About: I am an animal lover and have ample experience sitting for cats and dogs. While I have a cat of my own, I love dogs and taking care of them as well. I am currently working a part-time remote job, so I am able to check in on pets whenever needed throughout the day. I am also happy to hang out with them while I work if they tend to get lonely throughout the day! I have a cat at home who is anxious and does not get along with other pets, so while I can’t offer boarding at my own house, I am committed to giving your pets the best care possible from the comfort of their own home environment.

About: I have had pets my whole life and hold animals dear to my heart! I LOVE spending time with them and making them happy. I have cared for dogs and cats for years and am very patient with them. I have a fenced in yard. I would prefer to avoid bringing clients pets into my home because I have 2 cats. But if the dog is friendly enough and has experience with cats I would consider it. My house is fairly big. It has a basement and attic, with 2 floors they’d have room to run and play. I have a medium sized yard so there would be room for them to run and play. I also have a safe street to bring them on walks. I pet sit full time. I’m looking to gain more clients so please book me. I spend my time practicing yoga, studying holistic health, caring for my own cats, reading or creating… so I am able to shift my schedule around easily to fit your needs! My home is cozy and safe with lots of room to run around and comfy furniture to sleep on! I keep the windows open and do not use toxic products in my house.

About: I was raised in a positive pet friendly family environment and had my own dogs and cats for more than twenty years. I can handle large, medium, and small dogs and will look to give them long walks and lots of exercise as a good dog is a tired dog. I work full-time but have plenty of free time during the week and on weekends to feed, walk, play fetch, or just hang out with your dog. I am happy to come to your home and walk your dog and or play at a local dog park, I am familiar with dogs from Yorkshire Terriers and Kings Charles Spaniels to Rottweilers and German Shepards.

About: I grew up around animals, from birds and hermit crabs to cats and dogs, my household has always been filled with pets. I have also fostered medically fragile dogs and volunteered at the Westchester Humane Society. I am passionate about ensuring all animals receive the best possible care and I will give your pet the same love I give my own. I currently work part time and I’m a full time grad student, but I have my own transportation so my schedule is open and flexible. I will schedule a meet and greet with you and your pet to learn all about their unique quirks, likes, dislikes, and routines prior to beginning services with them. I ensure a safe environment by using non-retractable leashes on walks and will send you updates while I am with your pet. Your pet's safety is my top priority.

About: I’ve had many different animals my whole life starting as a child. My Fiance and I currently have two dogs, aged 2 and 10 years old. Our animals are our world, they love walks, parks, car rides and snuggles at night. Animals deserve all the love in the world and I promise to treat your animals as I would my own if you choose me to take care of them! My schedule is mostly flexible as I work for myself crafting at home. Communication is key so let’s figure out what your pet’s needs are and what works best for them and you. I want your pets to be as comfortable as possible whether it be here or there so I do my best to keep your pets schedule as normal as possible for them. If your dog is at home with me there is a fenced in yard for play time and a quiet neighborhood for long walks as well.

About: I will keep you updated throughout the day letting you know how your pet is doing. If you'd like, I can even send you pictures showing how happy your pet is. I freelance in film production which allows me to be flexible with days and time. I have a wired sleeping schedule too which will allow me to go whenever to watch your pet. I make sure my roommates dog is always walked, fed, loved, played with, and above all, has water. I have a natural caring gift for all animals.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 12 years old and moved in with my dad. He had two red nose pitbulls who I loved and adored. I would play for hours and pet for hours. I would be the one responsible for their walking, feeding, and hygiene (baths, nail cutting, ear cleaning) and I genuinely enjoyed it. My grandparents had a Pomeranian for some years prior, and I would every weekend ask to go and see the dog. I loved him and he loved me, he would jump so high every time I walked through the door! I taught him how to do “paw”, roll over, and many more tricks. When I reached a driving age, my grandparents asked me if I would care for him while they were out of town, which was often. I would either stop in 4x a day for potty breaks and food checks or pick him up and bring him for a car ride and long walks(weather permitting) with a nice treat after. I currently work full time, and am available to care for your pet(s) Fridays after 6pm-Sunday night, perfect for pet parents who planned a weekend getaway! I will treat your pet as if they were my own. I talk to them, I give them endless lovin’. I am very observant and take note of what they do/do not like, to avoid upsetting them. Even things like if they were needing to be brushed, have their eyes/ears wiped, I will do it without issue because I would do the same if it were my pet.

