About: I've had dogs in my family for over 30 years and cats for over 10 years! Animals should be treated with kindness and love because that's what they give us. I understand the time and attention that new pets require as well as the gentle and caring touch that all pets deserve. I've always been my friend's dog sitter and own two cats of my own. I'm a teacher so I will be free for most of the summer during the week. I enjoy the outdoors so would love to take your dog for a walk and also care for your cat or dog indoors. I've never had a fish but would happily check in on those water babies as well! At this time, I am not able to board your cat or dog in my apartment as I have two cats of my own. Thanks.
About: New Rover users--use my link and promo code for $20 off! My Promo Link: https://www.rover.com/sit/alessr29068 My Promo Code: ALESSR29068 Hi, I'm Alessia and I'm a graduate student at RPI! I know how much a pet can mean to someone, so I make them feel like my own! A furry companion would be an absolute delight to have with me. I'm very active so we can go for super long walks or runs. Most importantly, I always have my phone on me so whenever you need me, expect a response immediately. I have plenty of time to spend with your dog or cat, so I'll be readily available for anything you need. I have the most time for your furry friend over the weekend when I don't have work. During the week, I'm happy to help out in the early morning or later during the day. I unfortunately am not able to provide any boarding services in my own home at the moment due to pet restrictions in my apartment complex
“Larry is amazing !!! Took care of my dog just like I would. Took really good care of my boy and I’m very grateful because I’m a worried dog dad. Larry thank you so much for caring for my Dog. Best wishes 🫶🏽”


“Evelyn is a wonderful and responsible walker and sitter and takes great care of my dog Freckles. She always spends a full 30 minutes with her (and often longer) and makes sure she has lots of love and attention while I’m away at work. When it’s very hot she pays special attention to Freckles’ comfort and will take her back inside to cool off if she needs it, but still makes sure the visit is the full length of time. I always receive detailed follow-up and adorable photos when the walk is done. Evelyn has had to deal with a couple accidents and has been gracious in cleaning them up before putting Freckles back in her crate. I (and Freckles) highly recommend Evelyn!”

“Mary was absolutely wonderful! She took our last minute booking and went above and beyond walking our dog for over a mile each time and then spending time with him at drop off so he was calm and happy throughout the day. I definitely recommend booking with her if you want to be sure your pups are loved!”

