About: I’ve been caring for pets my whole life but really started about 5 years ago. When I was young I would help neighbors, friends, and family with their pets and loved it. From daily walks and feeding to baths and playtime, I treat every pet like my own. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I am understanding that some pets may need extra patience or a lot of activity for a high-energy and playful pup. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved. I’m a graduate student with evening classes only, so I am free throughout the day to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and love! I am able to take pets on long walks in various different areas depending on breed and energy levels for the pet to ensure they have a positive experience!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life for more than 30 years both personally as well as for friends and others. The only issue I’ve ever had was that a dog did not want to go back home but stay with me. I’m currently working on starting my own dog walking alternative with a mobile gym for dogs using slat Mills design specifically for our fur babies Any dog that I work with is treated as if they’re my own each animal is important to me that their health and well-being is taken care of no matter, age size or breed
About: I had a Bichon and took care of him for 15 year, love him so much! He played with me and sleep with me every day I can be at home full time from Friday to Monday, taking care of the dogs, and being flexible for checking on her/him almost anytime I have fenced back yard that dogs can walk and run around, also I have plenty of pets toys that can be provided for dogs
“Dean is great!! Super reliable, communicative and amazing with my dog Dior. I booked Dean superrr last minute this weekend and he responded immediately, kept me updated throughout the walks and I can’t wait to book him again”
About: I treat every dog and puppy like family! I’m loving, patient, and always ready for walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of belly rubs and cuddles! It’s something that I’d like to do, if It’s possible to do it everyday and meet new cuddly friends, I’d love to have that opportunity to help! I’ll make sure they get comfortable with me and that they aren’t scared or timid. That isn’t what I’m there for, I want the pets to know that I am there to care for them so they can have fun!
About: Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and genuinely cared for—even when you’re away. That’s exactly the kind of care I provide. As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets are family. I share my home with my sweet 6-year-old Cavapoo and my gentle 10-year-old Scottish Fold cat, so I know firsthand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Before joining Rover, I worked at Dogtopia, where I cared for groups of up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to understand different personalities, recognize body language, manage dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and ensure every pup feels safe, comfortable, and happy. When I was younger, I babysat and walked dogs for relatives and neighbors. I also know that leaving your pet can be stressful for you, too. That’s why I make communication a priority. You’ll receive regular photo updates, videos, and text messages so you can see your pet enjoying their day and have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands. When I care for your pet, my goal is simple: I want them to feel as comfortable, happy, and loved as they do when they’re with you. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member and become someone you can count on whenever you need an extra helping hand. I am currently on summer break from college. From September 2026, I will be available to work at any time on Monday, Wednesday, Friday afternoon/evenings and Saturday and Sunday. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply quiet companionship, I’ll tailor every visit to their unique personality and routine. I believe every pet deserves individual attention, patience, and lots of affection. That is how I am with my dog Flash and my beautiful cat, Princess Leia. Honestly, no request is too much, my dog and cat both are very particular in their ways.
About: Hi I currently work from home and have a lot of free time on my hands. I have watched over 100 pets with 5 years on Rover. I'm very flexible to accommodate you and your pet in any way. Feel free to reach out if there are any last-minute emergencies. I can come over to pick up and drop off as well. I prefer long stays and will be willing to give a discount for boarding longer than 5 days. I usually take them out for walks 3 - 4 times a day and take them to the dog park if I have time. I usually send pictures and updates to check in with you with their progress. I live on a very quiet street with a lot of grass everywhere. It is a safe clean environment. I do have stairs since I live on the second floor.

“It’s was such a blessing to have Cynthia walk our furry baby Aria during our 17 day trip overseas. She showed to be responsible, reliable and very loving with Aria.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 5 years, including my family dog and family friends’. I love going on walks, bathing, and feeding dogs. I know some tricks to give them medicine if needed. I’m working part-time on Saturdays, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your fur baby throughout the week. I don’t have any time restraints, so feel free to rely on me. I know how to crate dogs, regardless of age, and have a lot of patience since I’ve babysat toddlers before too. I know not all dogs are the same and wait for them to approach first unless there’s an emergency.
About: Every dog has their own personality, and I believe the best care starts with understanding that. Some dogs want to play all day, some need patience and time to trust you, and others are happiest just having someone calmly by their side. I always take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and comfortable. My experience with animals started helping rescue dogs in South America, including dogs that were scared, shy, or came from difficult situations. It taught me patience and how important it is to let an animal trust you at their own pace. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, as well as cats. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, cuddly, independent, or a little nervous with new people, I’ll care for them based on what they need and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care has always been a big part of my daily routine. I care for my own pets every day, so I’m very used to planning my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime and making sure they get the attention they need. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. I understand how important consistency is, so I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including their usual walk times, feeding schedule and any specific instructions you have. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible even when you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously. I always follow the routine and instructions you give me because I want your pet to feel as comfortable and normal as possible while you’re away. I pay close attention to feeding times, walks, medications if needed, playtime and the little things that are specific to your pet. I’m also respectful of your home and will always leave it the way I found it. I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and being well cared for. I care for every pet with the same patience and attention I would want someone to give my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Great Neck
Michelle was wonderful with our two senior rescue dogs! From the very first visit, it was clear she was experienced and comfortable caring for older dogs with different needs. She instinctively knew how to approach them, which immediately put us at ease. We were so impressed after the first visit that we booked her for consecutive walks and weekend drop-in visits. Throughout every visit, Michelle kept us well informed with detailed updates about how the dogs were doing, their walks, meals, potty breaks, and overall behavior. She also shared great photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, the biggest sign of how well she had cared for them was how calm, happy, and settled they were. Everything was just as we had left it, and it was obvious they had been well looked after. Michelle is reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets.
I can’t say enough good things about vivian she is reliable, caring, and truly treat my dog like family. I always feel at ease knowing my pup is in such loving and responsible hands.
