“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.”

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: I’ve been around pets since childhood and caring for them has always been part of my daily life. From feeding and walking to playtime and companionship, I understand what pets need to feel secure and loved. I’m attentive, reliable, and truly enjoy caring for animals. Since I’ve had pets since childhood, caring for them is part of my everyday life. I’m used to structuring my day around pet needs—morning and evening care, regular walks, playtime, and companionship—so adding another pet to my routine feels seamless. I follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, play, and rest. In my home, I provide a safe, calm environment with close supervision. In a client’s home, I maintain their routine and make sure they feel comfortable and secure.

About: My partner Erick and I have spent our whole lives having and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, energetic dogs to the shy and skittish , and everything in between. We treat every pet like our own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. We both have school at the moment, but we have conflicting schedules so either one of us or we both are readily available for boarding, drop-in’s, walks and house sitting! We follow your pets’ routine closely. meals, walks, playtime, and cuddle breaks, so everything feels familiar and stress‑free for them. One of us is always checking in, whether it’s for extra potty breaks, fresh water, or just a little extra attention when they need it.
Garden City South dog parents share their Rover experiences
Julia was absolutely amazing. We booked her to feed and walk our golden Doc. She went above and beyond, taking care of our house and packages and even spending extra time with Doc to keep him company. She updated us every day after each walk, sending photos and messages. Julia is so kind and clearly has a love for animals. It was nice to know our pup was in such great care while we were away. Thank you Julia!!
"I highly recommend Diane, she is incredibly reliable and always arrives on time for every walk. She also keeps me updated with pictures and notes, which gives me great peace of mind when I'm not home. Ginger loves her and looks forward to their walks. She is gentle, patient, and clearly knows how to handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I'm so grateful to have found Diane.
Great experience. John arrived a few minutes early for our appointment so that we could all meet for the first time. Ginger took to him immediately. Unfortunately, it started to rain so Ginger decided she'd had enough and brought John home. He towel dried her when they returned. Caring and friendly. Thank you, John.
