Dog Sitting in Rock Tavern

About: (Please no retractable leashes, a regular leash will be provided if you don't have a regular leash) also please disclose any behavior issues first hand before walk! I have a over 25 years of experience with dogs/cats as well having my own pets and career experience. I want to welcome you and your pet to a safe and compassionate experience. I have all paws on your family companion and give full attention to their needs and service in a calm and clean/safe environment. Exercise is a great way for your pet to get rid of those extra zoomies, all while being organized to maintain a routine. I also ensure direct communication with my clients to ensure what your pets needs are met. I offer great flexibility for services that tend to my customers and clients my routines are not complex when caring for your dog. Caring for your pet is a full time job and lots of attention. That's why I have dedicated full time to caring for my pet and yours Just a heads up — I do require at least 2 days’ notice before the initial visit. I also require a meet & greet within that 2 day timeframe of services so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a good fit for both you and your pet(s). 🐾 Feeding schedules, medications, potty routines, walks, fears, triggers, aggression, emergency vet information, and house rules. Make sure you also understand how to access the home, alarm instructions. During the visit, feed pets exactly as instructed and always provide fresh water. Give dogs exercise, potty breaks, attention, and playtime while monitoring for signs of stress or illness. For cats, clean litter boxes daily, refresh food and water, and allow them to approach you comfortably. For small pets, make sure enclosures are secure and follow feeding instructions carefully. Always prioritize safety by keeping doors and gates closed, using leashes when outside, and avoiding unfamiliar animals or unsafe situations. Watch for signs of illness or injury and contact the owner if anything seems unusual.

About: Our pets are more than just companions. They are family, this makes them so much more precious. Which is why with me I can guarantee that I will do my best to provide the love and care your pet deserves. I have cared for dogs young and old, big and small, calm and energetic, you name it. I have experience feeding, cleaning after them as well as themselves, and giving medications with specific instruction. I am available all night on Monday into the evening on Tuesdays. As well as in the evening on Fridays up until the evening on Sunday. Other days of the week are very negotiable to what you may need! I personally love to encourage as much activity as possible with my dogs to ensure they get healthy amounts of play time. This in turn allows them to get ample rest when they are tired from activity further encouraging a healthy lifestyle for my furry kiddos.

About: Hi! My name is Sarahi, and I'm a gal who has always had a passion for loving and working with animals. I have 9 years of pet sitting experience, as I've been pet sitting since I was fourteen years old, and haven't stopped since. I love animals of any size or personality or quirk - they're all worthy of love and attention in my eyes! However, those who know me know that I have a soft spot for dogs :) Neighbors, friends and family members have all trusted me to feed, walk and care for their precious fur-babies. I have experience caring for doggos of all ages- from puppies to seniors. Depending on location, duration, and/or what you prefer, I can plan to stay with them overnight or just drop in to spend time during the day as needed. I'm all about doing what is most comfortable for your fur-baby! Gentle compassion and enthusiastic care are standards I always uphold. I value clear communication and honesty with pet parents. My attention to detail helps me ensure that every pet I care for gets the individualized attention they deserve. My goal is to make sure they feel loved and safe in their own homes while you are away. I love to take them on walks, help groom and bathe them, make sure they are fed, help with medication if necessary and of course - play and give them lots of love. I can also just lay around with them if that’s more their speed. Whatever their needs, I’m here to help while you’re away! :) I can offer plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. I currently work from home three days a week and have a very flexible schedule, making it super easy to bring my work to the home I sit for and attend to your pet's needs. I spend my days off participating in volunteer work mostly in the mornings, but I always ensure to be back in time to take care of them. I am unable to board at my house but am more than willing to drop in or stay at yours :)- whatever makes you and your pet feel most comfortable! In both cases, I make sure to follow pet parents’ instructions very carefully. I will ensure that all areas that we are playing or walking in are either fenced in or they are always leashed. When I’m away, they can be crated if needed and I will ensure they are let out before I leave. Pets in my care are always supervised. I make sure to regularly check on them when things seem too quiet, and am attentive to food, water, and potty needs. I provide a comfortable and familiar environment for your pet, sticking to their regular routines. I also give lots of attention and love to keep them feeling safe and happy. After years of house sitting, I am also used to existing respectfully in someone else’s space. I am tidy and always try to make your home as clean as it was when you left before I leave. I am a quiet neighbor and will ensure that all doors are locked/security systems are set when needed. I make sure to stay in constant communication with you, sending updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in great hands!

