“Nheli is so good with our dog. Highly recommend her!”
About: ❤️😻🐶❤️🐾I’ve been an animal lover my whole life!! I was a dog walker for one year, but there was too much driving involved everyday so I had to stop unfortunately. The pet sits I’ve done since then and now have been through close friends, not Rover, which may explain the little history I have on this app, but I have a lot more experience in real life. Thank you. I truly cherish any time that I get with a furry friend because they are so inherently loving and pure. I’m a fan of Ceasar Milan’s work and have learned a lot from him about animal communication and training. My best skill is being loving. I bring a calm and peaceful energy that works well with most animals. I can also be energetic and active if that is what is needed as well. I’m the person who might go to a party, but you’ll find me tucked away with the animals in the house hanging out with them instead! 😂 I’ve been a dog walker, and have sat for many different cats and dogs of my friends who unfortunately are not on Rover, but any one of them would vouch for me! I’m available most mornings and evenings because I’m working part time at 2 jobs that have varying and flexible schedules. I would love to sit for your pets on the weekends. And, if you are local to Albany, I can drop in several times during the day. I am respectful of each pet's and clients varying needs. Directions I will easily follow, and go above and beyond any way that I can! I being a loving and peaceful attitude to all environments I work in, you can believe your pet(s) will be in great hands..
“Chloe clicked with my dog Ellie instantly, they loved each other during the meet and greet. We left Ellie in good hands for one day with Chloe. She stopped by several times during the day and next day to make sure Ellie was well fed and loved. The pictures she sent made me relieved that Ellie was well taken care of while I was away. I’ll definitely be asking her to care for my dog next time I’m away 💛.”
“Communicative and professional!”
About: With a senior pitbull-lab mix and an energetic husky at home, I’m experienced in balancing the care of dogs with vastly different needs. I understand the patience and gentleness required for older dogs, as well as the energy and engagement needed to keep active breeds happy. This gives me the versatility to care for a wide range of dogs with confidence and compassion. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine when I’m home from college. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, so it’s a joy to prioritize their care during my breaks or free time. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just giving them companionship, I’m all in when it comes to ensuring they’re happy and cared for. When caring for pets, safety and trust are my top priorities. In my clients' homes, I ensure pets stay in a familiar, stress-free environment, following their established routines for feeding, exercise, and play. I’m attentive to any specific instructions, like administering medications or sticking to dietary restrictions. I always maintain a clean, safe space, secure doors and gates, and keep harmful items out of reach. I build trust by giving pets my full attention and offering plenty of affection and patience, making sure they feel comfortable and loved while you're away.
“We went on a 10 day trip to Europe. One of our dogs is a pit/rottie mix so we were especially worried about a sitter entering the house while we were away. Helene was amazing. She got along with the dogs wonderfully. We received photos of our babies playing every day. It was such a relief. We weren't worried at all with our dogs in Helene's care. Helene helped make our vacation worry-free.”
About: I have the ability to reinforce basic commands like sit, stay, and recall during walks or sitting sessions. I have the ability to channel their boundless energy in a productive way, whether through play or structured exercise. I have a 11 year old pit bull which gives me experience with caring for a senior dog but understanding the slower pace, possible joint pain, or health issues that may require extra care. Being observant of subtle signs of discomfort, such as limping & notifying the owner if needed. Knowledge of how to administration oral medications & liquids. I am currently an entrepreneur which gives me more free time to provide the necessary care for your pet care. With such a flexible schedule I’m able to be available any day & anytime My two dogs are fenced it at home where they have a nice big yard to exercise & run around. I also take them on frequent walks especially the senior dog to be able to be more mobile on his legs.
About: I have been taking care of pets for over 20 years, starting with my first job as a dog walker and pet sitter. I have continued this on the side in addition to my full-time profession (teacher) and would love to provide an open door for your dog(s) as well! My schedule is very fluid and I get multiple breaks throughout the day, so there will be very little alone time for your dog, however, as a teacher and a coach I have some weekdays that are busier and your dog may be left in the home for 2.5 hour windows until I return from coaching. I will ask you to provide any specifics in terms of pet care for your dog prior to having me pet-sit, unless there are no special requests. If no special requests are given, I take the dogs out about 4 times per day - twice for short bathroom trips, one short walk, and one extended walk. If the dog is older or lower energy I will adjust the extended walk to another short walk.
“Alyssa does amazing work! She knows what to do and is very observant and considerate. The rover cards are always thoroughly detailed and descriptive! The house is how I found it when we left. Thank you soo much for taking great care of my puppies!”
“Cathy came to let my 12 week old puppy out for a break while we were away all day. All went great. Pictures and texts were a great reassurance. Thank you!!”
“Katie was great! She was very responsive and helped keep us at ease while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond for us while we were away. We had a building fire next door and she came over that night to check and make sure our cat was fine. I can not recommend Katie enough!!”
About: I’ve taken care of our family dog primarily for her entire life of 12.5 years. We unfortunately lost her about two years ago and I just miss that companionship a lot. I work remotely so I go on long walks everyday after work by myself and they’re just not the same. I would love to help out families with this care, and it’d genuinely bring me so much joy to do so. I walk between 3-6 miles everyday and would love nothing more than a buddy to join me on these walks. I work remotely with a very flexible schedule so it’s easy for me to get out throughout the workday and go for a walk. I also already go on long walks after work everyday by myself, and going on a walk before the workday starts is easy too. Weekends I’m usually around also. I’ve recently moved out of my parents home, and into a luxury apartment, in a one bedroom unit with a den. My apartment accepts any and all breeds, and there is a great dog walking path behind our building, as well as it being in a great neighborhood with many houses nearby to go walking. I currently live by myself and have no other pets. If I were to go to your house instead, I would stop by as many times as requested throughout the day.

