“Jenn walked my dog a couple of times while I was out of town. She showed up when requested and actually made my lazy dog walk with her. She did a great job and I look forward to having her walk my dog again.”
“I had an excellent experience with Amber meeting my dog for the first time. I loved receiving all of the thoughtful updates throughout out our booking - it was such a relief knowing that my dog was being looked after with such care. Amber is patient and attentive - she really went above and beyond with being sensitive of my dogs needs, especially when it comes to meeting new people. I'm looking forward to booking Amber again in the future.”
“I had a family emergency out of state for 5 days and Rae stayed at my place took such great care of my baby boy. She even cared for my bearded dragons. She is truly a blessing in our lives and we cherish her deeply. We love you Rae. I had no worries while away and was able to focus on family. I was sent tons of pictures and videos to keep my mind at ease.”
“Great communication and able to accommodate a last-minute request! Took pictures, mapped out my dog's walk, and as a bonus - hung with my cat before wrapping up. Definitely recommend!”
“We were worried because Rex tends to be aggressive towards strangers, Shar was very punctual and always kept us informed of Rex's behavior. Rex was happy with her, We would contact her again. Thank you for taking care our baby.”
About: I am an art teacher full-time during the school year. I am available for weekend house sitting starting on Fridays when I get off. I am open to doing house sitting during the week as well, as long as you are okay with your pet being alone while I am at work. Message me so we can work out details! I’ve had my own cats for 8 years. However, I am a huge dog lover too! I have lived with many dogs through roommates and developed special bonds with many of them. I would be entrusted to care for them if a roommate was away. I love sending pics of your fur babies to you while I take care of them! I am a teacher. So, summertime is extremely flexible, and, sometimes, wide open! I can make a lot work in the summer to fit your pet’s needs. Since I have 2 cats, I am looking to mostly take care of your pets in your home. I am all about comfort for my own pets, and make that the priority for your pets in your home!

I am qualified to provide your pet with some medical care, monitor their health, give medications, feed, clean, scoop litter boxes, take them on walks, play and give them lots of love.

I will care for them per you or your veterinarian's instruction.
“Macy has been a GREAT dog walker for me this week! She consistently walks a mile+ in the 30 minute bookings and gives my girl so much love! I will definitely be reaching back out to her with my future dog walking needs.”
“Jenna does such an incredible job with my pup butts. I am so grateful for Jenna’s patience when I made a mistake to the schedule. 15/10 would recommend as my pups love her and she always does a phenomenal job communicating with me.”
About: Loving & Experienced Pet Sitter – Specialist in Large Breeds & Seniors I have a lifelong love for animals and years of experience as a dedicated pet parent. After losing my 12-year-old Mastiff/Lab mix, Honey Bear, and my 19-year-old tabby, Eli, I’ve realized I’m not quite ready for a new pet of my own—but I have so much love left to give! I am offering my services to help others who need a reliable, attentive, and deeply caring sitter. Whether it’s long walks (one of my favorite activities!) or providing gentle care for senior pets, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am very comfortable and experienced handling larger breeds and understand the specific needs of pets at all stages of life. If you’re looking for someone who will truly cherish your furry family members, I’d love to meet you. Please reach out to chat or schedule a visit!

