“Taylor is the best and is always prompt. Even in a last minute notice she is there. My pup really enjoys their walks and I’m so thankful for all she does.”
About: I have 5 years of hands-on experience as a veterinary assistant in an animal hospital, caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. From energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs, I’m confident handling a wide range of personalities and medical needs. I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and attentive care, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own! I currently attend college Monday-Thursday during short morning or afternoon hours; typically in class between 8am-12pm or 2pm-6pm. I also work overnights as needed on Fridays and Saturdays (3 shifts a month). When caring for pets in your home, I follow their routine exactly to keep them comfortable and stress free. I make sure they’re safe, well-fed, and get plenty of attention, playtime, and love: just like if you were there.
“Monique is great! She read and listened to our concerns regarding our dog's triggers. She was communicative about her arrival and sent pictures throughout the walk. And she was flexible with the timing on one of the days where the timing worked better for us. Would definitely hire Monique again!”
About: My friends would say my love for animals is one of my most defining features. If you look at my social media explore pages or scroll through my camera roll, it is genuinely just an endless album of adorable dogs and cats I've encountered everywhere. Animals bring me joy that I don’t think can be replicated in another way and it always makes my day whenever I just pass by one. I love wholesomeness and with that said I sincerely care about providing the best possible care, endless affection, and a safe, happy environment for every pet I have the privilege of looking after. It brings me so much unfathomable joy to do what I love most as a hobby as a job. As a part-time student, I have a flexible schedule with a lot of free time on days I don't have classes. This gives me alot of time to schedule pet care into my routine! I like to be a patient and attentive caregiver, understanding that every pet has unique needs and preferences, whether it's during meal times or grooming. I'll actively monitor their environment to ensure their safety and well-being and will always reach out to you if I have any concerns.

Great Kills dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was my very first time using Rover, and Taylor made the entire experience so incredibly easy and stress-free. From the moment we connected, she was warm, professional, and reassuring. She kept me updated at all times, sent plenty of adorable pictures, and truly treated my pup, Prince, like her own. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed me to completely relax, and I genuinely appreciated the attention, patience, and kindness Taylor showed him. I couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience, and I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust with my fur baby. Thank you, Taylor, for taking such amazing care of Prince!
Jay is the best! Even before Jay took him out for the first time, I knew he was in great hands. In the complementary meet and greet and over text, Jay asked so many questions that showed me that they were really invested in Harry’s success and knew the right questions to ask about a dog with complex behavioral issues like Harry. Since she started walking my dog, everything has been so smooth. She is extremely reliable and always very gentle with Harry. I would highly recommend Jay for any of your dog care needs.
Tammy is truly amazing!!!! With a reactive dog trying to have a meet and greet or find a walker can be exhausting for us humans and them. Tammy followed my instructions and her instincts making the experiences the best they could possibly be. Ivy and I are so lucky to have found her!!
Noelle is an absolute gem! This was her first meeting with Finn, and it couldn’t have gone better. From the moment they met, it was clear she has a natural way with dogs—Finn instantly adored her! Not only does she make sure Finn gets plenty of exercise, but she also keeps me updated with adorable photos, which gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in such loving hands. She’s reliable, friendly, and truly goes the extra mile to make sure Finn is happy and well cared for. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, caring, and all-around wonderful dog walker, Noelle is the one! Highly recommend!
