About: I love dogs and would love to host your furry friend during your getaway. It's no trouble to give medication as needed (I can give pills without treats and I can give meds by dropper) and your pup would get at least 1/2 hour walking per day if they are up to it, on trails if you're ok with that. Please let me know beforehand if there are any exercise restrictions. I'll be happy to send pictures of your pup during their stay. I will house sit medium sized dogs and smaller. For boarding, my apartment is small and is better for dogs on the smaller side. I would board a dog 40lb or smaller, who is current on their shots and not sick at the time. Please feel free to ask if you have any special requirements for your dog that I haven't mentioned. I have plenty of time to play with pups and I can walk dogs during the day. If they stay with me, they will hang out while I work from home, and go on at least 2 walks for 20-30 minutes. I do daily pupdates, sending pictures so you can see what your furry baby is up to. If I house sit for you, I can watch a 2 medium/small sized dogs and/or cats. I will be mindful in your home and be a good guest. I can give pills or dropper medication to dogs if needed. If you board with me, pets are welcome on the furniture (because snuggles matter!). I live in a small apartment, best suited for chill or medium-energy pups—not zoomies. I am keeping the happiness and well-being of your pet in mind - we will play and walk 2-3 times per day.
About: Hi, I'm Manuela I've had dogs my entire life, and caring for them is truly my passion. I've also volunteered as a foster home for dogs rescued from high-risk shelters, so I have experience with pups from all kinds of backgrounds especially those needing a little extra love and patience. At home, I live with my sweet, spayed female dog named Mocca. She's very friendly and gets along well with others, so your pup will have a built-in buddy to play with and feel at ease around! Whether you're looking for a day sitter or need someone you can trust while you're away, I provide a safe, loving environment where your dog will be treated like family. I also speak Spanish, so feel free to reach out in either language! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I work from home full-time, so I’m always available to give your dog the attention, care, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. I’m also available to go for a walk or take a trip to the dog park since it’s only 5 min away from home. We also have a fenced yard, giving your pup a safe and secure space to play, explore, and burn off some energy while being safe.
“Mallory is a wonderful person and great communicator for scheduling. Always on time and my dog loves her. I enlisted her services because of my bad back, and she has been a miracle while I try to fix my back issues. 1000/10 would book again!”
“Jeannie is the best!! We had a long day of Dr.’s appointments in NYC. Knowing that Jeannie was going to come over to walk and feed our dog Matti put our minds at ease on what was a very stressful day. We knew Matti was in kind, caring, dependable hands. We will definitely seek out Jeannie’s services again!!”
“Alexa is beyond great! She is a pitbull aficionado and I’m sure she knows a lot about other dogs as well. I feel blessed to have found her! My dog absolutely loves her! She knows so much about dogs that I’m learning from her. Thank you so much Rover for getting us together. I am beyond grateful.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Shannon and Justin have been absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Aria! They are reliable, communicative, and clearly care so much about the dogs they look after. We always feel at ease knowing Aria is in such good hands. She gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care during their visits, and they give us great updates each time. It’s such a relief to know we can trust them when we’re at work or away. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable and loving pet sitters!”

About: I am a rescue dog owner of 3 large dogs. My oldest is 10 and my youngest is 6. My passion and love for animals is huge and I love all dogs of any size and type.

I currently work full time from 8am-4pm locally and am available for walks any time after 4:30pm during the work week. Available for weekend opportunities as well.

Yeni was awesome, she took a pretty last minute request to walk our sweet little Doggie and was nothing but professional and easy to communicate with. It was such a relief to know while we were out for an extended evening that Yeni had our pup taken care of, receiving a photo of Opal on her walk was such a nice touch.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
