About: I current have a 18+ year old Maltese Dog that is my life. He has Dementia, arthritis, and blindness and I’ve been attentive and care for him my entire childhood to now. The youngest dog I’ve worked with is a 2/3 year old Frenchie Bulldog and Golden Doodle and a 4 year old Yorkie I’m currently working Part Time at Timberland, so I plenty of time and opportunities to connect and meet everyone. I can get my work schedule ahead of times and can manage pet care and my job. I live in a three bed room apartment with space for pets to relax and settle but I live in a relatively quiet neighborhood with Minimum to no dog interaction if your pet isn’t friendly and about a 5/10 min walk away to a park for any pets fun time and walks
“Joshua came to walk my pups on a rainy day. This is the most difficult time to walk them as they hate rain and are shy around new people. He did great! He took them both out and checked in with me to keep me up to speed and if he had any questions. I have trouble taking them out in rainy days so 10/10 will definitely book again!”
“Venissala and my dog Idgie are off to a great start and so are we! My schedule changes weekly and so does Venissala's. We are able to work out bookings accordingly. She is a kind person and attentive to details. On her first walks with Idgie, she was caring and a great communicator! I look forward to our continued work together for Idgie.”
“We’ve been working with Meg for a couple of weeks now, and she’s been incredible. Our Aspen can be anxious and doesn’t always walk very well, but Meg has been great and he’s warmed up to her so quickly! Meg has also been so understanding with our constantly shifting work schedules, and we really appreciate her flexibility and responsiveness. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Emmilee was amazing! My pup Kayleigh has the best time with her and I believe Emmilee will give your pup so much joy! I’ll definitely book with Emmilee from now on. I’m a pretty protective dog mom and I felt at ease immediately when I saw how much my dog loved Emmilee! She sends great updates! I would give 10 stars if that was an option! Thank you Emmilee!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’ve helped friends and family with walking, feeding, and making sure their pets feel safe and comfortable. I am patient, responsible, and always pay attention to each dog’s behavior and needs. I enjoy staying active, so I make sure every dog gets enough exercise, playtime, and attention. Your dog’s safety and happiness are always my priority. Wednesday: 4:00 PM – 10:00 PM Friday: 5:00 AM – 1:00 PM Saturday: 5:00 AM – 1:00 PM Sunday: 5:00 AM – 1:00 PM I prioritize safety and trust by following each pet’s routine and keeping a secure environment at all times. I stay attentive during walks, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I also provide updates so owners feel confident while they’re away.
“Jules watched my dog Uma for 2 weeks while I was away, walking her 2x a day without a hiccup. I really appreciate the photos and videos!! Excellent dog walker, trustworthy, and all-around awesome person :)”
“Briana has been amazing! Very puntual, polite and great communication skills. My 2 pups adore her. She has also been flexible to help me when i am working late and my pups need afternoon walks. I will continue booking with her.”
“adeline was incredible! she responded with such short notice and really helped me out when i needed it. she was attentive, communicative, and patient. i absolutely recommend her and felt so at ease knowing she was taking care of my lola!!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love and passion for animals. I love building a personal connection with each furry friend, understanding their unique personalities and boundaries. I provide companionship and reassurance to keep your pets happy and health. I currently work full time but that doesn’t stop me from pet sitting! i am available on the weekends or weekdays after work at night. I have two cats at home that i’ve raised since they were kittens. I get tons of compliments by people who come over on how gentle and friendly they are. I absolutely spoil them but they’re my babies so it’s worth it.
“Devora is the best. We are so happy that she was able to take care of Cherry for us. Her Rover cards are detailed and thoughtfully written. We hope she is available when we need her next. She is great!”
“Our dogs, Henny and Loki, love it when Asher comes over to dogsit them! He is so caring and attentive and they love all the pets he gives them. Asher is very communicative and we know that they are always in good hands with him.”
“Regina is so sweet, she really gives both my animals the attention they deserve! She's very consistent and trustworthy, can't say enough good things about her.”
“Thank you, Cailey! Sammy appreciates your patience as he takes a bit to warm up to someone but you seem to have a calm temperament and opened up quickly. We’ll definitely be rebooking.”
“Erik has been great with my highly energetic large floppy puppy Zoey. He arrives on time and in a great mood. He is super patient with my crazy big fur-ball and she comes back from their walks happy. I will continue to book with Erik.”
“Linnea is absolutely amazing!! She was so loving and patient with my 9 year old chihuahua who gets a bit grumpy when going out for walks in subzero temperatures (it just so happened that the week we planned our trip for was when “historic storm fern” descended upon the city lol). Needless to say we were so relieved to have booked with Linnea— having her support and regular updates gave us the peace of mind that actually allowed us to enjoy our trip, and knowing our pup was well taken care of was invaluable. Highly recommend Linnea for anyone who wants reliable, kind and empathetic care their pet!”
Ridgewood dog parents share their Rover experiences
We love Sophia! I could not more highly recommend Sophia to walk/take care of your pet! Sophia does 5 days a week, sometimes twice daily, walks/meals/visits with my dog Darla (small, older chihuahua, Financial District). #1, Sophia is always on time for scheduled visits; so important any dog who relishes (and also needs) routine! #2, Sophia is very conscientious with a tiny dog in a harsh metropolis and prioritizes Darla's comfort (sweaters if cold) and her bodily safety (likes to potty in gutters) on walks. I have 100% comfort on long work days knowing Darla is in such caring and thoughtful hands. #3, I know Darla is having great days with Sophia because when I come home from work, she is always happily sleeping soundly, not a care in the world. Thank you Sophia!
David is punctual, flexible, adaptable and follows directions. David truly is a blessing to have take our girl Emmy on adventures. We appreciate him taking on such a complex role on such short notice when we were out of luck. Grateful to have stumbled upon his profile and happy to that our dog has a new friend to care for her.
We have been so lucky to have Franceska help us take care of our dog Teddy. He is VERY particular about which people he trusts and he loved her the moment he met her! Franceska is kind, caring, and always so loving to our boy. We were anxious about having someone come to our home to get him while we were out but Franceska’s responsiveness and ability to connect with Teddy put us at ease.
Michelle has been great with Sushi for both walks and house sitting. She’s reliable, easy to communicate with, and clearly good with dogs — Sushi warmed up to her quickly. I always come back to a happy pup and things in good shape. She also sends updates, which I appreciate. Overall, a really solid and trustworthy sitter. Would definitely book again.
Devora is the absolute best. She always keeps us updated about what happened during Cherry's walk. I know our girl is always well taken care of whenever we book her. We appreciate your time, patience, and dedication so much. I truly wouldn't book with anyone else!
Meghan has been a great dog walker for my two chihuahuas. She understands the way their little reactive brains work which I really appreciate since they are not always the easiest to walk. One of my dogs also gets nervous when unknown people are in her space and by the second visit she was already excited to see Meghan. Meghan is also very responsive to texts and any requests I have.
Faith is amazing! If I ever need anyone to walk Winnie, she’ll be the first person I ask. She took such good care of Winnie, followed all instructions perfectly and made me feel comfortable leaving my baby at home. Made sure to take Winnie on long walks and play with her a ton! Definitely worth every single penny!!!
