“I've gone to Sofia twice now to walk my energetic working dog and each time has been a joy! Finding a walker for the middle of the day can be difficult, but Sofia has been there each time I needed her. Jace is always happier on days she comes by!”

About: My first cat was way back in 1992 when a pregnant cat adopted me. She lived in the apartment next door with 4 other cats, a single Mom and 2 little girls. She would visit my apartment daily, also scoping me out, because she had future plans. Soon after I was the proud Human Step-Mom to Mama cat and her 5 kittens. That started my love for the feline species. I've always owned and loved dogs since my childhood. My first dog's name was Rusty, a smart and gorgeous Golden Retriever. I had tanks full of fish, multiple birds (Peanut could talk-he was a Green Cheek Conure), and often cared for my daughters ferret, Franklin, when she went on vacations. No pets are off limit ..... except snakes and spiders. Willing to administer meds. I do pet care full time so I am available just about 24/7. Winter hours may be different for dog walking as it gets dark early. Contact me to discuss as I can be flexible. I have a dog and cat so care outside my home is preferable. I'm willing to care for one animal in my home if necessary.

“Always reliable, trustworthy and responds back promptly. Thank you Jose for taking Teddy last minute, quick trip to NYC. Best, Victoria & Dennis.”

About: I love animals. Having 4 pets (2 dogs and 2 cats) they are my world and are spoiled more than most. Many of my friends and family have said if anything ever happened to them they would want me to take care of their pets. They just know I want what’s best for every animal I meet and will provide the same love and care I do for my own. I have deep expertise in caring for senior dogs, puppies, and have a strong knowledge in leash reactive dogs. I make sure to dedicate the time that pets need to be happy and cared for. As a pet parent myself, I know how sticking to a routine is so important for both them and us and am here to make your time away as worry free as possible! I am available for housesittings Friday nights-Sunday at 10 am and also holidays. Nick and I work together on drop-ins and are available Thursday-Sundays to hang with your babies! 🐾 Communication about your pets’ needs and routines and behaviors is going to help me best take care of them. Having a clear plan about what our shared expectations are will create a great rover experience. Let’s meet and establish a connection before you go away to ensure your pet’s comfortability with me!

About: Spending time with your dog/s will brighten my day! As a dog owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I am comfortable with all breeds and personalities, and I treat every pet as if they are my own. I will be sure to offer them the same love, attention, and care I would give my own furry companion. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I’m a Special Education Teacher and am available on weekends, school breaks, and during the summer. I am flexible and eager to help your pet I have a fenced in yard and am comfortable crating a dog if suggested by the owner. Safety is a priority for me and I will be sure to make sure you’re pet is secure and safe.

“We couldn’t be happier to have Stephanie caring for Brodie. Finding the right person to walk / care for your pet is hard, we lucked out with Stephanie. We will be using Stephanie again, and if your reading this review, you should to. Thank you Stephanie..”

“Elena was wonderful. She was kind and patient and kind with Emmie who is sometimes challenging to walk since she gets so excited. I would definitely use Elena again if I have a need.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs that were all sizes. Friends and family put their trust in me to watch their beloved pets for years and i’ve delivered love when taking care of them. I’m currently enrolled at SUNY University at Albany which means that I have plenty of time to help you take care of your fuzzy friends. I have a large fenced yard that your pet can run around and play in and I have toys and treats to also keep them happy.

About: I've been a dog lover since childhood and had my own dachshund Charlie for 9 years. I've watched big and small dogs for friends and neighbors, frequented dog parks, and walked dogs through sweltering heat and snow banks. I am a freelance graphic designer hoping to pick up some extra work. My availability is flexible and I can work to accommodate you especially on long term bookings. I have experience working in clients' homes for estate sales and will respect your space and belongings. I will put your pet's safety and health first and look out for anything that may compromise that while under my care.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years, both personally and professionally. As a lifelong dog mom, I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us—they’re family. Beyond daily walks and playtime, I have experience with administering medications, caring for senior pets, and keeping anxious pups calm and comfortable. My background as a registered nurse has made me attentive, reliable, and detail-oriented, which carries over into the way I care for animals. You can trust that your pet will not only be safe with me, but also loved, spoiled, and treated with the same patience and compassion I give my own dogs. I am currently working part time and have availability in my schedule to love and care for your pet. I have pets of my own and would love nothing more than to have clients who are comfortable knowing they will receive care that is above and beyond. I treat all pets like they are my own. I have a fenced in yard where your pet can run and play. I also have spare rooms if they need to be separated for any reason, safety being my main concern.

About: I have actively been taking care of dogs since I was a teenager, and in doing so I have worked with a variety of breeds, sizes, and dog of different ages. My manner of minding focuses on building a connection with the dog while uniquely understanding the breed and the specific needs they may need met. I'm very active and thus great with dogs who are looking to get in shape or have high energy levels. I have experience working with dogs who have been abused or neglected and re-socialising them. My home is large enough for multiple dogs of many sizes to be comfortable in as well as a short walk away from multiple parks. Both mornings as well nights are currently available Monday-Sunday.

About: Friends and family members have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones for as long as I can remember. Our furry friends deserve just as much love and care as we do. I work from home three days out of the week, so I am able to care for pets during the day. I am also incredibly available throughout the weekends and each weeknight. I maintain a consistent daily routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep pets feeling secure and comfortable. I keep clients updated with photos and updates on their pets' well-being, so they can feel confident that their furry friend is in good hands. I create a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for pets to roam, play, and relax. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and free from hazards. Pets receive lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I offer enrichment activities like toys and outdoor walks.

“Kenda was wonderful with Az! Kenda filled in for our regular morning walker for 2 weeks and she was reliable, efficient and kind. Az loved her. She was a real pleasure to work with!”

About: Growing up with a German Shepard, learning what is takes to take care of dogs (especially big ones) has been a mission of mine throughout life. I can play with, check up on, and / or walk your pups any day that is posted on my calendar and I will work my schedule around times that are available for you! I am not expecting to pet sit, however if I were I would make sure the water bowl is full, abide to any eating schedules, make sure the pet is in eye-view and all doors and windows are closed, perhaps go for a walk and out to potty if the client approves. :)

“Emily is incredible! She goes above and beyond sharing photos after walks and giving plenty of exercise. My goldendoodles absolutely adored her when I was on vacation and I was so grateful that she could do mornings walks. I highly recommend Emily when she came to visit before, she was super attentive asked questions, was super knowledgeable already and knew exactly what to do! I will definitely be rebooking with Emily for any future dog needs 😊”
