About: I am not currently working so I have all the time in the world to dedicate to the pups! In general I'm quite flexible, I like to fly by the seat of my pants. Within the past 9 years my brother got a Basset Hound, (who has since passed), my parents got a German Shepherd, (who has since passed), and I got a Shepherd/Hound rescue pup. Man so I miss having pup around! I've quickly become the dog sitter because I like dogs more than people! I am very comfortable with big dogs and open to working with smaller dogs. I love taking long walks with the pups. If the dog is willing I love to teach them new things! I have all of the patience in the world for dogs. They are and will always be my number one priority at all times. I will respect and follow any rules or guidelines you have knowing full well how much work goes into training and wouldn't want to cause any set backs. I'm a stay at home mom of a 5 year boy. He goes everywhere with me and is also amazing with dogs. So if your dog just needs some company or a nice walk, I'm your girl! I care for any pet as if it were my own. Any specific directions given to me will be followed to a "T". I know how important pets are and I treat them as such.

About: I have 1 dog that is a golden retriever. I’ve had pets all my life and love taking care of them. I will walk, pet and give plenty belly rubs as needed. My schedule is pretty flexible. Ask me and I can accommodate. I am free most mornings and evenings. Let me know if you need any adjustments I offer overnight boarding and allow pets to sleep in the bed, on the couch or a crate. (You tell me how you want sleep!)

“Heidi was sooo personable and agreeable to my needs and proved to be an outstanding care giver to Paco! It was the first time I ever had someone outside the family watch him -truly, peace of mind. She was willing to show-up early, mid-day and visit late so he could stretch his legs (run through the yard!). I highly recommend Heidi B ! Great appreciate to Rover for making it easy to book a quality person who lives in the area.”


About: Hi there! I have had animals my whole life, both cats and dogs! I've trained and had puppies and taken care of older puppies when they need it most. I love helping dogs get their physical and mental energy out through walks, playing, training sessions, and more! Let me help you and your puppy out while I'm away from home. I'm new to the area and would love to get to know the area through walking your doggo!! I'm working full-time during the week around 9-5 and would be able to go in the AM or PM during the week. I'm free on the weekends to come hang out with your pets whenever! Unfortunately, I cannot take animals into my home but, I am able to come watch your pets in your house and take them on a walk or play with them in the backyard or at a dog park new by! I also know a lot about training dogs and would love to teach them so new tricks for you to come home and see and learn with them!

About: Friend to all animals.✨ I have walked and dog-sat two pitbulls (ages: 2 and six months) on a weekly basis since the fall of 2022. My additional clients include mutts, a pug, a belgian shepherd, dobermans, and more, ages ranging 10 weeks - five years. I have stuck with some clients for over a year until their schedules changed or they moved, and with some dogs on a temporary basis. I am intent on working with the owners to adapt to their training methods for their fur-babies and enforcing those gently. Walks are enjoyable for both the dogs and me: I keep it lax and adapt to what they want in that moment. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and fur-babies alike since I was 15, when I would dog-sit and walk for family friends. I’ve had varying dog sitting and cat sitting gigs (both day visits and overnights) since then, some of which included overnight stays. Pet care is great supplemental time with pets and additional income while I full work remotely. I am flexible to work with clients on their schedules/their adorable pets schedules. I am also available some nights and weekends. My top priority besides providing love, fun and stimulation to your pets is their safety: both for their sake and my own. Making sure that we discuss your yard set up especially your fencing, and indoor set up (do you have animal gates/baby gates set up, areas they’re not permitted in), etc. Communication is key and I would love to know what works for your animal: what boundaries are set and what they’re comfortable with.

About: I’ve taken care of many animals every since I was 10. I hope to meet your cute furry friend soon because I know their pawfect! I’m currently available Monday , Tuesday , Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. I will always have plenty of time for furry friends! If needed I will try to extend my days! I have a fenced yard where your pup can run around and go potty in. I also have two dogs that your pup can play with. I also have many crates that can be used if needed!

“Angel was awesome, she took great care of my cat James while we were away! Super communicative, helpful, and sweet, we'll definitely be booking with her again next time we go out of town, highly recommend Angel to anyone looking for a pet sitter ❤️”


“Gillian stopped by ahead of time to meet yara. She was great, interacting an playing with her. An yara seemed very happy jumping and running around. I would definitely recommend Gillian to care for all my animals with no worries.”


“I am super happy we found Cassandra. Not only is she very comfortable with large dogs, but she is actually studying in the SUNY K9 Management School. I look forward to having her over again. She not only handled everything perfectly, she even left us a very sweet note which we appreciated.”

Krystin B.
“To whom it may concern, Krystin has dog sat and walked our two dogs for about 3 years now. We have two pitbull/rottweiler mix breeds one female and one male. She has gone above and beyond to care for our pets as if they were her own. She has always been kind to our animals and quick to report back with any minor issues she had with them and was also willing to go the extra mile to help out and find some solutions to any small behavioral issues we may have come across. Lastly she has always been reliable and at times rearranged her personal schedule to meet our needs in any cases where we needed some helping watching the pets on quick notice. I hope this can help to anyone looking to have Krystin care for or walk their pets in the future. Thanks,”

Roman C.
