“Arianna was a great caretaker for my senior cat. She was gentle and loving and treated her as if her own. Loved all the pictures that she sent, too. Will be booking with her again! :)”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have always lived with them. I am always asked to take care of friends and families’ pets, even for extensive periods of time. I am a favorite to all dogs I meet, and I take care of them as they are all my own. I have experience bathing, giving medicine, old dogs, and puppies. I get up in the morning before work and then leave at 8. I am home by 5, and take care of the evening schedule. Some days I work remotely. Have a lot of space to walk dogs and a fenced in area to run and play with high energy dogs. They do not have access directly to outside so they cannot run out. Our doors are always locked, so they can only be taken out by me with their leash on.
About: Hello! My name is Alexandra and I am a very experienced pet caregiver! I have always been surrounded by and cared for a variety of animals and have taken that passion and am making it into a career. I would love to give one of the most valued member of your family the company and care they need! I have experience with puppies and kittens as well as senior animals! High energy and maintenance dogs are a big specialty of mine as well! I love training and working on obedience and commands. I am currently taking this time in my life to dedicate myself to pet care. I have my own transportation and am available for last minute bookings as well as future ones planned well in advance! I offer a variety of services as well. I love walks and drop in visits! Giving a fur baby some company is the best feeling! Walking is so therapeutic and the time spent outside in nature with the dogs is heaven and there is nowhere else I’d rather be!
“Walter was so courteous and showed up on time every day and I could tell me animals were taken care of. He even offered more support for the animals for an extended period when my travel was impacted by the snow. He came 2x a day for my dogs and played with them and even stayed extra time s few times, and was able to give them medications and feed them, along with my cats as well. He was also very communicative, and followed instructions. I can tell my animals are happy. I will be using Walter again!”

I am young and have the energy to run around with puppies and high energy dogs. I can also take care of senior dogs who just want to sleep. Anything you need I can do! I am currently in school and have pretty open availability! I am always free on the weekends and can always pet sit! Whether is the morning or the afternoon I can do it!

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, I know how important your baby is, my goal is to give your dog safe and happy visits! I am currently on summer break for college so I have a mostly open schedule! I work some days at Aroma Joes and all my other time I am free. I always greet dogs slowly by letting them sniff my hand and get used to my scent, I have walked dogs since a kid and know how to handle dogs that pull.
“Xinlin did a wonderful job with my cat (and my aquarium). Her demeanor was friendly, her timing was prompt (even though I'm lenient with timing windows), and she exudes her affection for felines. She followed my instructions, got some playtime in, and messaged me about any questions she had rather than act on assumptions like I've had other sitters do. Surprisingly, she took some wonderful photos of my cat in action, something that is hard for even ME to do. I'll definitely using her services again. Thanks Xinlin!”


About: Hi there! Pet First Aid and CPR Certified I have experience in animal care, handling, and safety. All breed types and sizes. I am also experienced in medication administration, senior care, puppies, and high anxiety dogs. I work at a dog boarding facility and have availability to stop by and give your dog potty walks, breaks, playtimes, and other services you may need.

About: Hello! I’m Liz, a K-1 teacher with a passion for understanding the unique, non-verbal personalities of our beloved pets. With extensive personal experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish, I know that animal communication is all in the details—from a swish of a tail to a specific reptilian posture. I am responsible, nurturing, and looking to fill my extra time by providing capable, knowledgeable care for your "fur kids." Whether it’s high-energy dog walking or keeping your scaled/finned friends on their specific schedules, your pets will be safe, loved, and thoroughly engaged. I am currently working as a teacher in the afternoon and have morning and evening availability M-F for dog walking, daily check-in's, house sitting and more. As a K-1 teacher, I specialize in "reading the room" and picking up on non-verbal cues, a skill that allows me to provide an exceptional level of observant, intuitive care for your pets. My approach is rooted in safety and structured communication; I don’t just "stop by," but instead actively monitor body language—from a cat’s tail swish to a reptile’s posture—to ensure every animal is thriving. You can expect detailed updates after every visit regarding behavior, appetite, and health, giving you total peace of mind while you're away. Whether I’m double-checking heat and humidity settings for your exotic pets or maintaining hyper-vigilance during dog walks, I treat your home and "fur kids" with the highest level of professional responsibility, ensuring your space is secure and your pets feel safe, seen, and loved.

