About: Hi ya’ll, my name is Luke and ive been a dog/animal owner/lower my whole life. I’m a fit 35 year old capable of handling dogs of all size with care as if they were my own. I currently have a 70 pound hound mix named Kane who I walk daily in the Ballston lake/Clifton Park area. I’m a technology professional who works from home 3 days a week which allows me the flexibility to care for your pet whether that means walks or drop ins. I will care for your pet at your residence as per your direction. At my home I have a large backyard for dogs to frolic.

“Thank you Michelle. You helped Dunkin burn up his energy, even on this rainy day. I really, really appreciate it! Dunkin was pretty happy too.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life primarily for friends and family. I’ve taken care of german shepards, labradors, pit bulls, and many more. I’ve even more recently fostered a kitten for a few months as she waited to be adopted. I will make sure your furry friend is played with, fed, walked, snuggled (if they like that) and most importantly loved! I work as a waitress so my hours vary depending on the week. Usually shifts are 5 hours but can go up to about 10 hours if I am out on a double. I average about 30 hours a week. I can house up to two dogs in my home, however my backyard is only partially fenced in. I will not take dogs from different families/bookings at the same time. I am a very clean and tidy person so you do not need to worry about coming home to a mess. I am respectful of other peoples belongings and will only use what you tell me I am allowed to use.

“Awe thank you for update”

About: I have had pets since I was 4 years old! I love having pets in my home and making them a part of my family. My dog loves every dog she has ever met and loves to have a playmate! If you bring your pet to my house they will be treated like one of my family members! I work full time Monday-Friday 7:30-4, but my husband works from home and I am home all day during the weekends. My husband also loves dogs and has plenty of free time during his work day to take walks and give lots of love! I have a fenced in back yard with lots of room for running. We are on a cul de sac so there is very little traffic in my part of the neighborhood. My home also has several baby gates to make sure that your pet is safe if I have to leave them in the house for a short amount of time.

About: I’m a beginner on Rover, but I’ve been caring for dogs for about 6 years through friends and family, and it’s something I truly love doing. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs with all kinds of personalities, high-energy pups, shy dogs, older dogs, and everything in between, so I’m very comfortable adapting to each dog’s unique needs. I also have a 10-year-old dog of my own, which has given me a lot of hands-on experience with daily care, routines, and understanding how dogs communicate. He’s a bit odd and thrives when he’s kept to his routine. He loves people but there are a few dogs in my neighborhood who he has decided he'd rather avoid so I’m familiar with sticking to a routine and dealing with each dog's unique quirks! It is important to me that every pet feels safe and comfortable. While I’ve never owned a cat myself, I’ve taken care of a few and really enjoyed the experience. I’m always happy to learn their routines and make sure they feel just as cared for and relaxed while you’re away. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away by making sure your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently work full time as a Medical Assistant at a Private Family Practice. I’m applying to Physician Assistant School this spring and am working to get experience while I finish my applications. My hours are 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday. I don’t have time during my work day to stop in to let pets out or feed them and am best suited to do walks, feedings, and keep company in the early morning or evenings. My weekends are typically open and flexible as I am able to stay at the house all day but prefer to drop by several times throughout the day for whatever care is necessary. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities while staying in your home. I make it a point to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or any specific care instructions, so they feel secure and stress-free in their familiar environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s behavior, boundaries, and personality to ensure they feel safe and respected. I’m very attentive and always keep a close eye on pets, whether we’re relaxing at home or out for a walk. I also make sure doors, gates, and any potential hazards are secure at all times. I respect your home just as much as your pet. I keep things clean, organized, and exactly how you left them. Communication is very important to me, so I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins while you’re away so you always know how your pet is doing. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine attention, and that your home will be in good hands.

“Our dog has special medical needs so we can’t trust just anyone with her care. Rachelle made us feel comfortable right away and our dog loved her. We will definitely be using her when I go back to work in the office.”

About: I have over three years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m certified in dog and cat CPR and first aid, ensuring every pet’s safety and wellbeing while in my care. Along with daily walks, playtime, and cuddles, I also incorporate basic training and positive reinforcement to help keep good habits going strong. Pet care fits perfectly into my active, outdoor lifestyle. I love spending time outside, whether it’s going for walks, hikes, or just enjoying the fresh air—and I always bring the dogs along for the fun. Staying active keeps both me and the pets happy and healthy, and it gives them the exercise and enrichment they need every day. When caring for a dog in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and their environment comfortable. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions closely while giving plenty of love and attention. I make sure to keep the home clean, secure, and stress-free for the dog, sending regular updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while they’re away.

“Victor was wonderful and was able to stop by and walk my dog with only one day notice. I appreciate your prompt communication and taking Luigi on a nice walk. Thank you so much!!”

About: Combining a love for animals with over 4 years of experience in veterinary medicine, I am dedicated to the health, comfort, and happiness of all pets in my care. Currently expanding my skills in dog training and behavior, I bring expertise in not only handling but also understanding each pet’s unique personality, routines, and needs. You can trust me to provide safe, compassionate care with attention to detail for your best fuzzy friends, from adventurous pups to gentle senior pets. All paws are welcome! I’m a proud parent to two husky mixes and have had the privilege of caring for animals from various backgrounds, including those needing specialized attention or medication. A true cat enthusiast as well, I bring the same level of respect and understanding to our feline friends. My goal is to build a lasting connection with each animal I meet, creating a trustworthy bond for both pets and their people. Every walk and session is an opportunity to enrich your pet’s life and offer you peace of mind. My schedule is currently open to enrich my own dogs and many others! I will apply my training skills daily to all dogs in my care, specializing in social skills and the basic manners I have years of leash experience with XXL breeds, hunting breeds, and teacup sizes as well. I've mentored under behavioral specialist and award winning veterinarians, learning safe handling techniques,

“Net did a fantastic job with our dog’s first Rover experience and we were happy to get the photos, update and report cards - assurance our dog was being treated great while we were away. We will be booking with Net again!”

About: Hi! I’m Sarah! I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, cows, and other animals. I have two dogs of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’m reliable, responsible, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just hanging out with them while you’re away.

About: I've been around animals my entire life, living in a veritable zoo with cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, hamsters, and siblings. While I've helped care for my parent's pets since I was a child, my first fur-baby is Sully, a 75lb German Shepherd/Black Lab rescue that my wife and I adopted in 2016. Since my primary work is at home, I spend more time with Sully than anyone else! I currently work a full-time job in online education, and I am also responsible for care-giving for my son at least two days per week. I plan for pet-care to be a part-time job where I travel to your home to walk and/or spend time with your pet. I am open to dog boarding if your dog ends up being a good fit and is introduced to my son and dog. I have a fenced-in yard for play, and I'm also a short walk from Woods Hollow Nature Preserve in Ballston Spa. I am out with Sully every 3-4 hours for a walk, potty-break, or to play ball.
