Dog Walking Maplewood

“Excellent walker! Took my dog a bit to warm up to her but she was very patient while my dog warmed up. Met with me and my dog twice at a time that was convenient for me to make sure that my pup had a chance to get to know her. Highly recommended.”

“Karibian is so friendly and dependable— I would recommend her to anyone needing pet services! She always sends me pictures and updates when she walks my pup, even making time to play with him some and give him pets before putting him back in his kennel after walking. Having her walk my pup makes me feel so much less stressed when I have to leave him for the day, because I know he will be loved on and that I can count on her! We are so glad we found Karibian!”

“Dan is a fantastic dog walker, he is so good with our pup. We will definitely be booking with him again! So happy to see pics and read updates of their daily adventures!”

Serena L.

“Saoirse is the best ! She’s is so caring and compassionate and will treat your animal as your own !”

Emily S.

“Rico is amazing with our two Irish Red & White Setters. As he learned today, Truvy is very adept at scaling fences. Rico was on top of the situation and thwarted her planned escape.”

About: I’ve taken care and handled of all kinds of animals from rabbits to dogs to cattle. Neighbors, Friends, and Family all come to me when they need anything for their pets. I’m very flexible when it comes to scheduling, and can always find a way to work around whatever’s best for you. I’m also a certified pet groomer and have done countless basic puppy training services. If grooming or training is needed during any services, we can discuss more about specifics. I work as a full time dog groomer so I’m always surrounded by pets. When I’m not doing that on my free time, I am constantly taking neighborhood dogs on walks, and pet sitting for friends. As well as helping out at local shelters and pet stores. I always make sure we have playtime to release any energy they may have had being home alone, or from being in the crate. If they haven’t had their meal of the day, I’ll make sure they get their food and water before being walked or taken outside.

About: A little bit about me, I am going on to my second year at MCC and after plan on joining the Air Force! I currently have a part time job at a restaurant but have gotten the unfortunate news that they will be shutting down my store so I am looking to have this as a part time job for now then hopefully transition it into a full time job. I have been taking care of animals since my early teenage years starting off with a close family friend and her 2 poodle mix’s. They would be dropped off at my house around 9:00 am and then get pick up at 6:00pm. I have bathed, cleaned, and even trained some dogs (simple commands). In addition, I have also taken care of multiple furry felines and have had many cats of my own so I am also quite familiar with their needs as well. I am wanting to soon be Pet CPR and First Aid Certified. I have always been interested in pet-care I just didn’t know how to go about it until I found out about rover! I will be putting all my focus on pet-care as my full time job. Since I am just starting out I will only have weekday availability 11-9 and will only offer drop in’s and walk services Monday-Friday and house sitting Tuesday-Thursday. I have been around pets for a long time and feel I am able to pick up on signs if anything might be wrong with your furry friend.

About: I grew up with a great dane, and then my family adopted 3 dogs of different sizes after that. I’ve been surrounded by, and taken care of dogs my entire life growing up in Rochester. I have worked for local dog daycare and boarding facilities as well. My location provides a good place to socialize with other dogs as well if needed, just minutes from several parks and open land. A fIexible schedule allows me to work with people to meet their specific needs, and take the necessary time to be thorough. I enjoy the process of working with dogs and understanding their personality. I use positive reinforcement techniques to reward behavior and maximize dog comfort. I currently work afternoons, and am a night owl. I spend my mornings drinking coffee or walking dogs, and evenings helping friends with pet care who work late nights in health care, law enforcement, etc. While I cannot board dogs overnight in my apartment building, I have experience boarding within owners homes. I know the stress of finding a private care provider, and offer meet and greet beforehand to make sure pet parents feel at ease. I also provide normal drop in walking/care while owner is away.

“Tiffany is great! She is very professional and just sweet as can be. Mya loved her! She taught me a few tricks for keeping Myas attention while on leash. She even left a little gift for Mya! She is the best walker on Rover I've used by far.”