“Thank you so so much! Alexa was so kind and easy to work with! I would suggest her to anyone! She made my vacation very comforting knowing she took care of my kitties so well with all the pictures! Thank you so much and cannot wait to book in the future for future vacations!”


About: Hello & welcome to my profile! I have been blessed by growing up around animals my entire life! My older brother has had dogs as small as a Poodle/Chihuahua mix (Ari) and as large as a Newfoundland (Armand - which I was able to help leash train)! My brother has relied on me multiple times to take care of them, and I do so lovingly! In Ari’s later years, he trusted me to give him his medication, special diet food, and assist him walk around. Additionally, I grew up around cats for as long as I can remember and currently have two of my very own. Not only cats & dogs, but bunnies, gerbils, and guinea pigs are all animals I have taken care of under my own roof! I know that each pet has their own personality and therefore needs specialized care. I know how much I think about my own when I am away from them, and I would be honored to lovingly take care of them so you don’t have to stress it! I currently work full time M-F, but am consistently done with work by 3:00/4:00 pm. This gives me plenty of time to stop by and care for your animals during the week part time, or full time on the weekends! Within my own home, I make sure to be proactive with making sure my cats have fresh water and food in their bowls at consistent times. I do not currently own any pet supplies for a dog and I live in a one bedroom apartment with limited space. I am happy to house smaller animals when need be and take care of all other pets within their own furever home!
About: I’ve been around dogs the last 20 years and I’ve been taking care of dogs for the last 14 years of my life. I love them and I couldn’t imagine my life without them. I’ve learned everything I know from my parents who’ve had dogs for 32 years I am 100% free and available whenever you may need I prefer having two days heads up before I can make the plan, but I can also show up For same-day visits as needed I have 2 3-year-old Samoyed girls that are absolute sweethearts who would love to have another puppy or dog hanging out in our fenced in back yard , I can crate your dog easily if needed.
About: I understand how important it is to leave your pet in the care of someone you trust -someone who's not just reliable, but who genuinely connects with animals. That's the kind of care I provide. I've spent most of my life around pets, especially cats, and I helped raise my brother's golden retriever, Katie, from the time she was a puppy. I was her main caregiver-handling walks, feeding, playtime, and regular visits to the dog park. Katie was sweet but very submissive, which meant she sometimes got overwhelmed in social settings. Through that, I learned to read subtle body language cues and step in calmly when needed. What really sets me apart is my patience and intuitive approach, especially with shy or anxious dogs. I let pets come to me on their own terms, creating space for trust to grow naturally. I've been told I have a calming presence that helps nervous pets relax and feel safe. If you're looking for someone who will treat your animal like a member of the family-and keep your home clean and cared for in the process -I'd love to help. I'll be ready to provide my time to help serve your pet at about 5:00 pm on the weekdays and I have all weekends off. Your pet's emotional well-being is just as important as their physical care. I always approach animals with patience, respect, and kindness. You'll never see me raise my voice or use harsh corrections- because fear doesn't build trust, it breaks it. Instead, I rely on calm communication, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I speak to pets in a moderate, reassuring tone and give them the time they need to feel comfortable. Whether your dog is full of energy or needs extra reassurance, I adapt to their needs to create a low-stress, safe environment where they can feel secure and understood.

“Jennifer is great with my 7-month old German Shepherd Koda, I will occasionally have her stop by to give him a potty break in the middle of the day if I'm going to be working late. She takes him out, refills his water bowl and makes sure he is happy :) she also sends me photo updates every time too :)”

Pelham dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jessica was outstanding handling my dog Zeus who's very difficult because her his size at times. She was able to get him to relax and she played with him and stay the extra time with them because she just loves animals. I've tried other cities and without a doubt she's the best one I've come across. Zeus gets all excited when he sees her and that tells me everything I need to know because he doesn't take well with everybody. If you can use her you should You won't be disappointed she's awesome and I highly recommend her.
