About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for all kinds of breeds, from tiny Chihuahuas to giant Newfoundlands, and have experience with puppies as young as 3 weeks old as well as senior dogs up to 14 years old. I’m comfortable with dogs of all temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, learning basic commands, or prefers a slower pace, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I have experience with basic training and enjoy helping reinforce good habits and routines in a positive way. Every dog has their own personality, so I like to take the time to get to know what makes them feel coming. My goal is to provide dependable care while giving pet parents peace of mind. At the end of the day, our pets are family, and I’ll treat yours like they’re part of mine. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, having pets myself, and I make it a priority to be dependable and punctual. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to maintain their normal schedule, whether that means walks, feeding times, play sessions, or drop in visits. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, making pet care something I genuinely look forward to each day. Safety is a top priority for me, especially during walks. I take the time to properly understand each pet’s behavior, triggers, and comfort level before heading out, and I stay attentive to their surroundings at all times to ensure they are secure and well managed. I like to follow key safety precautions like using properly fitted leashes and harnesses, avoiding high-traffic or overstimulating areas when needed, checking gates and doors carefully, and always keeping a secure hold on pets when entering or exiting spaces. I also focus on building trust with each pet by moving at their pace, using calm and consistent body language, and allowing them to become comfortable with me before expecting too much interaction. I pay attention to their signals and respect their boundaries, which helps create a sense of safety and reliability. Over time, this helps pets feel more at ease with me, making walks and in home care smoother and more comfortable for them.

About: Aside from my 3 personal pets, I have raised 4 Seeing Eye dogs and pet sat for over a dozen families. I have experience in dog first aid, potty training, and reactive dogs. Socialization is important and I have the knowledge on how to do so safely for each individual dog. All breeds of dogs are welcome. I work from home and am available 24/7. I love being able to take the dogs on either long walks or a quick potty break. I have a fenced in yard and a crate available for any size dog. I am aware of dog safe foods and carry Benadryl and hydrogen peroxide for emergencies.

“Arielle is incredible! Timely, fun, responsive, and caring. Made me feel so confident and comfortable leaving my pup w/ her!”

“Jackie is awesome!! She asked questions ahead of time to make sure our dog Pablo would be comfortable and she took him for a long walk. Pablo clearly loves her and felt comfortable with her which is all I can ask! We will 100% use Jackie again!!!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from 4-month-old puppies to seniors up to 16 years old. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs and have experience caring for a blind dog who needed medication and close monitoring, so I understand how important patience and attention to detail are. I grew up with a Great Dane, Chow, and Yorkie, which made me comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I try to stick closely to each dog’s routine so they feel safe and at ease. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule for walks and drop-ins and can be reliable with timing. I’ll also keep you updated so you know your pet is in good hands. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to stay consistent with timing and adjust to your pet’s usual schedule. I live in an HOA community in a quiet, low-traffic neighborhood that’s great for calm and safe walks. For drop-in visits and walks, I prioritize safety by following all owner instructions closely and keeping pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m mindful of leashes, doors, and surroundings at all times, and I provide consistent updates so you know how everything is going.

“Thank you Michelle. You helped Dunkin burn up his energy, even on this rainy day. I really, really appreciate it! Dunkin was pretty happy too.”

About: I have had pets since I was 4 years old! I love having pets in my home and making them a part of my family. My dog loves every dog she has ever met and loves to have a playmate! If you bring your pet to my house they will be treated like one of my family members! I work full time Monday-Friday 7:30-4, but my husband works from home and I am home all day during the weekends. My husband also loves dogs and has plenty of free time during his work day to take walks and give lots of love! I have a fenced in back yard with lots of room for running. We are on a cul de sac so there is very little traffic in my part of the neighborhood. My home also has several baby gates to make sure that your pet is safe if I have to leave them in the house for a short amount of time.

About: I am home full time in June and the first week of July and I am very flexible with hours/days. If you need a consistent dog sitter/walker I would be glad to make a set schedule for any given week. I have owned dogs, currently two golden retriever brothers, and have taken care of other dogs for over 10 years now. Doesn’t matter what size or if they even have a difficult personality, I’m great with all dogs and adjust well!

About: Before joing Rover, I cared for my neighbor's dog twice when I was 18 years old for a week. I also looked after my family friend's dog for a week. They both have relied on me to take and look after their dogs. I was responsible for walking, feeding, and playing with their dogs. I also looked after one of my friend's Guinea Pigs for a weekend. I have been doing Rover for 2 years now, I have taken care of all types of dogs and even taken care of a cat! Each time, I make sure to read the instructions that owners leave for me so I can take care of their furry friend as best as I can while they are away. I have accepted a fill time job, Monday-Friday job. I will be working from 9-5:30 each day, I will have the weekends off. I will be communicating this to pet owners who reach out when looking for a pet sitter. I have one friendly dog I care for when my parents are away. I make sure to take him for walks and have playing sessions. I feed my dog at the same time every day and provide him with the medication he needs.

“Morgan was great! Prompt and Maysie loved her!!!! Thank you.”

About: Hello, my name is Alie and my #1 passion is animals! In search of my calling in life, I have found myself working for a pet grooming salon in my hometown, Milton, NY! I spend my days Tuesday-Saturday bathing and grooming neighborhood dogs then go home to love on my own German Shepard/Belgian Malinois mix and Tabby cat! My weekends are filled with time spent with my family (pets are family!) and my pet sitting clients. I have spent my whole life around dogs and cats, helping to fulfill all of their needs, and have been formally pet-sitting for the public since 2021. Since I was about 12 years old, I have gained experience caring for dogs for friends and family, providing basic care such as feeding and potty breaks. As I grew, my experience expanded to include transportation to and from the vet and groomer, feeding, oral medication administration, ear drops/ointment, eye drops, walking, and (the best part of course) playing! My experience also includes my feline friends, most often multi-cat homes, for regular feeding, oral medication administration, ear ointment, litter box cleaning, and, you guessed it, playing! I currently work at a grooming salon in Milton Tuesday-Saturday, so on those days I am available to love on your pets in the morning before I go to work and in the evening! On Sundays and Mondays, I can come for a visit during the mid-day hours. All of my clients are the highlight of my work-day, I look forward to every visit so you can trust me to be there when you need me! Your pets safety and comfort are of the utmost importance to me, I take any time necessary to ensure your pet's comfortable with me being inside their home, even if I exceed the typical 30m or 60m visit length! Working at a grooming salon, I have honed my skills with dog body language so I know when your pups are upset. My experience with cats has also taught me when the kitties aren't happy as well! Meet & Greets are a necessary part of the booking process to ensure everyone's safety over the course of a booking. All bookings that include a dog are required to have a one-time complimentary Meet & Greet prior to booking. Dogs are careful about the humans they trust, espcially with their parents gone, so I'd like to make friends with you present! Other bookings that only include cats are not required to have a Meet & Greet prior to booking but you are more than welcome to request one! Any additional Meet & Greets that are requested beyond the initial complimentary Meet & Greet will be booked at the drop-in rate listed on my profile. At the first visit, slow and quiet are the name of the game, I take my time going about their routine so they can get used to me! After my tasks are done, it's my goal to make them as comfy as possible by offering them their favorite toys and treats at their own pace. By the end of the booking, my aim is to be your pets new best friend and your go-to sitter!
