About: I’ve been a furry mom for more than 20 yrs. I’ve owned and trained American Bulldogs and Pitbulls Sadly, I lost my fur baby of 14yrs in 2022. But so glad I started Rover because now I get to love on other dogs in the spirit of my Izze girl 🐶. I love dogs and enjoy spending time with them outdoors on warm days. Your pet will get playtime, love and lots of attention. Guaranteed two 30 min walks for daily (more if required), basic pet training if necessary, meals and of course a warm comfy place to rest at night. I work full time from home so I’m available for mid day walks, evenings and weekends. Dogs are the best!! I have beds, bowls and plenty of toys, Dogs allowed on furniture. I can easily crate your dog if requested however this is a kennel free boarding experience in my home. Recently, I became a dog mom again after recusing and adopting a 1yr old male Shitzu named Noah. Noah is sweet, friendly and loves to play with other dogs. He’s really enjoying his new home and doggie friends 🐶. Currently, I work from home full-time. I have take dogs on long walks at local parks and around the neighborhood. I follow your pets daily routine. I live in a fenced in courtyard, dogs will get at least two 30 minute walks daily. I usually take pets with me shopping or on errands. Your pet will not be left alone for longer than 1 hour if necessary.
About: Been caring for dogs for 8 years now. Experienced with most breeds. Neighbors, friends and even family have asked me to care for their fur friends. Currently working from home so I have time in my schedule. I am very attentive and super loving to all animals I watch. It fits perfectly. I care for your fur friends as if they were my own or my own kiddos. I would follow your instructions. I talk with you and make sure what you want, & I’ll do. Need a walk? Need someone to go to your home a feed the pup. I got you.
About: Hi! I’m a caring, reliable, and animal-loving pet sitter with hands-on experience in veterinary and animal care settings. As a pre-vet student, I’ve developed strong skills in animal handling, observation, and compassionate care through clinical and research environments. I worked as a veterinary assistant at Cornell University Specialists, where I gained experience working alongside veterinary professionals and strengthened my understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I also have a 11-year-old cockatiel and two cats of my own, so I truly understand the daily care, attention, and trust it takes to look after someone’s pets. I prioritize patience, attentiveness, and routine, making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or special care needs, I treat every animal like my own! I am also BLS and ALS CPR certified I am flexible and available throughout the week for dog sitting and house sitting. I am happy to help with daily visits, walks, feeding, and check-ins. I do not offer overnight stays, but I am reliable and willing to help wherever needed during the day. I provide attentive in-home pet care focused on safety, comfort, and routine consistency. I make sure pets are always in a secure environment—checking doors, gates, food access, and removing any hazards. I closely follow owner instructions for feeding, medications, and behavior routines to keep pets stable and stress-free in their home setting. With my basic medical knowledge from animal care experience, I am comfortable recognizing early signs of illness or distress (such as changes in appetite, vomiting, coughing, or lethargy) and responding appropriately by notifying the owner promptly and seeking guidance when needed. My goal is to ensure pets feel safe, cared for, and as close to their normal routine as possible while their owners are away
About: I grew up with dogs of all kinds back in my country, Georgia. I fed and took care of many feral dogs as well as domestic. Over the last two years, I've assisted my partner in her dog walking endeavors and have learned a lot about their behaviors. I'm very strong and can make sure your dog will be safe and active with me, if needed. I have experience with different breeds including the Caucasian Shepherd, large mixes and apartment breeds. My schedule is very flexible so I have open availability at the moment. I'm looking forward to walking your pup any time, any day. I have a yard at home and a puppy and cats to keep them company. My partner is also usually home to care for them if I need to be anywhere. Whether at mine or yours, I will follow their schedule and make sure your pup is thriving.
