About: I started walking dogs when I was 15, two dogs every night and ended up knowing half the complex’s pets by name. Ten years of that teaches you a lot. Every dog is different and that’s genuinely my favorite part. Some are anxious and just need patience and consistency to come out of their shell. Some stop to sniff everything on the sidewalk and I let them take their time. It’s their walk. I’m easy to work with, I communicate well, and I take the dogs in my care seriously. I’m available weekdays and I prefer recurring schedules because dogs do better with routine, and so do their owners. If you’re looking for someone reliable who’s actually going to pay attention to your dog, I’d love to help. Weekdays, daytime. I’m happy to set up a recurring schedule and honestly prefer it. Dogs thrive on routine and it makes things easier for everyone. I pay attention. On every walk I’m aware of what’s around us, how your dog is feeling, and what they need in that moment. My goal is simple: bring your dog home happy and give you one less thing to worry about.
About: I grew up with and have raised dogs my whole life, so I naturally know how to handle everything from high-energy puppies to calm seniors. Since I don't have any pets of my own right now, I have plenty of extra energy to focus entirely on your pet during our time together. I have a very calm presence that pets naturally love, and whether we are going for a long exercise hike or a quick potty break, I’ll make sure your pet stays safe, happy, and well-exercised. I'm a current graduate student who is available most of the day and weekends if needed. Mondays and Tuesdays, I have class from 6 pm - 10 pm so I am not available then. Whether I am walking your dog or checking in on them at your house, their safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I am extremely responsible with house keys and security, and I always make sure doors and gates are double-locked before I leave. Since I grew up with dogs, I’m very alert to my surroundings and keep a close eye on body language to avoid any stressful situations with other animals or traffic. I also love sending plenty of photo updates so you can see exactly how much fun your pup is having while staying safe and well-cared for.
“Bella is wonderful. Not only is she great with my dog (and I'm sure everyone else's) she has her own dogs and cat....so she really understands how pet parents feel. The minute she met my dog, she came into my house, and started brushing him & rubbing his ears...you should have seen his FACE - He nearly fell asleep, lol. She definitely loves animals and she gets it. If she offered boarding/daycare, I'd totally trust her with my dog and I am VERY protective of my dog bc daycares in Riverdale allowed him to be attacked and harmed. She is careful and she actually cares.”
“2 very active puppies! I know they are a handful. Thank you Angelina for being so patient and good with them. I also appreciate you putting the food out for them etc. highly recommended. I believe animals can sense when you care and are a good person. Thank you!”
“Christine really came through for me when my wife sprained her ankle. She wasn’t able to walk our new rescue dog, and he’s currently untrained and quite a handful. Thankfully Christine came through for us despite all of that and actually had no problems walking him during that time. She’s super friendly and very communicative. We look forward to having her walk our boy again soon.”
About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for animals and have two dogs of my own. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have volunteered at animal shelters, where I socialized cats and dogs, walked them, fed them, and bathed them. I have also provided pet sitting, dog training, and dog walking services for friends. My love for animals extends beyond pets. I have helped rescue injured baby birds and cared for stray cats while volunteering in the Dominican Republic. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I always treat every animal with patience, compassion, and care. As a college student, my schedule is flexible, especially during evenings, weekends, and summer. I have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I am committed to providing your pet with lots of attention, exercise, and companionship while you are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions and make sure pets are supervised and secure at all times. In your home, I will respect your space and maintain your pet’s normal routine to help them feel relaxed and safe. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you are away.
About: I am an animal lover and have dedicated my life to caring for rescue pets since I adopted my first special needs cat in grad school. I have 9 years of foster experience with reputable animal rescues and am also a proud pet parent to 5 cats and 3 chickens. I am also experienced with administering medication and sub-q injections for pets with chronic kidney disease. Currently available for drop-ins and dog walking to cover weekends, evenings, and anytime you're looking to get away and need a reliable, patient and hardworking pet sitter you can trust. I am currently raising a 7 month old cat, and have experience caring for special needs animals (a cat with chronic kidney disorder). As a pet parent myself I know that every creature has its unique needs and am dedicated to ensuring that your pet's comfort and safety are taken care of.
