Dog Walking Grand Central

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.

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.

About: I’ve always had a dog in the family growing up so i have experience walking and taking care of them. I love Animals with a passion and would be happy to walk with your precious family members because dogs are family members as well I’m currently working and my schedule changes from morning shifts to night shifts but i would be able to work around it with a heads up. i have a dog of my own and walk her mornings and nights as it is so it wouldn’t be hard to find time I would care for pets the way you would care for a child. i have a secure place to have doggy’s in my home. But for the most part i will be walking with your fur babies

“Great companion for my German shepherd!”

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.

“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!”

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.

“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.”

“Sean took the time to come meet us and the dogs before we left town, which we really appreciated. He was easy going and punctual to the committed time. They got a good walk in and were happy on their return. We'll definitely call on Sean again!”

“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!”

“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: Since childhood, I’ve always had pets. My mom taught me to love and care for them, and to see them not just as animals but as part of the family. I’m a stay-at-home mom, but my child goes to daycare, so I have time to take care of and walk your pets. And I’m flexible I stay at home all day, so I can give your child my full attention—playing, cuddling, and doing everything they need to feel loved and not miss you too much while you’re away.

“Emily is the best! She’s communicative, reliable, and even better so great with my pup.”

“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!”

With 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I understand that every pup has their own unique personality and needs. I’m excited to be back on Rover and meeting and connecting with all fur friends!

Caring for pets in someone else's home while dog sitting requires attentiveness, responsibility, and a genuine love for animals. Here are some key steps to ensure you provide excellent care: Learning about the pet Provide companionship Gather favorite toys Follow house rules Update the owners Monitor health

About: Hi! I'm McKenna, an Animal Science graduate and future UC Davis veterinary student with over 2,700 hours of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine, including emergency and oncology care. I've cared for animals of all sizes—from small cats and dogs to large animals—and have experience supporting pets with pre-existing medical conditions and special care needs. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications, giving subcutaneous fluids when prescribed by a veterinarian, and monitoring pets closely for any changes in behavior or wellbeing. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires extra attention, my goal is to provide safe, compassionate care and give you peace of mind while you're away. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily routine—I work as a veterinary technician, so animal care is what I do professionally every day, and I also care for my four cats at home. I’m already used to managing structured feeding schedules, medication routines, litter box care, enrichment, and monitoring behavior and health changes. Because of this, I’m highly organized, reliable, and comfortable incorporating additional pet care visits seamlessly into my day. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my highest priority. As a veterinary technician with clinical experience, I’m trained to observe subtle changes in behavior, appetite, and overall condition, and to act quickly if something seems off. I follow all care instructions closely, ensure secure handling during visits, and maintain a calm, low-stress environment—especially important for cats. I also make sure doors, windows, and environments are checked carefully so your pet stays safe and comfortable while you’re away.
