“Pearl is the best! We had a last minute need for a dog walked, and she confirmed for us. She took great care of our old lady dog, Olivia (15 years old), for the 2 days that we were away. She sent us photo and video updates, which I really appreciated. And she gave some pets to our cats before leaving our house each walk. I can’t thank Pearl enough, and I will definitely book her again.”
“Tedy is the absolute best fur baby companion Our fur baby loves her and is always happy to greet Tedy She is absolutely a happy soul and so positive all the time !!!”
“Mandel was super easy to work with and communicated great. He gave Marni a lot of belly rubs so I know he immediately won him over. Will be hiring Mandel again in the future.”
About: Im reliable, communicative and caring! I try my best to accommodate every owner as a pet owner myself. I have had dogs, cats and even reptiles. I work from 8-4PM and my husband who will be assisting me works from home. Located in Woodhaven Queens I work Monday through Friday from 8-4PM. My husband works from home and helps me if I ever need anything. I’m available up to 3 times per day and can adjust based on preference. For in home visits I can check in every 6-8 hours for any owners traveling. I include pictures, videos , and updates to share all the details of our visit. I’m very easy to communicate with and am willing to adjust to your needs and expectations!
About: I grew up with large and small dogs since I was young. My first dog was a pitbull so no I don’t think they’re dangerous, so much so I own a cane corso now. I love all types of dogs and rescued a few strays to give to new families. I have done the same with cats and birds, yes birds. I found strays from new born to even elderly, took care of them and learned how to do basic grooming care like clipping nails and trimming coats. I train my dogs pretty well, I’m not no professional, but they know many key tricks perfectly. I’m currently going to college but it is night classes so I’m free for the entire morning till early afternoon. I’m available for any services unless already booked or stated unavailable for personal reasons. I am free any time from 10am to 4pm Monday Tuesday Wednesday. Sunday Thursday and Friday 6am to 4pm. Saturday 6am to 12pm If there is clients with multiple dogs I know how to stop a scuffle before or during so don’t worry too much on that. I would like to know any allergies and during check ins their feeding regimens. Honestly I love all fur babies and giving them that extra TLC, brushing that winter coat off or just in general keeping them company.
About: I've cared for pets my whole life and enjoy doing so. Before losing by beloved fur son last year, I would walk him and my cousins dog when he would go out of town. Along with the dogs and cats I've encountered, I strongly prioritized providing them with mental stimulation. Walking and challenging play is essential to their wellbeing and I've encouraged friends with pets to do more on their behalf. As an afterschool tennis coach, the flexibility and active work would be best for my shift at 1:30pm and after 6pm. I also work at a food delivery company part-time Wed & Friday 9pm to 2am and Sundays from 4pm to 9pm. This kind of work keeps me engaged and on my feet and allows me to pay attention to details and slow down a bit. I love being nurturing and taking time to shell the flowers! I follow the owners strict diets and regiments for their fur babies and keep things tidy. I respect the pet as I would any adult or pet of my own by keeping a close eye on them and developing a loving and trusted relationship.
About: I have been taking care of as well as walking dogs since I was 17 years old around the city and in Queens. My partner had a pomeranian girl that I got to live with for 3 years until unfortunately she passed away, her name was Lilly :) and she was twelve years old. I love dogs and enjoy being in their company. I have a good amount of experience when it comes to noticing when a dog is upset. I have worked a lot with dog-sitting. My mom's boss gave me the opportunity to dogsit his bulldog Albert while he goes away the whole summer and constantly travels throughout the year. I understand the love and care that a dog or kitty might need when this occurs. I work remotely and go into the office twice a week, spending most of my time at home which allows me take care of your pet throughout the day. My typical work hours in person are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. I reside in a cozy, spacious apartment that is filled with beautiful natural light and fresh air, creating a warm atmosphere. My partner and I are pet lovers and we are committed to ensuring that any pets in our care will be cherished and well looked after.
“If you haven’t booked Irene yet I’d suggest you do so. She’s amazing and it’s clear she absolutely loves animals! She was so awesome with Stoney. Stoney is super energetic and tends to pull on walks. Thanks for your patience! I would absolutely book with her again!!”
About: Hello! My name is Jhoceline and I live in Grimes, IA! I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my husband Luis, baby boy and doggie Luna. Although it is an apartment the space is cozy with a balcony overlooking a pond with and has a spacious living room for the dogs to run around. The neighborhood is relaxed and very pet friendly. I’ve has doggies as far back as I can remember so I definitely have a soft spot for animals! We are here to have a day filled with play or a lazy one on the couch enjoying a nice movie! We have a lot of open space in the community as well as a nice trail just a few minutes away for those extra long walks! My goal is to make sure your pup enjoys their stay away from home and is comfortable as possible. I will maintain any schedules you have and make sure your dog gets extra love during their time apart. I am able to host from small to large dogs at my home but am also available for traveling/sitting if you prefer I stay in your home! I’m currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to give your pup the attention they need whether that means going on extra long walks or relaxing on the couch with some belly rubs! I have a spacious balcony overlooking a beautiful pond for this mid-day sun naps! I also have a friendly pup who will keep your fur baby entertained.
About: My prominent pet care experience this year is with large dogs and kitties. Most of my dog experience is with big dogs, I’m happy to visit with small doggies too! Apart from pet care, I teach classes across the city (one hour classes throughout the week). It’s great when I have the opportunity to be with animals. It’s a little bit more chore work of course… I give all of the pet owners credit for doing what you do. During all visits I'm available by call or text. I provide quality care yet I do understand that sometimes when you’re away you might want a photo or two.
