Noelle is an absolute gem! This was her first meeting with Finn, and it couldn’t have gone better. From the moment they met, it was clear she has a natural way with dogs—Finn instantly adored her! Not only does she make sure Finn gets plenty of exercise, but she also keeps me updated with adorable photos, which gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in such loving hands. She’s reliable, friendly, and truly goes the extra mile to make sure Finn is happy and well cared for. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, caring, and all-around wonderful dog walker, Noelle is the one! Highly recommend!

About: I bring a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, along with the patience and compassion I've developed helping care for my grandmother. Growing up with a dog of my own and being surrounded by dogs through family and friends has taught me that every pet has a unique personality and deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. Helping care for my grandmother has strengthened my sense of responsibility, attentiveness, and empathy. I've learned the importance of noticing the little things, maintaining routines, and providing comfort and companionship. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, an energetic adult, or a senior who needs extra patience and gentle care, I'll treat them with the same kindness and attention I would give my own family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays, and after 1 PM on Saturdays. While I work in a pediatrics office on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, I am able to check on pets before work, during my break, and again after work to ensure they receive consistent care, companionship, exercise, and attention throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's routine and will do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I take the time to learn each pet's needs, including feeding schedules, exercise preferences, medications, and any special instructions. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and potty breaks while ensuring they feel secure and loved. In a client's home, I respect their space and work to keep their pet's routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress. In my home, pets are welcomed into a clean, safe, and caring environment where they receive supervision, companionship, and plenty of love. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make their time away from their family as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.

I reached out to Alison when I was sick and unable to walk my dog, Ace, and she responded right away. She was kind, friendly, and very reliable throughout the booking. Ace absolutely loved her—every time he came back from a walk, he didn't even want to come back inside! It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog walker. 🐾💕

About: I've been caring for pets professionally for over 10 years. I'm not just a caregiver; I'm a devoted pet parent myself. My own fur babies are like my children, and I treat every pet I care for with the same love, attention, and respect. I work full time but with a very flexible schedule. I work from home & occasionally go into the city. I’m comfortable with all age groups Whether it's daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping your pet company while you're away, I bring patience, experience, and genuine affection to every visit. I understand how important it is to feel your pet is in good hands--and that's exactly what I strive to provide.

About: Pet care isn’t just a service for me — it’s a relationship built on trust, routine, and respect for your pet’s personality. I take time to get to know each animal beyond the basics: their quirks, comforts, and communication style. What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive approach — I read subtle behavior cues and adjust care accordingly, making even anxious or shy pets feel secure. I don't just follow instructions; I anticipate needs and treat your home and animals with the same care I’d give my own. It’s not just about keeping pets safe — it’s about keeping them happy, understood, and emotionally balanced while you’re away. I’m available for pet sitting full time, which means I can offer flexible scheduling, prompt responses, and dedicated attention to your pet’s needs — whether it's a one-time visit, daily care, or extended stays. Because this is my primary focus, I’m able to adapt to a wide range of routines, provide consistent companionship, and be there when last-minute needs arise. Your pet’s well-being is my priority, and my full-time commitment ensures they receive reliable, responsive, and attentive care every step of the way. Whether caring for pets in my home or in my client’s, I create a safe, calm, and loving environment tailored to each animal’s needs. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of attention, play, and rest — just like they would with family. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routines consistent and their surroundings familiar, which helps reduce stress while you're away. In both settings, I treat every pet with the same respect and affection I would give my own, ensuring they feel secure, seen, and genuinely cared for.

About: I’ve raised my own dog since he was a puppy, so I know exactly what dogs need at every stage. From early morning walks to keeping them entertained and fed, it’s just part of my daily routine. I didn’t just own a dog I grew up with him. Your dog will get the same attention and care I give mine every single day. Dogs get a morning walk around 10–10:30am, then they’re free to relax in the living room or hang out in the fenced backyard. Once it cools down in the evening I take them out again around 6–7pm. During the day they have access to the backyard for potty breaks whenever they need it. Before bed there’s one last walk around 11–11:30pm so they’re settled for the night. I have a fenced backyard so dogs can roam and play safely without any worry. I own a friendly dog myself so your pup will have a buddy to hang out with. We’re in a house so there’s plenty of space to move around and get comfortable. Dogs are welcome on the furniture I want them to feel at home, not like they’re in a strange place.

About: Rest assured that you won’t meet anyone else more in love with animals than me (i hope!) I’m a currently a first year veterinary student studying abroad! Since my time home in New York is limited, I find myself wanting to spend as much time as I can with animals instead of textbooks, which is where dog walking and pet sitting comes in! Having worked as a technician in an animal hospital where I saw it all, I can confidently say I have not met a single animal I do not like! I am more than comfortable working with all stages of life, furry friends who may need a little help with medicine, shy babies who may not want to be friends right away, you name it! I am currently home for winter break from school without any other day time job or commitments, I can provide services on most days if needed! Just message and I’ll be more than happy to work something out :) I want to treat your pets like they are my own, all animals deserve to be treated with love and respect and I will do my best to provide that comfort.

