Chelsea is great working with our timid rescue dog giving him time to warm up and enjoy his walks. She is great about giving feedback as to how he’s been doing and quick to respond to any requests or changes in our schedule. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for an amazing dog walker and friend for your pet.

Alexa has been great with our shy lab mix. She has taken him for weekly walks for almost a year. Her patience and calm with him have helped him be more comfortable and he is always happier when we get home after his walk.

About: If you're looking for a dog-lover and loyal caretaker, I'm here for you and your pet! I'm happy to provide a loving space for your pet while you travel, or walks when needed. I work from home mostly--I am in the office two days a week (every Tuesday and Wednesday.) All other days I am flexible with my schedule. Pets are welcome on my furniture--while they are here, they are free to make themselves comfortable! Playtime, walks and car rides (if they like them) are encouraged.

Melissa was great with my dog, Blaze! She not only provided Blaze with much needed exercise on her daily walks, but she almost always stuck around to give a little tender love and care to our pooch. She also brought in our mail, which was an unexpected perk. I highly recommend Melissa. She is a reliable and loving caretaker of dogs.

About: I've had dogs in my family for as long as I can remember. My family's golden retriever, Molly, is the center of my attention when I'm at home in NJ. I signed up to be a pet sitter on Rover because I miss always having dogs around for me to take care of, and it makes me very happy to do so. I recently graduated from BU with a master's in neurobiology, and I'm looking for ways to earn money on weekdays to full my time as I'm searching for a full-time job. On Saturdays and Sundays, I work at Brothers & Sisters Cafe in Brookline. I am available any time during regular weekdays. Simple, lots of love and attention! I will make sure your dog is properly is fed, walked, and happy. I am also happy to provide cleaning services.

About: Hi! I love dogs since I was 6 years old. I specialize in taking care of small dogs up to 25 pounds. I currently have 2 pups - 3 year old Yorkie named Cosita & 3 year old pug named Madrid. Before them, I've taken care of my pugs, Miami & Aliza (both 16 years old when they passed away in December 2020 & February 2021), along with pets of my neighbors, friends, and family friends. I know almost every dog breed by heart. My favorite dog breeds are Pugs and Yorkshire Terriers. I am available during the work week to take care of your fur baby, as I work from home part-time. This means that I am able to provide your pet with plenty of attention and exercise, even on weekdays. I am also able to adjust my schedule to accommodate your pet's needs, such as if they need to be fed or let outside at specific times. I am committed to providing your pet with the best possible care, and I will do everything I can to make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you are away. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs - my Yorkshire Terrier and my Pug - to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed (only if you instruct so)... I am also experienced in dog walking and drop-in visits. I make sure that your fur baby has water, food, and is able to do their business outside. ****I only accept dogs that weigh no more than 25 pounds**** Please feel free to reach out to book me and ask me any questions and/or comments! :)

About: My son Pedro and I are dog lovers! I grew up with dogs, and Pedro was raised alongside Lukee, our beautiful yellow lab. They shared so many special moments together. We believe nothing makes a home happier than having a dog around. We promise to provide your pup with all the love and care they deserve. If your furry friend enjoys walks, cuddles, and being petted, we would be thrilled to host them! We provide House Sitting and Drop-In Visits designed to keep your pet comfortable, happy, and cared for in their own home. 🐶 House Sitting: We stay overnight at your pet’s home, maintaining their usual routine and providing companionship throughout the day and night. Your dog will enjoy regular walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of affection. We can also handle light household tasks, such as collecting mail or watering plants, to ensure your home stays looked after. 🐕 Drop-In Visits (30 minutes): Perfect for busy days or short getaways! We’ll visit your home to feed, walk, and spend quality time with your pet. Each visit includes affection, play, and attention to your pet’s specific needs. Depending on the day and schedule, care may be provided by either Pedro, me, or both of us together, so your pet always has attentive companionship. We can’t wait to welcome your buddy into our family! Pet care is a natural part of our daily life. With our flexible schedules, either Pedro or I, or both of us, can care for your pet, depending on your needs and our availability. We’re happy to help during weekdays or weekends, whether it’s for daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. We coordinate closely to make sure your furry friend always receives reliable, loving attention—just as they would from you. Caring for dogs is something we genuinely enjoy, and it’s a joyful part of our routine. Pedro and I provide comprehensive pet care in your home, including daily feeding, walks, playtime, light grooming, and medication if needed. Depending on your needs and our schedules, care may be provided by either one of us or both together. We focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for. We also send regular updates, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and well looked after while you’re away.

About: I am current graduate student at Ramapo college looking for a new way to spend time with dogs (since I can’t get one of my own just yet)! I just ended my time volunteering at the Humane Society of Tampa Bay as a short term volunteer with completing my undergraduate degree. In the past I have worked at a dog daycare taking care of 15-20 dogs at a time. I pet sit for friends and family all the time but I am looking to meet new furry friends. I’m currently working part-time and attending school full-time on two nights a week. During the week, I have some nights free, and before classes, I have mornings and afternoons free! I will not offer in-home services as I have a family pet that does not get along well with other dogs, but does great with humans.

Yeeun is an amazing dog walker and caring human being. My puppies adore her and warmed up to her since the first minute they met her. Yeeun always goes the extra mile for puppies, takes cares of them like they were hers, and keeps me updated at all times. I 100% recommend Yeeun and trust her with my fur babies.
