About: While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have lived with and cared for plenty. Caring for them taught me the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and paying attention to a dog’s individual needs and personality. What sets me apart is that I’ll treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m dependable, active, and genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors, so whether your dog prefers a leisurely stroll or a more energetic walk, I’ll make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m excited to build lasting relationships with both pets and their owners by being reliable, communicative, and providing safe, loving care every time. I am flexible and available through out the day Mondays Fridays and Weekends as well as most week nights. Can always move things around if need be. I live in a large house in Long Beach New York, with plenty of room inside, as well as the beach to accommodate any dog.
About: I've cared for pets my whole life and enjoy doing so. Before losing by beloved fur son last year, I would walk him and my cousins dog when he would go out of town. Along with the dogs and cats I've encountered, I strongly prioritized providing them with mental stimulation. Walking and challenging play is essential to their wellbeing and I've encouraged friends with pets to do more on their behalf. As an afterschool tennis coach, the flexibility and active work would be best for my shift at 1:30pm and after 6pm. I also work at a food delivery company part-time Wed & Friday 9pm to 2am and Sundays from 4pm to 9pm. This kind of work keeps me engaged and on my feet and allows me to pay attention to details and slow down a bit. I love being nurturing and taking time to shell the flowers! I follow the owners strict diets and regiments for their fur babies and keep things tidy. I respect the pet as I would any adult or pet of my own by keeping a close eye on them and developing a loving and trusted relationship.

“Jane was not only wonderful with our dogs, but proved extremely reliable during an extended weekend where we were out of town and all of our discussed plans were disrupted by the unforeseen—storms, road closures, etc. She provided clear and timely communication in dealing with changes, and we quickly felt comfortable trusting her best judgment to both attend to and care for our two dogs.”
“I can't thank Aniyah enough for taking such wonderful care of my pups while I was out of town! It gave me so much peace of mind to know they were in such kind, capable hands. The updates, photos, and attention to detail were all fantastic — it was clear my dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I came home to two very content (and well-exercised!) pups. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again in the future. Thank you!! 🐾”
About: I have been around and caring for dogs of all kinds since I was 8 years old, and animals have always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve had experience with different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and ages, which has helped me become comfortable and confident in providing loving care tailored to each dog’s needs. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have also watched dogs for family and friends, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I genuinely love animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. I also go on several long walks each day, so providing dogs with plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention is something that comes naturally to me. Whether it’s a fun walk, a drop-in visit, or extra companionship, I will treat your dog with the same love and care I would give my own. As a remote professional with a flexible schedule, I’m available for reliable weekday and midday dog walks to help keep your pup happy, active, and on their routine. This allows me to easily make time for walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. Since I already take several long walks daily, incorporating dog walks into my routine is something I truly enjoy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make it my priority to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate or sleep routines, and any special preferences the pet may have. I make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship during each visit. I also treat every home with the utmost respect, keeping the space clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I always double-check that doors, gates, and crates are safely closed before leaving to ensure your pet’s safety and your peace of mind. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care so your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment.

That’s why when your pup stays with us they aren’t just “guest dogs” they become a part of our family too. Plus there’s two of us so this means TWICE the love and attention of a regular sitter :) A little bit about us: We are the proud “aunt and uncle” to our family dogs, West and Sadie. We’ve added them to our profile so you can get to know more about them there. While they don’t live with us they visit us often and they are very friendly, so if they happen to be over during your pups stay, that just means more friends to play with! I am currently a nursing student in my last semester and my husband works in sales! So one of the biggest perks of booking with us is that our schedules are flexible. At least one of us is always home. So your pup will have constant companionship, potty breaks and plenty of belly rubs thought the day. We also have a large fully fenced yard that’s perfect for zoomies or a game of fetch! We want you to have total peace of mind when you book with us, so we offer meet and greets prior to booking, as well as regular updates, photos and videos of all the fun your dog is having. We can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! Seamlessly because we are home based and flexible. Between the two of us, your dog will have constant supervision and a routine tailored to their needs! We live in a fully fenced home so your pup has full access to a safe fenced yard for supervised play of course. Because Brandon and I are home, your pup gets a perfect balance of activity and rest.
