Joni is just amazing!! Our pup Milo loves Joni. She walks Milo 3 days a week and helps us out in a pinch. We get great updates from her. She’s helped Milo learn how to go on little bike runs with her and tires our little boy out when needed! She’s also so patient with Milo. We love her and recommend her for all your puppy needs :))))

About: Hello! My name is Kiana, and I'm a 30 year old pet lover with a 3 year old daughter. After recently losing my beloved Shiba Inu, Phoenix, on July 20, 2024, I’ve felt the absence of my furry friend deeply. However, I am excited to return to dog walking and reconnect with the wonderful dogs and their owners I’ve missed so much. Growing up surrounded by a variety of pets, including rabbits, fish, dogs, cats, and birds, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for animals. My previous dog, Cocoa, a Shih Tzu, lived a joyful 14 years, and I cared for two parakeets, Aqua and Flora, until we lost them after Hurricane Sandy. Phoenix was a cherished part of our family, and her memory inspires me to continue providing exceptional care for pets. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a range of dogs from lively puppies to gentle seniors. Each pet is unique, and I treat every one as if they were a part of my own family, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. I’m happy to send photos and videos of your pets to keep you updated while you’re away. With a flexible schedule, I am available for walks and drop-ins within a reasonable radius from home. My approach is positive, energetic, and attentive, making sure your pet is safe and well-cared-for. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves pets and is eager to build new connections, please reach out. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your furry friends and reconnect with the wonderful pet community. Thank you! As a dedicated mom to a 3 year old daughter and someone who recently experienced the loss of my cherished dog, Phoenix, I truly understand the balance of managing both family and pet care. My daily routine is thoughtfully organized to accommodate the needs of both my child and the pets I care for, ensuring that each receives the attention and care they deserve. My experience as a mother has taught me the importance of flexibility, empathy, and attentiveness—qualities I bring into my pet care routine. I carefully structure my schedule to seamlessly integrate walks and pet care with my family commitments. I am available for dog walks and pet care every day of the week, from Monday to Sunday. I’m happy to adjust timing and activities to match your pet’s needs, ensuring they receive the best care possible. My role as a mom has deepened my understanding of unconditional love and nurturing, which I extend to your pets. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities, and I look forward to providing them with the same loving care I give to my own family. When caring for pets in your home, I pay utmost attention to creating a safe and trusting environment. Before any care begins, I conduct a thorough assessment of the space to identify and address any potential hazards. I familiarize myself with your pet's routine, ensuring a seamless transition in their daily activities. Open communication and trust are key, and I make it a priority to maintain clear and consistent communication with you, keeping you informed of your pet's well-being, activities, and any concerns. Building a strong bond and trust with your pets is fundamental to my approach. I invest time in getting to know your pet's unique personality, preferences, and individual needs. This allows me to tailor the care, ensuring they are comfortable and at ease during our time together. I use positive reinforcement techniques, gentle encouragement, and a calm demeanor to create a trusting relationship with your pet. Safety is non-negotiable. I adhere to safety protocols rigorously to minimize risks and create a secure environment. Additionally, I ensure that all gates, locks, and leashes are secure during walks, providing an extra layer of safety for your pets. A comfortable environment is also essential for your pet's well-being. I pay careful attention to the temperature, lighting, and overall comfort of the space. Cozy bedding, ample toys, and stimulating activities are incorporated to make your pet remain comfortable at home while you're gone, promoting a sense of security and relaxation.

About: I currently work at a grooming salon, which has given me hands on experience with dogs of all sizes and every breed also certified in Pet CPR and first aid. I’ve also cared for my own dogs since I was like 9, so being responsible for pets and loving them has always been a part of my life. I currently go to college Monday, Wednesday and Friday but for certain hours. I also have a part-time job but only at night usually 4-10. I spend my full attention on the pet, mostly if playing in the backyard. When walking the pet I also have my full attention on them in every since, like if it was my own dog!

About: I have several years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and breeds. I’m comfortable with daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and administering oral medications when needed. I make sure pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away, keeping routines consistent and sending regular updates and photos Your dog will be my top priority throughout my time with them. I am currently doing Rover full time and taking care of your puppy will be my sole and only responsibility when boarded. When caring for pets, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and consistency with their regular routines. In my home, I provide a calm and secure environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and affection. I make sure pets have fresh water, nutritious meals according to their dietary needs, and regular exercise suited to their age and energy level. I also have a huge backyard providing dogs with space to run freely and get some exercise in if needed. (other than routine walks) When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully to maintain the pet’s normal schedule and minimize stress. I keep their environment clean, provide companionship, and pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health. Communication is key, so I always keep pet owners updated with messages, photos, or videos to give them peace of mind.

