“Justin has been walking our GSD for quite some time now. We would recommend him to anyone! He has been so good to ghost and has really helped him come out of his shell. Ghost has always looked forward to their walks and even gets annoyed with us when he realizes his walk with justin isn’t happening that day when we have had to reschedule lol. Ghost will definitely miss him when we move & we can’t thank him enough for treating him with such care and understanding as ghost was growing up. Thank you for working with our sour patch boy!”


“Debbie has worked with us for about 2 years and has been great with our dog! Our dog started out as a very shy puppy that was scared to be walked down the street and with Debbie’s patients and kindness he now loves to explore on his walks. Debbie is the best dog walker you can find”


About: Hi, I am Becky and I am a lifelong animal lover. I have always had pets in my home since birth. My husband shares my passion for animals and has served as a Vet Tech in the Army. As we have traveled the world, we have watched pets of all ages and sizes. My kids love having furry friends visit and enjoy joining me when walking the dog. So much so, my daughter's first word was "kitten." In our home, we have a beautiful black lab, tortie kitty, and a handful of geckos that live in our backyard. Now that my three children are in school, I would love to assist you with dog walking, cat and dog boarding, and daily check-ins for any of your furry family members.

“Cierra was fantastic with my puppy knuckles! She was on time, very friendly and knuckles warmed up to her very quickly! He enjoyed his first walk with her and can’t wait to see her again!”



“Lynette is great!!! She takes care of my Wiley bear really really good! He is always happy after their walks and play time. I would highly recommend her. She is also very accommodating with any request that I have. I would give 10 start if I could. :)”


“I have nothing but good to say about Haley. She was very professional, punctual and caring of our boy. We loved how detailed her report cards were. It really put us at ease whenever we checked on our dog. Would highly recommend her services.”


About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, fueled by a lifelong passion for animals. Growing up around pets, I understand their unique needs and personalities. Currently, I have four animals two dogs and two cats that I adore and couldn't imagine life without. Caring for my own pets has deepened my understanding and love for animals even further. What sets me apart is my genuine love for all animals and my dedication to their well being. I tailor my care to meet each pet’s specific needs, creating a trusting, loving environment where they feel safe and happy. I am committed to giving your pets the best care possible. I am generally available at all times to accommodate your pet care needs. Summer tends to be my busiest season, as I work part time for a friend, but I am flexible and willing to adjust my schedule to ensure your pets are well cared for. As a stay at home wife, I have plenty of time and attention to devote to your pets. Additionally, I have easy access to Fort Drum, which allows me to accommodate walks or visits in that area if needed. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care that fits smoothly into your routine. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and social environment. With four animals of my own, I ensure that all pets are introduced gradually and that everyone is socialized to promote a positive and harmonious atmosphere. I closely monitor interactions to keep everyone safe and relaxed. I do have a fenced in area for play and exercise, but if walks are needed, I am happy to take your pets out for walks to provide them with additional exercise and mental stimulation. For care in the client's home, I believe in building trust and familiarity first. I would love to do a meet and greet beforehand so we can introduce myself to your pets, ensure they recognize me, and assess their individual needs and comfort levels. This helps create a seamless transition and ensures your pets feel secure and loved while in my care. My top priority is always their safety, trust, and overall well being, whether in my home or yours.

About: I am Erica, a full-time teacher turned dog sitter who can provide flexibility and quality service to you and your pets while you are away! I have over 18 years personal experience with animal care. I have trained puppies, difficult dogs, and have experience administering medication to dogs who need it. Prior to having children, I rescued and trained dogs from Death Row. I am an animal lover of all kinds! I work full time as a teacher, so I am only available outside of school hours. However, I have plenty of flexibility otherwise to fit your needs and your schedule! Summer is my main time to book drop ins, but I am available outside school hours during the school year. I like to stay busy on school breaks as well! At home, I have a partially fenced yard that your dog is welcome to explore. Otherwise, I will leash your dog when it is time to go outside, or if your dog is trained off leash it is your call for me to leave him/her off. I have 2 children who love animals and I have experience with animals of all kinds. I do have a dog. He loves to lay down & be pet! Since I’m a teacher in town, the neighborhood kids love to come over to use the trampoline or throw the football with my son, so there are often kids around.

“Our two wild animals had a great time on their walks with Sabrina. She treated them like they were her own fur babies and it’s such a relief to know that she’s around! We came home to two very happy, clearly well taken care of pups. We are so thankful!”


