“We had a lovely meet and greet with Barbara. She was great with Dot while we were away as we could tell from her messages and pictures - and that Dot was a happy little critter when we got home. It's nice to leave Dot with someone we know will take good care of her.”

“Erin is kind and professional, and a great listener and communicator. She was prompt and my dogs absolutely loved her, including my anxious dog who is not quick to trust. Erin made sure to ask questions about their care which I highly appreciated.”

About: I have plenty of love in my heart and home to care for your furry kids. I’m a full time stay at home dog mom who’s here to help love and care for your furry kids. I am offering drop by service. Pet walks, and overnight boarding at my place. Reach out and let’s chat about what your pet care needs are! Full time home body. And have plenty of love (and treats)! I have a golden doodle and a yellow lab who are sweet as can be and excellent with other dogs. I’m here to provide your pet with drop by service, overnight boarding at my home and dog walks ! I’m within walking distance to the rail trail, so your pups will be sure to get daily exercise and outings I’m home full time. Pure love!

About: I didn’t get to experience the joy of growing up with dogs or cats but as soon as I was able I began taking in fosters from the NYC shelter system. It was quite a learning experience spending time with many dogs (and a few cats) of all different types and personalities. I no longer foster but I bring the experience and dedication from working with so many shelter pets to caring for your furry family members. And as a pet parent now myself I have been through many sitters so I understand what makes a good one! A note on boarding and meet and greets: I’m happy to have boarding candidates come by to meet me and check out the space but I do not do meet and greets with my own dogs. My dogs are dog friendly but they are too chaotic and excitable to meet new dogs and owners right away. New dogs are kept separate at first and introduced at their own pace when everyone is calm. This minimizes stress for everyone and allows for better interactions. I currently work out of the house Monday/Wednesday/Friday but my schedule is somewhat flexible. The rest of the week I work at home and I am often available all weekend. Dogs in my home have access to a securely fenced large yard for running and fetch, as well as a quiet neighborhood for walks. If the weather is warm dogs have access to a dog door so they may go outside as they please. If your dog likes to play with other dogs mine will certainly be happy to accommodate but they can also have separate spaces if quiet time is needed. In your home I will make every effort to keep your pets schedule as familiar as possible while offering lots of love and stimulation. As someone who has had many sitters come through and stay at my house I understand the importance of trust and cleanliness so you can be away without worry.

“Venetia was so lovely with our dog who can be difficult with strangers. She was communicative throughout the whole process and flexible with our last minute travel changes. I couldn't ask for a better sitter.”

“Elizabeth was great! She got along well with my (very skittish) cats. All of her visits were on schedule, she checked in with me frequently, and she left everything neat and organized! I would definitely hire her again.”

About: I am a life-long animal lover and an experienced walker and sitter for dogs. I also am great with cat care. I have over 25 years of pet care experience and provide catered attention for each pet I sit whether in your home or mine. I can provide references beyond my Rover testimonials, as I am still relatively new to the app. I have worked in pet care privately for several years. I am a full-time dog walker and pet sitter. I am available for daily walks and pet sitting - whether for a day, week,or longer. I am available to care for your pet in your home if preferred !! I believe it’s important to organize activities according to a pets’ individual needs. I strive to provide all pets in my care with the appropriate exercises and stimulation to meet their daily physical requirements and interests.

About: I have always grown up around dogs ever since I was little. I am a trustworthy pet sitter and love spending time with my pets! I have a lot of free time before I go back to school, and I’m looking for a side job. I love working with animals and I’m looking forward to pet sitting. I won’t be available to pet sit starting August 20th as I am going back to school- I will always make sure the pet is in my eyesight, I will play with pets and keep them occupied, and make sure they don't feel too overwhelmed and keep them calm.

“Amy was a wonderful sitter for our animals. We are so thankful for her help. She was very good at communicating with us while we were away so we knew everything was well at home.”

