Amelia was wonderful! The doggies came back tired and happy. One of my pups has a hard time trusting strangers and was easily convinced that Amelia was a friend.

TJ was amazing! He was always on time and had great communication throughout the entire process. He even went out of his way to do more than what was asked of him. He was so patient and gentle with my dog Mia, and she absolutely loved him. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

About: I grew up around dogs, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve helped take care of my friends’ dogs, including Pip, whom I’ve watched since he was a puppy, and Martha, a more senior dog. I’ve handled walking, feeding, playtime, and just generally making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I’m very responsible and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I take that responsibility seriously and treat every dog as if they were my own. It means a lot to me to be given the opportunity to care for your furry friend. : ) I’m in university at the moment, so my schedule is pretty open. If there’s a particular time that you’re looking for, feel free to let me know and we can work something out! I live in a single on campus, with a decently sized room for any small or medium sized doggies, and there is a fenced in track behind my building/apartment if they wanna just run around with me for a while.

Mary has been so wonderful with my dog and cat. I work a lot and I am always worried about my pets being home alone all day. Mary takes the time to really make them comfortable and takes care of them like they are her own. Which gives me a peace of mind. I get home from work less anxious knowing they had a loving person come check on them every day while I am at work. I highly recommend her services

To name a few of the dog breeds I grew up with and took care of those include, Labrador, Golden Retriever, Bulldog, Basset Hound, Boxer, Mini Doberman Pinscher and Maltipoo. It would be a true pleasure for me to take care of your fur baby when you are in need of assistance. I truly love dogs and treat them as if they my own children and give them all of the love and attention possible. My schedule is super flexible so I can accommodate you and your pups needs! I am available Monday - Sunday for boarding and weekdays for doggy day care and drop in visits. I offer pet care during holidays as well. I’m currently working a few hours per week so I would definitely have time to help take care of your fur baby. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can accommodate you and your pups needs! I am available Monday - Sunday, including holidays. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment where it’s just my husband and I, so I can accommodate the second bedroom for your pet so they can feel safe and at home. Although we don’t have a yard, we do live close to a dog park and the Hudson River Walkway where I can take your pet on walks, if required.

Amy has checked in on my four(!) pets (two cats, two dogs) while I'm out of town, and taken my dogs on several walks. She is really sweet and caring with them, really gets to know their personalities, and sends delightful and thorough updates on how they're doing. I'm really happy to have found her and will definitely be making use of her services again!

About: I’ve always been a natural caregiver and genuinely love being around animals. I understand that pets aren’t just pets — they’re family — and I treat them with the same level of attention, patience, and care I would give my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the attention, consistency, and supervision they need throughout the day. I’m able to plan my day around walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins rather than trying to squeeze them in. I enjoy being active and getting outside daily, so regular walks are something I genuinely look forward to. I also value calm, structured routines, which helps dogs feel safe and settled while in my care. Whether your dog needs midday walks, consistent potty breaks, or extra attention, I’m intentional about making sure they feel prioritized — not just accommodated. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and structured environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I’m mindful about keeping floors clear, doors secured, and anything potentially unsafe out of reach. I follow each dog’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, crate preferences, training guidelines, and house rules — so there’s consistency between your home and mine. I never introduce pets to unfamiliar dogs or environments without permission, and I always supervise outdoor time. I pay close attention to body language and behavior to make sure your dog feels safe, respected, and understood. You can expect regular updates and photos so you feel completely at ease while you’re away. My goal is simple: a safe space for your dog and total peace of mind for you.

About: I had two felines for over 15 years but they recently passed away. They were my best friends, but they hated dogs, which brought me to Rover. I love dogs big and small, from german shepherds to a Maltese, I have never had the living situation to have one. I understand the importance of a routine in a dog's life and want to make them as comfortable as possible, especially when their human is not around. I love taking them out to play in the park or snuggling on the couch. Depending on the dog's needs I will take them for a short or long walk. We will make a plan catered to your specific pet. I have experience with giving medicine. I have experience with walking, overnight care, and in-home pups. I've always wanted a dog, let me give yours all the love I have to share. I have a flexible schedule and keep my rover calendar updated! I am an early riser and like to get moving so if you need morning help I am happy to do so. I try not to be out super late so unless I am doing an overnight the latest I'd do a visit it 9pm-10pm. Unfortunately, I can no longer offer home care in my house. For pet parents, I will arrive within the designated time, greet the pet with a warm hello, check the water to make sure it is clean and full, check the food to confirm the amount eaten, take the puppy outside to relieve itself, and/or change the puppy pad if required. Give the dog some good scratches and pats and maybe a treat if available. If the dog wants to play tug-o-war or fetch I'll do some of that too. I would like to tailor the visit to the dog's routine, so as not to cause any undue stress.

Lauren was, as always, awesome! She showed up on time, kept me perfectly updated, and took our spoiled princess on a walk that clearly made her day. She even made sure there was water and that the queen of the living room was comfy. The whole process was super smooth, and judging by the pictures, my crazy little buddy was absolutely thrilled to be with Lauren 😊
