About: I’ve always had pets of my own and have been caring for animals for family, friends, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. I’m experienced with kittens, adult pets, and senior or medically complex animals, including providing around-the-clock hospice care for my own beloved cat after his ataxia diagnosis. I currently share my home with Leon, my one-year-old cat, and Chicken, my 26+ year-old African Grey parrot—both rescues (Chicken was found abandoned and taken in) and very loved. I love caring for pets—cats, dogs, and birds of all types and sizes—and I’m happy to welcome other small animals too, just let me know! I treat every pet with patience, attention, and affection, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I work from home and my schedule is flexible. My goal is always to schedule any services based on the needs of you and your pet(s). I will always follow any instructions on how you prefer your pet to be cared for. Otherwise, I will always care for them in the safest and healthiest way available. The same way I care for my own pets. Leon is an indoor kitty with unlimited access to fresh air and sunshine from his lounging cots attached to our large windows. He loves his wet food, and his meals are on a “flexible” schedule, and no all day grazing. He receives lots of playtime with his humans and more independently. Of course, he gets brushed, not always with a happy purr, but he gets as much as he will tolerate.
“Paula is amazing! She has such a kind, gentle presence. My little pug loved her instantly, and was sad to see her go. This is a top notch animal lover, highly recommend!!”
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up with a small menagerie of pets. I also took care of my neighbors' dogs when they traveled. When I was 13, I started volunteering at my local animal shelter, where I learned how to handle cats and dogs with different levels of socialization. As an adult, I adopted a dog with severe separation anxiety and later managed his other health issues as a senior. I also rescued a feral kitten from the street and then foster failed with another kitten. So if your pet is a rescue and/or nervous around strangers, I will be sure to treat them with extra patience and care. I have a fairly flexible schedule at the moment, so I'm available for both one-time and recurring care for your pets. I would love to make their care part of my routine! It is important that your pet feels safe and like their routine is minimally interrupted while in my care. While I may be a new face, I will be sure to stick to your instructions regarding their routine.
“Justine was great! My pups are usually pretty skiddish but they got comfortable with her pretty quickly which put me at ease. She was very patient with my high anxiety pup and had no problem walking with her. I'm looking forward to booking her again!”
About: My three dogs live with my parents in another country, forcedly. I bathed them myself, cut them and gave them injections if treatment was necessary. The older dog gave birth to puppies, and I raised them. I treat dogs like family members. I temporarily have free time due to moving. There is time for proper care and attention for your pet. Additionally, additional care, hygiene, etc. can be discussed. My daughter is 16 years old, she also loves dogs, she will be able to walk your pet, and will also teach some commands at your request. If the owner wishes, your pet can be given a bath.
About: My name is Andrea, I am 39 years old and I work full time at home. I have a 15 year old daughter and we previously had 3 pets, who have since died of old age. I have taken in many animals over the years and love for them like my own. The positive thing about working from home is that the dogs are rarely alone. I can assure you that your dogs with be very well cared for while you are away! :) About this sitter: Along with pet sitting in my home, I would also be happy to care for your pets in your home as well. Whatever you need, I am here to make this experience the best for your dogs , and to ensure they are cared for and happy! About my yard I live in a nice walking friendly neighborhood and will take your pets on lots of nice walks. I am home all day working from my computer, and will bring your pets out every few hours and play with them throughout the day. I work from home and am there with them all day. I am very active so I do take a lot of walks with your dogs and can also bring them to the park if you’d like! I have a 3 bedroom apartment and your pets are free to roam in all areas. On walks, they will be on a leash at all times and I typically walk away from other people/pets so that there is no potential problem.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life! Since my very first Boxer, Roxy, I’ve been completely in love with the companionship of dogs. In fact, I raised my own dog, Rambo, from a puppy, and he still lives with me today! As a fellow dog owner, I know firsthand how challenging it can sometimes be to juggle everything that comes with having a pet. Let me help ease those worries and be there for you when you need a hand! I absolutely love everything about animals and can’t wait to meet your pup soon! I live super close to the beach and several great dog parks. I’m very attentive to each owner’s preferences for how and where their dog should be walked, and I’ll always check in to make sure your pup gets the care that suits them best. Since I’m a long-distance runner, I’m more than happy (and able!) to give your dog as much exercise as they need! I'm super flexible and easygoing, but I do have to be strict about overnight dog-sitting cancellations to keep things fair for everyone. That said, if we set up a plan to walk your pup, you can count on me, I’d never miss it! 😊 Your pet's happiness means so much to me! I won’t be able to provide house-sitting services, but I do have a park very close to my home where I can take your dog for walks and, with your permission, even enjoy some playtime in the dog park! Rest assured, I’ll be the only one caring for your dog, so you can feel completely at ease!
“John was extremely good with the dogs, very knowledgeable on handling them. Communication was excellent and John was very flexible with walking them. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.”
“Alexis is by far the best walker I’ve ever used. I have a cat that I walk on leash and she can be super fearful of new people. She’s never let anyone other than myself or Alexis put her into her harness. That’s when I knew this walker was a keeper. Will gladly rebook (and tip) anytime!”
“Sarah took great care of my dog and cat - it's so nice to be able to go away and know that they will be fine. I also appreciated Sarah's kind patience with a last-minute change of plans. Many thanks!”
