Dog Sitting in Darnestown

“Catherine was such a relief after a number of bad experiences with cat sitters who forgot to come or forgot the care needed for our cats. Catherine is very professional, left simple and timely notes about our kittie’s status after each visit, and left us feeling assured of their well-being. I will definitely be looking to book Catherine again!”

About: I’ve spent 20 years caring for dogs, having grown up with them and been actively involved in their care from a young age. My passion for dogs has only ever grown over the years, and I now have two of my own who are a huge part of my life. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds and personalities, and I’m committed to providing the same level of love, attention, and care that I give to my own pets. I currently work full time but I am able to spend morning and afternoons with your pet(s) and all day weekend’s. I am happy to accommodate your needs as I am able to. I am happy to walk your dogs on a leash around your neighborhood or play with them in your yard with their favorite toys. Please let me know if you have any special requests.

“Ruohan was absolutely amazing with my boy shadow! Shadow is a special little thing who is stubborn. She literally hand fed him since he was sad I was gone. She constantly updated with me with 7+pics each visit and I can follow along in the journey. She also would respond to questions almost immediately!! I can confidently say your sweet fur baby will be taken good care of and i will most definitely use her for future trips. Thank you again!”

About: I’ve taken care of a wonderful beagle while babysitting from high school to college. I have experience in ensuring medications were provided to the pup while multitasking additional care. I am currently working full time on the weekdays but I have plenty of time on the weekends to actively walk with your furry companion. Your furry companion will be in safe hands. I have a strong grip and pay attention to detail when something is amiss. They will get all the cuddles of comfort they need.

“Meilani watched our cat for a week, stopping by each morning to feed and check that she had what she needed. It was great to get her pictures each morning and even better to return to a very happy kitty. Would definitely recommend using her.”

About: I was a volunteer service dog raiser while I was in college. One of my dogs is a seeing eye dog and the other is a PTSD dog. I would also puppy sit other dog trainers dogs if my pups were with my co-raiser. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I currently have a little Maltese that is 13 years old! I hope in the future I can adopt/foster/train as many dogs as I can. I hope to become a certified dog trainer someday :) I’m working part time currently, but I want to spend time with some fur babies. Unfortunately, I had to put down my 14 1/2 year old Maltese recently, so I’m in need of some puppy love. At a clients home, I would make sure I know where everything is in case of an emergency. As well as, making sure the dog is comfortable with me being in their home.

“We were very satisfied with Don. He dropped in everyday to feed our doggies and let them out to do their business. He was very reliable and would send pictures. We highly recommend him.”

“Max took great care of my two dogs for 6 days. Was prompt with the visits, took them on occasional walks and kept me updated on the dogs with pictures and feedback.”

“Yashelle was wonderful, reliable, and responsive. We felt so much better knowing our cat was in caring hands while we were out of town, and appreciated the daily check-ins with photos and notes about his behavior. She will be our first call next time we need a sitter, and she should be your next call too!”

About: I grew up always having dogs in my family, and now I love caring for yours! I have fostered many puppies and dogs, and have adored every one! I give them lots of love, and help them feel at home. I work from home with a lot of flexibility, so am here for you. Since I work remotely, I can care for your pets in my home or yours. Available to help you with walks, overnights, weekends and more. I am mature, experienced and trustworthy. I will treat your dog like they're my own so you can feel comfortable leaving them in my care. I love to let them cuddle on the couch, play with toys in the yard, and have gates and a crate available, if needed.

About: I will be happy to take care of your dog/dogs. My family and me have a lot of experience in doing so since we have our own dog, and often do dog sitting for our friends. I am studying online, and my parents work online full time. We have a lot of time and desire to make your dog’s stay with us comfortable. We are available at any time. I live in a big house with my family. We have a fenced backyard. We also have a super friendly Shetland Sheepdog, who will keep your fur baby company. We also live close to a huge park.

About: I’m an EMT who grew up living with at least one dog since I was 4 years old- not the mention the cats, hamsters, and tortoise. I have loads of experience caring for both my own pets and other people’s. I truly do love most animals more than I do most people. I’m the girl you pass while walking your dog who asks to pet them. I will care for your pets like they are my own. I am currently taking a break from college and have a lot of free time. I often babysit my little sister and spend a lot of time caring for my own fur babies. I teach an art class afterschool Monday through Thursday and am unavailable from about 2pm-6pm, but my mornings, nights, and weekends are usually open. I take caring for my pets (and your pets) very seriously. I currently have two dogs at home who are fed twice a day. I spend a lot of time playing with them outside and taking them for walks. When we’re not playing fetch, or tug, or out for a walk, you’re almost guaranteed to find me snuggling my pups on the couch or sleeping in a bed that is hardly mine at this point.

