Lisa was great! She was very focused on learning every detail she could about Malcolm ahead of the walk, and even came to meet us before we confirmed. It was a nasty, cold rainy day and Lisa showed up on time, with a smile and ready to roll! We will definitely be seeing her again!

About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 20 years. I’ve had a Britney spaniel and a cavalier King Charles spaniel. The Britney spaniel lived till she was 18 years old so I am very familiar with senior dog care and the special tasks that they require. I am currently an owner of two dogs a chocolate lab and a cava poo. The chocolate lab is seven years old and the cava poo just turned one years old. I am familiar and comfortable walking dogs of any size whether they are small and 10 pounds or 80 pounds plus. I am a teacher and I work from 8 AM to 4 PM Monday through Friday. I am primarily available to walk dogs after work so that would be between 4:30 PM and 10 PM. I am unavailable to walk dogs currently on Monday’s and Wednesdays because I am in grad school I have class after work. I am available on the weekends all day, I have no work commitments. For my own two dogs, they get walked three times a day and fed twice a day. They have yearly vet visits, depending on what vaccines or check ups that are needed. They go to the groomer based on need, the Cava Poo goes every six weeks and the chocolate lab goes every couple months. I’ve taken care of dogs in my neighborhood and have followed their walking and care instructions to the greatest detail possible.

About: I will treat any pet as if they were my own. Pets are a part of our family and I believe in treating them as such. I have cared for all ages of animals, from day old kittens to senior dogs and cats. Nothing is too much for me to do! My weekly routine typically only consists of being a student, and taking care of my pets. However, it is currently summer, and with school being out I have open availability! My home has a fenced in front and backyard area where my dogs would play. My cats have a screened in catio attached to the back area of my house! Both my dogs and cats are fed a mix of raw and kibble food.

Alexis was amazing with our new puppy who is still learning how to walk, not jump, etc. She was always patient and willing to be flexible if our pup wouldn’t walk, playing with him in the yard instead. She is reliable and on time. We highly recommend Alexis!

About: Hi, I'm Bridget! Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier and have spent years caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. In December 2019, I adopted my senior rescue dog, Abbott, a Chihuahua mix who quickly became my best friend and constant companion. She passed away in March 2026, and caring for her through her senior years taught me so much about patience, compassion, and attentive pet care. I currently have a 2-year-old rescue pup named Clover, who is incredibly sweet and keeps me smiling every day. I'm a licensed therapist by profession, which means I bring patience, reliability, strong communication skills, and a calm presence to every interaction—both with pets and their humans. My husband and I recently moved to Long Island for his medical residency, but I'm not new to Rover. I've been dog walking and pet sitting through Rover for years while living in Washington, DC and Philadelphia, and I've loved building relationships with pets and their families along the way. I'm an active person and enjoy walking, running, and spending time outdoors. Whether your dog prefers a leisurely stroll, a brisk walk, or a jogging companion to burn off extra energy, I'm happy to tailor our time together to their needs. When caring for your pet, I treat them like one of my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else's hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. You can expect dependable care, regular updates, and plenty of photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and loved. I can't wait to meet you and your pup! I recently relocated to Long Island and currently have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the day. Once I return to my full-time therapy practice, I will continue to offer flexible scheduling, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and many daytime appointments. Feel free to reach out—even if your request falls outside my listed availability, I may still be able to accommodate it! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As both a dog owner and experienced Rover sitter, I understand how important it is to know your pet is in caring and capable hands. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, triggers, and preferences so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. During walks and visits, I remain attentive to my surroundings, follow all owner instructions carefully, and prioritize safe handling practices at all times.

About: With over 27 years of hands-on experience in animal care, I have dedicated much of my life to nurturing, raising, and understanding the needs of a wide variety of animals. From a young age, I was immersed in environments that required consistent, compassionate care for pets, developing a deep-rooted passion and natural intuition for animal welfare. Throughout the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in feeding, grooming, administering basic medications, and observing animal behavior for signs of distress or illness. My approach is always centered around patience, empathy, and attention to individual needs—ensuring that every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. I currently have a beloved fur baby of my own, who receives the highest standard of care and attention. This personal commitment reflects the level of dedication I bring to all animals under my supervision. Whether it’s routine care or emotional comfort, I pride myself on creating a nurturing and structured environment for every animal. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver, pets are an integral part of my everyday life. My home is not just a place for my own beloved fur baby—it's a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment for any pet in my care. Because of my personal commitment to animal well-being, I’m home the majority of the time, which allows me to provide constant supervision, companionship, and routine check-ins throughout the day. When boarding with me, your pet will experience a comfortable, secure, and engaging home environment—both indoors and outdoors. Inside, pets enjoy a cozy, climate-controlled space where they are treated like family. I maintain a clean and organized home, with designated pet-friendly areas for rest, play, and feeding. Whether your fur baby prefers quiet time or interactive play, I tailor the indoor experience to meet their individual needs, including any special care routines or accommodations. Outdoors, your pet will have access to a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe exploration, exercise, and fresh air. The space is ideal for dogs who love to run, play fetch, or simply lounge in the sun. Supervised outdoor time is incorporated into the daily routine, ensuring plenty of opportunities for physical activity and mental stimulation. In addition, I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who can serve as a playful companion if your pet enjoys the company of others. However, I also understand that not all pets are social butterflies, and I am fully prepared to keep them separated to ensure a calm and stress-free environment for everyone. Whether your pet thrives on companionship or prefers their own space, I adapt to what makes them most comfortable and secure.

About: My main service is cat boarding! I have everything for every type of cat! I have wall perches and beds for cats who like to climb, I have tons of cat safe places for a shy cat to hide, and I have probably 10 different cat trees and scratch towers, and of course an endless amount of toys! My house is also always 100% dog free! My home is basically a kitty wonderland 🐈‍⬛ ⭐️ I NEVER board or sit dogs in my own home. My house is 100% dog free 365 days of the year! I know this is very important to some cat parents! ⭐️ I’m currently not available for any dog sitting or drop in services! I mainly specialize in cat care at this current moment! I don’t have dogs in my home, so if you’re looking for a cat sitter without dogs, I’m a good pick! I have cared for dozens of cats between sitting, boarding, and fostering. I have experience with cats with all different temperaments. If your cat prefers to hide for days at a time, or bounces off the walls at 3 am, I’ve seen it all!

Anna did a great job walking our dog while we were away on vacation. Despite the snow and freezing temperatures, she walked her for the full 30 minutes twice a day every day. She was very flexible when I asked her to pick the dog up at a different location and communicated a bunch of times to update me on how things were going. I highly recommend using Anna.