About: I've been pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. Apart from my current two dogs, I've also raised three previous dogs from being a puppy into their senior years. I'm a firm believer in positive reinforcement training, every dog deserves the utmost love and care. I own my own business and set my own hours so I can accommodate anyone's pet care needs. I'm fine with short notice requests and can work with anyone's schedule! I have two dogs that can run around freely in my fenced in backyard. They each get at least two solo shorter walks (about 15 minutes around the park we live next to) per day and an additional longer walk (around 45-60 minutes) once my girlfriend gets home from work where we walk both together.

There was no question that our pup was in great hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again. The absolute best!!

About: Hi! As a small dog owner to my dog, Akele, I know that leaving your pet can be stressful. My goal is to give you total peace of mind while you're away. I bring a strong background in structured caretaking, so following specific medical instructions, feeding schedules, or quirky bathroom habits is second nature to me. From daily walks and playtime to overnight companionship, I'll ensure your pet stays happy, safe, and entirely in their comfort zone. I have a highly flexible schedule and am fully available for pet care on Saturdays and Sundays. I can also accommodate weekday requests depending on your needs just let me know what works best for you! I am always happy to adjust my day to mimic your pet’s exact routine so they stay comfortable. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet I watch. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I ensure they feel secure, loved, and fully looked after. I strictly follow all special care instructions, keep a very close eye on their needs, and provide plenty of supervised attention.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was very young, growing up with them since I was about 2 years old, and I started actively caring for them on my own at 12. I have experience with many different breeds, from German Shepherds to Yorkshire Terriers, which has helped me understand different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I currently have a well-trained Border Collie and a very sweet cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I’m patient, reliable, and truly love spending time with animals, always making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. My schedule is very flexible! I take dogs to parks, interesting walks, and even the beach if authorized. I have my own transportation with no additional costs. I wake up at 7am for the first walk: 1.5 hours. After that, breakfast time. Second walk around 1 hour after they finish eating. I work while they explore the house freely. Lunch followed by a long walk (2-2.5 hours) to parks or different locations. Dinner and two evening walks (7-8pm and 10pm). Your dog is welcome to sleep in my bed or use their own bed, whatever they prefer—I adapt to their comfort and routine.

About: As a fur parent that has dealt with a range of fur baby needs, I am equipped and willing to handle a wide-range of pet circumstances, and will ensure that I care for your pet, as I would my own. With love, patience, and understanding. We'll have a great time too! I am a contract event producer with Tribeca film festival and sofar sounds, so i have plenty of time throughout the year to give your pet the attention they need. I always ask for a trial meeting with the pet parents and their fur-baby to to ask questions, and get a sense of what a normal day looks like in the home. I also ask that all parents document as much about their pet, and their home as possible so that I can be ready for any eventuality.

About: Cant think of time where I haven’t been around a dog. Growing up there was always dogs in the house. It comes easy to me. For my 2 dogs it starts at 345am with their first walk before I head to the gym. There 2nd walk comes at 8am before I start work then again at 2pm for a quick lunch break and their last 2 walks come at 5 and 930pm before settling down for the night. In between all the walking they’ll get breakfast and dinner and some naps. Meet and greet is important along with getting to know the pets needs and routines. Along with likes and dislikes. Knowing what the pet parents wants and expects from visits or boarding.

Bianca was amazing while my husband and I were away! She was so prompt and followed all our instructions perfectly. She also showed us so much love, care, and patience, especially with our three dachshunds—especially our little guy, who was a bit anxious and timid at first. Dachshunds, especially three, can be a bit of a challenge and can get a little chaotic, but she handled all three with such compassion. She even offered some alternative options when scheduling conflicts came up. Thanks again, Bianca! We’re already looking forward to booking with you again :)

Veronica took care of our dog while we went to Paris. We ended up getting stuck in Paris two extra days because of the blizzard that hit the northeast. Veronica took our dog to her place so she could make sure she was okay during the storm. She went far beyond what we expected of her. I cannot recommend her enough. Your pet will be in excellent hands with Veronica!
