About: Rosie’s path to dog training began with a curiosity about animals that started early. As a teenager, she went to vet camp and attended a spay & neuter program which exposed her to animal health and hands-on veterinary care. Those early experiences sparked an interest not just in caring for animals, but in understanding how health, environment, and behavior intersect. That curiosity eventually led her into professional animal care and welfare. She spent several years working hands-on with dogs before joining Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC), where she gained experience with animals across a wide range of temperaments, histories, and behavioral needs. Working in a high-volume shelter environment - particularly with anxious and behaviorally complex dogs.. Over time, behavior and training became the natural focus of her work. Rosie has continued to deepen her knowledge of relationship-based and balanced training, behavior modification, play-based training, socialization and neutrality, and breed-specific care. Training her own service dog has been one of her most formative experiences, giving her an up-close understanding of how relationship, consistency, technique, and clear communication come together to create reliable behavior in the real world. Rosie’s curiosity extends beyond traditional dog training. She is deeply interested in the foundations of whole-animal wellbeing including nutrition, husbandry, enrichment, physical health, genetics, and environment, and how each can influence behavior. Her experiences with both dogs and cats have reinforced her belief that behavior rarely exists in isolation. Today, Rosie brings that perspective to her work with dogs and their people. Rather than focusing solely on commands or correcting unwanted behaviors, she wants to understand the individual animal - their temperament, instincts, history, environment, needs, and relationship with their person - and use that understanding to create training that is thoughtful, practical, and built for everyday life. Rosie is currently engaging in ongoing clinics and applied training focused on canine behavior, training foundations, behavior modification, enrichment, and handler communication. I do pet care full time as I train dogs and cats! I have a full house of animals with two cats, two dogs and a reptile! We enjoy an active life with walks, play and adventure although have a nice balance with rest too:) Safety is my #1 priority. I firmly believe that a trained animal is a happy animal! Every animal that comes into my care has clear expectations so everyone can thrive to the best of their ability. If at daycare, I have the ability to crate and separate dogs and I have a clean, fenced in backyard that has a doggy pool for those warm summer days! For check ins and walks, i'm all about what is most comfortable for the pet. If your cat just needs someone to clean their litter box, thats what I'm there for! Wether its a potty break or full adventure, I'm here for it!
“I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention my dog Sage receives from Asher! He comes three times a week, always on time, and is so reliable. It’s clear that he truly cares about Sage’s well-being, paying close attention to her needs, whether it’s her energy level or favorite spots for a walk. I love seeing the adorable selfies they take together—Sage is always so happy and clearly enjoying her time out. Asher is not just responsible and professional, but also super sweet and kind. I feel so lucky to have found someone who genuinely connects with my dog and treats her like family. Highly recommend!”

“Cailey was very thorough with her notes and photos which is very comforting to me as the dog owner. She seems to be very gentle and understanding with my pup who can be hesitant and a little nervous. I would recommend Cailey and will book again!”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and have looked after friends' and neighbors' pets for years, from high-energy puppies to slower seniors. I'm patient, I pay attention to each dog's quirks, and I'll always send you a quick update and photos after every walk so you know how it went. I work part-time, so my schedule is pretty predictable. I'm fully free Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays, and I can do morning walks before noon on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. I'm happy to set up a regular weekly routine with you. I mostly care for pets in their own home, so they stay comfortable and on their usual routine. I always double-check leashes, harnesses and locked doors, keep dogs away from street food and other dogs unless you say it's okay, and follow your instructions on feeding and meds. Your keys and home are treated with respect.
“Celine was incredibly communicative and prompt — she provided great updates about Joe and his walks. Easy to keep in touch with. Would definitely recommend her and consider using her services in the future.”

About: I've grown up around animals--dogs, cats, birds, snakes, horses even. Not only do I love all animals, but I take great pride in properly caring for my own and others. I have experience petsitting both small and large dogs, and cats of all ages. I can administer medication, if necessary, and am comfortable caring for pets with special medical needs. I’m able to prepare fresh meals for your pet if this is the diet they are on. I'm physically able to be active with your pet and provide the most stimulating day for your pup or kitty. My experience caring for my own and petsitting for others will provide you with a great service of your own!! I currently work remotely and have a very flexible work schedule. This allows me to set aside time to travel to any pet sitting jobs, take your pups on walks, and spend time feeding and playing throughout the day. I’m a very attentive, compassionate, and patient pet owner and sitter. I make time to play with any pet and tend to their needs. I’m conscious of items, foods, plants, situations etc., that may be harmful to pets. My pets are my family and I love them as such. I’ll treat your pets with the same care!
“Alexander is great! There was an open line communication before and during walks, and he took extra care with my slightly special needs dog. Will book again!”