About: I’ve owned animals my whole life, but didn’t get into professional animal care till about 2 years ago. Since then I have worked at several daycares and been the Assistant Manager at one! I’ve been around all types of pups from your most nervous dogs to your ultra reactive barkers. I’m always willing to work with you and your dogs! I have plenty of time to see your pups as I work primarily in the morning. I am also very flexible with drop-ins and can do most last minute appointments. DISCLAIMER: I do not stay overnight for my house-sitting requests. I have 5 dogs of my own that while I’d love to bring them with me, I cannot. I am able to be there first thing in the AM and as late as needed in the afternoon. My own pup loves other dogs so if you’re comfortable with your pup having a doggy friend, she is able to tag along! I am comfortable with any necessary oral medication administering, normal feedings, and normal play time with the pups! I am also able to do light training if interested. If needed, I can also do nail trims for an additional price.
About: Hi there! I’m Net. 🙂 I’m the go-to gal of my friends and family for watching their four-legged kid - and I love that reputation. I’m here to help ease those worries of last-minute changes to your everyday itinerary or lessen stress when being cross-country on travel - I get that because being there has done the same! And what is more of a bonus for me to make another pal? Seems like a win-win situation if you ask me. For as long as I can remember, I have always been fascinated and compassionate when it comes to animals. They have always been one of my favorite things in this world. Growing up with birds, rabbits, cats, dogs, you name it - really helped that love grow and helped me to also learn how to be responsible, coordinate time management and even how to properly take care of them along the way at a young age. Fast-forward - I took the next step to wanting to know and learn more about them. So I signed myself up back in 2017 and took an online course to more knowledge and become a vet assistant where I later on finished my hours at a local vet hospital. I was taught valuable skills, such as patience in the field, restraint techniques, administering medication and the importance of detail, etc. I even have some background in doggy daycare! What can I say? I can’t get enough of these little guys. Learning everything from grooming and bathing techniques, to animal behavior of personalities and the ability to understand each animal’s needs and anxieties. Don’t forget the play! I’ll even put on a good jam for us too and break out in a dance party. Putting more experience under my belt in something that fills my soul and cup. I always say when you enjoy something you love it first, and it’s a job second. Hopefully, I’ll have the opportunity and chance to meet your dog, too! 🐶🤍 I’m currently working early in the morning, so I have a lot of downtime to take care of and hang out with your little one(s). Monday through Saturday, I’m free after 12:30pm and all day Sundays. Occasionally, I could have an extra day off during the middle of the week. Just shoot me a message! I will be more than happy to accommodate what I can. I have a whole pack at home myself. Did I mention that? Yup! Five in total to be exact. Ranging from all different breeds, the oldest is almost 13 and the youngest just turned 1. So keeping them occupied is definitely something we have adjusted and accommodated to. We have a whole fenced-in yard, a toy box that can't fit much left, walks are a very essential part of our daily life and activity, and we tend to rotate our pack in groups from going to breweries/wineries, to hikes and even events such as dog parks, farmers market and whatever else events tend to be happening at the time. If this is something you're interested in acclimating and a small dose over time, happy to bring them along with! Of course, the occasional cupcakes and cookies I make for my kids at home. Let me know if they have any allergies and I will be happy to bring a small bag over when I stop by! 🙂
About: I've been a lifelong cat companion and caregiver, having raised and nurtured them since I was young. Over time, I've also bonded with my cousins' and friends' dogs, learning their unique needs and quirks while helping with everything from daily care to playtime. Whether it's a playful pup or a curious cat, I genuinely enjoy keeping tails wagging and whiskers happy. Since I currently work remotely, my schedule is wide open for pet sitting and dog walking— whether it’s a midday stroll or an overnight cuddle session. With a little heads-up, I’m happy to help with house sitting, too. Caring for animals isn’t just a part of my day — it’s something I truly look forward to. In my home, I’m the go-to comfort zone for my two cats — they always come to me for cuddles, calm, and of course, their meals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I create that same sense of safety and familiarity. My friends’ dogs naturally stick close to me, whether we’re relaxing or out for a walk, because I make sure they feel secure, heard, and happy. Whether it’s your place or mine, I treat every pet like family — with patience, gentleness, and attention to their unique needs.
About: I have a young pup myself! She is four years old, and I always take her for walks, to the dog park, beaches, etc! While taking care of her I have watched other dogs, or have taken them out for quick breaks, etc. She loves the company, and I love it too as well as being able to help a fellow doggy mama or father. I did take her to training so I have some skills in training puppies or any age as they can always learn! This is a home with another dog so I will need proof of vaccinations for boarding or daycare, and can only board/watch dogs that are socialized around other dogs and enjoy their company. So happy to help, looking forward to playing with more pups! I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to help out! I can board dogs any day of the week, but just know the days I work they will be caged in a large cage during my shift or until my partner is home for the protection of my dog and yours. My dog is extremely social and friendly in fact she likes dogs more than people, but I want to be safe and keep them separated when no one is home. They will never be left alone for more than 4 hours, if that, for the days that I work. For walking services I am available during the morning/afternoons, and some evenings just reach out whenever and I'll let you know! Same goes for daycare. I understand sometimes things come up, so don't hesitate to reach out for same-day service! I'm always looking for a new adventure, so I know a lot of walking spots, and even some water spots for the dogs that love to splash! I also have a partially fenced in back yard, but I have a line that I would use for the dogs to play. If comfortable with me driving, I do have two doggy seatbelts, and know of other places to take the dogs to play, but I have plenty of local dog parks and walks nearby if driving is not something you'd want me to do with your dog. Trust me, I get it! When we're done with our adventure, I have plenty of toys to play with in home. Again, for boarding services, depending on the days needed for boarding, I may have to work. The pup will be caged for safety purposes of both parties, but never more than 4 hours.

“This was just our first meet and greet, but she did great! My dog is a rescue and has a lot of fears and anxiety. Linda was very patient, and I saw her using some of the same techniques a dog trainer told me about. We're looking forward to seeing her again!”

About: I've been my friend groups dedicated dog sitter for years. I haven't met one I don't get along with eventually, and I love meeting new pups. I'm up early most mornings, and I work from home so it's usually easy for me to pop out during my lunch break or during work hours if I have some notice. Unfortunately I can't have pets in my home, so I usually care for my friends dogs in their homes, and they all have fenced in yards. There is one friend who lives in an apartment and I usually walk their pup in the local park when needed.
About: I have had dogs and cats in my life since as long as I can remember. I have gone through 5 dogs growing up and have always been surrounded by the pets of friends and family! I’ve always loved every kind of animal, I believe the bond between a dog or cat and their human is truly unconditional. I’m eager to meet and care for more furry friends! I am a full-time hairstylist. Though I am scheduled for the same hours each week, sometimes I have slower weeks than others and my weeks are never always the same. I am looking for Rover as a side job to help me out during my slower days! I live in an Inlaw apartment under my mom‘s house. We have a fenced in backyard. I only have one cat in my apartment, and my mom has two dogs that are very friendly. We have a walking trail along a river across the street from our house!
About: I have loved animals all my life and your pet will have a great and safe time with me. I will make sure they are well cared for and that they get out a lot during the day. I am usually home all the time but if for some reason I have to leave they will be safe in one room. I have a 15 year old son who also loves animals and really wants a dog and this will also be an excellent opportunity for him to really learn what it is like taking care of a dog. your pet will be in great hands. So give us a call and we will treat your pet like the family member I know every pet owner wants

I treat them with the respect, kindness, and love they deserve. I follow the directions of what the pet owner asks of me. My cats are spoiled rotten and I will spoil your pets too if that is what you want.