About: I have hands on experience providing attentive, compassionate care for pets with a variety of needs. I have administered insulin injections and other basic medications, and I always prioritize safety and gentle handling. Whether it’s feeding, walks, or drop-in visits, I make sure each pet receives reliable care, attention, and plenty of affection. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they feel comfortable, secure, and loved. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet for a nice walk or drop in visit! In fact, it’s something I look forward to. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to build trust not just with your pet, but with you as well—so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

“Jenna has been taking care of my pups for the past month or so and I couldn’t be happier. I work in NYC, 3 days a week and am gone about 12 hours an each day. It’s so nice to have found someone I can rely on to show up and take good care of my Benji and Bailey! Thanks so much Jenna!”

“Jenna was amazing! Our usual sitter had to cancel last minute after we had already left. Jenna accommodated a VERY last minute request and saved the day so we didn’t have to leave our event! She was reliable, caring, and gave us total peace of mind. Highly recommend her! Thank you Jenna!!”

About: I work in veterinary medicine! I’ve worked with cats and dogs, all ages and all sizes. I used to train animals professionally when I worked in animal care at the aquariums before moving to veterinary medicine. I currently work full time in veterinary medicine. So my hours are a little odd but my main days that I could do any walks are Saturdays and Sundays. I have experience in pet sitting, I’m comfortable going to houses if needed and staying with your fur babies. I have experience with all temperaments of animals, but I’m mainly just looking for dog walking!

“So amazing! Came and met us before the day of and notified me when she was there. Chip was a sleepy happy puppy when we got home! Definitely will use again ❤️”

About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life. I have watched all kind of pets for friends, family, and clients. Even a few lizards and hamsters! All ages are welcome from seniors (medicine included) to littles. I work full time and my husband (my pet loving partner) is home in the AM hours. We are a team of pet care. I am available to do walks in the mornings and evenings. If you pet needs a mid-day check in, my husband would LOVE to spoil your pet with attention. My home is pet friendly. We don't have a gated yard, but we love to walk and are active hikers too. In your home, I am respectful of your house and will follow any instructions you have.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. From childhood to adulthood, I have been taking care of four legged family members and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Let me care for your dogs with the love that they deserve. I currently work a Monday through Friday full time job, so I am looking to book drop-in visits only on Saturdays mornings. I may expand in the future. For Saturday walks and drop-in visits, I will follow all guidelines put in place by my clients. I will always make sure my clients dogs are safe and well cared for.

“Sammy is the absolute best in the area! She took such good care of our dog Ellie and we would use her services again in a heartbeat. We got lots of pictures of the visit, and she took her for a nice long walk. She definitely knows her stuff with dogs, and when she first met us and Ellie, she let Ellie warm up to her on her own terms and took her time. Before we knew it Ellie was curled up on her lap. We trust Sammy to watch her in the future and highly recommend all of her services! She is very flexible and accommodating as well. Very satisfied dog parents here!”

About: I am the most experienced, cost-effective, and caring pet sitter you will find. I am dedicated to providing worry-free pet care directly in your animal’s home environment. I work a flexible schedule as a barista and am working toward pet sitting full time, so your pet will always be my top priority. I approach every situation with extreme compassion. I assess every possible need and think through every possible outcome from top to bottom. I approach every walk, visit, and task with a mindful, in-the-moment approach.

About: I have a very special connection with all animals and will love and care for your pet as if it were my own! I have a lifetime of experience with cats and a few years of experience with dogs, namely raising and training my own dog from ~2 months old. He’s the sweetest, happiest pup and he is very loved! I work from home and have plenty of time to spend with your pet, whether that’s walking them, playing with them or bringing them to appointments!! I don’t have a fenced in yard but have plenty of space to walk and play with your dog outside (or inside!). I can crate the dog if necessary, and my puppy is extremely friendly and welcoming with new dogs!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 and have experience with pups of all sizes, breeds, and ages — from playful puppies to calm senior dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable supporting different energy levels and personalities, whether your dog loves long walks, cozy couch time, or routine-based care. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, and well-cared-for while you’re away, with plenty of attention, kindness, and communication. I work remotely for part of the week, which gives me flexibility and plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and in-home sitting on weekdays and select weekends, and I’m reliable with communication and scheduling. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow feeding and routine instructions closely, respect your space, and keep you updated with photos and messages during each visit or stay. I do not offer boarding at this time.
