About: What sets me apart is my commitment to providing reliable, attentive, and personalized care tailored to each dog’s needs. I prioritize consistency, safety, and clear communication, so pet parents feel fully confident while they’re away. I work three days a week at my primary job, which gives me ample flexibility to dedicate focused time to the pets I care for. On my days off, I’m available for walks and/or drop-ins. I offer both dog walking and drop-in visits in your home, designed to keep your pets happy, active, and comfortable in their own environment. I treat each pet like my own and follow your instructions carefully to maintain their routine and reduce stress while you’re away.

“James was absolutely fantastic with my dog. He walked him, fed him, made sure he felt comfortable, and kept me updated with pictures throughout the visit. Sherman is a large, high energy dog and James handled him with ease. It can be stressful being away from your dog, but James completely eased my mind. He was reliable, communicative, attentive, and clearly took the time to make my dog feel safe and comfortable. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. I highly recommend James to anyone looking for someone trustworthy. Thank you, James!”

About: Hi I'm Ally! I grew up surrounded by dogs and my love for them has only grown over the years! I currently have two at home, Luna, a 10-year-old rescue terrier mix, and Tobi, a 6-year-old Pembroke Welsh corgi. Altogether my extended family includes 6 dogs, 2 cats, and a few chickens. (You should see our house at Christmas!) I have lots of experience with both small and large dogs but I love all shapes and sizes. Playtime is a big deal at my house, but rest and relaxation are a must too. Cuddling is my absolute favorite thing! I love helping others, especially when they're dogs. I found Rover through my sister and sister-in-law, who have watched dogs themselves, so I've learned the ropes through their experiences. I'm currently working part-time and heading back to school soon. My schedule may shift once the semester starts, but I'll keep my calendar updated! As of right now my schedule is pretty open and I can provide care all weekdays, but weekends are a little tougher (but if really needed I can always try to move things around). My top priority is making sure you and your pets know they're in safe, loving hands. Bathroom breaks, meals, fresh water, and plenty of cuddles are always part of the routine. And if you're comfortable with it, my dog Tobi loves meeting new friends so we can always swing by for some playtime!

About: Hello! My name is Nicole and I enjoy living an active lifestyle and spending time outdoors. Currently I live with three energetic pups: a yellow Lab, a black Lab, and a Doberman I have been caring for dogs for most of my life. Growing up next to a breeder gave me ample opportunity to learn about and play with dogs ranging from puppy litters to full grown.I have always felt a special connection with animals and often find myself making new furry friends. I have years of experience with feeding, walking, bathing, and loving! I also have experience administering oral medication. Size, age, and sex are no issue; I welcome all. I spend most weeks home full-time so my schedule is open and flexible to serve both you and your pup! Thanks for reading!

About: I’ve been around dogs for basically my whole life and I’ve always loved animals. I’ve been taking care of my own pets- walking, feeding, bathing, training, etc- for as long as I can remember. More recently I’ve taken care of friends pets while their owners are away- including dogs, cats, and a bunny. In these instances I was responsible for checking in on the pets a few times a day to feed them, let them outside, refill water, and give them lots of love and attention. I have also volunteered to dog walk at a few local shelters. I’m currently home from college for the summer and I have a lot of free time. I have a few short trips that are blocked out on my calendar and should be available otherwise. When walking dogs I try to always be aware of my surroundings and be on the lookout for cars, other dogs, or wild animals. My own dog can be a bit sneaky and is a big chewer so I know how important it is to be vigilant when watching dogs. I’ve also had a reactive dog in the past so I’m confident in my abilities to distract and remove a dog from a hostile situation. I’m always interested in learning more about proper pet care and have spent time researching pet safe foods and activities for my own pets. My goal is always to give a pet the best care possible.

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats for years. (10+) Over the years of watching animals, for many especially the ones I see on a regular basis, I have built a strong connection with them. They are literally so special and I form strong bonds with them, as well as all pets and animals. I do my best to feed even the deer, squirrel, birds, wild turkey etc that come into my yard every day. At this point some of them even look into my windows asking, "so are ya gonna feed me or what??" lol :) There is something so special about ALL animals and that is why I truly love doing what I do, I am pretty open just require a days' notice. I am in the Westhampton area and prefer to travel within a 10-mile radius. If needed, I will consider traveling further, please contact me should you live further out, and I will do my best to accommodate you. In the case of being located outside of the 10-mile perimeter I may charge for a meet and greet. PLEASE NOTE** OVERNIGHT STAYS- PRICE INCLUDES UP TO 8 HOURS. In the past I watched animals out of my home however, at this time, I am available to check in with your pet in the comfort of their own home, feed them, go for 30 min walks, play in the yard or just hang out for companionship. Whatever they like most I can absolutely accommodate.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my two-year background as a dog training assistant, where I not only helped dogs learn new skills but also provided attentive care. I bring a friendly and hardworking approach, backed by years of experience in customer service. Back at my parents home, I use to share my space with three dogs and four cats, showcasing my deep commitment and love for animals. Your pets are not just in good hands; they're in caring and experienced hands that understand their unique needs, whether it's training puppies, providing senior care, or simply offering a friendly and loving environment. I'm available for pet care from mornings to afternoons during the week. On weekends, I work part-time at my brother's restaurant. I am also very flexible. For pet care, I offer services both in my home and at my client's place. My building provides a convenient pet care center, and animals are warmly welcomed in my apartment. Currently, my roommates have pets, creating a pet-friendly environment. Moreover, the area is close to various dog parks, providing ample opportunities for outdoor activities and playtime.

About: I’ve had dogs since i was five years old, I’ve always been an animal lover. I had three dogs growing up and have now just got my own after moving out on my own. I love being around dogs and helping create the happiest life for them. I know a big part of that is getting them out of the house for them to experience a happy adventurous life and not to be cooped up. I want to help create that life for as many animals/ dogs as I can when owners schedules can become to busy to always do that themselves. I work half remote and half in the office. I’m aware everyone has different schedules and would love to help whenever I can whether that be after or before work or on my lunch breaks. I am very patient and caring towards all dogs. I understand every dogs personality is different and can accommodate their needs based on whatever instructions or care they require.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
