About: I have been raising dogs with my family since middle school, starting with an Alaskan Malamute puppy that was only 30 days old when we first brought her home. I grew up alongside her and gradually took on full responsibility for her daily care. This experience helped me develop patience, attentiveness, a strong sense of responsibility, and a deep emotional bond with dogs. Now, after more than ten years of experience living with dogs, I treat every dog with the same care and affection as my own. Dogs tend to respond positively to me, and I genuinely enjoy building trust and companionship with them. Caring for dogs is not just something I do—it is something I am truly passionate about and committed to. At the moment, I primarily work remotely, and I spend most of my time with my wife. This allows me to have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I am able to provide pet care services at any time throughout the week, and I approach each task with full energy, attention, and genuine enthusiasm. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for every pet. During walks and outdoor activities, I carefully monitor the surrounding environment, making sure the area is safe and watching for any harmful objects or food that could pose a risk to the pet. I also pay close attention to interactions with unfamiliar dogs and other animals, ensuring that the experience remains positive and stress-free. I carefully observe each pet’s behavior, energy level, and overall condition, including monitoring their bathroom habits as an indicator of their health. I adjust exercise intensity based on the pet’s needs and make sure they cool down properly after more active play or walks. After high-energy activities, I provide water gradually and safely rather than allowing them to drink too quickly. I also provide detailed grooming care, including gentle brushing and checking for ticks or other concerns. If necessary, I will carefully remove ticks and make sure the pet remains comfortable. Beyond basic care, I enjoy spending time with pets through play, affection, and companionship. I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and love that I would give to my own pet.

“Absolutely amazing! Kenneth was on time and took care of my fur babies. My senior dog loved his drop ins for sure and the three walks a day. He made sure they had plenty of water and food. Cleaned the litter box too. Even played with Oreo the cat and his favorite string toy. Would definitely recommend to my friends and request him again if needed.”

About: I’ve trained three very skittish rescue doggies and purebred pups. I dog sit for friends and family often. I am extremely energetic/Athletic and if your doggie wants to go for a run, I am up for that for sure! Or if they just need some calming snuggle time, I’m your girl! I enjoy getting to know pet’s unique personalities and needs. I grew up around animals my whole life — dogs, house cats, barn cats, and even neighboring farm animals and wildlife. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Recently losing my longtime companions, Niko, a tiny chihuahua/corgie mix & rescue with a huge personality, and Copper, a golden with a goofball heart of gold, reminded me how deeply our pets become family. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet at home while working, traveling, or managing a busy schedule, and I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for them. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, patience, or extra attention, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I’d want for my own. I look forward to meeting new furry friends and helping give pet owners peace of mind. I called my doggies my kiddos and will care for yours as such! My days are free and can’t wait to fill them up with more joy, walks, training, runs and snuggles. Obedience, praise and love are my core. My pets are my world, I care for and treat others pets as my own. I will treat your home as mine as well! I’m responsible, reliable and trustworthy. Can’t wait to meet!

About: Hello! I’m Tierney. I’m new to Rover, but I am experienced in pet care. I have worked with furry friends of all sizes, ages, and needs (trust me, I’m a pro at sneakily administering meds with the help of peanut butter)! I’m also excited about ensuring that you feel connected to your pet while you’re away. I have been known to take super cute pictures of pets for text threads. Let’s work together! I am currently working freelance, so I have the freedom to build my own schedule. I have a lot of availability as a result. No matter the time of day, I can be there to care for your furry friend! When pet sitting, I successfully create a safe environment through open communication with my clients. I know prior to working with an animal the exact expectations of the owner.

About: I have had a dog in the house since I was young. Most recently helped train my family German Shepherd puppy from 10 weeks! I also have experience caring for my dog when she went through a major hip replacement surgery, which required much more intensive care over the course of a few months. Do not currently have any pets (my pup is back home), but have helped take care of both dogs and cats. I am staying in the Brown University area over the summer and will be conducting research as a Master's student. My schedule is very flexible as I mostly work on a laptop. However, there will be days I have to work around experiments, so feel free to inquire! I won't be able to host your pet (sadly), but I am more than willing to visit or walk as needed! I always starts with asking: 1. Any essential things about the pet I need to know (medication, allergies, etc.) 2. Any essential things about the house? (places to keep them out of, toys, beds, where they like to hang out) 3. Food, drink, and potty schedule + locations for each. 4. Anything else you want me to be aware of? (No shoes in the house, stay out of certain rooms, don't let mud get tracked around, etc.) 5. In case there's a mess, how should I clean up? (paper towels, pads, trash bags, etc.) I always want to respect both your house and your little friend so please give me as much detail as possible!

