About: Nothing is more important than your furbaby’s safety and happiness! For dogs, I understand leash control, situational awareness, and the value of structured walks. I’m happy to follow your handling instructions so your pet’s routine stays consistent. I have completed clicker training along with foundation and advanced canine fitness courses. For cats, I know they need gentle, calm, and stress-free care. I have experience caring for cats with different personalities and am familiar with cat behavior and body language. I provide reliable drop-in visits that prioritize your cat’s comfort and individual needs. I have a lot of hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all temperaments. I read their body language well and know how to help them feel relaxed and at ease in new situations. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available on weekends from 8am–4pm, and weekdays work too with at least one day’s notice. Tell me what times you’re looking for, and I’ll accommodate as much as possible. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and cat sitting services. Dogs get structured walks with time to sniff and light play. Cats receive interactive play, enrichment, and calm attention based on what they enjoy. I always follow the owner’s instructions and respect each pet’s comfort level. Feeding is included as part of your pet’s regular routine, and my focus is on keeping pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free.

About: From the moment I first encountered a playful pup at the age of nine, my heart was forever captured by dogs' boundless joy and unwavering loyalty. Since then, my life has been enriched by countless furry companions, each leaving an indelible pawprint on my heart. As I embarked on my journey in pet care, I discovered the profound joy of nurturing these loving creatures and the immeasurable rewards of companionship and connection. I have plenty of time to help take care of animals. I am also flexible on weekends. Would be able to walk your pet midday and evenings. Mornings are tough time for my availability. I am experienced with setting up a routine schedule for a pet: morning bathroom break, midday, and evening. Lunch and dinner are typically done first thing in the morning and evening. A morning walk or evening walk also works. Routines are great for animals.
About: From having family dogs since I was a kid, to being hired as a reccurring sitter and walker for years for many clients/friends, and now owning 2 dogs of my own, I’m constantly with a furry companion and I wouldn’t want to live any other way. I love being outside, especially with my pups, so if your dog needs to get out and roam on some adventures I’m always up for a walk or some fetch, rain (especially rain), or shine. I’m also a big fan of lap dogs no matter what shape or size so if your pooch is a bit of a home body, and just needs some belly rubs or someone to sit with and talk their ear off, I’m your guy. I work part time during the week, most often Tuesday-Thursday starting at 9 am. I can flex my schedule to meet your schedule if you need an early morning walk or pop in as well as afternoons and evenings Having 2 dogs ourselves, my wife and I are very aware of things like doors being left open, or food being reached. We are hyper vigilant when it comes to our dogs safety as well as others. We always leash our dogs!

About: I've had rescue dogs who were able to live long healthy lives under my care. I don't currently have any animals of my own but while I was in graduate school I also helped care for my dads dogs. When I was a teenager, I worked at a kids camp and took care of horses during the summers. I've also had cats, a rabbit, ferrets, and a hedgehog. I've also volunteered at farm sanctuaries quite a bit working with all kinds of animals including pigs, goats, sheep, and more. I've house sat for people with cats, dogs, and even a sugar glider. I also have experience administering medications to animals big and small. I work four 10 hour shifts per week from 4pm-2:30am. The days that I work vary each week. I'd love to check in on pets or watch them for the day on my days off. Pets can have free range in my apartment and there is a small backyard area that is unfenced. If I'm staying at your home, I'll do my best to keep pets on their normal routine and give them as much love as possible
About: I own a shitzu back home and have fallen in love with dogs ever since! I’m an active person myself and will ensure your dog will have a good workout.

It is fulfilling to see a dog enjoying their time in the outdoors as there’s so much beauty outside! Your dog will thank you for it. I respect that all owners are different and will respect your choice of methods in working with your dog.

“Chad came and hung out with Julep while my fiance and I got married! We knew we would be out most of the day so booked him to check in on her and it was so so nice to know she was taken care of so I could focus on the wedding. Thanks again Chad! You da best!”

“My cat is very shy when it comes to meeting new people. As expected, she hid when Rachael came for a meet & greet, but she came out from hiding much quicker than anticipated and even allowed Rachael to pet her. I felt comfortable leaving her in Rachael’s care knowing she was comfortable with a new person!”

“Shauna was great with my two cats. On her drop in visits she respected the very shy personality of one of my cats, and gave lots of love to my other more people loving cat. I especially appreciated the care she took with my asthmatic cat, to do her best to give him his medicine even when he was a little difficult.”

“Another great booking with Angela! She is communicative, friendly, easy to work with and so great with my cat, I loved all the pics/videos she took for me and I will definitely book with her again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Government Island
Allison goes above and beyond while taking care of our kitties when we are away. They're always so content when we get back from a trip because they got to spend time with someone who enjoys them and plays with them. Allison sends photos and updates, which makes our time away go by without worry - or guilt. Highly recommend!!!

My partner, pets, and I adore Max! They were communicative, on time, and took special care of our cat, Chalcy, while we were away. Chalcy really enjoyed hanging out with Max, felt less anxious about being apart, and got extra treats. Plus, my place seemed cleaner than when I left. Thanks, Max!

This is the first time I have used Avery for the sitting of my two cats Ozzy and Luke. Avery came into my life at a time where I had Medical concerns that needed by full attention and to know that my boys were taken care of twice a day and with the utmost care meant everything to me. She even did little tasks around the house that kept my home running when I was not there to oversee it. In my mind she went above and beyond. You cannot go wrong with choosing Avery and she is very conscientious caring and responsible! I have ended up moving away and may not see much of her going forward but I think we will be staying close friends now and into the future! She's that kind of person! Thank you Avery!
I can’t say enough good things about Maria. From our initial meet and greet to the very end, Maria was reliable, communicative, and clearly passionate about dogs. Maria took the time to understand Willow’s routine, personality, and needs, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We received detailed Rover Cards and lots of lovely pictures of Willow. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly kind with animals, I would absolutely recommend Maria without hesitation. We’ll definitely be booking again!