About: "When we adopt a dog or any pet, we know it is going to end with us having to say goodbye, but we still do it. And we do it for a very good reason: They bring so much joy and optimism and happiness. They attack every moment of every day with that attitude" ~ W. Bruce Cameron I am a pet owner and animal lover. I have experience caring for cats, dogs ,fish, and reptiles. I have worked with many animals and am comfortable walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets. I am an energetic undergraduate student and look forward to meeting your pets! Pets are humanizing. They remind us we have an obligation and responsibility to preserve and nurture and care for all life." ~James Cromwell I currently work as a pier firm delivery driver so I have plenty of room to baby sit your fur babies. I am currently available Any Day 24 hrs I currently have an open front yard but I have certain places I like to walk dogs that I take care of so they can get their energy out.

About: Hi my name is Jennel, I am 25 years and a resent Niagara University Graduate. While there I completed my Bachelors in Hospitality: Travel and Tourism. I got the opportunity to study in Europe for my last semester. I am a long time pet lover. I am detailed oriented, timely, patient, organized, energetic, friendly and very accommodating (I.e. clothing the dog, providing poop bags, treats etc.) If there is anything you need just let me know and I will do my best to meet those needs. I will also do my best to keep them safe and happy, I will show them the same love and affection as I do my families’. I have had experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I am super excited to meet your pets.

About: Hi, I'm Tom! I've spent over four decades living with and loving animals, and I've never lost that "avid" spark for a day spent with a dog. I'm an active person who genuinely enjoys being outdoors, so if your dog has energy to burn, they've met their match! I truly enjoy working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. Whether it's a slow, gentle stroll for a senior pup, a playful walk for a growing puppy, or a high-energy trek for a large breed, I adapt my pace to meet your dog's specific needs. While I love the little guys, I am also more than capable of handling "gentle giants" and strong pullers with confidence and care. I'm well-versed in using various walking gear, from standard leashes to front-clip harnesses, ensuring every dog stays safe and controlled regardless of their size. Whether it's a brisk neighborhood power-walk or exploring local trails like Durand Eastman or Lucien Morin Park (two of my dog's favorites), I tailor every outing to your dog's fitness level. I'm not just there to "do the job"—I'm there to make sure your pup gets the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need to be happy and tired by the time they get home. In my personal life, I am also a primary caregiver for my mother, who manages daily medical conditions. Because of this, staying on a strict schedule, managing precise routines, and being deeply observant is second nature to me. I bring that exact same level of patience, compassion, and structure to every animal under my supervision. I'm available every day from 11 am - 3 pm Dog walking: 30 or 60 minute neighborhood strolls. Drop in visits: Short check-ins for feeding, potty breaks, or playtime in client's home. Pet Taxi: Adventure Excursions: for trips to the groomer, vet, and daycare. Doggy Shuttle: Solo or group hikes and adventures at some of our fine local parks Senior and Medical Care: Medication administration (pills or injections) and gentle strolls with backup wagon assist if needed. Puppy specialized care: Frequent short visits tailored for training and socialization needs of dogs under one year old. No extra charge for basic feeding or oral medication administration... Safety is my top priority, and I take a proactive approach to ensure every pet in my care is secure and comfortable. With over 40 yrs experience, I've learned that anticipation is key especially with large breeds. I am always vigilant about my surroundings and focused entirely on your dog. Gear check: I perform a thorough check of all leashes, collars, and harnesses before every walk to ensure they are in perfect working order. On-leash Only: For maximum safety, I keep all dogs on leash during our outings, even in off-leash areas, unless we are in a 100% secure, fenced in yard. Environmental awareness: I avoid interactions with unfamiliar dogs or people on walks to prevent any unpredictable situations. I am also highly mindful of the weather, ensuring paws are protected from hot pavement and that pups stay hydrated. Home Security: When entering and exiting your home, I use extra caution to prevent "door dashing." I treat your home with the same respect and care I give my own. After our visit or walk, i take a moment to send you a detailed "Report Card." You'll get a summary of our route, their behavior, and-of course- at least 2-3 great action shots from our time together. I treat every schedule with the same reliability I'd want for my own pets. Rochester weather can be unpredictable! For the safety of your pet, I may shorten walks during extreme heat (90+) or dangerous wind chills. In these cases, we will spend the remaining time playing indoors or doing mental enrichment challenges, so they still get their energy out. Depending on your specific dog's tolerances and needs...

“Responsible and easy to work with. Very knowledgeable and caring with our Labrador puppy. Happy to work with again!”

