“Such a delight to work with. She’s an effective and quick communicator. Super accommodating to your needs and needs of your pet. Alicia was flexible and made both of our schedules work. My dog, Fiona, took a liking to her immediately. Fiona could sense that Alicia is a good person and someone she can trust. Alicia was gentle with Fiona, so I could easily feel safe with her in Alicia’s care. I am currently injured with limited mobility, so Aleicia was also attentive to my needs and helped me out in the best way she could. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart because I have been so worried about providing Fiona with a regular walk schedule and proper exercise and she took a lot of weight off my shoulders. THANK YOU SO MUCH, Alicia!!! She went above and beyond for myself and my fur baby to provide an incredible and easy experience. She will be the only reason that I will continue to use Rover in the future.”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and have real hands on experience with animals of different ages, from young energetic dogs to seniors who need a slower, more attentive pace. I'm comfortable reading dog behavior and adjusting how I interact based on what each individual animal needs. Beyond experience, I genuinely enjoy it. This isn't a side job I'm indifferent to. I'm a nutrition science student which means I'm detail oriented and take health and wellness seriously, for people and animals. I notice things, I communicate well, and I show up the same way every time. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I'm genuinely a dog person, not just someone who works with animals. This summer I'm based in Harlem full-time, so I'm available for walks, drop ins, and sitting throughout the day. I keep a consistent schedule and I'm flexible with timing; mornings, afternoons, and evenings all work. Dogs get my full attention, not a rushed visit. I treat every home I'm in with real respect. I keep things tidy, stick to the routines the owner sets, and make sure pets feel settled and safe rather than anxious. I'm experienced with dogs of different ages and temperaments, and I pay attention to their individual cues rather than applying a one size fits all approach. If something comes up like behavior, health, or anything unexpected, I communicate right away. Owners shouldn't have to wonder how their pet is doing.
About: I have open availability 🥰❤️ I’m a crazy animal lover. I’ve been loving animals since the day I was born, and since I can’t own any pets of my own. I decided it would be best to work with animals and I definitely love it because I get a chance to treat them as if they are my own. :) -experience, skills, qualifications- Worked at Sean Casey Animal Rescue for a year. It was the best time of my life. I learned so much. I had to deal with every animal you could think of, from dogs to cats, reptiles, hamsters, birds, and bunnies. However, I spent the majority of my time taking care of dogs, and cats. Walking dogs, training them basic commands, and grooming. I have skills set in basic training, oral medication I learned over the 10 years, so I've got you covered in that area! My biggest thing for my clients is that they trust me, meet and greets are for free, so please take advantage of that! I want to have a relationship with you, I want to trust you, I want you, family (family including fur babies) to trust me. Not only that, if you ever need someone to walk, drop-in, or house sit even if it's for 3 days, I want you to know that I'm here. If there's no trust, there's no happy client. My goal is to make my clients happy. I have open availability :) as long as I do not have any gigs or anything of the sort, my availability is pretty open. Thank you :) I’m extremely vigilant when it comes to my care. I think that’s due to my trauma mixed in with my anxiety and depression (don’t mind me just making fun of myself 🤪) but, I also communicate everything when it comes to your pets! :)
“Anne is so amazing with our dog. He has a lot of annxiety and she was so patient and loving with him. She also takes great pictures on the walk, which we appreciate so much, and writes a thorough report card. She’s very communicative and gave both our dog and us the best care. We highly recommend her and will be using her in the future!”

“We had a great experience with Prachi! She was reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of our dogs and cats while we were away. We appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were happy and well cared for. As newcomers to the city, we’re happy to have found someone we can reach out to for future pet care needs! 💛”

“Kristian was so professional and easy to communicate with. He never made me feel annoying sending a bunch of messages and checking in. I would definitely say that he was the most professional and confident dog person I've connected with through rover. I am happy we found him!”


“This was our first time using Rover and a dog walker and Brittany is now Quincy’s new special friend! We appreciate so much her willingness to come to meet Q ahead of the first walk/visit. Great experience and we feel very fortunate to have found Brittany to trust Q with. We are so grateful!”

“Drew is fantastic! He offered to meet Mavi the day before the walk and it really helped to establish familiarity. She came back so happy. I know who to contact in the future 🙌🏼”

“Marin is absolutely incredible! She is highly communicative, so there is never a surprise with anything related to her service. She took great care with our little Chuchi. She was sensitive to his needs and accommodated his adventureous spirit. We are very protective of your little guy and with Marin, there was never a doubt that he was in great hands. Marin is our go to person to care for Chuchi! If you hire her, you will not regret it!! Thanks a million Marin!!!!☺️😌”

“Brianna was absolutely amazing!! She was so quick to respond when I needed some last minute! So communicative, helpful, patient, and kind. I will definitely be using her a lot in the future:)”

“As always, Maria is so great with my senior dog with special needs. He always looks forward to his walks and time with her. ❤️ she is really caring and reliable and that means everything.”

“We love Hannah! She is so kind and patient with our dog. We have a larger (60lbs) dog who has reactive tendencies. Hannah is incredible with her and very knowledgeable about reactive dogs in general. Our girl is obsessed with Hannah. She gets so excited every time she comes and is always in a good mood after. I’d recommend her to anyone.”

About: I've taken care of all types of pets for my roommates and friends over the years and have loved it so much! I'm patient with pets of all ages, young and old, and I can follow any specific instructions your lil bestie may need. Can also have give meds or help out with supply restock/cleaning as needed. I'm very flexible from January until July 2026 to drop by or host as needed as I am not going to be in many classes during that time period. I have space in my living room area to host any pets, and I have some outdoor shared spaces in my building in case your pet needs some air but doesn't want to go far. I also live nearby a park that has a dog run portion and can take them easily as needed.

Kelly and Frank were such kind, considerate, and communicative walkers for Tito! They went the extra mile coordinating with my other dog sitter and paid extra care to Tito’s injured paw by adjusting his walking schedule and playing with him inside. I would definitely book them again in the future!

I am happy I found Catherine! Her love of and experiences with dogs is apparent. She has a great attitude and she was great with my dog. She arrived on time and after a short introduction with my pup they were off for the allotted time. She shared photos along the way and a summary post walk. I would book Catherine again!
