“Carolina was so caring for our little Yoshi! She followed our instructions and also sent such detailed updates. We can't wait for her to take care of our little pup again!”


“Fionnuala is as always, a life saver. She makes herself available, even on the shortest of notice. My dog is a high energy, jumping handful. But she's great with him! I'm so appreciative of when she's able to stop in and care for my fur baby.”


“Tatyana was amazing! She is very good with Juniper and he absolutely loved her. She was professional and I was happy to trust her with the care of my cat. I would definitely book her services again!”


“Colleen is simply the best!! She took care of my cat for 5 days while I was out of state. She was very communicative and let me know each time when she arrived. She also provided a little note and photos each visit which I truly appreciate. I felt so relieved knowing my cat was happy and doing okay! I highly recommend Colleen and I will definitely be using her again in the future.”


“Helene is awesome. I heard her on my ring cameras talking to my pups, and could immediately tell she’s a true animal lover. She followed my instructions and sent several great photos. We will most definitely be repeat customers!”


“Andrea was very easy to work and communicate with through the whole process, and put us at ease for our first time using Rover. She sent great photos and didn’t mind the occasional love bites one of our cats tends to give.”


About: I have a dog of my own. He’s a miniature poodle I learned how to potty train him in the home and also trained him to see his crate as a safe space. I’m currently a college student that’s home for the whole summer, with 100% free time. I am free Sunday to Saturday, most likely all day. I've watched dogs my whole life! I also have a dog of my own. I know the ins and outs! I will get them to their daily walks on time, I will feed them on time. I will treat your dog as my own. Dogs bring me joy and I would love this opportunity to build a relationship with yours!

About: *** Please don't send me requests for dates if you see my calendar is already blocked off with those dates & PLEASE READ MY ENTIRE PROFILE BEFORE BOOKING *** I keep my calendar up to date so use other dates if Rover insists you must pick dates for sitting in order for a message to go thru** Also, if booking for day care, after 4 hours of a stay, this is going to get the full day rate because I do not take multiple dogs I am also charging for 3 days when it's a weekend if the dog is coming early on Friday and going home on Sunday because I can't have a dog for 3 days and only get paid for 2 days. I have only raised my rate by $1-2 since Covid & take one family of dogs at a time. Please respond back to all messages if you reach out. Thx. ** I am trying to take dogs now under 50 pounds, very small/small to medium preferred. It would be very helpful if you list the specific breed of your dog too and give details. No aggressive breeds taken, sorry, no Pitbulls. My husband and I both work from home as my only job is caring for the dogs staying at my house. It is nice because someone is always here and the dogs get a ton of attention. My name is Hope Landow-Schnur and I adore dogs. I raised my own dogs for over 14+ years - Bailey and Jango. Everyone that knows me, knows that I am the ultimate pet lover and treated my dogs as well as my children. We have a nice home in River Vale, NJ with a huge 6' high fenced in yard. I am married with triplets - 22 years old and they love playing with our guest dogs. I have my own big crate set up (only if you crate your dog) and ready to welcome your dog(s) into my home when you need to be away overnight or for an extended period of time. I will do my best to keep your treasured pet on their own schedule with feedings, playtime and time outside running around the back yard or if you prefer, walks only. I've made floor dogs into lap dogs, they get extra spoiled with me! You will also get lots of photos & updates when you are away. I just recently changed my setting to small to medium dogs if you are a repeat customer and can not find me on line. I'm also available for dog day care in my home if my calendar is free. After 6 hours, it is considered a full rate instead of the daily rate if you plan to leave your dog with me. Looking forward to hearing from you & I respond back promptly! Thanks. Hope

About: I have been taking care of my dog for about 7 years now, I have been feeding him and playing with him, I love them. I work a part time job so in my free time I like walking dogs and seeing other dogs and everything they have to give. I have a fence so he can play when he wants on the deck or if he wants a walk. If they misbehave I can crate them so they can learn.