About: Animals are the center of my universe. I grew up with animals of all kinds; cats, dogs, bunnies, hamsters, birds, fish, ferrets. I’m currently a mom to a female golden retriever, two beautiful ferret daughters and a baby boy bird. I hope to retire one day and own an animal rescue farm. I believe it is our job as humans to give all sentient beings the absolute best love and care and to make sure they feel safe. I am keen to make sure wildlife is safe wherever possible. I’ll pull over on the side of the road to help turtles cross to the other side of the reservoir. On a daily basis I will prioritize every animal from the moment I wake up. I can and will do it all. Feeding, cleaning, walking, playing, giving them love and attention. As I mentioned above, animals are the center of my universe. I want each and every animal to trust me and feel safe with me while under my care.

5. Abagail S.
“I have known Abby as a young woman and as a dog walker for a couple of years and I could not speak more highly of her! She is so sweet, responsible and reliable. She met my dog, Brody prior to dog sitting him, and walked around the neighborhood with me, seeing how he was on leash and asking any questions about his walk schedule and his needs. Abby has such a wonderful energy about her and Brody absolutely adores her. She sent many pictures of her and Brody to make me feel better being away. You can tell that Abby is such a dog lover. In all of the pictures both she and Brody always looked so happy. Abby has watched Brody for me at various points throughout the year and is always cognizant of the weather when determining the best times to get his long walks in for exercise (e.g. early morning in the summer, and early evening before it gets dark in the winter). I am a very anxious dog owner and am always worried to leave him in someone else's care and I can wholeheartedly say that the only time I do not worry is when Brody is under Abby's love and care. 10/10 recommend!”

“Jaz is a True Dog Whisperer! I can’t say enough good things about Jasmine and their incredible way with dogs! They have a natural, calming presence that makes every dog feel safe and loved. Whether it’s training, pet-sitting, or just spending time with them, Jasmine treats every pup like their own, with patience, kindness, and an endless supply of belly rubs. I’ve seen firsthand how dogs are drawn to her—it’s like they speak the same language! They are always attentive to a dog’s needs, ensuring they get enough exercise, playtime, and affection. They also have a great understanding of dog behavior, knowing exactly how to handle different temperaments and situations. Definitely recommend her services and trust that your fur baby will be safe!”
8. Tyler J.
“We highly recommend Tyler for any assignments taking care of your pet! He stayed over with our black labrador “Bars” and took great care of him, took long walks, played ball and fed him in timely manner. Tyler was always on time and demonstrated great patience and genuine love for dogs. We trust him and know we can rely on him always. Bars is always excited to see you!”

17. Lynda L.
“I have known Lynda a long time. We call her “Ellie Mae Clampett”. She is truly the most involved caregiver for animals I have yet to encounter in my 60+ years. Lynda has taken care of our 2 golden retrievers until these two dogs were 16 and 17 years old. She frequently involved herself with our English Shepard and now with our newer golden. A dedicated animal lover to the core. Lynda has also cared for an Eclectus parrot that was in our home for several years. That bird was very hard for anyone to get close to…Lynda did and handled him easily and with his permission. If there is anyone I would have in my home to responsibly take care of my animals…Lynda is a first choice always. Trustworthy and sincere should be her middle names.”