About: We have three dogs who are more spoiled than our children. We dont like people, but we love animals 🤣. We love walking and playing, and so do our pups! Our babies are spoiled rotten and we can't help it. Our pups have their own doggie pool that they can use any time in the summer. We have tons of toys and one of our favorite things to do is just be home with them and de stress. We sometimes go to the dog park or take walks on the Black River Trail, too! I work as a social worker full time, and my husband is in full time compliance. Due to our work schedules we do require dogs who are able to be left alone (in crate or without) for 4 hours at a time. We can let them out on lunch breaks and provide plenty of play time before and after work. We care for our own fur babies every day, having extra in the house is just an added bonus. Our animals are loved all day long, and we promise to deliver the same to yours. We have a large fully fenced in yard in a rural area, so we have lots of room for running! Our pups go in and out as often as they want. We do allow pets on the furniture, always! We do ask that younger pups are in a crate at night time unless they are exceptionally well behaved, for safety purposes. If your pup shows behavioral issues that make it difficult to maintain safety, such as biting or excessive aggressiveness, we will add on an extra charge to the booking. This is almost never an issue, and we are able to separate dogs as needed. When staying in our home, your pups safety is always our number one priority.

About: I was born with a love of animals. As a small child I had cats. My grandmother got me into show dogs when I was in Elementary school. I helped her care for Schipperke she bred. I've owned a horse, dogs, cats, fish. I've worked on friends farms. My friends rely on me to pet sit for them in their homes when they go on vacation. I'm currently on vacation and open to meet your pets schedules and needs. When I go back to work I will be on call. Scheduling won't be an issue. I prefer to do pet care in your home where your pet feels safe and comfortable. I enjoy walking around the neighborhood or going to the park for a good run.

About: I've grown up my whole life working with animals. I've worked with rehabilitation and have had many animals of my own over the years. I enjoy furry friends and can guarantee love, patience, and care for your fur babies. I will treat them like they are my own! I am currently a stay athome wife while working on school. I make sure to keep you updated if there is a change in my schedule. I love using my breaks to play with my dogs, so adding more pets means more fun! I have a 50x50 fenced in yard. I also have 2 cats that have been around dogs their whole lives. I aim to make sure all animals are safe in our home. Cats are baby gated from our dogs so they can roam.

About: I have had dogs of my own my whole life. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets while they’re away as well. I am trustworthy and will treat your pet as if they were my own. I’m currently a SAHM who cleans houses and pet sits on the side!! I am often available anytime, all days a week. I look forward to meeting your pups! I have 2 very large dogs of my own so I can handle any size dog, I am also a cat lover. My dogs are a bit spoiled and if someone were watching them I would expect them to follow any directions I have left and I would do the same for yours.

“Brianna was absolutely incredible. Very fast to respond to a last minute work emergency and was able to take care of my little guy twice a day for a whole week. On top of that, my unforeseen work emergency was extended a day going into the weekend and did not hesitate to continue her care for Pongo into the weekend. Absolutely will reach out to her again whenever I need care for Pongo.”


About: I’ve been caring for every type of animal you can imagine since I was 10! I’ve done so personally and professionally and I’ve worked on 3 different ranches growing up. I’ve learned a lot and I know there’s a lot more I can learn from this job field and I look forward to it! I’m available before 06 and between 1130-1300 and after 1700 M-F and open availability over the weekend and holidays! We could work something out if you need different availability during the week, just reach out! I am unable to care for pets in my home however, I will follow whatever regimen you leave for your loved one and make sure they’re accounted for and loved!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12, I have lived in owners houses for a week while on vacation. Given daily walks and fed as much as the owners advise. Taken care of family members puppies over weekends and regularly check in and let out family friends animals. I also own a Newfoundland and Irish wolfhound so I am incredibly comfortable with larger breeds! I’ve recently finished my spring semester of college and am home full time, so I am completely available as of right now. All times work with my schedule! I have two large dogs and take each on daily walks and feed twice daily. I also groom them weekly making sure they are comfortable and clean.

“Our experience with Kat was great! So lucky she has base access as we were Staying in our RV at Camp Murreyhe was flexible with our walk request the day prior to our day trip to Seattle.”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, over 20 cats since I could walk and 5 amazing dogs along the way. Right now, I share my home with two wonderful pups: a playful 3 year old black lab and a gentle senior pit bull who just turned 10. Because I’ve cared for pets from kitten and puppy stages through their golden years, I’m experienced with everything from high energy play and training to the extra patience and gentle care seniors need. I understand different personalities, energy levels, and health needs and I love meeting pets where they’re most comfortable. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or quiet companionship, I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. Because I’m home most of the day, I can easily fit pet care into my routine. I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, and occasional weekend cat boarding a couple of times each month. My flexible schedule means I can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me, it’s part of my daily rhythm. From spending time outdoors to quiet afternoons at home, there’s always time for a walk, a play session, or some cuddle time. I love incorporating pet care into my day because it keeps me active, brings me joy, and lets me help both pets and their people feel at ease. I am also an avid Rover user myself and understand how important it is to know your fur baby is safe and comfortable while you’re away.
