About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, so I understand how important it is that they receive safe, attentive, and loving care. I have experience with dogs of all ages and energy levels, including puppies who need structure and patience, senior dogs who require a gentler approach, and both low- and high-energy dogs who need the right balance of exercise and attention. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, sticking to routines, and adjusting to each dog’s personality to make sure they feel comfortable and stress-free. This is my full time job so I have full availability and I am very flexible with scheduling. I also keep my calendar updated frequently! Pet care is my full-time job, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of booking needs, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and last-minute requests. I keep my calendar updated daily and prioritize quick responses, so you can count on reliable communication and availability when you need it.

This is the second time I've entrusted Tonesha with caring for my puppy Simba while I've been out of town. She goes above and beyond, treating him as if he were her own. She keeps me updated during each visit, and I will definitely continue using her services. She's truly amazing!

About: I have years of experience caring for pets of all kinds and currently share my home with my two-year-old doodle mix, who loves making new friends. I provide a safe and loving environment where pets feel at home while their owners are away. From walks and playtime to snuggles and personalized care, I ensure each pet’s unique needs are met. Your furry friend will be treated like family, with plenty of attention and love during their stay! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home, allowing me to provide constant attention and care. I can easily incorporate walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and any special needs into my day. Being home full-time ensures that your pet is never left alone for long periods and always has someone nearby to care for them. My flexible schedule also allows me to accommodate pets with specific routines or preferences. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets in my home. I have a fully fenced yard, providing a secure space for outdoor play and exercise under close supervision. Inside, pets are cared for in a clean, pet-friendly environment where they can relax comfortably.

We booked Ally through the Rover app to watch our little Yorkie, Bleu, for five days while we went on a cruise, and I honestly could not have asked for a better experience. The booking process through Rover was incredibly easy, but I was still nervous about having someone coming in and out of our home while we were away. From the very beginning, Ally made me feel completely comfortable and reassured. She answered every single question I had and never made me feel like I was asking too much. In fact, she went above and beyond to assure me that all of my concerns were completely valid. That level of care and understanding meant so much to me. Most importantly, Bleu absolutely loved her! Ally took amazing care of him and went above and beyond not only with him, but also with keeping our home safe while we were gone. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was being cared for by someone so attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring. I will absolutely continue booking with Ally in the future, and I’m so grateful we found someone who cares for Bleu as much as we do. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!

About: I am my neighborhood’s designated pet watcher and I also own three big dogs of my own. I have experience with very energetic dogs as well as dogs with anxiety. My dog Bear has epilepsy so unfortunately, I am used to giving medication and taking care of his special needs. I am a college student at Columbia University working a part-time remote job this summer with the US government. My schedule is super flexible. I wanted to find another job that I would always enjoy. I am currently working a part-time remote job at a consulting firm this summer. I am a rising junior in college with a car and loads of time. I am willing to drive just about anywhere and make sure your beloved pets are safe while you are away. I am very reliable, prompt and professional.

Julianna was extremely reliable, and so compassionate caring for our cat while we were away! We were truly blown away by her attention to detail and her calm nature… She was willing to look out for a few specific things on our list without hesitation. We were so pleased and felt so comfortable knowing that Mochi was in good hands, and it allowed us to enjoy our getaway so much more. We will definitely be rebooking her soon for another weekend away! Highly, highly recommend.
