“Abby is an excellent dog walker! She is 100% reliable, communicates well and responds quickly. My dog loves when she visits! I highly recommend Abby.”


“Michelle is an absolute gem of a dog walker! From the moment she met my Guster, I knew we were in good hands. Her genuine love for animals is clear in everything she does — from the way she greets Gussy with enthusiasm each visit, to the thoughtful updates and photos she sends after every walk. Michelle is dependable, professional, and truly treats Guster like her own. My dog lights up when she sees Michelle, and I have total peace of mind knowing hes being cared for with such kindness and attention. Rain or shine, Michelle always shows up with a smile and ensures my biy gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and love. Finding someone you can trust to care for your animal as you do is no small thing, and I’m incredibly grateful to have found Michelle. If you’re looking for someone who’s reliable, caring, and simply amazing with dogs — look no further. Michelle is the best!”

About: Growing up, we always had animals in the house. We currently have Milo, a handsome but stubborn Chow German Shepard mix and Frankie, a rambunctious orange tabby. We also have Lucy, a petite black cat. I’m comfortable administering medication, such as insulin, if necessary. I started using Rover as a way to get more involved in animal care. I received my MBA from Stony Brook University in 2019 and have been searching for something I’m really passionate about. I truly believe that animal care could be my future. I hope to work with a Vet or create my own business someday. If you have anymore questions, please feel free to reach out. Thanks! ! ! I currently have a full time job with a hybrid schedule and I have my own car. I have hour long breaks and a lot of flexibility on my work-from-home days. I have a fenced in backyard where my dog and cat like to roam. Taking dogs to parks can be tricky if they do not socialize well with others.

About: I follow instructions that are left for the pet, I interact with the pet alot and treat it as my own. I make sure it is given unconditional love and care that all animals deserve!! Part time in the afternoons or on the weekends with advanced notice. During the week after 5pm and on the weekends between 10am-9pm, unless it’s overnight then the hours are more flexible. I am in an enclosed apartment, that is spacious and has a patio for the pet to chill with fresh air. I also have a lot of areas to play around the complex that is friendly to four legged creatures, I live near numerous outdoor amenities including parks and beaches for the pet to explore. The entire neighborhood is very welcoming to pets and it could easily make a play date.

About: From fish and frogs and hamsters to dogs and cats I have had and also taken care of many different animals. I had a yellow lab growing up for 17 years and she was mine and my family’s whole world. Now I spend my time taking care of friends pets when they are away and my neighbors two adorable cats. One of which was adopted as an outdoor stray so he sometimes comes over to my house for some food, belly rubs, and a nap. I was always the go to person for my neighbors for pet sitting and I hope to expand my services and love for animals to a wider range. I work as a chemistry teacher and do not currently have a Summer job so my availability is flexible. There are times where I may have other obligations so clear and advanced communication is greatly appreciated! I am available to visit 1-4 times a day and happy to go for walks twice a day. I will typically visit morning/early afternoon to later afternoon/early evening. But I can stop by at different times if needed such as for specific feeding or medicine times. From past experience I know that every animal is different in both personality and needs. Whether that is feeding at certain times, certain food preparation, or just having a calm demeanor. Just like being a teacher, I am accommodating and would love to provide proper care for each individual animals needs. I also check and double check any directions and will make sure to provide the care that your pet needs.

About: I’ve taken care of family pets for as long as I can remember. From baby to senior, I’ve taken care of dogs and cats. I currently have a bearded dragon so I have no issue with “exotic” animals. Family friends have let me pet sit. I walk family dogs at least twice a day depending on energy levels. I’ve just graduated college and am in the middle of transitioning from college to adult life, so I have a very open schedule at the moment and my hours are quite flexible during this time. I would be capable of feeding, and walking the pets. I can clean out litter boxes or enclosures. Play time so that the pet could release some energy.

“I can’t recommend Margaret enough as a dog walker. She is incredibly consistent, always on time, and genuinely cares about pups. Also she is not only trustworthy but treats your dog like her own which builds peace of mind as a pet owner. Dogs absolutely love her, and it’s clear she loves them right back!”

“If you are in need of a carer for your pets, look no further. I have known Danielle for over a decade and in that time I saw her care for her elderly dog, befriend a neighborhood cat who now visits almost daily, and saw her interact with my own animals. The care she gave to her elderly dog is how I want to be treated when I am up there in my years, the neighborhood cat at this point has basically adopted Danielle, and there is no one I would trust more than Danielle to take care of my adorable pup.”