About: About Me: Hi there! My name is Lauren, and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Whether I’m giving belly rubs, taking energetic walks, or just keeping a nervous pet company, providing a safe, loving environment is my top priority. I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family members behind, so I treat every pet as if they were my own. My Experience: * Lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats, and various other animals of all sizes and temperaments. * Comfortable with administering oral medications, following strict feeding schedules, and handling high-energy play. * Dedicated to keeping your home tidy, secure, and respected while you're away. What to Expect: * Frequent updates, including adorable photos and videos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. * Customized care tailored to your pet’s routine, favorite games, and comfort needs. * A clean, welcoming space when you return home—because the best vacation ending is coming home to a happy pet and a spotless house and a calm pet! I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged family members! My schedule is wonderfully flexible and centered around your pets' needs. Whether I am house sitting full-time or dropping in for visits, your animals will always be my top priority. I plan my day around their feeding, walking, and medication schedules, and I generally avoid being away from the home for extended periods so your pets always feel secure and accompanied. I am currently working full-time in a remote capacity so I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day. Your home and pets' safety are treated with the utmost respect. I always ensure doors and gates are securely locked, monitor outdoor environments closely, and keep toxic foods or hazards completely out of reach. I also treat your home with care—leaving spaces clean, respecting household rules, and making sure you come home to a peaceful, spotless environment.

About: I love dogs! I've had dogs since I was a kid, so basically have been around them and taking care of them for my whole life. Can do long walks with them and keep them safe and happy. I am good with nail trims and baths as well! My schedule is pretty open. I have a car as well, so getting there wont be an issue. I work at wegmans part time, so i have plenty of free time! I have a little dog and a bearded dragon. Both house trained (yes the dragon poops in the yard lol) i usually walk dogs 3-5 times a day depending on how often they wanna go. I keep nails trimmed and stuff myself as well. I make sure to keep the living space clean and safe for them. They're my family pretty much haha

“Excellent rapport with my nervous doggie, Jenine was able to get her to go the entire half hour (the dog keeps wanting to return) and go potty before returning. Definitely recommend and my dog loves her!”

About: I have had two dogs in my life, both with completely different personalities. I also don’t scare easily, and am good at reading an animal’s body language. PLEASE READ: I currently working a full time job Monday-Friday 8 am to 4:30 pm, and I am looking for a part time side hustle. Unless I am out of town, I can take care of your beloved fur babies. Can’t wait to meet them😁❤️ They are always fed by a specific time, and I always make sure they have some sort of play/walk time along with mental stimulation if possible.

“Kate is just so wonderful with our Luke and she’s become a trusted partner helping us care for him when we have long days. Luke loves seeing her and she makes sure Luke gets pampered while with her. We appreciate Kate so much and will look forward to continue working with her.”

About: A graduate of the Eastman School of Music, I'm currently a flutist with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra! I've been missing my spunky dog Kora who lives back home and have always grown up with dogs, which is why I've been a sitter for Rover since I moved here in 2021. Since then, I have done dog sittings, cat sittings, and even bird sittings! I love going for walks/runs, just hanging out, or curling up in the couch at home-- hopefully your dog loves some of these too! I've been taking care of dogs in total for around 15 years now, so I'm used to taking them out fairly frequently, getting up early for a morning walk, and bathing them. I am more than happy to take your dogs on a walk, or drop in and make sure they're well-fed and happy. I'm most experienced in home-care and will happily take care of your furry friends and house in whatever capacity you need! I've raised my dog Kora from puppyhood and am very familiar with the training required for puppies and dogs with reactivity. I have also fostered a handful of dogs (small dogs and large dogs alike) over the last few years and have experienced shy dogs who take some time to come out of their shells :) As a musician, I have a few hours here and there scattered throughout my day that I can walk or stop by/watch your pup. I'm a very active person and love being outside! I am more than happy to be outside/in your home with them as well! I unfortunately cannot house your furry friends because of my housing situation.

About: From high-energy pups to more anxious or reserved dogs, I have the skills and experience to take care of all of your pups needs! I love every pet like they're my own, making sure they feel as safe and comfortable as possible. Hi! I’m Emma! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with four dogs and now regularly care for pets with all kinds of personalities, ages, and needs through my personal business. I’m currently a graduate student studying social work, and pet care is something I genuinely love doing alongside school. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I always strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! 🤍 I love caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I take the time to follow each pet’s individual schedule, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