About: I’ve been dog walking, dog & cat & small pet sitting since starting my own business in the 6th grade (2006). I have a dog of my own, and love spending time with animals. I have experience giving cats and dogs scheduled medication and have a lot of experience in animal care and behavior. I have trained my own dog since he was a puppy so have experience with guiding younger pups on walks and in play! On the opposite side of the spectrum I have also cared for my own elderly/senior dogs and cats and the healthcare that comes with it. I have a gentle approach and am lucky enough to usually be well received by animal pals :) I am also a photographer, and love doing pet portraits! I am working part-time with a rotating schedule so my availability will change week to week. I am happy to make things work for your schedule and love incorporating it into my weekly plans. I have a dog of my own and live on a busy street, so I’m used to being keyed in on where my pup (or a kitty) is at all times. I’ll confirm that gates are closed and always bring a pet outside on a leash first before letting them off leash to confirm that the yard is secure. Happy to confirm that windows or doors are locked whenever I’m wrapping up!
“Andrew was great from the moment we met him, great energy and understands how to care for older dogs. He was on time for the appointments, and very quick to respond to communication requests. We will absolutely use him again and recommend him to our friends.”
“Lorenzo was great! Very responsive, punctual, flexible with schedule, clear communicator, and my dog clearly enjoyed her time with him. I'll definitely ask him to help me out with weekly walks going forward.”
About: I am a relative newbie to dog walking (have done so volunteering with rescue dogs) but have prior pet experience with hamsters. I am gentle, punctual, detail-oriented, and have a medical background. I will treat your pet with respect, will ensure safe practices, and will accommodate playtime if desired. I am also using this opportunity to help decide on getting a pet myself. I am available mid-day, afternoons, and evenings 7 days a week. I can be available at other times if and as needed. Happy to get started asap! I believe in being gentle but firm when the pet wants to do something different than the human. For dog walking I will possibly be in the client's home during pickup and drop-off only. I am respectful of the client's wishes during those times
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats as pets so I understand the importance of caring for them as they are part of the family. I have worked with multiple kinds of dogs and cats through friends, family, and personal experience. I just graduated college and am currently working part time so I’m available in the mornings to take care of your pets whenever you need! I will care for your pet as if it is my own. It is my priority to keep your pet fed, walked, loved, happy, and safe at all times. I’m able to take your pets on long walks or house sit.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I currently have 2 (both big dogs - a golden and a pointer), and I’d be more than happy to bring them along, if possible. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, and would love to help with yours! I have classes and am usually working until about 4 pm on Tuesdays-Thursdays, and my availability varies for every other day (based on EMS shifts) — but I’m generally available at any time. Please let me know works best for you! If you’d like your dog to socialize, please let me know! I have two friendly big dogs that love to play. If not, no worries. And please let me know if there’s anything else I should know about you and your pet’s needs, as I’d more than appreciate the info and guidance.
About: My name is Robert and I absolutely love dogs in every way. I have had dogs my whole life and know how to care for different breeds with wide variety of behaviors and needs. Dogs are just as much family as anyone else and deserve to be treated that way. I’m based in beautiful Hartsdale, NY, just steps away from a large park that’s perfect for walks and playtime. I have a fully fenced-in yard, providing a safe and fun space for dogs to roam freely and get plenty of fresh air. I also partner with two other experienced Rover sitters, which means your pet will always have round-the-clock care and attention — 24/7! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine — I have open availability throughout the week, so I’m always ready to provide walks, playtime, feedings, and overnight care as needed.. I live in a house with a nice big fenced in backyard and I also have a very large dog kennel that can be used if needed. Plenty of room to run around.

Drew walked our 2 dogs (a Lab and a Cocker Spaniel mix) every day for a week and it worked out great. He was very thorough in his communications and punctual on each visit. Our dogs can be anxious, but Drew was great with them and they instantly became comfortable. I would highly recommend Drew.
I cannot recommend Kaylene enough! She was incredibly kind, patient and loving with our puppy. She helped me through my difficult puppy period. Additionally, Kaylene was professional and flexible. She was a pleasure to work with and our puppy hopes to see her again!
