Dog Sitting River Edge

About: I’ve been a dog owner for years and have cared for pups at every stage of life—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who needed extra patience, gentleness, and consistency. I’ve raised one dog through his puppy years and lovingly supported two others through their golden years, so I’m comfortable with training basics, routines, mobility changes, medications, and slower-paced walks when needed. Over the years, friends have trusted me with their dogs while they travel, and now that I have more space in my home—and a large, fully fenced yard—I’m excited to do this regularly. My dog, Ochosi, and I love getting outside for long walks and hikes, and I’m happy to tailor activity levels to each dog’s age, energy, and needs—whether that means an adventurous trail day or a cozy afternoon of cuddles. As a bonus, my roommate is also a longtime dog lover and former dog owner, so your pup will get extra attention and affection beyond just me and Ochosi. Between our household, your dog will be surrounded by care, play, and consistency while you’re away. As an empowerment coach, I work mostly from home, which allows me to be present with the dogs I care for throughout the day. I do have occasional workshops, classes, and client visits that take me out of the house part-time, but I always plan my schedule carefully so pups get plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship. Whether caring for your dog in my home or yours, I focus on keeping routines consistent, energy balanced, and tails wagging. I tailor walks, playtime, and downtime to each pup’s age and personality—from adventurous hikes to gentle strolls and cozy evenings. With a big fenced yard for safe outdoor play, plenty of affection from me, Ochosi, and my dog-loving roommate, and regular photo updates for you, your dog will feel secure, happy, and right at home.

About: I've taken care of pets for a long time, a long 15 years, and I'm dedicated to helping your baby out, because our pets are our families. I work part time, and have a larger apartment with tons of yard and plenty of enrichment time! I will be home majority of the day as well! I have a large fence for my own dogs and have spare bowls and dog/cat food if that is necessary. I also have tools for brushing and cleaning!!

About: English/Japanese bilingual I love dogs. Mine lived to 19 and I miss her so much. I would love to help you care for yours! When I'm with your dog, I'm fully present, calm and patient. I'm attentive to what they need and notice the little things: when they seem anxious, when they need a slower pace, when they just want to sit close to someone or need their space. I won't just look after your dog — I will try my best to tune into what they're feeling and respond to it. I'm new to Rover and have cared for my own dogs rather than many, but I am communicative, responsive, and open to feedback. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns! I am currently between jobs and have a pretty flexible schedule, but prefer to work weekdays - as long as I know ahead of time, I can work around yours. I will be respectful of your space, attentive to your pet's needs, and mindful of any notes you share with me ahead of time.

About: Open, adaptable daytime schedule that allows for prompt visits without rushing through routine care. Prompt, detailed updates after every walk or drop in, so you know exactly how your pet is doing while you're away. As a student with an extremely flexible and light class schedule, pet care is my primary focus. I’m available throughout most of the day for midday dog walks, routine drop in visits, and last minute requests. Because I am not tied to a traditional 9-to-5 job, I can match your dog or cat’s exact schedule for feeding, exercise, and playtime without rushing I provide attentive, reliable care right in your pet's safe environment. For drop in visits, I handle all feeding, fresh water, litter box or yard cleanup, and plenty of undivided attention. For dog walking, I tailor the pace and route to your dog's energy level, making sure they get safe exercise and mental stimulation. I always double check locked doors, secure leashes, and send detailed photo updates before I leave so you have complete peace of mind.

“Andrea is amazing. My cat Penny is super sweet but vibe with cats is everything. Penny loved her and she was a joy to work with. Always on top of giving meds and doing the hour long stay I requested. Leaving Penny in Andrea's care is the best trip decision I made.”

“Christine was fantastic taking care of Minino while we were away! She came by daily to feed him and always sent us pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and made sure he was happy and well looked after. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a reliable, attentive cat sitter.”

“Pete did an amazing job with all 3 of my dogs, one of them is special needs as well and he was able to walk and feed them and follow their care instructions with great communication updates. I would highly recommend Pete to anyone in need of a trusted walker/sitter and look forward to relying on him more and more in the future.”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life. First cats and then dogs. I grew up with 3 small dogs from when I was 6 until they passed away. At the end they were old ladies- one was diabetic and blind and the other had an array of health issues. Now my partner and I have two puppies, both around 30 lbs expected to be around 50. Animals make life better. I am currently working part time and have lots of time at home with the pups! i love animals more than anything, so they are always the priority in my days. We go to the dog park, go on lots of walks and even go swimming on the weekends! I have a very flexible schedule. I am well versed in crate and pad training. We have been training our puppies on how to walk on a leash as well as different tricks (stay being the most important).

“Andrew takes great care of our 2 cats. He always replies quickly, was very thoughtful during our meet and when taking care of our cats. We have been away with peace of mind thanks to him”
