“Jose has been amazing! It is very comforting to know that my boys are well cared for when I cannot be there. We were able to do a meet and greet before scheduling regular walks. He is punctual, polite, and communicative. I can tell Astor enjoys his walks because every day I have off, like clockwork, he looks for Jose.”

“Jenny is a fabulous, conscientious person and dog walker and we are so glad to have found her through Rover. We look forward to having her walk Frodo when she is available in the future!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the lifetime of experience I bring to every pet I care for. I grew up in a home filled with both cats and dogs, so understanding animal behavior, communication, and comfort has always been second nature to me. I treat each pet like family—patient, attentive, and genuinely in tune with their needs. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who loves walks or a shy dog who just needs quiet companionship, I adjust my care to fit their personality. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel truly at home. I am currently on summer break so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pets! Since I also work my summer job, the times that work best for me are in the mornings and evenings. My approach to pet care is all about creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment—whether in my home or yours. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so I can provide thoughtful, individualized care while their owner is away.
About: I’ve always had a love for animals - and especially cats! I grew up volunteering at animal shelters, working to help socialize both cats and dogs to help them get adopted faster. I started formally cat sitting for friends a few years ago, and it has revitalized my love for taking care of animals. It would be a pleasure to help you with your pet fam! I currently work part time in downtown albany. I will mostly be available afternoons and weekends. I love to go on walks or cozy up with my favorite book. I’d love to have a fur baby join me in these activities! In my experience with cat/dog sitting, I am used to preparing meals, cleaning litter boxes, going on walks, changing water, and play time- in addition to never ending head scratches and belly rubs!
“Lydia was super sweet and attentive! My dog Jada is very territorial and can get picky with the people she lets get close to, and just the fact that she warmed up so quickly to Lydia is a great sign. Lydia kept me posted at all times and sent pictures. She also stayed with Jada when she was nervous after hearing fireworks for the festivities. I will definitely book again with her!”
About: I have 9+ years of experience with walking dogs, and years of experience in feeding, training, playing, and caring for both dogs and cats. My entire life I have always been drawn to animals, and am a huge animal lover! In my early teen years, I worked at a dog daycare where I oversaw the care of up to 14 dogs at one time. It was a huge responsibility, but I looked forward to going to work each shift I had because to me it didn’t even feel like work, it felt like a reward getting to care and play with so many animals. Whenever I go anywhere whether it’s a walk around my college campus, a family or friends house, or the park, I am always immediately drawn to all the dogs I see and always ask if I can take a minute to pet each dog. A multitude of family and friends have consistently told me that it’s evident how much I love animals, and how well I get along with them. I am someone you can trust to make sure your pet gets the best possible care when you are gone. As a former cat owner and current dog owner myself, I know just how much love and care pets need on a day to day basis. Whenever I am away from my dog who is my bestfriend in the whole world, I definitely can feel anxious or stressed. I am dedicated to keeping pet parents up to date on the wellbeing of your pets with photos, videos, up to date messages and anything else you’d like as a pet parent (I am happy to do facetime calls too!!). I will always be available and reachable when I am with your pet to answer any questions, concerns, or even just send over some extra photos if you are really missing your furry companion! Additionally, your pets wellbeing and safety is my top priority. I have worked hard to familiarize myself with signs of distress and discomfort in animals, and if anything doesn’t look right I will not hesitate to jump into action to make sure your pet is safe. My dog has had a few scary incidents, and as difficult as it was, it helped to prepare me to know the signs when something is not right and know what to do in case of an emergency. I decided to join rover because I wanted the opportunity to help take care and hangout with animals on a regular basis because it is truly something I absolutely love. I am hard working, enthusiastic, dedicated, and I will care for your pet as if it is my own. I hope you will consider entrusting me to care for such a valuable member of your family! • * Please note I require meet and greets with all potential pet clients BEFORE bookings!* I am currently working part time, so I have lots of extra time to care for your furry companion. I am very flexible, and when I am not working my other job I have a very open schedule to care for your pet! Currently, I offer services within the clients home for anything ranging from a quick walk or check in with your pet to overnights. I am very flexible, and will work with you to get to know what routine works best for your pet. At this time due to a family members allergy, I am not able to offer boarding services in my home.
“Another amazing dog walk with Erica! Walks, playing fetch and lots of cuddles . No wonder his eyes perk up and his tail wags like crazy when he hears her name !”
About: Hello my name is Emily and I have been with dogs my entire life. I had a big dog named Lucy and a small dog named Oliver, which I love very dearly. I have taken care of many different dogs from big to small and have enjoyed playing, walking, and teaching them tricks. I have baby sat here and there whenever I was needed and it would always bring a smile to my face. My family and I are huge dog lovers. I think what sets me apart from other dog sitters is that I would rather spend more time with them then do other things. I love walking with them and showing them everything that there is to see in a dogs point of view.

“Great communication & service. I was in a terrible predicament &;Heather was great & alleviated a lot of stress. My dog is a great judge of character & he took to Heather immediately. Highly recommend”
anna a.
“I have known Anna for a little bit over 8yrs. From coworkers to friends outside of work. One of our mutual interests was our love for animals. Anna has 4 dogs Barbara, Tommy, Spumoni, and Nelson. I was there for her first dog and for the last one. I can safely say she love dogs with all her heart. Having four dogs isn’t easy, but Anna makes it look like it is. She has a schedule with her dogs while also making sure each one is love and cared for in their own special way. Everywhere Anna goes, her dogs are always with her. They are apart of her life. Her family. I have seen her on many occasions and how she acts with her dogs. From spending quality time with each one of them to making sure everyone gets along greatly. She also makes sure her dogs feel safe with not only her, but friends, family, strangers and even each other. She knows how to regulate things when some dogs get a little too aggressive. She understands some dogs need a bit more time than others. She knows how it is to have a dog full of energy as well. Her customer service is amazing. Excellent in communication as well as time management. She knows how much goes into caring and loving a dog. She also know every dog is different. Some might be more playful, others might be shy, some might have separation issues, etc. I think Anna has first hand experience with that, because her dogs are so much different in personality. So she knows how to deal with different dogs. I wouldn’t think anyone else would be more qualified for the job than Anna.”

Normanskill dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jessica helped me out on a VERY last minute notice when my usual walker notified me on Friday mid day that she couldn't come on Saturday! I am SO grateful that Jessica accepted, and did a quick 10 minute meet and greet with my husband and our dogs! She was in constant communication with me; and I am very grateful!!
Caiti was super friendly and personable when she came for a meet and greet with my dog Bella. The following day she walked, fed and administered her medication. I will definitely reach out to Caiti first for any future needs.
My dogs LOVE Bradley. He’s been so helpful to my family and I - always showing up on time and even helping us out last minute - I cannot say enough good things about him and would highly recommend him to anyone !
Lynne is so kind and patient with my old dog. She's able to gently coax him outside for his much needed walks. Thankful to have her help!
Mackenzie clearly loves dogs! She was attentive and affectionate with mine and took her for a long walk - both returned looking happy!
Daniel is the best and also super down to earth. He has walked our dog on multiple occasions with no issue and on short notice. He goes above and beyond by also feeding him when he goes by. We really appreciate having him to help. Thank you!
