“Michelle is an absolute gem of a dog walker! From the moment she met my Guster, I knew we were in good hands. Her genuine love for animals is clear in everything she does — from the way she greets Gussy with enthusiasm each visit, to the thoughtful updates and photos she sends after every walk. Michelle is dependable, professional, and truly treats Guster like her own. My dog lights up when she sees Michelle, and I have total peace of mind knowing hes being cared for with such kindness and attention. Rain or shine, Michelle always shows up with a smile and ensures my biy gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and love. Finding someone you can trust to care for your animal as you do is no small thing, and I’m incredibly grateful to have found Michelle. If you’re looking for someone who’s reliable, caring, and simply amazing with dogs — look no further. Michelle is the best!”


About: While I was growing up, my family always had cats and dogs. I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have 7 pets. I have 2 rabbits, 2 Guinea pigs, a crested gecko, a cat and a dog. I have been volunteering at a rabbit rescue for 3 years. I have experience giving medication to dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs. I am comfortable around dogs of all energy levels. I work full time from home, 8-5 Monday to Friday. I will be available most weekday nights and weekends. Days and times can be flexible. If I am caring for a pet in someone’s home, I will be very respectful of their home and exactly follow their instructions as far as taking care of their fur baby.

About: I offer reliable and loving care for your pets while you’re away or at work. Whether you’re going on vacation or just need a little help. I ensure that your furry family will be comfortable, safe, and happy in the comfort of my home, or yours. My services include daily walks and exercise to keep your pets active and healthy, feeding and administering medications if needed, playtime and companionship, regular updates and photos so you can relax and focus on what you’re doing. I treat each pet like family. I’m dedicated to making sure your pets routine stays normal as possible and they feel loved in your absence. Feel free to contact me for more information or to book a meet and greet. I had my soul dog for 21 years and my soul cat for 18 years so I get that pets are true family. I currently work remote since Covid in the financial industry for the last five years. I have the flexibility for visits to check in, walks throughout the day, and also with notice I can provide boarding which will be one client at a time. I also have plenty experience with cats. There are no current pets at my home so I can provide undivided attention. 🐾 I live in a spacious, well kept condo, and there is plenty of room for furry friends and there are no other pets living here at this time. One client at a time.

“Madison is great! Great communication, followed all the steps needed to properly walk Enzo and went above and beyond to ensure my dog was taken care of. The photos provided during the walks were a nice touch and shows that Madison provides high quality customer service!! I would highly recommend Madison and would definitely use her services again in the future.”


About: New to Rover but not new to pet-sitting. I have had pets or been around animals my entire life (including puppies, dogs, kittens, cats, fish, rabbits, and birds) and they have always been considered a part of the family. I love every pet as if they’re my own- prepare for the custody battle 😅. lol jk. In all seriousness, your pets comfort is important to me and I am confident they will feel right at home. I have experience with puppies and all the beautiful challenges that come with that stage, as well as senior care. I have also had experience with adopting my own dog with reactive tendencies which has made me hyper aware of the importance of dogs social cues both with animals and people, and reading their body language/boundaries. Safety for all parties involved is always my top priority. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. Walks availability: Anytime Sun-Tues, (Wed-Sat hours fluctuate, will need to discuss exact needs.) Doggy daycare availability: Anytime Sun-Sat (if pick-up/drop-off needed will need to discuss availability in more depth.) Boarding availability: Anytime Sun-Sat (if pick-up/drop-off needed will need to discuss availability in more depth.) I currently have boarding slots set up to 4 at a time but feel free to contact me regarding specific availability needs. For example, does your pet require an environment without other animals? Do you have 2 dogs but 3 cats? Based on your pets specific needs, we can discuss alternate solutions. I do require meet & greets for any new clients to ensure it’s a good fit and safety requirements are met for all. We can discuss what works best for your pet. As long as animal is house broken and properly trained, I am flexible with crate/uncrated visits/boarding. My apartment complex is dog friendly but unfenced so would require on leash walks. Property also includes fenced in dog area, or I am open to dog park runs if that is your preference. If scheduling crated boarding, will need to provide own crate.