“Ariana was a fantastic sitter for our babies! She came on time or even a little early and got fantastic photos and updates of the kitties and ratties. And yes, she took care of our little rodent friends, making sure they had food while we were gone for a long weekend. Would definitely recommend Ariana and would love for her to sit for us again in the future!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve had both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have been caring for different breeds on my own since my teenage years. Friends and family regularly trust me with their pets, and I’m also a proud dog parent to Bob and cat parent to Nathan! I truly love animals and would be delighted to care for your furry family members while you’re away. I’m a real estate agent serving Westchester, NYC, and Long Island, which gives me a very flexible schedule. While most of my showings are on weekends, I work remotely during the week and can be fully present with your pets. I’m happy to provide overnight care as well, so your furry friends (and your home) are safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and routine come first. In your home, I follow your care instructions closely — feeding, walks, litter care, medications, and of course plenty of love and playtime. I aim to keep everything feeling normal and stress-free while you’re away. If pets stay with me, they receive constant supervision, a clean and cozy environment, and lots of enrichment and attention. I’m very attentive to each animal’s personality and needs. I also send regular photo and video updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing.
“We had a great experience with [Name] caring for our cats. She took the time to play with our very antsy cat and gave our shy, scaredy cat the space she needed, exactly as we requested. It was clear that she paid attention to each cat’s personality and needs. She was also very thoughtful about the little details, including rinsing out their food bowls so there were no lingering smells and making sure their medication was given with their food. We appreciated how attentive and caring she was while looking after our cats. We would definitely feel comfortable having her care for them again!”

About: I have experience with dogs for many years, taking care of them, walking them, boarding them, visiting them, feeding them and more. I have had dogs of my own since I was a little girl and I've always love them. I like to go for long or short walks depending on the dog. I visit them as often as needed and stay there for a short time or a long time. When im boarding them, they are free to be anywhere in the house, sleep wherever they like, i have no boundaries so they can feel comfortable and like home. I am so very punctual when it comes to the breakfast, lunch, dinner and or snack time. I like to show them tricks, play with them, run with them, take them to the park, hiking and more (also depending on the dog and how active they are). This is my full time job, so im always home with your pet, if i have to run an errand or something someone is always home so your pet if never left alone. I have a fenced front and back yard where they love to run around - i like to let them out in the yard as much as they like (weather permitting) to run around and play and during this time i am always with them making sure everything is ok. We also go for walks and park trips
“Tara did a great job stopping by to hang out with our dogs one night when we had to work late! Tara stayed with the dogs for an hour. They played fetch in the backyard, ate their dinner, and had some chill time on the couch. I absolutely trust Tara when giving her care instructions, and she made a late night at work easier with her updates and communicate. Thanks, Tara!”
“Marta was absolutely wonderful with my three cats during my trip! She gave me daily updates and photos that put my mind at ease, and I could tell they were comfortable and well cared for. She made sure they were fed on schedule, kept their area tidy, and gave them plenty of love and attention. Even my shy one warmed up to her, which says a lot. I came home to happy, relaxed cats thanks to her care. I would definitely book Marta again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! 🐾”
“Hannah is absolutely amazing! She took exceptional care of my two dogs, Max and Romeo, and they both adored her from the moment she walked in. Her kindness and warmth were immediately evident, and I could see how comfortable my dogs felt around her. Hannah went above and beyond to ensure they were happy, and received plenty of attention and playtime. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and her gentle approach made such a positive impact. I couldn’t have asked for a more caring and responsible pet sitter. Highly recommend Hannah for anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dobbs Ferry
Tamette and Ahn were wonderful with Daisy when they stopped by to meet her for the first time before we were going to be away. They were gentle and patient with her and she warmed up to them quickly. Tamette let me know how it went in detail when I asked, which I really appreciated. We would definitely use her again, and hope to leave Daisy with Tamette and Ahn at their home when we go away for a week in January.
Bruna took great care of our dog, Daphne, and made our first experience hiring a dog walker a fantastic one. She was reliable, communicative, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Daphne was happy and well cared for, and it was clear she was in great hands. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Bruna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet!