About: What differentiates me is the love and patience I give to each pet. I have experience with puppies and older dogs that need special care and shy rescue puppies. I treat each pet as if it were mine and always keep the owners informed with photos and messages. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I enjoy spending time with animals in the mornings and evenings, and I always make sure pets receive walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust to the needs of each pet and provide reliable, loving care whenever it’s needed. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets always have a clean and cozy space, fresh water, and regular walks or playtime. I make sure the environment is safe, secure, and free of hazards. In a client’s home, I follow their routines carefully, respect their rules, and provide regular updates with photos so owners can feel at ease knowing their pets are happy and cared for
“It’s been amazing experience with Shannakae as a first time user of Rover. She is very caring and patient with our Cane Corso. You can tell that she really enjoys what she does. She is very genuine and easy to talk to. Great with communication! Wow! We love that she looks out for our dog’s best interest by giving us any recommendations that make him feel more comfortable and safe. Our dogs fell in love with her right away. She takes care of Hachi as her own :) At first, I was a bit worried because we’ve never hired a dog walker through the app, but Shannakae gives us piece of mind. I would recommend hiring her anytime, hands down! We are extremely pleased and thankful for how well she takes care of Hachi. Your pet will be in good hands! She is very reliable, quick responsive and extremely friendly. Hachi adores her! We look forward to continuing working with you! :)”
About: I’ve worked at the Brooklyn zoo and aquarium in Brooklyn as a teen. Then worked my way to volunteering at my local animal shelter. I’ve always had a love for animals. Now I foster dogs and cats till they find their forever homes. Even family and friends ask me to watch their pets on occasion. I’ve done dog walking and boarding for many years now as well and I would love to continue to provide for animals rain or shine. I currently work from home so the most I leave for are some social events here and there or groceries. I have transportation if pick up and drop off is needs as well. I have a gated yard around my apartment. There grass and all the other animals in the building run around and use the property. I provide at least three walks/potty breaks a day, take time to train and reward. I’ve giving medication and baths on request as well.
About: I've been taking care of neighbors, family, and friends pets since I was in highschool. Providing feed, play, walks (and more) to all of their furry or feathered friends!

My schedule is pretty flexible around these things, so just message me and I will let you know my availability.

About: I have over a decade of experience as a pet owner with dogs of all sizes. I am happy to help petowners balance their own needs while also balancing their fur babies’ needs. I work a 9-5 remotely that is generally busier during the weekdays with more open availability during the weekends and towards the end of the work week. In order to be able to tend to the needs of pets appropriately, I have limited my availability to the days where I have room to look after pets properly. I keep my pets indoors. To keep things simple and for the safety of all pets involved, I do not open my home to other pets. I am however, open to caring for pets in their own homes which is generally what they are most comfortable in.
About: My name is Deshaun, a former tv meteorologist, and I love dogs. I am experienced with taking care of dogs through family and friends. Giving animals as much love as possible is my motto. Show them as much love and attention as possible and always be on alert with pets. Never leave peers on their own. Make sure that they are well fed. I’m currently in between jobs, so I have all the time in the world. I will dedicate a lot of time into taking care of my clients I treat my client’s home with top care. I will never bring strangers into their homes, keep everything clean and tidy and avoid rooms that are banned.
About: I love looking after pets and getting to know each of their unique personalities. I think animals make the world a better place by being here. They teach us about patience, love, loss, and growth. The great thing about all pets is they're all different in their own way and they all offer love. I have two cats at home, who are pretty low maintenance, they need plenty of love and play time. I dedicate every day more than an hour to each cat to make sure they feel loved and entertained. It obviously entertains me as well! Patience and looking for warning signs are very important. Taking time to communicate to the pet owners of any concerns is also a priority if that is the case. I think a good line of communication is super helpful. Getting to know the pets is helpful too.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Howard Beach
Hillary was absolutely wonderful with Chloe! She took such great care of her on every walk, kept me updated on how Chloe was doing and her activity, and was so sweet and attentive. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Chloe was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Hillary and will definitely be booking her again! ❤️
Heidi was wonderful with my dog, Rocco! This was his first time walking with her, and she made me feel very comfortable. She kept me updated, sent several photos during the walk. Rocco was excited to see her and seemed happy and relaxed with her. She is kind, professional, and clearly cares about the dogs she walks. I will definitely book Heidi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!
We are thrilled to be back with Ashley walking our dog Cagney after a two month break this winter. She is so kind and loving, patient and above all professional. She has also done a bit of training with him. Cagney gets so excited when the buzzer rings and runs to greet her. Definitely an asset to Rover!
Mayely is incredibly responsive, trustworthy, and dedicated !! She was very communicative with me and it was clear through her words and actions how much she cared for my dog. She was patient with him, walked at his pace, and was eager for him to “use all the facilities”. Will be booking again!!
We are so grateful we found Naoka. Our dogs love her! We are so appreciative for the peace of mind she provides by being communicative about our pups when we are away. She goes above and beyond for our pups and is an absolute joy to work with. Her love for dogs and humans really shines in the level of care she provides and we highly recommend her.
Xavier was amazing!! He has a really gentle kind energy that made my anxious dog feel safe, and was able to exercise with him and walk a large breed. He even found a new dog park for us to go to nearby! Highly recommend for a local reliable and flexible walker - my dog loved him so we will definitely be booking again soon :) Thank you!!