About: I take care of my neighbors dogs, friends cats, my best friends bring their dogs over and we all walk together. All of our animals were rescued. I am not working over the summer so I am very flexible during the day to help take care of animals when needed/ walking/ letting them out to use the bathroom. I walk the dogs on leashes, I only let them out when there is a fenced in area. I have a fenced in yard at home, that my dog goes out and plays in.

About: I love all dogs! They are all so funny, each with their own fun personalities. I love to go for walks with the dogs, sometimes 2 at a time! When your pup is in my care my focus is on keeping them safe and happy! I am retired from working so I like to say that I am a stay at home dog Mom! When I am watching your dog, there is nothing more important to me than your fur baby’s safety and happiness. Since I am home full time I am available for your pup 24/7! I do occasionally leave the house but usually not longer than an hour or two. I have a large fenced in yard and a sweet, fun 2 year old Lab mix who loves to play with dogs of all ages and sizes. I have a 5 month old grand puppy and Reba loves playing with her!

“Lola absolutely loved her walk with Jain. She came back happy as a clam and relaxed. I’ve had knee surgery so it’s hard to move around. Jain was super understanding. Arrived on time and ready to go! Will be using her services again! 10/10”



About: I've been a pet owner since I was a child (dogs, rabbits, hamsters, birds, and even fish). I've grown up with large breed dogs, small breed dogs, and everything in between. Dogs have been considered family for my entire life, and I started dog sitting after losing my fur baby (a Pug, aged 17) in 2016. Although I no longer board dogs in my home (I now have 2 PitWeenie rescue dogs, Lilo & Stitch), I happily dog sit in your home, and I enjoy providing drop in visits, as well as dog walking! I house and pet sit in your home! Overnight stays can be done during the week and weekends. If you want me to stay with your pet for a full day along with an overnight, that would require booking an overnight AND a drop in visit service, and details shared through a message. I can only do FULL DAY combined with overnight on Saturdays and Sundays. Overnights I can do after work, leaving in the morning to go to my full time job. Need more details? Send me a message when booking. Fur babies are family members, and it's up to me to make sure your family members maintain their same daily schedule they are used to. If you tell me they love to eat their meals with a human sitting on the floor with them, that's what I'll do. If they are used to sleeping in bed with their humans, they get to sleep in bed with this human, too! My goal: make your dog feel as is nothing has changed, other than the human, in their home.

About: I’ve been a dog owner most of my life, beginning when I was just a child. We had our boy Ozzy, a beautiful yellow lab, for 14 unforgettable years. Once we got over his passing early in 2024, we adopted a beautiful, spunky little guy named Koa! He’s a lab/terrier mix and currently about 10 months old. I am his primary caregiver while my wife is at work, and we are what I like to say ‘best buds 4 life!’ :). I am also deeply committed to learning how to train him, and in the process have learned a ton about the training side of things. He was a bit wild when we got him at 7 months old and we paid a professional to teach us how to train him. So I am certainly no stranger to spunky, high-energy dogs! When our boy Ozzy was getting up in age, he unfortunately started dealing with anxiety, confusion, and bowel problems. I am definitely sympathetic and more than qualified to deal with older dogs too. Taking care of our boy Koa is actually my full-time gig right now, so my daily schedule is mostly open. As I get more clients I suspect that could change but for now I’m very available. This includes most weekends and holidays too. I am well-versed in dog walking and/or sitting. For boarding, we have a nice big fenced-in yard that’s secure. Lots of toys and balls. :).

“She is so patient and caring, I had to scheduled an emergency walk because my dog was left alone by a family member that was supposed to stay with him, he met her for the first time without me being home and she patiently tried to warm him up, he is too territorial but she let him in the back yard and he used the bathroom. I cannot thank her enough !”