About: As a social worker, I'm highly attuned to both human and animal needs/issues, and love getting to know and cater to unique personalities - or provide loving care for those who are ill or have special needs. I started taking care of neighbors' pets at an early age and though we only had fish and birds and a cat at home, dogs and other animals became a special love of mine. I have been cat, dog, bird and other little furry friend sitting for over four decades and have done so for several years as a 5 star sitter on Trusted Housesitters. I love making new furry friends, both for sharing my positive, attentive energy with them, and for nourishing in the innocent sweet playfulness they often offer. The mutual benefits of animal care are no joke! As an avid traveler and travel writer (we social workers need periodic breaks from our big jobs), pet sitting has been a fabulous win-win-for-all! I love immersing in local scenes, and enjoy getting to know the nature, infrastructure, and pulse of new places. Perhaps most importantly, I love hunkering down for writing (I am a published writer in addition to being a social worker) with the delightful energy of furry friends beside me. They seem to like it too! I grew up in a small city, have lived in a major city for over two decades and LOVE being in more rural and remote areas too. You can count on me to bring my strong sense of professionalism and responsibility to your pets and to your home. I’ve often been told that other than happy pets, there was no sign I had even been there! I am currently freelancing/focusing my time on writing projects so I often have a flexible schedule....and love taking work breaks with furry friends! A veteran 5-start pet-sitter, I am new to Rover and am figuring out how the calendar and geography works so it can reflect where I am and when I'm available. Most folks comment that they can barely tell I've been there. Cleanliness, respect, and loving care are my hallmarks. I make sure to honor any requests and instructions for people's homes, which often have quirks and special needs -- and to of course respect privacy too, just as I would as a social worker. As for furry friends, they get exceptional, reliable, patient, playful, caring energy from me while I make sure that all their food, litter, or other needs are met.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and pet owner with two cats of my own. I’ve also helped friends and others care for their dogs, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they get plenty of attention while their owners are away. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I treat every animal with the same patience, care, and affection I give my own. Whether your dog needs a walk, some company, or someone to keep their routine while you’re away, I’d love to help keep them happy, comfortable, and cared for! Pet care fits well into my schedule, especially on weekends when I have the most flexibility and availability. I’m primarily available for weekend bookings, including drop-in visits, dog walking, house sitting, and overnight stays in your home. With at least a week’s notice, I can also be flexible with weekday care when needed. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making their time away from their owner as stress-free as possible. I spend quality time with them, whether that means going for walks, playing with their favorite toys, giving them affection, or simply keeping them company. I’m respectful of each home and make sure everything is left clean and secure. I also pay close attention to each pet’s personality and preferences so I can adjust my care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable.

About: Hi! I'm so glad you're here! I know how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your pet and that's exactly the kind of care I strive to provide. Whether your pup needs a fun walk to burn off energy or they just want a friendly face while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way. I treat every pet as if they were my own, following their routine closely so they stay comfortable and stress-free. I have five years of experience with both my own and family members' dogs, giving me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention. You can expect dependable communication, plenty of photo updates, and personalized care based on your pet's unique personality and needs. I know every animal is different, and I take the time to earn their trust while making sure you have complete peace of mind. I currently work part-time, giving me flexibility for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Your pet's safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I'll take the time to follow your care instructions carefully and make sure they feel comfortable during every visit. Whether we're out for a walk or spending time together at home, I'll provide a calm, caring, and dependable environment while treating your pet and your home with the utmost respect. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in safe and caring hands. Here are the Services I offer and What to Expect: 30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation they need during the day. 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you’re away.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