About: Friend to all animals.✨ I have walked and dog-sat two pitbulls (ages: 2 and six months) on a weekly basis since the fall of 2022. My additional clients include mutts, a pug, a belgian shepherd, dobermans, and more, ages ranging 10 weeks - five years. I have stuck with some clients for over a year until their schedules changed or they moved, and with some dogs on a temporary basis. I am intent on working with the owners to adapt to their training methods for their fur-babies and enforcing those gently. Walks are enjoyable for both the dogs and me: I keep it lax and adapt to what they want in that moment. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and fur-babies alike since I was 15, when I would dog-sit and walk for family friends. I’ve had varying dog sitting and cat sitting gigs (both day visits and overnights) since then, some of which included overnight stays. Pet care is great supplemental time with pets and additional income while I full work remotely. I am flexible to work with clients on their schedules/their adorable pets schedules. I am also available some nights and weekends. My top priority besides providing love, fun and stimulation to your pets is their safety: both for their sake and my own. Making sure that we discuss your yard set up especially your fencing, and indoor set up (do you have animal gates/baby gates set up, areas they’re not permitted in), etc. Communication is key and I would love to know what works for your animal: what boundaries are set and what they’re comfortable with.

About: Hi, I'm Marceline! Growing up with a wildlife rehabilitator for a parent, I was surrounded by animals from day one. From bottle-feeding baby raccoons to gently caring for injured birds, I learned early on the patience, empathy, and responsibility that animals deserve. That lifelong passion turned into a career of caring: I spent 4 years at a cat shelter, helping to socialize, medicate and find loving homes for many cats. Beyond that, I've volunteered extensively at Farm sanctuaries and animal shelters, gaining hands-on experience with dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, and more! Whether your pet is playful and energetic or shy and sensitive, I'm dedicated to providing calm, attentive, loving care that meets their unique needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your animal family. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own - with respect, reliability and plenty of love. Let's connect - I'd love to meet you and your pets! Because I have an open schedule, I'm able to dedicate focused time throughout the day for walks, feedings, play, medication and whatever unique care each pet needs. I plan my day around their routines, not the other way around - whether that means early morning visits, midday potty breaks, evening cuddle time, or sleepovers. I'm used to structuring my day with animals in mind, especially my own cats and hermit crabs. Being attentive to animals' behaviors and needs is second nature to me, and I always make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and consistency throughout the day. When you leave your pet in my care, you're not just hiring someone to feed or walk them - you're trusting me with a member of your family. I take that responsibility seriously. Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment is at the heart of everything I do. I closely follow your pet's routines, dietary needs, and any medical requirements to make sure they stay happy and healthy. Im experienced in handling a wide range or animals - including those with special needs, and I always keep a close eye on behaviot and well-being When I visit your home for your pet, I strive to create a low-stress environment where they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. From cozy resting spots to familiar routines and gentle handling, I make sure your pet feels right at home with me.

About: I’m a retired healthcare worker, mom, Nana to three grandchildren and 4 furry grandbabies. I’ve had many of my own fur babies overs the years but none currently. I’ve been house/pet sitting for the past two years through Trusted Housesitters and have cared for dogs, cats, chickens and even Bearded dragons from the northeast to the west coast and loved all of them! The sits were anywhere from two days to three weeks. I am comfortable with young pets to seniors and have no problem administering medication if needed. I am active and in good health and enjoy playtime and walks, as well as chillin inside on a cold rainy day. I am retired so I have plenty of time on my hands. So whether you need an hour, a day or a few weeks I’m available. I will care for your pets in your home and will happily do things the way you would when home. Exercise, playtime, walks, snuggles, and sleeping with me if that’s what they’re used to. What makes them makes me happy.

About: I’ve been raised in a house with many types of animals including dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, birds and fish! I have worked at and volunteered at multiple wildlife rehabilitation centers and zoos, and have been taking care of family and friends’ household pets for many years. I’m focusing on school and working in my passion throughout this summer. I’ll be free most weekdays and weekends unless stated otherwise on my calendar. I am experienced in giving medication to animals and treating superficial wounds. I also have experience in dog training, crating, and cat & dog CPR.

“Aidan is amazing! She walked my 2 (big) dogs while we were at a wedding! She was so flexible and easy to work with. If we’re in the area again, definitely will book her again!”

About: I Work nights! I am off Thursday and Friday nights. I've rasied my 80lb. Female dog from when she was 4 weeks old to about 6 years. I'm very active and love to take my dog out for runs. Very disciplined and have taught my big girl to behave politely in NYC. I've taken care of huskies and smaller dogs like chihuahuas and poodles for neighbors as well! I work overnights and just moved to an Tamnersville. I would love to walk or just spend time with a dog. My dog is home on staten island with family and I miss spending time with dogs so much! Hygiene and cleanliness at home are priority. A lot of canine care is knowing what each dogs' wants and needs are. Each dog will communicate to you what they want and need. Communication with the owner is key along with ensuring the dog is well fed and stimulated!