About: Hello! My name is Samantha, and I’ve been surrounded by fur babies my entire life. Growing up, I had two miniature poodles, one of whom had special needs. He struggled with chronic allergies and a seizure disorder, and I helped care for him with daily medications and a special diet that gave him a long, happy life until he passed at 16 years old. Today, my family includes two standard poodles, two parrots, and a rabbit. Beyond that, I also care for the wildlife around my home. I feed 20–30 blue jays daily, I feed stray cats, and I’ve built enough trust with the wild rabbits in my yard that they now let me hand-feed them. Those quiet moments with animals bring me so much joy. In high school, I pursued my passion for animal care by completing the BOCES veterinary program, where I earned two Awards of Excellence. I also hold a Veterinary Medical Assistant certification, which reflects my dedication to giving animals the love and care they deserve. I’m starting college this fall and am excited about my future, but my love for animals will always hold a big place in my heart. That’s why I’ve decided to make room for even more fur babies by offering my help here to anyone in need. I’m flexible with my schedule and happy to work with you to find times that best fit your pet’s needs. Any time of the day you need, I’m there. When it comes to caring for your dogs, I make safety and trust my top priorities. Whether I’m walking your pup, staying with them in your home, or just dropping by for a visit, you can count on me to treat them as if they were my own. I always pay close attention to their surroundings, making sure walks are safe, leashes are secure, and they’re never put in uncomfortable situations. Your trust means everything to me, and I know how important it is to feel at ease when leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain consistency with their routines, and keep communication open so you always know how they’re doing. I also believe a calm, positive environment is key to happy pets. Whether it’s giving them plenty of exercise, engaging playtime, or just quiet companionship, I do my best to create an environment where your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. In my spare time I volunteer at an animal shelter, which is where I have developed my passion for dogs. I recently became a "certified dog trainer"and I have experience with many different breeds. I currently have two dogs of my own. I have a six year old cockapoo and a four year old LllapsoAapso/Havanese, which we rescued. At the shelter I have gotten to know and spend time with many different types of puppies and dogs. It is always exciting to see the new muzzles coming in and after spending special time with them, they soon get adopted into their forever homes and that is just wonderful to see. Looking forward to meeting you and your dog!

About: I have been the pet sitter for all my friends and family for years , from 200pds English mastiff to 4pd Pomeranian. I have had 5 dogs at one time and it was a joy watching them play. I am currently babysitting 3 young girls for school teachers 6am to 730am. i am free after that. I some times help a friend of mine deliver food during his busy time. Just looking to fill my time with what I LOVE AND THATS ANIMALS. i HAVE A LARGE FENCED IN YARD AND 2 FURY BABIES OF MY OWN TO KEEP YOU PUPS ACTIVE. If need be crates can be used if needed. My baby sleeps with us in the bedroom one on the bed one in her bed on the floor.

About: I’ve been caring for and loving animals my whole life, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just good company, I’m here to treat your pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m in online college and have a flexible job, so I can be available whenever your pet needs me. I especially love going on long walks, so your pup will get plenty of exercise, attention, and fresh air throughout the week. I follow your pet’s routine closely, whether it’s crating, giving meds, or any special care. I keep their space clean, secure, and calm so they feel safe and cared for at all times.

Samantha C.
“Samantha is one of the sweetest and kindest people I know, with a huge heart for all animals. She helps my husband and I care for our poodles, especially my male poodle who has hip dysplasia and an injured leg. He receives injections twice a week for his condition and takes Dasuquin daily to support his joint health, and Samantha has been such a big help with his care. My husband and I also feel at ease when we travel, knowing that our dogs are in her hands. She truly gives us peace of mind. What makes Samantha so special is the way she connects with animals on such a genuine level. She is patient, gentle, and always attentive to their needs. Even when my poodle has his tough days, she takes the time to comfort him and make sure he feels safe. She doesn’t just handle the basics of feeding or walking, she notices the little details that matter, like when he’s moving a bit stiff or when he just needs some extra love and attention. She’s also incredibly reliable, which is something that’s hard to come by. It’s clear that she doesn’t just see this as a responsibility but as something she truly cares about. Whether it’s helping us with the medical side of things, giving them playtime, walking them or just being there for snuggles, Samantha puts her whole heart into it.”


Arlene S.

“Arlene has worked at Bideawee for 4 years. She is an excellent caretaker, and trainer. She has helped socialize and train dogs that are extremely shy and fearful. She also works with young puppies and teaches them their 'puppy manners' and obedience through positive reinforcement training. Arlene has most recently worked with dogs that were rescued from the meat trade in Thailand, and has helped them learn to trust people, and learn tricks as well! I would highly recommend Arlene as a dog trainer or pet caregiver.”

Linda is reliable, patient, attentive, and trustworthy. We just love her!”
