Emily is amazing with my dog, Luna. She is always flexible when it comes to scheduling walks and makes sure Luna has everything she needs. Emily is incredibly caring and loving toward her. Luna gets so excited every time Emily arrives to pick her up for a walk. I really appreciate how thoughtful and reliable she is. I wouldn’t choose anyone else to walk Luna!

About: I am a reliable and caring pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have personal experience with different dog breeds, including a Labrador and currently a German Shepherd mix, which has helped me understand different energy levels, behaviors, and needs. I am comfortable with both small and medium dogs, as well as cats, and I always prioritize safety, patience, and a calm, positive environment. I provide attentive care during walks and drop-in visits, including feeding, playtime, and maintaining daily routines. I understand how important trust and consistency are for pets and their owners, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable, attentive care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting on weekdays and weekends. I always make sure pets receive consistent attention, playtime, and care based on their routine. Pets’ safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and stress-free environment and always follow each pet’s routine and specific needs. I’m attentive to behavior, ensure proper feeding, fresh water, and a secure space. I treat every pet with patience, care, and respect as if they were my own.

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life! Sometimes I feel like they get me more than humans! I had a bunny and two cats growing up and also cared for my brother’s pig. I currently have a beautiful puggle named Lulu who I absolutely adore. I am a morning person and live an active life so long walks are my speciality. Also always down to play and snuggle. My lulu has some special needs of her own being paralyzed in her back legs, so I am capable of caring for pets in all conditions. I work part time and have a flexible daily routine so I tend to have free time available for time with the sweet fur babies. I have a spacious and clean home right across the street from a beautiful park so I am capable of providing a fun and safe space for your pet right at home.

About: I’ve taken care of all different types of breeds across different ages for over 10 years. I’ve helped families with walking, feeding, playing and bathing dogs. I have a full time job working from 9am-5pm during the weekdays. I can help walking dogs in the weekends and after 5pm during the weekdays. I can easily crate dogs, take for long walks and spend quality time. Would prefer to take care for dog in their residence instead of mine.

About: I have always had a dog, cat or parrot in my life. My experience is not only with my own pets but with family, friends and neighbors' beloved ones as well. I trained parrots in NYC for many years and have years of experience training dogs. I am available most weekdays and weekends as needed. My schedule is very flexible and can't imagine a better way to spend my time than taking care of your beloved pet. I love animals more than anything. So much so that I am a vegetarian out of respect for all living beings. I will walk, pet, play with any animal large or small and am very compassionate and intuitive to the needs of dogs, cats, and parrots.

About: I've had cats my entire life & I have a few years experience pet sitting for and walking dogs and would love for it to become a regular part of my life again. I enjoy spending time with animals sometimes more than people. I'm a college student and a caregiver currently so feel free to reach out with questions about availability. I have a constantly changing schedule and I may be available more than what's marked here. I take care of my own 2 cats daily, and I'd love to take care of more pets in between my work hours or on my days off. I've been in an environment with animals as long as I can remember feeding them, scooping litter boxes, and my favorites giving love, and playing.

About: I'm currently volunteering at Whiskers Cat Rescue cleaning cages and socializing cats. I am comfortable administering medications to cats. I have owned a small dog in the past. My current cats are a wobbly boy with Cerebellar Hypoplasia and a super senior (21yrs!) old lady cat. My schedule is really flexible right now. I'm not free a few times through the week and weekend but for no longer than a few hours. I'm very patient with animals, especially more skittish ones. You need to work with them even if it takes time to develop a relationship or trust.

About: Growing up, I had a Lab and then a Boxer and two cats. I've also helped my aunt at the doggie daycare she runs out of her home where she often has more than 10 dogs at a time. Everything from a Great Pyrenees to German Shepherds to Doodles to Yorkies. And it's always so much fun! The care I'll give your pets will really depend on them and their needs. There's a very large unfenced grass area behind my apartment building that would be perfect for walks or play. And there are multiple parks in the area too we could explore. At yours, I'd keep whatever their normal routine is. Whether that's taking walks, throwing the ball or just sitting and chilling and scratching butts. Their butts of course!

About: I grew up with dogs and cats. So caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I believe they truly are your family. I've cared for dogs and cats for friends and more recently focusef on pet sitting in the home for their owners while they are way. I'm semi retired which gives me more flexibility to care for your sweet loved one. I'm currently working part time which gives me more flexibility to walk the dog during the day and or evening and avail on weekends as well as pet sitting for long trips. If it's a medium just small dog I can take care of your pet at my home It's a condo but we have plenty of yard to walk it and walk around the neighborhood. Although has to be on a lease. Or I can come pet sit in your house if you would prefer.

About: Having no human children of my own I have always gravitated towards animals. I have cared for dogs for over 25 years. I have worked with all different types and temperaments. Dogs with anxiety, dogs with dog aggression and dog friendly, well adjusted dogs. When I take care of your dog I am very thoughtful to their specific needs and what makes them most comfortable and content. I will follow whatever routine is in place or go on adventures. I will ensure the safety and happiness of your pets. Whether drop in visits or walks I will be professional, on time, reliable and dependable. The most important thing in my life is my dog (other than my husband) and I will treat your pets as my own. l have been a customer of Rover for many years and know how much a good sitter means to me. I would like the opportunity to be that for you. Meet and greet is a requirement to ensure your dog is comfortable with me and it is how I start a great relationship with each pet in my care. Knowing the animals temperament, likes and dislikes, feeding and walking schedule will help make the experience a very positive one for all of us!! I am currently available most evenings and weekends. I generally do not have availability weekdays during regular business hours at this time but will work with you to see if I can modify my schedule to see if we can work together. The safety of your dog is my top priority. I will always have your sweet pup on a leash and will take the time they need to explore and get some exercise. I am mindful of areas that have ticks and always conduct a thorough check of the dog (s) upon return to your home.

About: I have always had a deep love and respect for animals, particularly our furry companions. Growing up, I cared for a variety of pets, which helped shape my lifelong passion for animal care. Currently, I work as a Kennel Technician at a pet daycare, where I care for both dogs and cats on a daily basis. I am also certified in pet first aid and CPR, ensuring I am prepared to respond to emergency situations with confidence and care. I am currently employed at a doggie daycare, with a rotating weekly schedule. My shifts typically fall between either 7:00 AM–3:30 PM or 12:00 PM–7:30 PM. Please feel free to reach out in advance, and I’ll be happy to provide my availability! I share my home with one dog and three cats, and since I live in an apartment without a fenced yard, I take my dog on multiple leashed walks each day. If your dog were to stay with us, they would enjoy regular walks in our grassy areas, as well as access to nearby walking trails just a short distance away. When caring for pets in their own home, I strongly believe in the importance of routines and consistency. I always follow specific instructions to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
