“Karen did a wonderful job walking our dogs. We have one very high energy dog that can be difficult to walk until he releases energy and she handled him with such ease! Both of my dogs came back from each walk completely exhausted, it was perfect and exactly what we wanted! Karen was so lovely and we look forward to having her walk our dogs again!”


“I had an excellent experience with Amber meeting my dog for the first time. I loved receiving all of the thoughtful updates throughout out our booking - it was such a relief knowing that my dog was being looked after with such care. Amber is patient and attentive - she really went above and beyond with being sensitive of my dogs needs, especially when it comes to meeting new people. I'm looking forward to booking Amber again in the future.”



“Katie is amazing!! She handled my pups with care and leaves detailed reviews and good pics. She took them for good walks the past two days and gave them snacks afterwards. 10/10 would recommend her!”


About: I’ve had all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, lizards, hamsters, and more. I’m not allowed to have any pets where I live now, so I have endless patience for everyone else’s pets. I miss having animals in my life so I’m grateful for the chance to keep your pets happy while you’re away! My schedule is very flexible. I work from home so I can go to clients’ homes and stay with pets for a couple hours or stop by a few times a day. I’m also available most weekends. I’m unable to care for pets in my home but at clients’ homes I plan to follow all their rules and spend as much time playing outside with dogs and playing inside with other animals as possible.

About: I have two rescue dogs. Their personalities are opposite as night and day. One is very energetic and the other is a couch potato! Whether you have a high energy pup or calm one, your dog will find a friend here. My energetic pup knows when to stop playing if it’s not reciprocated in the first 15 minutes. I have a giant playpen and crate for dogs who need their alone time or is required by the parents. Those doors are always open. No need to bring yours. I separate all dogs while eating and let them out when they’re done. We mostly stay in the living room watching tv or outside. I have grown up with labs, chihuahuas and pit bulls. I have been dog/cat sitting for years for family and friends. I am fairly new to Rover. My fur family enjoys hiking and going to the park. We walk the neighborhood for 2 hrs a day. I am comfortable giving medicine. My dogs are my children and I take care of other animals like their mine. I worked as a manager for large department stores so I am very dependable and responsible. Thank you for your interest in me! I am currently working part time. My job is flexible. However, if you’ve booked me less than 48 hrs, we will have to agree on a good time for a drop off. I am able to be present with my animals majority of the day. If you request to board, make sure you bring everything your dog needs for a successful stay. Appropriate size collars/harness, training pads, etc. If your dog is an escape artist or doesn’t walk on a leash well, disclose that to me. So I can prepare myself before each walk and not be caught off guard. I also provide a quiet relaxing space for dogs. If your dog barks excessively and not the casual barking here and there, I would not be able to babysit them. Feel free to reach out to me at any time. I will do the same if there’s a question I’m not sure of.

About: My passion of caring for animals began well over a decade ago, when I started volunteering for local shelters and organizations in middle school. Since then, I've continued to grow my experience in pet care - whether through volunteer work or pet sitting - and have built great relationships with many local pet owners since. Very flexible schedule - weekdays and weekends! I am currently available mornings, afternoons, and evenings for check-ins, walks, feeding + water refills, etc. Let me know how I can help! I'm happy to work with pet owners on any special needs their pet may need assistance with during visits. Let me know how I can make your space comfortable for your pet while you're away.

“Victoria is amazing, exceeded my expectations for my Tobago’s care. Prior to starting the job she offered an intro to meetup to connect with her new client. Daily She communicated the highlights of the walks and any concerns, keeping me very comfortable. I describe her as an organized animal lover, professional. Thank you... We will always use your services.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and taken care of them in full for my family, friends and neighbors. I love four legged furry friends; giving them walks, playing with them and making them feel comfortable. I have always adopted rescue dogs so have a good sense of how to take care of apprehensive dogs, as well as hyperactive or dogs that need more attention and a patient trainer. I have amateur experience training dogs and have learned tips from my sister who is an experienced dog trainer and dog walker. I have chickens at home and have cared for furry, scaled and feathered friends in the past, I love them all. I am patient and loving when it comes to taking care of animals and hope you will consider me to take care of your best friend(s)! My partner and I have recently lost our best furry friend and I would love a reason to get outside more often with my favorite animal (dogs!) or any animal at all. I currently work full time but am off on Sundays/Mondays as well as evenings. My job allows me to leave midday as needed. If I can plan ahead with a care schedule, I have no issue fitting walks/care as needed. I personally have always had free range dogs, but have experience with free ranging as well as crated dogs. I am comfortable working with contained pets as well; chickens, other birds, snakes, tarantulas etc.

