“Sydney has been an excellent dog walker for Tucker! She is reliable, communicative, and always makes sure he gets the exercise and attention he needs. Tucker is always excited to see her, and I feel completely at ease knowing he’s in great hands. Highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring walker!”

About: My love for dogs started with my family’s golden retriever, Sunshine, who I grew up caring for. Since then, I’ve continued my pet care journey with my own Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, who I’ve raised for the past 8 years. Along the way, I’ve also dog-sat for friends, gaining experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved, whether that’s through long walks, playtime, or extra patience for senior dogs. I work part-time remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule to care for pets. I can easily adjust my day to fit in walks, drop-ins, or playtime, and I’m available most weekdays and weekends. Caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy, so I make sure it’s part of my daily routine. I provide a safe and loving environment for every dog I care for. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions, whether that means keeping to feeding schedules, administering medication, or using a crate if needed. On walks, I’m attentive and mindful of safety, and at home, I create a calm and comfortable space where dogs feel secure. With my own experience raising dogs, I treat every pup like part of the family and make their well-being my top priority.
About: I'm a extremely nuturing individual and have had the immense pleasure of caring for pets kittens to seniors/puppies to seniors for over 25 years. I'm very hands on and i very meticulously make sure they are both comforted as well as comfortable. You will find no one more skilled in being your pets caregiver. I'm currently not working! So I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups/kittens! I'm available for boarding weekdays all day. And weekends after 3. I can take your pups to a dog park and play as I do not have a fenced yard. Also I have a play room for kitty.
“Alison was incredibly patient with my new rescue dog, Olive, who tends to need a bit of time to warm up to people. She took some time to give Olive some treats and get to know her prior to taking her out for the walk which was so appreciated! I am excited to have her take Olive on more walks.”


About: The cool aunt your dog deserves. I will hang out with your dog and make sure they stay active and happy. I am energetic for the dogs who need plenty of exercise but who knows how to cuddle or be lay back with the calmest dogs. All my friends and family dogs are basically my nieces and nephews from how much I spoil them and spend time around them (plenty of cuddle buddies are around me when I come over). Even though I enjoy being the cool aunt or Godmom, I will discipline them if they are doing something they know they are not supposed to do (this is not like when the teacher leaves and the substitute teacher is there for the day). If I'm lucky my terrible puns and jokes might put your dog to sleep after hearing them (not guaranteed to work on all dogs). Just working for Madison Square Garden as an usher during the day (7 hours at the longest). So before and after we are good to go. While I am at your place, I treat the place like mine. I will keep an eye on the mail and packages, make sure the pet does not eat my food (no matter how sad they try to look) and will be as close as possible to the pets schedule.
“Mabel is reliable, friendly, and great with my dog. They show up on time, keep me updated, and my dog always comes back happy. I highly recommend their services.”

About: I grew up with two dogs, so I learned how to take care of dogs starting at a young age. As a kid, I trained my own dogs basic commands and tricks and walked them. I now have a dog of my own, a sweet rescue pup named Olive, who is my entire world. I work from home from 9 to 5 on weekdays and have plenty of time to spend with pups! My pet care schedule is very flexible. I am available for walks either before or after work, around lunchtime, and on weekends. I will follow any special instructions to suit your dog’s needs. I have experience with anxious dogs and know that some pups may take a little bit of time and patience to be comfortable!
“Federica was a wonderful walker for Chico! She responded promptly and was super communicate from booking through the walk. Would definitely recommend!”

“Ronald was great. I usually have to use Rover in emergency situations and Ronald was super helpful when I had to unexpectedly leave Luna at home - she had a great walk and was well cared for and Ronald was super kind and courteous!”

“Brandon is absolutely wonderful. He is a wonderful father to his two fur babies, and a loving and caring caretaker to my dog. I always have peace of mind when my pet is in his care. He has cared for my dog for over a year and I am forever grateful.”

“Kobi is great! My dog has been transitioning to a new space and he has had a lot of anxiety. Kobi entered my apartment and sat down and waited for Henry to become comfortable! I really appreciated that and will continue to use her just for that small gesture. Thanks Kobi!”

“Walden took very good care of our pups while we were away. They have some special needs and it was good to know everything went well and he listened to my instruction. Would definitely book again!”
About: Along with 8 years experience with cats, I also have experience looking after dogs and rabbits. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddle time, I enjoy making pets feel happy, safe, and cared for like they’re my own. I am available 7 days a week and happy to spend my days making sure your furry friends feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m living in an apartment and have plenty of free time to take care of small pets. I’ll take them to the dog park. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel happy and cared for in a safe and comfortable space.
“Kaitlin was great with Cody, our senior cockapoo. I left Cody with my senior parents and Kaitlin walked him 2x a day for 10 days. I would definitely book her services again.”

Journal Square dog parents share their Rover experiences
Zhongni has been amazing! She walked my dog for several days, twice a day, and it was such a great experience. My dog absolutely loved her walks and was always happy and excited to go with her. She is calm, gentle, reliable, and truly caring. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Highly recommend Zoni—I will definitely book her again!

Yuanqing took great care of our dog while we were out for a week. Our dog can be anxious and had trouble with being overstimulated when we boarded him. Yuanqing’s updates and pictures while we were out of town brought us peace of mind that our pup was feeling good and eating well.

Kaitlynn is extremely attentive and patient with my reactive dog. She understands his needs and is great with making sure he avoids dogs on walks and in my apartment building. She communicates well and sends lots of pics easing my mind while I’m at work. I highly recommend her if you have a dog with unique behavior needs!
