Dog Walkers in Lima, NY

About: I have always had dogs and cats as a part of my family and I also spent a lot of time cat sitting for friends and family. My family fostered puppies and dogs for several years through a local organization! I am in school studying animal behavior and have done an internship at a cat shelter giving enrichment and behavior training to the particularly shy cats. I work part time, only 3-5 hours a day at a shop a few minutes from my house. Other than work and quick errands from time to time I’m home full time otherwise! I have a huge backyard that is not fenced in, however your pet would have full on leash supervised access to the yard! I have an older cat who gets along very well with other animals.

About: I've had several dogs in my life, smaller and larger dogs. I had a cocker spaniel mix when I was a kid, a collie when my kids were young, and most recently a German shepherd. Each had their own personality and I have special memories of each one of them. I have taken care of older dogs and younger dogs. I can handle the energy of younger dogs and the needs of older ones. We have always seen our pets as members of the family and I hope you will allow me to see your dog in the same way. I have friends that I have stayed at their house for a couple of weeks to spend time with their dog while they were on vacation. We went for walks twice a day and had a lot of time playing together. I work remotely in my job so I am happy to work from wherever is needed to take care of your pet. My schedule is flexible and I will work hard to accommodate the schedule of you pet. If you just need someone to come to walk your dog or just spend time with your cat, I have the flexibility in my day to do that. My first goal is to make your dog or cat comfortable with my visit. If I'm staying in your home, I will follow the routine you have set to do just that.

“David is an absolutely phenomenal dog sitter! He took amazing care of my boyfriend and I’s two huskies, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. My boyfriend especially gets so so so anxious about anybody watching them, and for him to be at peace 24/7 knowing David was there should say a lot. He was incredibly responsive and professional throughout the entire process. The numerous photos he sent gave me so much relief and reassurance, knowing my boys were in good hands and having a blast. I highly recommend David to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter! His wife was also extremely sweet and didn’t mind going on walks with our crazy boys and made the cutest art of them.”

I'm excited to give the best care to your pets 🤍 I'm available 7 days a week so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups!

About: Stories of my childhood include all types of animals. From the labrodor who sat with me in a kiddy pool to the cats who just wouldn't stop having kittens! I'd love to take care of your animal as though they were my own. I began petsitting at sixteen, and was hired during summers by families while they were away on vacation. I've helped my family care for over ten dogs throughout my lifetime, and cared for a cat and a dog in my own household recently. I also have a natural curiosity of animal science which resulted in a few veterinarian training classes during high school. My current job with a non-profit organization allows for flexible hours, and I hope to be able to care for your pets in any way you need! I work and take care of my son from home most of the time. This allows me to give attention to your animals throughout the day as needed! We have a great back yard that I can take your dog on a walk through and plenty of sidewalks around if they need a longer walk.

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for years. I am also a Licensed Practical Nurse (for humans)! I have cared for neighbors, friends, friends-of-friends’ pets and am very trustworthy and caring. For most days, I’ll be home all day. I am pet-sitting and occasional babysitting at the moment so I will be there for your pet! I feed, walk, play, cuddle and give lots of love to all the fur babies and will do whatever else is requested (light housekeeping, vet appointments, etc.)

“As always, Elizabeth did a stellar job with my dogs, lavishing them with attention and ensuring that they got plenty of exercise. I recommend her highly.”

About: 🐶🐱 Every time I see a dog or cat, I can't resist wanting to pet them & they always make my heart melt! I have been caring for my own cat for 11 years and have nearly 4 years of pet-sitting experience with dogs, cats, and fish before joining Rover. I enjoy feeding pets, taking dogs for walks, playing with their favorite toys, administering medication when needed, and giving them plenty of love and attention.

In addition to pet sitting, I am a licensed Real Estate Salesperson in New York. My flexible schedule allows me to continue providing dependable and attentive care for pets, which is something I truly enjoy. Just a heads-up: I am deaf, but communication is easy through text messages, the Rover app, email, or live transcription apps.

About: Hi there! I would love to provide a clean and home-like environment for your pets. I have over 25 years of caring for all types of animals. Available for boarding dogs and cats, house sitting(I’m unable to accommodate staying overnights), and drop-ins! Your pets will feel right at home in my care with all the attention and love they deserve! I am super fun to be around and I'm very active so your pet won't be bored or ever feel alone. I live on an acre with lots of open space for walks and playtime. I am currently not working so my schedule is very flexible. Pet care is built into my daily routine—it’s a priority, not a task. From morning walks to evening feedings and playtime, I schedule my day around each pet’s individual needs to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether in my home or a client’s, I provide consistent, personalized care. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed—while keeping their environment clean, safe, and stress-free. My goal is to make them feel as comfortable and loved as they do with their own family.

About: I have pet sit for friends and neighbors for a long time now, including dogs and cats. I grew up with almost any type of animal you can imagine, from little reptiles, to horses, with many in between. I currently have a dog, 2 cats, a few fish, and many chickens. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to pets. This allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my schedule around each pet’s specific needs and routine to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I provide loving, attentive care for pets in both my home and my client’s home. I make sure pets are fed on their normal schedule, always have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I can follow any specific instructions regarding routines, medications, training, or special needs.

About: When I was in middle school, my science teacher went to the Philippines for the whole summer. I took care of her mices, dogs, guinea pigs and more. Growing up in Iowa, I have been around many animals including dogs. Also I have had friends who traveled to Europe and they had to leave their poodles, black labs and many more and trusted their dogs in my care at their home for a month or two weeks if needed when I lived in Washington state before moving to Honeoye Falls. When I dog sat, I made sure I gave medicine as instructed to the dogs as needed. I played with them, took them hiking, the beach, cuddled on the couch and learned about what they liked and don’t like and what makes them happy. I made sure that their owners were happy as well. When I was asked to come and dog sit again, the dogs would be waiting at the window waiting for my arrival. These dogs were sure happy to see me when I came back to dog sit them! I have plenty of time to play with your pups 🐶I would be available for boarding on the weekends and week days after 4pm. I would be happy to give lots of love and attention/play to your fur babies! I have a fenced yard and have two fur babies who love to socialize. I also love to spoil your dogs too! I work from home twice a week and can pet sit on the weekends as well! As for dog sitting in the client’s home I would treat your place with respect, love and care. Anything you need I will make sure that your pets receive it. I will also communicate and send pictures!

“Things are working out great with Stephan. Minka seems to be at ease with him and that makes me very happy. Stephan has what it takes to give Minka what she needs and I couldn’t ask for more.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I provide personalized care for every pet, including puppy training reinforcement, senior pet support, medication administration, exercise, playtime, and consistent communication with owners through updates and photos. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine because I work full time with dogs and have over four years of hands-on experience.

I provide feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship.

My experience working full time with dogs for over four years has helped me become confident with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments.
