About: When I was a child my family owned and cared for dogs, horses, bunnies, and chickens which meant I became an animal caretaker at a very young age. In addition to helping to feed, groom, and clean up after our pets, I was aIso responsible for administering our dog’s daily diabetes insulin. My childhood prepared me well for becoming a dog mom to a longhaired dapple Dachshund in early 2021. I cannot imagine my life without him and cannot wait for your furbaby to become his furbuddy! I'm also the proud owner of Boogs & Boop, a small business specializing in pet accessories, with a portion of proceeds donated to supporting animal shelters and dogs in need. This commitment reflects my deep passion for caring for dogs and their well being. I work full time from home, so Dog Mom is my 24/7 job title. I am conveniently located near a park so go on at least two walks a day, weather permitting. PLEASE NOTE: 1. Daycare refers to drop off between 8-9am and 5-6pm, a 8-hour period. 2. Pick-up and drop-off times for Daycare must be scheduled in advance through direct message. 2. Late arrivals of more than 30 minutes will be charged an additional $5 per 30 minutes that you are late. Late arrivals risk interfering with other appointments, so this fee helps to accommodate that change. 3. Drop offs before 8am are subject to an Early Drop-off Fee of $10 per hour. 4. Pick up after 6pm are subject to a Late Pick-up Fee of $10 per hour. 5. Pick up after 9pm is considered boarding which is subject to double my Daycare rate. I care for pets in my home since I also have my furbaby to attend to. This means there’s always healthy treats, pee pads, dog wipes, and pet first aid products on hand. I understand that being away from your furbaby can be nerve-wracking, but you can rest assured that I will provide clear communication and photo updates when your pet is in my care. I do not have an attached yard, but the park is a hop, skip, and a jump away, so it’s easy to take potty breaks whenever necessary. PLEASE NOTE: 1. Please arrive with your pet on a leash. I am a strong advocate for pet safety and leash laws. 2. Due to Covid-19 precautions, I do not allow guests into my home, but would be happy to meet you downstairs at drop-off and pick-up times. 3. I will ALWAYS send photos throughout the appointment, even if not directly requested. INCLEMENT WEATHER DISCLAIMER: I take all weather advisories seriously. When the heat index is above 90°F degrees or windchill is below 20°F walks will be cut short for your pet's safety and for my own. Walks will consist of “doing their business” then returning indoors. Regular service is maintained in the rain, but will be postponed due to thunder and lightning. Walks may be early or delayed depending on the forecast. I will always communicate with dog owners if a change of plan is necessary due to dangerous weather and temperatures. Thank you for your understanding.
“Kevin is great with my pup! He’s very flexible and open to working with my dog’s very particular walking needs. Overall a wonderful person to care for your pet.”
“Our pup Hamish loves Megan and so do we! I trust her completely, she asks detailed questions about his routine and I could tell from our first meet and greet that she would take excellent care of my pup <3”
About: I have cared for and loved annimals all my life. Growing up we had three 3 cats who I took care of everyday. My mom and I also took it upon ourselves to care for the neighborhood strays. When I wasn’t at home with my cats I was at my grandmas walking her Chihuahua— Jaws. I have experience with animals from the age of puppy to Senior. I am a freelance filmmaker so my schedule is very flexible. I am available during the week at times where many others would be at work. I have many weekends available as well. I plan to take care of your furry friend with lots of love and care and most importantly safety. I will play with your puppy or kitty and give them a lot of enrichment time.
About: I've been around dogs since I was a baby. Everyone in my family has had multiple dogs throughout my life, including me. I have experience walking, feeding and taking overall care of all dogs in my family. I'm currently unemployed and looking for a job at a Vet clinic to get more experience in the field! I will be attending school to become a Vet Tech in the spring. I do have a puppy of my own that I need to take time out of the day to be with but I am readily available most of the time and can do multiple drop-ins / walks throughout the day. I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby safe. I can also crate your dog or section off a part of the house for them if needed :)
“Melissa has been great with my dog Maggie. She came early to meet her and was patient as it takes a couple of visits before she warms up. She gave me lots of updates and was open to playing, puzzles etc. I’ve already booked more walks with Melissa 😊”
“Sami was very sweet and patient with our dogs while we were on vacation. By the end the dog had warmed up to him, which was such a relief. Thank you Sami for your patience!!! We really appreciate it.”
About: I’m good at maintaining pet’s environment/litter clean, rewarding good behavior, playing with different toys, and understanding their needs. I’m energetic with outgoing and affectionate pets while giving space and being patient with more shy ones. I’m a recent grad looking for new job opportunities. While I navigate this process I have plenty of time, including early mornings and weekends, to help out with your pets. I’m not currently available to bring your pets home with me. However, I’m happy to spend time with them at your home for multiple hours.