About: Although I do not have much professional pet sitting experience, i really have a soft spot for caring for animals. I believe that animals are the sweetest souls and I have owned animals all my life.And with animals at home I care for them deeply. I can help with pet sitting, feedings , walks, cleaning their areas / crates, bathing , etc. I also have a tabby and a chihuahua at home ! :) And can care for additional animals (feeding fish, turtles , hamsters etc) I work as a full time teachers assistant so I work from 8am - 3:15pm. I can help anytime afterwards and also weekends full time! I can easily provide help to your pets during moments of stress and discomfort. If needed I can help them in their crates / beds. I am fully vaccinated and fully background checked in new york state as I am in the education field. Your pets and homes are safe in my hands! :)


“Erick was great. His communication was exceptional and he really took the time to understand the layout of our house and our pets routine. His updates were very thoughtful and we appreciated the pictures he sent. Would recommend!”


About: I am a certified dog trainer through The Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers® (CCPDT®) and well as a Certified Feline Training and Behavior Specialist (CFTBS) Advanced Feline Training Professional (CAFTP) through Animal Behavior Institute. I have dedicated my life to animal care through professions in veterinary behavior offices, shelters, as well as private training. I’m excited to provide your pet with safe and dedicated care! Currently this is my main focus I am available during the weekdays in mornings and afternoons. With advanced notice I can be available some weekend mornings or afternoons. I am dedicated to providing a safe but fun experience for your pet. As a pet parent myself, I understand that each animal is an individual and will do my best to provide the best experience tailored to each personality.

About: I provide consistent reliable care; adhering to feeding schedules, outside/indoor activities, spending quality time, and administering any required medications. I also provide ample cuddle time! I’m pretty flexible with my daily and weekly routine. I have an open schedule, which allows me the time and flexibility to meet your pets’ needs. I love spending quality time with pets - providing affection (if your pet consents), mental stimulation through activities or toys, and overall providing a comfortable place for your pet.

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including walking, bathing, and ensuring their overall well-being. I previously worked as a dog bather, giving me hands-on experience with different breeds and temperaments. As a dedicated pet lover with three dogs of my own, I understand the importance of patience, exercise, and affection in pet care. Friends and family have come to me for years to look after and walk their pets! My previous experiences has equipped me to handle various energy levels and needs, ensuring each pet gets personalized attention. Whether it’s a fun walk or just some extra love, I always prioritize their happiness and safety. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as a college student with a flexible schedule. I have Mondays, Fridays, and most weekends free, along with availability on Tuesdays after 2 PM and Wednesdays after 12 PM. My schedule allows me to be reliable and accommodating. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, routine, and well-being. I follow any specific instructions provided, ensuring meals, walks, and playtime align with their usual schedule. I provide fresh water, give plenty of attention, and make sure they get the exercise they need. If needed, I can also handle light grooming, such as brushing or wiping paws after walks. I always respect the client’s home, keeping it clean and secure while ensuring their pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for in their familiar environment.

About: I’m a recent college graduate with degrees in Education and History, and I’ll be starting my career as a teacher this September. For the I’m looking for meaningful summer work—and what could be better than spending time with animals! I’ve been caring for both my own pets and others’ for over 8 years, and I bring the same level of responsibility and attention to detail to pet sitting as I do to the classroom. I’m punctual, dependable, and full of energy—whether your pet needs long walks, playtime at the park, or just some extra love and attention, I’m happy to provide it. I’m also experienced with a wide range of pet needs, including puppies. I am available Monday - Thursday (after 2:30) as well as Fridays and weekends (any time)! I begin teaching high school in September and availability will differ. In my own home, I spoil my little babies 🥰 I feed my cats dry food twice a day, stock their water fountain with water, keep the dry food stocked, and clean their litter boxes. I give them outside time as long as they stay close or just have the back screen door open to let them see, smell, and hear the nature. Occasionally, I will take them in walks in the kitty stroller with the dog on the leash. When taking care of other people’s cats, I treat them with the same love I would my own. I am happy to care for them in all the same ways, including spending time with them, not just running in and out to feed and clean. I also usually provide photo updates. I take care of my dog by feeding him dry food, letting him out every three hours, taking him on walks as often as possible, giving him snuggles, playing fetch, giving treats, etc. so pretty much treat my dog like a king. I am happy to do the same for you!