About: I have cared for my own pets since I was a child. I’ve always loved animals and have always had pets. I’ve rescued and helped strays cats along with my other family members. One of my most special cats had asthma and had to use and inhaler. I am capable handling medical needs for pets as I’ve also owned english bulldogs and they’ve had various skin allergies so I’m aware of allergy needs for special cats and dogs. I’ve recently started caring for chickens too lol. I have enough patience to help with basic training such as give paw/high fives, potty training and sit. My own pets have made it senior ages as well and am aware of older pets needs. I currently work and help care for my dad a few days a week, and I do my pet sitting at his house. He has a spacious yard where dogs can run around and play. My brother and sister also help care for our dad and pets, so they’re often around to lend a hand with pet sitting as well. I provide daily basic grooming and baths, nail trimming, medication administration, and regular walks. I also offer plenty of belly rubs and ear scratches! I clean up after the pets, prepare their meals, and ensure they are well-fed and cared for.

About: Growing up, I have always looked after dogs of close friends and family, and have studied nutrition and health, which led me to work at a pet hotel for about a year with almost every dog breed. My responsibilities included prepping food, cleaning, 1 on 1 play, and group play. I have been in charge of up to 20 dogs at 1 time. I also co-own a dog named Luna. The other owner and I had Luna since she was a puppy and she is now 5 years old. I teach obedience/behavior training to many dogs and I develop trust with dogs that is unique to my experience with various breeds. It takes patience and consistency to be a great leader for dogs and I wear my heart on my sleeve for every dog I'm caring for; communication with your dog is key. I currently work with dogs full time and make Dog care apart of my every day routine, if I'm not with my dog I'm working with other dogs. I have a good size open backyard and toys depending on the play style of your dog; crate training is much appreciated if they are familiar. Walks are frequent, especially for high energy dogs

About: I am a former animal care specialist at Pet N’ Play Luxury Resort, when I was living in upstate NY. Currently living in Bushwick, and at the resort I supported cats and dogs for overnight stay at our daycare, as well as the veterinary hospital next door (Middlehope Hospital)! I worked with animals for playtime, feeding, laundry, cleanup, walks, and maintained their health and wellness report cards everyday. I have supported puppies at least 4 months old, blind, deaf, and senior dogs. CATS: I’ve taken care of cats at the hospital, and as a Walden Humane Society Volunteer! Love all cats, but I can only stay at the home if they are hypoallergenic :o at the moment i have availability after 3pm on weekdays, and anytime weekends! i work part-time in event staffing, and im very comfortable in nyc day and night, as im originally from queens :D. please feel free to contact me if you have further questions :) I’m not able to bring pets to my residence, however I’m currently offering dog walking and dog sitting! I love to spend time with dogs through use of toys or companionship, walks, talking to them, petting, being by their side, or inviting them to sit with me!

About: I’ve been caring for and training dogs since I was 10 years old, developing hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds over the years. My experience includes two beloved family dogs—Zeus, a 120-pound Pitbull, and our old senior dog Hannah, a 65-pound Whippet Mix—as well as others such as Cane Corsos, Maltipoos, Labradors, French Bulldogs, and English Mastiffs. Currently, I am attending Penn State University, where I am pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. My hands-on experience, combined with my academic focus, has provided me with unique insights into animal behavior, health, and training techniques. I am dedicated to creating a safe, loving, and structured environment that brings out the best in every pet I care for. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily life. I’m very active and prioritize exercise, so taking dogs on walks and runs is not only part of my routine but also a great way to bond, provide enrichment, and reinforce training. These outings help dogs stay physically and mentally stimulated—and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Additionally for senior dogs, I pay close attention to their behavior and body language, recognizing when they need rest, or extra comfort and support. My academic focus at Penn State revolves around animal care as I pursue a career in veterinary medicine, so I’m constantly learning about animal behavior, health, and wellness. This makes caring for pets both a personal passion and a meaningful extension of my studies. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I follow each pet’s routine closely and provide a clean, secure space. I use positive reinforcement and repetition with treats to encourage good behavior and teach fun tricks. I don’t currently have pets at home, but I offer a fenced yard and plenty of room to play. I pay close attention to each animal’s behavior and adjust care accordingly, and I keep pet parents updated with regular photos, notes, and honest communication to reassure while they’re away.

Durell showed up with a smile and Winter was excited to go every day. We will DEFINITELY be re-booking Durell and Michael for future walks and maybe even boarding.

About: Hi! I’m Ashley! A loving and dependable pet sitter with almost a year of experience and happy client reviews. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM, which means I’m fully available for afternoon and evening walks during the week. I also have open availability on weekends! Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule as I genuinely enjoy spending my free time outdoors and bonding with animals, so being a dog walker is something I look forward to, not just a side gig When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine closely to help their pet feel safe and comfortable. I make sure to stick to feeding schedules, follow any special instructions, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, or calming care depending on their needs. I respect the space I’m in, keep things tidy, and treat each home and pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Clear communication and trust are super important to me, so I always keep owners updated and in the loop!

This was my very first time using Rover, and Taylor made the entire experience so incredibly easy and stress-free. From the moment we connected, she was warm, professional, and reassuring. She kept me updated at all times, sent plenty of adorable pictures, and truly treated my pup, Prince, like her own. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed me to completely relax, and I genuinely appreciated the attention, patience, and kindness Taylor showed him. I couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience, and I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust with my fur baby. Thank you, Taylor, for taking such amazing care of Prince!