About: Hi! I love dogs! I’ve had my dog ever since I was 10, he’s the family favorite. I’m great at taking care of dogs & also training! I’ve watched many family & friends dogs many times before ( & watered the plants )! I’m very respectful of peoples homes & would love to come hang with your dog(s)🥰 I am a college student! I love animals and I’m looking to make some extra money so I figured this would be perfect for me! I am available for house sitting, drop ins and dog walking:) Im very flexible & will make whatever work if needed! I appreciate the opportunity! I’m willing to follow any regular routine! Walks, hanging out in the backyard, making sure the dog is fed & played with! My dog is very loved & gets all the attention in the world!
About: I am very experience with dogs. I've had dogs since I was a child of all sizes and breeds. I took care of several dogs while I was a teenager incuding a german sheppard, golden retriever, jack russel terrier and border collie. I also have two dogs right now that I am responsible for whenever my parents leave for vacation. A pitbull lab mix and a jack russel mix. I've also cared for dogs across several age levels from puppy to 15 years of age. I've grown up around animals and fairly experience. I am also currently a worker at Petco so have experience with many dogs and what items meet their needs. Based upon all of these factors I believe I would be an excellent sitter and walker. I currently WFH M/W/F so I can seamlessly integrate a dog walk or cat check in on those days. I also am an avid runner so I can take super long walks with dogs I first introduce myself slowly by getting on the same level as the pet or sectioning them off into a part of my apartment so the animal can adjust to its new settings or to me. I then enjoy initiating play! I’ll usually then feed and check the water bowl prior to a long walk or long play session.
“Enrique is AMAZING. He is so kind and communicative. My pup instantly took to him during the meet and greet. I highly recommend him for anyone with active dogs. Enrique made sure my pup was exercised thoroughly and sent lots of pics and videos.”

Well, I am passionate about interacting with pets and filled with joy every day knowing that my pets make me feel good.my disposition is in your hands Good with stimulation exercises and dynamic activities so that my pet is the happiest and most loving in the pharmacy and home and give it love
About: I have always been an animal lover and had hamsters, lizards, fishes, rabbits growing up so this is not work for me at all! I am very empathetic and pretty good on reading other dogs (and their body langauge) to see if they are happy, scared, protective, or not feeling well. My dogs sleep on the bed (sometimes not my lab cause she likes to hog up all the space). Taking care of your fur baby fits perfectly into my schedule 24/7 as I am very unemployed. I literally have nothing else to do but to play and take care of them. Me and my family am home all of the time so your baby will never be alone. My fur babies like others that have moderate to low energy. But I also have a separate floor where they will stay. I'll take care of your fur baby the same I take care of mine! (If okay) Regular treats through out the day which may include chimken, catnip, whip creams, bacon (beggin) strips. My place is cozy and very clean with some hiding spots for the anxious scared ones. Cant forget about the butt wipes and paw washings. I go to the park often so I can take your pup if you would like!
About: Being full-time in the pet industry for over five years, I have gained the knowledge and education on how to handle anxious, reactive, and strong pullers to ensure they are in the best hands at all times! Available full time, 7 days a week! Mornings, afternoons, and nights. Let me know what time works for you, and I’ll make it happen! 🐾 I treat all of my client’s homes as if it were my own. All animals get one on one attention and are in the best hands possible!
Bensonhurst dog parents share their Rover experiences
Christopher was very professional, very knowledgeable, and very communicative. He came over to meet our dog before the first walk to get familiar with her and to ask questions about how we typically handle her. He was extremely kind and came across as experienced and highly competent with dogs. Would definitely recommend his services to others!
Lindsay was absolutely wonderful. Was communicative and flexible to make some walks work while I was out of town. She was professional and gracious, provided detailed reports and pictures, and overall I would recommend her with no hesitation and use her again. Thanks, Lindsay!
Melissa was great to work with and took wonderful care of my dog, Murray, while he was staying at my parents’ house. My parents are older, so having someone responsible and dependable gave me real peace of mind while I was away. She handled both morning and evening walks and communicated clearly throughout. Melissa was professional, kind, and genuinely caring. I always knew Murray was in good hands, and I’m so glad we connected. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker.
I have used Amanda on many different occasions and she is always extremely professional, responsible, friendly, trustworthy, and of course, is great with my dog! She is very accommodating when I have last minute requests and I’m very happy and grateful for her excellent service and care!
Kadeisha is a lifesaver! We needed help last minute with our babies and usually have them in boarding, but never again - Kadeisha is our go-to from now on. She not only braved extreme cold weather without complaint, but our dogs loved her immediately. Our dogs are skittish of humans because of their past, but they felt comfortable with her right away. AND the pictures she takes are another level - our dogs look like models! 🤣 We can't wait to use her for boarding and daycare going forward.