“We have a fear reactive pup and Kira has gone above and beyond our expectations to work with her. She has taken the time to get to know Sadie and give her a chance to show her true colors. We were hesitant of Rover with a reactive dog, but couldn’t have found a better fit for our pups! We cannot recommend be her enough!”

About: Hi! I'm Sherm, and I've been a dog owner for more than a decade. I'm actually pretty famous among my friends for converting their dogs they claim to hate men, it usually only takes 10 minutes or so! I know how much our pets are family to us, and so I'm happy to update you on the time I spend with them, as well as offer training in obedience and socialization. My last pup was a toy breed who scrapped with Pitbulls for fun before I trained her, so I can handle breeds of high energy and high mentality! Hi! I work a job with three days a week in person, so 4 days a week I can spend entirely with your pup, and for those three days a week I can be gone from 8-3, and can happily return for Lunchtime walks and socialization. For those four guaranteed days I'm flexible as to your needs, and for nighttime sitting I am flexible any day of the week! Taking care of pets needs is my specialty, and I'm happy to use owner provided tools to take care of your pets, including brushing and toy entertainment! As my book of business grows I'm happy to expand my operations to earn your trust and keep your pets as excited to see me as I am to meet them!

About: I’ve trained and taken care of dogs since I was 15(now 32). Have experience with puppy and senior as well as medical needs. Apollo is my 2.5 year old lab who is incredibly friendly to people and animals. Great walking partner! Please let me know if your dog is not good with other dogs. I currently work full time remotely. I’m mostly available on the weekends and week days after 4pm but can sneak out for lunch visits and walks. With experience and genuine care, I offer a safe, structured, and dependable environment where your pets can relax, play, and feel completely at home as well as a great play partner with Apollo.

About: I have had my own dogs in the past and they were treated with love and affection. I truly enjoy caring for animals and making sure they feel comfortable!

I am mainly available every day from 7 am - 9 pm but feel free to communicate with me about flexibility and schedules. I have a fenced yard for your pets to play in. My neighborhood is full of other dogs and very spacious, making it easier to take them on enjoyable walks.

“Lynn and Mark were extraordinary! It was our first time using Rover and we are so happy to find these amazing people! We did a meet and greet and they took excellent care of our three cats! Always on time, very communicative, sent us a lots of photos and videos and they gain our cats love and respect very fast! I would highly recommend them.”

About: I’m a reliable pet sitter with years of experience. I’ve cared for animals of all types, making sure they feel safe, and happy. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priority. Your loved pet will feel like they are with family when I take care of them. Today I have a lot of time available to dedicate myself exclusively to taking care of animals because it is something I love to do. When I'm at home, I always try to keep an eye on my animals, check that they have fresh water, a clean bed, and I try to keep them distracted and comfortable.

About: I truly feel at home around all animals. I grew up with a chocolate lab and a German shepherd, and from a young age, I was helping care for them, training them, and even teaching them tricks. I’ve attended professional dog training and agility sessions, which taught me a lot about animal behavior and communication and allow me to connect with every new pet I have the joy to meet. Beyond dogs, I’ve been riding and caring for horses since I was four. While I’ll only be sitting dogs and cats on Rover, this lifelong experience with animals has taught me the patience, responsibility, and attentiveness required when caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I’ve also pet-sat for friends and family over the years, and I love getting to know each animal’s personality. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or senior, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m currently home for the summer after recently graduating from undergrad, so I have a very flexible schedule. I have my driver’s license and my own car, which means I can be available on short notice any day of the week. I’m happy to travel to your home to care for your pets wherever they feel most comfortable. I am also happy to establish regular schedules pet- or house-sitting schedules in order to build a trusting, caring relationnship with you and your pet. I provide pet care in your home to keep your pets comfortable in their own familiar environment. I always follow your specific care instructions closely, including feeding, exercise, medication, and any special routines. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities — I ensure doors and gates are securely closed and I stay attentive to your pet’s behavior and needs throughout my visit. I treat your home with respect and maintain cleanliness, leaving everything as I found it. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident that your pet is happy and safe while you’re away.

“Cecilia helped us out by coming over to give our cat his injected medication. She did a great job and we are very thankful for her! We know our babies are in good hands with her. Highly recommend.”