“Highly recommend Mindy for looking after your fur babies! She’s detail oriented, great about following routines, and genuinely loves animals. Whenever we leave our cat and dog at home with her, I trust that she’s going to look after them as if they’re her own. Thanks Mindy (:”
About: I am a pre-vet student set to graduate with my bachelor's degree next year. I have taken care of many animals my entire life, I have had over 5 of my own (2 dogs, 5 cats, and a bearded dragon)! I currently work at an ER veterinary clinic and I have about a year of experience in general practice veterinary medicine, as well. I am extremely passionate about animals and I truly believe becoming a veterinarian is my calling. I promise to care for all fur babies as if they are my own 🩷 I currently work at a vet clinic, but I will make sure to make time for your furry friends! Animal care is my passion :) I have four cats, always willing to play! If your pet gets along with other pets, they are more than welcome to stay at my house!
“I’m so grateful to Maddie for walking our mastiff-mix. She is very sweet, calm, dependable and was the perfect match for our big and sometimes-reactive big dog. Thank you, Maddie. We look forward to booking you again!”
About: I currently have a black and tan dachshund, and I used to have a lab/ bordercollie mix! Raised both dogs from around 5 weeks old. So lots of experience with puppies and finding the best care for them! I just wanna be the fun dog auntie and I genuinely just want an excuse to be around lots of doggies! I am currently self employed so I am in charge of my schedule. I'm happy to accommodate to whenever you would need me! I'm very easy going and flexible! I don't have a fence and I do have stairs to my apartment. But I am in a very quiet neighborhood. Lots of places to walk, lots of trees and grass. Great spots to hike as well!
About: German shepherds have been living with my family for decades. Loyal dogs to whom I'm grateful. Meeting new friends is fun, and opportunities to walk together are welcome. I'm currently in study mode. Got a certificate after months of work. To get out and meet new pets and people sounds good. I'm taking online classess, and spending some time to look for work in my field. Which are low-voltage & networking. So going for walks is a welcome activity. I used to live in a country-side house. The dogs would mostly take care of themselves. Except for the feeding, grooming, cleaning parts. I like meeting new friends, and I would inquire about the pets' preferences; the owners' too.
“Our baby isn't used to being walked by anyone else - although he was stubborn about walking with Sean, Sean was great about keeping in text contact, giving him a bathroom break, and playing with him in the house. Thank you Sean for doing a great job with our large puppy!!!”
About: My baby is a 105 pound german shepherd and she is my best friend! I’m always the friends and family dog sitter, truly enjoy thw company of animals over anything:) Im currently enrolled in an online nursing school so i have plenty of time during the day to take care of someone’s baby! I love all sorts of animals and especially dogs so it’s my dream job to be able to take care of one. I own a very needy german shepherd and she is very spoiled! so i can ensure that i will take the best care of ur pet and keep them happy and comfortable.
Grand Central dog parents share their Rover experiences
John has been an amazing help with our two dogs. He asks all the right questions to make sure he is as prepared as possible to provide the services needed. Communication is prompt and consistent which provides a level of peace knowing that my dogs are under his care.
Spencer is incredible! He’s been walking my dog Buffalo, and I couldn't be happier. He’s extremely punctual and has fast communication, which makes scheduling a breeze. It’s so reassuring that he owns the same breed; he truly understands their energy levels and how to handle them on a leash. He’s a total natural, and Buffalo always comes back happy!
Ryan is wonderful! Before and during his visits, he was great about communication. He offered to have a meet-n-greet, before we booked, and he truly understands the needs of senior pets. We will definitely be working with Ryan for both of our pets, as long as he's in the biz!
Michelle was the best thing for rookie, she made sure to help him feel comfortable and confident around other dogs as he has gotten so much better with reactivity. She updated me on how he was progressing and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care :) 10/10 would recommend !!
April was great to work with. She made everything easy, kept us updated with regular messages and photos, and clearly took great care of our dog. I felt completely comfortable knowing everything was handled, and it was obvious she’s both professional and genuinely cares. Would absolutely book her again.
I couldn’t be more thankful to have found Tamar as our new dog walker! It was my first time using Rover, as my pup Lainey is quite shy at first, and takes a bit of time to warm up to new people. However, Tamar immediately put her at ease with her patience and kindness. By the end of their first walk, Lainey had found a new best friend. It’s so rare for Laines to get comfy so quickly! We had fantastic communication from the start, which put me at ease as well. Tamar is a reliable, friendly, thoughtful, and overall fantastic person to have taking care of any pet! I’m so glad Lainey is so happy when they’re hanging out, and I have someone trustworthy I can turn to when I need extra help.
Ryan was an excellent dog sitter! He was kind, friendly, and very attentive to my dog’s needs. From the beginning, he was easy to communicate with and made me feel comfortable leaving my pet in his care. Ryan clearly enjoys working with animals and treated my dog with patience and care. I really appreciated his reliability and positive attitude. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and friendly dog sitter.
All my reactive dog parents can understand how truly impossible it can feel at times to find someone who is comfortable handling an anxious and sometimes explosive dog. And because of this, I only let a few close family members handle my dog. But that wasn’t an option when I got sick…so thank god for Mandy! We did a meet and greet at our local park and they took the time to get to know Ludo, his triggers and temperament, and was incredibly respectful of our positive reinforcement training. They truly have a gift for animals and I cannot thank them enough for taking good care of my guy. So if you have a reactive dog and need someone you can trust to show up with compassion, patience, and professionalism…choose Mandy!
Eva is the consummate professional. She is reliable, communicative, and truly wonderful with both people and dogs. From the start, we felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such capable hands. We’ve absolutely found our go-to dog expert and will be booking with her again!
