. I love that this service exists because it fills up my spirit I’m a very conscientious person who understands the need to keep all dangerous products and liquids out of reach of any pet. My home has plenty of space and I have a runout in my backyard
About: I've had experience with an assortment of animals for a large part of my life. I volunteered an animal shelter in Scottsville, NY for about two years walking dogs of every size and taking care of cats. I have also housed two large German Shepherds and three Dachshunds, both of which are very demanding breeds. I currently reside in Owego, NY, and I work part-time in Endicott, NY Monday through Wednesday from 8AM to 5PM. I may provide brief surfaces on evenings these days, such as a walk or stop-in. Any other day is fair game. Per the restrictions of my apartment complex, I won't be able to care for or bring pets in my home. However, I would be sure to respect any client's home I may enter.
About: I’ve been around/ raising animals my whole life . I currently own 2 dogs and a Leopard Gecko. I have previous experience working for Keys & Collars down in Florida where i worked full time as a pet sitter before relocating back to NY! I’m currently available any time M-F. Weekends are also pretty flexible as well. I may pick up a part-time job in the future but that still leaves me plenty of time to play with your furbabies! I like to usually ask clients to either meet with me before service so I can see their routine or leave a detailed list. I can crate dogs if owner likes , leash walks are fine, backyard access if client has that available. I will always fill water bowls. Feeding if client wishes so etc…
“Ashleigh stayed at our house and took care of our two dogs over a weekend. Ashleigh was very easy to communicate with, the house was in great shape, and the dogs seemed very happy on our return!”

“Tess was a wonderful sitter for my elderly pup. He is quite on in years, and she was patient with him and his special needs, for that I am thankful. Her training and experience with elderly dogs put my mind at ease while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her as a great dog sitter.”