About: Hi, I’m Maria! I’ve always been an animal lover and treat every pet like they’re my own. I have two cats myself (who I’m totally obsessed with), so I understand how important it is to leave your pets in good hands. Whether I’m going for a walk with your pup or keeping your cat company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I pay attention to the little things—every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes them feel comfortable and happy. Caring for cats is a daily routine for me, as I’m the proud owner of two feline companions. I delight in pampering them with treats and expressing my affection through play whenever there are toys at hand. I have two cats of my own who love being in my company, and I’ve frequently cared for my friends’ pets when they’re away. They affectionately refer to me as their pets’ honorary aunt.

“Pam arrived in time and Ralphie instantly loved her. Pam’s personality is awesome and she really knows how to make the pet feel comfortable. She took her time getting to know Ralphie and seemed to really enjoy walking with him. Ralphie seems to have had a great time and I think he really likes Pam.”


“Anna is the best! She is so flexible when my work schedule changes. She lets my puppy out for a long walk everyday at lunch. He loves her and I love the updates she gives. We rebook every week!”

About: Hi, my name is Margaret and I would love to take care of your furry friend! I grew up with dogs and cats of all different sizes. I have years of experience with a variety of dogs and their unique personalities. I am a teacher, so my schedule allows me to give a lot of attention to your dog, especially on the weekends and during the summer break. My husband and I own a house in Murray Hill. Our house has a fenced in backyard. There is also a park just a block from our house that is perfect for running around and playing fetch. We have a labradoodle, Olive, who loves playing with other doggos. We also have an indoor/outdoor cat, Lola, that tolerates being around dogs, as most cats do. I am an elementary school teacher so my schedule is fairly flexible during the school year. Evenings, weekends, holidays, and summers offer me plenty of time to check in and be with your furry friends! I have a playful labradoodle that will keep your pup busy and entertained as well as a dog door to a fenced in backyard that keeps them safe and allows for all the potty breaks. The dog door can be closed off if needed.

About: Just trying to offer affordable care for pets, while I usually work from home I've been caring for pets all my life and know the importance of a loving home. I've had pet dogs, cats, birds, fish, bunnies, and I know the attention they require. I work from home and I have great space to dedicate to visitors. The neighborhood is great for walks to a number of parks within just blocks Indoor space just for pets is ample, I have a great yard, and I am close to parks. Your pets will get the attention they need, inside or out, depending on your preferences.

About: I would love to meet your adorable furry family member(s)! I currently own 9 cats and a dog, the eldest of my babies is 16 years old! I work as a veterinary technician and help foster critically ill kittens for a shelter. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding the services I offer and rates.

Erika is trustworthy, reliable and dependable, a good communicator - always responds to messages and sends me pictures of my furbabies! These are all important qualities to me and are the reasons I recommend Erika to care for your furbabies.”

“Ive known Jamie for close to 5 years now, and in that time we have both helped each other out with our pets. She has regularly helped out with our 4 cats when we were out of town.

We would often get a photo from her fiance of her sitting on the floor surrounded by cats, each one looking for extra scratches and love.”

“Maria is the biggest cat lover I know. She has an obvious care and love for animals to anyone she meets. She’s also extremely responsible and kind, and one of the only people I trust to come to my house when I’m out of town.

She even lets her pet her now which is a huge deal if you know my cat. She will love and care for your pets as her own! I hate leaving my fur baby, but she makes me feel much more at ease.”
