“Logan was wonderful - easy to communicate with, reliable, and did a great job caring for our newfie, Coda. His flexibility in assisting us when we were driving through the area was so appreciated. Would highly recommend.”


About: When I was a kid I dreamed of getting a dog, but my brother's allergies meant that was out of the question. My solution to this was volunteering to walk my friends' dogs or offering to pet sit whenever I could. I put up flyers in my busy apartment building and started getting some steady clients, which quickly became one of my favorite after school activities. I’ve also had the incredible opportunity to work on an animal sanctuary that specialized in caring for animals with behavioral and special needs. I was really able to expand on my skills and put them to the test. My love for all animals drives me to provide the best care for every pet I meet! Caring for your beloved pets brings me joy and I would love to have the opportunity to help. Right now my work schedule is flexible, so feel free to reach out to see if I'm available. I'll follow whatever routines you usually do at home to try and make your fur babies feel at ease. However you typically care for them is how I will try my best to go about it.


“First walk and although he was very, very excited to see Lindsay, she showed up promptly and took him for a walk in the neighborhood to get acquainted with her. He's nice and calm now. Lindsay will be seeing Marshall weekly now!”


About: ** Will be moving to Long Island August 1st ** I have been raised with both cats and dogs throughout my life. I am currently a licensed veterinary technician and waiting to start veterinary school. I am comfortable with all shapes and sizes of dogs/cats. I have experience with both senior dogs/cats as well as puppies and kittens. Administering medication and participating in daily training is also not a problem. I’m currently unemployed while preparing for veterinary school so I have plenty of time to watch your furry family member. I am able to do weekends, early mornings and even late nights. I am unable to bring pets into my home since I have three cats and one dog. I will follow your daily schedule and routine in order to keep your furry family member happy and comfortable. The more instructions and requests the better so I know what needs to be done for your pet

About: I've taken care of animals for over 5 years. I started out with a Leopard Gecko, but got a dog a couple years later. After that, I went to C-Tech and completed their Animal Science program, taking care of reptiles, small mammals, dogs, and even sometimes birds. Rover doesn't offer anything outside of dogs and cats, but if you need something else taken care of I'd be glad to help. My schedule is almost fully free. I've been out of school for a while and I love caring for animals! I don't dogsit as a full time job, but when I get a request I couldn't be happier to oblige! When taking care of animals, my own or someone else's; I can provide the animal with play, bathroom breaks, water & food refills, litter changes, and anything else your pet may need. If there's any special or unique care you need done for your animal, just ask. Leaving your pet with somebody else can be a bit worrying or stressful. If you want to build trust first, we can do as many meets as you'd like! Just say a date and I'm there.

“Lisa Erin is lovely and kind and great with our dog. She was flexible and was not afraid of rain. Most impressive- she asked to meet our dog first to be sure it was a good fit. Great pick”
