“We are new to the area and felt so fortunate to find John to care for our two cats! He was diligent in getting our picky eater to finish her meals and gave them each some additional attention by brushing them. We have already booked John for future drop in visits! Thanks so much, John!!!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. From playful puppies to senior pets, I’ve experienced it all and love the unique personality each animal brings. Whether it’s daily walks, or quiet companionship, I’m here to make your pet feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away. As a senior in college home for the summer I have a super flexible schedule as well! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine—I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days and times, except for Tuesday nights. Whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening check-ins, I can adjust to meet your pet’s needs. I love incorporating pet care into my day—it’s the best part of my routine! I ensure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, walking, medication, or just giving them some love and attention. I treat every home with the utmost respect, keeping things clean, secure, and just the way I found them. I also make sure to keep an eye out for anything unusual in your pet’s behavior or environment and will always keep you updated. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I always have my phone on me to ensure communication is top priority as well.
“Kenny is fantastic! It’s the first time we’ve used a pet sitter so we were nervous how our pets would react at first. But everything went perfectly and Kenny was able to kindly handle our dog who is very cautious and protective of our family and home. Our pets mean the world to us so it’s difficult being apart, and when we returned home they were all relaxed, content, and happy!!”
“Angela is amazing. My husband and I vibed with her right away on our meet and great and Dottie loved her! She communicates the visit very well with updates and photos, and offered to do some training with Dottie on the things we are working on. 10/10. Would book with her again!”
“Christina is very sociable, and seems to care a lot about dogs and the specific care your pet needs. She is punctual and quick with communication. We’d love to use her more in the future for day care and home stays for our two fur babies.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was born! We had yorkies, a cocker spaniel, boxer, and my family currently has had our lab-golden retriever mix for the last 9 years. I just moved into a new building, where you can’t have a dog for the first 2 years so I am jonesing to hang out with some pups until then! I work from home and I’m currently in my off-season so I have plenty of time to spend with your beloved pet! Give me a reason to go outside when it gets colder :) I will always take the utmost safety of your pet into consideration when walking, and I will be very respectful of your home and your space.
“Ricardo is fabulous. I have a rescue that is very skeptical but took to Ricardo quickly. He follows my wishes and I’m very grateful to have him taking such good care of bingo!”
About: I’m from Ireland and here for the summer. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and cared for my senior dog until he passed last December. I have experience with all kinds of breeds and also help with my brother’s two Rottweilers, so I’m confident with big dogs and love being active outdoors! I’m here from Ireland for the summer and currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for and spend time with your dog. I’m flexible and happy to help with walks, drop-ins, or just some company for your pup during the day! I always treat pets like family and follow any instructions closely to make sure they feel safe and happy in their home. I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routine, and I’ll always send updates so you know they’re in good hands.
“Alex was amazing! He was a total professional from the start. We had no issues with Communication, he was always prompt with his responses. He went above and beyond with his care of our dog Lily! He was able to help our skittish pup get out of her shell. He sent updates daily while we were away which helped our separation anxiety. I would 100% recommend Alex!”
About: Hi! I’m Mike! I live in Long Beach. I work in the city 3 days a week, but I can choose which days I go in. So, I can be flexible! A little about my background: I was a volunteer dog walker at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter in Wantagh, NY for about 3 years. I would routinely walk strong dogs with a lot of energy and was involved in training them to walk better on leash. During the pandemic, while working from home full time, I became my neighbors dog walker for their Husky and 2 Chihuahuas because why not!! I walked them at least twice a day every day for almost 2 years. I don’t have a ton of experience taking care of cats, but I have friends and family that have cats. I’d be more than willing to help take care of your cats as well! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work in the city 3 days per week, but I can choose which days those will be. So, I can be flexible. If for whatever reason, you need to cancel, just let me know at least 1-2 days before. Thank you! I provide dog sitting, dog walking, dog boarding, cat sitting, and cat boarding services. Whatever you need and however much you need, I am willing to give! Looking forward to meeting you and your pet!