About: Hi, my name is Margaret and I would love to take care of your furry friend! I grew up with dogs and cats of all different sizes. I have years of experience with a variety of dogs and their unique personalities. I am a teacher, so my schedule allows me to give a lot of attention to your dog, especially on the weekends and during the summer break. My husband and I own a house in Murray Hill. Our house has a fenced in backyard. There is also a park just a block from our house that is perfect for running around and playing fetch. We have a labradoodle, Olive, who loves playing with other doggos. We also have an indoor/outdoor cat, Lola, that tolerates being around dogs, as most cats do. I am an elementary school teacher so my schedule is fairly flexible during the school year. Evenings, weekends, holidays, and summers offer me plenty of time to check in and be with your furry friends! I have a playful labradoodle that will keep your pup busy and entertained as well as a dog door to a fenced in backyard that keeps them safe and allows for all the potty breaks. The dog door can be closed off if needed.
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable administering medications, including injections for diabetes, and pride myself on providing dependable, attentive, and genuinely loving care tailored to each dog’s unique needs and routine. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable and consistent pet care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins anytime between 9am and 7pm daily, making it easy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, litter box cleaning, and plenty of attention for your pets. This is especially perfect for pet owners who work during the day and want peace of mind knowing their pet is getting care, companionship, and attention while they’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, litter box cleaning, and any specific preferences or routines their pet is used to. I understand every animal has different needs and personalities, so I’m happy to accommodate special requests to help them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owner is away. I also make sure to provide plenty of attention, affection, updates, and dependable care so pet owners can have peace of mind.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 8 years old, starting off with neighbors and then working in more advanced pet sitting and boarding. I have experience full-time raising a K9s for Warriors pup for over a year that graduated and paired with a local veteran. I also have experience with special needs dogs, their care routines, and medication distribution. I am an active person so I enjoy taking pups on long walks and playing. I am currently a professional athlete training in my off season with time to care and love your pet. Through my experience working with animals I have found I genuinely enjoy having a daily companion. My wife and I have a home with a fenced in backyard, with ample space inside to have a kennel if you practice crate training with your dog. We have a black lab that loves other dogs and a cat. I live in a quiet part of my neighborhood and feel safe walking my dog all the time.
About: Growing up in a home with multiple dogs taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention are when caring for pets. I’m very comfortable around dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that means going on walks, playing, or just helping them feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I know every dog is different, and I always try to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’ve grown up in a home with multiple cats and dogs. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets are comfortable and cared for throughout the day. Because I’ve always been around animals, caring for them feels like a normal and easy part of my everyday life. I’m used to living in a multi-pet household, so I pay attention to different needs at the same time. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully by making sure they’re fed on time, getting the exercise and attention they need, and making sure they always have a clean, safe space. I also focus on being calm, patient, and respectful of each pet’s comfort level.
“Amanda was great with my dog Klaus! She included lots of pictures of him during their walks which gave me a piece of mind while I was at work. I will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
Riverside dog parents share their Rover experiences
Vizslas are notoriously aloof and skeptical with new people. Moose is also currently in his angsty tween stage. We had a few previous meetings and greets where he decided he wasn’t a good match with the prospective dog walkers. Jordan arrived on time dressed both professionally and appropriately for a first meeting and walk with a high energy dog. She took the time to introduce herself, meet and bond with Moose, and was very easy to get along with and knowledgeable about not only working dogs but also the Rover program itself. She immediately put both myself and moose at ease. She spent time in the back yard playing fetch with him (he tends to make you feel like you’re an automatic tennis ball thrower) and then took him for a nice walk. She quickly learned his hand signals and Dutch and English voice commands. He was very disappointed to see his new friend go and is looking forward to his next adventure with her- as he has been missing his daily runs with me and now has a new awesome exercise buddy! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone!
My first time using Brittany with my dog who has some anxieties and she was the perfect fit! He warmed up to her immediately on meet and greet and did great with her while we were out of town. I will definitely be utilizing her services again. I feel very comfortable with her.
Amazing dog walker. She got my very stubborn dog to actually walk which was a miracle and made sure they were completely safe and taken care of. It’s always scary letting someone take care of your furbabies for the first time and she made me feel so comfortably and at ease! Will definitely use her again.
I hired Jess to walk my two dogs, and she was wonderful! She even made the effort to come meet them ahead of time when my husband was home, which I really appreciated. The pups took to her right away. She showed up on time for both walks, sent photos, and made sure they had plenty of water afterward. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I would definitely hire her again!
Teddy is wonderful with my pup, Lucy. She always gets so excited to see him and really enjoys their walks and playing fetch. Teddy is super punctual, always on time and prepared with leashes and bags. I know Lucy is in good hands when they go on their adventures.