About: I have always been the main pet care giver and companion to all of our family’s animals! I have been a pet sitter for 20 years and hope to do it well into retirement! I have and give the most respect for animals and pet owners. I have learned so much about dogs and their views on life through reading, researching and dog sitting/walking! My experience with so many breads has educated me and encouraged me to keep loving these beneficial animals! My current dog walking/sitting job is with a 4 year old Black French Bulldog who had my heart at 4 weeks old! My communications with my clients and their dogs is an honest and loving trade off! I have also worked at a doggy daycare in Westchester .

Hope L.

“Hello fellow dog lovers! I have known Hope for over 14 years. We have watched each others children grow up. By children, I am also including her dogs! Over the years Hope has shared as many photos of her children, as she did of her dogs. They were truly a much loved part of her family! Hope is a true dog lover. She loves when they snuggle by her feet, bounce around the backyard, look up at you with those big puppy eyes! She is a kind, loving, attentive and highly responsible dog sitter. She really enjoys their presence in her home, and will treat your pet as if s/he were her own!! I highly recommend Hope as a dog sitter, your dog will definitely be returned to you spoiled by love!”


Theodore G.
“As Teddy's father, I've had the privilege of watching him grow into an incredibly kind, responsible, and thoughtful young man—especially when it comes to animals. From a very early age, he showed a deep empathy for pets and a natural ability to connect with them. When our neighbors went on vacation, Teddy stepped in without hesitation, making sure their dogs were not just cared for, but loved and given plenty of attention and playtime. He approaches every task with maturity and a big heart. Whether he’s out walking dogs in the neighborhood or simply sitting with a nervous pup to keep them company, he brings calm, warmth, and a strong sense of responsibility. I’d trust him with any pet, any time. He’d be an incredible asset to the Rover community.”

Kristyn F.
“Kristyn has dedicated her life to the welfare of animals. From working/ volunteering at shelters to her work with behavior veterinarians and recently rescue work she has always put animals interests first. She has a strong work ethic and is dedicated to her trade to the point that she is highly respected and relied upon in her field. She has experience in dog walking as well as training and her vet tech degree puts her in a unique category. She can communicate with animals in a way that is inherent and cannot be taught. She would make an valuable member to your team”


Sadyn A.
“Sadyn was really a life saver. I was going on a last minute trip and she was able to take care of my dog for me. She sent me constant updates and kept him to eating and walking schedule. When I came back home I could tell that both of them really bonded. He didn’t want to leave her side and cried when it was time to leave! I definitely recommend Sadyn!”


Carley G.
“I have known Carley G. for over eight years and during this time I have observed the dedication, loyalty and sensitivity that she has for our four legged friends. As a pet owner who is way too attached to her dog, I enthusiastically recommend Carley as a conscientious and caring pet sitter. I know that she will care for our two boxer puppies as I would. I am more comfortable leaving my animals with Carley because she really relates to each animal individually. Every dog she keeps forms a bond with her. When I leave my babies, it is important for me to know that more than her physical needs will be satisfied. The affection that she receives from Carley makes her separation from me less stressful.”


Michael S.

“I would highly recommend Michael for your pet sitting needs. He is responsible, timely and communicative. I had no worries with him caring for my pet.”


Sophie P.
“I am delighted to provide this reference for Sophie, who has been caring for my pets while I’m away. Sophie is trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely loves animals. She has looked after all 4 of my cats and my dog on multiple occasions, and I always return to find them happy, healthy, and well-cared for. She takes the time to understand each pet’s individual needs and routines. Whether it’s administering medication, keeping up with feeding schedules, taking the dog for walks, or simply giving them plenty of affection and attention, Sophie handles it all with great care and professionalism. Knowing that Sophie is looking after my pets gives me peace of mind whenever I travel. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter.”




Rachel P.
“I have known Rachel for a few years now. We met one day when she was walking a clients dog. I liked her instantly. She had a great personality, and she treated her clients dog so well, that I thought it was her pet. Rachel and I became quick friends and I hired her to care for my sheltie, Dakota, when needed. I never worry with her. She is very responsible. I can depend on her anytime. I wouldn't have anyone but her care for my dog. I was very lucky to have met her that day. Plus Dakota loves her!”