About: I love and respect animals, especially my own. Growing up my family always had animals around, whether they were ours, rescues, or strays. I have a passion for learning and understanding all animals (courtesy of my mom and late grandmother). I have experience with many animals so rest assured your baby(ies) will be in good hands. My baby, Simba (dog), passed away two years in July at 12 yrs old and my heart aches every single day... I do not see myself adopting another anytime soon so taking care of your pet(s) would be the highlight of my day(s)! I work from home, I live on the beach and I don't go out socially much because I'm focused on grad school and work and I workout in my home-gym so your pet will be with me at least 85% of the day. I will love and care for your pet like my own (royal treatment) — if you ask me to keep up with any training you have going for them, then I will respect that. You trusting me with your pet is a great responsibility, and I will make sure your baby(ies) is/are as comfortable as they can be while in my care. Rest assured, your home will be respected as will your privacy.
About: Pet caring has been something natural for me since day one. I’ve been raised in a pet friendly house but so did my friends. I’ve been dog sitting all through college and my favorite part is including pets in my everyday life and habits. I’m definitely one of these people that will stop and ask to pet your dogs! I have trained some of my friends dogs and I’m always available to share some love! I work full time as a scientist so weekdays I am free after 6pm and weekends I am very flexible to accommodate requests! Holidays as well! When I’m caring for animals at home we will primarily be in house but will do very regular walks and activities outside. Depending on the dog I like involving them in my everyday life. It’s a constant communication with the parents and my care is based on their preferences as well as the dog’s
“Becky looked after my cat Klover on Christmas and was nothing but kind, sweet and attentive. Typical cat behavior, Klover doesn’t usually greet people but was out and about when Becky was there. I definitely recommend her as a sitter!”
About: I've had cats for 20 years. Cat mom to my 5 year old cat, Kona and am a dog aunt to two adorable energetic pups. I, myself, have a lot of energy to run around with a dog outside or take them on long walks. Animals feel very comfortable around me. I have a human toddler who also has a lot of energy I enjoy playing with and chasing after. I work from home and have a flexible job so it's easy enough for me to pop in and take breaks during the week. I also have time in the mornings and evenings before and after work. I have a dog and cat-friendly home. A gate for my human toddler also doubles as a doggy gate. My cat Kona is very friendly and not aggressive to other animals.
About: Love all pets and know they are family members that deserve the best care and that is what I am able to provide. No pets in my home. I work a full time job but it is flexible with days off and time off so I can make it work based on the needs of the situation! Pets are family, so I treat all animals the way I would treat my friends or my family, just a loving lady who wants vacations away from pets family to be as minimally impacting as possible!
About: I’ve had my own dog for 11 years and I have been a in-home pet sitter for the past five years for a medium size dog who had special needs as a puppy. I also am a pet photographer and have done pet portraits and holiday cards! I am available on a part time basis with more availability during the summer months. Weekends are ideal but I can be available after 5pm on weekdays or early morning. I live in a pet friendly apartment building, in a dog friendly neighborhood! My apartment is in the smaller side but dog and cat safe!
“Ariana was an absolute gem of a cat sitter! From the moment we connected, she was attentive, responsive, and incredibly kind to our cats. It’s clear she has experience with animals—she understood their needs, respected their routines, and gave them genuine affection and care. When our travel plans unexpectedly changed, Ariana didn’t hesitate to step in and extend her time with them. Her flexibility and reliability gave us real peace of mind. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend Ariana to anyone looking for someone who truly loves and understands animals!”
About: I have taken care of so many dogs, I had many of my own family dogs and now one of my own fur babies. My family relied on me to walk, feed, give medications and bathe the dogs. My mother in law relies on me to do the same for her dogs I currently work till 5 Monday through Friday so I have plenty of time after that to walk and care for your pups and go on long walks to get them tired I never leave dogs unattended, they will be monitored for as long as I am there with them. I make sure they are safe in every way. I treat them as if they werey own.

Sarah O.
“To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to provide a reference for my daughter Sarah. From a young age, Sarah has shown a deep love and commitment to animals, especially dogs. She has spent her life caring for and walking dogs, developing a unique bond with each one. Notably, she has had the pleasure of walking and caring for Ogie, a 15-year-old Irish Wheaten Terrier. Her experience with Ogie, who required special attention due to his age, highlights her ability to cater to the needs of dogs of all ages and temperaments. Her patience, reliability, and understanding of dog behavior make her an excellent choice for anyone seeking a dedicated dog walker. I have witnessed her nurturing nature firsthand, and I am confident that she will provide exceptional care and companionship to every dog she walks. I wholeheartedly recommend [Daughter's Name] for her dog walking services on Rowear. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information]”