“Jayla did such an amazing job, sent tons of pictures which I loved, and perfectly followed my annoyingly specific instructions for 4 different cats that all have different requirements. She made me feel super comfortable with the whole experience. I would definitely recommend her, and plan to rebook in the future!”

“Jonathan was a lifesaver when prior a pet sitter canceled last minute, and in a way I’m happy it turned out that way! You can tell from the minute you meet him he genuinely cares for your animals like they are his own and makes every effort to show it. He even crocheted a blanket for our kitty! My husband and I never had to worry a day while we were on our vacation because we knew our cats were in great hands. We cannot begin to thank you enough!”

Kelly M.

“Would not hesitate to have Jules sit for our three cats again! She did a fantastic job and even picked up an extra day for us during the end of our trip! Great communication with photos and updates. Great service and attention to all the cats needs! Thank you! Pamela”

About: From an early age, I always had an empathic heart towards animals. I grew up in the Caribbean where a copious amount of stray animals roam & inhabit our island. Our problem as a community started with not prioritizing safeguard measures to control the population of our animals. And as a result, the animals suffer. Education and resources are big players to combat that, and as a young child growing up in that environment, the need to help and care for animals got instilled pretty quickly. So I grew up very sensitive to the plight of animals who needed help. Which is why I believe dog walking/dog sitting in NYC is so vital, traditionally as apartment pets living in NYC. Space and access to it is a commodity, and with the working class leaving home every day with these pets at home I can understand how important it is to get these pets outside and to exercise them and give them attention. Also during my time fostering multiple special need animals back when I was in college, & caring for sick animals opened up my eyes to the value of quality care and time. Many a time while I was fostering, I noticed the animal shelter running out space to house and support animals who needed help and shelter. Which was actually how I came to fostering. I couldn't necessarily adopt at the time, so instead, I temporarily offered up my space and attention to special need animals who needed support. And I loved every minute of it. I loved taking pictures and would be great updating owners on the status of their pets. I'll even take short video clips/recordings keeping owners aware on whats happening with their loved ones. Living in the city teaches me on a daily basis how important communication is so that being said I'm quick to respond to texts and emails, so if there's any questions or concerns I'm very easy to reach. Again all breeds are welcomed. I have experience with taking care of neo-natal newborn kittens to my dear former pet "Morpheus" Rottweiler who was 105lbs of sweetness. A pet to me is like family, and you can 100% expect that quality level of care. I have a flexible schedule can't wait to schedule a meet and greet so I can assuage any questions or concerns you'll have for me.

“Maya was amazing! She went above and beyond for my little one”

“I’m new to the city and this was my first time using Rover, and Olivia is the best! She took amazing care of my dog, Pickles—walking him, making sure he had fresh water, and giving him lots of love. Her communication is excellent and she’s incredibly reliable, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’m very thankful for Olivia and would highly recommend her!”

About: I've been caring for pets for over 15 years. My family had two dogs while I was growing up, and I was responsible for feeding them, taking them on walks, and bringing them to their grooming appointments. After moving abroad for school, I adopted two rescue cats from a local shelter and have cared for them ever since by myself. I stay on top of their annual wellness exams and vaccinations, introduce new foods to keep their meals interesting, bathe them when needed, spend lots of time playing with them, and even take them on walks occasionally. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm currently a graduate student, so my schedule depends on my work, but I'm usually available around lunchtime and in the evenings after 5–6 PM (or nights if necessary). My schedule is generally more flexible on weekends. Because of my lab work, I'm better suited for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting rather than full-time boarding. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I will carefully follow each owner's feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special care requests. I take time to learn each pet's personality and never force interactions if they're shy or nervous (I have a shy cat so I know how it works). I will also provide regular updates with photos and messages, so you'll always know your pet is happy and well cared for.
