About: Hi, I’m Christa! I’m 33 years old and have hands on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from dogs and cats to rabbits, ducks, chickens, goats, and horses. I grew up surrounded by pets and have always felt at home with all types of animals. I pet-sat on Rover a few times in 2015, but got busy with work and school and unfortunately had to give it up. I now work from home on my own schedule, and recently purchased my own home with a large fenced in yard, so I'm giving it another shot! I have two lab mixes: Bear (13 years) and Goose (7 months). My dogs are well-socialized and typically get along great with other pups! I also have two house cats, Meera and Jojen, and have about 9 stray cats that I care for and am currently working on getting spayed/neutered. I also have a degree in biology, where I took several animal focused courses that deepened my understanding of animal behavior, health, and care. This background helps me provide thoughtful, informed, and attentive care for all kinds of pets! Thanks for stopping by, I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet like one of my own! Since I work remotely on my own schedule training AI models, I’m home most of the day and can easily give your pet the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. In my home, I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I stick to their usual routines for feeding, play, and rest, and offer plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. I do slow introductions with my own pets to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I grew up with a family dog and had two cats as a child, plus a whole tank of 15 fish that my friends and I were responsible for. Since 2020, I’ve added two cats and a dog to my home, and caring for them daily has deepened my understanding of different pet personalities and needs. I’m currently raising and training my own puppy, so I know firsthand how important patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are—especially for young or high-energy dogs. I’m also very familiar with feline behavior and needs, whether it’s building trust with a shy cat or maintaining feeding and play routines. For my cat babies, whom have two VERY different personalities, the quiet moments to the crazy ones, I understand cat behaviors, routines, and patience it takes to provide a loving environment for them. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I always focus on safety, clear communication, and giving animals the care and affection they deserve—whether that’s a long walk, a calm visit, or a play session that burns off energy. You can trust me to follow instructions closely and give your pets the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care seamlessly into my day. Whether you need early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening drop-ins, I can accommodate a variety of routines to match your pet’s needs. Because I already care for my own pets daily, I’m used to managing feedings, potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m available anytime. I can adjust my availability depending on your schedule. Reliable, communicative, and consistent—I’ll make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s unique routine, preferences, and personality so I can provide care that feels familiar and comforting to them. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and will always follow your instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding times, potty routines, or how your pet likes to be walked or played with. I keep things clean, calm, and consistent to help pets feel secure while you're away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you feel connected and reassured while you're away. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.

“Stephanie is always very timely and provides great updates on Buster while we’re away! She’s very thoughtful and responsive - we highly recommend!”

Christy G.

“Sara was fantastic! This is my first time using Rover and she did not disappoint. She was so helpful and sent me great photos of my little kitty. She was on time and so lovely! She made me feel so at ease and I will absolutely use her again! Thank you Sara!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life. Friends and family have had me pet sit and/or house sit since I was 16. I have a huge heart for animals of all kinds. I’m reliable, consistent and ready to help you out with your furry children. I have a full time job but make sure I take care of the animals before work. I then check on them before going home from work and then will check on them again before bedtime. Special accommodations are always available. I make sure to follow directions to a T. But I always make sure to give them extra belly rubs or pets. I have taken care of all ages of animals ranging from puppies/kittens to geriatric.

About: I’m Korin, I offer dog sitting, walking and more. As a pet parent myself (2 cats, 1 dog) I know how important is to have someone you trust caring for your animals when you are at work, traveling or cannot be home. Would love to meet and care for your pet! I have over 10 years experience caring for friends and family members dogs while out of town, or away for the day. This includes: overnight stays, walking, feeding, playing, bathing and administering medication. Can provide references upon request. Please reach out if you have any questions or would like to know more! I work remotely full time from our home and I have a very flexible work schedule which allows me to walk my dog 2-3x during the day. She is able to free roam and enter and exit the backyard as she pleases. I have a large fenced in backyard that’s perfect for play. Our dog and cats sleep in our bed, but all have animal beds and their own spaces. As a puppy we crated our dog, but now she is allowed to free roam the house when we are out. Comfortable crating or free roaming depending on the dog.

About: As a U.S. Navy veteran, retired NYPD officer, and experienced dog trainer, I bring professionalism, reliability, and genuine care to every aspect of my dog sitting services. My background includes years of training seeing eye dogs for Guiding Eyes for the Blind, where I gained a deep understanding of canine behavior, structure, and trust. That same discipline and compassion guide the way I care for each dog—providing a safe, structured, and loving environment while you’re away. You can count on me to treat your pet with the same dedication and respect that have defined my entire career. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I am retired and able to dedicate my full time and attention to the dogs I look after. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s what I love. My days are centered around walks, playtime, training, and making sure each dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. After years of structured service as a Navy veteran and NYPD officer, I truly enjoy spending my days providing dependable, compassionate care to pets and peace of mind to their owners. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, structured, and loving environment that keeps each animal comfortable and secure. I follow the owner’s routine as closely as possible—maintaining consistent feeding times, exercise schedules, and any training or medication needs. With my background training seeing eye dogs for Guiding Eyes for the Blind, I understand how important consistency and trust are for animals. I provide plenty of attention, supervised play, and affection, ensuring every pet feels at ease while their owner is away. As a retired police officer and Navy veteran, reliability and accountability are second nature to me, and I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect and care.

“Abby has been so communicative and my dog loved her. She was on time, very informative, and sent lots of pictures and videos. I felt very confident that my dog was well taken care of the entire time!”

About: I grew up afraid of dogs, but through patience, love, and dedication, I worked through my fears and discovered a deep appreciation for them. That journey led me to work with service dogs through Paws4People, where I gained hands-on experience understanding canine behavior, training, and care. Now, as a proud pet owner myself, I bring that same compassion and attentiveness to every dog I meet treating each one like my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, calm companionship, or extra patience, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾 I am working part time allowing for my schedule to be flexible to meet your pet care needs as needed whether it’s a walk in the park or overnight care. I have a fenced in backyard for your furry loved ones safety, I can crate your pups as needed or instructed, and can provide photo updates as needed for your peace of mind.

“Colby and Debbie have been dropping in on Jack for a couple of weekends now and he LOVES their visits. They give me great updates on how he is doing and makes sure all his needs are met with each drop in visit. I will be using them on a regular basis!”

“Jamie did a great job with my dog Pooch. Pooch has separation anxiety. Because of this, I was very worried about leaving him for an extended period of time for a business trip. When Pooch met Jamie he seemed to like her right away. This put me at ease. He did great with her while I was away. I enjoyed the regular photos and updates of him too!”