About: I recently lost my soul dog of 13 years, and have decided to care for other dogs. I know how it is when you have to leave your fur babies and you need to rely on someone to care for them, I’m here to put your mind at ease. I can assure that your dogs will be loved by me, I will make sure to keep your dogs safe, make the dogs happy and keep them active and having fun while being with me. I’m currently working part time on the weekends so I have plenty of time during the week to care for your babies. My daily routine is very flexible, I can often accommodate my workouts or errand days around the needs of your pet. I live in a one bedroom apartment, but it’s just me so your baby has plenty of space to play. There is nothing in the apartment that can be hazardous for dogs such as small objects, loose wires, etc. I am very cautious when entering and leaving my home and I have cameras around the unit so I can always have an eye on them and make sure they are good.
About: Hullo! I'm a sociologist & musician living in Ridgewood, Queens, and very importantly, I'm a parent to Mila, my rat terrier mix pup. We adopted her as a rescue in 2021, and she's for sure the love of my life!! I also have many years of previous experience caring for my friends' & family's dogs and cats. I've lived with puppies and seniors alike, and am very familiar with their respective special needs. I've sat for a variety of dog breeds, including Chihuahuas, spaniels and mastiffs. I will make sure your fur babies feel safe, loved, and that they have fun! Our pets are family, and I will treat them with the utmost care and respect. I'm currently working part-time so I have a lot of flexibility and can work around your schedule, and also have availability on weekends. I would take out your fur baby for long walks and engage in lots of play sessions - I will follow their lead and be attuned to their every need :)
About: Hello! I’m Tim! I’ve lived with over 10 dogs and cats in my life time and would love to spend time with yours too! I have experience caring for older, sick animals who need extra love and patience as well as brand new ones who need time to play and a little extra help learning to potty outside! I have raised some of my own pets and helped many roommates care for theirs! I work from home full time so I am available to care for your pets any day of the week and am happy to do so during work hours so they don’t need to sit at home alone. Weekends I tend to spend time in my neighborhood so I’d be available to walk your pet or even give them a place to stay if you’re out of town, but I may be out of the house a bit more often. I am happy to pop into your house to walk your pet or feed them. I am even happy to stay for a little and play with them or take care of them however you need! When you bring them to my house, they will have access to my whole apartment and I will be here to play with them, feed them and take them out on walks as needed!
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand how important it is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m responsible, attentive, and patient, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m comfortable following specific feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions, and I’m happy to keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout the day. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can easily make pet care part of my daily routine. I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to dog walks, playtime, feeding, litter box care, and giving each pet the attention they need. I’m reliable about following each pet’s usual routine and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’ll also keep owners updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine in every visit. I carefully follow your instructions, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are supervised and cared for in a clean, calm environment. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ridgewood
Paula is absolutely wonderful! She is incredibly kind, caring, and reliable, and she takes such great care of both my dog and my cat. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals, and I always feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands with her. I really appreciate her care and attention, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter or dog walker!

Sharon is very responsible and attentive! She always communicates any schedule changes in advance and checks with me about walking arrangements when it rains. She’s also very responsive and genuinely loves dogs, which really shows in how she cares for them. My pup absolutely loves her too! Highly recommend!

Where do I start. Coming on this app I was very nervous as I’m sure all of us are with our babies but Deshaun made the whole process easier. From taking his time to come meet Jack with me on our walk before committing, to even taking him on long walks and being so kind. I’m very happy with him and so glad and excited to keep working with him! Thank you so much.

I have had a great experience with Melissa! She was able to accommodate a last-minute request, accepting the job just one day before I needed my dog walked. My dog absolutely loved the pack walk since he is highly social and used to attending daycare. He came home happy, content, and nice and tired—making for a peaceful, relaxing evening. I truly appreciate her flexibility, excellent care, and willingness to help on short notice. I have already booked her for future walks😊 Highly recommend!
